Extreme weather hit California pretty hard this month: A bomb cyclone, severe flooding, mudslides, power outages, walls of snow in Soda Spring, and a magnitude 4.2 earthquake with an epicenter in offshore Malibu.
Denver, Colorado, saw 13 inches of snow this month, making it the 15th snowiest January on record. Jackson County registered -5°C, and the Purgatory ski resort recorded 23 inches of snow in 24 hours.
Northern Arizona got more than two feet of snow in 48 hours. It was the 25th largest snow event and broke the single-day snowfall record on Sunday.
Nevada was hit by winter storms that brought heavy rain, high winds, and significant snowfall at higher elevations. Las Vegas desert was also covered in white, a strange sight for the area.
More than 41 inches of snow fell at Sundance Mountain Resort in Utah, forcing a closure due to extreme weather conditions. The resort also recorded nearly 8 inches of rain.
Heavy snow also disrupted normal life in Italy, Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, and Mallorca. Mallorca was covered by its largest snowfall in more than five years.
China's northernmost city, Mohe, was hit by an all-time record of -53°C, the lowest ever recorded. The local officials worked overtime to ensure heating and water services. This comes days after temperatures plunged to -50°C in Russia's Yakutsk.
Central Asia also suffered a harsh January. In Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan recorded unusual levels of snow, that collapsed power poles and trees, blocked main roads, and burst water pipes. The temperatures in Kazakhstan reached a chilling -30°C.
The Middle East was also caught off guard by colder-than-usual temperatures and snow. Tens of thousands of Iranians were left without gas amid snow and freezing conditions, and Afghanistan temperatures plummeted as low as -33°C, combined with widespread snowfall, freezing gusts, and regular power outages. At least 166 people died due to the cold wave.
Ex-Tropical Cyclone Ellie continued to batter northern Australia this month. Heavy rain turned roads into rivers, thousands of cattle got lost or died, and boats were the only form of transportation in some counties. Western Australia was also hit hard by heavy rain and floods. 38 homes and 37 businesses were destroyed, with an additional 121 homes damaged. In some cases, the damage is so severe that will require long-term rebuilding efforts. The floods have also caused significant damage to infrastructure and transportation routes.
New Zealand's largest city declared a state of emergency after torrential rains caused widespread flooding and evacuations. Heavy floods washed away houses, blocked roads, and knocked out power. The city received 75% of its usual summer rainfall in just 15 hours.
Latvia experienced its worst flooding since 1981, forcing residents of central areas to evacuate their homes. Meanwhile, large chunks of ice that drifted from Belkarus caused the water level to rise, while also putting pressure on a new dam.
Other noteworthy events this month:
- Sumatra, Indonesia: Heavy flooding leaves 3 dead and 15,000 homes damaged
- Johor and Pahang, Malaysia: More than 4,000 were displaced by flooding caused by 17 inches of rain in 24 hours
- North Sulawesi, Indonesia: Nearly 18 inches of rain in 48 hours left 3-meter floods in some areas.
- Zambia - Non-stop rains caused catastrophic flooding in southern and central provinces.

This site carries this contradiction in terms quite well, the premise of picking and choosing when a known liar is to be trusted.
People will soon hopefully begin to ask, if these people in authority see themselves as gods why would they not already hope to promote any natural power....as their own. Lying is second nature to them, why deny them this trait on this specific technological talking point?
or "is HAARP simply communications espionage?".
Anyhow, giveN all the weather anomalies and whatnot and balloons getting shot out of the sky....really pisses me off to no end.
My idea is, for those of us already connected to natural gas supply, it would be nice if we could have a little tank that held reserves in the event power was lost or what not.
I'm thinking just a little easy Class 1 Dev 2 or some such compressor could be purchased (sort of like a big balloon) for a couple hundred dollars, and then if you got a technician knows how to install said equipment, you could acquire a pressure vessel properly tested and approved for use, to store you some energy in case the power goes out and you still want hot water and heat.

I can't abide balloon killers.
Here is a link to back that up.

Not kidding around...

I can - I think it is possible.
Now the key is to have enough balloons up there at the time the winds are blowing to take advantage of the electro-magnetic energy just blowing in the wind....and the balloons themselves, one of many, would only be siphoning off a small, very small portion of the energy provided by the Sun in the sky, and think about that - so much cleaner than so many other ideas.
Do you think this idea has a chance?
I do, but I'm biased, being I'm a self-admitted balloon lover who also is willing to contemplate new ideas and not fixed in my brain-flow, because if you are, then pretty soon enough, learning ends, and really - is that wise?
63% for frigs sake,
That includes is all the bs they put us through, lockdowns, masks , lack of health care social contact, isolation letc etc.
There is not one article on Sott about this , not one.
Did every regular commenter on here take the clot shot?
Fess up folks, who did or did not pass the IQ test on here?
They scared you into submission, and profited off of your fear!
Is this site a cutout as well,
come on man!!
Everything decays. Nepotism ruins the caste system, allowing corruption which increases the decay.
The Praetorians keep the show running, until the public find out and then the illusion dissolves.
I had heard that in California they were removing hydroelectric dams to save the "salmon". Here is the narrative that they are spinning. Note that there is little talk of energy, though they mention that this will impact wine country growers. Since they want us to move to their 15 minute cities, we can see this as one of the intents.

One of the scientific investigators who has examined this is Brooks Agnew. Most of his youtube videos are not found. He has studied HAARP technology and used it to find oil well drill sites. He wrote the book called Holes in Heaven about HAARP. In this interview beginning around 37:00 minutes in, he discusses how HAARP could be used to generate an earthquake, and he supports that with the fact that the USS NITZI with HAARP technology docked in Turkey shortly after.
