Men in Black?I guess we'll know if he comes back and he's asked, "What about the SUVs?" and he says, "What SUVs?"

Wonder if little joe has invited all the presidential nominees over for a one HOT party! Bet they would boil with laughter!

Yaelle, have you ever considered the Black Hills? It is really beautiful here, and despite the reputation, the weather is quite nice. Rapid City is a vibrant small city, about 60,000, and (despite Daschle) VERY conservative! He pulls his support from the eastern part of South Dakota. Oh yes, we have trees, lots of trees. The Black Hills National Forest is here. SSShhhh, don't tell anyone else about our little paradise.

LittleJoe says: "
The water table has come up to seventy feet from ninety."
Well, that explains the lower pump current you reported in post #53.
I'm surrounded by 5 major earthquake faults and see unusual changes in water flow occasionally. A while back the river out front of my home lost half of its flow in 30 minutes. Within a couple of days we experienced a series of low level quakes (2's, 3's, etc.) and then the river returned to normal flow.
Without sounding like too much of a geek, I view your situation as a golden opportunity for a little science experiment. Record your ground water level and water temperature and plot it over time. If you don't have a convenient way to obtain water level, substitute pump pressure for that number.
Also record the earthquake info for your area. Don't depend on your "butt" to tell you when there's been an earthquake, go to this USGS site: Maps of Recent Earthquake Activity in California-Nevada. Their maps are updated real-time. Mark this info on your plot of water table level and temperature. I suspect you'll start to see a correlation between the data sets.
Would I worry? Hell no! Well at least not based on the info you provided so far, anyway.
Have fun with it! You're lucky to be part of this once in a lifetime opportunity!

Uh, if I were you I would make sure my insurance is up to date. I don't know about volcanoes and earthquakes but I have stayed at a Holiday Inn.
Think volcanos and earthquacks fall under the "act of God" clause of most policies. Get a rider quick.

What kind of thermometer are you using? Oral or rectal?

I believe the last virgin sighted in California was in 1963.
Well actually, they are a renewable resource, like trees. They may be scarce, but nature always manages to produce some new ones...
