Texas Heat!

A storm was heading in to north Texas last night so I checked my weather app and noticed that the temperature was registering 113 and a feels like temperature of 304.  I guess Texas heat feels like hell sometimes.  In reality I think the temp was around the 70's all night long.

Irving Tx rocked by 10th earthquake in 24 hours.

At approximately 8:34 CST Irving Texas was hit by the 10th earthquake in 24 hours.  Irving has been rocked by an average of 2-3 earthquakes a week since around October.  The cause is believed to be related to fracking in the area for natural gas.  The first earthquake happened January 6th in the late afternoon and was a 3.5.  Since that time nine additional earthquakes have hit the area including the largest so far a 3.6.

Their isn't any solid proof yet that fracking is the cause but some studies are being conducted and the results look to be conclusive that fracking is causing the earthquakes.  Does theis mean that damage done to property should be repaired by the companies that are fracking.

Second Ebola patient test positive in Dallas.

I woke up this morning to news that a second patient at Texas Health and Presbyterian has tested positive for Ebola.  They haven't announced yet the name of the new Ebola patient.  She is a female and she was one of the medical staff that treated Duncan.  Duncan died last week after a long battle with the virus.  The first patient to contract Ebola Nina Pham is recovering well.

It makes you wonder how it's being reported that Ebola is hard to catch, but all of these nurses and medical staff that are in protective suits are catching it.  A nurse in Spain was in full protectiv gear and caught the virus as well.  Several possible cases have popped up but they have tested negative.  A deputy that served an isolation warrant Duncans family began feeling sick a few days after serving the warrant.  He went to a Carenow clinic which was immediately locked down.  He tested negative and was released.

It's a scary time in Dallas right now.  Many of my friends and family are gripped to the news about anything to do with Ebola.  It's scary to think something so deadly is in my city and could affect me and my family.

Bear Creek Park Keller Texas

Bear Creek Park in Keller Texas is one of my favorite little parks to visit.  I grew up going to Bear Creek almost every week when I was little.  Bear Creek Park Keller Texas has a lot of fun things to do.  Fishing, hiking sports and picnics are a few of the things you can do.  There is a sand volleyball court, bathroom and pavilion in the center.
