Earthquake cloud From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Earthquake cloudsIn chapter 32 of his work Brihat Samhita, Indian scholar Varahamihira (505 – 587) discussed a number of signs warning of earthquakes: Unusual animal behavior, astrological influences, underground movements of water, and extraordinary clouds occurring a week before the earthquake. Since 1994, Zhonghao Shou, a retired Chinese chemist living in New York, has made dozens of earthquake predictions based on cloud patterns in satellite images, and claims to have a 70% accuracy. Stress and friction in the ground can vaporize water long before the earthquake happens, according to Shou, and clouds formed through these mechanisms are distinctly shaped. He has identified five different types of earthquake cloud, including “line-shaped”, “feather-shaped”, and “lantern shaped” clouds. He claims that an earthquake will take place within 103 days of the appearence of one of these clouds, and that the average time is 30 days. On December 25, 2003, one day before the Bam earthquake, he predicted an earthquake of mag. 5.5+ within 60 days over a fault line in Iran. Historical records have indicated a possible correlation between clouds and earthquakes in the ancient civillizations of Rome, India, and China. http://earthquakecloudpredictions.com/earthquake_cloud_predictions_most_recent_earthquakes.php?mmin=8.00&mmax=12.99 SCIENTISTS FEAR FOR EARTHQUAKE IN MOSCOW http://www.inauka.ru/english/article33518/print.html With 1988 up to 1992 approximately 400 earthquakes were fixed in the Moscow region Yulia IGNATYEVA

–> A city is made of a million tons of concrete, steel and stone. A great deal of people lives in it, some of them make a living by digging in the ground or detonating explosions underground. What are the risks of man’s subterranean activities? The Committee for Science and Technologies under the Moscow government has been trying to get an answer to this question. The Committee is holding meetings with some scientists who claim that old-fashioned methods in construction may cause cataclysms. It keeps a low profile on the issue that is likely to give a scare to the city residents, but “Izvestia” has managed to get to know the scientists’ arguments at first hand. All the scientists are confident that everything would crumble without money allocated for science.

Russian Plateau Bursting At Seams

A research center “Geon” was the first to warn about the threat of earthquake in Moscow. Ida Pomerantseva, deputy director of the center, has some amazing stories to tell:

“From 1988 to 1992 about 400 earthquakes were entered in our files, local earthquakes including. It’s a very ominous sign. There were no earthquakes in Moscow in the past.”

At school they used to tell us that Moscow was sitting on a Russian plateau, an ancient static formation protecting us against the earthquakes. Pomerantseva believes that her colleagues and herself have disproved that concept using as an example Almetyevsk, a town located in southeastern part of the plateau.

“Back in the sixties we forecast an earthquake in that area,” says Ida Pomerantseva with a hint of pride. “But nobody believed us. Then a local earthquake measuring between 2 and 3 points by Richter’s scale was recorded in 1983, plus two more earthquakes of 5-6 points occurred in 1986 and 1992. The causes of the earthquakes are man-made. They draw oil out there. They pump water underground. Therefore pressure builds up, fracture zones of the earth’s crust start to get moving. It’s even worse as far as Moscow is concerned. A fracture zone is located underneath at the depth of 40 km. It’s set in motion by water being pumped in and out by the heat power plants, by the Kurchatov Institute of Atomic Energy and by the industrial works.”

Research fellows at the Kurchatov Institute brush off those arguments. They believe that the earth’s crust fractures have been around for million years and can’t be affected by human activity near the earth’s surface. They don’t think that the Almetyevsk case is by any means applicable to Moscow. The city takes drinking water as well as water for technical purposes from the Volga river; water volumes that are pumped underground in Moscow area can’t even be compared to those in Almetyevsk.

Blame It All on the Builders

Scientists from one of the most trustworthy geophysical research institutes in this country, the Schmidt Joint Institute of Earth Physics are not afraid of any earthquakes.

Oleg Khavroshkin, Doctor of Physico-mathematical Sciences, says:
“There have never been, nor will be any local earthquakes in Moscow. It’s true that we can feel a magnitude ranging from 1.5 to 2 points due to earthquakes happening in the Carpathian Mountains. Some shaking will be felt at the twentieth floor. A chandelier will swing, but that’s all.”

Pomerantseva doesn’t assert that Moscow will be struck as hard as Turkey and Algeria.

Yet she cites a couple of incidents involving the cave-in of an asphalt paving in Peschanaya and Bolshaya streets, and an apartment building in Novokhoroshevski Proezd, it cracked in two, residents had to be evacuated. Her opponents blame the slapdash builders, and say that earthquakes are out of question. But there’s one more story up her sleeve.

“Do you remember what happened to an apartment building in Michurinski Prospect in 1997?” says she and stresses that for her it’s the perfect evidence of her Moscow earthquake theory. “We recorded two earthquake shocks with an epicenter in that area on September 8 and September 9. On September 10 a section of the building under construction collapsed.”

People at the Schmidt Joint Institute of Earth Physics have a different opinion.

Oleg Khavroshkin: “The damage was caused by the mistake made by the planners of Ramenki area. There was a deep ravine out there, it was filled, but they failed to take into consideration the soil’s special properties. They should have built a footing on long piles, but they made a regular, strip footing instead. We conducted an examination on site and we were never paid for it, because our findings showed that the builders did nothing wrong. At the end of the day, the planners can’t be held responsible either.

They did the job in compliance with the Construction Standards and Regulations. But in that particular case those standards and regulations turned out to be inapplicable.”

For the record – they don’t build over ravines any more. Research Institute of Foundation Engineering and Subterranean Works is still in charge of developing the Construction Standards and Regulations. They have a true story of their own.

Valery Petrukhin, deputy director of the institute, speaks out: “The building in Ramenki fell down not because of the soil or any kind of earthquake. They simply made a few mistakes while building it. Geologists today are not in great demand. That’s why they make up stuff to ask money for the research.”

Money Is Too Tight To Mention

Everybody understands that a research should be backed up by money. But what exactly should be researched and how much will it cost?

Ida Pomerantseva:
“Sometimes I feel like saying: dear Muscovites, you can easily finance our earthquake forecasts by sparing one ice-cream a year. We need to prepare a map of the Moscow danger zones. It will take between 2 or 3 years and will cost 35 million roubles.” Nobody argues over the importance of such a map.

Igor Khavroshkin agrees: “ Even the distant earthquakes damage the gas pipelines and power lines. Should something similar to the 1927 earthquake in the Crimea happen again, we will survive, and our houses will be still standing. But major gas pipelines will be disrupted and a fire might break out.”

According to Igor Khavroshkin, so-called continuous factor of a man-caused impact on the environment poses a real threat to Moscow. “The environment slackens, soil gets tighter or reacts like a viscous fluid. Mexico City sunk by 6 meters over the period of 50 to 70 years. Moscow is descending too, our study of the embankments tell us so. Moscow is not New York where it’s safe to do anything because the city is sitting on the rock. Our construction requirements should take it into account.”

Valery Petrukhin gets really excited over the last remark: “Your scientists have no idea of foundations nor the Construction Standards and Regulations. We are the experts, professionals. Do you really think that it wasn’t taken care of by thousands of specialists?”

It’s only logical for “the real professionals” to put a blame on science. Science that nowadays looks like a nuisance with its hand outstretched. Especially if scientists try to get a hold of the same coffers. Ida Pomerantseva is ready to render services of her institute for the planning of each new building project in Moscow. 2-5 percent of the total amount of financing would be a fee for services rendered. Hundreds of thousands roubles. Daydreaming. So far the institute is given 50 thousand roubles per year by courtesy of the Moscow government.

“An agency for monitoring the geological environment should be comprised of many organizations,” says Oleg Khavroshkin. “It should be truly independent, without links to power brokers. Monopolism is one of the biggest stumbling blocks in Moscow.”

Monopolism is not so terrible as an earthquake can be. “Geon” researchers paint gloomy pictures for the Moscow governments trying to get more funds. They say Moscow might follow suit of Neftegorsk that was destroyed by the earthquake in 1995. The town used to be located in a seismically sensitive area. Moscow is on top of the Russian plateau.

But that’s alright. Every scientist wants a slice of the pie and absolute trust of the city officials. Science marches on its stomach.

A flying saucer-shaped cloud has been spotted in the skies above Romania just weeks after a similarly striking formation appeared over Moscow. Notice to the left of the screen, two objects are darting in and out of the clouds.

HAARP at work?

RUSSIA: MOSCOW OFFERS EARTHQUAKE FORECAST SYSTEM.(Brief Article)

IPR Strategic Business Information Database, August, 2000

Russia’s Emergency Situations Ministry has begun to offer its services to forecast earthquakes around the world, Interfax reported on 31 July. The system, which recently won a contest held under Council of Europe auspices, not only seeks to predict where earthquakes will occur but also how much damage they will do.

A ministry official said that the system has already been successfully applied in Turkey, Japan, and Iran. PG Copyright (c) 1999. RFE/RL, Inc. Reprinted with the permission of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty

A “HAARP” attack in China?

Over a period of almost two days (May 9-10, 2008) numerous prominences and extensions danced above the Sun’s edge as seen in the extreme UV wavelength by the STEREO (behind) spacecraft. Some of these broke away from the Sun and others were forced by magnetic forces back into the Sun. But near the clip’s end a narrow burst of material can be seen shooting out of an active region near the Sun’s edge. Scientists describe it as a small coronal mass ejection.

Solar Explosion (wikipedia)
Solar flares are an example of explosion common on the Sun, and presumably on most other stars as well. The energy source for solar flare activity comes from the tangling of magnetic field lines resulting from the rotation of the Sun’s conductive plasma.

UFO Cloud Ships? or EarthQuake Clouds?

Very strange phenomena in the Saudi Arabia sky

I am a scientific, Logical-thinking person
My question not about the shape, I have seen many strange shape clouds, I have been to Sapporo, Japan, temperature. About -35 and sky have very beautiful colors,
Shape of clouds can vary because of the wind direction and temperatures
I wonder about the LIGHT source, see it carefully, it is strange, you may see there are 2 sources, one beneath the dark object the other is at its left side between the clouds

Earthquake Prediction ?

According to US-based quake researcher Zhonghao Shou, who has been using satellite imagery to predict quakes on the basis of peculiar cloud formations, ancient Chinese and Italians studied special clouds which were indicative of impending earthquakes.

A website on earthquake clouds and short term prediction maintained by him ‘Earthquake clouds and short term prediction’ homepage, states that he had predicted “a China or Neighbour EQ Cloud” more than 24 hours before the Pakistan quake happened.

That is really a good stuff, IMPO.

Dr. Zonghou Shou, a chemist from China, has long advanced the idea that certain cloud formations may in fact be percusors to earthquakes. This is not a new idea. It’s been around for over 5,000 years. Anecdotal written evidence exists from before and after many signifacnt quake events in human history, including many startly accounts from the New Madrid quakes of the last century in the United States.
Dr. Shou’s predictions advanced the idea into the 21st cenntury, by using cloud observations from weather and evironmental earth-orbiting satellites, something never before attempted. His successes in predicting large, devastating earthquakes in places such as Iran are well noted, and have been recognized by the affected governments.

One difficulty in learning more about this phenomenon has been the amount of time needed to check satellite images and loops from across the planet on a constant basis. It’s too much for one person!

On this site we will attempt to solve this, in a fun way, with your help, to see if we can all find answers that may save thousands of lives every year.

First, we’ll be saving satellite cloud data worldwide. When a new earthquake is reported, the last 60 days worth of images over that exact location will be available in a loop for anyone to view. If you see an earthquake cloud? Click and report it! Over time perhaps we can build up a library of strange cloud formations over known earthquake sites to help us define what an earthquake cloud really is!

We’ll also make available all images planet wide, by area, for anyone to view to look for earthquake clouds in areas that have not yet experienced a quake. With a click, you can alert everyone viewing to your sighting! If an earthquake follows? We’ll keep track of your ‘prognosticators’ score, and archive the prediction so everyone will know you’re a master earthquake cloud predictor.

Bear with us! This is a hobby, born of a belief in what Dr. Shou has begun. We want to help, and continue his work, and do so as our time as enthusiasts permits. Donations are appreciated.

EARTHQUAKE CLOUDS AND
SHORT TERM PREDICTION

Predicting Earthquakes By Earthquake Clouds,

Zhonghao Shou Is Truly Impressive

- Jing News Reporter Steve Li on November 16, 1999-

Using Very Simple Tools and Producing Very Accurate Predictions, This Chinese Earthquake Researcher Says that His Prediction Work Has Been Motivated by A Sense of Responsibility. Zhonghao Shou, having noticed an earthquake precursor Earthquake Clouds for more than nine years, has been living in America since 1993 accidentally for a debate about the prediction in medium California. Meanwhile, he predicted 40 earthquakes, and formed his theory and method. “Although having a few simple tools, such as a printer, a computer, a compass, a few maps, a number of satellite images, photographs, and articles, the Earthquake Prediction Center works very well” Chinese researcher Zhonghao Shou described his simple center from Pasadena, California by e-mail. He also said, “Many universities and institutes spend a lot of money every year, but no one of them predicts earthquakes as well as ours.” His Amazing Journey Began From His First Prediction Nine Years Ago Interviewed by a TV station in the Middle East for a special TV program called “Global Trends” in later October, Shou introduced his earthquake clouds theory to 17 million audiences in Jordan, Egypt, Israel and so on. In early October, his article for propagating earthquake clouds method was published in Turkey. His theory has not been approved by the main stream academicians of America, but it is getting more and more attention because of many recent large earthquakes in the world. On June 20, 1990, Shou made his first prediction in his hometown, Hangzhou, China. He saw a single, long line-shaped cloud, whose tail pointed toward a northwest direction. Eighteen hours later, a 7.7 earthquake happen in Iran and caused 370, 000 deaths and injuries. Shou deeply believed that there was a strong relationship between the cloud and the big earthquake. Henceforth, he started his amazing story of predicting earthquakes. Chinese Ancestors Predicted Earthquakes By Earthquake Clouds Ancient Chinese and Italians studied special clouds to predict earthquakes. Shou mentioned that the Chronicle of Lon-De County (35.7 E, 106.1 N) in Ningxia province, China, 300 years ago (recompiled in 1935) recorded, “It was sunny and warm; the sky was blue and clear. Suddenly, there appeared threads of a black cloud spanning the sky like a long snake. The cloud stayed for a long time, so there would be an earthquake.” Following this message, Shou found its corresponding earthquake, the 7.0 Guyuan (36.5 N, 106.3 E), Ningxia earthquake on October 25, 1622. It was the only big one in the western China (< 110 E) within 148 years from July 26, 1561 to October 13, 1709. Shou thought that this earthquake prediction was the first successful one in the world. Shou Wanted To Make His Predictions More Accurate It was an accident for Shou to get into earthquake prediction. In 1992, Zhonghao Shou, 51 years old, retired from his work of both chemical analysis and products control in Hangzhou. He came to California in May, 1993. He only planed to stay in California for a short time because he had a contract with a factory for his patent, but two events, the failure of the Parkfield Prediction on November 15, 1993 and the 6.7 Northridge Earthquake on January 17, 1994, made him change his plans. Foreseeing the failure of the Parkfield Prediction, and having missed the chance to report to the USGS the Northridge Earthquake of two days before the earthquake made him feel that he had duty to stay in America and to develop his theory. Especially, the Northridge earthquake prediction impressed his mind deeply. When he went to the USGS on January15, Saturday, there was nobody in the office. He imaged that the offices in America might be like those in his hometown where someone was in an office at any time even though there was no earthquake in its history. The fact made him surprised. For 6 years, Shou’s prediction team has been gaining certain in size, having 5 members now. They made 40 predictions, signed by the USGS. The majority of the predictions are very accurate in probabilities, but their time, area, and size windows are still big. How to make predictions more exact may need more precise instruments and more sufficient data of surface wind velocities to improve the quality of their predictions.
