It's suppose to be in the 90's today. UGH! Warmest day of the year for us so far.....TFH!

An active day today? Some pretty sizable ones in the last 3hrs. Also take note they did downgrade that quake scale; so wouldn't these be larger on the old scale?

good morning

Despite weakening, Blanca continues to set hurricane records and unleash flooding rain on Mexico's Baja California peninsula.
Blanca set its second tropical record in the eastern Pacific Basin on Monday. As a tropical storm, Blanca made landfall near Puerto Cortes, Mexico, early Monday morning. That marks the earliest landfall of a tropical cyclone on the Baja California peninsula.
The previous earliest landfall on the Baja California peninsula was Calvin from 1993, according to the National Hurricane Center. Reliable records have been kept for the eastern Pacific Basin since 1971.

6/08/2015 — MOUNT SINABUNG ERUPTS — LAKE TOBA SUPERVOLCANO NOW STEAMING +EMITTING FOUL ODORS OF GAS

Western Indonesia’s Mount Sinabung has been placed on high alert for what is being called a “mega-eruption” for several km/miles around the volcano.

Video reports coming out from the region show ash, steam, and eruptive blasts currently occurring.

In addition to the large eruption at Mount Sinabung, we now have other reports that the nearby Toba supervolcano is showing large emissions of steam (from the ground), as well as foul smelling gas.

According to reports from Indonesian press, locals are alarmed by these recent developments.

________

Toba supervolcano is indeed a “super-volcano” by all measurements. Actually LARGER in eruptive power to the other more well known “Yellowstone” super volcano (located in Wyoming / United States).

Worthy to note, the Toba caldera produced the worlds largest eruption in the past 2 million years, and has not showed eruptive signs in over 75,000 years.

From Oregon state University:

“Toba caldera produced the largest eruption in the last 2 million years. The caldera is 18 x 60 miles (30 by 100 km) and has a total relief of 5,100 feet (1700 m).

hopefully Mt. Toba stays quiet. A lot of volcanos are stirring or erupting this year, I find it quiet significant or am I mistaken?

thar she blows

You're not mistaken. : )
