by Chris Martenson

It seems as if Mother Nature is waking up. Either she's trying to send humans an important warning, or perhaps she's just out to kill us all.

Massive storms across the globe, earthquakes, and collapsing ecosystems all combine to remind us that we are indeed intimately connected to our planet's natural systems. And that our well-being rests on staying on Mother Nature's good side.

Harvey Is A Major Still-Unfolding Disaster

by Chris Martenson

Superstorm Harvey continues to wreak epic damage to Texas, particularly Houston.

But it’s not the wind, it’s the rain. Epic, record-breaking, unbelievable amounts of rain.

It’s entirely possible that the entire region will not get back ‘to normal’ for months, if not years.

Storm Advisory: Hurricane Sandy Coming

by JW

A weather advisory to be aware of for this weekend is Hurricane Sandy. It is currently affecting Cuba, Haiti, and the Caribbean and will be approaching the U.S. East Coast over the coming days. Evaluate your winter storm preparations and supplies and monitor this storm over the next few days. Check your equipment and replenish your supplies now before the storm and beat the last minute rush. Better to be 3 days early than 1 day late.
