Long Beach, California Quake @ 9:06am, a quick jolt.
3.7 QUAKE 11/05/10 11 MILES DEEP RIGHT UNDER THE CONDO
3.7 QUAKE 11/05/10 11 MILES DEEP RIGHT- EPICENTER UNDER THE CONDO
The quake I felt just after 9 am was revised to a 3.7 and about 11 miles deep. Once again, it was more of a jolt in Long Beach because we were the epicenter. I’m back in Hollywood, getting ready for work and the 1pm KTLA 5 show. Have a great day!
This was my Facebook message right after it happened, “our wall just moved with a quick jolt in Long Beach, I hope it was the neighbors. Checking USGS for a quake” Meteorologist Jim Castillo

Super Typhoon Megi, the strongest tropical cyclone to hit a mass of land on the planet since Hurricane Dean in 2007. The one time Category 5 storm exhibited amazing satellite features prior to landfall
See the sequence above just before Megi swept across the northern Philippines. The top image is a close-up of the third image in the series beneath it. I enhanced the contrast a bit so you can look-in at the structure of the spiral bands surrounding the eye and inside the eye itself.

It has been very wet in Western Washington January 2010(5.89″ of Rain in Seattle so far-Normal is 4.33″), and the area has experienced warm temperatures. January 2010 may very well go down as the WARMEST on RECORD for Many Locations.
Sea-Tac Airport(Records kept since 1945)
January 2010 through the 25th we have an average of 47.2 degrees. 1) 46.6 in 2006 2) 46.4 in 1995 3) 45.7 in 2003 4) 44.9 in
Record Warmth in January in the Pacific Northwest !!

Olympia(Records kept since 1948)
January 2010 through the 25th 43.9 degrees as an average so far 1) 44.0 in 1953 2) 43.3 in 2003 3) 42.9 in 1994 4th) 42.8 in 2006 5th) 42.7 in 1958 (Quillayute has an average of 46.7 through the 25th, and that is a record so far) (Bellingham has an average of 45.9, and that is a record so far) (Hoquiam has an average of 46.9 so far and that is a record so far)
The warmer than normal temperatures are largely attributed to El Nino. Even though the snow level in the mountains has been low enough for a great snow pack so far.
