San Francisco battered by unusual hail storm then M3.8 earthquake strikes - the latest in a series of tremors

san jose quake april 2018
Hello, Monday! A 3.8 magnitude quake jolted the South Bay this morning, in an area notorious for seismic restlessness, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

Around 9:40 a.m., just after San Jose residents experienced hail, torrential rain and thunderous dark clouds, the earth beneath them suddenly shifted. The 3.9 quake was centered about nine miles northeast of downtown San Jose, in the Alum Rock region. Tremors were felt in Milpitas, Fremont and Santa Clara, the USGS reported. Office towers shook in downtown San Jose.

"It was snowing and hailing, with thunder, then there was an earthquake. It felt like a big jerk, not rolling," said Angel Barlow, park services attendant at Joseph D. Grant County Park, in the hills east of San Jose. "It was a landslide of weather!"'

Comment: The writer attempts to normalise the events of the day, but then goes on to state that there have been a series of quakes recently, one of them was above average in strength. And it is being recorded by mainstream US media outlets all over the country that this years winter has been unusually brutal dragging long into Spring.

The original title of the article was: 'Earthquake, hail, fierce rain rattle Bay Area - but, nope, there's no link'. So three unusual events strike in a day, but there's no link? It really is obvious when you take into account other unusual events around the world, but so many supposed journalists fail to connect the dots, or even remember what happened yesterday. Yes, they're connected!

"It's my livelihood, it's what I do," said Byler.

On Saturday morning, he pulled up to the farm to take care of his sheep to find a horrible scene - one he certainly didn't expect.

Blizzard Xanto
Blizzard Xanto
With all of the media distractions underway, you know that a look right while the real action is looking left, which would be blizzards across the US and Canadian grain belts that will prevent planting until mid May at best. Spring blizzard Xanto rolls across the land shattering snow and clod records, decimating anything that bloomed, sprouted, budded , emerged or started growing already this spring. The agricultural losses will be stupendous, and add o the fact that two more winter storms are on the way, uhmmmm I mean two more BLIZZARDS. Heavy snow in Morocco, Spain, France and thick hail in Italy will round it out.
