And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Depends on whether you want to be the guy who left 5 years too early, or the guy who tried to, 5 minutes too late.
Someday, something will definitely do you in.
But you gotta ask yourself, from the shadow of the pyroclastic flow, "Do I wanna be remembered for the next 500-1000 years as the plaster cast of that guy in the ash piles with the camera pressed to his face, pointing towards the former mountain crater?"
As far as I know no one lives forever, you're not going to get out alive (Bugs Bunny said that!) ... nature is everywhere... if not volcanoes or earthquakes it might be tornadoes or ice storms. Car wrecks & factory food abound in our society, they both take huge numbers every year. Enjoy the view, stay aware & remember that a real winter IS a regularly scheduled natural disaster.
no...no need to concern yourself with the readings. it's a non-issue if it was recorded on only the one site which would make it a sensor anomaly. probably some kids throwing rocks at the housing. on the other hand, I could be convinced to make a nice offer on your property if you feel constrained to leave soon.
Pretty much what capt.fast said. The seismic waves travel long distances and that looks like some ninny ran into it in his car and stuck in the fence and slewed around a bit banging the housing. OTOH, if the quakes show on all the senses and are trending you might think about visiting relatives in Idaho or Washington.
If it blows, you're toast.

Is the sensor on your side of the mountain or the far side? Which way do the 'brains' think it will blow?
ReplyDeleteIf that thing is pointed your way, get out. Get out now. Get out last week.
My first Ph. D. student used to work for the California State Water Board in Redding. He also had a view of Shasta.

That is some view too!
I have to admit I'm jealous when it comes to that view as well. BTW, condolences on the installation of Gabby Nuisance as Governor.
