Rhonda, Cold morning in Nashville. .TO ALL: : :WEATHER ALERT/PREDICTION: : Very serious problems developing in North American weather. 1. Severe drought has been predicted for the mid-west corn and wheat belt for the next 2 years. 2. Warmest Fall on record with "hot" weather from NYC to Chicago. [Our Lilac bushes blossomed 3 times this year. . .very confused.] 3. Lack of snow nationwide. . .drought concern. 4. Moving from unseasonably warm to unseasonably cold in a VERY short time span. 5. Bitter cold could stay in East [and Calif. for that matter] for an unknown amount of time. . . [months?] freezing infrastructures, crops and using up fuel reserves. 6. And yet spring could hit in February with record warmth again. The jet-stream is moving south fast. This causes a developing weather pattern of bitter cold dry air [not conducive to snow]. We need snow to melt into water. Sub-zero temperatures do not produce snow. In anticipation of possible problems for my new family of 6 [I was single 8 months ago], I am storing large amounts water today. . . not to mention Y2K concerns. . .can't cook anything without water. ----------------------------------------- NOW HERE IS WHERE IT GETS REALLY WEIRD. . . QUESTION: : Where was the strongest earthquake on record in the U.S.?? No, not S.F. or Eureka or Hawaii or L.A. ANSWER: Missouri in about 1898. . . same as the worst winter on record. The Western U.S. is desert sand [cushion earthquake energy], but the Eastern U.S. is ROCK. The earthquake in Missouri knocked pictures off the walls of the White House in D.C. It was felt as far away as TORONTO, CANADA. Now, one thing I observed living in California, was a pattern in earthquakes relating to the temperature under the ground. Whenever there was an extended radical shift from 30's to 90's in March or from 120's to 40's in the deserts in Nov/Dec. . . .there were earthquakes. . . usually more than one. The Eastern U.S. hot weather this fall shifting radically to sub-zero weather could shift the temperature of the sub-ground [rock] too fast, [contraction]. . . .causing movement. I was amazed when there was a 4.6 or so earthquake in North Eastern Ohio a few months back. My folks have lived there since birth and have no memory of any earthquakes there. SOOooo...... If this bitter cold reaches down into the South and STAYS for more than 3-4 weeks, we could be under the threat of a major Eastern U.S. earthquake like none anyone in the U.S. has ever known. Should this happen. . . the damage would be unthinkable, due to the fast transmission of energy waves that the rock affords. Transmission would move toward the East should it occur near the Mississippi River. . . or to the West should one occur closer to the ocean. Either way, that about covers the Eastern half of the U.S. Sorry, if some of you guys think I am nuts. . . . you are not the first, nor will you be the last. Rande Is . . . [way out on a frozen limb]
