These whispy blue skies certainly seem less and less serene as time passes.. I don't know if they're inspiring or uninspiring, but they sure are compellingly hypnotic.
I think it's an eye of the beholder kind of afternoon.
Some of my followers might be familiar with @RealDutchsinse . He is the earthquake forecasting guy- not in the sense of some spiritual premonition that one is coming, but he observers patterns in their propagation. Deep ones precede shallower ones. There are preferred propagation paths- typically along plate boundaries or along the edge of the NA Craton. These paths have reliable termination points- often the Mid Atlantic Ridge, with a couple odd exceptions like Np' (he does not call it that, in fact I don't think he has ever heard of ECDO. He just notes that there is a termination point near the southern edge of the East African Rift). He also observes that mechanical breakages (fracking) or magnetic sources (power generation) can help channel smaller earthquakes (not cause them, slightly influence WHERE they propagate).
That Np' should be a termination point is curious. And while the whole west coast of the Americas is seismically active, he does observe one location near Bolivia as being a frequent origin point of deeper earthquakes. This is doubly curious.
Np' is the true N Pole best documented under ECDO theory. I believe that the 5ka event made an uncommon 'selection' of ~Bolivia as the N Pole, per this quadrupole article: https://t.co/pP6QOV6Vmp
The time over which the mantle 'forgets' magnetic character is likely on the order of ~10k years. Enough to have some distant memory of the 14ka ECDO event (Np', 31 E) and a more recent memory of the 5ka Bolivia event. That would still give some shape to the magnetic lines and Lorentz forces we see driving things today.
This is a very, very long way of saying that I am ruminating on the idea that we have underestimated the contribution of what you might call 'long term magnetic memory' in both our discussions of earthquake propagation and ECDO dynamics.

Another very warm start to the day across Southern #Ontario
Temps range from the upper teens to low 20s
Hottest day of the week for many with temps in the upper 20s/ near 30C, humidex values nearing 40
Enjoy the heat if you're a fan, cold front moves through tomorrow and we won't see a day like today for another 1-2 weeks
#OnWX #ONStorm
Next line of storms to watch are slowly tracking NE through #Michigan
Several of the storms are currently tornado warned (Red polygons)
Models are adamant on the line quickly weakening/ fizzling out as it makes its way into SW #Ontario around midnight
Will watch..and uodate
#OnWX #ONStorm
Storms are firing up a wee bit ahead of schedule across Deep SW #Ontario
Severe Thunderstorm Warning in effect for Quarter size hail, heavy rain and strong wind gusts
Expect more storms to fire within the next 1-3hrs
Severe threat should diminish by midnight
#OnWX#ONStorm
Better hope the evening models are wrong if you're hoping for a good soaking rain
Not much moisture being shown through Saturday AM
Isolated storms/ showers for the most part
Cold front Friday looks dry for the most part with not much rain associated with it
#OnWX#ONStorm #OntAg
Watching a cluster of storms that may impact Deep SW / North shore of Lake #Erie later this evening
Plenty of fuel (CAPE) for the storms to work with values nearing 3000 locally
Could see some isolated severe storms with torrential rainfall, string winds and hail being the main risks. A brief tornado cannot be rulled out
Timing- 8pm to 12am
#OnWX #ONStorm
I was being commented toward as how I don't sit and read more often.. It's not that I don't want to, but I'm not going to read to simply escape. I want to enjoy the read.
Using what should be used to enjoy as escapism is a terrible idea.
Best to get yourself right first.
