Anniversary of the Oklahoma City Bombing (4/19/1995)
Today marks the 18th anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing. I was in down town OKC today, but it wasn't very active there. Security also didn't seem tighter then usual. Though I was unnerved being in a Federal building at the time. They have been looking for the remaining Boston Bomber Suspect (other one killed in shoot out with police). The city of Boston has been placed under Marshall law as Police and Soldiers go door to door looking for the nineteen your old suspect, who is originally from Chechnya. Only a little while ago was mass transit allowed to open back up after having been locked down. I think the suspect is dead already. Where would he hide? I believe he has either hid really well with a friend or relative or has killed himself.
I have also been taking the occasional glance at the night sky looking for the "bright" comet, but haven't been able to positively identify it. I think I have seen Venus and Mars and a point of light that maybe is the comet, but probably isn't. Either way it hasn't proven to be spectacular at all. I did notice a blue or purple 'star' though, that I haven't been able to identify either. There is a Hopi prophecy about the end of the age coming with the appearance of a blue star. The recent outbreak of earthquakes in Oklahoma has me wondering if we aren't getting ready for a bigger event. Although we did have our big one in November of 2011, I am looking forward to another 'big one'. Whats wrong with me do you ask? Well, bad weather, meteor impacts and pandemics really get me going. I am probably one of the few people who get excited at the coming destruction of something. Experiencing that earthquake was just too cool an experience to pass up again...even if I do get flattened by whatever building I am inside. Makes for a good story the next morning at work, know what I mean? Oklahoma has three faults worth focusing on. The Wilzeta fault in south west Ok near Lawton, the Seminole Uplift (which was likely responsible for the 11/11 shock) and a fault line that runs just underneath Oklahoma City. Norman, OK has also had it's share of quakes.
I have had a pretty good day today. No big complaints. No complaints at all really. I hope tonight is just as good if not better. It's Friday evening and I hope it's not dull. Full of fun in a college town. The weather today was warm with a slight shill. The sun shined in the afternoon. The night should be some what cold. Cold weather coming again for OK next week (again...the winter shows no signs of stopping-even thought we were 'supposed' to have an early spring).
Woe to the Earth! You are about to loose a great jewel!
I feel him approaching.
I feel him coming night.
Looks like I was wrong in assuming the suspect was dead. I also never did see the comet. I am waiting to see Comet ISON, but that may be a bust too. Havent had a note worthy earthquake in Oklahoma since I wrote this, but a few nights ago we had earthquakes in Medford (north Oklahoma near Kansas).
