NY's crazy weather & earthquake

[Ayla ny]

first we have four days of 80-90 plus weather in mid-April... and then this morning an earthquake wakes me up. yes, an earthquake in NY! (sounds like a movie of the week lol) now they are talking snow on Monday! very bizarre.

we upstate New Yorkers are used to blizzards and ice storms... but the past few years have thrown some new problems our way. three years ago a tornado ripped through my area and two years ago a microburst (I had never even heard of this weather phenomenon until I was hit by one) destroyed thirteen trees on my property and sent the top 20 ft of one of them through my neighbor’s deck.

I don’t know if I am ready jump on the ‘it’s the greenhouse effect!’ bandwagon but it does make me wonder why this little area of the world has been acting so strangely.

Ayla, sweetie! How far from it were you? I was 15 miles from the epicenter! See related thread. http://www.ticklingforum.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=12763

Yep, we've been getting some weird shit lately. 30 degrees one day, 82 the next...ice storms...earthquakes, you name it! Do you think it's the high concentration of ticklephiles here?

Oh, and by the way Ayla...did you catch the awesome Northern Lights early this morning, or are you too far south? It was like sheets of electric blue lightening going from one horizon to the other! It is said that we can expect similar shows all week.😎

They're predicting snow and freezing rain on Monday for Connecticut...It was 95 degrees out just 2 days ago!

It's a good thing we're not f*cking up the planet or anything, eh?😀

 

[Ayla ny]

Dave, I missed the light show. I don't know if I am too far south (almost an hr north of Albany) but I will be looking for it now! I knew there had to be an up side to this lol.

as for your 'high concentration of ticklephiles' theory... could be that all that laughter is making an awful lot of carbon dioxide... maybe we should each plant a tree? 🙂

i think i might join him in that ark if the weirdness continues lol.....geez earthquake,odd temps we only see in july if we're lucky (in good ol buffalo,anyway).....anybody wanna join me in the ark??? 😛

I'd like to, but I guess it all depends on what type of animals are on there 🙄 . The ark seems like an attractive alternative to a trailor.

 

[giggleygirl25]

it'll be me,myself and i and my ever faithful canine companion....of course EVERYBODY is welcome 😉 😀

WOW

That's just craziness!!!
Temps varying 60 degrees in a matter of a couple of days? Earthquakes?
Wicked cool, I'm sure, but....I'll gladly take hurricane season coming round here for now. Good luck up there y'all!

Maybe this Southern heat really is ablessing!!
