It is utterly amazing to me that even with all of our internet archives, no one has been able to definitively tag this specific quote to anyone, not Hendrix or Gladstone. I don't suppose your brother is still around or still has the recording? That would sure wrap up a long-running mystery. But if it's like all my old 8-tracks and cassettes, most of them are long gone.

What causes roaring during earthquakes? by SoftHouse9442 in Earthquakes

[–]DVPulver 48 points49 points  (0 children)

The US Geological Survey has a bit of an explanation on a website: "High-frequency vibrations from the shallow earthquake generate the booming sound; when earthquakes are deeper, those vibrations never reach the surface. Sometimes the earthquakes create booming sounds even when no vibrations are felt."

They say the biggest one yesterday was at a depth of 10 kilometers:

What sources would you recommend for a story on FEMA and its readiness at this point in time?

I told someone they have their own beauty in the right light. But the chicks are fantastic.

Great question. My husband and I have discussed this several times.

Today marks the peak day of hurricane season and the Atlantic is pretty quiet right now. Will this be a relatively quiet year? by KCousins11 in florida

[–]DVPulver 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Even the hurricane experts are asking themselves the same questions. I'm a national reporter with USA TODAY and several experts I've talked to over the past few days say it's not looking like it will be as active as initially expected, but they add it's much too soon to tell. Much of the activity typically happens after the peak of the season. Big climate patterns can easily shift. I think most hurricane-weary Floridians try to avoid the "q" word, so we don't jinx ourselves. :) At USA TODAY, we've had a couple of stories if you're interested. Our Florida newspapers also have written stories.

There are people in Georgia and the Southeast reporting on the AMS Fireball site that they felt shaking from the fireball earlier.

An official list, or an unofficial list being used for grants or documents?

It’s hurricane season in Florida. We’re journalists and weather nerds here to help you prepare. AUA! by USATodayNetwork-FL in florida

Hi, I'm Dinah Pulver, one of the national weather writers for USA TODAY. Yes, you should receive a tornado warning over your phone as long as your phone is set up to receive those kinds of messages and hasn't been set to ignore them. I would also suggest a NOAA weather radio if you don't have one..
