Nuthin’ happening in Texas either, not even a hurricane (yet).

Looking at FEMA disaster declarations I see that Michigan did have a disaster declaration for hurricane Katrina. LOL

Other than that we’ve only had a couple dozen disaster declarations since the 1950s.

Looking at a graph is great, but it can be misleading.

Please feel free to opine on the graph. Except for the last column, which is projected for 2011, it's based on actual numbers from the USGS database.

I said nuthin’ happening in Texas but I was wrong (again). We are in a serious drought and we have wild fires all over but obozo won't even return Gov. Perry's call for assistance so....... I guess nuthing is happening in Texas.

We are in a serious drought and we have wild fires all over but obozo won't even return Gov. Perry's call for assistance so....

Makes you wonder how Texas would survive as an independent country.

Continue to beg the US for support?

We shall eagerly await your return home. Maybe we could throw a party. We used to do that more frequently. Glad you are not signing up again. God bless.

I am close to Hawthorne. I agree the net brings more stuff, not necessarily more data. The thing about that swarm is that for about two weeks every quake was 4.0+/- 0.2. Now they are running under 4. Can’t remember many swarms that tight.

In Kalifornia we used to joke about earthquake weather, Odd still cooler times usually. No science just human observation.

BTW how the heck are you?

In Kalifornia we used to joke about earthquake weather...

Oh, yeah...I remember my cousins in Orange County referring to "earthquake weather." Seems to me all of the quakes I experienced in Kalifornia were on cloudy or partially overcast days...

BTW how the heck are you?

Doing great - getting ready to come home soon and so looking forward to it.

How are things with you?

Life is good in the high desert. Spring is slow this year but it often is.

Vanuatu Islands?

I hope they are okay — I would hate for Algore to get the satisfaction of finally seeing them sink.
