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. Hello, and welcome back to the Changing Earth Podcast. This is episode number four seventy nine. I think this is the Mark Show. And so we're good doing a monthly, monthly update. Oh my gosh, there's so much Changing Earth news. So kitchen, what's up? It's up y'all. Oh my goodness. So God, like our green room, we just like sit are out a talk forever before we even oh we got to start. Oh yeah, I know. I was like, we got to actually do this. So we're just gonna have a couple of hours of recorded combo going on here, lots of ketch up to do when I don't get to. See your Yeah, we were Texas stuff all week long. But it's good. It's always good. That's always so much better. Yep. So wow, like we were saying, there's just there's just too much. Wow. I mean, I'm just floored. We could go all day on political staffing. Goodness, so as we could, and I'm sure it's been the conversation around many tables of the audience. So today we're going to do a show on staying focused on your family, on your do items like wow, you. Could just because I was. I was so focused I went to a meeting a week early. Whoops, yep, that's what happens. So much going on, you know. Oh I just don't even know. So I struggle a lot with that because I just have so many hats on it. Yeah, So let's do a little Change in Earth catchup. Uh. Season one is the remix is airing. If you haven't chicked it out, it's pretty dark cool, brought it up to snuff. If you haven't subscribed to the new YouTube channel, Changing hyphen Earth, please do so 're that one has the potential to be monetized and really get us the push we need to get the project to Hollywood. So if you haven't subscribed to it, please go over there to YouTube Changing Earth and check it out. Subscribe and then you'll get all the new episodes as they're uploaded. I tend to do like the premiere and stuff for them every week. Also, if you've. Read my stuff, please head on over to Amazon drop me a review. That would be great. Again, we're trying to get the pushes there so that everybody knows how great the Turns in Earth series is and we can get some investors to invest. In the series and getting into the TVs series. So if you head on over to Amazon, drop me a review, that would be great. If you've heard my books, you've read my books. I really appreciate everybody who goes and takes time to do that. It makes just this huge difference in the long run on all the sales numbers and things like that over. At Amazon, So please do that. Last on the list, I would always talk about Prepper camp tickets. Prepper Camp tickets are available, they're ready now. But we do have a wildfire over in that area, so guys, we're gonna need your prayers that has quickly put out. Those people have been through enof not you know, specifically the Orchard Lake camp round with that surrounding area has been through a lot and definitely don't need a wildfire ripping through the area, So please pray for. Six or something like that. Yeah, they had a grip on it. I saw that because they didn't even make the weekly numbers this week. Surprisingly enough on Nebraca Carolina, yes. They are, which is weird. So let's just everybody says some prayers. It's my gut feeling that there's some underground stuff going on and wait till you see these earthquake numbers and what's going on with our planet. So everybody just stay really vigilant. Wildfires used to be something that like, oh wow, maybe if you're you know, on in Texas or you're in California, you gotta worry about the wildfire's Montana that kind of thing. But oh, that's not going to happen here. Hey man, things are happening everywhere, So make sure you have your go bag ready, make sure you're practicing the five minute evacuation. Five minutes goes by really fast, especially when you're standing there a stare at your house being like what am I gonna take with me? And well, you better know what you're taking with you way before that. Moment ever comes. So just a tiny bit of practice with your family, it. Goes a long way, long way. I know because I've. Been through there multiple times and we the five minutes hard. It's hard, marked to hit well. Once you practice it a couple of times, it's actually not that tough. You'll know where everything is. I'm just now that would be my recommendation. I'm probably too. Slack where I'm at, a little bit. Too comfy here, so I know, you know, but I've got some some stuff spread around now that would have to be gathered and whatnot. So I'm I'm just as much to blame as everybody else. So make sure you got figure out that five minutes five minutes out, grab your important stuff as far as your paperwork, titles, house deed if you have it, any kind of insurance documents, your birth certificates, since you're all be in the same area where you can grab it easy and go with your whether your go bags or your guns, all your stuff. Okay, So there's my rant. Say some prayers, say some prayers. All right, So let's get into staying focused on home, right. Yeah, it's so many distractions right now. Yeah, it's a five dimensional chess game going on on every level of anything right now. And I feel like everybody's just been holding their breath, right, I don't know. Yeah, we went from being positive to a lot of positive to that were like, come on, start seeing some fruit from this. There's a lot of blockades up and they're really trying hard to make you know, Trump and bands look like idiots. So that's my opinion on that one. But you know, my faith is gonna lie with the with the Lord first and then but this the way they're rapid firing all this change, it really does require some faith in the man that we. Voted for as well. And that's stuff we've been hurt. We're I would call we have some serious PTSD going on in the United States for as far as trust goes on both sides, you know, nobody really can trust anybody, and right now things are just going too fast is to keep a grip on it. So it does require a little bit of faith and the people that we elected actually gets the job done and follow through. And there's we're so our culture is so used to want that instant gratification. Yes, so you know, like we're you know, we fought the battle, we got the election, we won, and now we want to you know, see all the spoils. But it's still continuous battle every day. Yeah, and they're just I think the reason why they're doing so much like that is because they there's not you know everything that every move that they make is litigated. There's blockades up against them, there's the deep corruption within the government that's trying to be stren right, so if they can just like I always had the analogy like there's so many snowballs rolling down the hill that even if you were the best person in the world and you could stop one of those snowballs and be like, yeah, we stopped the snowball, well there's like eighty other snowballs rolling down the hill at the same time. Right, What was that crazy TV show that it was like the Obstacle Course and they hit all those different like oh x I think it was oh my good and you were like trying to jump over stuff and fall in the pool and all this stuff. It's yeah, and they had the American gladiators. Yeah. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. It's like. It's almost like Trump brought in that whole cabinet so he could start pushing every single snowball at once. So yeah, exactly absolutely has to work. He can't do once he's because they'll just swattered away. Right. He has to keep them on their defense because a minute that machine takes over. It's it's so much harder. Yeah, yeah, exactly. So I still have faith there. You know, I've never been like one hundred percent in on Trump, but I do like the things he says. I do respect the way he came out of being shot. I do respect the fact that he's never drank alcohol and never done drugs, and he's never been in like you know, those just really nasty type of situations that we're seeing nowadays. So I tend to respect his moral values more, which I guess gives me that trust and gives me a little bit of faith that he is really pushing for the right reasons. I just have to believe that anybody who said the same thing since I was one years old, you know that I don't want to be president, but if it gets bad enough that I have to, then I would, you know. And now we're there. It kind of reminds you that were founding fathers, where I mean they gave up, you know, personal fortunes like Musky Trump, but I mean they'd have been better off not to get involved in the political scene and work work everything from the back offices and you know, the boardrooms and the cigar. And once you enter them. You know, there's just so much pressure on top of that, you know, of everything, everybody criticized you, every little. Move you make, step you take, movement you make. You know, I had shared that video of the Trump Lensky interview that yea, they analyzed all this the body language from it, and by the end of it, you're just like, oh, yeah, this guy came in with a completely different agenda, not ready to listen, not planning to do anything he had told them previously. And so when you you know, when you watch it on that you can see what's happening, but they spin it every which way. So you're just. There's so much information to try to digest to make your own opinions. Yes, yeah, so so many distractions, right, and beyond that, I thought the balance, the idea of talking about balance with your family and whatnot was great because without all this political stuff going on, without all the stresses from our planet going on, you know, a full time job and I have a family and. There's still you know, cooking and laundry and repairs, right everything that happens and everything else. Dedication to prayer, got to make time for God every day. That's got to be a priority. I'm also an author producer, so I'm producing show writing scripts, doing all this stuff at the same time. Plus I practice MMA and train my body about five days a week, have the small homestead, and I like to sleep. You know you don't. You can't prove that by me. Yeah, that says the one that was up at four o'clock in the morning and woke up this morning. Uh think you just catch it up with me. I just can't sleep all Oh, I was just up all night long. Yeah, yeah, but I slept a little this morning. So I would like to kind of think of myself as somebody who knows what it's like to juggle. And I have been. I have been made myself so busy before, and I say it specifically that way. I have made myself so busy right with. My goals and my dreams and my bullshit me me me, and passing my husband in the hallway like we don't even know each other anymore, you know, and tapping out of my kid's life that I can tell you it is important to find that balance or else. You're going to lose everything everything. So that's really really great. So I did some rules. Number one on My rules was hard work God. First, if you don't make time for the Lord studying his word, He's not going to make time for you. And you would much rather walk in his blessings than not. So I do all this stuff, How do I fit in time for prayer? Right? I really like. The halo app Oh yeah. The Bible in a year, Father Mike is awesome. So when I'm doing my morning walks, I listened to a half hour of a Bible read. It's awesome, and uh, you know, I just listened to it. I think I'm going on my third year again, So like I've already listened to it one year or two years, and now I'm going on my third. Right those audio years ago. Yeah, you know, you just get so much out of it. You get to hear the word. Father Mike's great. He does great analysises and really just teaches you how to live and think in the Word and be there. The other thing that my family does is after we eat, we read from the Bible. Yeah, so we'll read like one section of Daniel. We're just finishing up Daniel and a song or something like that, you know, so and everybody in the family reads it and then we can talk about it reflect together. Christians always into studying, you know, oh well it was it the Romans or this or that, and because he's into the wars and whatnot. So it's a great way to not only have God in your life but also make your family a part of it together. And that of course, if you have a church that you love to go to, you know, church on Sunday, that kind of thing. I just haven't found our fit here in Texas. Yeah, it's a challenge. It is. It is. I grew up in a really small town church and I haven't. It's not that. Since it's just I grew up Roman Catholics, so I do like the Lutheran is very much the same, but not Catholic, and so I do like the ceremony of that service. And a lot of times out here it just feels like what band do you like the best? Yeah, that's what I haven't. It's like I didn't come to hear a band. Yeah, I can't love the music and it's cool, but it's I feel like it's too much slash. Yes, yeah one like lights going and everything. I was like, oh boy, you know, so okay. Number two on my list is remember, without your support network, you're nothing. So you just heard what. I do during the day. If I didn't have Rock behind me, you know, he's just a great father and really cares about the boys and what's happening in their life. And helps making dinner and with laundry and everything. We're a team. We're one hundred percent of team. And if I didn't have that and my boys behind me, there's no way I could do what I do at all. So the minute that you get so busy that you don't take time to say thank you and you don't take time to listen to their day and find out what's going on with them and really connect with them. I like when you ask them questions, actually listening to their response and caring about how their day went, not just like thinking about what you have to do next. That's a bad moment. And that's the moment you're either growing together or you're growing apart with every relationship in your life. So the minute you start growing apart, if that's somebody you don't want to grow apart from, you better figure out how to grow together again. I think that's some of the value of doing like the Daily Bible study read prayer or whatever. Having that quiet time, Yeah, it brings out a lot more instead of all the distractions bounding through your head bounce around. Right, it's not like, oh, let's scarf down dinner so we can get to. The next thing. Yeah, and you're trying to juggle three things. But when you're actually just reading out the Bible or you know, thinking about the versal, it slows you down and it lets you start concentrating. Right. And that's why, like the Lord gave us the sabbath, because we weren't made to be slaves and we weren't made to work seven days a week. So we just have to keep in mind that there is a point to that rest and you deserve that rest. And that's something that's hard for me, so. Because I would just go, go go. Everyone has ups and downs in their life, and if you're not there for them when they need you, they're not going to be there for you either. So choose who you care about and be there for them, make sacrifices. It's important. We like to believe that we're like, Oh, it's all about me, It's the Me show in America. No, once you have a family, you have a spouse, you have a serious responsibility to that person and you're gonna need to make some sacrifices and so are they, and that's what it's all about. Okay. Number three on my list is don't lose track of yourself, right. You got to take care of you too. You can't just be like running from everything to everywhere, which is one of the reasons why we went to monthly podcasts because I was just trying to do too much all at once. So make sure. You're engaging in activities that better yourself. So obviously I'm an exercise freak. I love working out. I love saying self defense Ready, I'm never gonna be a victim. Ever, I don't care how old I get. I'm gonna keep training because I love being able to teach other people that, yeah, you can still defend yourself. You know, you're good at least you couldn't die try hand, you know. But also, if you're not really into exercising, you're like, this is really not my gig, then learn learn, learn, teach yourself a new skill, do something paint, you know, do something for you that you always wanted to do that takes you to that meditative space and maybe it is meditating. But for me working out, you know, I'm not thinking about anything else. So much. But yeah, I think we need to get to times when we just focus on a project or the event item as opposed to trying to handle so many things at once. Yeah, so you can like stay in that space. It sounds kind of productive because you feel like you have to get all this stuff done, but it and thinking if you say, okay, one day is going to be the day that I work in whatever the yard, then you got to work in the yard on one day and you get it done as opposed to only getting a tenth of the yard done and then bounce around something else. And then that zaps your mental energy as well, because you're you get home, you walk into the house and you see all the stuff that isn't done right, and it just toulls the energy right out of you. And I was like, it's just so overwhelming, and then everything else is so overwhelming. Yeah. Yeah. This winter was cold, cold, cold, and we had planned to be a lot further along on our new chicken coop build out, but we're getting there. It's gonna be sick when it's done. I'll put up some photos. We're getting there. We got the pad all done because out here. Okay, so a little bit of a squirrel. Look a look at our episode. I focus and I'm squirreling. But you know how we talk about like things that you've done, like gardening that you've done in one area. When you move, it's different, right, Well, even with raising chickens out here, there's so many fire ants, right and like one of my chickens was killed because of fire ants because like once the ants find out that there's like food source there, you're giving them scraps. All the time. Then you're attracting the ants in. And then also the mice out here like burrow under the ground and they will create these holes right by the chicken feeders and everything. So and the chickens will kill them. But you know they're not always sitting right on the feet or whatnot. So what we're doing is we're doing all concrete pad for their like living area with out that we be able to go to grassy area you know where we let them outside. Well, that way we can hose it down. The ants can't get to them. It's easier to control, you can't. You know, mice don't dig up there. So it's an investment to get that pad done. But in the long run, the chickens will be healthier for it because they're not on our threat so much. So we had to do that before we we went any further with adding more birds to the flock and whatnot. So we're getting close now, and it's gonna be cool. It's gonna be cool. But there you go, like, you've got to be ready to adapt and change when you're in a new area to the new threats, to the new environment. And boy are we gonna need to do a lot of that changing the earth news. This is buddy goodness. Mm hmm. Okay, a couple more notes that I want to make, so rule number four. The more you do, the more you do, the more you do, the. More you do. Right. Yes, my mom used to tell me the more you read, the more you read, the more you read, the more you read, right, And it's true, like the more you read, the better you get at it, and everything wills the same thing with what you do. If you spend fifteen minutes a day on a scale, by the end of a month, you are going to be really close to being a master at it. Just fifteen minutes a day. It's incredible, So there is time to do everything that you want to. Trust on that one, but make sure you're balanced. Make sure you're balancing things and not losing focus on what's really really important. So you need a game plan and you need to stay out of the scrolling. I think the game plan is crucial. You can't just sleep through the day, right, Yeah. I have this, this, this, this, this, this, this this. I'm just like, oh, it's all on my mind. I write lists and I have notebooks, and so what's on the list for today? Boom boom boom. Once I get those things taken care of, that I can work on something. I actually want to work on. It usually my audio drama or spending time with my family. So the other My last note is a quote from The Chosen. Matthew says, with all this noise that's going on, it's nice to know that I only have to do one thing, wake up and follow him. Having Jesus in your life will calm your mind and give you focus, and give you direction and give you take down your anxiety levels and your fear because you can trust that you know you're on the plane with Jesus at the wheel. You're in the car with Jesus at the wheel. You can trust that he's there driving your car along. And all you got to do is make sure you're doing your part to navigate. You know your your one. Task to move the whole thing from. Yeah, alrighty, you ready for changing your news? All right? It has turned on the feat. Yeah, hang on for this firm. You're listening here to pay again, your paying us back. Just stability, food storage and preservation are at the heart of self reliance. Our sponsor, packed Fresh USA features made in America products. I shot pack freshusa dot com from Ilar bags and oxygen absorbers for my home food storage. But they do all kinds of products. Go to packfreshusa dot com and check out their Prepper University and ordered their box set of Mylar bags and oxygen absorbers. It's a seven mili one hundred pack of my Lar bags, oxygen absorbers, labels, and even a food storage. God dream Survive Thrive. Yes is changing Earth news. Okay, changing Earth news for February twenty twenty five, So it's gonna be a big recap today. It was pretty steady solar month. We had a big coronal hole. It was like gigantic, and. Other than that, there wasn't too much like CME activity with some woolstorms. I've been hearing more and more stuff that they've actually found life on Mars that like they've known about it for a while. There's lichens and stuff up there. So I think that's. We're going to be doing some really cool stuff with space at the end of my lifetime here, so excited about that. Okay, February first to the eighth, So listen to some of these earthquake numbers. On the first there was five hundred and twenty eight, so if you recollect four hundred, there's a lot of two point. Zero or more per day. Four hundred's a lot. Five hundred and twenty eight on the first, second, seven hundred and thirty five, on the third, eight hundred and forty, and on the fourth eight hundred and forty two. Okay, insanity, it's crazy. I've just never seen you know how long I've been doing this. It's just really that's the worsh Brazil has been having major flooding. This is Brazil's flooding time of year, but they're having big, big floods. We're gonna see. Them all month long down in Brazil, same area as last year, pretty much Tunsania, flooding, sweeping away vehicles and homes, and even the USA West Virginia got hit on the first massive flooding and then they had the frozen ground, so that water nowhere to really like sink into Australia. Southeastern Australia Victoria area, they had multiple bushfires at the beginning of the month, and then in comes the rain up north as well. Northeastern Australia. They had the worst flooding up there they've had in sixty years, six months worth of rain in three days. Ye two dead, one missing, lots of evacuations, Sicily, Italy, all the islands like the Mediterranean are just getting totally flooded right now, a lot of them. Buenos Aires in Argentina. They're having these huge windstorms with massive amounts of hail coming down, trees down, property damage, roofs being ripped off, very close to. Holling type stuff there. And then we had forest fires start up in Chile, one hundred and fifty hackers, so that's like, you know, two sixty to eighty. Two hundred on acreage, so you know, that's like doubled up for acreage. Seven homes destroyed and Los Pollos. There's no injuries. But this is up in the mountains Spain. Southern French Spain had flooding, massive rains again if you remember, that area has already been wiped out once, like Valencia got hit it really really hard. So they've just been getting more and more rain there, which is again on that area of the Mediterranean, which is really interesting to show how much flooding's happening there. In Japan, they had four feet of snow fall in twelve hours, which broke its national record since it's been recording. Which is. I mean Japan, Japan, right, Argentina got hit again. Another violent storm comes through that. We're over to the. Fourth now maybe a flash flooding there. Death reported when a vehicle was swept away. Western Russia they had a cyclone that brought in heavy snow and win forty five mile an hour winds. Five foot of snow comes down. South Africa they had a big windstorm, rain, trees just coming down, lots of property damage, roof ripped off again, same type of stuff. One person died in that storm on the fifth seven hundred and fifty six earthquakes on the sixth, seven hundred and sixty seven earthquakes, So our numbers are just still just push and pushing. California, two people died in Sonoma, California. The atmospheric rivers came in at the same time. We're talking ninety mile an hour when power outages of all that going on, landslides. The bonus was at least it wasn't southern California on the burn zones. So I mean. Then Argentina again that after they've already had these two flooding incidents, then they get a month's worth of rain. In eight hours, adding to the whole democle. Same thing in Brazil they had seven point eight inches in twenty four hours. Seven people died. Landslides and electrocution. Gotta have your waiters, Like, would you get electrocuted if you had waiters on the rubber. Try? Right? I don't know, geez, I don't want to either. If you walk through this water, man, it would be crazy sauce. Okay, but have you ever wore waiters out into the water and not get away? Yeah? Fair, Yeah, it always comes in outside. Yeah. Well that was when I wrote after disaster with the raft. You know what, whenever you're on a raft, you did at the least a little splash or boat right. Okay, So Jordan, Saudi Arabia they had a big dust storm up there, thirty thirty seven mile an hour winds. Northern Ecuador is also getting flooding. I know one of our listeners has family there and Great Sancherini. Thousands of earthquakes Sancherini, we just don't know if it's gonna blow or not. That is a super volcano that is capable. Of doing some big, big damage to our planet. Five point two was the most powerful quake so far, and so they evacuated that whole island. It's a huge tourist attraction. But there's actually this. Volcanic field just north of Sancherini that could also be some of the earthquakes are coming from there as. Well, so it could be like all. New volcanic eruptions as well, which would be crazy. But there's definitely something happening over there and can't be. Flag Ray is also over there, another big volcano that can do a lot of damage. I've been making a lot of noise, so it's definitely eyes on that region. Still on the six we also had violent storms that hit Tennessee. Two tornadoes came in, two people died, others were injured in that incident. That was an EF two and an EF one that came in. EF one also hit Kentucky, did a lot of property damage over there. So then in Japan, we're talking complete standstill due to the snow accumulation in the central part of Japan. One person dead, twenty eight others injured because you just it's just so much snow you can't do anything. So then flooding in northern Iran. Thousands of people evacuated there as the rivers breached the banks. Canada had this multi vehicle pile up because of this huge snowstorm the hit Quebec. One person died, eleven people injured. Indonesia's always getting socked. They had unusual tidal waves come in thirteen foot waves coming in off the ocean into their city and rain caused even more flooding there along with those by ways. In Bolivia they had heavy rain as well. Twenty three people have died there since November. Completely flooded, three hundred and thirty two homes gone, thousands of people evacuated. It's like you can see the pattern. These are unusual rainstorms are just just everywhere now in China because of the rain. They had a large landslide in she Chawan Province. One person dead, twenty eight missing, ten homes destroyed. Two people were saved out of that rubble. But now, like so much time has passed, they're really doubtful that they're going to be able to rescue anybody else out of there. So prayers for the family who lost, you know, the people there. Norther and I Ran. They now have a heavy snowfall that comes in. Northern Russia also had one, but like I Ran, I would think I Ran will be much more less likely to at this huge snowstorm than Russia. Severe blizzard sixty two mile an hour winds, zero visibility there in Russia. And then a seven point six earthquake at the Cayman Island. The Cayman Islands have. Been making more noise as late, and that's kind of an unusual earthquake spot. We don't usually see. Him a whole lot down there. So all right, so the ninth, let's get back to earthquake numbers ninth, six hundred and sixty eight earthquakes, tenth seven hundred and ninety one, the eleven one thousand, two hundred and fifteen earthquakes that were two point over bigger. That is insanity. The twelfth same thing. One one thousand, one hundred and twenty six. Earthquakes are two point over bigger. And then on the third you're like a record of how many I don't. Know, I don't know what the record is. That's a really good question. I've never seen numbers like this, like ever, thirteenth, nine and fourteen, So like, yeah, we had this massive Corona hole, and yeah, there wasn't a lot of like really big ones, you know, above a six point zero, but they were rocking. Let's see Philippines severe flooding. Five people died when their vehicle was swept away. Hundreds of the hectors of cornfields destroyed over their major agricultural damage. Two people dead again in Brazil and I Ran they had a huge pile up accident. Nine people were injured there because of the low tempts of the snow and the icy roads. Peru their rainy season. Because it is rainy season there hit hard crops, homes damaged. Two people died in that last storm that came through there. And then in Chile, like on the other side of the mountains, right intense heat one hundred and seven degrees fahrenheit. They had these huge wildfires go off multiple across the country in the central area there. One person did die, fourteen people were arrested in. Connection with those fires. So somebody actually out there setting some of those fires, which is sickly. Yeah. In Australia, New South Wales Victoria flooding, twenty one rescued, which last week heard you know they were burning, now they're flooding. Brazil hits again. We had a EF one near. Pensacola in Florida which left a trail of destruction, injured three people there. Spain, Southeastern Spain tornado, super unusual to happen in Spain. Got a tornado there. In Indonesia, the island Barley Island flooded. They had three point two feet of water, so they had to be evacuated. Italy at Narrups in Argentina, central western Argentina. So this is kind of over by Chile. Six hundred and eighteen thousand acres on fire, two people dead, hundreds of homes destroyed, worst fires in the last three decades, affecting two national parks. It's going to take over two hundred years to recover the forest that's being burned by these wildfires. So that's that's horrible. The Andes Mountains also have a lot of lithium in them, so you have to wonder. You know, I hate to wonder, but you do. Have to wonder. Seven point nine inches of rain in Ontario along with thirty seven mile an hour winds, and back to the United States, in Mississippi, they had a big tornado come through. It harmed businesses, homes, no deaths. Then on the thirteenth in Italy, two point five inches of rain in one hour on Alba Island, flooded homes. Then we have the atmospheric river line up with southern California, not good at all because now that everything was burned out. Now you're looking at landslides. So they had that all come through, big mess down in southern California. Plus their homeless population there is you know, if it's little moist, so I'm sure I'd love to be on that street. It's gross. On the fourteenth, we had a one thousand and thirty four earthquakes that were two point hour bigger. Northeastern Australia, they had cyclone Zellia hit. One hundred and thirty two. Mile an hour way and so that is a CAP four equivalent, but in cyclone, so spike. Cyclone spins backwards from what a hurricane does. Great Northern Highway had to close down and that cut off supplies to some areas because of that tropical cyclone. And Catalina and Greece two days of rain five point nine inches, just massive flooding through more people dead, two people died, thirty injured because this bridge collapsed because of all the flooding, and two miners were killed in a landslide there. Uruguay, here's a new one on our list from the fifteenth violent ninety three mile an hour golf ball side hail. Thirty four thousand acres of crops damaged in that storm in Uruguay. Sweden and ted snowstorm they had a ninety five car pile up, one hundred people injured, two people severely. Japan or China also had a big one hundred car pile up because visibility just got so low and people just kept coming over this hell and running into the pile. Everybody you back to the United States. Southeastern United States got hammered by the storm. Seven hundred thousand people out of power from New York to Alabama and little spots along the way. Hundreds of highways closed. Seventeen people dead in that storm, one person in Georgia, one in West Virginia, fifteen people in Kentucky in twenty four hours. There was one month of rain that came down in that system. So you can see, I'm really kind of concerned. Amount for Pack dam up north. I mean, I just talk about this all the time, but with the amount of earthquake ramp up that we're having and then the amount of these unusual rain storms that if Fort Pack went, I mean, the whole central bread basket of the United States is in trouble. So hopefully we get some of our money redirected at our own infrastructure. Right in Quebec, thirty eight inches highest total in history since nineteen forty one, not thirty yeah, thirty eight inches highest total since nineteen forty one. They just had two major storms come in so quickly. That's what made it so unusual. With fifty six mile an hour winds up there, the Rio Grande in Brazil. They had sixty two mile an hour winds down there, hail, hundreds of businesses and homes damaged in that hell storm. And then in the United States this isn't really a natural one, but in Detroit. Did you see the pictures of Detroit when they heavened like this, this water pipe exploded. Yeah, and then it just freezes because it's so old. It's like ninety people had to be rescued out of there and their homes are just uninhabitable because that was filled with water. That is from. Twelve or so. What was that movie where there was like that It's freeze day after tomorrow. Yeah, okay, one, but yeah, it's just like that. It was crazy. They say it was just old infrastructure. And twenty five earthquakes on the seventeenth. The numbers are still up there, still continue to be up there. There was a rare tornado down in South Africa. Northern Chile. They had heavy rainfall with flooding up there. So again you're looking at the situation where it's like one hundred and seven in central Chile and they've got all these wildfires going and just up north of that there's all this flooding happening. You know, we've seen this over and over and over again. Just the extremes are more and more amplified. Botswana they had a heavy rain, widespread flooding. Flash flooding killed seven. The dams are literally overflowing. Madagascar they had a severe storm. They're eleven people dead. South Africa and got hit again. This is southeastern Africa. Nine people lost their lives in that flooding incident at seven point two inches of rain in eight hours. Major infrastructure damage. Ecuador back on the flooding list. Northern Turkey that had intense snow, and Istanbul. But they you know, they have the mountainous area there, so I mean that's not so unusual. Twenty first, in twenty third, we're still looking at numbers eight hundred ninety five. Seven hundred and sixty one, seven hundred and twelve. At least they're coming back down. More snow falling in Japan, but the temperatures are expected to rise. Twenty two people killed in the Kentucky flooding. South Africa. Wildfires in Cape Town Table Mountain National Parks they have one hundred and forty acres. They're not huge, but it is one. Of their big national parks there. On the twenty seven six hundred earthquakes are two point zero or bigger. Afghanistan they had thirty nine people lose their lives in hal And flash flooding incident there. And then the twenty eighth six people died in Durban that's in Quasulu, Natal from flooding. India they had flash flooding. Causing damage and there was a six point one earthquake in in Paul as well. And then oh in northern Japan they start having the largest wildfire they've had in thirty right, so again you've like this huge snow instate and then wildfire is going on right there, and then we had everything that's going on in the Carolinas. As far as wildfires, Nebraska is actually burning pretty bad right now. They have two big fires going. It's fifty thousand acres on fire there in Nebraska, not contained at all. We're almost it's. Probably at fifty one thousand right now. Florida has a good wildfire going on one three hundred and fifty acres, and then Alabama's number three on the list with two wildfires at eleven hundred acres, so a lot more states on the wildfire list than I would expect to see, but most everything's in that you know, six hundred acre range, including North. Carolina right now. So for all of February we had twenty four thousand, five hundred and one earthquakes that we're two point zero or bigger. That's a seventy one percent increase from last month. That is a whole lot. I really was expecting not to see that. So anyway, as far as volcanoes erupting, well, we had thirty eight erupting last month. We still have thirty eight erupting. Okay, that sounds good, right, Yeah, minor activity forty showing minor activity. That's up to. From last week. So did they come out of the unrest category. No. Unrest category also went up by twenty or by two to twenty six. So we have one hundred and four volcanoes of volcanoes on our planet showing activity right now, which is. Way higher than I've ever seen before. And we're given all of the earthquake activity that we just had, I would expect to see more pretty quick. So, uh, it's gonna be interesting, right. It's always the planet against the people, which one's gonna right, the people stabilize a little bit. Mother Nature's like, yeah here, just insane. Those are crazy numbers. I've never seen like a thousand in a day. That Corona Hole was pretty massive. I would not be surprised if it was on like the same days. I don't mind them up when I'm researching, but I wouldn't be surprised because that Corona Hole was like it was like the sun was like eating itself or something. It was like the whole center of it. But nothing like you know that's gonna make big news like the earthquake in Turkey or you know, something of that nature. I guess that's the bonus. That would be the last thing they need. In southern California right now, would not just be. Ah right right, yeah, I guess your Hollywood there. Uh so, yeah, it's it's really getting interesting out there. We'll just have to one more month and we'll be back and we'll get to see what it what it did. But that's my prediction for the month. I think we're gonna see even more volcanic activity. Honestly, it hasn't stopped. It's been up for like what at least probably six months. How long have I been like, whoa, probably six months, I would say, all, but being up that high, I'll have to go back and check my notes. But that's a lot searched for your notes when you said the average is four hundred, because right after. That, yeah, it's true, we're like on the average, you know, if we see like four hundred and five on our own. But yeah, and now we've got eleven hundred. Yeah, honestly because I watched another program too to get some of my news, and she was recording the earthquake numbers, and so I went and double checked all of the earthquake numbers and I was just like, whoa, no, way, that's what the Volcanic Observatory is reporting too. Huh. It was like, oh, where are you getting your information from? You know, I'm a faction. I was like, whoa, Okay, yeah. All right, guys, Well, get on out there, head on over to Amazon, lead me review, head on over to YouTube, Changing dash Earth. Subscribe subscribe right what they say.

I mean it'll be. I was just talking to Rick and he had some some fruit trees that were starting to glove and he was very happy. Right, yeah, so ours always goes awful about now though, and then we'll have peaches in like April. It's really tough on the tree because we're gonna have those big wind events coming through.
