A Huge Tsunami in the Making?

[steve_a]

Hi Everybody,

It's amazing how disasters create words we wouldn't normally use. Tsunami being one. It was only after the Indonesian one that the word got bantered about and adopted by most languages. In my youth tsunamis were called tidal waves, but I digress.

If what I've been reading over the internet the last couple of days is anything to go by, then there could be a massive tsu.... er tidal wave being formed in the "Ring of Fire" off the east coast of Australia, where it has been reported that the ocean floor has been rising at the rate of 13 feet per day. Of course there are no reports of tide changes in the area as yet, so I'm not taking this too seriously, after all, I'm a long way away, tucked neatly on the northeastern coast of Brazil.

Of course Chicken Licken also said that the sky is falling too.

If there are any Aussies out there who could spread some light on the subject, I'm sure the forum would be grateful.

Best regards,

Steve

Steve: thanks for the info. Thirteen feet a day? Really? That is huge! Lemuria rising? I recently read on another forum that there will be islands rising up, north of Hawaii. Perhaps the info on the new island(s) is mystical information: can't remember if it's in ancient text, or channelled, or both. I will search for the link.

I'm hoping the sea level is dropping instead of the other way round!!! However, 2 buoys, now 'offline' something isn't right.... We need affirmation scientifically from other sources asap....

[bluestflame]

from what i understand that's part of the heightened earthquake activity , the earth's expanding , building up enough pressure inside to even out some indentations from her past , the pacific ocean wan't always concave and yes there are references to this being the location of the land of Lemuria forcast to be resurfacing as the earth makes "cranial adjustments" and realigns her platelets

OCEAN FLOOR RISING BY 13 FEET PER DAY IN AUSTRALIA


This is very disturbing. More and more things are happening that really shouldn’t. Is the 2012 events we are waiting for, starting already? The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has a Tsunami station in event mode activated for Station 55023 – STB Coral Sea located at 14.803 S 153.585 E (14°48’9″ S 153°35’6″ E). The tsunami station has been in event mode since the large quakes occurred in the area for several days now. This is triggered by the buoys’ anomalies of water column height above the sea floor. If you do a data search for 2010 March 20th to 2010 April 13th you get this- Over 100 meters or 328 feet less distance from buoy to sea floor in 24 days! That’s 13 feet per day since the quakes. As you will see from the waves on the line graph it matches the tide lines perfectly.

Coral Sea tide chart

http://www.zetatalk.com/newsletr/issue546.jpg

So Station buoy 55023 is still on the surface. Its not the lunar cycles, checked that as well. There also has been a very odd sea surface temperature in the same location See link CSIRO web page [link] Note the area in blue on the map on the left then see the unusually cold surface temperatures on the surface in the map on the right. Seismic activity has also offers a good insight as to what may be occurring.

http://reinep.files.wordpress.com/2010/05/ring-of-fire.gif

Note the long time periods of S waves on this seismic station is the upward thrust of the ocean floor by 13 feet per day? Does anyone know what’s going on in this area? Is 2012 events already on it`s way?

It is also now speculated that the Indo Australian Plate is moving north-west, colliding with and subducting beneath the Eurasian Plate and this movement is allegedly causing the Indo Australian Plate to tip so that the western half of Australia will sink while the eastern seaboard will rise. However, the rate of movement of the Plate is so slow that it seems unlikely that that subduction is causing the rapid sea level rises recorded in the Coral Sea before the two NOAA buoys were taken off line, or at least their readings no longer made public.

What`s the conclusion?

http://reinep.files.wordpress.com/2010/05/map.jpg

In my view and many others one theory is, that it is more likely that at least parts of Lemuria are beginning to rise with totally uncertain consequences for Australia and especially the east coast. In any event the seismic activity around Vanuatu and along the western boundary of the Pacific Ring of Fire in the southern hemisphere indicates that the east coast of Australia and especially the Queenslanc coast needs to be on alert for possible tsunamis when generated there. Anyway big changes are going on here on earth, that`s for sure.

I would really think rising seabed at that rate could mean something big brewing beneath it. Ring of fire being a volcano heavy area, could this be a new volcano in the making? And could this one possibly blow up Mt. St. Helens style and thus create a tidal wave of massive proportions. That would be a huge water displacement in a really short time.

In the end, it could also fit nicely together with a new continent rising...but I don't see the rising of the seabed alone to be enough to trigger a tidal wave, as it has to be a sudden displacement of a massive body of water. The wave is only a result from that body of water having to push back to fill the void.

[Lucid Jia]

Well I live on the east coast of Aus and go surfing most days. I havent noticed any big tides or anything unusual. Hope nothing comes of this, I live right on the sea and would be hit pretty hard.

Namaste, Jia.

Linda,

If you could find that quote or link to do with mystical information etc on the rising of any new island I would appreciate it. I usually pick up stuff when I either view or read it. If you cannot find it that's cool.

Hopefully this is just an anomaly, I used to live in Aus on the east coast and have a lot of friends there.

Hi Gita,
i am not an expert in oceanography. How is it possible to get these results?

"If you do a data search for 2010 March 20th to 2010 April 13th you get this- Over 100 meters or 328 feet less distance from buoy to sea floor in 24 days! That’s 13 feet per day since the quakes. As you will see from the waves on the line graph it matches the tide lines perfectly.

The posted pic or link does not provide any like info for me. Can somebody please explain.

.

[Gita]

I have no idea Bashi - I myself haven't had much time to go through the data properly. It was what viking posted to me to post here. Sorry I couldn't be of much help to you. :(

[bashi]

The tide chart just shows that the wave height was decreasing over time. thats all. there is no relative distance to the oceanfloor indicated.

A "nearby" buoy is not showing any change within the same timeframe:

http://tao.noaa.gov/refreshed/measurement.php?site=56&dep=1883&sen=8215&measurement=33|500&syr=2010&smon=04&sday=14&eyr=2010&emon=04&eday=21

the buoy 55023 is not active at present.

For starters, it's a WHITE SUPREMACIST WEBSITE! How could you have not seen that?

[steve_a]

Hi Humble Janitor,

I didn't notice the "White pride Worldwide" logo until went back to see what all the fuss was about. I was only focussed in the content in question.
Sometimes we need to go to places where we don't like to get the information we want. I don't really think that its politically incorrect to do so. As long as I know where I'm at, I don't really care where I have to go on the internet to find the info I need and to be quite honest, even white supremacists think too.

Just because someone is a white supremacist doesn't make them any better nor worse than you or I, They simply have a different point of view and we need to be able to get over that to understand them, even when we don't agree.

I know this post seems a little callous and it's really not meant to be, but if we want to bring the world together, we must agree to disagree on many things as we go through life, especially on the internet.

Best regards,

Steve

I do really think this is a merry go round.

Am I the only one who notices there is some new topic to 'worry' about on a pretty regular basis on this forum?

Nothing gets resolved or solved. They appear, cause a stir and disappear.

UFOs around the sun ?? Where are we on that one now? Are they ? Are they not? Why is it not in the top 20 posts?

UFO spiral in Canada has died a death because, shock horror, it was a fake. (or maybe because me, Jobe's comforter, was the last one to post on it!)

So now we have 13ft a day in the Pacific... maybe that will cause a stir?? And if not... there will be something else.

Don't you see... it's all the same ?

An asteroid, that no one has predicted, could come from nowhere tomorrow and smash this planet into smithereens. No forum discussion, no leaks, no videos of it.

Do you really think that if our end or disaster comes, we will really see it coming? What a really creepy fate that would be.

Hi Kuppops my friend
Have a look at my post here
http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?2245-AN-ABSOLUTE-MUST-READ-George-Kavassilas/page7
I said much the same as you there.
We are on the same page as the saying goes.
From time to time something that I find of value comes up however my tastes have changed and its not that long ago that I looked for the scary stuff to prove to the me (ego) that I was right and all my friends were deluded into thinking all is well, that they dident get it and that any day now we would ascend or be annihilated as a species.
Well all these earth changes are natural cycles and went on long before we claimed we owned the earth.
There is no disputing that our universe is going through dramatic change but Im not convinced that it is a spiritual or non spiritual event.
Yet I am optimistic that a rise in consciousness is happening.
Who knows? I dont.
Regards Chris

[Kulapops]

Yes my friend, greybeard... it would seem we are on the same page... And how arrogant my ego to assume other people must see things my way?! No! they mustn't.

However , here springs my love hate relationship with this forum. I want people to understand that this forum is about people not events. Because 99.9 % of the material is unkowable and unprovable. Ok, I'm exaggerating.

Make it 100% :0).

Yet belief, as I see with my own, is unshakable ! What does that tell us about us? That if I beleive there is a conscious awakening (and actually, I do, too)... I will feel it to my core and I will ignore any slight clues that there isn't with unshakeable fervour. We are the observer in science.. affecting all we observe. Which is why in my opinion we need to look for answers inside not outside. the outside world is unknowable.

Is gravity really 9.8 m per sec per sec? So we are told.. and that's physics. But one day some one will point out that that is not exactly right, there is another force acting with it.. or some other.... So we have the conjecture over UFOs... They exist , they don't exist. One day, the human race may know for sure. (though if they don't exist, we'll never know... because we'll always be looking for something that isn't there). But discussing that now, won't bring clarity to the subject.

My exasperation is that I wish people would see this forum is about friendships and community and people. It is not about finding the truth to any of these stories, because how will anyone verify the validity of their sources.

Yet the truth we all carry in our hearts would speak volumes. The truth that is you. So I say.. forget all this b****ks and get down to some straight talking about real issues... like how you don't speak to certain family members any more... or why you chose to leave your last partner... or why you feel that people have it in for you, maybe.... lol... I don't know... but there is real truth in each of us.

The day we discover that will be a red letter day indeed.

All the rest of it, just reads like Sunday Sport headlines to me.... "Double decker bus found on the moon" anyone ?

Double decker bus on the moon? -- Yeah I put it there Lol.

I live on the east coast of Australia, 400kms from the Great Barrier Reef, part of the Coral Sea. There is no anomalous or obvious changes with the Sea, tides or surf. There are approx several thousand surfers daily along this coastline, again no sign of anything odd. Teams of researches, coral reef scientists, ocean biologists and many other scientists work daily in and around the G B Reef and no-one has come forth with any odd activity...

[Kulapops]

"Aliens Turned Our Son Into A Fish Finger " ... was another great headline...

David Livesey, Editor of the Sport for 18 years went on to say about this...

"One of my other proudest moments was when I didn't quite believe the story ‘Aliens turned our son into a fish finger' so I told the reporter to go to Asda, buy a packet of fish fingers, mix the child in with them and ask the mother if she could pick him out."

He added: "A few days later I was at a conference when Les Hinton came up to me and gave me a copy of this speech he had just given to a convention of editors, where he'd used that story as an example of investigative journalism in the world today."

[BMJ]

Hi Ross,
Same here in Sydney. If the tsumai comes in I'll grab my board and take in the ride of my life, might end up in Perth who knows.

All these dooms day predictions are a waste of time. Like the 6 O'Clock news and people posting to get a rise out others, to these things I just switch off, I have better things to do.
That is, spend time with my loved ones and connect / learn more about myself.

It be nice to see constructive positive topics to discuss, no matter what they maybe e.g. has anyone seen the youtube video of the elephant painting a flower, which is amazing .
If the swine flu anti vaccination campaign of 2009 can awaken the world to this deception, positive constructive topics should be able to change the mind of the world to a more positive state of mind, with that snow ball affect pay it forward and see it work for you in turn.

[Ross]

Hi BMJ,

Im hearing ya!

[steve_a]

Hi BMJ, Greybeard & Kulapops,

Come on you guys, give me a break. Don't shoot the messenger.

I think I said in the thread starter that I wasn't taking this information too seriously as I hadn't found evidence of changes in tidal activity, I even went on to mention Chicken Licken for goodness sake.
I think someone else mentioned that the root of the information came from some "Light Foundation" sort of website which was also a red flag.

If I see something that MIGHT be interesting, I'll post it up on the website to see if anybody knows some more information or could debunk it quickly to get it out of the way.

That's what makes this forum great, working together to get to the root of it all, even if at that root we find a smelly pile of you know what. :) At least we can discart that source not only for that subject, but probably as a source, full stop.

Best regards,

Hi Steve
my comments were not intended for this thread but only in regard to what K had written.
I have always appreciate your threads/post because they are information based and they are not follow my leader.
So I apologise without reservation -- you find a lot of valuable info.
My comments are really about headline grabbing large print look at what Ive found --- purely hypothetical -- futurist.
They have their place too but we need to move on from sensationalism, or rather I do.
My comments about looking for evidence of me being right is different from genuine sharing info which is what you do in a balanced way.
I respect your knowledge on many subjects.

[Kulapops]

Hi Steve,

Likewise, I mean you no harm :0). I think people are totally free to post whatever info they find.. some really nitty gritty does find its way into the public domain ahead of the MSM this way.

I myself put up information about the Summary Care Record which a lot of people in the UK have not even heard of...myself included. And now there is debate.. is it on.. is it off?

My personal bugbear, is that with the best will in the world...even if your next door neighbour tells you he is working for the government.. or that the seabed is rising 13ft a day... how do we verify this ?

Exactly like Greybeard for a time, I felt exhonerated (actually, not exhonerated, it's the wrong word, I mean... 'above others' in the dark) because I knew cool stuff, and the rest of the pop didn't... we're all little David Ickes, Bill Ryans and Kerry Cassidy's in the making.. fighting the good fight.. getting the word out... Woo-hoo...

But I just don't feel that way any more. I've found a bigger fish to fry. It's such a big fish this one. It's me.

And, I realised, that for me.. all this other stuff is just pure distraction which keeps my mind off getting on with the important issues of the day - mine.

If a tsunami should wash ashore where I live - then I'll be the first to know about it. Likewise, when I die... no one (I believe) is going to tell me about it hours in advance. I'll breathe out my last. I might not even know it's my last breath until I find I can't breathe in again...

So , I wonder, why all the preoccupation with knowing the future? Alien occupation, Illuminati take overs, police states blah, blah...

We Can't KNow the Future ! Simple. We'd like to think we can... but I bet the universe just couldn't work if we could. Just think of the confusion!

Imagine the reality of that in action:
Did I just pick my pen up.. or did I see myself picking it up in the future ?! Now I see that when I pick it up, I spill ink everywhere...am I going to pick it up now ? I'll grab a pencil instead... but then I see I'll hit my head on the desk as it rolls on the floor... erm ? !

So my take, and it's not aimed at anybody.. not you Steve, not any poster of information.. but to all of us in general. Use the forum to investigate the present. Not the future. Investigate ourselves and our friendships and our community.

Of course... that is happening... so many wonderful people are members (yourself included)... but for me the split is 80/20 in the wrong direction.

So I may just keep sticking around, going against the grain to say... hey... ! I just mowed the lawn this morning.... what did you guys do with your time ?????

Hi Kulapops,

I've been very self indulgent this morning whilst you were mowing the lawn. I've been, indeed I still am listening and watching Martin Carthy on Youtube, all the fault of another moderator (also me) who made me think about home.

I understand what you mean. I find myself at times questioning myself what I'm doing and worrying about. But I feel there are periods in our lives and also things that happen that make us think in certain ways. I can't really explain it any other way without gong into great deal, but my self indulgence is taking hold and I'm concentrating at this moment on Youtube. Who knows I will be able to explain myself better later on. :)

Best regards,

Secular variation of the Earth's magnetic field: induced by the ocean flow?

Gregory Ryskin
Robert R McCormick School of Engineering and Applied Science, Northwestern University, Evanston, IL 60208, USA
Received 12 March 2009
Published 12 June 2009

Abstract. Secular variation of the Earth's main magnetic field is believed to originate in the Earth's core. (The main field is operationally defined as comprising spherical harmonics of degree l≤10.) I propose a different mechanism of secular variation: ocean water being a conductor of electricity, the magnetic field induced by the ocean as it flows through the Earth's main field may depend on time and manifest itself globally as secular variation. This proposal is supported by calculation of secular variation using the induction equation of magnetohydrodynamics, the observed main field and the ocean flow field. The predicted secular variation is in rough agreement with that observed. Additional support is provided by the striking temporal correlation (hitherto unsuspected) between the intensity of the North Atlantic oceanic circulation and the rate of secular variation in Western Europe; this explains, in particular, the geomagnetic jerks, and the recently discovered correlation between secular variation and climate. Spatial correlation between ocean currents and secular variation is also strong. http://iopscience.iop.org/1367-2630/...63015/fulltext

Hi Everybody,

For what it's worth there was an earthquake today off the coast of Vanuatu in the Pacific Ocean. It was quite a large one and a tidal wave warning has been declared on the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu and New Caledonia.

Has this anything to do with the thread starter? I don't know. I do know that the South Pacific region is quite active when it comes to earthquakes so it could be a coincidence. In any case I thought it relevant to mention.
