11-01-06 - DREAM - I was living in a house  I didn't recognize with my family. the kids seemed to change ages by 10 years in the dream. they were originally like 3 to 6 years old in the beginning and teenagers by the end.

The hallway was so wide, the carpeting was a full size or larger blanket and was hard to walk on because it was loose.

I got a phone call in my bedroom from a researcher in Seattle and he wanted me to tell him my dream about Seattle. I told him, that was a couple months ago, I'll have to look for it. So I got my big blue binder and started paging backwards from November back through August.

(This current binder is red and starts in May of 06, so it had to have been in 05. That binder is blue)

While I was looking for the dream, I went back to the phone and only heard a dial tone, but figured I'd have the guy's phone number on my telephone I.D. so I could call him back when I found the specific dream about Seattle he was referring to.

It seemed a good idea to have all the phone numbers for researchers in the northwest so we could contact each other if something seemed imminent.

My kids were rearranging the furniture in the bedroom and making more room for a white bookcase.

Just then a young woman came in and started making fun of me for reading love letters and I explained to her that this was my dream journal and it contained good information about things that were going to happen in the future.

Just in case: Here is the August dream from 06:

8-7-06 - THE TSUNAMI

I was managing a large apartment building somewhere on the shore of an ocean.

From observing out the window, it seemed to be the spring of the year. My neighbor stopped in to say Hi and express her joy at finding
a new boyfriend. She only stayed a minute and then rushed down the hall to her apartment.

Right after she left, I spotted some colored Calla Lilies in a bouquet wrapped in florist paper. The odd thing about them was that they
had stems at least 10 feet long. They were just laying on the lawn. so I rushed outside and moved them into the shade of the building
on the side so they wouldn't dry out, hoping they could be rooted and planted. Then I went back into my apartment.

As I was looking out the window, I saw someone on top of the roof of the house across the street launch a long large canoe off the
roof the house into the water next to their house.

Just then a large semi-truck rushed to the left between me and the water also.

Just that quick, the canoe and all the water from the beach started rolling out towards the sea. 

The water, rushing out to sea all at once meant only one thing to me... tsunami.

There was nothing else going on and I felt stupid doing it, but I owed it to the people I was caring for and rushing out into my apartment
hallway, yelling as loud as I could - "Tsunami, Tsunami, Get upstairs."

We had a four story building and we were on the second floor. My friend lived all the way down at the other end of the building and I
owed it to her to tell her what I just saw, so I ran further down the hall, yelling all the way, so loud my voice started to go hoarse -
"Tsunami, Tsunami".

I didn't know how much time we had to get upstairs, so as doors popped open, when people heard me yelling, I could look into their
doors and see what they were doing.

Women, wearing cotton house dresses were cleaning and their children were playing on the floor with their toys. Some had their
hair in curlers, so they would look nice later in the day when they would do a quick comb out before their husbands came home
from work.

I had alerted everyone on my floor, that all I could do, so I headed for the elevator. While I was waiting nervously for the elevator,
the young man across the hall, hearing the commotion in the hallway, opened the door to see what was going on. Several other
young men were sitting on the couch and in overstuffed chairs and I could see cigarette and cigar smoke hanging in the air.

From hindsight, I remember that these guys were dressed like it was the 1920's. One guy had knickers on.

I breathlessly said, "There's a tsunami coming - get upstairs!"

The guy in the knickers just laughed derisively. "That's just an old wives tale. Nothing is going to happen. The others laughed
at his words."

I said, "I can't make you do anything you don't want to do." and hit the elevator button a couple more times for good measure,
knowing that wouldn't make the elevator go any faster.

A crowd of people had gathered behind me, also waiting for the elevator. Finally the elevator door opened.

The elevator was so jammed with people, there was no possible way to get one person on it.

Again, from hindsight, these people were all wearing heavy winter coats, all dark grey tweed, some had hats on. I swear, from
the looks of their grey faces, and the fear I saw in their eyes, they already looked dead.

I said to them, "I'll catch the elevator on the way down," and as the elevator door closed, I hit the down button and the 'up'
button for good measure.

Then I changed my mind and said to the others behind me, "I'm not waiting for the elevator, I'm taking the stairs!"

I rushed around the corner to the stairs and found it already jam-packed with people coming up from the first floor. they were
all panic stricken. There wasn't room to squeeze a single solitary more person on the stairway either. As it was it was moving
so slowly, people were yelling up the stairway to move faster.

I heard a woman say, "Someone has a baby on the stairs and it won't go any faster."  Other people were carrying their kids.
I didn't see even one person go up even one step. It seemed like as high as they were, thats as high as they were going to get.
I figured that the upper floor must already be full of people and there just was no more room to stuff another person into this
building. Considering how the people were dressed, these people had come in off the street to get to a higher floor before the
 tsunami came rushing in.

There was no point to standing there in the hallway, so  went back to my apartment to look out the window and some other
women from my floor came with me.

We looked out the window at the scene outside. The ocean shore was several blocks out from it had been and looked brown
and glassy on top.

There was a huge tree out on our front lawn and it looked fresh with small green leaves all over it.

the sky was now grey and a sudden downpour of rain came. It was so sudden, it scared us, but it only lasted a moment and
stopped again.

Then we could see a greenish white fog coming in from the sea. It was very ominous looking.

The greenish fog enveloped the tree, and then started to dissipate again.

We started seeing things dripping from the tree. Several people commented, "Did you see that?" as we saw long white things
like worms or large seed pods fall out of the tree from behind the leaves which were developing rapidly.

Then we could see long flowers developing, hanging downward from their weight. They developed so fast, we were watching them
bloom in slow motion.

One woman said, 'I've seen beautiful flowers on that tree before, but not 5 different colors."

She was right, instead of just one color flower, the flowers hanging down from the tree were 5 different colors.

All we could do now was wait for the water to come rushing in from the sea and hope it didn't kill us.

 

12-1-06

On the first day of December, after our family checked into a hotel room with whatever belongings we could salvage,
I took a shower and collapsed on the bed.

In the twinkling of an eye, I found myself in the Spirit overlooking the beautiful hills of California. My eyes were fixed upon
 kingly homes built upon the lush green hills overlooking the Pacific. They were the finest of homes, built of the finest of wood,
carefully crafted and of royal design. I saw a long line of people, refugees, leaving the homes in great haste as a tsunami
approached. When the tidal wave hit the hills, a great splash arose into the air a thousand feet high, and many of the refugees
perished under the raging torrents of water. In one hour, every home was destroyed. The tsunami was followed by another
tsunami, and then another, as the borders of the coast began to recede. Many hills disappeared under the water like piles of
sand, as the sound of the waves echoed like thunder through the foothills. To the north, smoke arose from erupting volcanoes,
while flashes of lightning could be seen in the billowing clouds of ash that arose high into the heavens over the West Coast of
America.

12-7-06 -

Anyone living on the coasts around the Pacific plate should be pre-prepared and ready for a HUGE quake.  This means over 8.0 to 10.0

It could happen anywhere - but is being predicted for the period 12-8-06 - to 12-28-06.
 
We are just past the full moon - and the moon causes a lot of earth movement.
 
No matter where this quake happens - it will affect everyone because of the strength of this quake IF it happens.
 
It is being predicted by George Ure from halfpasthuman.com website.
 
The northern Japan area has had constant quakes this past month - including today -
 
George Ure is saying this will probably happen more likely in the northern areas than in the south - but I wouldn't hold my breath - just be
prepared.
 
George is speaking about what a 9.5 is like.  Alaska had a 6.4 some years ago, and the devastation was horrible.  Seattle had a 6.2 -
 that was bad enough.  Anything larger than that will wipe out everything where it hits.
 
This would also cause a tsunami and the tsunami would be at least 60 feet high - it would wipe out everything where it hits -  get OFF the
beaches - sheesh!  I don't even want to think about it.
 
Remember how nasty the 12-26-04 quake and tsunami was.
 
Here is a reminder:  TSUNAMI IN OUR FUTURE

Here is the original posting from  halfpasthuman.com

Note to the reading public:

Our work is based on assigning emotional values in the form of numbers from a scale of our own devising to quantities of conversations lifted from public fora on the internet. We then look for "oddities, outliers, and anomalies" of expression which may or may not occur within the conversations being processed. Through an arcane, complex, and complicated processing through software which we devised, the changes in language around common subjects are extracted and loaded into our modelspace {ed note: Intellicad, CAD program}. Through further jiggery/pokery we tie these extracted bits of language together and then produce forecasts of the emotional outcomes of probable future events. From these emotional outcome summations we attempt to trace back the flow to a cause or source or trigger for the emotional summations received. Sometimes this gets remarkably close to actual manifesting circumstances. But of course, mostly it is wrong.

In reading the text below, please note that the phrases in single quotes are those which arise, in those words, from our processing.

Public Announcement:

Sure hate to do this. The ramifications are not good for anyone. AT THE BEST, we are incorrect, and nothing will occur. NOTE THAT- the best possible outcome is that we are wrong yet again, and will, in 30/thirty days time, slink off to mull over the foolishness of humans, and the self-deceptive capability of the human mind.

However, the worst possible case is that we are correct in our forecast as what we have is a rising amount of 'emotional tension summations' around the idea of a very large pan-Pacific plate earthquake which will involve extensive volcanic activity. Yep. That's the problem. The most recent processing of the 2/two report streams that we have open at the moment are stating pretty clearly that the recent earthquake activity in the Pacific basin is *not* over. Rather the interpretation of our data suggests the reverse, and that the Hawaii earthquake, the recent 'rising of land' near the island nation of Tonga, and the Kuril Island 8.3 earthquakes are merely the 'set up' for the next event in which an earthquake in the Pacific plate induces {ed note: from the human perspective} both volcanic activity, and propagated earthquakes on both sides of the Pacific plate.

No, we do not get dates, exact or vague. Our work does NOT involve prophecy. We do not get messages from god or anything approximating that. So we do not get dates for events. We base our emotive quantifiers on a time scale of lunar months, and as the majority of the current indicators for a pan-Pacific plate earthquake are coming from the immediacy value set which has an emotional range of '3/three days out to 3/three weeks' {more or less}, we are of the opinion that the potential for the earthquake event is most likely within the next lunar month or slightly less than 30 days, thus prior to December 17th, 2006.

Our interpretation of the data set is going to a 'newly emerging mountain' as a result of or cause of {ed note: who is to say which is the cause or effect} a large, perhaps 9.5/nine-point-five earthquake in some 'great ocean depth'. The modelspace interpretation suggests that this first event will set off a series of very widely dispersed 'after shocks' which will affect both the east and western edges of the Pacific plate. We note that most of our geographic references are for places north of the equator and thus the idea that this will be a northern Pacific focused planetary change. There are some indicators for volcanoes south to about 9/nine degrees latitude to become active coincident with the 'plate quiver'.

The lexical clues which we have suggest that 'isolation', and loss of both 'power' and 'food' will result. Further there are 'aftermath' indicators for people having to both 'leave/flee low lying areas' as well as 'camping out {on} slippery/slick rocks'. This latter phrase comes from a lexical grouping describing people 'fleeing rising waters' to more height, even at the expense of what is described as 'necessary foods/sustenance'. Further there are threads within this area supporting the idea of 'food drops' to these unfortunates who are having to live on 'weather exposed rocks' amidst 'sloshing waters' long after the earth has 'subsided to relaxation of strain'. There are other indicators that some coastal areas, especially very low lying, now inhabited places which will be 'left to the waters' as a result of this series of 'plate quivers'.

We have more data interpretations, but the astute reader will grasp the general idea from the above extracts. Please note that our reports in total are expensive and we are NOT trying to elicit new subscriptions. Please note that any additional data will NOT tell you anything with surety about your personal safety.....let me repeat that for those who have yet to have their coffee hit their commute dulled brain cells. DO NOT THINK TO BUY OUR REPORTS on the idea that the whole of the report will provide you with any more specific details either timing, or geographic. Save your money or if so inclined, use the funds to get prepared for potential future events. What we have is condensed above. If anything appears within the processing which warrants more discussion it will likely be posted at Geo Ure's site, www.urbansurvival.com/week.htm or posted here at Halfpasthuman in a publically available form. Again, this is not a solicitation, rather is offered as a 'for what it is worth'. Further discussions of the data set and any additional information which may arrive prior to the end of December will be posted on Geo. Ure's site should they be meaningful.

What we have suggests that if you are on the west coast of the north American continent, or on the east coast of Asia, or on any Pacific plate based island, that it is likely that you will be impacted to some degree by the suggested events rising from our rather dubious processing and software. What we have suggests that you pay attention now if you are in the affected areas and see to the care and well being of your personal situation so that you may be of assistance to those who will be directly impacted by these earthquakes and subsequent volcano activity.

Take heart from the fact that we are frequently wrong. After all, no human has any clue about what is really going on in the present, let alone the future, and we are all just guessing our way through life, universe, and everything.

Yes, we have hopes of being very foolishly wrong. However we note with real sadness that our approach to this work actually did catch the pan-global emotional wave which resulted from the Sept. 11 attacks on the USofA, and we caught it in June of 2001. It is this past history which prompts this posting.

Still, here is hoping we are wrong.

SOLAR TSUNAMI: When sunspot 930 exploded on Dec. 6th, producing an X6-category flare, it also created a tsunami-like shock wave that
rolled across the face of the sun, wiping out filaments and other structures in its path. A telescope in New Mexico operated by the National Solar
Observatory recorded a must-see movie of the wave, featured today on http://spaceweather.com .

SOLAR TSUNAMI: When sunspot 930 exploded on Dec. 6th, producing an X6-category flare, it also created a tsunami-like shock wave that rolled
across the face of the sun, wiping out filaments and other structures in its path. An H-alpha telescope in New Mexico operated by the National Solar
Observatory (NSO) recorded the action:

"These large scale blast waves occur infrequently, however, are very powerful," says Dr. K. S. Balasubramaniam of the National Solar Observatory.
"They quickly propagate in a matter of minutes covering the whole sun and apparently sweeping away filamentary material." Researchers are unsure
whether the filaments were blown off or were compressed so they were temporarily invisible

I had to go to Aberdeen for a Walmart coon food run so I went to visit Terry in Westport, and we toured the beach from Tokeland to
Westport noting all the new erosion and trying to guess what is going to happen next. There virtually is no protection at all form some very
fancy homes and masses of condominiums at the Westport light beach approach. On top of it all they are building new homes in what used
to be a swamp, in front of what used to be called Canterberry West years ago and known as
the Chateaus Westport now.

People, one good normal old fashioned coastal storm from the west will now cause extensive damage, totaling millions because of greedy
over development, in Westport WA. The sea levels are slowly rising and that beach in front of Westport no longer has the sand spits in front
of it to break winter weather. Now someone in the insurance industry is going to get ripped off big time, required Federal insurance or not.

The people building and buying here are hardly the poor or down trodden, but moneyed in one form or another and betting out beating the
odds. They are not that dumb, either... or most of them are not. You might say Washington State is going to have a minor local version of
Katrina before too very long, even possibly this month if we get a big storm during the high tides.

The original beach approaches as we knew them from North Cove to Westport are drastically changed with a full mile of missing beach at
the very least since the 1960's, and the beach sand stays softer even when wet, with warnings now posted for treacherous sand in all categories
since some of the sodden stuff will drop a car right to its frame somewhat instantly. Towards Westport the clam spits are now gone from the
State Park towards the Jetty. There really is not much of a beach, merely an eroding bank along the last protective dune front.

Terry and I walked a good quarter of a mile on the beach, south from those condominiums, and back examining where the breech will occur.
I watched the surf as we were an hour before high water, and there was no spit protection at all for this close to breech area which is developed
well now like a ditching funneling in toward the row of homes on the condo south side.

Two years ago the "New Lagoon" at North Cove was mentioned in the local papers. That lagoon is now open sea, and what was a lagoon has
 moved northward to what we call the Mid Beach approach. This one is an impressive lagoon, formed in what used to be considered beach flat
land after the dunes...

At the rate of erosion acceleration, this scenario will repeat itself in two years to be in front of the town of Grayland WA. The sea is proving
quite relentless now... and the wind was cold and bitter blowing in my face from lands unseen. Bitter winds there make bitter property owners
sooner or later...

Love Allen

There is no reliable method of accurately predicting where, when, and at what magnitude an earthquake is to occur. But there are some indicators that may tell you that one is coming in the next hour or month:
  • Foreshocks. Similiar to aftershocks, foreshocks are small earth movements but they can occur before an earthquake. However, foreshocks do not always precede and earthquake and are often hard to distinguish from a regular earthquake.
  • Strange animal activity. This activity is also not guaranteed since many animals act strangely even when there is no earthquake. However, if you see snakes, worms, and other earth-digging creatures coming out of the ground all at once, there will be an earthquake within the next hour.
  • Changes in land elevation and groundwater levels in the months preceding and earthquke. Increased stress between two plates can cause the land to swell upwards. Groundwater levels may drop or rise accordingly.
  • Get the Quake Alarm. An earthquake detector created for personal use. The quake alarm detects P waves, the first waves generated by an earthquake that travel the fastest. Supposedly, this alarm should give you enough warning that you can find a safe area before the more damaging S and L waves arrive.
  • Observation of earthquake clouds. This is a new theory currently under examination. The clouds often appear within a month of the earthquake directly above the epicenter. Clouds are usually sword-shaped or cross-like in appearance. After seeing one, all you need is a camera to record it in the sky (if you are there), or a satellite image to determine where the epicenter will be in relation to the cloud. For more information, check out this site: http://members.nbci.com/eqprediction/index.html
Earthquakes in certain areas can also be predicted due to their regular occurances. If a region experiences 6.0 shocks on regular intervals, it is easy to predict the probabilty of when another one will happen.

UC Davis: Formula May Predict Earthquakes

Some Experts Are Skeptical

(CBS) DAVIS, Calif. Since 1910, there has been a magnitude six earthquake in northern California about every five years, on average. The most recent was in Parkfield in 2004.But UC Davis Physics Professor John Rundle believes the period between large quakes has shrunk. "The chances for having a large earthquake for magnitude six and above in any three to four year period is very high,” said Rundle.

Rundle is predicting a large quake in northern California in less than two years. He bases his prediction on a math formula he and other researchers developed in 2002 to forecast the likely locations of major earthquakes. At the time, they identified several hotspots.

Rundle's team then plotted the significant earthquakes, shown by blue circles that hit after the original map was completed. They claim almost all were on the hotspots. But other scientists say the hotspots are where quakes occur in California anyway, and the forecast is too vague to be useful.

"The whole area of northern California coastal ranges is likely to have an earthquake in our lifetime. Next two years, it's a small probability. 30 years, we get up to the 20 to 30 percent per fault. So, no, it wouldn't surprise me at all,” said David Oppenheimer of the USGS.

Oppenheimer is a member of the state's Earthquake Prediction Evaluation Council. The council evaluated Rundle's quake forecast method two years ago. The conclusion? Rundle's results were nothing special. "There was no basis for any public policy activity because they didn't think the authors had demonstrated at that time significant results,” said Oppenheimer.

"We're not actually in the business of trying to warn people at the moment. What we're trying to do is do the basic research and basic science that leads up to operational forecasts and I think we're making progress in that direction,” said Rundle.

Despite many promising leads the USGS says there is still no verifiable way of predicting earthquakes.

Dee, I just read your dreams at greatdreams.com and to recap -- your two tsunami dreams were in August, 2006 and 11/1/06. I just got out
the newspaper I saved after we had a tsunami in November to look up the date -- it was November 15, 2006. So hopefully at least the first tsunami is past.

Our newspaper reporter researched tsunamis and there have been a lot of them -- not just the one in 1964 that was 15 feet high and killed 11 people that went out of their houses to start cleaning up after the first wave.

The worst one was in 1700 and washed over the Sierra Nevada mountains and created the Great Salt Lake in Utah probably. But there were two in the 1940s, three in the 1950s, six in the 1960s, two in the 1970s, one in the 1980s, and two in the 1990s (both after quakes at Mendocino.)

The tsunami on November 15, 2006 was about 5 feet high and destroyed 1000 feet of docks and 35 boat slips. It was caused by a magnitude 8.1 to 8.3 earthquake off the shore of the Kuril Islands near Alaska.

The tsunami siren was not sounded this time. One investigation showed that the reason for that was that the warning was called to the wrong county headquarters. But in my personal observation -- there was a tsunami warning siren after an offshore earthquake last year in 2005 (your blue notebook in the August dream) and people panicked and drove crazy and got into a few accidents. They didn't know where to go and some went a lot further up the mountains -- not just to the fairgrounds or middle school to slightly higher ground.

And the mountains have people hemmed in so that you can't really get to higher ground very easily except on narrow two-lane roads with hairpin turns around and around the mountain.

So now they printed the instructions -- to walk to higher ground and don't cause traffic jams that keep emergency vehicles from getting through. But when have you ever seen an American walk when they could take their car?

This is a small town of 5,000 people and the panic here almost caused a lot of car accidents. People were driving past our house honking their horns furiously, squealing their brakes, and shouting at each other. We stayed put because we live on higher ground already -- though not high enough for a 60 foot wave. That was summer and good weather. It rained for 37 days -- including the entire month of November and the day of the tsunami on November 15th so the evacuation, if it had occurred, would have been even worse than in summer on slick rain-wet roads and people would have been in winter coats like your dream of August 2006.


Steve and I went out when it stopped raining for a bit and people were in shock even a couple of days after the tsunami. Even public officials like some of the bus drivers were in shock and wandering around with vacant looks on their faces.

I dreamed about a tsunami washing Steve and me all the way back to the mountains before we moved here on September 9, 1976. We floated on the wave. But the water was warm and turquoise in color and the sand white like in Florida or Indonesia for that matter.

NOTE:  It was said on the radio that the people who got the tsunami warning actually drove to the beach to watch it come in.

IDIOTS!!!
 

Powerful quake strikes off Taiwan

       

Story Published: Dec 26, 2006 at 7:03 AM PST

By Associated Press

TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) - A powerful earthquake struck off southwestern Taiwan on Tuesday, briefly prompting fears of a tsunami on the second anniversary of the quake and deadly waves that killed thousands in south Asia.

Taiwanese media reported one person died and three were injured when their home collapsed in the southern city of Pintung. Other reports said city streets had cracked and a major bridge was damaged. They said fires were burning out in the area, apparently caused by downed power cables.

The quake was felt throughout Taiwan. The U.S. Geological Survey estimated its magnitude at 7.1, while Taiwan's Central Weather Bureau measured it at 6.7. It was followed eight minutes later by 7.0 magnitude aftershock, the USGS said.

Two hours later, an official at Japan's Meteorological Agency said there was no longer any danger of a destructive tsunami headed for the Philippines, as had been predicted.

"The danger has passed," said Hiroshi Koide of the agency's earthquake section. "We predicted tsunami based on the depth and magnitude of the earthquake. But ultimately, it appears no large tsunami were triggered."

Phone lines were cut in the southern cities of Kaohsiung and Pingtung, possibly hindering reports of damage by residents, the CTI Cable News reported. Several high-rise hotels swayed violently in Kaohsiung, it said.

Liao Ching-ling, a 30-year-old manager at Kaohsiung's Ambassador Hotel, said she had never before felt such a strong quake: "The building swayed so badly that many panicky guests ran out of their rooms and into the streets."

The initial tremor was centered at sea about 13 miles southwest of Hengchun on the southern tip of Taiwan, the bureau said. Hengchun is about 260 miles south of Taipei.

Quakes frequently shake Taiwan, which is part of the Pacific's "Ring of Fire," an arc of volcanos and fault lines encircling the Pacific Basin. Most are minor and cause little or no damage, but a 7.6-magnitude earthquake in central Taiwan in September 1999 killed more than 2,300 people.

A 9.1-magnitude earthquake off the coast of Indonesia on Dec. 26, 2004 caused a tsunami that killed at least 230,000 people in 11 countries. Those waves reached as high as 33 feet.

TAIPEI - A powerful earthquake struck off southwestern Taiwan on Tuesday, triggering a tsunami warning on the second anniversary of the waves that killed more than 200,000 in southern Asia.

Two hours later, seismologists lifted the warning, saying the threat of destructive waves had passed.

Taiwanese media reported one person was killed and three injured in the southern city of Pingtung when their four-story home collapsed. Three other members of the family were trapped in the rubble and firefighters were working to free them, the reports said.

One member of the family - an 89-year old man - escaped from the building unharmed. Initial reports said all the people in the collapsed building had been freed, but these turned out to be unfounded.

Elsewhere in Pingtung, 20 other people were injured, media reports said.

They added that many streets in the city were cracked and a major bridge was damaged. Several fires broke out in the area, apparently caused by downed electric power cables.

The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake, which hit at 8:26 p.m. (1226 GMT), registered magnitude 7.1, while Taiwan's Central Weather Bureau measured it at 6.7. It was followed eight minutes later by an aftershock registering 7.0, the USGS said.

Japan's Meteorological Bureau said a one-meter (3.3-foot) tsunami might be headed toward the eastern coast of the Philippines, but later lifted the warning."The expected waves did not materialize ... the danger has passed," said Hiroshi Koide of the agency's earthquake section. "We predicted a tsunami based on the depth and magnitude of the earthquake. But ultimately, it appears no large tsunami was triggered."

According to China Seismological Bureau, two earthquakes -- the first measuring 7.2 on the Richter scale and the second measuring 6.7 -- hit the South China Sea on Tuesday. The epicenter was located at 21.9 degrees north latitude and 120.6 degrees east longitude, about 350 kilometers from the Chinese mainland and 15 kilometers from Taiwan.

Philippine police said coastal areas had been alerted.

The warning underscored the higher level of caution about tsunami waves in the region since a massive earthquake off Indonesia exactly two years earlier triggered a powerful tsunami in the Indian Ocean that killed 230,000 people in a dozen countries.

Tuesday's quake was felt throughout Taiwan. It swayed buildings and knocked objects off the shelves in the city of Taipei, in the northern part of the island. Phone lines were cut in the southern cities of Kaohsiung and Pingtung, possibly hindering reports of damage by residents, the CTI Cable News reported. Several high-rise hotels swayed violently in Kaohsiung, it said.Liao Ching-ling, a manager at Kaohsiung's Ambassador Hotel, said the quake was the strongest she had ever felt.

"The building swayed so badly that many guests panicked and ran out of their rooms and into the streets," she said.

The tremor was centered at sea about 23 kilometers (13 miles) southwest of Hengchun on the southern tip of Taiwan, the bureau said. Hengchun is about 450 kilometers (260 miles) south of Taipei.Quakes frequently shake Taiwan, which is part of the Pacific's "Ring of Fire," an arc of volcanos and fault lines encircling the Pacific Basin. Most are minor and cause little or no damage. However, a 7.6-magnitude earthquake in central Taiwan in September 1999 killed more than 2,300 people.

Thousands of people in residents along Japan's eastern coast fled to higher ground after an 8.2 magnitude earthquake triggered tsunami warnings Saturday in parts of the Pacific region, including Hawaii and Alaska.
The warnings rattled coastal residents more than two years after giant waves spawned by an Indian Ocean earthquake killed at least 230,000.
But the largest wave reported by late Saturday was a 16-inch tidal surge along the shores of Chichi-jima, a Pacific island 620 miles south of Tokyo, more than three hours after the quake.
Earlier, a tidal swell of about 4 inches was recorded in Japan's northeastern coastal town of Nemuro, and a higher tide also was observed in other coastal towns, including Kushiro, Abashiri and Otaru, Japan's Meteorological Agency said.
The quake struck around 1:24 p.m. local time about 310 miles east of Etorofu, the largest of a disputed four-island chain known as the Northern Territories in Japan and the Kuril islands in Russia.
The Japanese agency initially estimated the magnitude as 8.3 but later reduced that to 8.2, the same strength recorded by the U. S. Geological Survey. The quake struck 19 miles below the seabed, the agency said.
There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage from the quake, but the agency warned that higher than usual waves could hit the northeastern coast of Japan's main island of Hokkaido.
Hokkaido officials responded by issuing evacuation orders to 85,000 people in 22 coastal towns.
Disaster prevention official Haruyuki Komachi said thousands of people heeded the orders and gathered at community centers. Police closed off roads to the coast and train operators suspended some services as a precaution.
The warnings were later downgraded to advisories, then canceled them altogether on the northwestern coast of Hokkaido, leading some municipalities to lift evacuation orders. Advisories in other parts of Hokkaido and towns facing the Pacific coast were still in effect late Saturday.
"The tidal change so far seems rather small, but a bigger one may come hours later," Komachi said. "So we have to stay vigilant into the night in case a second or a third ones come in bigger waves."
A tsunami warning also was issued for Alaska's western Aleutian islands, and a tsunami watch was issued for Hawaii. Both were later canceled, but not before dozens of people sought refuge in underground shelters on two Aleutian islands.
The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology advised residents along that nation's eastern seaboard to observe changes in the sea level. About 4,000 people in the northern province of Isabela were evacuated.
Tsunami warnings are issued due to the imminent threat of a tsunami. Tsunami watches are issued as an advance alert to areas that could be impacted by a tsunami.
Temblors of magnitude 7 are generally classified as major earthquakes, capable of widespread, heavy damage.
The Japanese meteorological agency also issued warnings last November following a magnitude 7.9 quake in a similar area, but most areas saw waves of only about 7.8 inches.
Seismologists, however, warned that this time the quake was stronger and cautioned residents to remain vigilant.
Tokyo University seismologist Yoshinobu Tsuji warned that high waves may still hit the region, hours after a tsunami warning. "I urge everyone to stay alert," he said.
December 26, 2004, a magnitude-9.0 earthquake off Indonesia's Sumatra island unleashed giant waves that fanned out across the Indian Ocean at jetliner speeds, leaving at least 230,000 dead and millions of homeless in its wake.

 

Tsunami warning for Hawaii and Alaska
The Courier Mail, Brisbane
From correspondents in Honolulu
January 13, 2007 04:18pm
Article from: Agence France-Presse

THE Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre issued a tsunami watch for Hawaii and Alaska's western Aleutian islands after a 8.3-magnitude
earthquake in the northern Pacific.

The centre said today the waves could reach Hawaii's shores just after midnight local time (9pm AEDT). It was expected to hit
Alaska's Dutch Harbor about an hour earlier (8pm AEDT).

The West Coast and Alaska Tsunami Warning Centre said it was not immediately known if a tsunami was generated.

Japan's Meteorological Agency issued tsunami warnings following the quake. The agency said waves as high as 1 metre could hit the
northeastern coast of Japan's northern island of Hokkaido.

Officials in towns along Japan's Pacific coast issued evacuation orders to flee to higher ground.

The United States issued a tsunami warning for Russia, Japan and Markus Island in the Pacific Ocean following the quake.

The quake struck about 500km east of the Etorofu islands between northern Japan and Russia, the agency said.

There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage from the quake.

Tsunami waves - generated by earthquakes - are often barely noticeable in the ocean but can rise to great heights once they  arrive at shore.

The Tsunami Warning and Watch are canceled for British Columbia and Alaska.

A tsunami has been observed at the following sites:
Hanasaki Japan 0.1m/0.3ft
Kushiro Japan 0.1 m/0.3ft
Ofunato Japan 0.06m/0.2 ft
Kamaishi Japan 0.07m/0.2ft
Miyako Japan 0.08m/ 0.26ft
Shemya Alaska .32m/1.0 ft

Wave observations are the amplitude above sea level.
No destructive tsunami threat exists for Alaska, British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, and California. However, some areas may experience observable effects which could include strong currents in harbors and bays dangerous to those in or near the water. These effects are expected to begin at approximately 0440AM PST in the Pacific Northwest ranging to 0600AM PST in southern California and could continue for several hours after initial arrival. As local conditions can cause a wide variation in tsunami wave activity, the all clear determinations must be made by local authorities. At 8:24 PM Pacific Standard Time on January 12, an earthquake with preliminary magnitude 8.2 occurred east of the Kuril Islands, Russia.

The
Pacific Tsunami Warning Center in Ewa Beach, Hawaii will issue a final tsunami message for Hawaii and other areas of the Pacific outside California, Oregon, Washington, British Columbia and Alaska. This will be the last West Coast/Alaska Tsunami Warning Center message issued for this event.

To repeat, NO tsunami watch or warning is in effect for the U.S. West coast states, Alaska, and British Columbia. See the
WCATWC web site for basic tsunami information, safety rules, and a tsunami travel time map and table. (NOTE: Travel time maps and tables indicate predicted times only, not that a wave was generated.)
 

Japan Quake Leaves 1 Dead, 170 Injured

 
By SHIZUO KANBAYASHI
AP
KANAZAWA, Japan (March 25) - A powerful earthquake struck central Japan on Sunday, killing at least one person and injuring 170 others as it toppled buildings, triggered landslides and generated a small tsunami along the coast. The quake was followed throughout the day by aftershocks.

The magnitude-6.9 quake struck at 9:42 a.m. off the north coast of Ishikawa, Japan's Meteorological Agency said. The agency issued a tsunami warning urging people near the sea to move to higher land.

A small tsunami measuring 6 inches hit the shore 36 minutes later, the agency said.

The morning quake toppled buildings, triggered landslides, cut power, interfered with phone service, broke water mains and snarled public transportation. At least one person was killed and 170 others were hurt along the country's Sea of Japan coast, according to the Fire and Disaster Management Agency.

Television footage of the quake showed buildings shaking violently for about 30 seconds. Other shots showed collapsed buildings and shops with shattered windows, streets cluttered with roof tiles and roads with cracked pavement.

"We felt violent shaking. My colleagues say the insides of their houses are a mess, with everything smashed on the floor," Wataru Matsumoto, deputy mayor of the town of Anamizu, near the epicenter, told NHK.

Chief Cabinet Secretary Yasuhisa Shiozaki confirmed the death of a 52-year-old woman. NHK said she was crushed by a falling stone lantern.

"We are doing our best to rescue the victims," he said. "We are also doing our best to assess the extent of the damage."

The quake knocked down at least 39 homes in Ishikawa and damaged another 143, the FDMA said. Most of the injuries and damage were concentrated in the city of Wajima, it added, about 193 miles northwest of Tokyo.

Takeshi Hachimine, seismology and tsunami section chief at the Meteorological Agency, said the affected area was not considered earthquake-prone. The last major quake to cause casualties there was in 1933, when three people died.

"After the powerful earthquake, aftershocks will continue," Hachimine said.

Japan sits atop four tectonic plates and is one of the world's most earthquake-prone countries. The last major quake to hit the capital, Tokyo, killed some 142,000 people in 1923, and experts say the capital has a 90 percent chance of suffering a major quake in the next 50 years.

In October 2004, a magnitude-6.8 earthquake hit northern Japan, killing 40 people and damaging more than 6,000 homes. It was the deadliest to hit Japan since 1995, when a magnitude-7.2 quake killed 6,433 people in the western city of Kobe.

Powerful quakes in 1703, 1782, 1812 and 1855 also caused vast damage in the capital.

According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the epicenter of Sunday's quake was 225 miles northwest of Tokyo. The USGS measured its magnitude at 6.7.

Associated Press writers Hans Greimel, Carl Freire and Mari Yamaguchi contributed to this story.

 

Strong earthquake strikes Japan

A strong earthquake rocked Japan on Sunday, killing at least one person and injuring 150 others. The quake caused serious damage to many buildings and triggered a small tsunami along the coast, officials and media reports said.

The magnitude-6.9 quake struck at 9:42 a.m. (0042 GMT) off the north coast of Ishikawa prefecture (state), Japan's Meteorological Agency said. The agency issued a tsunami warning urging people near the sea to move to higher land.

A small tsunami measuring 10 centimeters (6 inches) hit the shore 36 minutes later, the agency said. The warning was lifted after about an hour.

The quake toppled buildings, triggered landslides, cut power, interfered with phone service, broke water mains and snarled public transportation. At least one person was killed and 150 others were hurt along the country's Sea of Japan coast, media reports said.

Fear of aftershocks and more landslides caused by the loosening of soil waterlogged by overnight rains continued to plague the quake zone.

Television footage of the quake showed buildings shaking violently for about 30 seconds. Other shots showed collapsed buildings and shops with shattered windows, streets cluttered with roof tiles and roads with cracked pavement.

In Ishikawa, at least 24 people were injured, six severely, according to prefectural official Kosaku Ueno. In neighboring Toyama, at least two people were injured, fire official Nobuyuki Shima said.

Many of the injured people suffered burns or were hurt by falling objects and broken glass, media reports said.

Chief Cabinet Secretary Yasuhisa Shiozaki confirmed the death of a 52-year-old woman. Public broadcaster NHK said she was crushed by a falling stone lantern.

"We are doing our best to rescue the victims," he said. "We are also doing our best to assess the extent of the damage."

Kyodo News agency reported about 30 soldiers had arrived to help with disaster relief, and military aircraft were examining the damage.

Takeshi Hachimine, seismology and tsunami section chief at the Meteorological Agency, said the affected area was not considered earthquake-prone. The last major quake to cause casualties there was in 1933, when three people died.

He warned of likely aftershocks.

"After the powerful earthquake, aftershocks will continue," Hachimine said. "All residents, especially those who are near the hardest-hit areas, are advised to use extra caution. Aftershocks could further damage what's already fragile."

Train service in Ishikawa and nearby Toyama prefecture was suspended and All Nippon Airways flights between Ishikawa and Tokyo were delayed, Kyodo said.

Nuclear power plants owned by Tokyo Electric Power Co. and Kansai Electric Power Co. were operating normally in Niigata and Fukui prefectures, Kyodo said.

Hokuriku Electric Power Co. said at least 340 households in the area were without electrical power.

Japan sits atop four tectonic plates and is one of the world's most earthquake-prone countries. The last major quake to hit the capital, Tokyo, killed some 142,000 people in 1923, and experts say the capital has a 90 percent chance of suffering a major quake in the next 50 years, the AP said.

Powerful quakes in 1703, 1782, 1812 and 1855 also caused vast damage in the capital.

Japan's Meteorological Agency assigned Sunday's quake a preliminary magnitude of 7.1, but later revised that to 6.9.

According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the epicenter of Sunday's quake was 360 kilometers (225 miles) northwest of Tokyo. The USGS measured its magnitude at 6.7.

We felt violent shaking. My colleagues say the insides of their houses are a mess, with everything smashed on the floor," Wataru Matsumoto, deputy mayor of the town of Anamizu near the epicenter, told NHK

 

Tsunami Warning Issued After 2 Earthquakes Shake Vanuatu

Sunday, March 25, 2007

WELLINGTON, New Zealand —  Two strong earthquakes struck the South Pacific island nation of Vanuatu on Sunday and a tsunami warning was issued for some of its southern islands, police said.

There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage in the capital, Port Vila.

Australia's Emergency Management Office warned the powerful quakes could generate a tsunami, said police spokesman Capt. Arnold Giro.

FOXNews.com's Natural Disaster Center

"We are moving (coastal) communities to higher ground" on the southern islands, he said. "We have advised the islands to be alert for a possible tsunami."

He said they were still checking on injuries and damage.

A magnitude 7.2 quake hit at 11:40 a.m. local time was located 210 miles southeast of Port Vila and 75 miles south of the small volcanic island of Tanna, police said. It occurred 4.7 miles beneath the earth's surface.

The temblor was followed 28 minutes later by a magnitude 6.0 quake 220 miles southeast of Port Vila and some 85 miles south of Tanna, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

Police spokesman Capt. Arnold Giro said emergency services were still checking the effects of the quakes in remote islands close to where they were centered.

"We experienced a little bit of movement (in Port Vila) but not as destructive as might be expected," he told The Associated Press.

Solomon Islands hit by tsunami

    April 02 2007 at 12:49AM

Honiara - A tsunami swept ashore causing damage to towns and villages in the Solomon Islands on Monday, after a powerful earthquake and there were unconfirmed reports up to nine people were missing, police said.

The tsunami followed a powerful 7.6 magnitude (this was upgraded to 8.1)  earthquake in the western New Georgia Islands region, which had prompted the Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre to issue a tsunami warning for countries in the region.

A spokesperson for the Solomon Islands Office of Emergency management said there were unconfirmed reports five people were missing after two villages were inundated by the tsunami in the far west of the archipelago.

7.6 earthquake triggers tsunami in Solomons

3 reported dead; temblor under South Pacific; wider warnings rescinded

Updated: 10 minutes ago

HONIARA, Solomon Islands - A powerful magnitude-7.6 earthquake struck off the Solomon Islands on Monday, sending a tsunami wave crashing into the country’s west coast and prompting region-wide disaster warnings, officials said.

Sgt. Godfrey Abiah said police in the capital, Honiara, reported a wave several yards high had crashed ashore in the western town of Gizo shortly before communication lines with the region were cut.

Julian McLeod of the Solomon Islands National Disaster Management Office said there were unconfirmed reports that two villages in the country’s far west were flooded.

“Two villages were reported to have been completely inundated,” McLeod told Australian Broadcasting Corp. radio. “We have received reports of four people missing.”

Later Monday, Japan’s NHK television said that at least three people were reported to have died in the Solomons after the earthquake.

The U.S. Geological Survey said the earthquake struck at 7:39 a.m. about 6 miles beneath the sea floor, 217 miles northwest of Honiara.

The Hawaii-based Pacific Tsunami Warning Center issued a warning for the Solomon Islands and neighboring Papua New Guinea. It ordered a lower-level “tsunami watch” for other places, including most South Pacific countries. The center said Hawaii’s status could be elevated to warning or watch.

A tsunami was also possible at Willis Island and Cooktown in far northeastern Australia, the Australian Bureau of Meteorology’s National Meteorological and Oceanographic Centre said.

Abiah said police in Gizo had been warning residents to move to higher ground away from the coast when the tsunami hit. Communications were lost soon afterward.

In its report, NHK quoted a local official, who, speaking by telephone in Gizo, said the quake caused tidal waves and many houses were destroyed on the coast of Gizo. Three people were found dead in different locations there, he said.

“We have lost radio contact with the two police stations down there and we’re not getting any clear picture from down there,” he told The Associated Press by telephone.

A spokesman for Prime Minister Manasseh Sogavare, Deli Oso, said the quake was felt in Honiara but there were no reports of any damage.

The Associated Press and Reuters contributed to this report.

Tsunami warning sparks panic
The Courier Mail, Brisbane - breaking news
April 02, 2007 12:00am
Article from: AAP

THE threat of a tsunami hitting Queensland eased today but widespread panic was triggered, with many coastal residents evacuating their homes and fleeing to higher ground.

It also sparked a massive emergency response statewide which involved the cancellation of surgery at hospitals, the closing and evacuation of beaches and the cancellation of flights. Emergency services across Queensland had braced themselves for a possible tsunami after a strong earthquake off the Solomon Islands early today.

However, the Bureau of Meteorology said in an update that "no destructive tsunami is expected, (but) there may be a small rise in sea levels".

The quake, measuring 8.1, struck at 0640 AEST about 350km west-north-west of the capital Honiara at a depth of 10km, the Pacific Tsunami
Warning Centre in Hawaii said.

The Australian Bureau of Meteorology's National Meteorological and Oceanographic Centre in Melbourne warned a possible tsunami could
affect Willis Island in the Coral Sea at 0830 AEST and Cooktown in far north Queensland around 0930 AEST.

But the bureau said the Willis Island weather station reported no noticeable effect of waves at 9am by which time the tsunami should
have passed.

"They are checking to see if there has been any affect to beaches,"  it said.

"Visual inspection in the Cooktown area has shown no sign of a destructive tsunami.

"This indicates that the possibility of a destructive has eased considerably."

The warning sparked an emergency disaster response across the state, with Cairns Base Hospital cancelling elective surgery and outpatient clinics.

Childcare centres in the Cairns CBD were evacuated while Townsville City Council activated its local disaster management group.

Some shops around Cooktown, which was the first Queensland coasta area expected to be hit, closed for the day while panicked locals fled in their cars to higher ground.

"There has been a degree of self-evacuation this morning and people have shown some vigilance and are on alert," said Emergency Management Queensland (EMQ) spokesman Andrew Berkman.

"We've had it happening from Cairns, Cooktown (and) Bribie Island (north of Brisbane) even.

"The threat was statewide and so we've had people packing up and moving away from the beaches there.

"But when the threat came through, it was a serious threat so we really wanted people to be on alert, so they should be congratulated for doing that.

"There are obviously logistical issues with moving people away from coastal areas, but I think it was done successfully and the warnings reached their mark."

David Young, manager of Cooktown's West Coast Hotel, said there was a "lot of movement" around the town.

"People are fuelling up cars ... they want to make sure they can get out just in case," he said.

Penny Johnson from Bart's Bush Adventures in Cooktown cancelled all her four-wheel-drive tours and closed her booking centre in the town's centre.

She said Skytrans airlines had cancelled flights between Cairns and Cooktown until further notice.

"In Cairns apparently there's a lot of traffic heading up the Kuranda range up to higher ground," she said.

"I think everyone still remembers the impact of the last one (tsunami in Indonesia)."

Cook shire CEO Mark Pitt said Cooktown was breathing a collective sigh of relief after a nervous morning.

"There was a fair degree of nervousness as you would imagine 'cause this isn't something that happens every day here," he said.

"We're much more used to cyclones rather than tsunamis."

Education Queensland said it was not aware of any schools closing, but a kindergarten on the Gold Coast was understood to have been evacuated.

A Geoscience Australia spokeswoman said any resulting tsunami would have been between 10 and 20cm, posing little threat to residents in isolated areas.

University of Queensland geophysicist Dion Weatherley said the earthquake was 30 times smaller than the tremor which generated the Asian tsunami on Boxing Day 2004.

Tsunami hits Solomons; 8 reported dead
By EVAN WASUKA, Associated Press Writer 14 minutes ago  
HONIARA, Solomon Islands - A powerful undersea earthquake Monday in the South Pacific sent a tsunami several yards high crashing into the Solomon Islands, devastating at least one village, officials and residents said.
 
Police and residents said a wave about 10 feet high struck the western town of Gizo, inundating buildings and causing widespread destruction. A man who answered the telephone at the Gizo police station said there were initial reports that eight people, six of them children, had been killed by the tsunami but they were still unconfirmed. The phone cut out abruptly before the man gave his name.
 
Gizo resident Judith Kennedy said water "right up to your head" swept through the town.
 
"All the houses near the sea were flattened," she told The Associated Press by telephone. "The downtown area is a very big mess from the tsunami and the earthquake," she added. "A lot of houses have collapsed. The whole town is still shaking" from aftershocks.
The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake measured magnitude-8.0 and struck at 7:39 a.m. about 6 miles beneath the sea floor, 217 miles northwest of the capital, Honiara.
 
The Pacific region from Australia to Hawaii went on high alert for several hours after the quake struck between the islands of Bougainville and New Georgia, though officials canceled a region-wide tsunami warning after the danger period passed.Gizo, a regional center, is just 25 miles from the earthquake's epicenter.
 
Another witness in the town, dive shop owner Danny Kennedy, estimated the height of the wave at 10 feet.

"I'm driving down the street — there are boats in the middle of the road, buildings have completely collapsed and fallen down," he said in a telephone interview.

"We're just trying to mobilize water and food, and shelter for people at the moment because ... in the town alone there's going to be between 2,000-3,000 homeless. It's not a very good scene at the moment."

Harry Wickham, who owns a waterfront hotel in Gizo, said the damage was widespread.

"The waves came up probably about 10 feet and swept through town," he told Australia's Nine Network television by telephone. "There's a lot of water damage and a lot of debris floating around," he added.

"Ten feet of water washing through town — you can imagine what damage it has done here."

Julian McLeod of the Solomon Islands National Disaster Management Office said there were unconfirmed reports that two villages in the country's far west were flooded.

"Two villages were reported to have been completely inundated," McLeod told Australian Broadcasting Corp. radio. "We have received reports of four people missing."

A town in the west, Munda, was believed to be badly damaged, officials and the Solomon Islands Broadcasting Corp. said, but communications were difficult and details were not confirmed.

The Hawaii-based Pacific Warning Center reported the quake at magnitude 8.1, and said a temblor of that strength could cause a destructive tsunami and issued a warning bulletin for the Solomon Islands and neighboring Papua New Guinea.

It ordered a lower-level "tsunami watch" for other places, including most South Pacific countries, but later canceled the alert. The center said a 6-inch wave had been reported in Honiara.

Police Sgt. Godfrey Abiah said in Honiara that police in Gizo had received warning about a possible tsunami and were helping people leave the town for higher ground when the wave hit.

"We have lost radio contact with the two police stations down there and we're not getting any clear picture from down there," he told The Associated Press by telephone.

A spokesman for Prime Minister Manasseh Sogavare, Deli Oso, said the quake was felt in Honiara but there were no reports of any damage.

Article from: Agence France-Presse

A MASSIVE earthquake struck the Solomon Islands today, sending a tsunami crashing into the country's west coast and prompting region-wide disaster warnings, officials said.

Sergeant Godfrey Abiah, speaking from the capital, Honiara, said police in the western town of Gizo reported a wave several metres high crashing ashore.

The tsunami followed a powerful earthquake with a magnitude of at least 7.8 that struck in the New Georgia Islands region.

It prompted the Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre to issue a tsunami warning.

A Solomons national disaster management office program officer said a wave had hit parts of the far west of the Solomons, near Bougainville.

"Two villages were reported to have been completely inundated, also on the nearby island called Molo we received reports of four people missing following the tsunami," Julian Mekai told ABC radio.

"We also received confirmed reports of a tsunami hitting Gizo, the capital of the western province.

"No casualties are reported at this stage but one unconfirmed report has said one old man .. . . is still missing."

*Great Earthquakes in Diverse Places

'Hundreds missing' after Earthquake/Tsunami*

By Michael McKenna

April 03, 2007 01:00am
Article from: The Australian


A LARGE-SCALE relief effort will be launched today to deliver aid to thousands of Solomon Islanders left homeless after a tsunami in the
Pacific nation left hundreds missing when it washed away entire villages.

At least 15 people were last night confirmed dead after 10m waves struck some of the Solomons' most remote western provinces early yesterday,
sending a wall of water 500m inland.

The tsunami was triggered by a 8.1-magnitude undersea earthquake at 6.40am (AEST) about 350km of the capital of Honiara.

An Australian Government team comprising ministerial officials and the Red Cross was yesterday sent to begin the rescue effort at Munda in the
Western Province. The major rescue effort was beginning last night with food and medical supplies loaded on to ships in Honiara.

Solomon Islands Prime Minister Manasseh Sogavare said last night the death toll was expected to rise. But it could have been worse if the giant waves had come at night.

"We are lucky that it happened during the daytime - that the people observed that the sea receded and that basically is a sign that  something is not right and then most people have taken to higher grounds," he said.

"Those that have been unfortunate to lose their lives were those people who were not aware of what is happening."

Mr Sogavare said the full extent of casualties and damage was still unclear. "Most of the islands are low-lying and the extent of the damage
is yet to be known," he said.

Buildings were levelled by the earthquake, which created a series of large waves that continued to lash the Pacific Ocean islands for several  hours and washed away entire coastal villages. The Solomon Islands Government last night issued a warning to expect more tsunami activity  following advice by Australian seismologists that another big earthquake was possible in coming weeks.

The quake was one of the biggest in the Pacific Rim since the Boxing Day quake off Indonesia in 2004, which unleashed massive tsunamis that
killed more than 200,000 people across the Indian Ocean.

An initial alert from the Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre in Hawaii to Australia yesterday caused widespread panic in north Queensland, where
traffic was gridlocked out of Cairns after radio broadcasts told people to immediately evacuate the coast.

The confusion continued further down the coast, with ferry services on Sydney Harbour being halted and surfers on Bondi Beach asked to leave
the water and the beach in preparation for giant seas.

Queensland Premier Peter Beattie was highly critical of the early warning systems, and telephoned John Howard to get accurate information on the extent of the threat. "Frankly, we need warning systems out to sea on islands nearby to give us a better indication," he said.

"We were trying to work out the magnitude of it but we were shooting blind, and I don't believe this is good enough for Australia."

Solomon Islands government spokesman Alfred Maesulia last night conceded the death toll was likely to "rise significantly", with a full assessment of the destruction hindered by the isolation of the hardest-hit areas of the Choiseul province, on the maritime border of  Papua New Guinea, and Western province, where the tourist town of Gizo was completely submerged by water.

Mr Maesulia said he feared disease outbreaks and untreated injury could "worsen the situation", particularly in the more isolated coastal communities.

"The number of deaths and injuries are continuing to rise, and will rise significantly as we make contact with these remote communities. It could
be in the hundreds that are missing, entire villages have been wiped out, we don't know how bad it is."

The Australian Government pledged $2 million last night in initial emergency and reconstruction assistance.

The Australian-led Regional Assistance Mission to Solomon Islands, deployed to the strife-torn nation in 2003, was being mobilised under the direction of the Solomons Government.

Thousands of locals who escaped to higher ground ahead of the waves slept in bushland without sanitation or shelter.

A Royal Solomon Islands Police spokesman said there was great uncertainty about the extent of the damage, particularly in Choiseul.

"The southern end of Choiseul is the great unknown at this stage. There are so many communities that are out of touch and we don't know what happened," he said.

Officials are not expected to reach the devastated areas until early this afternoon.

Australian dive shop owner Danny Kennedy said the wave that hit Gizo was 3m high. "There are boats in the middle of the road, buildings have
completely collapsed and fallen down," he said. "We're just trying to mobilise food and shelter for people at the moment because in the town
alone there's going to be 2000 to 3000 homeless."

The lessons of the 2004 Boxing Day tsunami, which hit 13 countries across the Indian Ocean, appear to have saved hundreds of lives. Solomon
Islands' Red Cross Secretary-General Charles Keli said the "tell-tale" signs of the ocean receding from the shore, following a series of 2m
waves, sent people running. A government warning, broadcast about 30 minutes after the earthquake, also gave notice of the imminent danger.

"The waters were moving back into ocean and a lot of people in these areas evacuated themselves to higher ground," he said.

The Australian Government said it was not aware of any Australian casualties.

Mr Sogavare called on leaders at all levels to ensure victims received all the help they needed.

Particularly notice these:

GRB 041219A 2004/12/19 01:42:55 INTEGRAL 00:24:26 62:49:57
This was an extraordinarily long burst, lasting nearly nine minutes in length. It was detected by both INTEGRAL and Swift, and the observations agreed closely with each other. An afterglow has been detected in radio and infrared wavelengths, with some followup observations occurring just minutes after the burst was detected.

GRB 041218A 2004/12/18 15:46:03 INTEGRAL 01:39:06 71:20:04
GRB 041218 is a relatively long burst, clocking in at about one minute in duration. An afterglow was positively identified within hours of the burst, glowing faintly at magnitude 22.2 in the red. More interestingly, it was also seen by an amateur astronomer named Odd Trondal, observing from Norway. His webpage with information and images is [link to www.geocities.com]

GRB 041217A 2004/12/17 07:28:30 Swift 10:59:09 -17:57:00
This ~8 second burst is rather typical physically as GRBs go, but is far more important historically because it was the first seen by the newly-commissioned Swift satellite. Swift detected the burst near the edge of its field-of-view, and immediately notified ground controllers about the burst. This event showed scientists that Swift is capable of performing the tasks for which it was built.

GRB 041211A 2004/12/11 11:31:47 HETE 2 06:43:12 20:23:42
This relatively long (~100 second duration) burst was detected by the HETE-2 spacecraft. No optical counterpart or afterglow has been detected down to 19th magnitude.

Further research needs to be done on the length of time of the GRB and the magnitude of the ensuing earthquake.

Stepwise multiple regression will reveal the best predictors of interest about GRBs that determine EQ magnitudes.

Come on, you physical scientists!! Get busy and do the research!!

Now, also, since there is a Gamma Ray Burst phenomenon, WHO will find the Cosmic Ray Burst phenomenon??

Will it be Dr. Paul LaViolette?

And who will find the CRBs are driving the entire mechanism, including GRBs?

Re: Gamma Ray Bursts lead major Earthquakes by 2 weeks Quote

Look at this GRB.

GRB 070318 was a long burst, lasting over two minutes. It peaked rapidly in gamma rays, brightening over 12 seconds, then faded slowly. There may have been two more weak peaks of emission 140 and 170 seconds after the first peak, too.

A fading X-ray afterglow was detected by Swift. There was a weak flare of emission 200 seconds after the initial gamma-ray peak, and a very bright flare 80 seconds after that.

There was a very bright optical afterglow. Swift detected the afterglow in all seven filters.

Spectra taken using the Very Large Telescope, Magellan, and Gemini telescopes all confirm a redshift of approximately z=0.840, giving this GRB a distance of 7 billion light years.

3/18 that makes this weekend for the the EQ.

This is a biggy
Re: Gamma Ray Bursts lead major Earthquakes by 2 weeks Quote

Attention: GRB occurred on 03/28/07 here:

Burst ID Date Time Mission RA Dec
GRB 070328A 2007/03/28 03:53:53 Swift 04:20:28 -34:04:08

Therefore, the clock is now ticking on a major >6 Richter EQ in 10-14 days. This >6 EQ will be either in Indonesia area or on the Ring of Fire (Australia/Japan/Siberia) but will be in the Eastern Hemisphere.

Please monitor various EQ recording sites beginning about a week from now for one week period to see this prediction either confirmed or refuted -- made in advance on 3/28/07 here.

If you find a confirmation or refutation and are so inclined to post your confirm or refute link, I think we would all appreciate your response.

Thanks.

Re: Gamma Ray Bursts lead major Earthquakes by 2 weeks Quote

The GRB which occurred on 03/18/07 is coming up on the expected time frame when a >6 EQ will result, i.e., about 10-14 days after the offending GRB.

We also had another GRB occur today, 03/28/07, so we should be seeing later on even more seismic activity. Please keep an eye on your seismic data page, e.g., [link to earthquake.usgs.gov]

For the record, today, 3/28/07, there were these EQs:

MAP 5.9 2007/03/28 21:17:13 -5.955 29.837 10.0 LAKE TANGANYIKA REGION, CONGO-TANZANIA
MAP 5.0 2007/03/28 16:08:49 -4.831 103.110 81.8 SOUTHERN SUMATRA, INDONESIA
MAP 5.0 2007/03/28 14:28:56 25.587 -109.535 10.0 GULF OF CALIFORNIA
MAP 5.7 2007/03/28 08:08:09 -30.761 -178.095 35.0 KERMADEC ISLANDS, NEW ZEALAND
MAP 5.1 2007/03/28 04:05:32 37.233 136.520 10.0 NEAR THE WEST COAST OF HONSHU, JAPAN

And also for the record, the >6.0 Richter is yet to be (in the next 4 days, i.e., by not later than 4/3/07).
Re: Gamma Ray Bursts lead major Earthquakes by 2 weeks Quote

The expected >6 Richter EQ has, in fact, occurred exactly as predicted. Here is your proof:

Update time = Sun Apr 1 23:00:07 UTC 2007


MAG UTC DATE-TIME
y/m/d h:m:s LAT
deg LON
deg DEPTH
km Region
MAP 6.7 2007/04/01 20:47:32 -7.133 155.661 10.0 SOLOMON ISLANDS
MAP 7.6 2007/04/01 20:39:56 -8.474 156.950 10.0 SOLOMON ISLANDS

I have, here, provided further evidence that a GRB precedes a major EQ by 2 weeks by predicting the EQ in advance and the general area of it, i.e., Eastern Hemisphere, Ring of Fire region.

[link to earthquake.usgs.gov]

We have had, yet again, 2 more GRBs in the last days:

Burst List
Burst ID Date Time Mission RA Dec
GRB 070330A 2007/03/30 22:51:31 Swift 17:58:04 -63:46:44
GRB 070328A 2007/03/28 03:53:53 Swift 04:20:28 -34:04:08

These would precede a >6 EQ scheduled to occur April 11-16.

Watch for them.

Have you done a regression analysis? If so, would you share it with us?

I notice that you offer a lead-lag factor of 10-14 days. Isn't a 4-day window a bit high? I mean, there are so many earthquakes, you should have no trouble finding one either 10, 11, 12, 13, 1or 14 days after a gamma ray burst. Does the statistical analysis take that into consideration?

Finally, do you have any hypothesis for the causative?

Hope to hear from you soon.
