That major quake in Szechuan China some weeks ago occurred with quite
a spate of tornadoes in the USA. This led me to suspect that there is a relationship with them. Some years ago I noticed a relationship with my (mild) arthritis and earthquakes, then storms in Madagasgar then tornadoes in the USA. I get crick of discomfort from a cycling injury a long time ago. For some reason I thought I could "get" when there was a spate of tornadoes as they were a given with attacks of cramp. So here I am now looking at the relationship between Californian quakes, USA's Mid Western tornadoes and Chinese earthquakes. There are no reports of tornadoes in the USA at the moment. In fact there is a marked paucity of the weather related to them: http://www.spc.noaa.gov/climo/reports/080801_rpts.html What there is is this: 5.8 08/01 32.0 104.7 SICHUAN-GANSU BORDER REGION, CHINA |

And that is why I am not interested in Laws and Proofs that only serve to break the minds of youngsters that should be out in god's good earth earning a living and having money in their pockets. All I am trying to do is point out obvious flaws in the concepts, beliefs and theories the unwary follow as though there is some religious providence in them, instead of being prepared for the worst when it looks like the planet is Going Postal. As it happens I started doing this because there was a religious controversy brewing in the New Russia when one of the satellite states in it had suffered a devastating earthquake. I was thinking people would be writing that off as an act of god (whilst the BBC was carefully only reporting which religious denomination got provenance for a thousand years of sheep shearing.) The woefully inadequate help the Azerbaijani's received went on not happening for years. But worst of all was the quake happened in a wintery spell when the homeless survivors could have used the shelter that neither so called Christian church was offering. Take a look at this chart and tell me if there is a relationship with the Highs and Lows reaching into the North Atlantic from the Carolinas and the number of low intensity earthquakes occurring on the other side of North America: http://www.weatheroffice.gc.ca/ensem...me=00&Type=pnm I can't remember which it is supposed to be Highs or Lows and it will mean me search my computer for the graphics I saved, before I can find out. Blow that. I can wait for the next installment. I think you can find archives of these charts and of course the NEIC list is intimately searchable. (Nothing like the state of the art in Exitdoor.) All I am offering is a short-hand way of looking at things that are just as meaningful as watching a weather forecast is in foretelling the situation in your region. YMWV! It is beyond statistical analysis. It's easier to Zen it and just give QEDs pudding ate that way. However, long term data analysis will throw up interesting bell curves. Here is another one: https://www.fnmoc.navy.mil/efs/efs.html The North Atlantic chart from there is giving a different picture of events altogether from the one on he http://www.cuckney.pwp.blueyonder.co...r/Dorridge.htm When the charts vary remarkably, when meteorologists are wrong or unsure of their forecasts, then be sure that a severe earthquake is pending. You usually get a few days to prepare. There is almost always time to purchase a can for water (keep it half full for fear compression will burst it) a mobile phone (keep it topped up as the lines will blank initially) a whistle (keep it on a lanyard around your neck) and a pick and shovel (for digging your neighbours out of an hole or for digging an hole for disposing of your waste.) And there is usually time for people like me to make predictions about them. This spell has changed from that mind-wipingly muggy one we just had. Whether it is supposed to be a damp fresh "not all that unpleasant" spell, I can't say. If it isn't, the quake will arrive mid-spell, as it rights itself. If things are plodding on nicely, the quake will arrive at the end of the synergy. That is when all the parts of the syndrome synergise. Afterwards, you will see the Low in the North Atlantic has faded away or moved half a continent. Whether I am deluding myself or am being blessed by a most remarkable "being" remains to be seen. I am not dying to find out if I don't have to. (Hope dei, die I ex all.) Well that's enough of me being cleva. Time to get out in the garden. Byee. |

What if it turns out to be both? Me saying the worng one just means I am lackadaisical. Would I be thus if I were in a position of authority? Who cares? I don't believe I am in any responsible post, touched by god or not. I don't want anyone to die, that's the main thing. As it happens I don't think anyone reads my stuff with the diligence it deserves. But then I believe half the people in a sophisticated continent voted for a monkey, so what do I know? But what was I expecting? A pension and a medal? Me? Who from? A science body? A politician? What could either of those offer me? I happen to have everything I could possibly want from them. They leave me the hell alone! |

You usually get a few days to prepare. Byee.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Back again? So; now you can use the North Atlantic weather charts to predict a "major" earthquake, W. In W-speak, 2 points. Firstly, the weather charts are not "varying remarkably", they are pretty well set that we will have low pressure dominance in 8-10 days time. You don't follow those charts closely enough and you know little about them, so it's not surprising you don't know that. That's got nothing to do with the actual outcome, it's just what they've shown for about 36 hours - consistency. (However, please don't use your lack of knowledge as an escape route, at the end of next week, if a "major" earthquake hasn't happened. Your statement clearly states that they ARE "varying remarkably", at present.) Secondly; the North Atlantic occupies only about 10% of the Earth's surface area; much less if you don't include the tropical areas. Why should that partiicular area be so important? Thirdly; no location, no area, no intensity in this forecast of a "major" earthquake, as usual. I'll be generous and give you a full week, even though you say that people "have a few days" to prepare, but I'll expect an earthquake of 7.5+ to qualify for "major". The earthquake can occur anywhere in the world. Fourthly; if this link is strong, why couldn't you predict Sichuan? And why habve you missed every other large earthquake and volcanic eruption of this year? I'll judge it at outcome and pass comment on how scientific your statement was then. Good luck. |

I was wondering whether the dying back of my aunt Flos purple sprouting
broccolli and the recent tidal wave in Abu Dhabi were connected, the explanation of other events from the weatherlawyer makes you think donnit ....... RonB "Weatherlawyer" wrote in message ...

So; now you can use the North Atlantic weather charts to predict a "major" earthquake. 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: http://groups.msn.com/Weatherlore/sh...hoto&PhotoID=3 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. |

The trees on the hill behind where I live were waving back and forth a lot. That seems to have caused a bit of a wind around here, and that's what led to the stuff you're talking about. -- Timberwoof me at timberwoof dot com http://www.timberwoof.com "When you post sewage, don't blame others for emptying chamber pots in your direction." ‹Chris L. |
