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?

While, it's small -- a 3.3 magnitude earthquake occurred near Stockton, Kansas tonight. It's relatively rare, but it does happen. Most won't feel it, but some people may. Did you feel it?

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.

JUST IN: The Garnet Fire is now threatening the ancient McKinley sequoia grove in California. Awful situation. Please evacuate if told to do so.

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. #NVWX

WATERSPOUTS have been spotted over Lake Erie near Cleveland, Ohio. Boaters beware this morning though the evening hours! Conditions are favorable for waterspouts over the lake. #ohwx

Snowy scenes on Pikes Peak, Colorado this morning! Winter is slowly getting closer...

BREAKING: Evacuations underway in the Sunnyslope neighborhood of Jurupa Valley near Riverside, California for the Pyrite Fire which has burned more than 150 acres.

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.

BREAKING: 6-5 Fire has caused a lot of destruction/devastation in historic Gold Rush town of Chinese Camp in California, official says; homes and other buildings burned down. This is horrific!

Absolutely horrific. :( BREAKING: Several homes in flames in Chinese Camp, California as a wildfire known as the "6-5 Fire" continues to rapidly grow. The fire is at 2,900+ acres and growing.

California has been hit at least 10,000 lightning strikes today alone causing dozens of wildfires to flare up across the state. It’s going to get smoky across California and perhaps Nevada, Oregon and Arizona. This is the most lightning strikes in the state of California in one day since 2020.

Unfortunately, the town of Chinese Camp in California is being directly impacted by the "6-5 Fire" -- a 2,900+ acre wildfire. Several structures are now being impacted. Please evacuate if ordered.

Duluth Minnesota checking in!

If you live around Grand Marais or Grand Harbor, Minnesota or southwest Ontario, Canada -- it's possible the first snow/snowflakes of the season occurs on Thursday morning mixing in the rain. ❄️🌧️ Colder air continues to sink into the North Central U.S and this will expand eastward in coming days.

My timeline is full of pictures of Northern lights from last night/early this morning and that's a good thing. There has been a lot of negative posts through my timelines (Instagram, Threads etc). While, I didn't see the Northern Lights in person -- I'm glad to see positive posts on my timeline.

Wow! The Northern lights are visible near Isle Royale in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. (Photo via the Isle Royale National Park).

WOW!! Northern light show happening at the Twin Pine Cabins in Millinocket, Maine right now! (Photo via NEOC Starcam).

Reports of the northern lights being seen in New York and also a few reports of the northern lights being seen in northern Pennsylvania. Good luck tonight, everyone! The northern lights have already been reported in Maine, northern Pennsylvania and New York, as well as eastern Canada.

The Northern Lights are now visible near Twin Pine Cabins, Maine!! (Via NEOC Starcam).

Maine has a glow starting to show! Here we go! As it continues to get dark, the northern lights will likely become even more visible and beautiful. Here we go!!

Already reports of the northern lights visible across northern Europe. The Northern Lights are very possible after dark in the U.S and Canada (depending on weather and clouds) -- with at least G2 & G3 conditions likely. They may be seen at mid-latitudes. Get those cameras ready!

JUST IN: CME impact detected - Current Solar Wind Speed 646km/second. Coronal Mass Ejection impact to Earth is imminent. Here we go!

BREAKING: 5.7 magnitude earthquake strikes roughly 100 miles south of Kodiak City, Alaska. Tsunami NOT expected for Alaska, Hawaii, the U.S West Coast or British Columbia in Canada. Repeat, NO tsunami threat.

Death toll from Afghanistan 6.0 magnitude earthquake yesterday rises to over 800. At least 2,700 injured. Death toll expected to rise. Just like the U.S, especially the western U.S -- the Middle East is also prone to earthquakes. I know it's in the Middle East, but it's a terrible tragedy. 😔

Weather is cool -- when it's NOT destructive or deadly. Weather should NOT be politcalized. Weather will strike wherever it wants -- regardless of background or party. Weather should have as much data as possible. Weather should have warnings/watches. That's all. Fund the NWS, NOAA and FEMA.

BREAKING: The entire community of Fort Providence has been ordered to evacuate due to wildfires burning in the Northwest Territories of Canada. The community of roughly 700 people has been ordered to evacuate and are to relocate to Hay River.

Did you know this? On this day (8-31) in 1886: A magnitude 7.3 earthquake struck near Charleston, South Carolina and was felt across a large section of the Southeast and the Mid-Atlantic. It remains one of the most powerful & damaging earthquakes on the East Coast of the United States in history.

I probably shouldn't say this too loudly as the weather can me (personification) -- but the weather is **says the 'Q word' -- quiet for the most part. I'm enjoying it. Enjoy it while we have it, because it likely won't last long.

A series of earthquakes occurred in northern Nevada today with the biggest earthquake a 4.8 (downgraded from 5.3). Reports of shaking felt as far away as Boise, Idaho.

In case you missed it -- A large, Earth-directed (halo) CME is on its way! A G3-G4 Geomagnetic Storm is possible around Labor Day, which could mean AURORAS could visible in lower latitudes! This depends on strength, timing, and the weather, smoke on our planet etc. Let's hope for some auroras!

A CME has occurred off the Sun this evening. CME stands for Coronal Mass Ejection. This is headed our way. Geomagnetic storm watches may be needed. Depending on strength, timing, weather etc -- Northern Lights may be possible. Stay tuned!

JUST IN: 5.3 magnitude earthquake strikes 38 miles from Battle Mountain, Nevada.

Yes, there has been noticeablely less posts than usual the past week or so. Well because, this past weekend, I suffered a medical emergency. I have felt better yesterday and even better today. The number of updates and posts will increase today and will continue to see multiple to posts each day.

REMINDER: Saying "We don't need the National Weather Service, we have weather apps" is like saying "we don't need Wifi, we have the Internet!" Guess where the weather apps, streamers, weather pages and meteorologists get their weather data from? The National Weather Service/NOAA.

JUST IN: 5.0 magnitude earthquake strikes near Amchitka, Alaska. Tsunami NOT expected ~ National Tsunami Center.
