Yeah, we used to say we have earthquakes, wildfires and mudslides, but at least we don't have hurricanes and tornados. We had two or three tornados earlier this year and now a tropical storm (at least it isn't projected to be hurricane by the time it gets to CA). The earth is saying this is what you get after not taking care of me.

The fun thing is that hurricanes can increase the chance of earthquakes.

It should dissipate into tropical storm by time it hits socal. But it will still dump a metric shit ton of rain down on us. Just in time to wash my car for free

There was just a 5.1 magnitude earthquake near Ojai.

Everyone ok over there? Hurricanes, Earthquakes, Forest Fires, holy crap.

I didn't feel the earthquake, but my phone app went crazy. I didn't know that it would do that, but all of a sudden I got this weird alert from my phone about the earthquake. Its nice to know that it works.

I called a friend up in Ventura County, where the earthquake was located, and they said that it sounded like a truck was backing into their house, but all was undamaged.

Meanwhile according to the Orange County hydrology page we have had about an inch of rain so far from this storm, with the strongest part of the storm to come. It is pretty much sauna like when I go outside with the tropic storm and tropical heat. I, and my dog, do not care for it at all

Felt nothing, cats still sleeping and got no alerts; just vibing with the rain

I've also heard that tropical storms and earthquakes can increase the chance of the Ducks winning the cup

Got the alert on my phone. Started to notice the earthquake when my cheap furniture began to squeak. The only time the cats started to freak out was when I yelled to my wife "earthquake!" Otherwise they would've been completely unfazed.

For those familiar with the legend of Evel Knievel this is pretty good article on his life and legend.

Remembering Evel Knievel 49 Years After Failed Snake River Jump

Over Labor Day weekend 49 years ago, Butte, Montana daredevil Evel Knievel failed spectacularly trying to jump the Snake River. He successfully jumped his motorcycle 275 times, but crash-landed into fame with the 15 he didn't.

Here's some video of his Snake River Canyon jump.

Here's the horrible movie Viva Knievel starring the man himself with Gene Kelly as a sidekick and Lauren Hutton as his love interest somehow. I think Leslie Nielsen is the bad guy??

Not quite sure I could handle the movie. I liked the article.

C'mon, you need more Marjoe Gortner in your life.

Nah, this photo is as close to Evel's legend as I need to get. It's about two miles west of where Evel launched.

And the launch was just on the other side of this bridge...

Took my oldest to his first hockey game yesterday (Liiga). First thing he asked this morning was if we could watch hockey.

I introduced my daughter to hockey at around 3 and now she loves the Stars because of the pretty color of their jerseys. So I disowned her.

'Twas the only logical decision.

It feels wrong that hockey season is so close while there are still so many goddamn mosquitos around

Winter's gonna be wild. The ocean stored ~5C more heat than most other years (up until now anyway). We'll either have absolutely no snow whatsoever anywhere or we'll get ENORMOUS amounts of it once temperatures drop below freezing and the air decides it doesn't want to hold all the moisture anymore.
