The Shed 5

Like Martin and others have said. That was so sad and so, so stupid. A "cold" bison... (Sigh!) The weather is relatively warm in YS now. Bison calves are born in April-May, simply because it's the earliest safe time for them to make their start in life and get nice and strong before the next winter.

Lucky those ignorant tourists didn't try "helping" a grizzly bear cub! If they did, we'd probably be reading about them in the news for quite another reason.

That is indeed sad about the poor bison!

Oh, just noticed the link Kat. I have never ever been in an earthquake, that would really freak me out!

Swarm of what? What'd I miss?

There is a earthquake swarm at Mt Hood.

earthquake.usgs.gov...

a reply to: crappiekat

We posted at the same time. LOL


I swear the link wasn't in your first post when I read it, then I saw it there. This place always was haunted or spooky or my computer just likes playing tricks on me.

I have felt and heard earthquakes, when I lived in Illinios.

Small ones. But it still is a startling things.

Yea. ATS has been acting wonky today.

a reply to: JustMike

Yes. Folks like that should not be allowed out in public unsupervised.

Very sad that they had to put down the calf.

We have hurricanes, but nothing devastating around here. No tornados, no earthquakes. Pretty safe. I would move if I lived anywhere we those things were a normal occurrence.

I sure know now!

Hi crappiekat,

no, I didn't know about that swarm. Just had a look at the seismo in Olivine's post there. I don't see any obvious signs of harmonic tremor, so I'd say they're fault related (tectonic) rather than volcanic (magmatic) in origin. I seem to recall some swarms there in the past and they never came to anything. All the same, worth keeping an eye on.

Hurricanes scare me. I would not want to live near a coast.

Sounds like this years Atlantic Hurricane season is forecasted to be mild.

weather.com...

Your about an hour away from the coast?

Have you ever had to be concerned about tidal surge flooding?

I felt my first earthquake maybe 6 or 7 months ago? Australia doesn't get many. To be completely honest, I didn't even know it was an earthquake!!! I just thought a really big truck had driven by and rattled my windows LOL.

And then my partner goes to me: "Umm, I think that was an earthquake"
And I was all: "Really???........"
*checks the internets*
"Oh wow, Bundaberg had one, apparently it was felt all the way to Brisbane." (about 400km)

-insert some jokes about he was actually right for a change-

He's from New Zealand though.. he would know what one felt like

Mike, I always loved your avatar!!!!!!!

Kat, I love yours too, but he is always laughing at me. Or is he growling? Hmmm...

That is a decription that I have read from many people.

You don't need earthquakes. You have enough to deal with, with all those creepy critters you keep down there.

a reply to: kaelci

Things are seriously always shaking here. Little shakes all the time. Scary. I am waiting to wake up in the ocean one morning. Thinking about getting a life raft for my bed.

I would pull the cord and my bed would float so I could get some sleep!

a reply to: Quantum12

I wouldn't worry about falling in the ocean.

If the big one comes, you will be where Seattle is.

Hurricanes around here are not that bad. I am at least an hour away from any ocean, so no we never have to worry about tidal waves. Over here in Rhode Island in my area, we may see some old trees come down, an old building damaged maybe, but rarely ever anything serious like you see elsewhere.

Hi Kaelci, I see you snuck up on me!

Oh, Q snuck up on me too. LOL, a life raft for a bed!

I like Seattle, it can drop me off at the Farmers market, they have fresh fish and other fresh food!

I'm ok, just freaked out over my weight.

Hmmm... How many feet above sea level are you? I wouldn't be concerned about California falling into the ocean (because that is not going to happen!), but if there is a big jolt up on the Cascadia Subduction Zone like they last had in January of 1700, you could even get a smallish tsunami down your way. Say, a few feet. Up in the PNW, it could cumulate up to 100 feet in places. Kind of like they had in Japan in March 2011.
