As December approaches everyday the press says the same thing "NEVER BEFORE"

WE are currently getting things the world as we know it has never seen so anymore what the Big Mother does is no longer surprising.

If know one has picked up on this yet... Sadly this is just the beginning.


Hold On Tight
Mr Wags

aint the press awesome!!!

Big Mother has had a very good sense of humor over the last couple thousand years ........... and we have forgotten that at the end of the day we DON'T control her

i hate to mention our Mom and stupid bitches in the same sentence, but i hope that Ayn Rand was not a ghost writer for Mother Nature ........ way too much fuckin irony there:tiphat:

Yea, I hope this is exaggerated, I am on an island on the East. Shit, at least Fire Island will block us, hopefully that will do the trick

ya I have a feeling those numbers were greatly exaggerated by easily alarmed folks. that is why I said divide it by ten. Even then it would be extremely damaging to certain areas.

I know there was mention of fears of problems with plate shift as a result of the damage in the gulf - ie oil spill some how...

Might have been some time ago - but...seems like I remember such talks. These shifts even minor would cause MAJOR tsunami type events...

Kinda not surprised to hear this....

we will be watching safely from the west coast. unless a big earthquake drops us into the sea.or takes out a neuclear reactor

From the comments section of an article about this.

Here are some comments from Vulcanologist Boris Behncke. (he is currently is residence at Etna in Italy studying that particular on going event).

quite interesting evolution at El Hierro, though I would beg everybody to refrain from evoking worst-case scenarios like the collapse of a large part of the volcano flank and a mega-tsunami: this is extremely unlikely to happen, firstly because there is already a huge collapse amphitheater present on the island and there is no major unstable volcanic edifice there. It would be about a million times more likely to see a small basaltic fissure eruption with the growth of cinder cones and emission of volumetrically modest lava flows. The 1971 Teneguia eruption on La Palma island would serve as an excellent example of the type of eruption that could be expected to happen, likewise the 1909 Chinyero eruption on Tenerife. Nice to see, locally potentially destructive if human property is in the way, but far from a world shaker.

^ If it were a bigger danger scientist all over the world would be freaking out.

Here is another event where a big piece of land has collapsed.

March 10, 1987 Middle Brother rockfall
Saturday, March 10, marks the 25th anniversary of the 1987 Middle Brother rockfall, the largest rockfall in Yosemite's documented history.

On the afternoon of March 10, 1987, Ranger Jim Tucker received a call from Road Crew Foreman Ralph Parker, who reported that a road crew patching potholes on Northside Drive below the southeast face of Middle Brother had witnessed several small rockfalls and had heard loud cracking noises coming from the cliff face. Upon arrival, Tucker and Ranger Kim Aufhauser witnessed another small rockfall. Tucker, sensing a growing hazard, instructed Parker and his crew to leave the area, and ordered westbound traffic stopped at Camp 4.

Ranger Phil Hibbs located Trail Crew Foreman Jim Snyder and the two set up a spotting scope in Leidig Meadow to observe the release point.

As the cars piled up behind Camp 4, Tucker received a radio call from Chief Ranger Roger Rudolph, who suggested that Tucker strongly consider reopening Northside Drive. As Tucker and Aufhauser returned to Camp 4 to discuss the situation with Rudolph, they turned back many visitors, including a pair of skeptical hikers who were ordered to leave the area. As they proceeded toward Camp 4, Tucker and Aufhauser heard a tremendous thundering sound.

At 2:47 pm, a huge slab of rock broke loose from the top of Middle Brother. Snyder later described the cliff “unfolding like the stairs of an escalator”. The giant slab disaggregated into a rock avalanche as it hit a prominent ledge and cascaded to the talus slope below. As boulders smashed into the talus slope and sent dust and debris outward, Hibbs yelled, “Run!” Snyder, wanting to run but also wanting to watch the event unfold, tried to do both until he and Hibbs were enveloped in dust and small rock fragments. Stumbling blindly, they made their way to back to Tucker, who was preparing to send out a search party.

When the huge dust cloud finally cleared, approximately 180 feet of Northside Drive was covered in rock debris up to 12 feet deep. Several boulders had landed on the far side of the Merced River. There were no injuries, and, aside from a patrol car dented by flyrock, no property damage. Another large rock fall occurred later that day at 5:10 pm, and smaller rockfalls went on for weeks. The total estimated volume of the rockfalls was 600,000 cubic meters, or 1.4 million tons.

Northside Drive was closed for months, and traffic was rerouted to Southside Drive; in anticipation of future rockfalls, reversible detour signs are now posted at key intersections to quickly establish two-way traffic. The 1987 Middle Brother slide provided impetus for Valley Rangers and Search and Rescue to plan and train for large rockfall events, and also initiated a scientific process for documenting and monitoring rockfalls. A triggering mechanism for this rockfall was never identified. (Thanks to former NPS employees Jim Snyder and Jim Tucker for sharing their recollections of this event.)

There is a fault line on the east that makes the one in Cali look like a small crack lol New Medrid I think is what they call it. Our troubles are far beyond fault lines and the like,these are simply the calm before the real storms.

I like I have said for years now hope I'm wrong BUT don't ya know so far it's pretty damn close.

They say the natural seepage of oil in the ocean on a daily basis far exceeds any of our spills so far. Many of course don't see land but the effect and the hence re-effect of The Mother shows what is happening..... Nature and it's fight to keep balance. It's done it for Billions of years and it only took us 2012 years to screw it all up. :)


The really bad one that has been shown to cause MAJOR fear for all involved in it's study is: The Bay Area of San Francisco. If you look at it's lay out if a tsunami type event took place in that area it has been shown to hit, recede bounce off the other side of the bay and then come back again like swirling water in a bucket for it's geographic designs is similar. If you have a situation where one had already hit receded and was going back and was then carried by ANOTHER wave well at 8 pounds a gallon you get the idea. The Bay area sorry to say simply has NO Where for the water to go.

It has taken us about 50,000 years to screw it up and on more than one occasion mother nature has wiped out 90 percent of life on earth, including humans. Earth is a ball of rock floating in space it does not care if there is life on it or not. We must care. The food chain is fragile.

And I am not talking about recycling, which is 100 percent bullshit. (except for aluminum cans). I am talking about things like the gulf oil spill, and aerosols, and fracing chemicals.

Bet we are fine for now guys.
Doesn't look like anything will happen this week or the next that will screw our east coast, pretty sure.
and as someone mentioned it, these were "extreme" scenario scientist.

I'd say theres a much more serious immediate threat- the legal battle against fracking. Its waging full force as we speak, at a major breaking point for success or failure in NE region.
ATM you NE folks should be worrying day by day about the fracking and pushing as hard as you can to stop that bull shit.
There is enough momentum right now to beat it back, ex. vermont, towns in NY as I understand.
I've heard every lame pseudo science excuse from industry reps saying its perfectly safe, much of it convincing enough for the sheeple.
If enough of you smart guys don't speak up consistently their grip and influence will tighten, more ignorant sschmucks as a majority will back them, again comforted by the industry rep pseudo science. Convince the sheeple and go beyond them to the state/local reps and let them know you aren't messin around. Utilize every avenue.
Tsunamis to oil fracking. go IC go. :woohoo:
