Super Typhoon In-fa is carrying some incredible numbers.
150 mph winds.
A 40-mile-wide eye.
A damaging wind field roughly 250 miles across.
A forecast pass only about 14 miles from Agrihan.
Which number makes the storm feel the most serious to you?
Which number stood out first?

One detail from the latest Tibet earthquake really stood out to me.
The first reports said there were no immediate casualties or major damage.
Only hours later, officials had confirmed collapsed homes and a much more serious situation.
The earthquake itself had not changed.
The information had.
So when a major earthquake happens somewhere remote, how much confidence do you put in the very first reports?

16,000 subscribers. Thank you! ❤️
The latest outlook points toward a very strong El Niño, with flooding, unusual warmth, severe weather, and winter storm risks varying dramatically depending on where you live.
Tell me:
Where do you live, and what are you most worried about this winter?
Flooding? Snow? Ice? Tornadoes? Power outages? Something else?
I also made the Watch Book to help you understand the forecasts, warnings, and official information behind events like these.

Forecasters are becoming increasingly confident that this winter could bring an unusually strong El Niño.
But a seasonal forecast doesn’t tell you which problem would be hardest for your own household.
So which would affect you the most?

A big part of The Field Report is separating the thing that actually matters from the thing getting the biggest headline.
That’s also why I wanted to make the Watch Book.
The goal isn’t to turn anyone into a seismologist, volcanologist, or emergency manager.
It’s to help you understand what THEY are telling you.
• How do you read an official volcano update?
• What does an alert level actually mean?
• Which changes are worth paying attention to?
• Where should you look when social media is saying one thing and the agency monitoring the event is saying another?
Those are the kinds of questions I wanted this guide to help answer.
Because during a real event, I think knowing how to find the right information can be just as important as having the information itself.
The Watch Book is available here:

One question for you:
When something major happens, do you normally check the official source yourself — or wait for someone else to explain it?

Category 5 begins at 157 mph.
And then the scale just... stops.
A storm barely over that line and one approaching 200 mph still receive the same Category 5 label.
Hurricane Polo has pushed that debate back into the spotlight.
So what do YOU think?
Should the hurricane scale ever add a Category 6?

Four earthquake clusters appeared across Southern California in the same weekend.
Los Angeles. Offshore near Catalina. Near Ojai. Near the San Jacinto system.
But the most important place in the latest analysis may be the one that barely moved at all: Cajon Pass, where major fault systems meet.
So here’s a question:
You can place ONE extra earthquake monitoring station anywhere in Southern California. Where are you putting it?
Under Los Angeles?
Offshore near Catalina?
At Cajon Pass?
Along the San Andreas?
Somewhere completely different?
Tell me where — and why. 👇

Anak Krakatau is erupting again, but the part of this volcano that worries me most isn’t necessarily the eruption everyone can see.
In 2018, part of the volcano collapsed into the sea and generated a tsunami without the kind of earthquake that traditional warning systems are designed to detect.
So I’m curious:
When you think about a dangerous volcano, what worries you more — the eruption you can see happening above ground, or the hidden changes happening underneath and around it?
And why?

A little over 1 inch of rain helped turn Bright Angel Creek in the Grand Canyon into a deadly surge powerful enough to tear apart bridges and push debris into the Colorado River.
The reason wasn't just the storm.
The rain fell over terrain burned by the Dragon Bravo Fire, where the ground had lost much of its ability to absorb water.
Before the Grand Canyon flood, did you know a wildfire could make an area MORE vulnerable to flooding long after the flames were gone?

When people hear that a volcano is becoming restless, I think most immediately look at the earthquake magnitude.
But Campi Flegrei is a good reminder that sometimes the ground movement itself tells a much more interesting story.
So without overthinking it:
If you were following a restless volcano, what signal would get your attention FIRST?
