I'm Sorry, I Need To Make An Update
April 18-- I'm sorry. If you don't mind I need to update an entry from last week. I was listing the various elements of our wretched St.Louis weather smorgasbord, which were....
"Snow, ice, hail, freezing rain, regular rain, thunderstorms, thunder snows, sub zero wind chills, plus 100 degree heat indexes, unbearable humidity, 100 mph winds, tornados, floods....."
However in my state of mental distress I left out EARTHQUAKES.
Ok, ok, Mr. Science. Earthquakes may not officially be weather related, but they certainly deserve a spot in the St. Louis environmental crap hall-of-fame.
Last night as we were snuggled in bed waiting with eager anticipation for the gray skies and more rain promised for today, the whole damn house started shaking. It was an Earthquake! I mean, come ON! Can this city EVER stop topping itself?
There will be some of you that will say, "Well, beautiful Southern California gets earthquakes," and you'd be right--they do. But, I briefly lived in Southern California and while they did have earthquakes, they DIDN'T have....
"Snow, ice, hail, freezing rain, regular rain, thunderstorms, thunder snows, sub zero wind chills, plus 100 degree heat indexes, unbearable humidity, 100 mph winds, tornados, floods!
I just don't see why St.Louis has to be such a total pig when it comes to doom and gloom. A friend of mine says that it's all a sign of the Apocalypse. I said no, it's just another day in St.Louis.
Until Next Time, I Hope You Survive Another Day In The Gray.

You're right, earthquakes should be considered as part of our weather-like phenomenon. Although earthquakes are part of the lithosphere instead of the atmosphere, there are other non-atmospheric events included in our weather communications. i.e. tides, and uh... ok, I was gonna say UV and smog alerts but that's atmospheric so all I got is tides.
Anyway, until they become predictable they aren't going to be merged with the daily TV meteorology reports so you might as well wear a helmet all day.
