Yesterday evening, a magnitude 5.8 earthquake led a swarm of quakes off the Oregon coast or roughly 165 miles northwest of Eureka, California. While a tsunami is not and wasn't expected, it's a significant event for the region.

A earthquake swarm is rattling Idaho, with multiple quakes up to magnitude 3.9 reported near Spencer over the past 48-72 hours.
These are small earthquakes; but there has been a swarm of them. While, most people won't notice it, but people near the epicenters probably did. Did you feel them?

Firefighter/first responders are heroes for trying to keep the public safe.
Firefighters do an AMAZING job containing wildfires. Can't thank them enough.
Let's hope the firefighters contain the fire enough to save the ancient McKinley sequoia grove in California before the fire reaches there.

Looks like there may have been a rare Nevada tornado near Lone Mountain (very close to Las Vegas) on Friday night!
It's possible that breeze interactions + a decent amount of vorticity may have caused this possible extremely rare tornado/landspout.

You know it's sad that, that I have to say "fund and staff the NWS & NOAA".
It's also sad that I have to debunk weather conspiracies like "geoengineering is creating tornadoes and hurricanes" that isn't true.
Yet here we are. All agencies involving the weather should be funded/staffed. Period.
