It has een an interesting month tectonically. A fair bit of volcanicity
as well as the earhtquakes. Lots of sixes and a tremor not even placed
on the Neic sites that killed one miner and trapped 2 more in a
goldmine in Oz:

Brant Webb, 37, and Todd Russell, 34, were trapped April 25 by a
cave-in that killed another miner. Webb and Russell apparently were
saved by a slab of rock that fell onto the cage of their cherry-picker
and prevented smaller rocks from hitting them after a small earthquake.

In January, 14 miners died in two accidents at mines in West Virginia.
In Mexico, 65 miners died in February after an explosion trapped them
underground. However, in Canada, 72 potash miners walked away from an
underground fire and toxic smoke in January after being locked down
overnight in airtight chambers with oxygen, food and water.

You ain't seen nothin, yet.

There is a change of spells due with the lunar phase on Friday, 5th
May. At least two fine spells. Not that there will be much difference
in the SW of England.

(Or not as the case may be.)

What will be interesting is that the present (similar) spells have run
for a number of weeks and there is always a heightened period in the
change over of such runs, when storms meteorologic or seismological
tend toward the extreme.
