San Diego shakes again
It has been several weeks since I wrote about the strange noises, moans, and groans that are blanketing the planet. But tonight it seems impossible to ignore strange noises underneath one of the biggest cities in America: San Diego.
A strange sound has been reported far and wide in the city, almost in all corners .. There were reports of very large rumbles about 12:45 PM San Diego time .. there was no earthquake activity at the time, according to stats on the USGS.
NBC San Diego reports this:
The mysterious sensation was described by some people as sounding like a door slamming while others said it was strong enough to rattle windows
One report concluded it was a ‘sonic rumble’ under the ground..
Several people on Twitter report their houses shaking, rumbles rumbling underneath their feet, and nerves being shaken by the noises.
Could it by skyquakes? Could it be military? Could it be something even more mysterious taking place underneath our feet?
The jury is out.
Even more from the Sacramento BEE:
The U.S. Geological Survey says it received more than 500 reports from people in San Diego County who felt shaking Friday. The survey maintains an online site where people can report what they felt. USGS geophysicist Bruce Presgrave says it was most likely a sonic boom

Windows rattled.
People jumped.
What exactly shook the city?
Most are stumped.
You may think you're not in Kansas anymore, but you are.. as a matter of fact heat is blanketing the nation from sea to boiling sea.
Kansas 110+ degrees?
Colorado 110+ degrees?
Yes, indeed.
If you are still a stalwart that has doubts that the earth’s weather is changing, look no further to this story about how there are record highs being broken by temperatures that have never been this high in recorded history..
You may think you're not in Kansas anymore, but you are.. as a matter of fact heat is blanketing the nation from sea to boiling sea.
News from space. The wild frontier that we don’t have enough money to spend to get there anymore. Besides private companies, of course.
Amazing universe: Solar tornadoes as big as the US eat up the sun’s atmosphere..and not only that, but there may be 11,000 super tornadoes on the sun’s surface!
This is how solar flares can kill: A distant planet had an entire atmosphere blasted away by solar flares 60 light years away fom Earth..
Saturn’s moon Titan may have an ocean beneath its surface!
Exhumed rocks reveal that Mars water ran deep..
A few other headlines that made me cringe today
Disturbing: Sick drugged up patients asked to pay—at bedside!
The parents aren’t alright either: Father arrested because he left his two year old son in a hot car in Kentucky.. Why? He got ‘distracted’ and forgot to drop him off at day care, leaving him in his parked car outside of his office.. The child was strapped in his car seat while the temperatures climbed above 100 degrees inside the car..
How ethical is this!? Does anyone care about ethics anymore..? News now that the first GMO babies have been born, about 30 to be exact: Fifteen of the children were born in the past three years as a result of one experimental programme at the Institute for Reproductive Medicine and Science of St Barnabas in New Jersey…
I’m inclined to think that MAGIC MIKE will be the number one chick-flick of the weekend. Could be wrong..
According to Channing Tatum: Waxing in prep for the film was painful..
Reviews for the film are now trickling in..
And ain’t it just sumptin’ .. I bet most of the women you know, or if you’re a women, want to see this film this weekend or at least have made comments when seeing the poster. Perhaps the makers are on to something. Box office glory coming for male strippers? Waxed and ready. Is America?
This is an amazing image.. There were some pretty rough storms in Coal Country and other areas throughout the night last night. And today data shows that there were over 40,000 lightning strikes from the storms..
This photo of horrid Colorado fires taken by Helen Richardson of the Denver Post..
The winds and heat have made a troubling situation even worse.. And now it’s life threatening as one person has perished as a result of the series of blazes stalking and killing the land..
Entire neighborhoods have been erased by the fires as these photos illustrate..
A dire situation continues in Colorado as the hills are still alive with fires and fear.
Colorado Springs fire is now ranked as the most destructive for the state on record, there is a war room type effort happening, and now the fires have claimed their first fatality as homes and businesses continue to be evacuated ..
Extreme heat has blanketed the nation for days, today in some parts of the Rockies temprs will rise above 105..
A troubling situation awaits firefighters who battle the flames and the heat of nature..
It’s going to be as hot as hell today. It’s the end of June and not even mid summer yet. What awaits this nation? Hopefully not more fires and fear.. but that is exactly what Colorado is facing this morning. One death has also occurred as a result of the fires. More homes are evacuated.. more horror as lives are being shattered by the unpredictable flames.
Fire fighters are facing a troubling situation, as well: Fire and heat. Temperatures will soar above 100.. not easy for those fighting these fires by a stretch of the imagination. And the eyes of a nation are watching.. waiting.. and hoping that somehow the flames die down and fire fighters turn a corner in the battle against nature’s wrath.
Boulder is threatened this morning.
As are lots of other places, too..

Are you working from home or hardly working?
A new survey seems to suggest that those who work from home don’t always work and tend to squeeze some other things in..
But ask yourself this, office workers of the world: How much of your day is filled with work and not just maligning and hissing at fellow co workers or discussing the latest ridiculous reality show to grace the TV sets of Ameridumb? Employers: Pick your poison carefully..
Ann Curry bids farewell on the TODAY show.. it's pretty clear that at this point the 4 hour extravaganza of entertainment goo, ooze, and garbage, is clear: No news is good news
Truly.. she is about one of the few people with journalistic integrity that TODAY has.
Really.. if you want news you need to tune in for about the first 14 minutes. Then local weather plops itself on again.. then it’s Justin Beiber live and Katy Perry with clothes.
Now it’s Matt and Al for the duration. Who will replace her?
Kathy Lee?? If she’s sober.
