Default The China Syndrome

I was wondering whether the dying back of my aunt Flos purple sprouting
broccolli and the recent tidal wave in Abu Dhabi were connected, the
explanation of other events from the weatherlawyer makes you think donnit
.......

That major quake in Szechuan China some weeks ago, occurred with quite
a spate of tornadoes in the USA. This led me to suspect that there is
a relationship with them.


Some years ago I noticed a relationship with arthritis and
earthquakes, then storms in Madagasgar then tornadoes in the USA.


For some reason I thought I could "get" when there was a spate of
tornadoes as they were a "given" with attacks of cramp.


So here I am now, looking at the relationship between Californian
quakes, USA's Mid Western tornadoes and Chinese earthquakes. There are
no reports of tornadoes in the USA at the moment. In fact there is a
marked paucity of the weather related to them:

What there is is this:
5.8 M. 08/01. 32.0 N. 104.7 E. CHINA


I damn near flunked statistics but I thought that correlations were
never proof of causation for anything - no matter how much you
correlate.


And that is why I am not interested in Laws and Proofs that only serve
to break the minds of youngsters that should be out in god's good
earth earning a living and having money in their pockets.

All I am trying to do is point out obvious flaws in the concepts,
beliefs and theories the unwary follow as though there is some
religious providence in them, instead of being prepared for the worst
when it looks like the planet is Going Postal.

As it happens I started doing this because there was a religious
controversy brewing in the New Russia when one of the satellite
states in it had suffered a devastating earthquake.

I was thinking people would be writing that off as an act of god
(whilst the BBC was carefully only reporting which religious
denomination got provenance for a thousand years of sheep shearing.)

The woefully inadequate help the Azerbaijani's received went on not
happening for years. But worst of all was the quake happened in a
wintery spell when the homeless survivors could have used the shelter
that neither so called Christian church was offering.

Take a look at this chart and tell me if there is a relationship with
the Highs and Lows reaching into the North Atlantic from the Carolinas
and the number of low intensity earthquakes occurring on the other
side of North America:

I can't remember which it is supposed to be Highs or Lows and it will
mean me search my computer for the graphics I saved, before I can find
out. Blow that.

I can wait for the next installment.

I think you can find archives of these charts and of course the NEIC
list is intimately searchable. (Nothing like the state of the art in
Exitdoor.)

All I am offering is a short-hand way of looking at things that are
just as meaningful as watching a weather forecast is in foretelling
the situation in your region. YMWV!

It is beyond statistical analysis. It's easier to Zen it and just give
QEDs pudding ate that way.

However, long term data analysis will throw up interesting bell
curves.

Here is another one:

The North Atlantic chart from there is giving a different picture of
events altogether from the one on he
http://www.cuckney.pwp.blueyonder.co...r/Dorridge.htm

When the charts vary remarkably, when meteorologists are wrong or
unsure of their forecasts, then be sure that a severe earthquake is
pending. You usually get a few days to prepare.

There is almost always time to purchase a can for water (keep it half
full for fear compression will burst it) a mobile phone (keep it
topped up as the lines will blank initially) a whistle (keep it on a
lanyard around your neck) and a pick and shovel (for digging your
neighbours out of an hole or for digging an hole for disposing of your
waste.)

And there is usually time for people like me to make predictions about
them. This spell has changed from that mind-wipingly muggy one we just
had. Whether it is supposed to be a damp fresh "not all that
unpleasant" spell, I can't say.

If it isn't, the quake will arrive mid-spell, as it rights itself. If
things are plodding on nicely, the quake will arrive at the end of the
synergy. That is when all the parts of the syndrome synergise.
Afterwards, you will see the Low in the North Atlantic has faded away
or moved half a continent.

Whether I am deluding myself or am being blessed by a most remarkable
"being" remains to be seen. I am not dying to find out if I don't have
to. (Hope dei, die I ex all.)

Well that's enough of me being cleva. Time to get out in the garden.
Byee.
