Spiders

Spiders tend to go into suspended animation until tropical storms threaten. How they manage to do this is a mystery. But the sudden appearance of big juicy bugs in the bathroom tends to excite young ladies just as much as old ones.

One thing noticeable about a spate of tropical storms in the likelihood of one of them producing a reasonably large earthquake out of all the fallout that develops behind them.

It is for this reason that a Thaumaturge will take heed of the recent placement of hard won webbing:

7.7M. 198km ESE of Nikol'skoye, Russia 2017-07-17 at 23:34 (UTC).

He will find himself chasing his tail around 80 degrees from the locations of the storms that piqued his interest but eventually find it was a decrepit minor cyclone that imparted his denouement. (See what I mean about the French?)

And you always thought it was the fooking Russians. Well in this case...

Although Category 3 hurricane Eugene 07-12 July 2017, was indeed a large tropical storm these things are extremely small measured against the backdrop of the huge temperature/pressure gradientsthey eventually join, further north:


In the forecast your friendly, neighbourhood thaumaturge had the foresight to record for you this chart (drawn for t+ 384 hours) shows a stain at about 45 North, 145 West which is the dark horse that eventually produced the swarm.

Conventional seismicity has some bug up its arse about plate tectonics rather than weather doing this stuff but there is no accounting for bloody stupid.

If you cut a disc out of  paper the size and shape of weather systems you will realise where Weggener went wrong. Whilst I can't blame him for trying I can condemn all the stupid bastards since then for persisting in their inanimation.

But stupid is as djoooopiid duhs and that is why the whole earth is in the hands of destruction engineers. What can one do but hide from the cretins?
