This week's spell is set on the 15th at 19:46.
The following are dates for times of phases which are related -in that
they fall within quarter of an our of the same time, or of that time
plus or minus intervals of 6 hours.

And of course merely being related in that way does not necessarily
mean they will produce the same or even vaguely similar spells. A lot
depends on the harmonic set up by previous phases.

OOF!

I am already a day behind with this and it's another day before I
realised it.

Contrary to expectations, the weather here is fine. Flood warnings
elsewhere in the UK notwithstanding.

7:46 pm should be an unstable spell. I am not able to say any more
about it. Rain at seven and sun by eleven isn't a saw that cuts
accurately this month it would seem.

I believe that there should be some major tropical storms with it.
Things do look like they might wind up over Indonesia:

But it's early days yet. (Well it would be if I hadn't lost a couple
of them.)

This picture is starting to look familiar.

It is interesting to look at a projection of the shadow zone on a
mercator map:
http://neic.usgs.gov/neis/bulletin/neic_mfa2_t.html

And of course, in this instance, there is also the relationship of
storms with storms.

I wonder what such a projection would look like if it were to
simultaneously host a line or set of lines connecting Low pressure
areas and also High pressure areas.

One can but dream.

Here is a northern hemisphere chart of Lows and Highs:

I shall have to get my printer out, cleaned and connected.

It's a spiral from the coast of California to Iceland.

What you do is put a dot over every Low centre. Then transfer that to
a sheet of paper. Quite straightforward, really.

Just get the site to open in Opera where you can adjust the screen
size easily (click the goggles icon next to the search bar.)

Now back to business:

Looks like we are in for a sequence ofd Mag 6 quakes:

Hey dude, where's my seismicity?

In decades to come people will be mulling this break in things as
another one of life's gems.

Meanwhile, t'is a ****oir.

McNeil's Maxim:

When the largest magnitude that breaks a spell is of less than 7 M,
there will tend to be a supercyclone and the quakes following on from
it will tend to be in the region of 5 to 5.5 mag.

And now the storm is abating. Heading for New Zealand, so perhaps a
large one for Macquarie Island or somewhere down there?

We had a nice day or so here while it lasted. So, by and large, I
can't complain. So back to the wet weather I suppose?

Mustn't grumble.

Back to normal here with the floods and what not.

Looks like this is where |i came in with this site, too:

We aught to see a strong line of cloud flowing through the US from
southern California to the NE corner.

But that's for later this afternoon and after, with the new spell.

And finally as the rivers flood and frosts take over from rain, I
thought I had best mention the Channel coast that is awash with timber
following a ship wreck near Worthing.

Several beaches have been closed. This is both to prevent looting
(though what anyone is going to do with sea soaked timber beats me)
and to prevent any hardly surfers and the like getting hurt in the
flotsam.

I know that several ventures have made money salvaging sunken timber.
Mostly that consists of teak or softwood in freshwater. The sand all
over this stuff will ruin any saws used on it. And if it has been in
the sea too long it will be no use for building or anything else.

These look like scantlings, 2 x 3s and 4 x 1s etc. The sort of stuff
that was only fit for shuttering and fence panels, which it may still
get used for. More likely it will end up in incinerators.

An interesting kick in the diabolicals:

It's been a red letter day in seimographland as well as Wall and
Threadneedle Streets. And all because the arseholes in charge of the
economy wanted to flood the market with junk mortgages.

I hate to think of the burden the federal reserves have to take on
board to float not only the USA but Europe, China and Japan...

Whilst waging a pointless war in two countries that can't lose.

Who is this obscuring wisdom?
He who is overturning the inhabited world and shaking out its good
things.

Here's to interesting times.
