I was just checking the CDC's "death from all causes" data set and ran across something very interesting. They have a category for "Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified (R00-R99)" and normally, this averages around 678 deaths per week. Lately, it's averaging around 2,000 deaths per week and it's climbing. It's not Covid because they have a category for that. I wonder what it could be? It exceeds Covid deaths now, by the way.

This is very troubling.

I suspect it includes many who succumbed to covid, but never had any testing performed. Unless that category specifically excludes this.

The category exists prior to Covid. The number was stable up until the last week in November 2020. I don't know what is causing it to increase. The overall deaths by all causes is not rising so maybe it's just a problem with identifying the correct cause of death. I'm going to check it again in a few months to see if the prior month's numbers are assigned to other categories as we go forward in time.

Oh boy let me ask it......saturated soils lead to the extra weight causing the fault to break?

What? Haha no, probably lead to more severe mudslides though. I was just saying one disaster after another basically
 
Man the videos are horrible. Entire city blocks collapsed. A small tsunami appears to have also hit the island. Only video is of a foot or so in the street but one report said a possible 9 foot wave in a port town somewhere along the south coast.
 
Gonna be a lot of dead in Haiti, maybe not the staggering 160k killed in 2010 though as this one was 100 miles or so west of the 2010 one that directly hit the capital city etc but images so far are really bad in the effected area.

I do wish more Southern States would invest in roads like North Carolina does.. South Carolina roads are the worst overall.

My parents moved last month from Tennessee to North Carolina to be near us. The first thing they noticed while out and about was the generally better condition of the roads here compared to where they’re from. I told them that the NC gas tax had to be spent somewhere.
 
Sounds like it had been building a large lava dome and recent rains weakened it and the dome collapsed. People close are very lucky since this was somewhat unexpected.
 
The Russian Bear pokes its head, on this eve of eves, with NATO insight. A lot to talk about here, markets saw pressure, winter and Moscow is responsible for about 40% of Europe's NG consumption. It's going to be a cold one on many fronts.
 
If it were me, and we are way behind the 8 ball, I would work quickly and posture to be in a "position" with our NATO partners to establish a no fly over Ukraine. ~160 US based F-35s would pour in to Europe over the coming weeks,, along with tanker assets, and be strategically deployed at airports all throughout Europe, The US did this with F-22s and you can damn well bet they are refining it with the 35s. Throw 3 or 4 squadrons of P-8s in the mix, I don't think any bombing assets move in to the AOR.
 
Are there any theories as to why we have had 6 small earthquakes in the midlands of SC since Monday? We have small quakes every year. But we are well above average for the year.

Same thing happened last month around Winston Salem. Could it be stress from those original quakes settling and now causing quakes in SC
