Last time was around 12,800 years ago Which would explain why the ancients built massive underground cities around 12,800 years ago.

Thanks for the Torino Scale. I’d not seen that before, but I saved it off for future reference.

hang on until the fall of 2030 when the Earth will pass through the densest part of the Taurid stream. Last time was around 12,800 years ago and ushered in the Younger Dryas Period - colder than the Ice Ages. Ah, you say throw another log on the fire. Thanks for the info. Good to know that my 401K only has to last me until 2030. Maybe I can buy that diesel motorhome after all.
