106F about an hour ago here. Been that temperature all last week. Lieing sack of poop weatherpeople said we were supposed to get a break this weekend. I'd like to break them. Sheesh.
I can't even work in the garage. The yard is starting to look like Grand Canyon. The house foundation is about to slide into the abyss created from lack of rain. We can't water anymore due to restrictions.

I keep looking at northern Alaska drooling.

Ripstorn, go ahead and kick me while I am down. Paybacks are a biznatch.

That's snow up on top of Rainier Skuzzy, 1 hour away if you want to play in the snow.

It has rained in 31 straight days or nights here, half the state is flooded. They even had to evacuate a whole town at one point. refugees from Katrina are going back to Louisiana where it is dry.

I want to go riding!!!! My horse is going BARN SOUR.

Gotta love the monsoon season in the DRY country.

I thought you were being awfully smug for a fella with a volcano close enough to vaporize the lake you're in, but hey...here in Arkansas we're on one of the biggest fault lines in the country & it doesn't move very often, so when it does *clang* We also have a little volcanic activity in Hot Springs; thermal vents I think they call them, the volcano hasn't done anything in thousands of years.

So at least you're enjoying a good climate before you get it; I feel like a sucker for ever leaving Gresham Oregon sometimes. The northwest is a great place.

Is Arkansas part of the New Madrid system too, or a different one? I remember about 15 years back feeling a quake from Southern IL all the way up in North Central IL.

I think the weather people here sya that stuff to give us some kind of hope skuzzy.
i gotta crawl around in attics part of the day but ussually i try to get my attic work done in the early morning.
What kind of restrictons you got in your area skuzzy? im in garland and we still get to water twice a week. i know alot of other cities close by can only water 1 day a week becouse they get their water from lake lavon. We get ours from ray hubbard and its in better shape than most of the smaller lakes around

I remember that 15 year ago quake, thought it was 4.7 or something close to that area.

I hope im far away whenever the New Madrid fault cracks open. They are predicting the next big one is due anytime now and it to have a magnitude of 8 or more. What makes it worse is the way the soil system is around the Mississippi river, something that has to do with the way earthquake waves travel. Supposedly the waves pass through easier and therefore the magnitude and energy takes longer to dissipate, equaling more widespread damage. We been having smaller quakes pretty frequently, around the area of 1.5. Hopefully it is slowwly releasing the pressure so it wont build up, but I doubt were that lucky.

Several days ago ESDA and the emergency services of the areas did a mock earthquake disaster in this part of the state. The last big drill they did, the simulated over 60% of the highways impassable/destroyed which effectively shutdown the entire southern half of the state. And being a volunteer FF and 2 blocks from the station, I will be one of the first ones to be on the frontline of the disaster.

When the fault goes, all of us down here are royally screwed and thats no joke.

i think skuzzy should ban rip for an undetermined amount of time, maybe till a nice bone chilling winter sets in where he lives or after the volcano blows or something of that nature.
