#physics #earthquake **Turkey strong ground motion** I'm having a tough time figuring this out, but this is PGV in the basin that dropped. A pulse of 120 cm/s is about as strong as you can get and no structure can stand against it.

#earthquake **Buffalo earthquake** Very tiny. It reflects a major fault under Hamilton. It is activated by a seep of lake water.

#physics #earthquake **Aftershocks** These aftershocks define the fault zone. There was only one big quake, and the second was an M6. You need more strong ground motion sensors to define the mechanics.

#physics #earthquake **The two nearly identical earthquakes looks to have a mechanism of first, one side dropping, and then the other.

**And the blog**

#physics #earthquake **Expanding basin** The whole place is a hot zone for earthquakes.

#earthquake **Turkey Tectonics** At the epicentre, we have extension as the Arabian plate pushes in.

#earthquake **Extension earthquake in Turkey** You can see very complex tectonics here. This was a shallow extension (basin) earthquake that would have sent out a wide swathe of lower frequency ground motion.

#physics #weather **Siberian cold pours down on Turkey** Not good.

Much better if the balloon exploded at the top.

**Celebration of Chinese balloons** Google has gotten into the swing of things.

**NERDOCHAT** When I win the lottery I'll put up this instance. Might be a while, since I don't buy lottery tickets.
**Welcome to Nerdochat** all things nerd all the time. Discussion groups:
The lifecycle of the nerd
The horror of prom
Turning 40

In the spirit of being 'clean', we will accept jeers from the influencers like "The world is getting warmer, nerds!' Just as in high school, we'll ignore them and retreat to the Library Club. Just like that club, we'll accept nerdo-girls, but we won't know what to do with them.... or each other.

#physics #weather **Gulf Stream has flipped to the north** Too long for here.

**End of reading, end of Google** Obviously, we are going to have the AI play Max Headroom on tiklytok.

#physics #weather **Full wind channel through Bering Str.** This pattern is now identical to the previous series of storms for California.

Blah, now I have to be responsible and not buy the Chinese toys I had lined up for the recession. :(

**Many apologies** A single balloon could not have the path selected because of the chaotic winds. However, if you launched hundreds of them, you might get lucky.

**Balloon down** Yeah, if it is just a stupid weather balloon, we'll never know.

I was vacuuming and decided that the huge fluffs of dog-bunnies were beneficial to trapping more harmful types of dust....
