Good morning Explorers! I hope you all are doing well no matter where you all are in the world .
It is gray outside this morning, as I wake up with my coffee and speculate on what today might bring . Yesterday was a very hot day here ,100 degrees .I think even my A/C would agree as it had a hard time cooling my apartment . Today is supposed to get up there again and we are supposed to have light rain showers . Though the rain is most definitely welcome ,I know that it will be hot again afterwards. North Carolina is under a heat advisory from 11Am to 5 PM for today as well , as the heat index will be 102 to 105 . The affected areas are Cumberland ,Hoke ,Harnett, Johnston ,Samson ,Scotland ,Wake and Wayne Counties . Yep mine is included .
As we look at the tropics this morning , the area of interest is off Africa . ( AL 95 ) The Orange X . This tropical disturbance has increased it's odds of becoming a tropical storm ,now having a 40% possibility over the next 48 hours and a 70% chance over the next 7 days .If AL95 becomes a storm it's name will be Beryl . This disturbance is moving westward .
Our tropical disturbance ( AL 94 ) ,the yellow X is at 10% chance to form in the next 48 hours and a 30 % chance over the next 7 days .
As we look at the earthquakes for the last 12 hours , there has been many 2s,3s, and 4s. In the past 12 hours .There was a 5.2 in the New Britain region PNG . France Germany border had 2 small swarms of 13 earthquakes with the largest being a 4.2 at 8KM depth , 11 hours ago .It was about 47 miles away from the Alps Convergent boundary. This area where the earthquake hit appeared to have some houses in the area.
Two Swarm locations .
Area of the 4.2 with small town
The blue line is the Alps Convergent boundary
The 5.2 in the New Britain region PNG was 40 Km deep . This earthquake was away from the Australia Pacific Convergent Boundary ,the first blue line under the yellow pin .This area moves at 103 mm per year .As it is not next to any volcanoes, I believe it to be a plate boundary earthquake .New Britain is the largest Island in the Bismarck Archipelago .This island is the size of Taiwan .New Britain was formed by vulcanism and has active volcanoes .
In the last 10 hours EMSC shows that California has had 4 earthquakes ,size 2.6 ,3.0, 2.5 and 2.3 . The 3.0 Earthquake was between the San Gregorio fault zone (L) and the Rinconada 2011 CFM fault (R) . Looking at this area I don't see any houses but do see roads .
I was looking at a map of earthquakes this morning . There was a 2.1 explosion in Canada and a 1.1 explosion in Drain Oregon . I assumed there must be mines there? I have looked at the areas on google earth and seen trees in Canada 120.5 W 49.4 N , and what appears to be a road for Oregon 123.3 w 43.6 N . I did not see any mines . Makes me curious what exploded?
Ok all I hope you have enjoyed my update today . I am doing written updates this week .I will get back to videos this next week . I have a lot going on behind the scenes and am not wanting to complain about my life being unfair or so stressful to anyone . It is what it is . I will be here if something big happens . Much love everyone and have a great day wherever you are in the world ,morning ,noon or night !
