    That is not how that works.

    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...

    As for the general warm summer trend lately....this stuff is cyclical.  There is strong evidence of terrible Western droughts that lasted for centuries in the not too distant past.  The climate is constantly changing and did so all on its own before man had any possible effect on it.

    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?

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

    Do you even go around our area and see what we’re seeing? There’s obvious vegetation and tree damage to native and non native vegetation. many people have posted about it. How about you come and see for yourself before just shrugging it off. You are literally over in Idaho you have no idea what you’re talking about 😂.

    What narrative? There’s literal tree damage across the area worse in some spots than others…we don’t know what the long term effects will be yet. 

    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...

    These ones here don’t look too good. They were healthy about a week ago. We got off pretty easy compared to other areas with the heat forsure.

    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...

    I just took a burnt hemlock branch and shook it and it turned from brown to normal green in a matter of seconds as all the brown needles feel off exposing green needles underneath.   That has to be a good sign.   If we get a decent wind... much of the visible tree damage might disappear.  

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

    The 12Z GFS is worst case scenario starting next weekend.   It brings back offshore flow and ridiculous heat again.  I sure hope it's up to its usually tricks of over-amplifying in the mid and long range. 

    How in the hell is it possible to see this in the models again?

    Brutal.  Yeah I think you guys don't need anymore of that...
