And they are getting stronger, and all are centered in and around areas where fracking has been taking place for years. Hey, if Midland and Odessa collapsed into a giant sinkhole I would not shed a tear. Or it could be that fracking fluids have lubricated ancient and inactive faults, so that they can become active again. Maybe Texas will get what Texas deserves, but we must wait and see. Calm in this area. Cool morning and a pleasant afternoon yesterday and probably today a nice afternoon but triple digits will return next week. That, of course, is what one expects for August. If the air is dry enough, it will not be so bad. Rain chances are nil during that period, though most days will be partly cloudy. A plume of dust from the Sahara is due to arrive mid-week. Will that have any effect on our temperatures, an albedo effect?
Are we about to discover what it means to "shake and bake"?
