Current Earthquake Activity and Aftershocks

Reality has this way of resetting itself. Pay attention and you will notice change beyond what the eye records.

Aaron Judge slams 61st home run of 2022, tying the single-season AL record. with Roger Maris. The New York Yankees slugger equaled the mark of fellow Bronx Bomber Roger Maris in 1961.

Judge still has time to beat the record and I think he will.

Weather has a way of speaking to us - sometimes with greater emphasis than initially understood. Those with family and friends in Florida will be watching Ian moving across the state and praying for the safety of loved ones.

Wednesday morning I listened to a woman who lives in Florida talk about an increase in home owners insurance and that some insurance companies have gone out of business so there will be no reimbursement after the storm. Many Floridians never had insurance and will lose everything reminding me of the aftermath of the wildfires in California.

Sadly there is no going back in every definition of the word. This storm is going to change neighborhoods, communities, towns, not just for weeks, months, or years, but possibly forever.

I spent most of Wednesday morning texting with friends and family in Florida - the weather service announcing that Ian is the fifth most powerful storm to ever hit the United States.

Wednesday afternoon I met my friend Diane to do some shopping. As we passed a Halloween display we couldn't resist taking a few pics ... along came three high school students on their way home from school and joined in reminding me of my teaching days.

Increasing extreme climate change - developing into natural disasters - certainly are one of the learning lessons of society today - but on this day we all wanted a treat not a trick.

Back at home I spend the rest of the afternoon ... into the evening ... checking in with Florida relatives and friends coping with Hurricane Ian. So far so good Life aways seems to be about coping one way or another ... doesn't it?

As previously posted, the Mid-Atlantic Ridge is rising which will affect everything that borders on the Atlantic Ocean including Florida.
