earthquake in japan
- Thread starter talloola
- Start date
My thoughts and prayers are with the Japanese people and all who have relatives in the affected areas. The images on CNN are simply overwhelming, especially the fires that are burning out of control and the shots of the tsunami coming ashore destroying everything in its path are unbelievable. CNN also reported that the wave went over six miles inland.
There is some talk about the death toll being above one million also that a dozen or so small cities (70,0000 pop)along the Japanese coast have been wiped out.

As New Zealand is struck by Earthquake Piers says:-
Expect more earthquakes world-wide for next two years
• More Earthquakes near solar activity minima
• Odd-Even cycle minima (like THIS one) probably worse
• More Earthquakes associated with Solar proton events
Christchurch, South Island New Zealand was struck by a damaging shallow level Earthquake on 21 Feb and is suffering severe aftershocks. See video & news - As it happened: 6.3 earthquake rocks Christchurch, New Zealand | News.com.au
This event follows the world wide increase in volcanism and earthquakes in the last year or two and confirms the general statistical fact that more - and more serious - earthquakes, and volcanic activity, tend to occur around solar cycle minima - see, eg, article by Gui Qing ZHANG
http://www.springerlink.com/content/buvw2tq081013210/fulltext.pdf?page=1
The article by Zhang also associates increased Earthquakes with general increases in solar proton events. Piers Corbyn, astrophysicist of WeatherAction.com comments:
"Major storms are also associated with solar proton events and significantly we had important solar proton events on 28 Jan just before our predicted world double whammy of the simultaneous mega blizzard USA and mega Tropical Cyclone Yasi hitting Queensland - http://bit.ly/gvbPi5
"There was also a surge of solar protons associated with the major X2 flare of 15 Feb which preceded another pair of simultaneous USA blizzards and East of Queensland Tropical Cyclone formation (TC Atu) 18/19 Feb both of which we predicted weeks ahead - News from WeatherAction
"We now think that it is not just general solar proton event levels which point towards more earthquakes but that individual solar proton events exacerbate immediate earthquake (and associated volcanism) risk either directly or due to consequent storm activity and related surface pressure changes such as caused by our solar triggered and predicted Tropical Cyclone Atu which is currently centred North of New Zealand and heading closer. See:-

There are also additional lunar effects on storm development and earthquakes & volcanism and for solar drivers it appears that the odd-even minima, particularly the later part ie the rising phase of even solar cycles - WHICH IS WHERE WE ARE NOW (early Solar Cycle 24) - are the most dangerous.
"We mentioned these facts when we successfully made a one-off prediction of re-exacerbation of the Iceland Earthquake in April 2010 - See WeatherActionNews2010 No16 and No17:-

http://www.weatheraction.com/displayarticle.asp?a=189&c=1 (Also earthquake data links)
"Prediction of individual Earthquakes is very hard but we are very confident of a continuing period of significantly enhanced earthquake and volcanic activity as well as extreme weather events for the coming one or two years, probably exceeding the levels of the most active extended periods in at least the last 100 years",said Piers

Don't worry they'll save us..
Yeah they are very organized and very tough still they have a very big job to do. The next two or three years could be very difficult all around the globe. The pictures of destruction are incredible it really puts a lot of things in perspective eh. We all think we got problems.The town that drowned: Fresh pictures from the port where 9,500 people are missing after it was swept away by the megaquake

I'm actually not arguing that fact Beave.
In all likelihood, you may very well be correct.
