Park Superintendent David Vela, at Grand Teton National Park in the western U.S. state of Wyoming, shutdown a popular hiking trail due to sudden “expanding cracks and fissures in a large rock formation”.

The Hidden Falls Area Trails and Inspiration Point are temporarily closed “until we can properly assess the situation.”  Park rangers say “noticeable” cracks suddenly appeared in overhanging boulders within a 24 hours period!

Employees with Exum Mountain Guides were forced to move their training operation to a new location.  However, nearby Jenny Lake Boating tours will continue.

PACIFIC RING OF FIRE: VOLCANOES TRUE CAUSE OF ARCTIC ICE MELT! SUNSCREEN TRUE CAUSE OF CORAL REEF DIE OFF?

More proof you can’t blame man made air pollution on Global Warming-Climate Change for coral reef deaths:  In November 2015 the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) warned Skincare Chemical Threatens Coral Reefs.

Time.com, in 2015, said Sunscreen Killing Reefs.

In February 2018, the Sweden based International Coral Reef Initiative (ICRI) revealed the impacts of sunscreens on coral reefs.

In April 2018 National Geographic reported Sunscreen, Clothing, And Other Coral Reef-Safe Alternatives.

At the end of June, 2018, Mother Nature News said Why your sunscreen is bad for coral reefs.

And for more proof you can’t blame man made air pollution on Global Warming-Climate Change glacier melt-off, recent discoveries reveal that polar ice sheets are actually melting due to volcanic activity. In August 2017 The Guardian reported Scientists discover 91 volcanoes below Antarctic ice sheet.

In October 2017 The Weather Channel reported Volcanic Eruptions May Be Rapidly Melting Arctic Ice Sheets.

In June 2018, the Independent reported Active volcano discovered beneath Antarctic ice sheet could be contributing to rapidly melting glacier.

Dubbed Pathfinder-Minuteman refresher training it revealed that the biggest problem for emergency responders is communication between different groups: “The biggest part of all of this training is team communication. I watched other teams struggle because of communication issues…”-Allison Journey, volunteer taking part in the training for the first time

Idaho’s Army National Guard and the state Military Division’s Public Safety Communications and Information Technology Division are creating a ‘long term’ microwave radio system across six regions within The Gem State.

“The current network has been out there for a while and is at a point in its lifecycle where it needs to be replaced. We are providing engineering and analysis for what should be replaced and how we can improve data consistency and reliability for that infrastructure to remain working at an optimal level.”-Ben Call, communications and InfoTech services branch chief

The new system is meant to provided faster service and protect state government communications from cyber attacks. It will serve the Idaho Army National Guard, Idaho State Police, Idaho Fish and Game, and the Idaho State Courts System.  It should also be more secure during natural disasters because it does not use ‘public’ cell systems: “With our support they have equipment that comes in via the microwave network instead of the public network that would not be affected by an outage. So it is our hope and intent that our system would stay up and be available in an emergency even if the regular system dies.”-Ben Call

“We remain on red alert… …gearing up for three months…”-Romina Marasigan, government disaster agency worker

For awhile now I’ve been suspecting that the ongoing earthquakes in southeastern Idaho could be the result of secretive fracking operations by the petroleum industry.  But this time it might be due to a sudden increase in activity around the Pacific Ring of Fire.

Here’s the rundown:

During the second week of January 2018, Mount Mayon in Philippines begins small eruptions and lava flows, then on 23JAN2018 it begins large eruptions. 25JAN2018, massive lava flows begin, eruptions continue.  Now at least 81-thousand people forced to evacuate, and told eruptions could last three months! 

18JAN2018: Big Waves, Flooding Batter Oregon And Washington Coasts

23JAN2018, in Japan, northwest of Tokyo, a volcano (Mount Kusatsu-Shirane) suddenly erupts. Cell phone video shows the eruption occurred in a new area not associated with the volcano, on the slopes of a ski resort.  One soldier killed while taking part in ski training, 11 people injured.

23JAN2018, magnitude 7.9 quake strikes off the southern coast of Alaska. 

25JAN2018, magnitude 5.8 quake strikes off the coast of northern California. 

25JAN2018, the Soda Springs area of the inland state of Idaho hit with numerous 3 and 4 magnitude quakes (again).  

One volcano can destroy all human attempts at curbing human caused air pollution, so stop trying to waste your taxpayer funding on trying to stop climate change.  But volcanoes cause Ice Ages, not global warming, so mister-almost-was-president-of-the-U.S.-if-he-hadn’t-of-given-in-to-George-Bush-Jr-threats Al Gore, it looks like Mother Earth is taking care of ‘global warming’!

Oregon Field Guide warns of massive earthquake-tsunami Cascadia Event:

https://youtu.be/-n6FxBNNOC4

“Idaho’s participation helped raise awareness that the residual effects of an earthquake and tsunami along the coast would be felt in Idaho. That includes the possible need to accommodate tens of thousands of evacuees and displaced persons who were directly impacted.”–Federal Emergency Management Agency, June 2017

By the way, FEMA designates inland Idaho as the refugee destination for the expected massive Cascadia Event, which new computer models suggest will wipe out half of Oregon and Washington.  Idaho’s population will suddenly explode by “tens of thousands” of people (maybe that’s why our exalted, and secretive, leaders keep talking about a huge future boost in population?)!  But wait, if Yellowstone goes off then we all get wiped out!

Fracking quake swarm hits east Idaho?

Update, 11 SEP 2017:  U.S. Geological Survey reports as of 10 SEP 2017 more than 260 earthquakes rocked Caribou County, Idaho!  The USGS believes the quakes will continue but gave no reason why. A professor at Idaho State University claims the swarm quakes are “a whole series of aftershocks”.    USGS quake data is higher than reported by University of Utah, which operates its own seismograph stations independent of the USGS.

A swarm of earthquakes that hit an area east of the rural east-Idaho city of Soda Springs (at least 58 in less than 24 hours) fits the M-O of what the U.S. Geological Survey calls Induced Earthquakes caused by the oil industry’s hydraulic fracturing (fracking).

The individual quakes ranged in magnitude of 2.5 to 5.3, beginning in the late afternoon on 02 SEP 2017 and continuing until late afternoon the next day.   The same area was hit by quakes in October 2016.

In 2016 the Idaho Department of Lands swore that no fracking was taking place in The Gem State, or at least no applications for fracking had been submitted.   Even local news media blow off the skyrocketing quake swarms as signs the supervolcano Yellowstone is coming back to life.  However, I’ve been tracking these swarms for a few years and noticed they coincide with the resumption of petroleum exploration, including fracking.
