Bruce and Sunny celebrate Mother's Day while diving into weather forecasts, earthquake trends, and mysterious atmospheric signal patterns detected by a SID receiver.
• Weather comparison between Southern Illinois (56°F, 71% humidity) and Phoenix, Arizona (61°F, 17% humidity)
• Full moon expected tonight with moonrise at 7:22 pm
• Earthquake report shows 1,923 total earthquakes this week, up from 1,774 last week
• Only one major earthquake (6.0 magnitude) in the Southern East Pacific Rise
• Discussion of pattern where increased small earthquakes may prevent larger seismic events
• Bruce's SID receiver showing unusual straight-line patterns followed by dramatic signal jumps before storms
• Frequencies between 7.8-140 Hz showing abnormally high readings
• Speculation about natural atmospheric changes versus potential technological influences

Speaker 1 (01:12):
Wow, what's so big deal about Mother's Day?
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Well, it's the day we celebrate mothers.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Well, in my opinion, you ought to give them something
for putting up with you guysand gals.
That's a lot of torment formothers.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Well, that's exactly what Mother's Day is about,
Sonny.
We're supposed to give ourmothers gifts, flowers, love, a
card, something to show ourappreciation for what they went
through to raise us.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Oh, oh well, that's a good deal.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
There you go.
Now you're getting in thespirit.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Oh yeah, let's go, mothers Yay.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
All right, all right, that's the way you ought to
feel about your mom.
So Mother's Day is here.
We just want to celebrate it.
We're going to keep this reallyshort.
I hope we're not going to talka whole lot.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Oh, you always talk a whole lot.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
I have to interrupt you to get you to stop.
Uh, okay, we're moving on.
We're going to do the weathernow.
Uh, we're not.
We're not transmittingbroadcasting this live today.
We're going to stick with youknow, know, the recorded portion
, so I can get it out and get itup on the podcast hosting page
(02:54):
and I'm going to also put it onour website.
There's not going to be anydelay, I'm just going to hit
live for both of them, or that'swhat we call.
When we put it on the hostingpage and hit the button, it goes
uh out.
So with that, all baloney, saidsonny, you doing all right this
(03:15):
week yes, sir, I want to give alittle bit of the weather
report.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
it nice.
We had like two and a half daysworth of sunshine.
Saturday was beautiful.
Today looks to be anotherbeautiful day.
We were celebrating the warmweather, although last week
there was a couple rainy daysand it looked kind of blah, but
(03:48):
it came out to be a beautifulweek.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Well, that's pretty good.
Yes, it did.
I enjoyed it very much.
I'm going to get a sip of tea.
Hang on, folks, there we go,yep Tea.
What kind of tea you got thereburrs I've got my um uh roasted
dandelion tea and ginger and uhturmeric all mixed together
(04:23):
drinking hard now yes, I am.
I am drinking hard.
Okay, we're going to jump intothe weather, and he gave the
local report for the last sevendays.
I haven't looked what they'repredicting next week.
We'll have to do that.
All right, are you ready forthis, folks?
Next week, starting on Mondaythe 12th, they're predicting a
(04:47):
percentage, 55% to be exact,saying mostly cloudy with
thunderstorms, boo, boo.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
We don't need no more rain, we need some fun,
although I like running aroundout in the weeds and catching
bugs.
But okay, next story.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Okay, next story Tuesday.
They're predicting what?
88% mostly cloudy withthunderstorms.
Oh, 88%, moraine Yuck.
Wednesday partly sunny.
Thursday, mostlyuck.
Wednesday partly sunny.
Thursday mostly cloudy.
Friday mostly cloudy.
And then Saturday, sunny.
(05:31):
Now this is an outlook for thenext seven days, but it'll
probably change quite a bit.
It always does.
There's one group of peoplethat can predict something or do
something and say something andit'd be totally wrong, and
everybody goes back and watchesthem again.
Kind of funny that way, almostlike politicians, did I say that
(05:53):
.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
You said that, for sure, boo.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
All right.
Well, boo-hoo you All right.
Well, boo-hoo, you, all right.
So, looking into the weatherthen, on my little dashboard we
have 56 degrees and fair here inMount Vernon, 71% humidity and
the wind's blowing 5 miles anhour and the air quality is 46,
(06:25):
which is pretty good.
Now, if we turn it over toPhoenix, arizona, which is where
I like to kind of compare, itis 17% humidity.
Boy, they're dry.
They got 8 miles an hour windand 50 air quality, which is
(06:46):
still good.
Wow, now they say 56 degreeshere and I looked it up and we
have 54 where I'm at.
So there's still a coupledegrees difference.
So take it as you wish, butit's right around the 55 mark.
How's that sound?
And today they're predicting itgets up to 80 degrees.
(07:09):
The wind's going to be east,northeast, 9 miles an hour, some
clouds this morning, and thisis for our local area in Mount
Vernon, southern Illinois.
Yes, it will give way togenerally sunny skies.
This afternoon we're hoping weget a high of 80 degrees.
(07:31):
That would be nice, but that'swhat they're saying.
So we'll have to wait and see.
Sunrise was at 547 am andsunset will be at 756 am and
sunset will be at 7 56 am.
No, uh, 7, 56 pm.
(07:52):
Wow, uh.
Uv index will be 9 of 11, soit's starting to get high out
there on the uv.
Let's switch over to showyarizona.
Yeah, phoenix, they'repredicting it's 61 degrees as a
high today.
Wow, that's a huge difference.
(08:13):
But they're supposed to getrain, cloudy this evening, with
showers after midnight and, uh,low 61 degrees.
Wow, 61 degrees.
Wow, winds, east, northeast, atsix miles an hour.
So we got a little bit morewind pressure in this location
(08:34):
here.
Moon rise what about moon?
Moon rises at 7 22 pm and moonset will be at 4 54 a am in the
morning.
And guess what, guys?
It's a full moon tonight.
Yep, full moon.
And thank you for tuning in tothe Ugly Quacking Duck podcast.
(08:56):
That is our local weathercompared to Phoenix Arizona.
I hope you enjoyed that.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Oh boy, Are we going to start calling you Weatherman
Bruce?
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Uh, maybe.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Oh no.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Oh, there you go.
That's our switching over tothe earthquake report.
Yay, what was that it soundedlike a rubber band.
Rubber band man.
You remember that song.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Of course I don't, Duh.
How do you think I am old man?
Speaker 2 (09:36):
All right, well, anyway, that was kind of a funky
song back when I was younger.
Rubber band man, look it up.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Okay, well, I might, but I'm not that old.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Okay, well, we'll give you that.
Let's switch over to theearthquake report.
For the last seven days andit's been busy, it really has.
Let me see if I can get itswitched over here.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Won't you tell them what the earthquake report is?
Bruce, we got new listeners.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Yes, sir, that's a good idea.
I think I will.
Our earthquake report we do iswe look at the last seven days
and compare it to the lastreport we did, which hopefully
was seven days ago, butsometimes we do every two weeks
so it gets kind of hard tofollow.
But the report today is basedon the last seven days of
(10:39):
activity on earthquakes and wego by the magnitudes activity on
earthquakes and we go by themagnitudes.
We break it down to allmagnitudes, all the 2.5 and over
, and then all the 4.5 and over,and then, if there's any 6.0
and above, we read them outseparately because them are the
(11:02):
dangerous ones.
When they start getting closeto six and seven, we have damage
.
A lot of times we have peoplelose lives and we want to report
on those, those cities.
So you can pray for them.
Or, if you don't believe inprayer, just send them positive
thoughts, because then people'sgoing to need help.
(11:24):
All right, that's what it'sabout.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Well, that's not too bad.
You did a good job for an oldman.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Well, you better watch it.
I'll be shutting you outsideforever.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
No, you won't.
You like me too much.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
You wish.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
I know you wish, I know.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
All right, before you bore everybody to death with
all your whining, let's go on tothe seven-day report, shall we?
Speaker 1 (11:56):
All right, you talk me into it, bruce.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Okay, looking at the last report, we had 1,774 total,
which sounds really low, butthat's what we had.
Let's go on to the next section.
All right, switching over tothe earthquake report.
(12:28):
I just hesitated there for aminute because my sound wasn't
working right again, but we gotit.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
You better watch that thing.
I think it's going to go crazyand attack you.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
No, it's not.
It sounded good, all right,yeah, back into sci-fi, are we?
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Oh yeah, you got me watching that stuff.
You're such a bum.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Well, I'm glad you're watching that stuff now.
Yay Gives you something betterto do than gripe at me.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
No, I'll still gripe at you.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Well, that's probably true too.
Anyway, we're back to theearthquake report, and last week
I think it was on May the 4thbe with you, you know, star Wars
Day it was a total of 1,774earthquakes, which was low, but
(13:37):
we had a bunch of 6.0 and over.
So this week, you want to guess, sonny?
Speaker 1 (13:47):
You bet I do, you bet I do, and I think it's going to
go up.
Let's see.
I think it's going to be 1850or somewhere around 1800.
How's that sound?
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Well, that sounds good.
Let's see what it says.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
You know what?
This will be a good test ofyour theory, because it went
real low last week and we had abunch of 6.0 and above
earthquakes.
Didn't we have some 7s?
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Yes, sir, we did.
We had let me look, we had a6.0, a 6.5, a 7.4, and a 6.8
last week, but the overallearthquakes went down.
So there you go, that's mytheory and I'm sticking to it.
Okay, sunny guessed 1850 orsomewhere around 1800.
(14:50):
Okay, that's a pretty goodguess.
And yes, it did go up, believeit or not, but it wasn't 1800.
It went all the way up to 1923.
1,923 earthquakes, that's a lotof earthquakes, folks.
That is a lot.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
I'd say so.
Wow, it's been doing that a lotlately.
Earthquakes, folks, that is alot.
I'd say so, wow, it's beendoing that a lot lately, hasn't
it?
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Oh yeah, it's went up .
I need to go back in my bookand look to see what the highest
point was, but on 4-11, it wentup to 21-50.
And then on 4-18, it went to21,.
No 2281.
So we're getting a lot ofearthquakes.
(15:38):
That's all I got to say.
Folks, it's dangerous times.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Yes, sir, it is dangerous times.
I agree with you, bruce, but uh, I still was close.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Yeah, I guess when you can say that you was a
thousand off, but, excuse me,you was still low, that's better
than being over.
Anyhow, let's go on.
It was 1923, which I just toldyou.
(16:17):
A month ago it was 2150.
So it's lower than that.
But last week we reported thatwe had 2.5 and over 337.
This week we had 310, so itwent down a little bit on the
2.5, but the overall was up.
(16:40):
So what that usually means iswe had a lot of smaller
earthquakes, the ones that werein between the 2.5 and the zero
count of magnitude, the littlebitty ones.
They were more, and thatusually indicates you know that
you're going to release sometension, you won't have any big
(17:04):
ones.
But what we have seen is thenext week or the week after it
increases on or it decreases onoverall amount of earthquakes,
but the large earthquakes, thebig magnitude earthquakes,
(17:24):
increases.
So as long as we're gettinglittle ones, we have a bigger
total and the less big ones, butwhen the total goes down, it
seems like the bigger onesincrease.
If that all made sense, I hopeit did.
So that's your theory andyou're sticking to it.
(17:49):
I'm not sure it's a theory.
It's just that that's what wehave noticed and seen over and
over again.
It doesn't happen every time,but it's a lot, all right.
The 4.5 and over was 101.
So see, they're starting to godown into higher magnitude, even
(18:17):
though our total count was over.
So there you go, count it, takeit, bag it, there you go.
We only had one 6.0 and above,and it was a 6.0, and it was in
the southeastern or southerneast Pacific rise and that's out
(18:43):
there in the ocean.
And if you look on the map, itis a little ways out, is a
little ways out, well, quite aways out actually, from, uh, the
(19:05):
southern part of africa.
And it was the only 6.0 we had,although I want to 5.8, 5.3s,
5.6s, uh, all over the world.
I'll give you an example we haduh and uh right on the edge of
(19:30):
the asian.
We had a 5.3.
And then we had several over inSouth America, all the way down
this coast, this western coastof South America, five-point
(19:53):
earthquakes 5.3 in Chile, 5.1 inPeru.
They're just scattered here andthere.
We had in Mexico a 5.8.
Now, I normally don't read theseoff, but this is pretty, pretty
interesting and I reported thatearthquake.
(20:16):
Let me repeat that that 6.0southern east pacific rise was,
uh, on the coast of africa.
That was wrong.
I don't know why I said that itwas on the coast of south
america, way out in the ocean.
It wasn't.
It wasn't nowhere near thecoast.
But if you look down the coastof south america and then
(20:42):
towards the west out into theocean, then you'll see what they
call the south, the southerneast pacific rise, and why it's
named that way.
I have no idea, but that's afault down there and it gets
hammered all the time and therewas, uh, they dropped off.
(21:05):
Now, uh, at the end of the lastseven days last week there was
a whole bunch around Tennesseeand minor earthquakes, small
fractures.
So they haven't continued,which is probably a good thing.
We'll just have to wait and see.
(21:27):
But that's the earthquakereport for this week and that
was the weather report insouthern illinois.
Yay, hope you guys enjoyed that.
I do have one other thing towell, actually two other things
to report before we go bye-byebye-bye.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
We're not doing that.
You should have said that.
And everybody's going to shuttheir radio off or their podcast
and they won't hear us.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Yeah, my mistake, I used the word buy, I shouldn't
have.
But anyway, stick with me justfor a couple more minutes.
Hang on just a second here.
Let me pull it up.
All right, as I pull it up,I'll talk about a little bit
about it, what I've done in thepast.
I had a SID receiver in my oldwork back room and when I got
(22:21):
laid off I cleaned all myequipment up and brought it home
and I hooked it up.
Finally, out in my garage Now aSID receiver is a sudden ionic
spherics disturbance recorderand I think I said that right.
But anyway, it monitors.
Basically it monitors radiosignals around the earth and
(22:48):
then it, when a sun flare hitsthem, signals will jump up and
drop down real quick.
It's a sudden thing.
You can see the hook when ithappens and then you know
there's been a flare.
But what I started noticingwhen I turned it on a long time
(23:10):
ago, it watched other things.
So I have been watching signalsand uh it, uh last week or so,
not just last week, but the weekbefore that, so two weeks ago,
(23:30):
and I think before that it thelines are very jagged.
I mean it.
It shows a line across thegraph, but they are jagged.
They're not a straight flatline.
They're up and down, up anddown a little bitty jags and uh,
what I noticed is two weeks agothat it was solid.
(23:54):
They were just solid straightlines like nothing was happening
, and I have never seen it dothat.
It was getting signal becausethe the lines were going and I
could see on my other part ofthe graph that they were peaking
at certain points and that'sthe radio signal.
(24:17):
But what was strange is it wasjust solid, a shoe human
residence and she said that herresidence, that she was saying,
(24:39):
was solid and it wasn't doingnothing.
It was weird and that's what Iwas seeing on this graph.
Anyhow it after that bigthunderstorm we had, uh, uh, I
think it was the beginning ofthis week, it might have been
the end of last week, but thegraphs started going back to
their normal jaggedness.
But I noticed they go reallyhigh and almost off the graph
(25:01):
right before a storm.
And it's been happening here alot lately.
And if you're conspiracist, yousome people believe that we
have a harp or other kind ofsignal generators that will heat
up the atmosphere and createstorms in certain areas.
(25:21):
They even say they have aportable one, that taken it's on
a big ship that they can movearound in the ocean.
And whether all that is true orscience fiction, I'm not going
to say.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
Science fiction Yay.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
But I do know that I have been noticing that there's
a big burst of energy on thegraph and it happens down in the
lower frequencies around theSchumann resonance starts at
7.83, and I think there'sanother one at 14 hertz and 20
(26:03):
hertz.
But right around that area 7.8,all the way up to probably 140
hertz the signal is graphicallyheated up and larger and right
(26:27):
now it's doing it.
I'll try to do a a snap of thisscreen and put it on the
chapter.
We're talking about this on mypodcast.
So hopefully if you'relistening to this, you can see
that at this time Now when I'mdoing a live, I would have
showed everybody that, but we'renot going to do a live, but
(26:50):
anyway, I wanted to bring it toeverybody's attention.
The graph is jagged because it'spicking up radio signals and
they fluctuate, which you should.
So why it was straight before,I have no idea, because I've
never seen a signal stay levelthe whole time unless there
(27:11):
wasn't any atmospheric noise toget interfere with that signal.
But right now all my signalsare jumping up and down like
they normally do.
But they just increased.
They went way up past negative50.
I start my graph off atnegative 90 and it goes up to
(27:33):
negative 50, and that's usually.
They run about anywhere betweennegative 60 and negative 75,
maybe 80, and that's common, butthey peaked out way past
negative 50 this morning andthey're way high and they're all
all jostled up the same level.
(27:56):
They're different frequenciesat different points, but they're
all about the same level, whichis uncommon.
I don't know what's going on,but something's interfering with
my signal and between, like Isaid, 7.8 and about 140, now
it's jumped up to 340 hertz inbetween them areas.
(28:22):
It's sky high, it's really high, it's ridiculously high.
So I don't know what's going on.
It's definitely not a flare,because it don't react that way
when a flare hits.
Uh.
Well, yeah, it could have,could have been a flare.
I'll have to check that out.
But anyway, we're going to signwith everybody so they can go
(28:44):
out and enjoy their mother's day.
And if you're hearing thisafter mother's day, I hope you
all had a good, great day,enjoyed yourself.
And if your mothers have passedand you don't get a chance to
enjoy it with them anymore,maybe you can give somebody else
a good day, helping them out alittle bit.
But I hope somehow you enjoythe weekend.
(29:08):
So may the father's uh,blessings and gifts go with
everybody today and hope you allhave a great, wonderful,
wonderful day.
Sonny, say bye.
Speaker 1 (29:21):

Speaker 1 (00:08):
You are listening to the ugly quacking duck podcast
yep, and I am sunny and we'reglad you're aboard yes, sir, we
are glad to have you aboard.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
This is episode 108 of the worst podcast in the
known universe.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
Oh, you're still using that tagline.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Yep, still using it?
Yeah, I think it's a prettygood tagline, so I'm going to
hang on to it for a while untilI get bored of it, and then
we'll change it to somethingelse.
But again, welcome aboard.
You're listening to the UglyQuackin' Duck podcast.
This is Sunday morning.
We're doing this real earlybecause it's Mother's Day and we
(00:59):
want to get it out so peoplecan enjoy Mother's Day and
they'll know that we have saidhello and welcome to Mother's
Day and I hope everybody enjoysit.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Wow, what's so big deal about Mother's Day?
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Well, it's the day we celebrate mothers.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Well, in my opinion, you ought to give them something
for putting up with you guysand gals.
That's a lot of torment formothers.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Well, that's exactly what Mother's Day is about,
Sonny.
We're supposed to give ourmothers gifts, flowers, love, a
card, something to show ourappreciation for what they went
through to raise us.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Oh, oh well, that's a good deal.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
There you go.
Now you're getting in thespirit.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Oh yeah, let's go, mothers Yay.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
All right, all right, that's the way you ought to
feel about your mom.
So Mother's Day is here.
We just want to celebrate it.
We're going to keep this reallyshort.
I hope we're not going to talka whole lot.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Oh, you always talk a whole lot.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
I have to interrupt you to get you to stop.
Uh, okay, we're moving on.
We're going to do the weathernow.
Uh, we're not.
We're not transmittingbroadcasting this live today.
We're going to stick with youknow, know, the recorded portion
, so I can get it out and get itup on the podcast hosting page
(02:54):
and I'm going to also put it onour website.
There's not going to be anydelay, I'm just going to hit
live for both of them, or that'swhat we call.
When we put it on the hostingpage and hit the button, it goes
uh out.
So with that, all baloney, saidsonny, you doing all right this
(03:15):
week yes, sir, I want to give alittle bit of the weather
report.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
it nice.
We had like two and a half daysworth of sunshine.
Saturday was beautiful.
Today looks to be anotherbeautiful day.
We were celebrating the warmweather, although last week
there was a couple rainy daysand it looked kind of blah, but
(03:48):
it came out to be a beautifulweek.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Well, that's pretty good.
Yes, it did.
I enjoyed it very much.
I'm going to get a sip of tea.
Hang on, folks, there we go,yep Tea.
What kind of tea you got thereburrs I've got my um uh roasted
dandelion tea and ginger and uhturmeric all mixed together
(04:23):
drinking hard now yes, I am.
I am drinking hard.
Okay, we're going to jump intothe weather, and he gave the
local report for the last sevendays.
I haven't looked what they'repredicting next week.
We'll have to do that.
All right, are you ready forthis, folks?
Next week, starting on Mondaythe 12th, they're predicting a
(04:47):
percentage, 55% to be exact,saying mostly cloudy with
thunderstorms, boo, boo.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
We don't need no more rain, we need some fun,
although I like running aroundout in the weeds and catching
bugs.
But okay, next story.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Okay, next story Tuesday.
They're predicting what?
88% mostly cloudy withthunderstorms.
Oh, 88%, moraine Yuck.
Wednesday partly sunny.
Thursday, mostlyuck.
Wednesday partly sunny.
Thursday mostly cloudy.
Friday mostly cloudy.
And then Saturday, sunny.
(05:31):
Now this is an outlook for thenext seven days, but it'll
probably change quite a bit.
It always does.
There's one group of peoplethat can predict something or do
something and say something andit'd be totally wrong, and
everybody goes back and watchesthem again.
Kind of funny that way, almostlike politicians, did I say that
(05:53):
.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
You said that, for sure, boo.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
All right.
Well, boo-hoo you All right.
Well, boo-hoo, you, all right.
So, looking into the weatherthen, on my little dashboard we
have 56 degrees and fair here inMount Vernon, 71% humidity and
the wind's blowing 5 miles anhour and the air quality is 46,
(06:25):
which is pretty good.
Now, if we turn it over toPhoenix, arizona, which is where
I like to kind of compare, itis 17% humidity.
Boy, they're dry.
They got 8 miles an hour windand 50 air quality, which is
(06:46):
still good.
Wow, now they say 56 degreeshere and I looked it up and we
have 54 where I'm at.
So there's still a coupledegrees difference.
So take it as you wish, butit's right around the 55 mark.
How's that sound?
And today they're predicting itgets up to 80 degrees.
(07:09):
The wind's going to be east,northeast, 9 miles an hour, some
clouds this morning, and thisis for our local area in Mount
Vernon, southern Illinois.
Yes, it will give way togenerally sunny skies.
This afternoon we're hoping weget a high of 80 degrees.
(07:31):
That would be nice, but that'swhat they're saying.
So we'll have to wait and see.
Sunrise was at 547 am andsunset will be at 756 am and
sunset will be at 7 56 am.
No, uh, 7, 56 pm.
(07:52):
Wow, uh.
Uv index will be 9 of 11, soit's starting to get high out
there on the uv.
Let's switch over to showyarizona.
Yeah, phoenix, they'repredicting it's 61 degrees as a
high today.
Wow, that's a huge difference.
(08:13):
But they're supposed to getrain, cloudy this evening, with
showers after midnight and, uh,low 61 degrees.
Wow, 61 degrees.
Wow, winds, east, northeast, atsix miles an hour.
So we got a little bit morewind pressure in this location
(08:34):
here.
Moon rise what about moon?
Moon rises at 7 22 pm and moonset will be at 4 54 a am in the
morning.
And guess what, guys?
It's a full moon tonight.
Yep, full moon.
And thank you for tuning in tothe Ugly Quacking Duck podcast.
(08:56):
That is our local weathercompared to Phoenix Arizona.
I hope you enjoyed that.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Oh boy, Are we going to start calling you Weatherman
Bruce?
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Uh, maybe.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Oh no.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Oh, there you go.
That's our switching over tothe earthquake report.
Yay, what was that it soundedlike a rubber band.
Rubber band man.
You remember that song.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Of course I don't, Duh.
How do you think I am old man?
Speaker 2 (09:36):
All right, well, anyway, that was kind of a funky
song back when I was younger.
Rubber band man, look it up.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Okay, well, I might, but I'm not that old.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
Okay, well, we'll give you that.
Let's switch over to theearthquake report.
For the last seven days andit's been busy, it really has.
Let me see if I can get itswitched over here.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Won't you tell them what the earthquake report is?
Bruce, we got new listeners.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Yes, sir, that's a good idea.
I think I will.
Our earthquake report we do iswe look at the last seven days
and compare it to the lastreport we did, which hopefully
was seven days ago, butsometimes we do every two weeks
so it gets kind of hard tofollow.
But the report today is basedon the last seven days of
(10:39):
activity on earthquakes and wego by the magnitudes activity on
earthquakes and we go by themagnitudes.
We break it down to allmagnitudes, all the 2.5 and over
, and then all the 4.5 and over,and then, if there's any 6.0
and above, we read them outseparately because them are the
(11:02):
dangerous ones.
When they start getting closeto six and seven, we have damage
.
A lot of times we have peoplelose lives and we want to report
on those, those cities.
So you can pray for them.
Or, if you don't believe inprayer, just send them positive
thoughts, because then people'sgoing to need help.
(11:24):
All right, that's what it'sabout.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
Well, that's not too bad.
You did a good job for an oldman.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Well, you better watch it.
I'll be shutting you outsideforever.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
No, you won't.
You like me too much.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
You wish.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
I know you wish, I know.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
All right, before you bore everybody to death with
all your whining, let's go on tothe seven-day report, shall we?
Speaker 1 (11:56):
All right, you talk me into it, bruce.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
Okay, looking at the last report, we had 1,774 total,
which sounds really low, butthat's what we had.
Let's go on to the next section.
All right, switching over tothe earthquake report.
(12:28):
I just hesitated there for aminute because my sound wasn't
working right again, but we gotit.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
You better watch that thing.
I think it's going to go crazyand attack you.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
No, it's not.
It sounded good, all right,yeah, back into sci-fi, are we?
Speaker 1 (12:53):
Oh yeah, you got me watching that stuff.
You're such a bum.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Well, I'm glad you're watching that stuff now.
Yay Gives you something betterto do than gripe at me.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
No, I'll still gripe at you.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Well, that's probably true too.
Anyway, we're back to theearthquake report, and last week
I think it was on May the 4thbe with you, you know, star Wars
Day it was a total of 1,774earthquakes, which was low, but
(13:37):
we had a bunch of 6.0 and over.
So this week, you want to guess, sonny?
Speaker 1 (13:47):
You bet I do, you bet I do, and I think it's going to
go up.
Let's see.
I think it's going to be 1850or somewhere around 1800.
How's that sound?
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Well, that sounds good.
Let's see what it says.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
You know what?
This will be a good test ofyour theory, because it went
real low last week and we had abunch of 6.0 and above
earthquakes.
Didn't we have some 7s?
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Yes, sir, we did.
We had let me look, we had a6.0, a 6.5, a 7.4, and a 6.8
last week, but the overallearthquakes went down.
So there you go, that's mytheory and I'm sticking to it.
Okay, sunny guessed 1850 orsomewhere around 1800.
(14:50):
Okay, that's a pretty goodguess.
And yes, it did go up, believeit or not, but it wasn't 1800.
It went all the way up to 1923.
1,923 earthquakes, that's a lotof earthquakes, folks.
That is a lot.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
I'd say so.
Wow, it's been doing that a lotlately.
Earthquakes, folks, that is alot.
I'd say so, wow, it's beendoing that a lot lately, hasn't
it?
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Oh yeah, it's went up .
I need to go back in my bookand look to see what the highest
point was, but on 4-11, it wentup to 21-50.
And then on 4-18, it went to21,.
No 2281.
So we're getting a lot ofearthquakes.
(15:38):
That's all I got to say.
Folks, it's dangerous times.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Yes, sir, it is dangerous times.
I agree with you, bruce, but uh, I still was close.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
Yeah, I guess when you can say that you was a
thousand off, but, excuse me,you was still low, that's better
than being over.
Anyhow, let's go on.
It was 1923, which I just toldyou.
(16:17):
A month ago it was 2150.
So it's lower than that.
But last week we reported thatwe had 2.5 and over 337.
This week we had 310, so itwent down a little bit on the
2.5, but the overall was up.
(16:40):
So what that usually means iswe had a lot of smaller
earthquakes, the ones that werein between the 2.5 and the zero
count of magnitude, the littlebitty ones.
They were more, and thatusually indicates you know that
you're going to release sometension, you won't have any big
(17:04):
ones.
But what we have seen is thenext week or the week after it
increases on or it decreases onoverall amount of earthquakes,
but the large earthquakes, thebig magnitude earthquakes,
(17:24):
increases.
So as long as we're gettinglittle ones, we have a bigger
total and the less big ones, butwhen the total goes down, it
seems like the bigger onesincrease.
If that all made sense, I hopeit did.
So that's your theory andyou're sticking to it.
(17:49):
I'm not sure it's a theory.
It's just that that's what wehave noticed and seen over and
over again.
It doesn't happen every time,but it's a lot, all right.
The 4.5 and over was 101.
So see, they're starting to godown into higher magnitude, even
(18:17):
though our total count was over.
So there you go, count it, takeit, bag it, there you go.
We only had one 6.0 and above,and it was a 6.0, and it was in
the southeastern or southerneast Pacific rise and that's out
(18:43):
there in the ocean.
And if you look on the map, itis a little ways out, is a
little ways out, well, quite aways out actually, from, uh, the
(19:05):
southern part of africa.
And it was the only 6.0 we had,although I want to 5.8, 5.3s,
5.6s, uh, all over the world.
I'll give you an example we haduh and uh right on the edge of
(19:30):
the asian.
We had a 5.3.
And then we had several over inSouth America, all the way down
this coast, this western coastof South America, five-point
(19:53):
earthquakes 5.3 in Chile, 5.1 inPeru.
They're just scattered here andthere.
We had in Mexico a 5.8.
Now, I normally don't read theseoff, but this is pretty, pretty
interesting and I reported thatearthquake.
(20:16):
Let me repeat that that 6.0southern east pacific rise was,
uh, on the coast of africa.
That was wrong.
I don't know why I said that itwas on the coast of south
america, way out in the ocean.
It wasn't.
It wasn't nowhere near thecoast.
But if you look down the coastof south america and then
(20:42):
towards the west out into theocean, then you'll see what they
call the south, the southerneast pacific rise, and why it's
named that way.
I have no idea, but that's afault down there and it gets
hammered all the time and therewas, uh, they dropped off.
(21:05):
Now, uh, at the end of the lastseven days last week there was
a whole bunch around Tennesseeand minor earthquakes, small
fractures.
So they haven't continued,which is probably a good thing.
We'll just have to wait and see.
(21:27):
But that's the earthquakereport for this week and that
was the weather report insouthern illinois.
Yay, hope you guys enjoyed that.
I do have one other thing towell, actually two other things
to report before we go bye-byebye-bye.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
We're not doing that.
You should have said that.
And everybody's going to shuttheir radio off or their podcast
and they won't hear us.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Yeah, my mistake, I used the word buy, I shouldn't
have.
But anyway, stick with me justfor a couple more minutes.
Hang on just a second here.
Let me pull it up.
All right, as I pull it up,I'll talk about a little bit
about it, what I've done in thepast.
I had a SID receiver in my oldwork back room and when I got
(22:21):
laid off I cleaned all myequipment up and brought it home
and I hooked it up.
Finally, out in my garage Now aSID receiver is a sudden ionic
spherics disturbance recorderand I think I said that right.
But anyway, it monitors.
Basically it monitors radiosignals around the earth and
(22:48):
then it, when a sun flare hitsthem, signals will jump up and
drop down real quick.
It's a sudden thing.
You can see the hook when ithappens and then you know
there's been a flare.
But what I started noticingwhen I turned it on a long time
(23:10):
ago, it watched other things.
So I have been watching signalsand uh it, uh last week or so,
not just last week, but the weekbefore that, so two weeks ago,
(23:30):
and I think before that it thelines are very jagged.
I mean it.
It shows a line across thegraph, but they are jagged.
They're not a straight flatline.
They're up and down, up anddown a little bitty jags and uh,
what I noticed is two weeks agothat it was solid.
(23:54):
They were just solid straightlines like nothing was happening
, and I have never seen it dothat.
It was getting signal becausethe the lines were going and I
could see on my other part ofthe graph that they were peaking
at certain points and that'sthe radio signal.
(24:17):
But what was strange is it wasjust solid, a shoe human
residence and she said that herresidence, that she was saying,
(24:39):
was solid and it wasn't doingnothing.
It was weird and that's what Iwas seeing on this graph.
Anyhow it after that bigthunderstorm we had, uh, uh, I
think it was the beginning ofthis week, it might have been
the end of last week, but thegraphs started going back to
their normal jaggedness.
But I noticed they go reallyhigh and almost off the graph
(25:01):
right before a storm.
And it's been happening here alot lately.
And if you're conspiracist, yousome people believe that we
have a harp or other kind ofsignal generators that will heat
up the atmosphere and createstorms in certain areas.
(25:21):
They even say they have aportable one, that taken it's on
a big ship that they can movearound in the ocean.
And whether all that is true orscience fiction, I'm not going
to say.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
Science fiction Yay.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
But I do know that I have been noticing that there's
a big burst of energy on thegraph and it happens down in the
lower frequencies around theSchumann resonance starts at
7.83, and I think there'sanother one at 14 hertz and 20
(26:03):
hertz.
But right around that area 7.8,all the way up to probably 140
hertz the signal is graphicallyheated up and larger and right
(26:27):
now it's doing it.
I'll try to do a a snap of thisscreen and put it on the
chapter.
We're talking about this on mypodcast.
So hopefully if you'relistening to this, you can see
that at this time Now when I'mdoing a live, I would have
showed everybody that, but we'renot going to do a live, but
(26:50):
anyway, I wanted to bring it toeverybody's attention.
The graph is jagged because it'spicking up radio signals and
they fluctuate, which you should.
So why it was straight before,I have no idea, because I've
never seen a signal stay levelthe whole time unless there
(27:11):
wasn't any atmospheric noise toget interfere with that signal.
But right now all my signalsare jumping up and down like
they normally do.
But they just increased.
They went way up past negative50.
I start my graph off atnegative 90 and it goes up to
(27:33):
negative 50, and that's usually.
They run about anywhere betweennegative 60 and negative 75,
maybe 80, and that's common, butthey peaked out way past
negative 50 this morning andthey're way high and they're all
all jostled up the same level.
(27:56):
They're different frequenciesat different points, but they're
all about the same level, whichis uncommon.
I don't know what's going on,but something's interfering with
my signal and between, like Isaid, 7.8 and about 140, now
it's jumped up to 340 hertz inbetween them areas.
(28:22):
It's sky high, it's really high, it's ridiculously high.
So I don't know what's going on.
It's definitely not a flare,because it don't react that way
when a flare hits.
Uh.
Well, yeah, it could have,could have been a flare.
I'll have to check that out.
But anyway, we're going to signwith everybody so they can go
(28:44):
out and enjoy their mother's day.
And if you're hearing thisafter mother's day, I hope you
all had a good, great day,enjoyed yourself.
And if your mothers have passedand you don't get a chance to
enjoy it with them anymore,maybe you can give somebody else
a good day, helping them out alittle bit.
But I hope somehow you enjoythe weekend.
(29:08):
So may the father's uh,blessings and gifts go with
everybody today and hope you allhave a great, wonderful,
wonderful day.
Sonny, say bye.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
I will and I want to thank everybody.
