I still vividly remember the New Madrid Earthquake prediction of 1990. I was 10, and it was an absolutely crazy few days. Don't know if the earthquake hysteria ever made it to Iowa.
30 Years Later: Remembering Iben Browning’s False New Madrid Earthquake Prediction
Thirty years ago, Iben Browning, a self-proclaimed climatologist, predicted that the St. Louis area was in for a major earthquake along the New Madrid Seismic Zone. He forecast that it would happen right around Dec. 3, 1990, sparking a media frenzy in the small town of New Madrid, Missouri, and...

Forgive me as I don't think I've ever finished a piece of fiction in my life but I think it's called arctic noir or nordic noir or something like that. I think Hillary is supposed to be there this year, all I know is that nobody's going to bitch at me for shaking the block with the full stack this weekend.
I ordered cheese dip with my burrito at the taco truck today in case we get blowed up. Either way something is exploding tonight.

If you really want to experience the steaming caldera, try this stuff. I've been working my way through several jars. I don't recommend more than 2 or so tablespoons at a time:
Nah I’m waiting on @goldmom steaming caldera. My fiancé will have to approve and I’ll put up photos of myself in a banana hammock if we’re all dead anyway.If you really want to experience the steaming caldera, try this stuff.

We went to Mount Ranier in Washington a couple years ago (I know, we actually stayed a few nights in Seattle and lived) and that is an active volcano. While we were there (maybe always for all I know( it was smoking and smoldering. It is a kind of strange feeling. That was when I first realized my dear no pic daughter was trying to do me in was when she told us she had a "nice moderate 2 mile hike" and it turned out to be 2 miles straight up and maybe moderate if you are under 45.
Not yet. It is only 3:30 though, there is still time. Wrong thread for my only volcano story?

Yeah, Iceland is erupting today. At some point the resulting melting will be blamed on carbon emissions instead of volcanic activity. It's definitely climate change, but a different cause.
I’m just a regular old geologist and not a volcanologist, so I might be slightly off here, but my understanding is that volcanic eruptions and volumetric gas releases are rather steady over the last few centuries. It’s just that we observe them more frequently as our tech increases.
Kind of odd that it would be responsible for the warming we’ve seen lately huh?
Uh, that would be a no go ride for me. Cool pics though.
According to Al Gore years and years of spray paint and hairspray caused this to happen.
We are doomed if the 80's big hair craze returns!
