Today the ground between the states of Guerrero and Oaxaca, Mexico shook, and shook quite violently. With a huge 7.4 Quake at less than 10 miles deep, the ground was tossed mightily; we're still waiting on reports of the severity of the damage. But with a large cluster of 7 quakes from the massive 7.4 to 4.6, and all of the quakes clustered in a radius of less than 40 miles; including one offshore; there has to be some serious damage. This is also NOT an unpopulated area.

There are more, around the world. But this was a blast in a small region.

So, who's up for the next rumble? My guess the San Andreas may be feeling some shaking soon.

Over the past 5 or 6 years I've had a Google Alert for Earthquakes going. It's been quite interesting to see the various locations and what seem to be 'patterns' - despite the constant denial of 'earthquake patterns' by the experts.Once WU began including earthquake data in the Interactive FLASH Map on the landing page, I've been following it like a puppy in heat. But for WHY! - I don't know - I didn't think about logging these in a personal map on Google Maps! She...

[UPDATE: 02.16.12 ]I didn't have time to peal the image and make a map again, but noticed that today's Xtreme temps were in roughly the same places as yesterday. So for another FIRST, this was the first time with a double-day where the Xtremes temps are so close togther! Interesting.les O'fieldstream----I thought y'all might find this bit of trivia interesting. I have been paying rather close attention to the Extreme HI and LO for the day, posted on the Default ...

WE DO!Today's little inset FLASH Map of Weather Events shows only two spots on my map; has only shown this most of the day. Big earthshaken event in the Shetland Islands just north of Antar...

South Texas FREEZES SOLID!

Posted by: ofieldstream, 6:15 AM GMT on December 18, 2011

We can only assume that the entire population of south Texas brass-monkey's will be lost to this devastating arctic blast.It is utterly unbelievable. OH..! The sheer frigidity of it all. As you can see this is an official condition, fully d...
