Surviving Catastrophic Floods: Advanced Preparedness for Major Flood Events

[00:00:05] Welcome back to the Changing Earth Podcast with author Sarah F. Hathaway and co-host Chen Gibson. Blending survival fiction and fact to bring you entertaining education that will help you dream, survive, and thrive. And now, here's your host, Sarah F. Hathaway and Chen Gibson.

[00:00:27] Welcome back to the Changing Earth Podcast. This is episode number 484, and we've been at this so long, I have no idea. What season we're in anymore. But hey, Jim, what's up? Jim's up, y'all. We're in like 27 years, aren't we?

[00:00:50] I think next year is my 10-year anniversary. Look at that. Yeah. I think it's either this year or next year. I'll have to go back to the archives and check that out. But yeah, how fun is that? I didn't even think about that. So let's start with a little Changing Earth updates before we get into the news today.

[00:01:17] Because obviously we have some Changing Earth news going on right now. So Las Vegas years. My newest book is the book in between Day After Disaster and Without Land. Fans have been nagging me for years. When are you going to finish the book? And it is finally completed. It is at the cover designer right now.

[00:01:43] So whenever he has time to do that and get it formatted, we'll get it up on Amazon and do a pre-release date. And if you guys can help me out with the pre-release, that would be epic. Want to make it a big success. So that is coming. I know it's my own work, but I'm telling you, I really like how it turned out. I was like, I know where I wanted to start. I know where I wanted to end. I don't know what the middle looks like. And I think we navigated it pretty well.

[00:02:13] So I say me, the family always helps me get the ideas together. Yeah, it's coming, garden girl. It's coming. Really soon. We got to get on Doug to get it done. I hate to nag too much because he's my bro and a lover. Crack that whip. Yeah, literally. So audio drama. We are in season two.

[00:02:38] If you guys haven't checked out the videos that I'm doing over on YouTube, pretty cool stuff. AI just giving me more and more and more tools to use. So that's coming along really nice. It's a lot of fun to watch the videos now over there instead of being screensavers, as my co-host would say. So they have the added value now and they're looking really cool. There are a bunch of work to do. Don't get me wrong, but they're looking pretty cool.

[00:03:05] So season five is tentatively ready. I just have to make sure that I have performers kind of nailed in because I hate switching it up too soon. Yeah, so Jasmine. Yay, JB. So yeah, season five's coming. It's going to be pre-released for members only until I get done re-airing two, three, and season four. So it's going to be a long time of like a member pre-release.

[00:03:35] For the public, I'm estimating, I think it was December I'm estimating, but you know, my weeks get kind of messed up. In and around, Prepper Camp would come up. And you guys, if you haven't been out to Prepper Camp, you're missing out. Every year is a year to remember. I'm praying that we don't have any hurricanes this year. That would be great. That was a little interesting. And then with the bees and everything. The bees last year.

[00:04:04] So yeah, that was bad. So get on out to Prepper Camp. Guys, tickets are never cheaper than what they are right now. Every day they go to the night. Go ahead, Jen. Yeah, I said tickers are never cheaper than today because tomorrow it seems like they go up again. It feels like every tomorrow they're going up again. Yeah. Yeah. So Chin is Amber Poo today.

[00:04:33] Dragon Amp. My 10-pound attack dog. She comes by. Yeah. We were teasing because Chin's a big old guy. Got a little old dog. I'm just a little chick and I got a big old dog I walked down the street with, you know. But it keeps everything at bay, including other dogs. So, but yeah, Amber Poo the snack there. So there you go. New books coming.

[00:05:02] Audio dramas rocking. Got to check it out. Got some great new performers, new voices. And the AI tools are just incredible. I'm literally a kid in a candy shop. So I'm designing my own music. You're going to be able to get the Changing Earth soundtrack soon, which is incredible. I have to show you some of that, Chin. It's incredible stuff. And I'm just going off on production. So I love that. Oh, goodness.

[00:05:31] How many more heads can you fit on that little head of yours? I love creating. It's so much fun. So the more I can bring the Changing Earth world to life, the better. So I'll have those CDs for sale. I'll have these songs available for download on the website. It's just, I've got so much to do right now. I am finishing up projects. So we're putting checks in the boxes. All righty. We are going into a pretty serious topic today.

[00:05:58] And let me first open it up with a prayer for all of the people who don't know if their loved ones are coming home tonight, don't know if they're going to see their kids again. I couldn't imagine. And I just hope that the Lord Jesus reaches out to them. And, you know, the Lord's will is done on earth. We have no idea what his will is. It doesn't always work out the way we want it to.

[00:06:27] But what a catastrophic event to happen down in the Texas Hill Country floods, you know, with Camp Mystic. It's a very prestigious camp. You've got to wait years to get onto that waiting list. And I couldn't even imagine dropping my kid off at camp and then not knowing if I was going to be able to pick him up afterwards. So prayers for everybody. Pretty serious note, like I'm saying.

[00:06:56] And last year, just to lighten it up a little bit, we went through Helene. And we were just chatting about this earlier, you know, could have just as easily been prepper camp picked up last year. Yeah, if the train was a little different at camp. Yeah. It scared me to see those pictures of Texas. It could have come right down that system. We could go through scenes like that to get home. We did. We did.

[00:07:25] Us as well. And, you know, looking out the window at somebody and half their house is there. And they're just standing there like deer in the headlights. I mean, that really brings it home. I really. I mean, I don't know how many downed power lines we drove over. They are still. They are still a little over nine months later. They are still cleaning out Lake Lord. Still. It's still emptied. And they still have heavy equipment in there. Cleaning it out.

[00:07:54] The town is on the 27th of June. They just opened Chibney Rock State Park. Oh, right. So let's just open. It's days and days and days of cleanup. I don't know, you know, how fast that's going to be able to be done. But the community is pretty powerful in Texas. That's what does it. Yeah, right. We have 70 confirmed deaths, including 21 children.

[00:08:23] 11 girls are still missing at this time. The people I know, well, everybody knows a gal. Carrie that I've had on the show, Carrie Hansen, she has a lot of boots on the ground over there and has been keeping me updated on what's going on. It's not good. People literally poking around with sticks for bodies. But the Texas first responders, they would really appreciate any kind of assistance.

[00:08:53] You know, Texans don't really ask for it. But we're up to 80. 80 deaths now, Garden Girl says. Yeah. And I have a feeling that's just going to increase. Texas first responders, though. Cajun Navy. H-E-B. Hotel Echo Bravo. Disaster Relief. And the local Texas communities. The more you guys can help out, the better. The Texas, our state government, wanted to go in and help out. And the local communities were like, no, no, no.

[00:09:23] You know, we got it under control kind of deal. Because that's really what Texas is all about. It's impressive to see how much they tighten up their bootstraps and just get down to business when stuff like this happens. A very big breath of fresh air from hearing the complaints about how FEMA could come save us because we've had four days without power in the California foothills, you know. So today we wanted to talk about flooding.

[00:09:52] But we have talked about flooding a lot on the show. So we're not just talking about flooding. We're talking about these catastrophic events. We've had too many of them now to not talk about it. To not talk about how to even increase your preparedness level to that next level so that you understand if this type of catastrophe could befall you. It's really scary, the FEMA and flood maps, how inaccurate a lot of them are.

[00:10:21] And that's really like the basis that homeowners, mortgages, everything's going off of. So that was one thing I found kind of frightening in the research when I was putting it together. So Helene dumps 30 inches of rain. Record-breaking rain there. 2,000 landslides. And that's not an exaggeration. I bet you it's more. They were everywhere.

[00:10:49] French River in Asheville hit 24.67 feet. I heard stories of people on the third floor that were watching water out their window of apartment buildings. This surpassed the 1916 record for flooding. Pigeon River in Newport, Tennessee reached 29.72 feet. Just incredible stuff. The Texas Hill Country floods. This was driven by a slow-moving storm. Prepare, guys.

[00:11:19] I've heard more rain is coming your way. So just get prepared. Get ready for more. It dropped 12 inches of rain in just hours. Hours. It happened so quick. Did you see some of the videos on that? Some people were hiking and they took a picture of the stream and it just kept growing. And then you started to see trees and shrubs coming down the stream and they kept growing and growing. It was amazing.

[00:11:48] To think what happened, what they were seeing the front line of coming towards you. You know? It's almost like you have to watch that and memorize that. And if you ever see a place that you see that, to freaking hightail it. Kern is on evacuation orders right now, JB says. Yeah. And that's one of the things we're going to talk about. You know? Get out now. When they give you the warning, man, it is not worth it. Don't play.

[00:12:16] I went to North Carolina last year. It was a big argument between everybody, you know, with PBN and Prepper Camp and everything. There was a lot of back and forth about it. And I drove from Texas into North Carolina. Knowing what I've known now and being through that event, I probably would have pulled out. I would pull out. Right? I would be like, nope.

[00:12:46] Because I sat there all night long in my trailer just praying and crying and begging the Lord. You know? Just asking them like, hey, if you're going to take us out of this world, take us all out together. You know? And that's how frightened I was that night. So would I want to do a repeat of that? Nah, I'd probably get out early. Yeah. We're preparing as people. I mean, so you got to go back and clean your house up. Well, at least you weren't in it. You know? You know? So.

[00:13:15] It's way different than like hurricanes. Because I used to live at the coast and we had like week, two weeks of prepping for it. These storms, you don't think about it being that devastating. Right. I live in the mountains. There's no big bodies of water. Wow. That and the hurricanes always break up as they hit the mountains. Oh, man. You know?

[00:13:38] And as we get on, they did issue a flood alert for Kerr. But it didn't. It came in more. Just more. That's one of the things that James Hart, when I used to train a lot with him, he really, really instilled in me about these desert areas. Yeah. Like, just watch out. Don't ever camp like by the river or whatever. Because these events, you don't even, sometimes you don't even see the rain.

[00:14:08] And boom, there it is. And you're done. You know? So, Garden Girl just said, some of these remote camps didn't have reception. Yeah. So, they weren't even getting the warnings. Right? And we got them. We got them at prepper camp. Boy, we got them all. Ding, ding. So, yeah. It doesn't take a minute you just fall asleep. Because what else are you going to do besides sleeping out? You know? It will be hitting again. So, yeah.

[00:14:35] Guadalupe surged 26 feet in just 45 minutes. Um, this is because, so, L2 Survive hit it right on the head over on YouTube. It says, just wait for the floods from the pole shift. This is like the birthing pains. This is the beginning. We're going to see more areas, just extremes. More rain in some areas, less in others. Just this extreme situation with weather.

[00:15:03] So, we really have to get prepared for it. Um, we've got to be heads up in the central breadbasket of the United States. Because if we had a rain event like this that hit Fort Peck Dam up in Montana, that would destroy the whole center of the United States. So, I really, I'm, I'm really adamant about that dam doing something about it. Because it just shouldn't even be there. It's at the top of the whole Mississippi River system. It's just crazy.

[00:15:31] So, anyway, um, we have to be ready for this kind of stuff. We have to be aware. The 100-year flood maps, um, are indicate areas with a 1% annual flood risk. But only, Helene only showed 2% that was hardest hit was on the flood map even. Like, it wasn't even accurate. If you were like, oh, I need flood insurance, I'm going to check a flood map to see if it's necessary. It wasn't even there.

[00:16:01] It wasn't even accurate. So, um, that, that is a problem. Oh, JB just chimed up. Yeah, the, the alerts, we get them so often now that we're getting desensitized. I wouldn't disagree. I wouldn't disagree. Um, like thunderstorms. Like, you're constantly getting thunderstorms. Rain is going to start in five minutes and it's going to end. Okay, I get it. But, you know. Yeah, right. And then, uh, you know, we wake up, oh, tornado alert. My husband, I'll go back to bed.

[00:16:30] Like, what? Yeah, uh, we did. It was crazy. So, um, First Street Foundation, they have flood mapping models over there. Um, and I guess they're a little bit more accurate. They identified 19,500 properties in Bunkobe. Bunkobe? How do you say it, Chin? Bunk. Sure. You know? Okay. County alone. Um, I know how to say Canadian things. Bunkum. Bunkum. Okay.

[00:17:00] Bunkum County. Yeah. So, they identified 19,500 properties that weren't on the list that got hit, um, during that event. You know? So, they already had them. Um, it also suggests your local, um, disaster relief is going to have more accurate maps than like the National FEMA flood maps. Because. The other, the other thing is topo maps. Like, get some topo maps. And, and learn, like, where, where the, the hills and the valleys are.

[00:17:29] Because water floats downhill, right? Right. So, learn. Because I know, like, for Lake Loer, we had a, a major, like, valley heading into the lake. And then we had a whole bunch of these other valleys that kind of created little feeder rivers into it. Topo maps. They were just little. Yeah. You can go over there. And you have to pay for them. But you can just screenshot it, you know? Yeah. That's what I do. I just screenshot it and print it. So, I don't have to.

[00:17:57] I mean, I guess I should be paying for it. But, you know, we're preppers on a budget, right? Right. So, yeah. That, that's where I found the best topo maps is on topo. Topo map.com, I believe. Yeah. It's been big time rain events. Big time rain events. So, when do we bug out versus staying put?

[00:18:26] This is an interesting question with flooding. Why? Because you never drive through the flood water. James, talk to us, James. Right. You never drive through the flood water. So, six inches of moving water can knock you off your feet. Six inches. You're like, oh, that's fine. Right?

[00:18:51] But with the last floods, with the two floods we're talking about tonight, there might not be a road to drive out. Forget about high water. There might not be a road. Yeah. That's why, like, if you're going to go, you have to go now. Like, they just put that warning up for, now is the time you get out. Yeah. Yeah. Either the road getting undercut, you know, digging underneath the road and collapsing, or mudslides coming down. On top of it. Right. Yeah. And they just got destroyed.

[00:19:20] Same thing's been happening. So, now is the time. Like, if you're going to go, go now. Especially if somebody has any kind of medical problems where you would need, like, emergency assistance very quickly because of the, and it's a pre-existing condition, you already know about it. Like, get them to a hotel or something, you know, that's outside of the area. I mean, that's just smart. And you know what?

[00:19:43] If anybody gives you crap about it now, you just refer to North Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas and just say, you know. There you go. Exactly. Oh, Elon Musk is dropping star links to all the first responders. Yeah, that's huge. It is. Because my first responders in my county were totally blocked out. Right. And that's why I've been on such a big kick about backup comms. Yeah.

[00:20:11] Because that's what, HAM and GMRS is what got us through until some of the people started getting star links. Right. And thank God that JB had them. Yeah. You know. My mom would have been freaking out heart attack. I mean, so. Yeah. Oh, they found two of the girls 30 foot in trees alive. I saw that. Thank you. Yeah. Right. Amen. Amen. Okay. So bugging out.

[00:20:39] So 12 inches of rain or on the road can sweep your car away. It is way more deceiving than you think I have driven through a section that after talking with James, I probably shouldn't have. It bent my license plate out and stuff. It was really small. If it was any bigger than what I went through, I would have been in the same boat. So just don't do it. The time to get out is early. And that's a lot of what happened.

[00:21:07] Why we have more deaths is because people are out driving around in it. When we were in Helene coming home, we saw piles of vehicles just bulldoze under the overpasses because they were like, we can't do anything with this. We got to pile it up. It was crazy. So this is your tip, Chen, the monitor, the 10 day and hourly forecast. What are you going to for your weather apps? What's your go tos?

[00:21:35] Well, I go to them all, honestly. But I use like the weather bug and what's this other one? Windy and after weather and weather channel because I don't trust just one. You never know if one. So you go to like four of them and you follow the common theory of what the weather is going to be. You know what I mean? Yeah. And then so I look at the 10 day. Yeah. And I look at the 10 day to get a feel for it.

[00:22:05] And then I look at the hourly for the date I'm in to get a feel for, you know, when it's hitting and when it's subsiding kind of thing. Right. Right. What that looks like. Yeah. And sometimes all you can do is watch it come in. So they did put up the flood watch for Texas at 118 p.m. on July 3rd, predicting up to seven inches of rain, but 12 inches fell overnight, catching many people asleep.

[00:22:34] So it happens a lot. So pay attention to those early warning signs, especially for any kind of catastrophic flooding they say is going to come your way. Know your high risk area. Know your area. Are you at a high risk area? Know that. Get to a better place. If you're not, try your best. Pre-storm window. So you only have that little time to go, you know what?

[00:23:03] This storm could be a lot worse than it is. We're going to get out. Right. This storm could be a lot worse. We're just going to postpone our trip this year. And it hurts. And it sucks. And it's not a decision you want to make. But yeah. Sometimes that's what's got to be done. And have multiple friends and families in multiple directions. Right. Because you might have to go one way or the other way. Right. That's why I've got people all over the U.S. Like, up there.

[00:23:33] Yeah. So JB had put up as well the sinkholes. The sinkholes have been crazy. And then the heat's been crazy as to buckling roads. So, you know, be careful out there. It's been changing earth. Changing earth. So, no safe exit. Keep in mind if it's nighttime when you're leaving. That's even more dangerous. You know, at night, on the road, during an event. Bad idea.

[00:24:04] Move to the upper levels of your home. Ideally with the attic. We're going to talk about some supplies you should have in your attic. And then monitor conditions. Just constantly, constantly monitoring, monitoring, monitoring those 10 apps that you use. Or the weather apps that you use. You know, the 10-day forecast. And the NOAA. The hand crank radios. Come back to the old faithful, right? Right.

[00:24:35] Never, never, never, never, never drive through the floodwaters. We're sticking with James on that one. It's just a bad idea. I don't care how many... When you see a house floating down the river, you know a car don't stand a chance. Right. Yeah, that's not happening. Did you see the subframes from the campers just bent around trees? Oh, yeah. And they hit it and just, yeah. Yeah. So the walls, the structural integrity of your house.

[00:25:05] This is one thing that I've really been noticing in these flooding events. Is obviously the whole house going. But people have been dying because they're waiting it out inside. But their wall collapses. And then it takes, kills them, kills whoever's there. So it's not really something we think about. We think about it more with like tornadoes and hurricanes, wind events. But we don't think about water. So this is actually pretty cool.

[00:25:33] One foot of water against a wall generates 500 pounds of force per square foot. That's insane. That is crazy. And that's without like the debris and all that stuff, right? That is just water. That, you know, water's heavy. Water moves. Water is intense. It is something that demands respect all the time. You can drown in one tablespoon of water.

[00:26:04] So, um, we can foundations, dry, saturated drywall, um, debris. When debris, like you say, when the RVs come slamming in the motorhome, boom, you know, that just hits your wall. So do not. Trees. Yep. Boom. Yeah. Battering winds. They become battering winds. Yeah, literally. And if they're sideways, um, so same rule is going to apply. You want to be on the interior of your house, like it's a tornado or something.

[00:26:33] Something that's very structurally sound. I wouldn't go like under the stairs because, you know, you need to be getting up the stairs if you need to, right? Um, so make sure that you have identified those safe zones in your home. Make sure that you do pre-flood checks. So this is like literally checking your house out to make sure. Does everything look good? How's my roof shape? Guys, it's really important with roofs right now.

[00:27:00] It's not only a wildfire danger to have a poor roof, but then flooding, wind damage, um, the wood, the, the, um, the, um, the roofs are just taking it on the chin with this extreme. Ah, no fun intended. But, uh, but they're just taking it in this extreme weather. And unfortunately, yeah, they are expensive to replace, but they have some really, really great shingles and product now that you can put on your roof for protection.

[00:27:26] So if you do have to update it, make sure you look into a really good shingle. Um, ask your insurance company about it. Yeah. Guam built concrete buildings for the typhoons. Yeah. Because they're just getting wrecked. I totally agree, Jimmy. I'm thinking like future home is like the hobbit hole. You know, you would think after how many years of construction, how many centuries of construction, we could build a better house than these stick built. I mean, my goodness. Single roofs.

[00:27:55] Like obviously it's not cutting it anymore. I really like that product that I've seen out of Florida. That's like the Lego blocks. Yes. Yes. Those are cool. That can withstand the cat four. Yeah. Um, but yeah, it's time to like update our building here. Okay. Um, we got to keep moving along. I'm like on this platform, I have the little clock that tells me how long I've been going. I don't have to do the math in my head. I like that. Um, sorry. Side note. Squirrel. Squirrel.

[00:28:30] Squirrel. Big chance of electrocution. Um, we see it big time overseas. They don't have quite like the systems that we have. So like every time it's flooding over there, you hear about somebody was electrocuted is really how people die, which is really sad. But it'll happen here as well. And they were like, check for, um, leaks with a flashlight, not a candle. Yeah. My old dick. Yeah. My dick. I'm sorry, dude.

[00:28:59] What if I mean, survival of the fittest. Yeah. Gas leaks. Yep. If you've come this far and you can't figure that one out. Um, I don't know, but yeah, use a flashlight, not a candle. That's so hilarious, but I guess so. Right. I mean, I mean, if your house gets, if, if something damaged the pipes outside or your house gets damaged, you might have a gas leak. Right.

[00:29:26] And you're burning lanterns or whatever inside for light. Ba-boom. So I can see that. The Coleman stove. Yeah. Um, swift water navigation. So something that isn't talked about a whole lot in my opinion is how different it is to be in flood water versus a lake or a pool. You might be a really, really great swimmer.

[00:29:56] You know, more power to you. But, um, I have been in the American rivers. I've been in the Yuba river. I know the power of those rivers. There are times you do not go in those rivers or you're going to die. Yeah. I mean, that's it. That's why I spent time up by the Hudson river in New York. Yeah. We never went swimming in that. We went boating there, but we never went swimming. It was fast currents. Yeah. You have to give it respect.

[00:30:25] There's under toes. There's things you can't see. You could go and get wedged under a rock, even with a life vest on it. You still, you're still dead. Um, so it's very important to understand, like, you're not just jumping into a lake. You're jumping into a rapidly moving current where you're going to get pulled away. So, um, my advice on that one is to study the swift water rescues.

[00:30:53] Under have an understanding of like how they're using ropes to go across things. Um, they even do classes on, um, how to be swift water rescue aware, or you can go become a swift water rescue person. Didn't you do rafting? I did. Well, I did the rafting photos, but I did a lot of rafting as well. But yeah, so we had to go through classes on, you know, if you fall in the river, what you have to do.

[00:31:23] So basically, you know, life jacket on and you point your feet down the river. The, the key is to keep your head away from being down that river. Uh, cause you get, you know, whammed on your head. So definitely, um, learn the method. If you, you don't know what I'm talking about, get up, open up your YouTube and check it out because it's not just the same as like, Oh, I'm floating down a raft and tubing. Yeah.

[00:31:52] At water world or whatever. Avoid strainers. So strainers are fences, trees, debris, anything like, like if it was a river, it would be a rock, right? Anything that's going to get you hung up on it. The moment you get hung up on something, that's big trouble. Cause that, that 500 pounds of pressure is on you now. Right. So, um, it's really, really hard. You're going to have to fight for all your life.

[00:32:21] It's very hard to swim up river, but a lot of times you can swim out, you know, like at an angle away from things or climb. They had, they had I-beams from bridges for like personal bridges for like homes up in the mountains around here. And I-beams were washed away, wrapped around trees. That's how much force, I mean, these I-beams made the bridges that people drove their cars

[00:32:45] and trucks over, but it was just wrapped around like a, you know, like a freaking, yeah. Just wrapped around a tree. Yeah. Yeah. And definitely avoid any kind of cars, houses, anything that has more mass is also going to create its own eddy and its own wake. And it's going to want to suck you in there. So, um, yeah, seriously. That's why I like, if you go down with the ship in the ocean, it pulls you in. It's going to create that kind of eddy, that kind of thing.

[00:33:15] So, um, definitely be aware of debris. And then you should have the USCG approved type three life vest. These are not the attractive skiing ones. You know, these are the ones that have the hoods. So it's going to protect your neck and I'm- Keep your head above water. Yes. Yeah. Your head above, even if you go out, even if you're back down. That's what those are made for. Yeah. Right.

[00:33:42] So I would definitely have, um, I would definitely have your life vest in your attic. I mean, I would just save them there for sure. You know, the one thing about that though is, uh, the attic gets so hot and it just plays havoc on like sporting goods and stuff. Yeah. That's true.

[00:34:10] You might not want to store it there, but bring it up for the event if you had to evacuate it to your attic. Up there. I'm like, my hockey gear's in the attic? Uh-oh. Yeah. I had, I had a pair of, um, snow ski boots and, uh, I had them stored up in the attic. First time I took them out to use after being stored in the attic, I was skiing and it just

[00:34:35] kind of fell apart and I had to rent, I had to rent equipment for the rest, the rest of the trip. Yeah. So that's, I'm just saying a little heads up on sporting goods in the attic. Yep. Yeah, absolutely. Um, so I mean, I would say like you could put a boat, like a raft up there, but unless unless you're going to like, you're going to have to get it out. Yeah.

[00:35:02] And like your average blow up raft is not going to do it. It's going to be captured so fast. Yeah. It's not even worth it. They do have those tsunami balls now, you know, the ones that are like, it sounds like a nasty drink at the bar. It does. It does. Yeah. Um, I, I love that design of it. It's like a bounce house, but you're inside and you can survive a tsunami in it.

[00:35:31] So, I mean, I'm sure they're like 10 grand or something, but you know, something crazy. But, uh, if you can do something like that or maybe like rowboats become the new, like, uh, what, what is it? A wind turret, a wind sock or whatever that you put on your roof. Yeah. Right. Yeah. Just, you just hop on it. Yeah. Okay.

[00:35:55] So, um, practice whenever you can, if you can practice, uh, the swimming method in a controlled environment, that's awesome. We talked about the ax, the, um, having an ax in your attic to be able to go through the wall or the roof. We've talked about it before the life vets, your food plan, obviously, um, keeping it up there is an issue, like you say, because of the heat. Yeah. So, um, and even any kind of rubber too.

[00:36:24] Plastics rubbers. Yeah. They just, yeah, it's going to be a compromise in that kind of heat. Yeah. Firewood forge would just say that in hot season, it was 120, 23 degrees Fahrenheit in his attic. Right. And that's not even in the hot season. I can't even imagine. I mean, we have minimal air conditioning up there. So. Yeah. Um, so communications blackouts were both, both events had complete communication blackouts.

[00:36:53] Um, that's why. Gotta listen to that crazy guy that talks about communications and mesh tastic or walkie talkies. I'm telling you. Hey guys. He has something going on there. We have a mesh tastic group in our single group. So if you're really into it and, um, you're, you know, really interested in getting into that group, feel free to reach out to me or chin. You can just go to the contact page on changing your series.com.

[00:37:20] Um, and we can work on getting you into that room or whatever, but we do have a group there and, uh, we have some, you know, we have chin, but we also have, uh, a couple of your guys that are pretty, yeah, pretty intelligent when it comes to that stuff. So, um. Um, Oh no, I'm not trying to be the expert. I'm just trying to get everybody involved. I know you ain't trying. Guess what? The more people we get involved, the more experts we'll create. You picked up those reins. It's all. You're the guy.

[00:37:50] Hmm. Hmm. Um, so having the Skylink, Skylink, am I right? Skylink. I always want to say Starlink. Starlink. Having the Starlink, uh, is a really good, I've seen it come through time and time again. So I'm not going to diss anything about it. Um, uh, the local alerts, obviously stay tuned with your social medias, that kind of thing. They help out with that kind of stuff and Craig radio.

[00:38:20] So stay connected, stay together and, uh, don't forget about your community. That's what it's all about. So speaking of, uh, we have many, many people supporting the relief efforts here in Texas. Um, the, most of them are nonprofit agents just doing the right thing at the right time. So you can donate to, um, the Kerr County Flood Relief Fund.

[00:38:49] That's at communityfoundation.net. The Cajun Navy. That's at unitedcajunnavy.org. Um, the HEB, that's Hotel Echo Bravo's relief efforts via local drop-off points. So that one's more of a local relief effort. Um, if you have time, you can definitely, um, volunteer your own services, your own time. Go to, uh, Texas Community Recovery.

[00:39:19] Uh, there's a phone number for that one. I'll put it up in the blog, but you can just Google it. Um, this is easy stuff to find. The Salvation Army in Kerrville does need trash bags, bleach, and diapers at this time. So if you're in the area and you can help out at all, that would be great. Um, everybody that's involved needs prayers. So the more that you can pray, the better.

[00:39:43] I will tell you that, um, I do believe the power of prayer is what kept Prepper Camp 2024 safe. Um, we were probably, you know, just throwing up the prayer bubble around that place. Um, so it's not, it's not in vain. It's, it's good stuff. So these floods are going to increase. We got to be ready.

[00:40:11] And this is next level preparation. This is like you being so prepared, like above and beyond what anybody else is for these types of events. That you can actually assist other people in making sure they're doing the right thing. And that's what happened at camp. Yeah. That's absolutely what happened because the campers, the out of towners were given to support to the local community at camp. You're not wrong.

[00:40:40] If there's a reason we were all there at that time. That's why. Yeah. Because we really did. Um, it was impressive. Um, the guys getting out there and cutting roads, everybody just pitching in where they can, uh, coming together, food and everything for the local community. Um, yeah. So don't, you're, you're worth, you're very much worth something and they very much need you when these things happen. It's all about your community. Yep. All righty.

[00:41:09] Let's jump. Uh-oh. I got to do some media stuff. Let's, uh, jump into some changing earth news. Dream. Survive. Thrive. This is changing earth news. I just love it. Love it. Changing earth news.

[00:41:37] I don't even have to do that anymore when we come back. How do I? News, news, news. So we're picking up from June 1st. And guys, this is wild. Everything is just wild sauce right now. It's such a, such a great time to be alive. Okay. June 1st to 6th, we're having earthquake swarms in Pakistan. Um, most of them were under a 4.0, but just because of the fact that they're swarming, it was of concern.

[00:42:07] No deaths, uh, minimal impact probably to the local agriculture of the area. What about 30 quakes? So that's a pretty big deal. And it's an urban setting. So there's a lot of people feeling those quakes. And usually swarms indicate something bigger. So we're going to keep our eye on that one. June 1st, Sakajirima volcano in Japan erupted. Minor ash fall.

[00:42:33] There was impact to like rice and vegetable crocs, uh, crops, cracks, vegetable crocs. Those are shoes that look like broccoli. Yeah. Um, the vegetable crop near the mountain, um, that was recommended that they cover their, you know, their gardens, that kind of thing. June 1st to July 6th. So this is ongoing all last year, severe or all last month. We've got severe drought going in the Rockies, the Great Plains and Central Texas.

[00:43:02] Um, it's just been kicking up the heat on us pretty good. Um, significant stress to the crops. And, um, it's just been hotter than Hades. Um, but there's also been a heat wave going on the East Coast of the United States. So you guys have not been, uh, immune to the heat that's going on. Um, stresses to corn, corn, soybean crops, uh, livestock, that kind of thing.

[00:43:31] Record highs broken. And, uh, on June 24th to June 26th. So again, we got the extremes. We got the extreme heat. We got the extreme cold. We got the extreme rain. We got the extreme drought. People map. Right? Everything in moderation, Sarah. Come on now. I know. No, no. This is the change in earth. Change. Like. It's going to be, it's going to be hot and bothered. Um, June 1st to July 6th.

[00:43:59] France and Spain are also under a severe heat wave. Um, you know, they don't have air conditioning a lot of times and stuff over there. I was actually reading a report. It's more likely to die of, um, not having AC in Europe than it is of getting shot by a gun here in the United States. Like that. Right? The ratio is actually higher. Um, they're worried about their grape and olive groves over there.

[00:44:28] So that is a concern going on, um, with all that heat. The yields just aren't as good. And the production, the value of the products just not as good. June 1st, the second, we had a CME that was a G4. It did, um, um, it caused that G4. It was an M8 that erupted from the sun. Um, there was moderate radio blackouts.

[00:44:54] Um, Wi-Fi communications, things like that went down. So that was happening June 1st. I always watch that stuff because of, uh, um, everybody's temperature, everybody's brain, their cognitive abilities. What are my clients going to be like? Um, June 3rd, uh, there was a tornado outbreak in Kansas City. an EF1 and EF2. Two confirmed tornadoes touched down, one in Jackson County,

[00:45:21] and then there was a flash flooding in Wyandotte County as well. June 4th, the 12th tropical storm Wu Tip, a severe tropical storm, hit the South China Sea in Henan, and then it hit Guangdong as well. Flooddings from massive rains there damaged rice and fruit crops. This storm did intensify to a minimal typhoons, made landfall on Henan,

[00:45:50] and then eventually hit Guangdong as well. That's just fun to say too, by the way. June 4th through the 12th, tropical storm Aurang came through, hit Taiwan in East China. No confirmed deaths in that event, but there was flooding that took place. They really got creamed last year, so they could use a break. June 6th to 12th, there was CME ejections that caused a G1 storm.

[00:46:19] The systems for precision farming would be thrown off by that. You're also going to be able to see the auroras a little bit better because that one was, did come at the earth. Solar wind speeds dropped. On June 10th to 13th, tropical storm Delilah was off the Pacific coast of Mexico. Minor flooding from that,

[00:46:43] limited impact on local crops from that event, and it did form to a tropical storm, but it dissipated really quickly, which was great because my dad was down there right then. June 15th, there was a solar flare that came about. It was an M 8.3. It did not directly impact the earth, but it did cause minor radio

[00:47:06] blackouts. It was just like a glancing blow. June 16th, we had tornadoes. There was an EF 0 and an EF 1. I love the EF 0s. That means it was just really windy, right? In Minnesota, no loss of life, local crop damage. There was a tornado that ripped a roof off near Bertha. Bertha, Bertha, Minnesota.

[00:47:32] So fitting for Minnesota with the Vikings. Supercells produced a tornado there. Four to six inches of rain caused flooding. Hurricane Eric came through June 17th to 19th. A lot of hurricanes already this year, guys. I don't know what this year is going to look like as far as, um, last year they did a big prediction. Oh, we're going to have so many more, and we didn't really. We had some big intense ones,

[00:47:59] granted, but we didn't have that many. This year, it seems to be, I'd like to see some numbers on our frequency already, already stirred up. June 17th to 19th, Hurricane Eric came through. It was a cap four off, it hit the Pacific coast of Mexico. Two people, unfortunately, did lose their lives in that event. Um, and then the, there was 17 deaths in Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador from when the big storm

[00:48:27] came through. Um, lots of flooding. So the precursor storm was damaging maize and coffee. Again, coffee, we don't need a hit. We got to keep our cheap coffee or my husband's going to be a mess. Um, Category three landfall impacted, um, Mexican, the coastal agriculture. Um, peak winds on that storm

[00:48:50] were 145 miles an hour, so it was pretty big. June 17th, there was a moderate volcano, volcanic eruption, Lua Toby, um, Lockheed and Indonesia. That one is going mega eruption. Ashfall was up to 11,584, meters damage to rice, maize, coffee. That's really good growing area. So, um, they're kind of used to

[00:49:18] that. A 10,000 meter ash column goes up from that volcano, which was, which is pretty epic. June 17th, tornado touchdown in Colorado. Um, it was an EF1 with 106 mile an hour winds. Um, you just don't hear them, uh, out in Colorado very much, but they did have that one that was on top of the mountain two years ago, which is crazy. That's not supposed to happen. June 17th, 2025, there was an M-class solar flare,

[00:49:48] no direct impact. Um, that one was not earth facing at all. June 18th to 25th, 25th, we had flooding in Guangdong, China. Um, severe flooding, likely damage to the local crops, water levels reaching 55.22 meters,

[00:50:10] um, 0.43, 0.43 meters above historical highs in China. So they've been recording for a long time, right? So, you know, that's legit, right? When you see those getting broken. Uh, June 20th, there was a tornado, Enderlin, North Dakota, three deaths, two injuries from that, um, event. Many

[00:50:36] farmhouses were leveled, significant crop damage from debris. Um, it was a monster wedge tornado that came in and then two EF2 tornadoes in the Valley City area. June 22nd to 20, 21st to 22nd, there was a winter storm snow event. If you can believe it, there was snow in Glacier Park, Montana and Idaho

[00:51:00] on 21st to the 22nd, uh, rare storm, 12 to 18 inches of snow above 6,000 feet, four inches in the valley, winds up to 50 miles an hour. So I love reporting on snow events in the summertime. It just makes you feel like, Oh yeah. Right. As you're just sweating it out. June 21st to July 5th,

[00:51:25] there's an extreme earthquake storm that's still actively being monitored. This is off the coast of Japan, the Southern coast, um, minimal impact right now, like sweet potato crops and fishing. Uh, but they've had 75 quakes. Uh, that's a lot of earthquakes. 4.0 was, uh, in the 4.0 area, 5.6 was the largest. So there are actively monitoring this, no tsunamis or anything at this

[00:51:55] point, but, but very interesting. And in that areas where I believe like the new, um, volcanic islands are being formed and then they dissipate and they're being formed and dissipate. There's also June 22nd to the 25th flooding in China. Again, um, the Duli river flooded 11 meters above normal, likely destroyed rice, vegetable crops. This is the largest flood on record. Uh, again,

[00:52:25] when we hear news like this coming out of China, their historic records go away way farther than ours. And this is their largest flood on record, major economic losses. Um, so again, prayers going out. You never hear a lot about like how many people are dying or what, who's missing that kind of thing, um, coming out of China. But when you, when you see big events like that, you got to take note.

[00:52:50] June 22nd, there was an EF one tornado in Clark mills, New York crop damage, uprooted trees, that kind of thing. I was stopped spawned by a derecho thunderstorm remnants, June 22nd to the 26th. We had a, uh, coronal hole high speed stream causing a G one to a G two geomagnetic storm,

[00:53:12] no direct impact on the earth. As far as like major damage, we're just looking at a lot of auroras, possible radio blackouts. It does uptake earthquake activity. So we do keep our eye out for that. It could be one of the reasons why we're getting that swarm over by Japan, June 23rd. There you go. There was a 4.1 earthquake, um, in far as Providence, Iraq,

[00:53:38] um, minor damage. You got to wonder about, um, Oh, I'm sorry. It was in Iran. Um, um, you got to wonder kind of about earthquake news coming out of that area right now, just because of the, um, activity that's going on. Right. Um, June 24th, the tropical storm Andrea was out in the central Atlantic ocean. Um, it was the first named Atlantic storm. It was very short lived

[00:54:08] June 24th, 25th. There was the urban fire. This was in the United Arab Emirates. Um, it was a contained construction fire, not a big deal. Just lets you know, you know, you got to be prepared for anything. Even if you think you're not in a fire area, you never know what the guy's building the house next door might do. Right. June 24th flooding landslides in Venezuela. Um, national emergency

[00:54:35] was declared 4,700 people displaced, but no deaths from that event. Thank goodness. June 25th to July 5th, volcanic eruption of the great Sitkin mountain up in Alaska and the Lusian islands. So that wait till you guys hear these volcano numbers. It's insane. June 25th to July 1st, volcanic eruption in

[00:54:58] Indonesia, minor ash fall. Um, so we're just looking at, um, they actually have clove plantations out there, which is interesting. So coconut and clove is grown in that area. So they're, they're watching that, um, tornado EF2 and an EF1 hit Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and Providence road Island. Unfortunately, two people lost their life. 300,000 people were without damage. Um, the EF2 was near new Alexandria, Pennsylvania.

[00:55:28] And two EF1 tornadoes came down in Providence area. Um, and then unfortunately we had that loss of life from that event. June 28th to July 5th, we had wildfire events out in California. It's getting hot and dry and guys, just because like you're not in the area this year, if go back and watch the wildfire episode, because everybody needs to think about it this year. There's going to be so much debris

[00:55:55] that is being created by these storms, right? And, uh, it is just fuel, fuel, fuel, fuel. So be on alert for wildfire this year. Um, then the wolf fire, 2,400 acres, 30% contained juniper fire, 689 acres, 30% contained the lake fire, 485 acres, 25% contained. So guys, high wildfire. We're back up

[00:56:21] into a preparedness level of three at this time. June 28th, a 6.6 magnitude earthquake hit in the South Atlantic. It's not around land, but it is a deep, uh, deep hit onto our planet. Usually we get other earthquakes that come out from those events. So we're going to stay heads up. June 28th to 29th,

[00:56:44] EF2 tornado, EF3 tornado, South Dakota, and Southern Minnesota. Um, significant crop damage from those events. Two people were injured. The EF3 hit near Clear Lake, South Dakota, destroyed a home there. Five tornadoes, including an EF2 near Altmont, the EF3 near Clear Lake, uh, EF2 and Kadota, South

[00:57:06] South Dakota. Sorry if I just slaughter your town name, by the way. Like try and know them all and live in Texas. Like you think you got it in Texas and you're wrong. They say it totally different. June 28th to 29th, tropical storm Berry, um, the, off the Bay of Campeche, Mexico. Two people died in

[00:57:29] that one. Uh, flooding in Quintana, Ru. I know I killed that one. Um, maize crops hit, fruit crops hit from that event and it is just active out there in the Pacific right now. So heads up everybody. June 29th, 2025, Hurricane Flossie. Supposed to be a cat four storm in the Eastern Pacific near Mexico again.

[00:57:59] Um, no confirmed deaths from that event. It was minimal offshore storm that really kind of petered out and turned. Second major hurricane of the year though. July 30th to 5th, another earthquake swarm. This one is over by India. So we had Pakistan hit with that earthquake swarm. We have Japan hitting with that earthquake swarm. Now we have India hitting with the earthquake swarm. So we have a lot of stress

[00:58:25] going on right now. I'm watching these swarms because, um, it's usually a precursor when things start moving like that. It could just be released in energy. We don't see something big afterwards, but it can be that like settling before it actually moves. Um, impact on coconut rice farming. July 1st to 5th. We're into July now. Wildfires, uh, the Bird River fire, the Red Earth East complex,

[00:58:50] the Red Lake 12 fire in Manitoba, Alberta and Ontario, Canada. So, um, the North part of the United States can start looking forward to seeing smoke again. I know my dad was getting it, um, up there in Michigan. Uh, no confirmed deaths from the wildfires, but definitely damage to graze land, potential crop damage out there.

[00:59:12] Um, the, the Bird Fire and that they go in hectares. So, uh, 226 hectares on that fire. Red Lake was 195,000 hectares. That one's crazy. All of those fires are out of control. There's no contamination on, or, uh, no, um, containment. Thank you. No contaminant. There's a lot of contamination.

[00:59:38] Yeah. Yeah. I mean, you see numbers like that. I mean, 18,289, uh, uh, 89 hectares out of control. That's like, yeah. And the 195, that's like 300,000 acres on fire right now up there. So you're definitely going to be seeing some smoke up north. July 2nd and 3rd, Corona hole stream, a G1 geomagnetic

[00:59:59] storm hit. Um, this one caused the G1 storm, solar speeds, peeking out on that, but no radio blackouts, that kind of thing. Earthquake in Tibet and China, that was a 6.8, pretty big quake there. Um, they need to be aware of aftershocks potentially coming July 3rd to 5th. This is the Texas hill country

[01:00:25] flooding. Horrible loss of life there. Catastrophic event, um, damage to obviously the ranches and the loss of property, the devastation to the area. Um, just insanity. Um, I really encourage you guys to help out if you can. July 3rd to the 5th flooding in China. Um, five deaths, three missing,

[01:00:52] you know, that was a pretty serious event. If we're getting, um, that kind of news out of China, severe damage to rice and wheat crops in the region, a red alert has been issued. Um, and they are evacuating people from that event. That's still ongoing. July 3rd, we had another solar eruption. It is not earth facing. July 4th, tropical storm Chantel hit in the Atlantic coast.

[01:01:22] Southern United States. No confirms death, minimal impact, um, minimal impact, minor flooding from that event. Very short lived as well. It seems like they're just kind of getting revved up. July 4th, there was a 6.0 earthquake in the South Atlantic ocean near Chile. Again, another deep sea event. We keep our eyes on those because those have a ripple effect. July 4th, 6.3 hits Tonga. Again,

[01:01:49] another deep quake. That's three within just a few weeks there. Um, so definitely we have to stay vigilant because wait till you see these, the, uh, volcano numbers. July 4th, tornado event, EF2 hit where in China. Very, very rare. Right? I know. It's just the same, you know, kind of us, but they usually,

[01:02:16] they don't have the crosswind section that we get here in the United States to really pump out those tornadoes. So they don't usually have tornado events. Um, so it is very rare. We had one there. Um, July 4th, the 5th wildfires in Greek, Greece, and Turkey, likely damaging to the olive groves, grazing lands. Um, it's heat wave fueled. So it's definitely because it's so hot over there.

[01:02:42] Earthquake, a 4.0 in the Dominican Republic. That area has been taking more earthquakes. No impacts from that. They're kind of used, uh, to seeing that type of earthquake activity. Now for the volcano numbers, I know you guys all the waiting for the volcano numbers. Let me get back over here and just check out our, our chat. Alrighty. So very, very, I've been doing this for years, recording these volcanoes.

[01:03:11] Um, I used to do it weekly. Now I'm doing it monthly. So rarely do I see a major eruption. I think the last one was when, um, crack a towel, when an eight crack towel, that's the child erupted for the first time since it's been building back up. They put it up as a major eruption. They put one up for today.

[01:03:36] It's Lua Tobey in Flores, Indonesia. It is having a major eruption. That's your 10,000 foot ash plume going up in there. Oh no, it was Tonga when Tonga was erupting. Um, that's when I saw the major eruption. So, um, this is pretty big event going on right now. Then we have 38 volcanoes actively erupting, 40,

[01:04:01] 40 showing minor activity, 25 showing unrest. So you guys are like, Oh, what does that mean? Does that mean anything? 104 volcanoes active on our planet right now. I've been recording for like four years now, the volcano numbers. And I've never seen them that high ever to have, you know, 39 actively erupting with 40 showing minor activity, backing it up with the 25 at unrest

[01:04:32] off the chain. It's crazy. I don't, we got to just keep an eye on it. I thought like we saw it tick up. We saw it tick up to like 98, 99. This has been months long of like the uptick. Right. And I was like, Oh, we're finally at a hundred. That's something special. Now we're at 104 earthquakes showing activity on the planet. That's, that's just interesting. You know,

[01:04:55] it's on the move. And, um, with the pole shift, the interior of our planet spinning faster inside, our days are actually going quicker, but it's like microseconds. You'd never notice it. Um, Oh, I feel it. Do you? Where's the time go? I'd say that every day. I wanted it to happen when Biden was in office, right? But now, I mean, we can slow back down. That'd be fine. But you can bet

[01:05:22] our magnetics and the minerals in that know what's going on. So interesting. Okay. So quick, quick geeking out on it. Earthquakes 2.0 and above. Um, for May, we capped out with 18,977 earthquakes for the month. That actually came down from the month before that. And in June, we actually down ticked again. So even

[01:05:49] though the volcanoes are still up, they're letting off all the pressure. Yeah. Yeah. We actually down ticked in earthquake activity again to 18,881. The, in May, there was 16 quakes that were 6.0 or bigger. And in June, there was only six. Hey, that's one of those, one of those numbers you could read either

[01:06:12] way. Starts with a one, and then to the one. But yeah. Um, so July, so far, we've got the one quake, that's a 6.0. Um, and we're just in the very beginning about 30 quakes that are no 5.0. So it'd be, it'll be interesting to see what our numbers look like this month. Um, as far as wildfire preparedness in the United States, like I said, this year,

[01:06:39] you guys gotta be on it. I don't care where you are. Um, there's so much fuel down. Um, we have seven, we're at a preparedness level three, which means we're not on super high alert, but we're getting there. Um, seven new large active fires, 81 total for a total of 4,006, 462, 144 acres. Only one of

[01:07:04] those fires is contained out of 88. One is contained. Um, Alaska is number one on our list. They have 59 active fires for a total of 261,000 acres. None of those fires are contained. California's number two on the list with six active fires, 74,223 acres, three new ones. But I've been really, um, proud

[01:07:33] of the way California is throwing down on the fires, uh, this year. So, um, that it's hoping to keep the numbers down. Let's just hope they can keep that up. Uh, New Mexico wildfires. There's three burning 49,000 acres. And then Utah's coming in on number four with one fire, 34,942 acres. So there you go. Change in earth news.

[01:08:03] Hey, I looked up your, uh, I, I grokked your, uh, air conditioner death rates versus gun homicides. Right. So it said 63 per million heat related deaths in Europe in 2022 at 54 per million gun homicides in America. See, you're more likely to get killed. Die without a earth, without a, um,

[01:08:29] air conditioner. Yeah. Then you are from gun activity here. Yeah. We'll see that's that called out on some of the main champs. Uh huh. Why don't you not worry about our guns and go buy them some AC. Right. Put some of your attention in over there. Who would have thought? I know, man, it's crazy. It's crazy. Changing earth. You just don't know. You don't know. Gotta be ready. Gotta be prepared.

[01:08:58] Alrighty. So, um, man, um, prayers, like I said, everybody over in, uh, Texas and honestly, everybody's still re rebuilding from all of these disasters. You know, my worst fear is that we have, um, a series of catastrophic disasters that's across the whole, um, across the whole United States,

[01:09:24] right? If we get hit in multiple areas all at once, that's when we're in big trouble. So, um, we need to just stay vigilant, stay prepared, prepared communities. We'll be able to help each other out. All right. Well guys, thank you for coming out. Everybody, um, being so active in the chat. That's always so much fun.
