EARTH CHANGES 2011 DAILY UPDATES

Strong quake reported in Ecuador
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-10954788
6.9
No reports of damage or casualities which is nice

I just want to remind about Clif High report. he was a bit off when it comes to dates...
I think we are having SUMMER OF HELL this year, he was telling about "people wearing masks" (most of us thought it was related to the swine flu), "ill" winds (there are already reports of radioactive particles in the air in Russia, caused by the fires) and food riots. I have recently read that the food production this year will be lower due to all those disasters in various parts of the world and the authors are "predicting" food riots in some countries.

We tend to think of our own worlds when it comes to prophecies. It's Hell in China and Pakistan, too. Ima quit complainin' it's too hot!

Linda you have touched on a very valid point. If everything seems normal in our town/county it is hard to think that prophesy may be happening elsewhere in the world.

Ask people in Pakistan / China /Russia etc right now.....they will have a different feeling.

I believe Clif"s predictions are not restricted to USA..they are global. And SUMMER from/of HELL is happening in different parts of the world.

The Summer of Hell for the US is more hidden, in a way. With the Macondo well still not killed, new oil wells broken and spraying in Louisiana, and the dispersed oil now possibly as far North as the Jersey shore (east coast, not west coast) the Summer of Hell is different here in the US...it's not as obvious except if you are on the coasts. Huh, and they're wondering why thousands upon thousands, if not millions, of dead fish are surfacing on the East coast. Also, Atlanta has been on a code Orange smog alert for days and days now. Can't even take young children outdoors. Is there fresh air anywhere right now on the Eastern Seaboard? I guess it's time for the Fall winds to clear things out. The city people in "The ATL" have had it come on so gradually that they don't even realize how bad the air is until they get away from it. The Frog in the Beaker story comes to mind...here. In Russia, China, Pakistan and the Frozen Southern Hemisphere, it seems much more dramatic or obvious.

Floods hit Germany, Poland and Czech Republic
By Markus Salzmann
16 August 2010

The floods in Germany, Poland and the Czech Republic have claimed the lives of at least ten people. In the Czech Republic and Poland, people are still missing. In many places the damage runs into millions, while the total is not yet known.

A huge undersea volcano not far from the coast has dramatically reduced in size after partly collapsing more than 100 metres toward the ocean floor.

National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research scientists found that a volcanic cone on Rumble III, 200km northeast of Auckland, had crumbled. The volcano's highest point had dropped 90m further below the Pacific Ocean, and in some places the volcano had slipped as much as 120m.

Pakistan floods: victim number exceeds tsunami
By Channel 4 News Updated on 09 August 2010

read and check links here :http://www.channel4.com/news/articles/world/asia_pacific/pakistan+floods+struggle+to+reach+victims/3738877

As Pakistan counts more flood victims than the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, the 2005 Kashmir earthquake and the 2010 Haiti earthquake combined, Islamic Relief tells Channel 4 News of the "worst scenes of human suffering".


The floods, which first struck the country 10 days ago, have affected 13m people, the UN said today, in an area twice the size of Britain.

1,600 people have died, and around two million are thought to be homeless following the floods, the worst in the area for 80 years.

Habib Malik from the aid charity Islamic Relief has just returned from Pakistan where he filmed his experience in helping the victims. He told Channel 4 News of the agony and pain he had witnessed.

Mr Malik, who was an aid worker during the 2004 tsunami and the 2005 Kashmir earthquake, said: "To me this is one of the worst scenes of human suffering".

He said it was a race against time for aid workers trying to reach flood victims, battling Pakistan's "totally destroyed infrastructure system".

Landslides caused by the floods are hampering relief efforts further, particularly in the Swat valley. Heavy rains have also grounded some helicopters.



Maurizio Giuliano, spokesman for the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, said: "It's hard to get supplies there. I would like to emphasise we are moving by foot or donkey. We are making all kinds of possible efforts. We are unable to get in to most places of Swat Valley."

Turbo-charged monsoon confounds forecasters
Normally the jet stream is a giant loop of high speed winds that whip round the upper atmosphere, writes science correspondent Tom Clarke.

The jet stream isn't involved in day to day weather - it's too high up - but because it pushes the atmosphere around it's very important in steering large scale weather patterns below.

The stream has split in two. One arm has gone north, another south. The patch in the middle is Russia's drought. A circulating pattern of air has been sitting over Russia for far longer than normal, causing the extreme temperatures and wildfires they've had there.

But what's happening over Pakistan is even stranger. The southern arm of the Jet stream has looped down so far it has crossed over the Himalayas into north western Pakistan. Experts at the Met Office tell me this is very unusual.

And the result is that the fast moving jets stream winds high up has helped suck the warm, wet, monsoon air even faster and higher into the atmosphere - and that has caused rains like no-one can remember. It has turbo charged the monsoon if you like. They're not sure that's ever happened before.

Aid workers on foot
The Pakistani navy has deployed ships to the flooded countryside, and foreign aid agencies, the United Nations and local Islamist humanitarian organisations are working to reach victims, with some workers travelling to the worst affected areas on donkeys or on foot.

An army spokesman in Swat said landslides had blocked the main access road and helicopters were struggling to fly in the rains.

Aid workers on foot
The Pakistani navy has deployed ships to the flooded countryside, and foreign aid agencies, the United Nations and local Islamist humanitarian organisations are working to reach victims, with some workers travelling to the worst affected areas on donkeys or on foot.

An army spokesman in Swat said landslides had blocked the main access road and helicopters were struggling to fly in the rains.



"We are using 100 mules to transport relief to far-flung areas where helicopters could not fly because of bad weather," he said.

The army has distributed nearly 100 tonnes of food and other relief goods to three areas of Swat.

Security risks as well as the collapse of the country's infrastructure in the floods are holding back rescue efforts as well.< A>



Peter Kessler, spokesman in Islamabad for the UN’s refugee agency the UNHCR, told Channel 4 News: "The situation today is absolutely catastrophic.

"This is a crisis twice the size of Britain in terms of the area that's affected – some 14 to 16 million people according to government estimates. It’s just astounding.

"We're going to be finding many areas that still have not been reached for days, possibly weeks to come. But it is vital that donors, governments, private individuals come to the aid of people in Pakistan right now, make contributions and ensure that aid agencies can get things in."

An appeal launched by the Disasters Emergency Committee last week has raised £5m from the British public already.

'The army is certainly winning the PR battle'
The role of the army in Pakistan is always significant, now as much as ever, it is a very influential player. The scale of the crisis is huge, and while this is a mitigating factor for the civilian government they do appear to have been slow off the mark even though you would expect at this stage for the armed forces to be in the lead afterall it is the only organisation that has the right equipment to deal with the situation. says Dr Tim Bird of the Defence Studies Department Kings College, London.

There will have been co-ordination between the army and the Pakistani government but the army will have had a certain amount of independence too. When the US had to deal with Hurricane Katrina, it was the US armed forces including the National Guard that were to the fore in the search and rescue and immediate relief efforts. It is significant that the tribal areas where the army is co-ordinating the relief effort are also areas which it has so far struggled to control. It has lost many men while trying to maintain order here. It is difficult to tell whether or not there may be a legacy to the army's role in helping people of these regions.

In the long term, I would say that the Pakistan president Asif Zardari is a loser rather than the army being a winner but the army is certainly winning the PR battle in the Pakistani media. In such a volatile political system, it's hard to say if this will have any lasting effect however.




'Very dangerous'
Kessler said: "You have to imagine the length and breadth of Pakistan, areas along the Indus river and other tributaries. Those people living alongside these rivers, many people tenant farmers and others, have lost their homes, have seen their homes damaged or even if their homes are intact, all their possessions – fans, clothing, quilts, bedding, other items – are completely awash with mud and unusable.

"These people are not wealthy people, they have lost everything and most of all they have lost all their food stocks, and this is very dangerous for a population that’s impoverished already."

The floods have spread from the northwest of the country, in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa area, through Punjab and then down to the more southerly Sindh province.

Residents fleeing the floodwaters are wading chest-deep in water with their possessions above their heads.

"I thought the waters would go away," one Pakistani woman, Sakina, said. "I want to come back."

"For many people, finding dry land is a huge challenge," Kessler said.

Kessler said that aid agencies faced problems as their warehouses in the flood-hit areas had been hit by the waters, meaning they could not access or use their stockpiles.

"The flood waters only receded from our warehouse three days ago," he said.

The Department for International Development in the UK said yesterday that it had called in the Royal Air Force to help distribute aid including tents for thousands of refugees.

'No help' from government
A resident in the badly hit village of Kot Addu, Mohammed Saleem – whose house and grocery store were wiped out by the flood – said they had seen no state aid.

"We have not received any help from the government so far and I am sure any foreign help that will come will never reach us," he said.

The president of Pakistan, Asif Ali Zardari, has faced major criticism for his behaviour in the crisis. He continued with a tour of France and the UK, saying that his prime minister would deal with the flooding.

Over the weekend the president revealed he was donating five million rupees – around £36,500 – to the victims.

The monsoon season in Pakistan is only about half way through, with rains set to continue through August. More heavy rain is expected in the next 36 hours, and there are now concerns that two of the world's biggest dams, in the northwest of the country, could be reaching capacity.

Aid agencies said that billions of dollars may be needed in humanitarian relief in the coming months, and to rebuild the country's infrastructure and economy long-term.

"Our country has gone back several years," Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani told reporters on a visit to Sindh province.

Flooding Worsens in Southern Pakistan, Residents Flee

Saturday, August 28th, 2010

Authorities in southern Pakistan say flooding in the region is getting worse as the swollen Indus river breaches more barriers and threatens to inundate towns in Sindh province.
Officials said Saturday evacuations from the historic town of Thatta have emptied it of about three-quarters of its 300,000 residents. Levees protecting the town have been breached several times in recent days, although floodwaters have not yet reached its center.
Pakistani authorities have been working to repair the barriers. Many residents of the region have taken shelter in an ancient burial ground on Makli Hill, sitting out in the open with their cattle and belongings as they wait for help.
The United Nations says flooding in the region has displaced about 1 million people since Wednesday. The floods that began one month ago in Pakistan’s mountainous north before moving south have left 8 million people dependent on aid for their survival.
U.N. officials in Pakistan appealed Saturday for an intensified international response to the disaster, which has killed at least 1,600 people and affected up to 20 million.

Hurricane Earl has formed bearing down on the Leeward Islands
August 29th, 2010

http://www.examiner.com/noaa-headlines-in-national/hurricane-earl-has-formed-has-sites-on-leeward-islands-and-the-u-s-east-coast

Hurricane Earl

Tropical Storm Earl has become the 3rd hurricane of the 2010 Hurricane season. Hurricane Earl has winds of 75 mph. Hurricane Earl is moving towards the west at 18 mph and is expected to remain on this direction for the next 48 hours. Earl is expected to slow down and move more towards the west-northwest and then to the northwest as he starts to move into a very small break in the sub-tropical ridge. Computer models are in very god agreement with this scenario and it’s reflected in the official forecast.

Hurricane Earl is expected to gain intensity over the next several days and most computer models and the National Hurricane Center (NHC) forecast Earl to become a major hurricane within 96 hours. Please see below for more details on watches and warnings that have been posted. At this time Earl is not forecast to make landfall on the U.S east coast, however parts of the southeast are in the cone of uncertainty. This is a great time to make your hurricane preparations.

She said things were very bad , post apocoliptic were her words , there were few resorces .
Pakistan had even sent medical staff over to help ( though I am sure they have now been recalled )

After hearing this I had a look around the net and found this interesting piece on how ordinary Russians are coping
It filled me with hope that maybe this rocky path leads somewhere

Hello Silver welcome in the mists and thank you for your post.
It's at the perfect place .

I think that line in your article has a lot of meaning :

"In reaching out in a time of calamity, she says, people are experiencing not only a need to help,
"but a need to experience solidarity."

The way the world goes we will need solidarity more and more . This empathy may well be what
will truly heal the world.

thanks mudra glad you felt it was relevant to this thread

this feels like the true earth change
people coming together not waiting for a leader , being the change ..... think I have heard this some where before

no wonder there is nothing in the wests media regarding this
The PTB dont want us to see this . no wonder
people not needing a goverment , taking care of each other , sharing , opening there doors
Do you feel the power

New View of Tectonic Plates


PASADENA, Calif.—Computational scientists and geophysicists at the University of Texas at Austin and the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have developed new computer algorithms that for the first time allow for the simultaneous modeling of the earth's mantle flow, large-scale tectonic plate motions, and the behavior of individual fault zones, to produce an unprecedented view of plate tectonics and the forces that drive it.

A paper describing the whole-earth model and its underlying algorithms will be published in the August 27 issue of the journal Science and also featured on the cover.

The work "illustrates the interplay between making important advances in science and pushing the envelope of computational science," says Michael Gurnis, the John E. and Hazel S. Smits Professor of Geophysics, director of the Caltech Seismological Laboratory, and a coauthor of the Science paper.

To create the new model, computational scientists at Texas's Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences (ICES)—a team that included Omar Ghattas, the John A. and Katherine G. Jackson Chair in Computational Geosciences and professor of geological sciences and mechanical engineering, and research associates Georg Stadler and Carsten Burstedde—pushed the envelope of a computational technique known as Adaptive Mesh Refinement (AMR)



Tectonic plate motion (arrows) and viscosity arising from global mantle flow simulation. Plate boundaries, which can be seen as narrow red lines are resolved using an adaptively refined mesh with 1km local resolution. Shown are the Pacific and the Australian tectonic plates and the New Hebrides and Tonga microplates.
