I wonder what is going on in Puerto Rico at the moment they hae had a
series of smallish earthquakes:

Australia and the African lake lands are all getting quite serious
flooding.

More of the same with the spell ushered in with this morning's lunar
phase. Interesting to note the barometer seems stable, as it has been
all week. Whilst I have had some bad twinges today and I daresay quite
a few people who suffer with the weather will be feeling ill this week,
the forecasts are all spot on -if a little uncertain.

It is a run of two similar spells and is not due to end with the next
phase. So be prepared for another shake up or sea change at the end of
the month/early February.

It would appear then, that far from the weather being precursor and
warning of earthquakes, that eathquakes are also a precursor to the
weather.

Also; it would seem that the Creator has set thing out so that those
discerning are capable of fine tuning the geophysics of their region to
make the most of dire warnings.
Interesting stuff!

From the Wikipedia:.

"It is in the Principia that Newton expressed his famous Hypotheses non
fingo ("I feign no hypotheses", that is, "I do not assert that any
hypotheses are true"). Here is the translated passage containing this
famous remark:

I have not as yet been able to discover the reason for these properties
of gravity from phenomena, and I do not feign hypotheses. For whatever
is not deduced from the phenomena must be called a hypothesis; and
hypotheses, whether metaphysical or physical, or based on occult
qualities, or mechanical, have no place in experimental philosophy.

In this philosophy particular propositions are inferred from the
phenomena, and afterwards rendered general by induction.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philoso...ia_Mathematica

Neither do I propose an hypothesis. Just sticking to the facts and not
hiding them in scholarly dressage is good enough for me. And if it's
good enough for me, it's good enough for anybody.

I imagine the term: "experimental philosophy" meant what we would (or
should, rather) call "science": Sentient facts applied to a department
of knowledge -such as, in this case, Physics.

rantSadly journalism and the new religion have seen to it that the
modern term "science" has become mere "philosophy" these days. But
fools and horses are made to be ridden I suppose?/rant

We have known for a while* that severe typhoons in the Asian Pacific
are often accompanied by seismic disturbances. It would appear that
these things, like the newly hypothesised discovery in Puerto Rico are
also a part of the geography of the Western North Atlantic. Or is it a
phenomenon of the confluences of oceans?

It would also appear that such geophysical phenomenae are as regional
as the phenomena whereby Western USA suffer severe drought when the
eastern seaboard is freezing or in flood.

I must pay more attention to these things, since I am the only one who
dares to.



* We have known because I have told you some time ago.
If you did not know by now it is your fault not mine. Any sensible
student of the earth sciences that is not an avid follower of me, is an
idiot and deserevs the penury of darkness he embeds himself in.

So it begins: 7.7M 2006/01/27 16:58 BANDA SEA

A couple of days early but never mind, we were all on the watch were we
not?

I wrote this yeaterday: Intense Lows over Newfoundland, the Antarctic
Peninsula and Kuril Islands.

I'm having my usual stomach disorder but nothing osseous ATM. No wind
no thunder and nothing exciting showing up on the maps.

I am not feeling a lot better yet. Coincidence? Perhaps.
