On a more serious subject, has anyone heard about the underwater volcano erupting off the Oregon coast — I_S, you notice anything? Some are saying it may be a sign of the next big, “Ring of Fire” movement. Just checking to see what’s going on, if anything.
We had a series of earthquakes here one week ago. The strongest was 4.2. Quakes are fairly rare up here in the northern Rockies but not unheard of. My wife felt the house shake and our oldest dog got a bit antsy.

Scientists confirm submarine volcanic eruption 300 miles off the coast of Washington State – massive ‘quiet’ lava burst
April 2015 – SEATTLE – More than 80 scientists from around the world gathered in Seattle last week to discuss a thrilling development: For the first time, seafloor instruments were providing a real-time look at the most active, submarine volcano off the Northwest coast — and all signs indicated it might erupt soon. But even the researchers most closely monitoring Axial Seamount were stunned by what happened next. Beginning Thursday, April 23 — the day after the workshop ended — the new sensors recorded 8,000 small earthquakes in a 24-hour period. The volcano’s caldera, which had been swelling rapidly from an influx of magma, collapsed like a deflated balloon. “All the alarm bells were going off,” said Oregon State University volcanologist Bill Chadwick, who along with a colleague predicted last year that the volcano would erupt in 2015. “It was very exciting.”
I think the first quake happened here about 10:30pm on the 23rd.

All these harbingers of disaster, but none of them ever pay off. It’s really starting to piss me off.

Fukushima not good enough for you? Possible extinction-level event and a combination of man-made (nuclear meltdown/radiation release ongoing) and natural disaster (tsunami). Doesn’t get much worse than that.

Another clueless Doomer strikes out, and he didn’t even go down swinging because he just blabbered unsubstantiated bullshit. Eat this, Rise Up, it’s your CALLED third strike.
“To keep the matter in perspective, the entire release of radioactivity (from Fukushima) into the sea will add less than 0.01% to the background radiation.” Does that sound like anything even close to an extinction-level event? Can you spell no?
The U.S. Geological Survey says an earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 4.0 hit at 2:13 p.m. Sunday. That quake was later downgraded to a 3.6 by the USGS. It was centered a mile south of Concord, along the Concord fault.
A series of smaller quakes shook the area in the moments before and after the larger one. A magnitude 2.5 earthquake hit at 2:01 p.m., followed by the 3.6 at 2:13, and a 2.7 magnitude quake at 2:14 p.m. A magnitude 2.4 shook the area again at 2:28 p.m. A magnitude 1.6 hit at 2:56 p.m.
In Southern California, a magnitude of 3.9 hit the Los Angeles area at 4:07 a.m. Sunday. That quake was centered a mile northwest of the View Park-Windsor Hills neighborhood, just north of the cities of Inglewood and Culver City. A magnitude-3.5 earthquake hit that same area on April 12.
Funny.
