https://www.usgs.gov/faqs/can-a-large-earthquake-trigger-earthquakes-distant-locations-or-other-faults?qt-news_science_products=0#qt-news_science_products Earthquakes, particularly large ones, can trigger other earthquakes in more distant locations though a process known as dynamic stress transfer/triggering. This means that the energy from the seismic wave passing through can cause a new earthquake, usually in vulnerable locations prone to frequent earthquakes (e.g., volcanic regions).

Early this morning there was a 8.2 mag earthquake SW of Kodiak island, Alaska (as most here are probably aware). I am watching the Yellowstone area very closely for signs of movement. There have been earthquake swarms around Yellowstone in recent months and I believe that energy from an earthquake in one area can transfer to other areas... https://www.idahostatesman.com/news/nation-world/national/article252835908.html

I'm sure whoever posted this will be fired as it doesn't fit in with "the narrative"...

Stunning. That 60° low on the 10th must've felt wonderful for those folks.

It's super bad here today. Ugh. Seems like there's fires everywhere now. North Idaho desperately needs rain..

Some people evidently think fire is a relatively recent phenomenon. I thought it's been around since at least the Paleozoic era...?

A stricter adherence to the scientific method could put a halt to the lunacy...

Not what I said, but whatever...

I'll admit even though I'm originally from the area, I haven't spent too much time west of the Cascades since 2018, other than a week in Renton last summer. But I still feel these type of things should be taken account of in scientific manner rather than random observations. We literally have inmates running the asylum proclaiming we need to start riding bikes, stop eating beef and eat more Cicadas and pay carbon taxes to the IMF, based on what exactly?

Maybe there was some stress caused by the heat. I'd hesitate in referring to it as 'damage' unless you've picked out certain trees before the heat wave to monitor the before and after effects... Let's be scientific about this instead of haphazardly throwing around blanket statements about trees you didn't specifically monitor before the heat wave. Sorry if this sounds anal, but I think things like this can get us into a whole heap of trouble if we don't cross our t's and dot our i's...

I'm not sure what species of Maple those are, they may not be native, we should probably stick to measuring the effects of the heat wave with native species...

Shhhh! This comment may not fit so well with 'the narrative'!

92° and a little humid, down from 93° an hour ago here in Cascade, Idaho. Thunderheads over the mountains east of me and a smoky haze from fires in NorCal I'm assuming.

Nope, doesn't fit the narrative.
