[Geology2] Happy New Year 2011
I wish each and every one of you a safe and prosperous and healthy and hopefully happy year 2011.
Live well and to the betterment of your fellow citizens in both your community, society, and home world and also to your own personal elevation and growth as a person.
Think for yourself and act without impulsiveness or impetuousness but with honor and dignity.
Be simultaneously skeptical and hopeful.
Be wise and circumspect in this dangerous time.
Be humble of what you are and grateful for what you have.
Always focus on the part of the glass that is full regardless of what percentage of the whole it is.
Remember that you are your brother's (or sister's) keeper... up to a point.
Preparation for your survival is your personal responsibility and civic duty so attend to this at all times.

[californiadisasters] Rare hurricane-strength winds batter L.A. area; more snow and ice on way
Rare hurricane-strength winds batter L.A. area; more snow and ice on way
December 30, 2010 | 7:06 am
A rare blast of hurricane-strength winds was topped by a 94 mph gust measured by the National Weather Service at 3:57 a.m. Thursday at Whitaker Peak.
Forecasters said the winds in valley and mountain areas will continue at least until noon Thursday. A wind warning for the San Fernando and San Gabriel valleys is in place until then.
The weather service said in a statement that a northerly flow is producing the wind and icy conditions and "will continue to bring dangerous winter weather conditions" on Thursday, producing 1 to 2 inches of snow in some mountain passes and generating "upslope snow showers across the northern mountain slopes."
The weather service said icy conditions can be expected along Interstate 5 and other mountain passes.
The snow level plunged to 2,000 feet, closing Interstate 15. Temperatures fell to 49 degrees in downtown L.A. and 19 degrees at Mt. Wilson.
The California Highway Patrol’s traffic website reported toppled trees throughout Los Angeles County, including along the 710 Freeway, and the interchanges of the 110 and 101, and 5 and 101 freeways.
Downed power lines have left thousands without power.
Here are some strong wind gusts clocked overnight.
Whitaker Peak: 81 mph
Pyramid Lake: 61 mph
Castiac Lake: 75 mph
Warm Springs: 75 mph
San Fernando: 71 mph
Santa Clarita: 61 mph

[californiadisasters] Winds Whip Through L.A.; More Rain Coming
High winds, cold temperatures will be followed by rain moving in on Saturday
By Howard Blume and Shan LiLos Angeles Times
December 30, 2010 | 7:44 am
An evening of high winds and cold weather was followed by more of the same Thursday morning, with temperatures expected to dip even lower Friday before more rain hits the region this weekend.
High wind gusts overnight hit 61 mph in Glendale and 90 mph in Angeles National Forest, said National Weather Service specialist Stuart Seto. A high-wind advisory remains in effect along the coast until noon, which means winds of 15 to 25 mph, with gusts of up to 45 mph.
Authorities issued a high-wind warning for the mountains as well as for the San Gabriel, Santa Clarita and San Fernando valleys, with sustained winds of 35 to 50 mph and gusts of up to 80 mph. Those gusts will still measure up to 55 mph later Thursday afternoon. High-surf advisories have been issued along the coast.
In the Hollywood Hills, a tree fell on a house shortly after 5 a.m. Thursday in the 3200 block of Hillock Drive, knocking down power lines, said Erik Scott, spokesman for the Los Angeles Fire Department. No one was hurt.
