Holy crap! Where did THAT come from? In this shorter episode, Breana talks about a meteor that essentially exploded in the air over Russia. Were those people shocked! Brett takes us back further in time for an Avalanche in the Pacific Northwest (1910 Wellington Avalanche) that took down a train with it and halted the movement of others. One had death, one didn't. Have a listen to find out which.

Thundersnow? Like THUNDER? AND SNOW? This grand phenomenon has been on our minds recently and Brett breaks down the science behind it and some personal experiences. It's pretty clear Brett and Bre get as excited as Jim Cantore did when he experienced thundersnow (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdRWGMyeSYY).

While there wasn't much of modern plumbing in the 1800s, there was some crazy stuff going on on the west coast. Breana starts us off in 1889 with the Great Seattle fire which is why there is an underground Seattle there. Including setting some false facts straight!

For three days in 1993

Along the whole east coast

Was the storm of a Century

Where the mountains got the most

It was chilly and cold

No power around

Well, I am told

This snow will be sticking to the ground

Brett will reveal to us

How it all went down

It gave the states quite a fuss

affecting town to town

but it is not over quite yet

Bre will tell us about a ship

Three days later came a threat

Titanic did not last

After it hit an iceberg

There were icebergs in the forecast

One of them became a slicer

So let's take a moment to relax

And listen to the your hosts tell tales

Both with quite the emotional tax

Of what can happen when you set sails

Come hang out!
