JB.. What in the tarnation is going on with all of these global disasters? Do you have an explanation? It's like the earth is settling and i wonder if the quakes are related to some of the sinkholes. And who is to say that us Americans are safe from such a quake as powerful as seen in China?

Also, is negative polar osillation the reason we are in such a cool pattern?

A lot is going on with natural disasters but none of them are really related. It is all coincidence. We have a negative NAO right now which is help keeping it cool in the east. Changes about a week and a half away.....JB
