Last night the extreme cold in Russia was on the news with tales of
evacuating whole cities when their power stations packed up.

And of course the survivors of the shambles that was the earthquake on
the Indian Pakistani border have been badly hit. 200 died in the first
week of the year:

"The bitter cold of winter settled ferociously over the interior of
Asia during the first week of 2006. A large mass of Siberian air swept
as far south as India and as far east as Japan, enveloping much of Asia
with uncommonly low temperatures. In many places, the cold weather was
accompanied by crippling snow. Among the most severely affected were
the 200,000-plus people stranded in northwestern China when heavy snow
fell over the region, reported United Press International. The cold
snap also levied a heavy toll on northern India, where an estimated 200
had died of the cold as of January 9, said the BBC."

Darryl has replaced Clare. I wonder what the records are for cyclones
down under.

Puerto Rico had severe flooding as did SW Africa and California has
forest fires. All because of 2 wet spells in the UK (where it has been
misty.)

Things seem to be picking up tectonically:
6.4Mag. 2006/01/23. 06:02. VANUATU. Which is a steady build up from a
few days earlier.

Once more this is what is working it:

The time of the phase on Jan 6th was 18:56; which if divided by 3 gives
a remainder of 1 hour, more or less. Whatever is resonating through the
earth, one point of its focus (or a crest?) is hitting the 15 degree
west longitude. (Courtesy the British Board of Trade and the US /
Canadian railway network.) And probably again at 60 and 120 degree
intervals.

Similarly, the full moon on the 14th Jan. was at 09:48; another phase
with the remainder of 1 (to within 12 minutes.)

Jan. 22nd on the other hand is a different type of wet spell. At 15:14
however this is a thundery one. If we don't get a mag 7 or more quake
with this spell we might well get 2 with the next. For the focus of
that one will be 15 degrees off this one and 30 degrees off the
previous two spells.

Why a division of 3 and no other? A lot of these disaster seem to occur
on a track of 60 degree intervals on a great circle. A well known and
improperly explained factor in this is the phenomenon od shadow zones.


Shadow zones are regions on a globe where "P" waves seem to disappear,
which along with the epicentre of an earthquake, form an equilateral
triangle. Put a dividers on this sketch of the classical explanation to
see what I mean:
http://schools.matter.org.uk/Content...adow_zone.html

Imagine that triangle is some sort of lense. Suppose that it is moved
every week. There is very litle chance of a singularity building up.

But suppose it can stick around for 2 weeks or more; or, after the
second week, it is shifted by 60 degrees. Then what? After this next
week it will be displaced by about 15 degrees. Almost exactly 15
degrees.

Already the magnitudes of quakes have climbed a little over the
previous phases. Now we will se a lot of quakes in the range of 6 to
6.5 or more. And next week from the 29th we will have or have had a
couple or so Mag 7's or higher.

Of course it could also dissipate as intense volcanic eruptions or a
succession of super typhoon even severe tornadic activity. A lot
depends on how accurate conventional weather forecasting is.
