A few years back there was a lot of talk about the Yellowstone Super Volcano possibly becoming active and causing a really huge disaster. I have been commenting for years now that the Super Volcano at Geysers California is having far more earthquakes than Yellowstone. In fact there have been over 121 earthquakes in Geysers California just this week alone. There have been two earthquakes that exceeded 3.0! IMO the super volcano at Geysers is far more likely to blow in the next few months that Yellowstone is.
I do not know why no one else in the media is even noticing these earthquakes. A Super Volcano in California would be even a bigger disaster than Yellowstone because of its close proximity to highly populated areas like San Francisco! Also a Super Volcano in Geysers California would spread ash and dust all across the USA just like one in Yellowstone would. That would result in cooling the temperatures and destroying crops all across the country!
There is another triple inbound Solar Storm! Just like last month. Some suspect that this solar storm has something to do with the California power outage. This image below is from the POES satellite as seen at electricquakes.com.
This impact started on Friday September 9, and there are some readings that are very unusual. The picture below is the solar wind over the last seven days.
Well, as I have said before "If you do these things the land will vomit you out!" (Leviticus 18) Irene is set to do a direct hit on NYC flooding the subways and destroying thousands of homes on Long Island.
They are already calling this "NYC's Katrina" on some web sites.
Here is a picture from www.wunderground.com showing where Irene is expected to go.
In New York City around 90% (maybe more, I do not know the exact number) of the people do not have cars, they take the subway. The subway is mostly underground and it will fill up with flood waters and take weeks to repair. Their electrical infrastructure in mostly underground as well. Transformers are filled with oil, but the connections to those transformers will be covered in mud. Mud conducts electricity (as well as dirty water) so it will be weeks before the electricity can be turned back on. The eastern 1/2 of Long Island may be wiped clean destroying thousands of homes. This will be the biggest disaster since Katrina.
*** UPDATE ***
NYC escaped the direct impact of Irene, but the rest of western NY got hit with flooding.
Now its Tropical Storm Lee for "back to back" natural disasters. When is enough, enough?
I have been working on improving my earthquake prediction device and I am adding a MMA7361 Triple Axis Accelerometer - motion detector too.
The recent changes include changing the UGN3503's to be differential inputs to the op amps. This gives twice the output swing per change in magnetic field. Using a digital VOM it is now .1 volts for a North to South reversal. That translates to about 20 on the Arduino serial data stream.
This change reduces the inputs to the Arduino to N-S, E-W and U-D, or three inputs. The other three inputs will come from the MMA7361. I am still working on getting that working.
Here are pictures of the MMA7361 board being tested on a Arduino Shield. The wiring is very simple to do.
There has been three back to back solar storms and they are due to hit earth tomorrow, Friday August 5, 2011. Here is the NASA charts showing the storms starting to impact us:
The earthquake count is above 1000 a week in the US for the first time in 2 years. That last one coincided with a planetary alignment. This time I do not know of any real alignment, there are some strange ones being reported on YouTube? There are also a lot of solar flares going on too!
California is over 500 earthquakes this week. Over 100 of them are around Hawthorne NV including one bigger one. Maybe we are ramping up to the 'Big One'??
Things are continuing to get 'shakier'. The earthquake per week for California has climbed to 672. Several solar flares hit earth a few days ago. Here is the solar wind recording showing that on the 14 th of April.
Back in 2000 I wrote an article for Nuts&Volts magazine about predicting earthquakes via a electromagnetic monitor. Back then the EM sensor rotated through 180 degrees taking readings as it went. That was because EM sensors were expensive. Today they are cheap and I am working on a new device that uses 8 sensors in a circle. I am not sure If I should read them or take their difference and read that?
Since my article was written several others have written on this concept. According to Wikipedia there is even something called the VAN method of predicting earthquakes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VAN_method
My method is superior because it involves using magnetic field sensors and recording them like the seismometers that are currently in use. I will upload pictures shortly. I am using a Arduino as the recording device then via USB it is sent to the computer. This is an earlier picture of my no-moving-parts setup:
Those are UGN3503 Hall Effect sensors arranged in a circle. The op amps are dual versions like the LF 353. Here is the updated photo. Why do I still have that green LED there on the Arduino?
I came up with this idea over 10 years ago because animals behave strangely before earthquakes. They know something is about to happen. I also know animals can navigate magnetically. If you put baby sea turtles in a pool they will swim east to west. If you add a magnet the will arc around it. That why you can take a dog to California and it will find its way back to NY. Then I discovered that there are many magnetic abnormalities around the fault lines. At that point I added the quartz into the equation and came up with this method of predicting earthquakes. How accurate it can be in predicting earthquakes is yet to be determined.
Here is the Arduino code to read the 6 analog ports:
/*
AnalogReadSerial6
Reads an analog input on pin 0-5 & prints the result
This example code is in the public domain.
*/
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
int sensorValue = analogRead(A0);
int sensorValue1 = analogRead(A1);
int sensorValue2 = analogRead(A2);
int sensorValue3 = analogRead(A3);
int sensorValue4 = analogRead(A4);
int sensorValue5 = analogRead(A5);
Serial.print(sensorValue, DEC);
Serial.print("\t");
Serial.print(sensorValue1, DEC);
Serial.print("\t");
Serial.print(sensorValue2, DEC);
Serial.print("\t");
Serial.print(sensorValue3, DEC);
Serial.print("\t");
Serial.print(sensorValue4, DEC);
Serial.print("\t");
Serial.println(sensorValue5, DEC);
delay (100);
}
This is what you should see on your screen. The OP amps are connected with 1K from the sensors to their negative inputs and 100 K to their outputs for a gain of 100. The positive inputs go to a 2.5 volt reference. They were needed to increase the sensitivity. The Arduino's 6 analog input ports are connected to sensors for North, South, East, West, up, and Down.
The video is on YouTube:
Now I am waiting for someone to give me several million to set up sensors all along the major fault lines to monitor the magnetic fields and see if it is possible to predict earthquakes that way.
Here is the schematic diagram. One of three circuits is shown. The OP amps are powered by what is marked as 'Vin' to the Arduino, that should be about 9 VDC. The gain of the op amps is about 100. The 2.5 volt reference can be two 10K resistors in series, but you might want to add a trimmer to adjust it so that the output of the op amps average around 2.5 volts. With this setup the sensitivity is still on the low side of what it should be.
Here are some pictures of the Randolph NY tornado damage. The worst tree damage was on the hill above the town.
There was lots of damage around the cemetery.
Here is a house on the hill above the town.
There was lots of other damage in town, roofs damaged and a porch missing. We also saw where the car dealership lost most of its siding and roof. My camera's memory was full so I could not take any more pictures!
This weekend we were at Allegany State Park during the storms. I stopped at the south side of the lake and took pictures of the storm to the North. That storm included a tornado that hit Randolph NY.
When we tried to leave the road to the Main Building was closed with trees across it as well as the road to the North to Salamanca. We stopped and talked to a policeman who was using an Axe to try to clear one of the roads.
There was a big fire in Salamanca NY a couple of months ago. The fire was on a Friday and we saw it on Sunday, there was still some rising and firetrucks on the scene. I forgot my camera but someone was going to email me some pictures. Anyway we were back there a few weeks ago and I took a number of pictures.
This is a composite of four picture to try to show the area of devastation. The building was 4 stories tall and about 1/2 a block in length. It went from the silo on the left all the way to the last pile of bricks on the right. There was one wall left of the building on the left after the fire but they likely knocked it down for safety reasons.
If you click on the picture you can then see it full size. You may have to enlarge your browser window too.
I thought I would give my opinion on gay marriage once again. I hear that we are no longer allowed to have our own opinion on the matter.
First a brief history. About 5 years ago Florida started promoting gay rights. Pat Robertson warned that there would be Hurricanes, tornadoes, and fires as a result. Then for 2 years in a row 3 hurricanes per year criss-crossed Florida. That was followed by fires so bad that the highways had to be shut down.
Next New Orleans was espousing its 'Southern decadence days' with phrases like 'Be as decedent as you want'. Then Katrina hid and destroyed New Orleans. Need I say more.
Next California was going to make millions by legalizing gay marriage. Then over 800 DRY lightning strikes in ONE night lit most of the state of California on fire. The devastation cost them BILLIONS!
Now the North East wants to enjoy the devastation with the rest of the country. Two states have started promoting gay marriage and New York wants to join them. I could say I told you so time and time again but the facts and the truth is as obvious as they can be. This promotion of gay rights will bring devastation on the North East. Is that what you want?
A while back I quoted the Scripture that says that 'if you do these things the land will vomit you out'.
Leviticus 18:24-28 'Do not defile yourselves in any of these ways, because this is how the nations that I am going to drive out before you became defiled. Even the land was defiled; so I punished it for its sin, and the land vomited out its inhabitants. But you must keep my decrees and my laws. The native-born and the aliens living among you must not do any of these detestable things, for all these things were done by the people who lived in the land before you, and the land became defiled. And if you defile the land, it will vomit you out as it vomited out the nations that were before you.
This is an ongoing story and I thought I would update it. Below is the seismometer located on Redoubt Alaska. Needless to say it was going crazy Sunday March 15th. It has since calmed down once again. Here are some links of interest;
This is a picture of the smoke starting to rise over Redoubt.
Now for the big catch. According to their seismometers there are other volcanoes about ready to do something. Unfortunately I cannot get web cams to capture pictures from the other volcanoes.
A while back I commented on the strange rumblings that are going on. Well, they continue but after being quiet for a few weeks the number of earthquakes is on the rise once again. This picture below shows that there were 1003 earthquakes in the US in the last 7 days. That number is like off the chart! When I first started watching there were about 700 earthquakes a week in the US. They were worried about Yellowstone. Now they are worried about Alaska. Alaska is really a rumbling. Note the cluster of earthquakes just to the left of the upper blue box. Is that a likely volcano site or what?
Then there is California. Need I say anything about that? You cannot even read 'Los Angles' for all of the earthquakes that are happening around there. There is also a hot spot in Geyser California, north of San Francisco.
I thought I would update this post by showing a map of the US and the locations of all of the earthquakes that have happened in just the last week. It is getting crazy. They are now predicting a volcano in Alaska as well as Yellowstone. What about southern California??
Rumblings, that's how I would describe it. In the news just a few days ago there was a report on the rumblings at Yellowstone. They quieted down on Jan 2 but rose up again on Jan 9 then quieted down again. The picture below is from Big Hole Peak Montana where there are rumblings going on now. As you can see after a few hours it quieted down too. What is going on here? I found similar results for January 2 and December 29 th.
If we hop over to Whitefish Montana there is something going on there too. This is more like an earthquake or more like a swarm of them, smaller ones at that. This has been coming and going for a few days now.
What do I think about it? I do not have a clue. Someone speculated that it could be caused by waves of magma moving. There is no evidence as to what it is. I read someplace that it could just be miners blasting, at least the collection of smaller earthquakes could be that. Who knows but there is something unusual happening.
Well it is already July, 2008. I have moved to Olean NY and am still waiting to see what I will do next. The church in Salamanca has purchased a lift (mini elevator) and I will be helping to install it.
The fires in California are continuing to spread, there are now over 1400 fires and California has been declared a disaster area. So much for the millions they are making by promoting Gay marriage! Here are some pictures from California. The first is a satellite picture. Notice how the smoke from the fires is just collecting over the state.
The second picture is of the evacuation areas. Some are optional and some are mandatory evacuations.
Well I hate to say that I told you so, but check out the news from California. As people woke up today they discovered that there are over 800 fires started by lightning and fueled by temperatures that are over 100 degrees. The Word of God says that if you do detestable things then the land will "vomit you out". That may happen by Hurricanes, floods, diseases, fires, earthquakes or any of a dozen other methods, but rest assured it will happen! God will not be mocked, and His Word will not return void.
As people 'come out of the closet' and start bragging on the terrible things that they are doing, judgment will come upon this land like never before. I guess now is not a good time to be buying a home, unless you want to make sure it is insured against everything, including 'acts of God'. At the same time there are people rising up who are calling for revival and for this country to turn back to God.
At 8 PM eastern, 5 PM their time, gay marriages become legal, so please pray for California. These things have a very bad history, look at what happened in New Orelans and Florida. California is headed headlong into a huge disaster! May God have mercy on them!
Leviticus 18:24 'Do not defile yourselves in any of these ways, because this is how the nations that I am going to drive out before you became defiled. 25 Even the land was defiled; so I punished it for its sin, and the land vomited out its inhabitants. 26 But you must keep my decrees and my laws. The native-born and the aliens living among you must not do any of these detestable things, 27 for all these things were done by the people who lived in the land before you, and the land became defiled. 28 And if you defile the land, it will vomit you out as it vomited out the nations that were before you.
If I were you I would not even consider going to California starting June 16. CNN is reporting that gays from all over the country are going there to get married. The CNN article is titled "Gay marriages worth $684 million", and it claims that gay marriages will boost the economy.
Do you remember what happended in Florida? Three hurricanes criss crossed the state two years in arow. Do you remember what happended to New Orleans? The Bible says this kind of behavior will cause the land to "Vomit you out".
I am not saying what will happen in California, I will leave that for the bigger prophets, but I do expect some real shaking to take place. It will cause a mass exodus from the state just like what happened in Florida and New orleans. My advice is to get out now and avoid the rush!
Last night a house just down the street had a fire and was about 50% consumed. The Fire department was there most of the night and left at 7:30 AM. More pictures are on Facebook under bobdavis321.
This is a picture of the smoke starting to rise over Redoubt. 
The second picture is of the evacuation areas. Some are optional and some are mandatory evacuations.
