The City of Lubbock closed three out of the four pools this Summer due to some repairs that were needing to be made but were too extreme. There were talks of splash pads to replace those pools that needed the repairs and more details were revealed via social media along with design concepts. So while Summer is coming to an end and we get ready for those splash pads we can still enjoy the fruits of the Summer, or at least September. It seems to be that middle season where it's not yet Summer or Fall but instead when Summer and Fall just meet each other and with that comes all the amazing fruit and vegetables that were grown. There is certain produce that is better harvested in September compared to other months.

Date: August 26, 2023 In the early hours of August 26, 2023, residents of Los Ybanez, Texas and its surrounding areas experienced a minor earthquake that registered at a magnitude of 3.1 on the Richter scale. The seismic event originated 29 kilometers (approximately 18 miles) south-southwest of Los Ybanez, Texas, at a depth of 9.07 kilometers (approximately 5.6 miles). The tremor occurred at 2:42 am local time, briefly unsettling local communities and sparking conversations about seismic activity in the region. While a magnitude of 3.1 is considered a relatively minor event, earthquakes of this size can still be felt by nearby residents. The United States Geological Survey (USGS) defines earthquakes of this magnitude as "minor," usually resulting in vibrations that may be noticeable but rarely cause significant damage. In this case, the earthquake's shallow depth likely contributed to its perceptibility. Seismic activity in Texas is not uncommon, though it is generally less frequent and less intense than in other earthquake-prone regions around the world. The state sits atop various fault lines, including the Balcones Fault Zone, which stretches from west-central Texas to the southwest. These fault lines can occasionally release accumulated stress, resulting in earthquakes of varying magnitudes. It's important to note that while this particular earthquake did not result in any immediate reports of damage or injuries, local residents were reminded of the need to remain prepared for seismic events. Earthquake readiness includes having an emergency kit on hand, securing heavy furniture and objects, and having a plan in place for communication and evacuation if necessary. The occurrence of this minor earthquake also emphasizes the value of ongoing seismic monitoring efforts. Organizations like the USGS and state geological agencies continuously monitor seismic activity in order to understand patterns and trends, improve earthquake prediction models, and provide timely information to communities that could be affected by such events. In conclusion, the 3.1 magnitude earthquake near Los Ybanez, Texas, serves as a reminder that seismic activity can occur unexpectedly, even in regions not commonly associated with earthquakes. While this event did not cause significant damage, it underscores the importance of preparedness and ongoing monitoring to ensure the safety and well-being of communities in the face of natural events like earthquakes.
