Skipped foolishness. I see no point in getting invlved with peple who
willfully decide on mischief. It only detracts from my own composure.

Any latecomers can see for themselves if they are different or not:

As it happens, the overall scope is different in the the US chart
compared to the UK one. There is less human input in the US one for
one thing. No doubt the met officers working on them are not phased by
things.

So no quake just yet. The big one will come though. I didn't call it a
syndrome because of a fluke.

Several interesting pictures came up in the collection on the UK
charts I collected. One of them is the rotation of the three Lows in
the region just west of Britain during the last spell.

If you bother to peruse a set covering the last week or two, you will
see what I mean. WetterZentrale has an archive of them. Otherwise it
is a long drag down the motorway. (What stupid fool thought that one
up? Margaret Thatcher?)

Follow the 1016 mb line in the US chart. Why does it do that? Why
don't highs bleed into lows with more fluidity?

*******

As for the ability to forecast earthquakes from such charts, take a
look at the Low off the Hebrides for the spell that ran from the 18th
to the 25th of July. On the 22nd, it was in Greece (and Bertha was
across Iceland) by and large there seemed to be a radical change in
the cartoon.

It might be worth searching whatever databases, to compare the
Atlantic chart with any records of Japanese quakes of Magnitude 5 or
more. IIRC, we are about the same distance globally from Japan as the
confluence off Cape Hatteras is from the various Chilean and Aleutian
quakes that occur in that centre's remit.

I can remember when I started searching for answers, listening to the
BBC's Shipping Bulletins (before the clowns there improved it John
Birt and Margaret Thatcherism again IIRATAA) and finding the Lows off
the Hebrides have a cathartic effect on British weather as far as it
affected me in those days.

It seems to have come full circle with the fluidity that these things
have in the lives of us touched. Hebridean Lows and Japanese
earthquakes. Possibly...
I'll post a list of speculations later.
