Today 32 Years and 6 Hours to the Day of the 1985 Catastrophic 8.0 Mexico Earthquake — Central Mexico Was Rocked by

7.1 Magnitude Earthquake —

 

“Is there a relationship between the September 7, 2017, quake of

magnitude 8.1 in state of Chiapas? A lot of people will think that they

are related, and there's going to be a lot of work on that.”

- Gavin Hayes, Ph.D., Seismologist, USGS, Golden, Colorado

Sadly the death toll approaches 300, many were children in the school that collapsed.

      It actually says more about how old I am, Jesse (22). Unfortunatley I can't share your memories of being serenaded with blessings in May 1998! edit: my main point was about green grass those two years were pretty green through mid July here, 2022 especially. Definitely not the norm of the last decade or so

      Polite Politics

      Ugh, The View. What a bunch of squawkers! He stood his ground and made Sunny Hostin look like an idiot. I have never heard of Coleman, but I completely agree with his argument. It's quite simple: By focusing on class rather than race, you are essentially still tending to the needs of the historically discriminated communities without all the justifiable blowback of race based policy. I do not know why that is so hard for some to understand. Focusing on commonality rather than differences yields a better society. But, you know what comes next... Those at the top do not want us working together. A divided nation is an easily led nation.

      The fact that those are the two analogs you remember most readily for that sort of thing says more about the sad state of our climate than it does anything. 2019 actually had a top tier warm and dry May and an averagish June followed by a reasonable if not mild summer. 2022 had a coolish and wettish May followed by an averagish June, after which we descended directly into summer hellfire and didn’t look back until November. They’re getting pretty ancient now, but a couple better examples of a classic cool and wet May/June would be 2010 and 2012.
