Earthquake/Tsunami/Nuclear Disaster

[flintstone mop]

Am I thinking crazy or does this Earthquake thing usually happen in early Spring or fall??
As the Earth is tilting on its axis for the seasonal changes, the stress on these fragile plates increases.
Mother Earth is getting rickety in her old age.

[W3SLK]

What's funny is I spent a year station at Mare Island Naval Station near Vallejo, CA. We never experienced an earthquake but they had one back here in PA!

Sadly this will not be normal activity. This will be the end of 13,000 years of pollution of many types. The Planet Earth will survive but we dangerous Humans come last in survival.

[Steve - K4HX]

Earth quakes happen every day in many places. This is not unusual or different. Do not buy into the silly hype on TV.

Right you are Steve.
 In fact, this few 100 year period of relatively stable affairs is an anomoly for the earth. Geologic and climatic historys show the earth much more unstable, as a rule.

Sorry John, pollution has nothing to do with it. To think it does shows the arrogance of man, nothing more!  Earth don't even know we're here!

No they don't. It's a conspiracy. The government is causing them through HAARP. When they're not causing hurricanes in the south, they create earthquakes. I read it on the internet just before the Chemtrails and after the NSA Sex Slaves and JFK Was My CIA Controller articles. So it must be true.

Am I thinking crazy

You know what they say, Fred - if you have to ask..... 

[K1DEU]

Gee Dudley and I thought women were arrogant, not men.

BTW what TV channel is all the good silly stuff on ?

Did anyone notice Hugh Hefner lasted only 6 minutes on the dance show ? Geritol time.

(Minor quibble)

IIRC, the Earth's Axis is always "tilted": we have seasons because the Earth revolves around the Sun, and the tilt of our axis with respect to the Sun causes the poles to alternate between being close to the Sun (June) and farther away (December).

I don't think the Earth's Axis changes it's inclination with respect to the ecliptic plane: although there is some minor "wobble", if the Earth's Axis changed inclination that much, I doubt we'd all be here in the first place.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Summer_solstice

FWIW. YMMV.

Id be more inclined to consider the effect of the planets core shifting. According to NASA the N magnetic pole will be in Siberia by 2025 at the current rate of acceleration.

Hey, isn't Elvis in on the action? And all this has to somehow be related to those bogus Apollo moon missions. IARN is slacking on its mission.

[KL7OF]

The moon was as close as it will get to the Earth the other night....It has the power to move tons of ocean water with its gravitational pull..........Couldn't it move tectonic plates as well......

[W3RSW]

Certainly, and it does, rather minutely and constantly affecting the very fluid medium of water, with quite a bit of hysterisis.

You might try living on Io as a better example.

-but the gravitational differential of the moon is but a very minor fraction of Jupiters.
What do you imagine moonbeings are saying about the nasty ol' Earth?

"uh oh, another Earthquake..."

So your saying,
"uh oh, another Moonquake?"

A seismic researcher told CNN Sunday that he warned the owner of the earthquake-damaged Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant two years ago that the facility could be vulnerable to a tsunami.

The owner, Tokyo Electric Power Company, appeared to ignore the warning, said seismologist Yukinobu Okamura.

TEPCO has not responded to Okamura's allegation

Okamura heads Japan's Active Fault & Earthquake Center. He said he told members of a TEPCO safety committee two years ago that data collected from layers of earth show that in the year 869 a massive tsunami devastated where the plant now is. The six-unit Fukushima Daiichi plant is located about 240 kilometers (150 miles) north of Tokyo.

Without adequate safety measures, a repeat of the first millennium disaster at the site of a nuclear power plant could be far worse, Okamura said he told the committee then. He said he raised the issue because no one else did.

"I found that odd so I really wanted to speak out and let people know about it," Okamura said. "No one reacted in any way."

Expert: Japan nuclear plant owner warned of tsunami threat

[W4AAB]

Saw on the news just now where earlier today they had a 6.5 earthquake off the northeast coast of Japan. Resulting tsunami was less than 2 feet high.

[K1DEU]

Where our magnetic poles were is very interesting. Slightly more than 13,000 years ago one of our poles was centered on Greenwich, England.

Time Traveling forward one of our Poles will be located near Ceylon, India. This is the old North pole headed over the Arctic currently.

Our South Pole is currently headed  up South America to a location near San Palo, Brazil.  Its interesting That our NASA cannot function in the Southern Hemisphere. Our National Geographic Society however can and does.

What is NASA's function in the southern hemisphere? How does NGS "function" any differently from ARRL or IARU?

[K2PG]

About 25 years ago, there was a mild earthquake (about a 2 on the Richter scale) that rattled some chinaware in New Jersey and frightened some people, but was otherwise harmless. The epicenter was in Old Bridge Township (Middlesex County) at Cheesequake State Park. So that one was called the Cheesequake Earthquake.

[K1DEU]

Don The National Geographic Magazine sometimes has naked pictures of people in the southern hemisphere. NASA has no naked pictures of Aliens from Earth or other Star Systems. Is that IARU dave or glenn's group ?

Phil do you have to discuss cheesecake when I don't have any. I walked right by 3 different sizes at the local Price Rite Supermarket several days ago.

At least they are not as paranoid as NPT.  I watched a show a few months ago that featured some scenes showing a tribal celebration in a central African village. It included a video of dozens of people of all ages, men, women and children, in some kind of a ritual dance; someone had gone to great pains to blur out all the women's boobs. 

[Steve - K4HX]

Maybe they didn't want dirty old men getting their jollys.

NASA may have 1000s of photos of aliens. We're just too dumb to understand what we're seeing. We've been brainwashed to look for green men with big eyes.

The Astronauts know exactly what's going on don't be concerned. NASA Administration is not allowed to share the details with the general public. Thousands world wide accurately predicted the Pacific Tsunami and are predicting the next one and where for any who participate.  73  John, K1DEU


And Don I also happened to see a lot of Religious ? editing on Public TV.  Might it be due to reduced tea funding. At least Public TV still tells the public about the body bag count at the end of the week.

Was sitting here yesterday late afternoon finishing up some work on the NEAR-Fest schedule and taking care of some other work online when the house shook with a thud like it had been hit by a truck or a tree had fallen on it. Wandered outside for a walk around the place, nothing. No damage of any kind other than one of the vent grills had popped out of the garage foundation wall. No vehicles embedded in walls, nothing of any kind. Weird.

So I tell the good wife about it when she gets here later saying that it felt like a sonic boom with no boom. We do have a lot of military jet activity here, so it made perfect sense to me. She thinks it might've been an earthquake, but there was no rumble or movement associated with it like I've experienced in quakes before.

She was right, though it was an aftershock I felt and not the actual quake itself. That took place at 3:30AM Monday morning. As Steve pointed out earlier in the thread, they can and do happen daily, all over the place. Even in his state.

Just party, the world is supposed to end next year

Just party, the world is supposed to end next year

According to a nut case heard regularly on the "Family Radio" shortwave bible beater in Florida, it's supposed to happen on 21st May of this year.  We have just a little less than two months to go before the sky falls!

Two things could end the world at any moment in my opinion:

1...Mandatory digital-only amateur phone.

2...Pushing the 'launch' button in the prez' "football".
