Tornado Record Broken in April



"294 April tornadoes in the U.S."

"Old record - 267 tornadoes in 1974.""

"on average entire month of April sees "only" 163 tornadoes."

"We exceeded that average just in the first half of the month!"

"Over 5200 severe weather reports (tornadoes, hail, and high winds/wind damage) so far in April."

"On average, only about 3300 severe weather reports are tallied in an entire April nationwide."

Calm Before the Storm...


The New Madrid Fault has calmed down the past week. That's would be reassuring if it didn't mean something worse was coming. The analysis from the video states that everywhere in the world is rumbling right now. Everywhere except the New Madrid Fault. When active areas in and around the USA begin to calm down, the New Madrid Fault will begin the shake hardcore.

We have the Giant, 2.4 million (or more?) participant, shake down drill coming up soon. So, I see the window for disaster being between May and the end of November. Novemer begining the 200th anniversary of the huge 1811 quakes.

Triangle of Life

The triangle of life refers to the triangular voids created from debris when a building collapses during an earthquake or really any other natural disaster. The idea is basically to get beside a table, not under it. Get beside furniture. Don't get in a doorway or near stairs. Both can collapse on you. If your in a city, get beside your car, not in it. This increases your chances for survival according to the linked study below.

I'm not giving advice. I'm just saying what I'm going to do. Consult a professional before making any decisions or planning about you and/or your families survival.
