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 hosts, Sarah F Hathaway and Chen Gibson. Hello and welcome back to the Changing Earth Podcast. This is episode number 478. And as far as season goes, we'll just call it like season 18 episode one this is the first one of our monthly updates hey chin what's up chin's up 18 huh party yeah right so many seasons but i know we're on like 18 um so i missed you guys so much i had to get all podcasts under my belt. I get a text this week at HeyUID Podcast.

Yeah. I was like, I'm Jonesing. I gotta find out what's going on on our planet. I'm, it's crazy when we get there. Sarah was Jonesing for y'all. I was Jonesing for y'all. So, got some big news. So over on YouTube My podcast the changing earth podcast will go to my author Sarah halfway channel the channel that's been there forever

But we're now gonna have the changing earth series Channel over on YouTube. It'll be just the remastered audio drama. And then I'm doing a series of videos on like behind the scenes of changing earth. So like one of those is gonna happen a month. My first one was on the world. So I just walked through like the world

of my whole series of that. So, right? So if you haven't read the whole thing, there's some spoilers, you know, but I try to give you the heads up. I don't know when that happens, like significant things, but yeah, so we've been putting a lot of that together. We're gonna see how it goes.

We're gonna hit it up on YouTube and Rumble and just try and get some books sold so we can do some impressing and you know I have a guess I can leak a tiny bit there might be an interested producer so we just have to get sales numbers up and really make it make the series shine in the as far as the monetary end of things go as well. So I still have some Changer series my old covers still for sale guys You can get those for like I think I have like 60 bucks if you use the code Haleem So how many for all ten?

Yeah It's the cheapest ever like average. I know So I still have like four sets of those left. They're almost gone. But, yeah. So, if you're interested, get them while you can. Don't forget to use the coupon code. I mean, they're still pretty inexpensive over there, but the coupon code makes it stupid

cheat. So, that's the technical term too, stupid cheat. Stupid cheat, yeah. Yep. You learn that when you're talking to the agents. Yep. Yep. Well, all of those were supposed to go at Prepper Camp, you know, so I'm ready to roll

roll stock over and I've just got those few that are hanging out. So that's why you get a great deal on them. Ah, I got my prepper camp camping reservations all done for 2025. Guess where I was yesterday. You were at Orchard Lake. I was at the camp. The campground. They got so lucky. It's gorgeous.

We're blessed. When camper boo had to go, she was all excited about running around the campground. Oh, Amber Poo. She's like, yeah, my second home or to Lake Bay. Yeah, that's a good time. Yeah, I haven't found a spot to use her lines that you gave me for the audience. Oh, you know, in the end when I introduced Charlie and he's got the little dog. Yeah, there you go. I've got the lines for the little dog now. She was bossing around some Irish setters or golden retreat. I don't know. You know, the campground

dogs? Yeah. Yeah. So she was bossing him around she thought she I had to explain to her that they own the place Their property Visiting today, Miss Amber Poo Love it So prepper camp tickets are on sale It'll be another great year every year is a great year even when a hurricane hits Every year is a great year, even when a hurricane hits. Right. Hopefully we won't have any hurricanes this year and we'll be able to just have some fun

and teach them classes. That would be great. So speaking of North Carolina cleanup, looks like Trump might be making some actions over there as well. There's been some shakeups. What a relief for my part of the world to actually have the newly coming president, he, what, less than a week, he's been in office

and he flies out to see us on his way to Los Angeles. And he brought attention back to us because we're still, there's still communities in this part of the world that are struggling. Big time. Heck, we had a forest fire. Yeah. Yeah.

The old mill forest fire, 250 acres. And that was like an hour away from- Right, just what you need. Well, triangulating. Yeah. It was like an hour away. We were worried. I was starting to unload the pickup truck and made sure I had room to throw stuff in there Welcome to the wild world of wildfire evacuations

So we had floods to do it and then that yeah the people up there in that town Had to deal with floods and fire because that was a heavy hit region with the floods too. Yeah. Amazing. And now they have the fires coming right behind it. Yeah. Insanity. Yeah. Well, I was, uh, cause I'm, you know, obviously I work insurance in the state of California and luckily none of the homes that I insure are down in the burn zone. I had some close, homes that I insure are down in the burn zone. I had some close, but, uh, not, we didn't lose any homes from our particular office, right? But being on the kind of the more business side, well, I'm on both, right? Cause I represent the clients and I represent the business. I'm like the middle man. So, um, being able to see it though from the business point of view,

there we're talking about permits, just permits to be able to clear the pad taking like 18 months. Huh, maybe. Just to be able to get permitted to begin the rebuild process, taking 18 months to get that done. Which is actually pretty speedy for California government. Um, in reality. Yeah.

Cause there's been like people waiting for two years for permits to build a fence. You know, that's not, that's just the paperwork to say, okay, you could do it. That's nothing to do with lining up the work and the materials. Exactly. Cause that's going gonna be the hard part next is Yeah contractors and the materials one lady That was down there. She was in an interview It was gonna take her a year just to get she got to see her house, which did not get burned down But because they have the area shut down. It's gonna was, it was going to take her a year, just be able to get back into her house.

So in the meantime, like what that, the cost is to insurance companies to pay for the loss of use for all of those people. Oh yeah. Right. All the rent is you that they take up the rent. Yeah. Cause you know, we pay loss of use, which provides money for you for while you can't live in your home. So you're looking at, you know, I mean, it does expand out into a 36 month duration for being able to use that coverage when it's a catastrophic situation, because everything already takes longer. Everybody wants lumber. Everybody wants the builders. Everybody wants everything, right?

I mean, yeah, I ran into that on my house, you know, coming out of COVID is when I started building this one. And go to the local lumber yards trying to buy doors, buy windows, excuse me, windows. Windows were like eight to 12 months out. I had to drive to Atlanta and order them. I bought them from a guy that custom orders them from Germany and I got them quicker coming from Germany overseas than I could get it

from standard here in the States. Like one of the name brand window companies. Yeah. So this is the thing, you know, when you're in the catastrophic setting, everybody starts going for those companies. Yeah. So this is the thing, you know, when you're in the catastrophic setting, everybody starts going for those supplies. Yep. And so that naturally pushes that timeframe out anyway.

Now you put on top like all the California, just bureaucracy on top of that. So it was really, really promising to see Trump go down there and be like, Hey, we've got all the federal stuff taken care of on our own. So everybody knows if there's any delays, it's entirely on your shoulders. Yeah. We were talking the other day is, um, Trump's really in his element with this one, because as far as like dealing with issues to catastrophes, he was builder. Right.

Right. But he, that's, that's how he came up with his dad was, and then he was, so he understands making stuff happen out on a construction site. This is basically just a big construction site. So he really gets it. Well, they had the second biggest reservoir in the state empty. I mean, you get like, they have the California Fair Plan, which covers your wildfire risk for many of the homes and the foothills and whatnot.

It maxes out at like $3 million. But you get this huge discount if you have a fire hydrant within a thousand feet. What good is it if there's no water? Well, you still get the discount, right? Yeah, you do. That's there. I don't know if it's gonna work, but... Yeah. So that whole situation, you know, we could go into all kinds of...

Cause and things that were magically lost because of those fires. Or building plans for afterwards. Did you know Bill Gates bought Three Mile Island? The nuclear power company? Yeah. He's reopening Three Mile Island because they need the power for AI. They're using it for AI? Yeah.

Yeah. So, you know, nuclear energy bad unless you're an elitist Who can then open it back up for his company? Huh, and he's all got his fingers all in that, you know, 15 minute cities and that kind of thing. So Hopefully they can just Let it get rebuilt the way the property owners want that to happen rather than big business, you know And it was encouraging to see Trump actually come in and make that stand. Yeah Hey, like so I I do

You know like three people that actually went up there and Got to meet him and talk with him. And they're like, he is. He is so personable, like just talking with it, like standing there. Didn't mean on the line. There's one, but just talking to, they talk with these people. Like they were just normal people. People like the president, he didn't, it wasn't errors about him or anything. He, he wanted to hear what was going on he asked him specifically like how was FEMA treating you that kind of stuff yeah and um

well that was one of the biggest things that i heard of that he was doing is like let's get FEMA out of here and give them money to you know some Americans person people who are actually making the difference it wasn't one of those like shake hands and, you know, hug babies kind of tour. Right. It was, she was out talking to people and seeing what was. Get info so we can get things done for our people. Did you see his wife? Oh, and her outfit.

Yeah. She had the jet. She looked like she was ready to go out hiking and grab an axe and start cleaning up. Right? Yeah. She was awesome. Very classy. She's a classy.

Yeah, she is a class act. Especially when she was a kid. Yeah, she wasn't walking around with heels that didn't fit in the scene. Right? Yeah, that's true. She kind of like come down the stilettos. That's like my, we're going to roast a pig story in the country. And I told all the city girls not to wear them heels, man.

Here they come. I'm like, well, you're going to have to sit inside all day now. I don't have enough boots for everybody. I told you not to wear them. So I had an interesting question cause I gave the, um, prepper broadcasting community the heads up that we were going to do. On element? Yeah, on element. You gotta be on element.

Gotta, yep, gotta still be on element. I know lots going on, rumble, Twitter, all this stuff, all this fancies we got these days, but I'm still most loyal to everybody over on element because they've been here with the long haul So he has an active group over there on element. Yeah, it's good to watch. Yep. I like to peruse through there I don't comment on very much, but I do like to so anyhow, um KC

Brought up this really cool article about predicting earthquakes in advance by radio digital short waves stations, which, counter write up your alley there buddy. Yeah, I had some thoughts about it. Yeah, so the biggest relevance that I have to it is it's a hundred percent right on. Ben Davison, it's not suspicious observers anymore. It's now Space Weather News. He changed the name of the channel. But he's got his earthquake playlist and he was researching this kind of thing like seven years ago. And it's 100% true. They're able to see because of these changes in the ionosphere when major earthquakes are about to go.

They picked up the signs before the one in Turkey, that was the big one, and pretty much any of the major ones, they are picking up these changes within the ionosphere, which can be measured through radio frequencies. So I think it's a great idea, especially with what I'm going to bring to you. So if you're interested for more information on that process and kind of like the roots of where it began, Ben's not so much into it now basically because he's like, yeah, we figured it out.

We know how to predict earthquakes. But his work is really fascinating on it. So Casey, I would recommend you go over there and check that out because they are actually getting to a point where we can pretty accurately predict earthquakes and volcanic eruptions as well. So that's a pretty cool day for planet Earth and the human species on top of it when we can do that. The other guy that I really watch for earthquake forecasting and whatnot is DutchSense. And he's just not as active as he used to be because he's had a lot of

negative attention from our government. Hmm, interesting, right? So but he has theories about when the deep earthquakes hit and then the seismic waves that travel off of those and he's pretty darn right on with his predictions For where earthquakes will travel to you So it would be kind of cool to hook up like the two fields of knowledge Where he could say, you know where you think one's coming here and then we can monitor it with the radio Frequencies and see if we couldn't pick it up. So they're doing a lot of really really

fascinating stuff in that field right now, which is cool because earthquakes are pretty devastational and can just come out of the blue, you know. So I thought that was a great question. Thank you so much for asking it. I'm gonna have to get Chin measuring out. You're in the wrong space kind of for earthquakes. I'm gonna have to get chin measuring out. You're in the wrong space kind of for earthquakes. That's fine with me. Floods and fires is more than enough. Right?

South Carolina gets quite a few though. And there has been some activity up north, which is kind of alarming, but you are in a pretty good space when it comes to it, even if the Madrid, new Madrid went. Which is kind of alarming. But you are in a pretty good space when it comes to it. Even if the Madrid, new Madrid went. So, yeah, good pick. Good pick.

We had some in Texas. But we're doing all that fracking, you know, so that doesn't help. Well, on the home front, it's all about my chicken coop. I'm going big. I'm expanding more. I'm all in on my chickens. I've always raised chickens. I do it well. I am trying to figure out a self-sustainable process between the chicken and the greenhouse. I really love Rick's concepts from his livestock books on being able to grow sprouts and whatnot. And then do the mealworms and see if I couldn't produce their feed and half of the chickens so that I never have to buy food out, which would be a perfect little sustainable food supply in a disaster scenario

Except chickens are allowed You know people are gonna come for chickens, yeah but If you can do it with ducks, maybe but ducks just don't lay as reliably as chickens Yeah, they don't they take like a few months off. Well, my chickens have been too lazy little birds. So, I mean, it's been too cold or something. But no, we're expanding that whole process and.

I'm not going with any of the fancy, like, you know, move it around type things, but I will have like multiple outdoor. Yeah, the chicken tractors We're just too urban for it So I know space Yeah, and if I did it would be like out in her front yard, you know like so But I'm somewhere out here driving around

like It's a major road the road into town and you look off to the side there's chicken tractor Right I've seen the whole warehouse is the whole warehouse moves now like big Poop house and the whole thing moves like a little bit every day Yeah, it was pretty cool. It's good to be the lead chicken. Yeah, no, kind of back. He never gets any fresh.

Fair. Fair. Yeah, they're all lined up. Well, let me up front. Here we go. So, yeah, that's been the big homestead push, because, you know, Springs around the corner, especially here in Texas, we got to get like things. All our seeds and stuff started now in February because it comes so early and then gets too hot.

And then we have season number two. This is really weird down here. So probably everybody in the Midwest is like, what are you talking about spring for already? It's so cold up here. They're still looking at their seed catalogs. I know. So I'm sorry. I used to live up there, too.

I know how it is. But. But yeah, that's kind of my thought process, so it's about about springtime. Got to get plants in. Got to make sure we're ready for chicks, that kind of thing. So what are you up to? Working on a house still. I don't think I'll ever stop working on that freaking house.

No, you won't. That's when you self-build. Split and firewood. Did what I was at Orchard Lake because I was teaching a class on radios and mesh tactics, so All kinds of stuff Yeah, been bad. You're just gonna have to smack me around again next time you see me. I have no time

I thought I retired, you know get a text I Figured a monthly update would be nice I thought I retired, but you know get a text. Can you do one? I figured a monthly update would be nice You know, there's just so much that's happening on our planet. I was like, of course I take a hiatus and This hundred year storm rolls in Europe got hit hard both the UK and Europe. I mean, let's jump into it. We'll jump, we'll just start going down changing earth lane. Food storage and preservation are at the heart of Self-Reliance.

So last we were on, we did actually did earthquake numbers for the beginning of January. And, um, so I'm going back like four weeks now.

We had a 6.1 earthquake in the South Atlantic Ocean by the South Sandwich Island. Last podcast we did, right? 456 earthquakes. And remember, I know it's been a month, but 456 is a pretty serious number per one day. So we had thousands being evacuated in Ethiopia as a dormant volcano woke up. We had the East African rift just going off in that area. It has quieted down now, but they are, you know, scientists are predicting that in a

million years, it will be its own island because they're so convinced that everything takes a million years. So, it's eyes on that area, is all I'm saying. That is going to be something really, really interesting. That'll probably go a long way in our lifetime, I'm thinking. Big story is Australia this last month. I gotta get on the horn with Ellen and be like, what the heck are you doing over there? Because four weeks ago during that week there was three earthquakes in New South Wales within 30 hours, 2.6 being the largest of them so they're starting to rock and roll a little bit and then we had this mega storm go and hit the UK

Manchester got absolutely just flooding nightmare winds were like crazy and that's that's just one of the many that rolled in this past month so then we're jumping to like the ninth. I'm not gonna do every day because that would just be way too tedious. But third three weeks ago from today January 9th 513 earthquakes in one day. I mean, 400 is a lot. We're up to five. We did have a big coronal hole on the sun. Something I didn't talk about. So during January, we had a big coronal hole. When the coronal holes come, they line up with the earth. They cause earthquake activity, but we didn't have a lot of sunspots. They are starting to wake up now.

We had like an end class this morning that was a pretty good one that's not directed at us. But as far as like solar activity goes, it was all about the chrome hole. So it does kind of make sense that we see this really big uptake in earthquake activity. But I always have my eyes on it because you know what's my story about? What does God tell us is coming? Very quick. So 513 earthquakes, biggest 5.8 in El Salvador. There was a during that week there was a 7.1 in Tibet on the Tibetan Nepal border Over a hundred people killed with the earthquake activity in the landslides that happened. So that was right on the China India border there

So you can Tim foil hat that one up, but it is right on a fault line, you know, so There was a 3.7 off the California coast by San Francisco, so we've seen that activity. Because like I was saying even before we took the break, the Ring of Fire is going crazy. And none of the volcanoes on the west coast of the United States doing anything, but the ring of fire going insane. So when would it come around and actually affect us, right? So we're starting to see some of that. UK had more massive flooding. They've just been having these giant storms come through and Mecca in Saudi Arabia got just pummeled with flooding.

The roads looked like they were like a river. Like why would you park your car in that river? in Saudi Arabia got just pummeled with flooding. The roads looked like they were like a river. Like why would you park your car in that river, right? So just a lot of abnormal rain for the desert. Melbourne, Australia, a half a month of rain in a half hour. They called it the summer soaking. I was like, oh, that's an understatement. And that's the week that the massive winter storm impacted the United States. So if you're well, it was even cold in Texas.

United States. So if you're... wow, it was even cold in Texas. So pretty much wherever you were, except for the west coast, was just frigidly cold. Kansas, massive traffic issues, accidents, there was just hundreds of accidents all across the United States. Several people killed from the across the United States. Several people killed from the traffic incidences. However, they were predicting the huge draw on the grid was going to cause massive power outages across the United States. And I'm sure that some areas did lose power momentarily, maybe for a couple days. But I didn't hear the news about you know Widespread outages like when we had the Texas snow to get in four years ago, so All in all I think we did pretty good through it. Did you ever get snow over there? Yeah, we got Two maybe three inches, okay, because I know what garden girl is

West of me and she got snow at her place. We never got any snow this year Skip right over. I mean they were saying 10 inches all this stuff, but Right. I think they over predicted in a little bit. Hmm, however Was it two weeks ago? I'm looking through it out. Um, yeah, two weeks ago, southern United States got absolutely destroyed. Oh, yeah, Phil. Yeah, Phil got it.

Yeah. It was snowing on the Gulf of America. Do you like that? It was snowing in the Gulf of America. Do you like that? It was snowing in the Gulf of America. And Florida got like 7 inches in Florida. This is just crazy time. Um, so... I can't explain it, but I guess it happened like a hundred years ago. So we're having, again, all these things that are like,

oh, the 100 year event, the thousand year event, you know, every other week. That's why I had to come back out and do the show. I was like, I gotta tell everybody what's going on here. So I picked the 16th to check earthquake numbers. Still at 491. 5.1 in Vanatu was the biggest hit. And Vanatu usually takes deep into the sea.

Central Virginia, three small earthquakes. Biggest was the 2.8. 5.8 hit the Philippines. So we have that earthquake that was off coast of California in week 3. Week 2 we have 166 aftershocks in San Francisco. I'm just hoping that it's releasing enough pressure to keep this status quo. But I'm very... Well, I found an article talking about the Long Valley caldera again, right below Mammoth, the super volcano that like nobody knows about. They keep trying to tell people about is there. And we just

magically get those wildfires in that area. We just get a ton of earthquakes. Two thousand earthquakes in the last three years have happened around and they're increasing at the Long Valley caldera. So, you know, I'm still got my eyes on that West Coast. It's just really, really confusing to me why we're not seeing the activity there. So either it's being released beforehand or it's building. Which I hope it's being released beforehand or it's building. Which I hope it's being released beforehand.

I've got too many friends over there. Right? Too many good people. A little venting now and again instead of a big. Right. Kaboom is money. Okay, so Indonesia, deadly flooding landslides occurring down there. I don't think that the people in Indonesia ever get a break from the Change in Earth news for me mentioned. So prayers go down to everybody who live on that island.

Storm Eowyn rips off a roof in Scotland and Eowyn did some damage across Europe. That was just the beginning of it. We'll get into that in our current week. I'm gonna try and say this word. Cyclone... Dickel-D? That's what they called it. D-I-K-E-L-E-D-I. Dickel-D? That's what they called it. D-I-K-E-L-E-D-I. Dickel-D.

Impacts Mozambique. Um, they, the coast of Africa, the west coast of Africa has just been getting hit after hit after hit after hit with cyclones and Madagascar is just always in the way so Madagascar has been getting really really messed up with the cyclones it's um it's kind of like the Caribbean Islands take you know the hurricanes that are coming in at the United States except sometimes these cyclones like get stuck in between Madagascar and Africa and just bounce back and forth as they go south. So, it's been really really bad over there. They could definitely use some prayers. Cyclone Sean was, I believe, their first cyclone to come through this year. And it impacted Australia. Two people unfortunately passed away in that event.

Southern US was impacted by the snowstorm. Western Australia, so you get the cyclone hitting and you have a huge dust storm also in the Polaroid region. So they've like I say, Australia has just been in the news a ton too. Pecos, Texas, there was a massive dust storm there. They had a big pile up accident because of the dust storm that rolled through. Then we're into the 23rd and the 31st. This is just last week. 532 earthquakes on the 23rd. 5.6 in the South Pacific Ocean and Vanuatu was the biggest so it's just

been rocking and rolling I mean when I started looking at numbers I was like I gotta get a show out um you know you just don't find the stuff and with the amount of like downloading that Trump's been doing just just the whirlwind that he's brought in. I mean, the media is just not talking about any of this stuff. Like that was a big earthquake over in Nepal. Did you hear about that at all? Yeah, right. I think so. Yeah. But, you know, way back when we heard about the one in Turkey

because there wasn't as much like up in the media deck. Right. So when there's just too much going on, they just backburner all of this information that's going on. You just don't know like how crazy it's getting on our planet. So there was a 3.8 earthquake off the coast of New England. The tremors were felt all the way from Boston to Maine. That's all the North American Crayton moving, which is problematic because we know about the new Madrid quake and what that would mean kind of the heartland there. And if you don't, you should look it up. There was a 5.7 earthquake that hit Taiwan and earthquakes were just the aftershocks were just continuous after that like they didn't stop and

so Believe they have at this time, but it was really really scary a few days for them 4.5 earthquake hit fall City, Texas. That's West, Texas So say Apollo Brazil, they had two months worth of rainfall in two hours Extreme flooding going on there Last year in their weather cycle. They had a bunch of rain come in massive amounts of flooding day after day after day They were always on the changing earth news

Um, so now they're back into it And uh, it's a big growing area. Big problems. Flooding in Hawaii due to a winter storm they came there. Flash flooding in Malibu, California. California yes needs the rain but they don't need mudslides in those burden areas. They'll just delay things even worse. Western France was hit by storm Herminia. And Western France got just completely flooded. I mean, just rain events on a scale we haven't... I don't know.

We haven't seen, like I say, everyone's like, oh it's the hundred years, it's the thousand years. Well, we are definitely in whatever that time period is. We're setting some records. In Malaysia, like I was telling you about with the cyclones, so people's cars, their homes are destroyed. The crocodiles came in in the floodwaters. It's like floodwaters aren't bad enough. Now you got crocodiles.

Yeah. That happens here in Texas. The alligators end up in weird places when it floods. So Western Victoria in Australia, they were having somemoving wildfires and Kilauea is going off 120 foot lava and this ongoing eruption so really spectacular pictures coming out of Kilauea you know that one erupts a lot but it's definitely doing it again so right now today is February 2nd, chin, 655 earthquakes, 2.0 today. Wait, you told me 400 was a big number.

Yeah. 400 was a big number. Right. When I looked at it, I was just like, what? Six hundred and fifty five biggest five point one in Chile. And Dutch Sense was like, yeah, we're definitely expecting earthquake activity to uptake. There was like a big, deep earthquake over in Syria where they don't usually get deep quakes.

So the activity that can come off of that one is just going to be well worth watching and preparing for and being careful, especially if you're over in that area. Evacuations in northern Queensland as flooding conditions intensify, it's really getting very serious over there. So they've already had one confirmed dead in that flooding event. So prayers go out to everybody being impacted there in northern Queensland. I know that's not where Ellen is, so she'll be like, oh, it's up there where all the rivers are, whatever, you know. So prayers for everybody there. OK, our volcano numbers, you know, here we go. Drum roll, right? Volcano numbers. Okay, our volcano numbers, you know, here we go, drum roll, right? Drrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr That is the same today, 38 erupting actively. There was 37 showing minor activity.

Today there are 38 showing minor activity. And there's 24 showing unrest, which is the same as two weeks ago. So you can do the math. That is 100 volcanoes on our planet in some kind of active state right now. Cappy flagrace still up there. Uh, Pele is still up there. Lasuvius is not up there, but, um, just insane. I, I'm still mind blown because like mid twenties used to be like, whoa.

Um, so yeah, that, that number is still pushing right now. That's why I say we got to watch the West Coast. Earthquake overall, because this will be fun since we're doing like a monthly update. Earthquake in January, 17,538 earthquakes that were 2.0 or bigger. We're gonna have to watch that number because I just, I've never really looked at it before because we always did the weekly show.

And so there was one 7-pointer, six 6-points, 147 that were 5.0 or bigger. But I was looking at February, and just for the two the two days was already at like a thousand So if you did a thousand every day, you know, that'd be 28,000 or if you did like 600 every day Well now I'm getting into harder math But I would still we would still be on track to be a much bigger number than that January total so Gonna be interesting interesting little February here As far as wildfires prepared this level one. We have four new large fires 68,000 550 acres on fire three contained The Palisades fire is officially contained.

Number one state reporting is California still. They have one fire, 23,448 acres burning and they have two fires that are contained. The what's on fire now is this hill where not a lot of people live and stuff. So that's that's better and better news than a whole neighborhood. Number two state is Virginia reporting. So interesting that we had earthquakes and stuff there. Now we have wildfire there. Just, you know, kind of interesting. One fire, 555 acres. Three is Oklahoma.

One fire to 523 acres. Three is Oklahoma. One fire to 523 acres. And then your North Carolina fire. You guys are at 120 acres. That was up on the report for today. So they're probably rounding up on your news channel. 150 acres. But yeah, when I saw the area that was in I was like really Come on yeah, that's like that's like poor JB. She never gets a break
