Tuesday Feb 22 Seismic Monitor

by Terrence Aym

February 19, 2011

German teenager Gerrit Blank may be the unluckiest person on Earth...or maybe he's the luckiest.

What some astronomers claim is a "trillion to one chance" has happened again, a meteorite has hit a human being. Although the odds are certainly against anyone being hit—let alone killed—by a meteorite.

Perhaps a trillion to one is being too optimistic, however, because at least two people have been struck by meteorites in less than 100 years and there may be more cases of such incidents.
Over the past few thousands of years dozens of documented cases recorded the maiming or killing of many humans. Some of the more verifiable historical cases can be found at "Reported Deaths and Injuries from Meteorite Impact" http://delong.typepad.com/sdj/ 2008/06/reported-deaths.html Other documented near misses are described here: http://www.ketv.com/news/46721 77/detail.html

Animals too are subject to meteoric injuries and death.

According to news reports, Blank, who was walking to school, was grazed by a space rock about the size of a pea. That might not sound too sensational until one considers that the "pea" was traveling about 30,000mph.

The tiny chunk of rock hit his hand before slamming into the ground next to him creating a foot-wide crater. That is the bad luck part of the story.

The good luck comes with his survival of the incident. Although he suffered an injury—the encounter with the meteorite has left him with a livid three-inch long scar—Blank is really none the worse for wear considering what would have happened had the rock scored a direct hit.

A meteorite did score a direct hit on an animal. The space rock dubbed "Valera," hit and horribly killed a grazing cow. The animal literally exploded where it stood and was cut almost entirely in half within an instant.

Other meteorites have been reported to have killed an Egyptian dog, a horse, and other animals.

The best documented human-meteor encounter before Blank's experience occurred back on November 30, 1954. Ann Hodges of Sylacauga, Alabama was in her living room sleeping on a couch when a grapefruit-sized meteor came smashing through the roof, slammed onto the radio, bounced off it and hit her. She suffered cuts and bruises.

According to Wikipedia, the "Hodges meteorite"—or Sylacauga meteorite—is displayed at the Alabama Museum of Natural History.

Blank told the newsmedia during an interview about his experence that "At first I just saw a large ball of light, and then I suddenly felt a pain in my hand. Then a split second after that there was an enormous bang like a crash of thunder."

The flash and ban startled and disoriented the boy.

New Zealand earthquake: 65 dead in Christchurch


http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-12533291

New Zealand's prime minister says at least 65 people have died after a 6.3-magnitude earthquake hit Christchurch.

John Key said the toll was expected to rise further, adding: "We may be witnessing New Zealand's darkest day."

The tremor caused widespread damage as it occurred at a shallow depth of 5km (3.1 miles) during lunchtime when Christchurch was at its busiest.

The mayor of New Zealand's second-biggest city says 120 people have been rescued from the ruins.

The country's deadliest natural disaster in 80 years struck at 1251 (2351 GMT on Monday), 10km (6.2 miles) south-east of the city.
Screams from rubble

The damage is said to be far worse than after the 7.1-magnitude quake on 4 September, which left two people seriously injured but no fatalities.

* Christchurch earthquake: Eyewitness accounts

The epicentre of that quake, which occurred in the middle of the night, was further away from the city and deeper underground, but it still caused an estimated $3bn (£1.9bn) in damage.

TV pictures of the aftermath of Tuesday's disaster showed scores of collapsed buildings in the South Island city of nearly 400,000 people.

Shocked survivors could be seen wandering the rubble-strewn streets, which cracked open as the ground beneath was liquefied by the tremor.

Police said that the dead included people on two buses which were crushed by falling buildings.

Helicopters plucked survivors to safety from rooftops, and dumped water on fires.

Officials said up to 30 people were feared still trapped inside the razed Pyne Gould Guinness building, where screams have been heard from the ruins.

Trapped under her desk inside the building, Anne Voss told Australia's Channel Seven by mobile phone: "I am hoping they will get me out soon because I have been here so long. And it's dark. And it's horrible."

Asked whether she was injured, she said: "I know I am bleeding and I can feel the ground is quite wet. I think it's blood."
Glacier smashed

A dozen visiting Japanese students are among those reported missing.

Bystanders have been using bare hands to try to free survivors trapped under debris.

Many injured people were carried out on blood-soaked stretchers or in the arms of shocked workmates and strangers.

Some escaped on ropes lowered from office towers. Others managed to crawl out of the rubble.

Analysis
Jonathan Amos Science correspondent, BBC News

By nature, earthquakes tend to cluster in space and time.

And Tuesday's tremor in Christchurch is almost certainly related to the much more energetic event that hit the region last September.

The critical difference on this occasion is the ground broke almost directly under the country's second city, and at shallow depth, 5km (3 miles) below the surface.

Contrast this with September's magnitude 7 quake: its epicentre occurred some 40km west of the city and at a depth of 10km, and it continued to rupture mainly away from the major built-up areas.

New Zealand lies on the notorious Ring of Fire, the line of frequent quakes and volcanic eruptions that circles virtually the entire Pacific rim.

The country straddles the boundary between two tectonic plates: the Pacific and Indo-Australian plates.

On South Island, the location of the latest quake, the plates rub past each other horizontally.

* Depth and location key

The tremor sent the spire of Christchurch Cathedral, a landmark in the centre of the city, toppling into the square below.

John Gurr, a camera technician, told Reuters news agency the area outside the cathedral was "like a warzone".

Power and telephone lines have been knocked out, while burst pipes have deluged streets with water.

The suburbs of Lyttelton and New Brighton are reportedly "unliveable".

Queen Elizabeth II said in a statement she had been "utterly shocked" by the news.

"My thoughts are with all those who have been affected by this dreadful event," the statement said.

The quake caused some 30m tons of ice to shear away from New Zealand's biggest glacier.

Witnesses say massive icebergs formed when the Tasman Glacier in Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park broke, tossing a nearby lake with huge waves.

Back in Christchurch, emergency shelters were set up in the city's Hagley Park, a race course and schools as night approached.

City Mayor Bob Parker told the BBC: "This is a terrible, terrible toll on our city."

"There is no power in most of the city; there is no water in most of the city," he added.

PM John Key said: "It is just a scene of utter devastation. We have to work as fast as we can to get people out of environments where they are trapped.

Grant Beedie in Christchurch: "There was no time to run"

"This is a community that is absolutely in agony. We just need this community, as it has done before and as it will do again, to come together, to check and support one another," he added.
Aftershocks

The military has been deployed to help the rescue effort, and the government has accepted an offer of specialist help from Australia.
Map of New Zealand

A series of aftershocks, some as big as magnitude 5, have already rattled the stricken city, and officials warned residents to brace for more.

One Christchurch resident, Jaydn Katene, told the New Zealand Herald: "We've had friends in town call us and say there are just bodies lying around; lots of dead bodies outside shops just lying there just covered in bricks."

A British backpacker said the city "looked like a bomb had hit it".

New Zealand experiences more than 14,000 earthquakes a year, of which only around 20 have a magnitude in excess of 5.0.

The last fatal earthquake was in 1968, when a 7.1-magnitude tremor killed three people on the South Island's western coast.

Tuesday's was the country's worst natural disaster since a 1931 quake in the North Island city of Napier killed 256 people.

This NZ quake looks like more damage than that from a 6.3 mag.

My thoughts go to Carmen who is living in NZ.
Anyone having news from her ?

Love from me
mudra

Mudra, I immediately thought of Carmen as well. Let us keep her in our thoughts. Even if I find her email I doubt she will be communicating at this moment. I felt the New Madrid rumble last Saturday evening. I was in Lexington, Kentucky. I was unable to move, and just laid there trying to come awake. The movement is so odd, queer, that one just holds still in amazement. Next time, I may not be in such shock. Crazy times, Y'all. Good luck to everyone.

In addition to Rob, the territory on the coast was also a subscription floods every year. However, flooding is considered more severe this time due to the rising sea water onto land until a radius of about 200 meters, from the usually between 100-150 meters.

That is due to drainage built around the settlement is too low and narrow so that the water overflowed and commemorate people's houses.

According to him, every night, especially in case of high waves, people can not sleep for fear of flooding brought rob their homes. He said if the government slow to repair a damaged retaining wall waves, coastal erosion is inevitable.

A couple of months ago there were 21 volcano's on alert to erupt in Indonesia, when I heard that I was shocked - at some point things are going to get crazy. That's a lot of volcanic activity in a relatively small area of the planet, add to that all the other volcano's coming back to life globally and we have something to be very concerned about.

Lucus was on Coast to Coast Monday evening, his theory is the dwarf sun that's cruising through the planetary neighborhood has such a dense magnetic mass that it's pulling magma from the earths crust towards the surface, causing earthquakes and volcano's to erupt worldwide, as well as on all the other planets too. I posted the interview on the Elenin/Nibiru thread for those who want to learn more.

Well thats interesting Mudra...I have a direct line view to Mt. Baker from where I live and if I was standing in the park on a plateau across the valley from the Mountain it would be quite a sight to see...I've been thinking only in the last few days about Mt. Baker possibly erupting as it is the sister volcano to Mt. St. Helens and I think Mt. Shasta. Mt. Baker usually has snow on it year round and at this time of year it is blanketed. Cheers!

The same storm that hammered Spokane, Wash. with record snowfall also blasted bitterly cold air through the Northwest and northern Plains.

Temperatures plummeted below zero from Montana to Wisconsin Thursday night, while temperatures dipped well below normal farther west through Washington and Oregon.

The blast of cold air has shattered temperature records, and more of the same is expected Friday night into Saturday.

Seattle has broken the record low temperature three days in a row. The city recorded 21 degrees at 7 a.m. Friday, breaking the record of 22 degrees set in 1960.

Billings, Mont., also had a record low Friday morning of minus 14 degrees, breaking the old record of minus 10 set in 1994.

Miles City, Mont., shattered its record low of minus 16, recording minus 27 degrees Friday morning. This record is tied for the tenth coldest February temperature recorded in the city.

Other records were broken or tied, including in Sheridan, Wyo. and the Montana cities of Cut Bank, Great Falls, Steeley Lake and West Glacier.
