[Geology2] File - Rules

Attention Group!


Rule #1 is Rule #1 on all Yahoo groups: NEVER argue with a list-owner or list-moderator! This group is a benevolent dictatorship, NOT a democracy.

Rule #2 is to FOLLOW THE GOLDEN RULE: act as you wish others to act and treat others as you would like to be treated. Failure to follow the Golden Rule will result in our not following the Golden Rule with whomever breaks said Rule.

Rule #3 is there will be ABSOLUTELY NO spamming, trolling, flaming, whining, agitating, cussing or any other anti-social behavior. Violate this rule at the peril of your group membership!

Rule #4 is this group is a POLITICS-FREE and RELIGION-FREE zone. We'll impeach/excommunicate anybody who transgresses!

Rule #5 is STAY ON-TOPIC. We allow for a little bit of flexibility but don't force us to play the heavy and have to clamp down on this behavior.

Rule #6 is AVOID IDLE ON-LIST CHIT-CHAT. Remember there are hundreds of folks on this list and thus keep your posts focused on matters that might interest/edify the group as a whole.

Rule #7 is TRIM YOUR POSTS of excess lineage. Preferably only include the previous message you are responding to if you are indeed responding to previous post(s).

Rule #8 is bring any concerns or complaints you have about anything directly to the list-owners/list-moderators via an OFF-LIST message and DO NOT EVER take matters into your own hands in our stead!

Rule #9 is IF IN DOUBT ... DON'T! If you feel posting a particular remark or item could be a problem then don't do it at all or not until you ask us FIRST!

Rule #10 is USE EMOTICONS! Doing this will cut down on misunderstandings as email is not the best way for human beings to communicate as much nuanced communication such as facial expressions and voice tone are absent in this medium.

Rule #11 is give proper attribution to other groups if you forward to this group any information or a post from another group in part or in whole. It's the courteous thing to do!

1990: An observer at the Barstow-Daggett Airport reported a tornado touched down briefly.

1982: The greatest early season snowstorm of note in south-central Nevada took place. Significant accumulations of snow for any time of year fell in the panhandle of Lincoln County, Nevada.

A total of 24" of snow was measured at Lake Valley Steward.

Nearby Atlanta Mine measured 13".

Snow also fell in Dyer, NV (east of Mammoth Lakes near CA-NV border), where 2" was measured, establishing an all-time September record for this station and marking the only instance of measurable snow in September here.

2" also fell in Goldfield, NV, (just east of CA-NV border).

A trace of snow fell on Mount Charleston in Kyle Canyon (NW of Las Vegas, NV, near CA-NV border).

1982: Greatest daily September snowfall on record in Reno, NV, with 1.5" measured.

1976: Pinnacles National Monument (Monterey Co.) received 1.18" of rain.

1976: Thunderstorms struck the central and southern San Joaquin Valley with up to 2-1/2" of rain falling in some areas.
Dramatic lightning displays were seen from Fowler to Delano and marble size hail fell in Visalia and Porterville.
The storm knocked out power to several thousand customers and also struck two F-106s airplanes operated by the Fresno Air National Guard causing burn marks on the planes. The heavy rain also caused a roof to collapse at a building under construction as well as flooded homes, businesses and streets.
It also caused additional damage to crops that were seriously affected by the rain associated with Tropical Depression Kathleen.

1970: Drought in Southern California climaxed and hot Santa Ana winds blew starting on 9.25 and ending on 9.30. Winds peaked at 60 mph at Cuyamaca.
The winds sparked the Laguna Fire, one of the largest in California history.
8 were killed, 400 homes were destroyed, and 185,000 acres were burned as of 9.28 from Cuyamaca to Alpine.
In all, the fire consumed whole communities of interior San Diego County.
500,000 acres were burned and caused $50 million in damage.

1965: The morning low temperature at Reno, NV was 23° F.

1946: A tropical storm moved northward into northern Baja California and dissipated.
Moisture from this system produced a particular cloudburst of 3" in 30 minutes in San Bernardino.

[californiadisasters] 2011 Japanese Tsunami drives species 'army' across Pacific to US coast

Tsunami drives species 'army' across Pacific to US coast

By Matt McGrath Environment correspondent

Scientists have detected hundreds of Japanese marine species on US coasts, swept across the Pacific by the deadly 2011 tsunami.

Mussels, starfish and dozens of other creatures great and small travelled across the waters, often on pieces of plastic debris.

Researchers were surprised that so many survived the long crossing, with new species still washing up in 2017.

The study is published in the journal Science.

The powerful earthquake that shook north-eastern Japan in March 2011 triggered a huge tsunami that reached almost 39m in height on the Tōhoku coast of Honshu.

The towering waves washed hundreds of objects out to sea, ranging in size from tiny pieces of plastic to fishing boats and docks.

A year later, scientists began finding tsunami debris with living creatures still attached, washing up on the shores of Hawaii and the western US coast from Alaska down to California.

"Many hundreds of thousands of individuals were transported and arrived in North America and the Hawaiian islands - most of those species were never before on our radar as being transported across the ocean on marine debris," lead author Prof James Carlton, from Williams College and Mystic Seaport, told BBC News.

"Much of the debris is still out there and it could be that some of these Japanese species will still arrive. I wouldn't be surprised if a small Japanese fishing boat lost in 2011 was to show up 10 years after the event."

The research team has detected 289 different species so far. Mussels were the most common, but there were also crabs, clams, sea anemones and star fish.

So common were findings that new species were still being discovered even as the study drew to a close in 2017, six years after the tsunami.

The scientists say that many other species have likely made the journey and so far escaped detection. No colonies of invaders have so far been established but the research team believes that this is likely to happen.

"When we first saw species from Japan arriving in Oregon, we were shocked. We never thought they could live that long, under such harsh conditions," said co-author John Chapman from Oregon State University.

"It would not surprise me if there were species from Japan that are out there living along the Oregon coast. In fact, it would surprise me if there weren't."

The key element that has made this possible according to all the scientists involved is the ubiquitous presence of plastic, fibre glass and other products that do not decompose.

"The wood generated by the tsunami lasted a short time compared with the enduring nature of the plastic," said Prof Carlton.

"For aeons if a plant or animal was to raft across the oceans, their boat was literally dissolving underneath them. What we have done now is provide these species with rather permanent rafts; we have changed the nature of their boats."

Moving much more slowly than ships, the plastic or fibre glass rafts gave the species time to gradually adjust to their new environment, making it easier for them to reproduce and their larvae attach to the debris.

The researchers are concerned that with so much plastic in our oceans, and with climate change making cyclones and storms more intense, the threat of invasive marine species has never been greater. The tsunami research shows just how much of an impact this route can have.

"There's nothing comparable in the scale of what we've seen before in the history of marine science," said Prof Carlton.

"The thousands of kilometres travelled, the sheer diversity of the community combined with how long this has been going on - so this has really reset the stage for the role of marine debris and its potential dispersal of invasive species."
