Late Friday the Colimo Volcano erupted forcing an evacuation of 2 villages in the foothills of Volan de Fuego. Today there was a heightened earthquake alert announced for Southern California that is projected to continue until next Tuesday. Add to this that there is a very powerful hurricane that could possibly hit the eastern United States next week. This is quite a series of events that are unfolding here. Definitely something to pay attention to.

One of the most active volcanoes in North America, the Colima volcano has been erupting slowly since early September.
More than 300 people were ordered on Friday to evacuate from two villages in the foothills of Volcan de Fuego, the 3,839-meter mountain which towers over the states of Jalisco and Colima.
Today this news:
Heightened Earthquake Alert Issued For Southern California After Series Of Tremors
SANTA ANA, Calif. – Southern California residents should remain on heightened alert until Tuesday for the increased possibility of a major earthquake, officials said.The warning by the Governor's Office of Emergency Services follows a series of small temblors deep under the Salton Sea, which is located on the 800-mile-long San Andreas fault, the Orange County Register reported Saturday.
Such warnings are typically issued once or twice a year, said Kelly Huston, the deputy director of crisis communications for the Governor's Office of Emergency Services.
The latest alert was issued after 142 temblors hit starting Monday near Bombay Beach at the southern end of the fault. Those quakes ranged from a magnitude of 1.4 to 4.3, the U.S. Geological Survey said.
Scientists estimate the probability of a quake with a magnitude of 7.0 or higher on the southern San Andreas fault being triggered is as high as 1 in 100 and as low as 1 in 3,000. The average chance for such an earthquake striking on any given week is 1 in 6,000. That heightened probability will last through Tuesday.
Then there is this news report from yesterday:
Hurricane Matthew most powerful in nearly a decade
HOUSTON - Hurricane Matthew is a monster. It also seems to have a mind of its own. It strengthened way beyond any of the official forecasts from the National Hurricane Center and the world's cumulative centuries of meteorological experience. Forecasts were for a Cat 2, maybe a Cat 3 ... slowly developing thru early next week. Instead it jumped 4 categories to the strongest Cat 5, overnight! When everyone -- and I mean everyone -- gets the intensity so categorically wrong, it raises an eyebrow and reminds us that while we think we're in control, we're not.

What a reminder! While we think we're in control, we're not!
