Focus in the Crazy, February Changing Earth News

[00:00:05] Welcome back to the Changing Earth Podcast with author Sarah F. Hathaway and co-host Chen Gibson. Blending survival fiction and fact to bring you entertaining education that will help you dream, survive, and thrive. And now, here's your host, Sarah F. Hathaway and Chen Gibson. Hello and welcome back to the Changing Earth Podcast.

[00:00:32] This is episode number 479, I think. This is the March show. And so we're doing a monthly, monthly update. Oh my gosh, there's so much Changing Earth news. So, hey Chen, what's up? Chen's up, y'all. Oh my goodness. So good, like our green room, we just like sit around and talk forever before we even, oh, we gotta start the show.

[00:01:00] Oh yeah, I know, I was like, we gotta actually do this or we're just gonna have a couple hours of recorded combo going on here. So, lots of catch up to do when I don't get to see your blue room. It's always good, yeah. We were texting stuff all week long, but it's good to talk to you. It is, it's always good. It's always so much better. Yep. So, wow, like we were saying, there's just, there's just too much. Uh, wow. I mean, I'm just floored.

[00:01:28] We could go all day on political stuff and goodness knows we could. And I'm sure it's been the conversation around many tables of the audience. Um, so, today we're gonna do a show on staying focused. On your family, on your to-do items, like, wow. You could just do something. Because I was, I was so focused, I went to a meeting a week early.

[00:01:58] Whoops. Yep, that's what happens. So much going on, you know. Oh, I just don't even know. So, um, I struggle a lot with that, because I just have so many hats on during the day. Yeah. So. Um, let's do a little Change the Earth catch-up. Uh, season one is, the remix is airing. If you haven't checked it out, it's pretty darn cool. Brought it up to snuff.

[00:02:27] If you haven't subscribed to the new YouTube channel, Changing-Earth, please do so. We're, uh, that one has the potential to be monetized, and really get us the push we need to get the project to Hollywood. So, if you haven't subscribed to it, please go over there to YouTube, Changing-Earth, and check it out, subscribe, and then you'll get all the new episodes as they're uploaded. I tend to do, like, the premiere and stuff for them every week.

[00:02:58] Um, also, if you've read my stuff, please head on over to Amazon, drop me a review, that would be great. Again, we're trying to get the pushes there, so that everybody knows how great the Changing Earth series is, and we can get some, uh, investors to invest in the series and getting into the TV, uh, series. So, if you head on over to Amazon, drop me a review, that would be great. If you've heard my books, you've read my books,

[00:03:26] um, I really appreciate everybody who goes and takes time to do that. It makes just a huge difference in the long run on all the sales numbers and things like that over at Amazon, so please do that. Um, last on the list, I would always talk about Prepper Camp tickets. Prepper Camp tickets are available, they're ready now, but we do have a wildfire over in that area. So, guys, uh, we're gonna need your prayers that, that is quickly put out.

[00:03:55] Those people have been through enough, not, you know, specifically the Orchard Lake campground, but that surrounding area has been through a lot, and, uh, definitely don't need a wildfire ripping through the area, so, um, please pray for... It's up to, like, five, six hundred acres, something like that, so... Yeah. They had a grip on it, I saw that, because they didn't even make the weekly numbers, uh, this week, surprisingly enough, uh, Nebraska... The Carolinas are starting to light up.

[00:04:24] Yes, they are. Which is weird, so let's just, um, everybody say some prayers. It's my gut feeling that there's some underground stuff going on, and wait till you see these earthquake numbers and what's going on with our planet, so everybody just stay really vigilant. Um, wildfires used to be something that, like, oh, well, maybe if you're, you know, in Texas, or you're in California, you gotta worry about the wildfires, Montana, that kind of thing, but, oh, that's not gonna happen here.

[00:04:55] Hey, man, things are happening everywhere, so make sure you have your go-bag ready, make sure you're practicing the five-minute evacuation. Five minutes goes by really fast, especially when you're standing there staring at your house, being like, what am I gonna take with me? Okay, well, you better know what you're taking with you way before that moment ever comes. So just a tiny bit of practice with your family goes a long way, long way.

[00:05:24] I know, because I've been through there multiple times, and we, the five minutes hard, it's hard mark to hit, well, once you practice it a couple times, it's actually not that tough. You'll know where everything is, and just, and then now. But that would be my recommendation. Um, I'm probably too slack where I'm at. A little bit too comfy here. Yeah. So, I know, you know, but I, I've got some, some stuff spread around now that would have to be gathered and,

[00:05:54] and whatnot. So, I'm, I'm just as much to blame as everybody else. So, make sure you guys figure out that five minutes. Five minutes out. Grab your important stuff, as far as your paperwork, uh, titles, house, uh, deed, if you have it. Um, any kind of insurance documents, your birth certificates, this should all be in the same area where you can grab it easy and go with your, with your go bags, your guns, every, all your stuff.

[00:06:24] Okay, so there's my rant. Say some prayers. Say some rant. Yeah. Say some prayers. Alright, so let's get into staying focused on, home. Right? Yeah. We have so many distractions right now. Yeah. It's a five-dimensional chess game going on, on every level of anything

[00:06:52] right now. And, uh, I feel like everybody's just been holding their breath. Right? I don't know. It went from being positive to a lot of positive to now we're like, come on. Right. Let's just start seeing some fruit from this. There's a lot of blockades up.

[00:07:23] Yeah. And they're really trying hard to make, um, you know, Trump and Vance look like idiots. So, that's my opinion on that one. But, um, you know, my faith is gonna lie with the, with the Lord first. And then, um, but this, the way they're rapid firing all this change, it really does require some faith in the man that we voted for as well. And that's tough.

[00:07:53] We've been hurt. We're, I would call, we have some serious PTSD going on in the United States for, as far as trust goes on both sides, you know? Nobody really can trust anybody and right now, um, things are just going too fast to keep a grip on it. So it does require a little bit of faith in the people that we elected to actually get the job done and follow through. So I'll see. Well, and there's, we're so, our culture is so used

[00:08:23] to wanting that instant gratification. Yes. So, you know, like we're, you know, we fought the battle, we got the election, we won. And now we want to, you know, see all the spoils, but, uh, it's still continuous battle every day. Yeah. And they're just, I think the reason why they're doing so much like that is because, um, they, there's not, you know, everything that every move that they make is litigated. Um,

[00:08:53] there's blockades up against them. There's the deep corruption within the government that's trying to block them. It's entrenched. Right. So if they can just like, I always had the analogy, like there's so many snowballs rolling down the hill that even if you were the best person in the world and you could stop one of those snowballs and be like, yeah, we stopped the snowball. Well, there's like 80 other snowballs rolling down the hill at the same time. Right. What was that crazy TV show that

[00:09:23] it was like the obstacle course that they had all those different like, Oh, um, MXC, I think. Oh my goodness. And you were like trying to jump over stuff and not fall in the pool and all this stuff. It's yeah. And they had the American Gladiators too. Yeah, that was good. Yeah. Yeah. That's what I'm saying. It's like, it's like, it's a gauntlet. It's almost like Trump brought in that whole cabinet so he could start pushing every single snowball at once. So that Yeah, exactly. Yeah,

[00:09:52] absolutely has to work. He can't do onesies because they'll just swat it away. Right. He has to keep them on their defense because the minute the machine takes over, it's so much harder to Yeah, Yeah, exactly. So I still have faith there. Um, you know, I've never been like 100% in on Trump, but I do like the things he says. I do respect the way he came out of being shot.

[00:10:21] I do respect the fact that he's never drank alcohol, never done drugs, and he's never been in like, you know, those just really nasty type of situations that we're seeing nowadays. So, um, I tend to respect his moral values more, which I guess gives me that trust and gives me a little bit of faith that he is really pushing for the right reasons. I just have to believe that. Anybody who's said the same thing,

[00:10:51] um, since I was one years old, you know, that I don't want to be president, but if it gets bad enough that I have to, then I will, you know, and now we're there. It kind of reminds me of the founding fathers where, I mean, they gave up, you know, personal fortunes like Musk and Trump. I mean, they'd have been better off not to get involved in the political scene. Absolutely. And work, work everything from the back offices and back, you know,

[00:11:21] the boardrooms and the cigar. And once you enter that right, you know, um, there's just so much pressure on top of that, you know, of everything. Everybody criticizes you, every little move you make, step you take, movement you make, you know. Um, I had shared that video of the, uh, Trump-Zelinski interview that, Oh, yeah. Right. they, they analyzed all those, the body language

[00:11:50] from it. And by the end of it, you're just like, Oh yeah, this guy came in with a completely different agenda, not ready to listen, not planning to do anything he had told them previously. And so when you, you know, when you watch it on that, you can see what's happening, but they spin it every which way. There's so much information to try to digest to make your own opinions. Yes. Yeah.

[00:12:21] So, so many distractions, right? And beyond that, um, I thought the balance, the idea of talking about balance with your family and whatnot was great because, um, without all this political stuff going on, without all the stresses from our planet going on, you know, full-time job and I have a family and there's still, you know, cooking and laundry and repairs, right? Everything that happens in the season and everything else, um,

[00:12:51] dedication to prayer, gotta make time for God every day. That's gotta be a priority. I'm also an author producer, so I'm producing shows, writing scripts, doing all this stuff at the same time. Plus, I practice MMA and train my body about five days a week, have the small homesteads, and I like to sleep. No, you don't. Yeah. You can't prove that by me. Yeah, that says the one that was up at four

[00:13:21] o'clock in the morning when woke up this morning. Oh, you're just catching up with me. I just can't sleep all night anymore. Oh, I was just up all night long. Yeah. Yeah. So, um, but I slept a little this morning. So, I would like to kind of think of myself as somebody who knows what it's like to juggle. And I have been, I have been, made myself so busy before, and I say it specifically that way. I have made

[00:13:50] myself so busy, right? With my goals, my dreams, my bullshit, me, me, me, and passing my husband in the hallway like we don't even know each other anymore, you know, and tapping out of my kids' lives, lives, that, um, I can tell you, it is important to find that balance, or else you're going to lose everything. Everything. So, that's really, really, important. So, I did some

[00:14:20] rules. Number one on my rules was hard work, God first. If you don't make time for the Lord, studying His Word, He's not going to make time for you, then you would much rather walk in His blessings than not. So, I do all this stuff. How do I fit in time for prayer, right? I really like the, um, Halo app. Oh, yeah.

[00:14:50] The Bible in a Year, um, Father Mike is awesome. So, when I'm doing my morning walks, I listen to a half hour of a Bible read. Yep. And it's awesome. And, uh, it, you know, I just listen to it all. I, I think I'm going on my third year again. So, like, I've already listened to it one year, two years. Now I'm going on my third, right? Yeah, I did one of those audio Bible readings a few years ago. Yeah. You know, you just get so much out of it. You get to hear the Word.

[00:15:20] Father Mike's great. He does great analyseses and really, um, just teaches you how to live and think in the Word and be there. The other thing that my family does is after we eat, we read from the Bible. That's good. Yeah. So we'll read like, uh, one section of Daniel. We're just finishing up Daniel and a psalm or something like that, you know? so, and everybody in the family reads it and then we can talk about it, reflect together.

[00:15:51] Christian's always into studying, you know, uh, oh, well, it wasn't the Romans or this or that because he's into the wars and whatnot. So it's a great way to not only have God in your life but also make your family a part of it together. And then, of course, if you have a church that you love to go to, you know, church on Sunday, that kind of thing. I just haven't found our fit here in Texas. Yeah.

[00:16:20] It's a challenge. It is. It is. I grew up in a really small town church and I haven't found that since. It's just. I grew up Roman Catholic so I do like the, um, Lutheran is very much the same but not Catholic. And so I do like the ceremony of that service and a lot of times out here it just feels like, um, what band do you like the best? Yeah,

[00:16:50] that's what I haven't. It's. Like, I didn't come to hear a band. Yeah. I came to the music and it's cool but it's, it, I feel like it's too much, um, slash. Yes. Yeah, one had lights going and everything I was like, oh boy, you know, we're out. So, okay, number two on my list is remember without your

[00:17:19] support network, you're nothing. So, you just heard what I do during the day. Yeah. And if I didn't have Brock behind me, um, you know, he's just a great father and really cares about the boys and what's happening in their life and helps making dinner and with laundry and everything, we're a team, we're 100% a team. And if I

[00:17:49] didn't have that and my boys behind me, there's no way I could do what I do at all. So, the minute that you get so busy that you don't take time to say thank you and you don't take time to listen to their day and find out what's going on with them and really connect with them, and like when you ask them questions, actually listening to their response and caring about how their day went, not just like thinking about what you have to do next.

[00:18:21] That's a bad moment and that's the moment you're either growing together or you're growing apart with every relationship in your life. So, the minute you start growing apart, if that's somebody you don't want to grow apart from, you better figure out how to grow together again. I think that's some of the value of doing the daily Bible study, read, prayer, whatever. Having that quiet time, yeah. It brings

[00:18:50] on a lot more, instead of all the distractions pounding through your head, bouncing around. Right. Like a ping pong. It's not like, oh, let's scarf down dinner so we can get to the next thing. Yeah. And you're trying to juggle three things. But when you're actually just reading out the Bible or thinking about the verse, it slows you down and it lets you start concentrating. Right. And that's why the Lord gave us the Sabbath,

[00:19:20] because we weren't made to be slaves. And we weren't made to work seven days a week. So we just have to keep in mind that there is a point to that rest. And you deserve that rest. And that's something that's hard for me. So, because I would just go, go, go. Everyone has ups and downs in their life. And if

[00:19:50] you're not there for them when they need you, they're not going to be there for you either. So, choose who you care about and be there for them. Make sacrifices. It's important. We like to believe that we're like, oh, it's all about me. It's the me show in America. No. Once you have a family, you have a spouse, you have a serious responsibility to that person. And you're going to need to make some sacrifices. And so are they. And that's what it's all about.

[00:20:21] Okay, number three on my list is don't lose track of yourself. Right? You got to take care of you too. You can't just be like running from everything to everywhere, which is one of the reasons why we went to monthly podcasts because I was just trying to do too much all at once. So make sure you're engaging in activities that better yourself. So obviously I'm an exercise freak. I love working out. I love staying self

[00:20:51] defense ready. I'm never going to be a victim ever. I don't care how old I get. I'm going to keep training because I love being able to teach elderly people that yeah, you can still defend yourself. You know, you're good. At least you can die trying, you know. But also, if you're not really into exercise and you're like, this is really not my gig, then learn, learn, learn. learn. Teach yourself a new skill. Do something,

[00:21:20] paint, you know, do something for you that you always wanted to do that takes you to that meditative space. And maybe it is meditating. But for me, working out, you know, I'm not thinking about anything else. So much. But yeah, I think we need to get to times when we just focus on a project or

[00:21:49] a event item as opposed to trying to handle so many things at once. Yeah. So you can like stay in that space. It sounds counterproductive because you feel like you have to get all this stuff done. But it thinking if you say, okay, Monday is going to be the day that I work in whatever, the yard,

[00:22:19] then you got to work in the yard on Monday. And you get it done as opposed to only getting a tenth of the yard done and then bounce around something else. And then that zaps your mental energy as well because you get home, you walk into the house and you see all this stuff that isn't done. Right. And it just pulls that energy right out of you. And it's like it's just so overwhelming and then everything else is so overwhelming. Yeah. Yeah.

[00:22:49] This winter was cold, cold, cold and we had planned to be a lot further along on our new chicken coop build out, but we're getting there. It's going to be sick when it's done. I'll put up some photos and stuff. We're getting there. We got the pad all done because out here, okay, so a little bit of a squirrel. Look at our episode on focus and I'm squirreling. But you know how we talk about things that you've done, like gardening, that you've done in one area when you move, it's different, right? Well,

[00:23:19] even with raising chickens, out here, there's so many fire ants. Right. And like one of my chickens was killed because of fire ants. Because like once the ants find out that there's like food source there, you're giving them scraps all the time, then you're attracting ants in. And then also the mice out here like burrow under the ground and they will create these holes right by the chicken feeders and everything. So, and the chickens will kill them,

[00:23:49] but you know, they're not always sitting right by the feeder or whatever. So what we're doing is we're doing all concrete pad for their like living area without, they'll be able to go to grassy area, you know, when we let them outside. But that way we can hose it down, the ants can't get to them, it's easier to control, you can't, you know, mice don't dig up there. So it's an investment to get that pad done. But in the long run, the chickens will be healthier

[00:24:18] for it because they're not under threat so much. So we had to do that before we went any further with adding more birds to the flock and whatnot. So we're getting close now. And it's going to be cool. It's going to be cool. But there you go. Like, you got to be ready to adapt and change when you're in a new area to the new threats, to the new environment. And boy, are we going to need a lot of that.

[00:24:49] Changing Earth news is, woo, buddy. Thank goodness. Mm-hmm. Jesus. Okay. A couple more notes I want to make. So rule number four, the more you do, the more you do, the more you do, the more you do. Right? See a pattern. Yes. My mom used to tell me the more you read, the more you read, the more you read, the more you read. Right? And it's true. Like the more you read, the better you get at it. And everything was the same thing with what you do.

[00:25:19] If you spend 15 minutes a day on a skill by the end of a month, you are going to be really close to being a master at it. Just 15 minutes a day. It's incredible. So there is time to do everything that you want to trust on that one. But make sure you're balanced. Make sure you're balancing things and not losing focus on what's really, really important. So you need a game plan and you need to stay out of

[00:25:48] the scrolling. Yeah, I think the game plan is crucial. You can't just like the end or through the day. Right. It won't be official. Yeah. I have this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this. I'm just like, oh, it's all in my mind. I write lists and I have notebooks. And so what's on the list for today? Boom, boom, boom. Once I get those things taken care of, then I can work on something I actually want to work on. Usually my audio drama. Or spending time

[00:26:18] with my family. So the other, my last note is a quote from the chosen. Matthew says, um, with all this noise that's going on, it's nice to know that I only have to do one thing. Wake up and follow him. Having Jesus in your life will calm your mind and give you focus and give you direction and give you, um, take down your anxiety levels and your

[00:26:47] fear because you can trust that, you know, you're on the plane with Jesus at the wheel. You're in the car with Jesus at the wheel. You can trust that he's there driving your car along and all you got to do is make sure you're doing your part to navigate, you know, your, your one task to move the whole thing forward. Yeah. Alrighty. You ready for changing earth news?

[00:27:17] I got my seatbelt on. Oh, right. You better be. Captain has turned on the fancy seatbelt. Sorry. Yeah. Hang on for this word. You're listening to PBN. Your path back the stability here. Food storage and preservation are at the heart of self-reliance.

[00:28:51] like CME activity. Just some little storms. um i've been hearing more and more stuff that they've actually found life on mars that like they've known about it for a while there's lichens and stuff up there so um i think that's we're gonna be doing some really cool stuff with space at the end of my lifetime here so excited about

[00:29:12] that okay february 1st to the 8th so listen to some of these earthquake numbers on the first there was 528 so if you recollect 400 is a lot of 2.0 or more per day 400 is a lot 528 on the first

[00:29:36] second 735 on the third 840 and on the fourth 842 okay insanity of it's crazy i've just never seen you know how long i've been doing this um it's just really that's not the worst um brazil has been

[00:35:10] big big damage to our planet um 5.2 was the most powerful quake so far and so they evacuated that whole island it's a huge tourist attraction but there's actually this volcanic um field just north of santorini that could also be um some of the earthquakes are coming from there as well so it could be like all new earth uh all new volcanic eruptions as well which would be crazy

[00:35:39] um but there's definitely something happening over here then campy flagray is also over there another big volcano that could do a lot of damage been making a lot of noise so it's definitely eyes on that region still on the 6th we also had violent storms that hit tennessee two tornadoes came in two people died um others were injured in that incident that was an ef2 and an ef1 that came in

[00:36:06] ef1 also hit kentucky did a lot of property damage over there so then in japan we're talking complete standstill due to the snow accumulation in the central part of japan one person dead 28 others injured because you just it's just so much snow you can't do anything so then uh flooding in northern

[00:36:31] iran thousands of people evacuated there as the rivers breached the banks canada had this multi-vehicle pile up because of this huge snowstorm that hit quebec one person died 11 people injured indonesia is always getting socked they had unusual tidal waves come in 13 foot waves coming in off the

[00:36:55] ocean into their city and rain caused even more flooding there along with those tidal waves in bolivia they had heavy rain as well 23 people have died there since november completely flooded 332 homes gone thousands of people evacuated it's like you can see the pattern these uh unusual

[00:37:20] rainstorms are just just everywhere now in china because of the rain they had a large landslide in in sheshuan province one person dead 28 missing 10 homes destroyed two people were saved out of that rubble but now like so much time has passed they're really doubtful that they're going to be able to rescue anybody else out of there so prayers for the family who lost you know their people there

[00:37:50] northern iran they now have a heavy snowfall that comes in northern northern russia also had one but like iran i would think iran would be much more less likely to get this huge snowstorm than russia severe blizzard 62 mile an hour winds zero visibility there in russia and then a 7.6 earthquake at the cayman island the cayman islands have been making more noise as late and that's kind of an unusual

[00:38:19] earthquake spot we don't usually see a whole lot down there so all right so the ninth let's get back to our earthquake numbers ninth 668 earthquakes 10th 791 the 11th

[00:38:39] 1215 earthquakes that were 2.0 or bigger that is insanity the 12th same thing one 11 126 earthquakes that were 2.0 or bigger and then on the 13th is there like a record of how many i don't know i don't know what the record is that's a really good question i've never seen numbers like

[00:39:07] this like ever 13th 914 so like yeah we had this massive coronal hole and yeah there wasn't a lot of like really big ones uh you know above a 6.0 but that was rocking let's see uh philippines severe flooding

[00:39:31] five people died when their vehicle swept away hundreds of hectares of cornfields destroyed over there major um agricultural damage um two people dead again in brazil and iran they had a huge pile up accident nine people were injured there because of the low temps the snow and icy roads

[00:39:56] peru their rainy season because it is rainy season down there hit hard crops homes damaged um two people died in that last storm that came through there and then in chile like on the other side of the mountains right intense heat 107 degrees fahrenheit um they had these huge wildfires go off multiple across the country in the central area there one person did die 14 people were arrested in connection with those

[00:40:26] fires so somebody's actually out there setting some of those fires which is sickly yeah um in australia new south wales victoria flooding 21 rescued which last we heard you know they were burning now they're flooding um brazil hits again we had ef1 near pensapola in florida which left a trail of destruction

[00:40:50] injured three people there spain southeastern spain tornado super unusual to happen in spain um got a tornado there um in indonesia the the island barley island flooded they had 3.2 feet of water so they had to be evacuated italy etna erupts in argentina

[00:41:17] central western argentina so this is kind of over by chile um 618 000 acres on fire two people dead hundreds of homes destroyed worst fires in the last three decades affecting two national parks it's going to take over 200 years to recover the forest um that's being burned by these

[00:41:41] wildfires so that's that's horrible um the andes mountains also have a lot of lithium in them so you have to wonder you know i hate to wonder but you do have to wonder uh 7.9 inches of rain in october ontario along with 37 mile an hour winds in back to the united states in mississippi they had a big tornado come through

[00:42:11] um it harmed businesses homes no deaths then on the 13th in italy 2.5 inches of rain in one hour in alba island flooded homes then we have the atmospheric river line up with southern california not good at all uh because now that

[00:42:34] everything was burned out now you're looking at landslides so they had that all come through big mess down in southern california plus their homeless population uh there is you know it gets a little moist so i'm sure i'd love to be on that street it's just gross um on the 14th we had a

[00:43:03] 1034 earthquakes that were 2.0 or bigger um northeastern australia they had cyclone zelia hit 132 mile an hour wind so that is cap four um equivalent um but in cyclone so spike cyclone spins backwards from what a hurricane does um great northern highway had to close down and that cut

[00:43:28] off supplies to some areas because of that tropical cyclone and catalina in greece two days of rain 5.9 inches um just massive flooding through more people dead two people died 30 injured because this bridge collapsed because of all the flooding and two miners were killed in a landslide there

[00:43:52] uh uruguay here's a new one on our list from the 15th violent 93 mile an hour golf ball size hail 34 000 acres of crops damaged in that storm in uruguay uh sweden intense snowstorm they had a 95 car pile up 100 people injured two people severely japan or uh china also had a big uh like 100 car pile up

[00:44:20] because visibility just got so low and people just kept coming over this hill and running into the pile everybody um you back to the united states southeastern united states got hammered by the storm 700 000 people out of power from new york to alabama little spots along the way hundreds of highways

[00:44:43] closed 17 people dead in that storm one person in georgia one in west virginia 15 people in kentucky in 24 hours there was one month of rain that came down in that system so you can see i'm really kind of concerned about fort peck dam up north um i i mean i talk about this all the time but with the amount of earthquake ramp up that we're having and then the amount of these unusual rain

[00:45:11] storms that if fort peck went i mean the whole central breadbasket of the united states is in trouble so uh hopefully we get some of our money redirected at our own infrastructure right um in quebec 38 inches highest total in history since 1941

[00:45:34] um not 30 yeah 38 inches highest total since 1941 they just had two major storms come in so quickly that's what made it so unusual with 56 mile an hour winds up there uh the rio grande in brazil they have 62 mile an hour winds down there hail hundreds of businesses and homes just damaged in that hill storm and then in the united states this isn't really a natural one

[00:46:02] but in detroit um did you see the pictures of detroit when they have it like this this water pipe exploded yeah and then it just freezes because it's so cold it's like 90 people had to be rescued out of there and their homes should have just uninhabitable because that was filled with water that is frozen it's like that movie what was it 2012 or so what was that movie where there's like

[00:46:27] that instant freeze oh day after tomorrow yeah okay yeah yeah i love that one um but yeah it's just like that it was crazy um they say it was just old infrastructure 925 earthquakes on the 17th the numbers are still up there um still continue to be up there uh there was a rare tornado down in

[00:46:51] south africa northern chile they had heavy rainfall with flooding up there so again you're looking at the situation where it's like 107 in central chile and they've got all these wildfires going and just up north of that there's all this flooding happening you know we've seen this over and over and over again just the extremes are more and more amplified um botswana they had heavy rain widespread flooding

[00:47:20] flash flooding killed seven the dams are literally overflowing um madagascar they had a severe storm there 11 people dead um south africa got hit again this is southeastern africa nine people lost their lives in that flooding incident they had 7.2 inches of rain in eight hours major infrastructure damage

[00:47:46] ecuador back on the flooding list northern turkey that intense snow in istanbul but they you know they have the mountainous area there um so i mean that's not so unusual 21st 22nd 23rd we're still looking at numbers 895 761 712 at least they're coming back down um more snow falling in japan and um but the

[00:48:14] temperatures are expected to rise uh 22 people killed in the kentucky flooding south africa wildfires in cape town table mountain national park they have 148 acres there not huge but it is one of their big national parks there on the 27th 600 earthquakes are 2.0 or bigger um afghanistan they had 39 people

[00:48:40] lose their lives in hail and flash flooding incident there and then the 28th six people died in durban that's in um kwazulu natal from flooding india they had flash flooding causing damage and there was a 6.1 earthquake in nepal as well and then up in northern japan they start having the largest wildfire they've

[00:49:04] had in 30 years right so again you look huge snow incident and then wildfires going on like right there and then we had everything that's going on in the carolinas um as far as wildfires nebraska is actually burning pretty bad right now they have two big fires going it's 50 000 acres on fire there nebraska um not contained at all we're almost that's probably at 51 000 right now um florida has a good

[00:49:33] wildfire going on uh 1350 acres and then alabama's number three on the list with two wildfires at 1100 acres so a lot more states on the wildfire list than i would expect to see but most everything's in that you know 600 acre range um including north carolina right now so for all february we had 24 501

[00:50:03] earthquakes that were 2.0 or bigger that's a 71 percent increase from last month that is a whole lot i i i i really was expecting not not to see that um so anyway as far as volcanoes erupting

[00:50:27] well we had 38 erupting last month we still have 38 erupting okay that sounds good right yeah minor activity 40 showing minor activity that's up to from last week so did they come out of the

[00:50:45] unrest category no unrest category also went up by 20 or by 2 to 26 so we have 104 volcanoes volcanoes on our planet showing activity right now which is way higher than i've ever seen before um and given all the earthquake activity that we just had i would expect to see more pretty quick so

[00:51:13] uh it's gonna be interesting right it's always the planet against the people which one's gonna right the people stabilize a little bit mother nature's like yeah here hold my beer just insane those are crazy numbers i've never seen like a thousand uh in a day

[00:51:41] that coronal hole was pretty massive i would not be surprised if it was on like the same days i don't line them up when i'm researching but i won't be surprised if it was because that coronal hole was like it was like the sun was like eating itself or something it was like the whole center of it so but nothing like you know that's gonna make big news like the earthquake in turkey or you know

[00:52:10] something of that nature so i guess that's the bonus that would be the last thing they need in southern california right now wouldn't that just be right just drop the curtain show's over yep ah i got your hollywood pun there

[00:52:41] so yeah it's uh it's really getting interesting out there we'll just have to one more month and we'll be back and we'll get to see what it what it did but that's my prediction for the month i think we're gonna see even more volcanic activity honestly um it hasn't stopped it's been up for like what at least probably six months how long have i been like

[00:53:06] whoa probably six months i would say of it being up that high i'll have to go back and check my notes but that's a lot search for your notes when you said the average is 400 because right after that yeah it's true we're like on the average you know if we see like 405 on the one but yeah and now we've got

[00:53:36] 1100 yeah honestly uh because i watched another program too to get some of my news and she was reporting the earthquake numbers and so i went and double checked all of the earthquake numbers and i was just like whoa no way that's what the volcanic um observatory is reporting too huh this is like oh where are you getting your information from you know
