Hackers release video early

OMG, this video isn't even going to be shot until Oct 17.  They've gone beyond merely releasing the film before theatrical release.

Natgas zooms, Oklahoma earthquakes to start up again

We haven't had a high rate in OK since last year.  The natgas people are finally realizing that we are going to have a winter 'par excellence', and the storage ran out last year.  This year will be worse.

The good fracking juice for OK comes from the US North East, where they are probably fracking like mad.  Then all the trucks go to OK, because they can't go anywhere else.  However, they only have another month, and then everything freezes.  We might get an m6 in OK, but it will be close.

Palu earthquake and tsunami

It is somewhat ironic that Palu got hit so bad, since it is one of the most sheltered places from the large m9 tsunamis. 

You can see it right in the middle of all those huge subduction trenches, all of which can pop off an m9+ any old time.

What got Palu was an internal 'fault' or a large strike-slip earthquake.  You can see the N-S gash of the fault.  This is a weak zone that accumulates the strain of the whole area being pushed around.  It would not be at the top of the list for a destructive earthquake.  Palu is at the end of a bay along the fault, and had no chance.  This was a very local tsunami.
