Damaging earthquakes are inevitable in the Bay region
pubs.usgs.gov/fs/2003/fs039-03/


Using newly collected data and evolving theories of earthquake occurrence, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and other scientists now conclude that there is a 62% probability of at least one magnitude 6.7 or greater quake, capable of causing widespread damage, striking somewhere in the San Francisco Bay region before 2032. A major quake can occur in any part of this densely populated region. Therefore, there is an ongoing need for all communities in the Bay region to continue preparing for the quakes that will strike in the future.

TEXAS LONGNOSE SNAKE
RJH boys identified this snake during Internet research in computer lab

I got a picture of this snake (yellow on red) slithering across the road west of Rochester.

We wanted to make sure it wasn't a Coral snake.

The Dangerous Brown Recluse Spider
Please be careful. Spider bites are dangerous and can have permanent and highly negative consequences.

They like the darkness and tend to live in storage sheds or attics or other areas that might not be frequented by people or light.

If you have a need to be in your attic, cellar, etc., go there and turn on a light and leave it on for about 30 minutes before you go in to do your work!

The Brown Recluse Spider is the most dangerous spider that we have in the USA

The following picture shows the result of a bite.
