12th May 03:47 2008.
http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/phase/phase2001gmt.html Virtually unforecastable as far as I know. But fortunately we have a crib: 7th Feb 03:44; 14th Feb 03:34; 21st Feb 03:31. All very similar. I ran the commentary for the first of those spells in with that of the commentary for the previous one. Never mind, it is well worth reading as even as I speak, thundery and wintery weather is crushing North American crops at a very delicate time. Here is a link: http://groups.google.com/group/alt.t.../month/2008-02 So if that High over Greenland persists and that Low just below it moves up to Scandinavia like it is supposed to and like it seems to be doing.... Not a good year for silage if anyone in Britain knows any farmers. Even the hay is going to produce abortions -though there is a small window in the middle of June. Otherwise it is a wet summer and we will have to rely on other people getting super-cyclones and large magnitude earthquakes. Which they surely will. |

OKLAHOMA CITY (Reuters) - At least 19 people were killed in Missouri
and Oklahoma when tornadoes and violent storms ripped through the central and southeastern United States, devastating neighborhoods and injuring hundreds, officials said on Sunday. The National Weather Service reported six deaths in Oklahoma and 13 in Missouri but those tolls may rise. http://in.reuters.com/article/worldN...33522320080511 |

Mississippi's water
When the river runs high Bursts its banks and washes all the sins away As it washes to the ocean Every muddy thing In a very little time Before it will calm down When something goes wrong It's so hard to admit it No one will admit it Nobody wants to know It pushes an High to the Delta Over three thousand miles long And throws out to the Gulf, a force so strong Fixed so tight to the ground below That you can't even see And in so little time So little time to be When something goes wrong You shall have to admit it You will have to admit what You do not want the world to see But when you see that High Running down the Mississippi Though it's apt to confuse. Because it is such an unusual sight From the cold of Canada to the warmth of Mexico Watch out for that High Some people never see the world the way it runs It's not their style To be told Some people never see the world how it aught to be But like children they're longing to be told. When something goes wrong Who can admit it Say that they **** it Nobody wants to know When something goes right Well that's how it should be. All caused by accident That just accidentally got it right You just get used to how it is supposed to be so right Something so right (Cribbed from Paul Simon.) http://weather.unisys.com/images/sat_sfc_map_loop.html 2008/05/12 5.1 M. 12:50 Kodiak Island region, Alaska. http://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqcenter/...quakes_big.php |

The National Weather Service reported six deaths in Oklahoma and 13 in Missouri but those tolls may rise. http://in.reuters.com/article/worldN...33522320080511 SENECA, Mo. (AP) — More than a third of the 23 people killed by a tornado that smashed parts of Oklahoma and Missouri over the weekend died in cars, troubling experts who say vehicles are one of the worst places to be during a twister. About 100 people have died in U.S. twisters so far this year, the worst toll in a decade, according to the National Weather Service, and the danger has not passed yet. Tornado season typically peaks in the spring and early summer, then again in the late fall. This could also prove to be the busiest tornado season on record in the United States, though the final figure on the number of twisters is not yet in. All together, at least 26 people died in Missouri, Oklahoma, Georgia and Alabama after the severe storms erupted Saturday over the Southern Plains and swept east. According to data from the National Weather Service's Storm Prediction Center, 49 of the 705 deaths — or about 7 percent — attributed to tornadoes from 1997 to 2007 were people who were in vehicles when the storm struck. "They can cover more ground than you can in your car, so unless you know you are moving away from the tornado the best thing you can do is find a strong structure," said National Weather Service meteorologist Andy Foster. The twister that struck Seneca and surrounding Newton County was moving at 50 mph to 60 mph, Foster said. One car was found a half-mile from the tornado track. The U.S. death toll from tornadoes this year is the highest since 130 people were killed in 1998, according to the weather service. The highest number of tornado-related deaths came in 1953, when 519 people died. To date this year, 858 tornadoes have been reported in the U.S., although that number probably includes numerous duplicate sightings of the same twister. Harold Brooks of the National Severe Storms Laboratory said the highest number of tornadoes ever recorded through May 11 of any year was in 1999, when 676 tornadoes were counted. Brooks said he expects the number of confirmed tornadoes through mid-May of this year to end up in the 650-to-700 range. http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5j...QsANQD90KG06G0 |

From a different thread:
May 12 03:47 May 20 02:11 Feb 21 03:31 Feb 29 02:18 By extrapolation the phase from May 5th to 12th resembles that of February 14-21. Bit of a squeak I know but interesting no less: Feb 14 03:34 Feb 21 03:31 Feb 29 02:18 May 5 12:18 May 12 03:47 May 20 02:11 http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/phase/phase2001gmt.html http://groups.google.com/group/alt.t.../month/2008-02 http://www.climate-uk.com/monthly/0302.htm http://www.climate-uk.com/monthly/0303.htm So now to go and look all that stuff up. What is striking is the brunt of the bad stuff back in February was also centred on China. it's the only time news about the weather permeates the bamboo curtain. There is an high leaving the continent of North America by way of the southern US states. Florida to N & S Carolina. I allowed it might be another large quake in the Andreanof region -wherever that is (I can't find it on a map.) But for all I know it could be an eruption in Hawaii. There is a storm out in the NE Pacific at the moment. I can't make up my mind. Perhaps that means I don't know? See for yourselves: http://weather.unisys.com/images/sat_sfc_map_loop.html |

See for yourselves: http://weather.unisys.com/images/sat_sfc_map_loop.html There were three lunar phase in February that were at more or less the same time. They somehow induced weather spells in China the produced intense cold. I didn't have any weather data sites for the region. And going by comment on this site given elsewhe http://www.australianweathernews.com/charts/ASEA00.GIF I still don't. So, is there anything in the record for Britain? You'd have a problem sorting it out from he http://www.climate-uk.com There is nothing cohesive that immediately stands out. There again, I suppose water doesn't just drop from the sky. And other people's weather from totally different climes has an effect on us. As do seismic events and the like. It's a thankless and difficult task to get it all sorted. And I think it impossible to accomplish anything without divine help. So why if I am getting help from above is he so meagre with the people who really need it at the moment? It's enough to turn you off religion. And yet we know from the way that things work, there has to be a creator. Is he angry with us over something? Some forgotten slight that we didn't even mean? Our world wars and nuclear wars and all that? Maybe it's the way we are treating the planet? It couldn't possibly be due to the measure of respect we pay him. |

No snow in the forecasts but it is cooler now and there is a prospect
of rain. I posted elsewhere about the chance of a quake in the Aleutians due when an high on the US east coast leaves. Looks like leaving. But one site shows a loop of many days and the high joins onto the Azores/Bahamas High and elongates so that it hangs around for ages. It might easily see this spell out. I have learned that strange North Atlantic Low that prefigured the Chinese quake, not to be so cock-sure about the precise behaviourof weather patterns. hells bells I aught to have known better where I suspected a large magnitude quake was involved. I deserved the castigation the trolls gave me. The first rule of weather lore is: Earthquakes upset weather patterns. That's The Golden Rule. And because I forgot it, it is likely that no lessons will be learned from either catastrophe that struck as the weather pattern first changed then ended. If I were to be done to as I have done by, the golden rule of human nature would have me cast out of my home and left starving. But I was doing my best to the degree that I saw it. But I suppose even George Bush could say that. God don't damn me for a fool please. (You can have George any time you want him.) |
