Default Avalanche crushes house to pieces, two killed in Norway - very wet weather

A couple is missing after their house was crushed to pieces near the
town of Balestrand last night. Their house was situated near
a river in a valley which a large avalanche of snow and mud
followed after heavy rains. Some places had over 70 mm in
12 hours. Balestand is situated in Sogn og Fjordane county
(fylke) where 33 roads are or was closed. Over 40 roads are
closed in the counties of Hordaland, Sogn og Fjordane and
Møre og Romsdal.

Interesting run of SSPs. No doubt you will be getting another
earthquake when this anticyclone disperses or moves from over the UK.

Ditto western and or southern Japan.

(Yes I know they have been having a stream of 5M's or so.

So where have you been lately?
I mean, do you have any comment on the mag. 9.0 quake in Japan?
What caused it from you point of view?

I can't be bothered trying to educate a people who don't want to know.
If I could speak Japanese I might look for a site in that language to
post to.

The Chinese are the most promising but as the country is run by
gangsters who will bulldoze their grannies, there is a hell of a
problem getting any feed back from them on earthquakes, they use
string for concrete reinforcing bars and kill all the children they
are not allowed to have.

In Japana they built the schools with a completely different ethos and
all the children are now orphans.

Funny old world isn't it?
Maybe they aught to get together?

Funny thing, my first forecast a couple of decades ago, I wrote to
some one in Japan - forget who. Some time later I read they were doing
an earthquake drill for the time I gave. But then I found out they do
them anyway in September.

Just a coincidence and I think I was wrong in any case.

What caused it from you point of view?


The moon, dopey! Don't you read my posts too, neither?

Keep an eye on the North Atlantic chart. That High over the UK is
doing an odd dance.

BTW

Me too.

Only not. I will have to sort it out again.
That's what I have been working on. Originally I just wanted to
compare the North Atlantic SSP with the Der Sed / NEIC lists but it
just took over.

When I first started uncovering these anomalies I wondered if they
might be used to date stuff like historic storms like the one that
destroyed the boats of the Chinese empire off Japan several centuries
ago -around Tudor times I think.

But then I realised that the North Atlantic Cycle was too upsetting to
the lunar theory I had. But now I think that I have cracked the code
that flummoxed the best of them; Newton and Thomson even Doogeson,
though tides still elude me.

But who needs more than tidal constants anyway?

The thing is, now with Weatherlawyer's Theory of Everything; do I post
it and give away the secrets to Unified Field Theory or do I hang on
to it and try to get it published?

I don't need to be stinking rich, just faintly pongancious would do.

But who would take me seriously? You are the only one I have met that
gives a damn.

So I suppose I will end up posting it online and make eff all out of
it.
(And still be richer than Pharaoh.)

To stand on the shoulders of giants and float free between god and
men.
Or take the money and run?

Or both, if the case may be.

This spell runs to the 26th and the following one is almost identical:
Mar 19 @ 18:10 = Mar 26 @ 12:07
http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/phase/phase2001gmt.html

Thus the T+60 -even to T+84 stands a very good chance of holding,
bearing in mind it should be us suffering fogs and etc. not you. Or at
least as far as I know, not just you.
http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/..._pressure.html

It is anomalous in more ways than one though and when it breaks there
will be the devil to pay once more.
As everybody knows.

As Jesus said;
When you see something standing in a place it shouldn't be standing,
then flee for your life. (He was referring to politics -mind you, he
also gave a pretty good forecast about earthquakes for the same time
period.)

I wonder if there is another super storm building for the antipodes.
(I have cracked the code but I have yet to check it on a run.) There
looks like something is stirring on the left of the chart:
T+24 with a bullet but only a minor storm I think. A "TS", if that.

I'll have to get the Canadian charts to look at your neck of the
woods, Lapland just drops off the end of my world.

I keep losing the link and the Canadian government's home page is a
bugger to navigate to the SSPs with...

Ho hum....

Don't fall down any crevasses.

Ciao.

Why do you say that? Is there a consensus about that, and among whom?
I checked my planetary program (SkyMapPro) and it says that at the exact
time of

the 9.0 earthquake, the Moon was 396 310.1 km from the Earth. The average
distance

of the Moon is 384 405 km, so its gravitational effect was much less than
normal at

the time of the quake.

Thanks for a long answer, anyway.

Yes it do happen around here. One of my mountain friends
perished that way...

Ciao.

Sorry about that.

The moon can't possibly raise a tide from a quarter million miles away
just by gravity. There is obviously a step or two missing in that
algorithm.

The earth is 81 times heavier and an awful lot nearer the sea than the
moon is.
The Apollo rockets needed to be about five tenths of the way to the
moon before the moon took over the pull, IIRC.

Besides a lump of lead is far more attractive than a drop of water.
Look at Newton's equations again. If the moon was capable of pulling
the way it is supposed to, the earth would be a lot more oblate.

For some reason I don't understand, the time of the phase of the moon
sets up a standing wave that calls the Lows and the Highs into
existance and controls their motions. It is obviously something to do
with acoustics.

It can't be anything else. Believe me I have tried to make the pieces
fit, starting with contemporary misconceptions. In fact if god hadn't
to disabuse me of odern ideas I'd have landed on the truth a long time
ago.

When you remove the impossible, what you are left with are very few
and very obvious choices.

But what do I know?

I was going to post a couple of articles on my blog but the USB won't
open unless I close down and reboot and my time is almost up on this
computer so I will have time to rewrite them for next week.

I was going to hang on to what I had about the Japanese quake to see
about getting it published but now I think I'll just put that on my
blog too.

(I really must get that thing finished, there's so much I have put on
it though it will be about a gigabyte long.)

I'll post a link to this thread when I finish it.

Default Avalanche crushes house to pieces, two killed in Norway - very wet weather

I've been happy to leave you to your neurotic theories for quite
some time, but since there are newcomers to this group seeking
information about the Japan quake, I feel it my duty to point out
that 'Weatherlawyer' aka Michael McNeil aka McNut doesn't know his
physics.

He seems to think he can predict earthquakes around the globe based
on the weather in England. Not exactly shining example of the the
"bright ol' chap", ya think?

I expect to be 'plonked' by him agian....

The way you treat him. he has the right to be mad and
hit back at the lot that bully him...

It is incorrect to say that he predicts earthquakes from
the weather in England. As far as I know he says that
hurricanes (and fronts?) in the North Atlantic, toghether
with tropical hurricanes around the globe can produce
earthquakes.
Besides astronomical parameters like proximity of solar-
system bodies like theSun, Moon, Jupiter and other planets,
what strong and complex variable forces are there at
the Earth that can effect and set of earthquakes besides
exactly a deep low/hurricane. I can see none.

So actually a natural idea he has. Note also the Icelandic
low is placed more or less exactly over a mid-ocean
ridge - like no other. So you might ask the very interesting
question: Did the icelandic low make Iceland?

Like one have to rock a car to get it out of a
slippery dump in snow, do the Icelandic low pump
the magma out of the crust and mantle below Iceland
to create and expand Iceland? Actually I suspect
more and more so...
And when a deep low pop out the mantle plume together
the other layers that make up Iceland and the rest of the
North Atlantic near the low, the expanded mass must
push away at something. And that something is among
other objects (plates) the Eurasian plate - that go all the
way unimpeded to - the 'Pacific Ring of Fire', like
Sumatra, Japan etc.
Makes you think doesn't it...?

He's also completely mad and any cursory monitoring of his prediction
accuracy shows him up to be the complete charlatan that he is. Looking
at 8 of his forecasts in 3 months, he managed a 14% accuracy - and the
14% was a very generous one from me. It's not worth monitoring anymore
and anyway, W gets all upset and childish when I do.

Don't be fooled Bjorn. Skywise is absolutely right; this is one very
nutty fruitcake. if you see what I mean.

As as said I don't think the basic idea is foolish at all.
And taken into account the payoff, more than enormous you
wold have to agree, being able to get away with much less death
and damage when a quake strikes - it is worth going into
quite a lot of ideas - quirky and mad as the may look at the outset.
And I don't monitor his forecasting scores. I don't know where too
look. To find someones post by searching Google Usenet posting
is fairly fruitless nowadays, only a fraction show up for some reason.
