Earthquake Thread ~ Always Updated

Good evening all! Haven't been on much - a few quick times to see what's going on. So much from all of you - new cars, storms, big moves, hot yard work, health issues... but everybody still around! I love coming here to see how everyone is!

Had a busy but blessed week! Grandson & fiance had their beautiful baby girl last Tuesday. Miss Sadie Grace has blessed us with her presence, and this great-grandma is grateful and proud!!! I took care of her last night while mom caught up on some sleep. I'd forgotten how hard those every-2-hour feedings are!!! But she's a good baby - not fussy or cranky (like me, being so sleepy!)

Simple, I understand about tomorrow. I have to work, too, but I almost don't mind. I work at a cemetery, and we spent several hours yesterday putting out American flags on the graves of veterans. Tomorrow we will be grilling hotdogs to give away to families coming to the cemetery, and at 3 we are having a program to recognize veterans that have passed in the last 12 months. So I kind of don't mind working. Kind of.

We are under heat warnings here. It was 105 today, and over the next 15 days, the lowest high forecast is 104. There are 5 days of 110 or 111, and even a 113!!! Pushing the AC to the max!! I worry about my family - they all work out in the oil field, so will be out in the heat every day.

Thank all of you for the current updates on everything - the EQs, volcano, flooding...all of it. Will add that the weather channel just said that the flooding around Baltimore was from rainstorms that were producing 5" of rain per hour. That's horrible!! And the storm in Oman produced 2 years' of rainfall in 24 hours! We need rain badly, but I'll pass on those kind of numbers!!!

sorry for the wall of text - but I'm about to go find my bed. Don't care that the sun isn't even down! This ole lady just can't do without her 8 - 9 hrs a night!!! I'd call it beauty sleep, but don't want to lie to you!! lol

I'll get back here in a day or two to check in! Hope all of you that have a holiday enjoy your holiday! And hope the catastrophic stuff slows down!!!

Much love to all of you! Have a good week!!

Gee, can ya tell hot, humid weather makes me cranky? I'll just be shutting up now...sheesh.

Good morning all !!
Prayers for NoahsDad and his broken ribs,
Isis with hearing loss, and continuing prayers for Simple's Mandy.
Congratulations to granny for a darling little Sadie to cuddle with,
and a nice set of wheels for Curious.
MOAR seeds today but I'm not going out there, too hot. Going to leave the rest of them to son when he gets back, with his gas blower.
Yes, there is definitely "something" the maple trees are trying to tell us about some future stresses they are perceiving. I brought one of the seeds indoors and put it on the kitchen sink window, to remind me of how with God all things are possible, even cleaning up seeds. The sonofabitch will probably sprout there all on its own.

All of you, have a wonderful Memorial Day; for any who are or who have been in the services,,,,THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE !

Wow, look at the size of this tree that was taken down during those overnight storms we had Saturday. Damn, that took some power to take that tree.

Tree smashes through home in University City
The tree crushed in the roof, shattered windows, crumbled bricks, and smashed two cars in the driveway.
