8.8 Quake hits Chile

There was a 9.5(or so) in Chile around 1960 and the effects from that Tsunami were felt in California and all the way across the Pacific in the Phillipines and other spots.

Giant snowflakes coming almost straight down, looks like a major snow coming… Continue reading Snowed In???

Some odd’s and ends A new link, on the WCI Links page: Joseph Hillenmeyer is writing a really fine blog about life, work, sites, plants, and observations about the profession we both share.
