"We warned at the start of ZetaTalk, in 1995, thatunpredictable weather extremes, switching about from drought to deluge,would occur and increase on a lineal basis up until the pole shift. Where this occurred steadily, it has only recently become undeniable. ZetaTalk, and only ZetaTalk, warned of these weather changes, at that early date. Our early warnings spoke to the issue of global heating from the core outward, hardly Global Warming, a surface or atmospheric issue, but caused by consternation in the core. Affected by the approach of Planet X, which was by then starting to zoom rapidly toward the inner solar system for its periodic passage, the core was churning, melting the permafrost and glaciers and riling up volcanoes. When the passage did not occur as expected in 2003 because Planet X had stalled in the inner solar system, we explained the increasing weather irregularities in the context of the global wobble that had ensued - weather wobbles where the Earth is suddenly forced under air masses, churning them. This evolved by 2005 into a looping jet stream, loops breaking away and turning like a tornado to affect the air masses underneath. Meanwhile, on Planet Earth, droughts had become more intractable and deluges positively frightening, temperature swings bringing snow in summer in the tropics and searing heat in Artic regions, with the violence of storms increasing in number and ferocity."
The wobble seems to have changed, as the temperature in Europe suddenly plunged after being like an early Spring, Alaska has its coldest temps ever while the US and much of Canada is having an extremely mild winter. India went from fatal cold spell to balmy again. Has the Earth changed position vs a vs Planet X to cause this?[and from another]Bitter cold records broken in Alaska - all time coldest record nearly broken, but Murphy's Law intervenes[Jan 30]http://wattsupwiththat.com/2012/01/30/bitter-cold-records-broken-in-alaskaJim River, AK closed in on the all time record coldest temperature of -80°F set in 1971, which is not only the Alaska all-time record, but the record for the entire United States. Unfortunately, it seems the battery died in the weather station just at the critical moment. While the continental USA has a mild winter and has set a number of high temperature records in the last week and pundits ponder whether they will be blaming the dreaded "global warming" for those temperatures, Alaska and Canada have been suffering through some of the coldest temperatures on record during the last week.
There has been no change in the wobble pattern, the wobble has merely become more severe. Nancy noted a Figure 8 format when the Earth wobble first became noticeable, in early 2005, after Planet X moved into the inner solar system at the end of 2003. The Figure 8 shifted along to the east a bit on the globe between 2005 and 2009, (the last time Nancy took its measure) as Planet X came closer to the Earth, encountering the magnetic N Pole with a violent push earlier in the day. But the pattern of the Figure 8 remained essentially the same. So what changed recently that the weather patterns became noticeably different in late January, 2012?
The N Pole is pushed away when it comes over the horizon, when the noon Sun is centered over the Pacific. This regularly puts Alaska under colder air, with less sunlight, and thus the historically low temps there this January, 2012 as the wobble has gotten stronger. But by the time the Sun is positioned over India, the N Pole has swung during the Figure 8 so the globe tilts, and this tilt is visible in the weather maps from Asia. The tilt has forced the globe under the hot air closer to the Equator, warming the land along a discernable tilt demarcation line.
The next loop of the Figure 8 swings the globe so that the N Pole moves in the other direction, putting the globe again at a tilt but this time in the other direction. This tilt is discernable in weather maps of Europe, again along a diagonal line. Depending upon air pressure and temperature differences, the weather on either side of this diagonal line may be suddenly warm or suddenly cold. The tilt and diagonal line lingers to affect much of the US and Canada, but the Figure 8 changes at this point to be an up and down motion, pulling the geographic N Pole south so the US is experiencing a warmer than expected winter under a stronger Sun. Then the cycle repeats, with the magnetic N Pole of Earth pushed violently away again as the Sun is positioned over the Pacific.
Would the Zetas be able to let us know what is causing the early break-up of the Arctic Ice, the ice seems to have taken on a swirling pattern at the same time, would this be wobble related?[and from another]http://www.vancouversun.com/news/national/Canada+Arctic+cracks+spec... The ice in Canada’s western Arctic ripped open in a massive “fracturing event” this spring that spread like a wave across 1,000 kilometres of the Beaufort Sea. Huge leads of water – some more than 500 kilometres long and as much as 70 kilometres across – opened up from Alaska to Canada’s Arctic islands as the massive ice sheet cracked as it was pushed around by strong winds and currents. It took just seven days for the fractures to progress across the entire area from west to east.[and from another]http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/IOTD/view.php?id=80752&src=iot... A high-pressure weather system was parked over the region, producing warmer temperatures and winds that flowed in a southwesterly direction. That fueled the Beaufort Gyre, a wind-driven ocean current that flows clockwise. The gyre was the key force pulling pieces of ice west past Point Barrow, the northern nub of Alaska that protrudes into the Beaufort Sea.
The Figure 8 formed by the N Pole during the daily Earth wobble has shifted somewhat to the East, due to Planet X positioned more to the right of the Earth during its approach. This was anticipated, and well described in ZetaTalk, the Earth crowding to the left in the cup to escape the approach of Planet X, so the angle between these two planets would change slightly. This shift of the Figure 8 to the East is due to the push against the Earth’s magnetic N Pole occurring sooner each day than prior. Thus instead of occurring when the Sun is high over the Pacific, over New Zealand, it is now occurring when the Sun is high over Alaska. All the wobble points have shifted eastward accordingly.
This has brought a lingering Winter to the western US, and a changed sloshing pattern to the Arctic waters. Instead of Pacific waters being pushed through the Bering Straits into the Arctic when the polar push occurs, the wobble is swinging the Arctic to the right, and then later to the left, creating a circular motion in the waters trapped in the Arctic. Since the Earth rotates counterclockwise, the motion also takes this path. This is yet another piece of evidence that the establishment is hard pressed to explain. They are attempting to ascribe this to high pressure and wind, all of which are not new to the Arctic, but this circular early breakup of ice in the Arctic is new.
Oregon declares state of emergency in 13 counties due to winter storms
Oregon Governor Kate Brown declared a state of emergency in 13 counties late Thursday after days of extreme winds and rainfall caused flooding and landslides in the northwestern part of the state.
The affected counties include: Benton, Clackamas, Clatsop, Columbia, Lane, Lincoln, Linn, Marion, Multnomah, Polk, Tillamook, Washington, and Yamhill.
The declaration allows the counties to apply for state funding to repair damage, in addition to providing them with emergency response personnel that can respond to communities if local resources are stretched too thin.
A series of powerful storms and record rainfall have slammed the state since Monday, causing widespread flooding that has closed roads from Portland to the coast. At least two storm-related deaths have been confirmed by officials.
"Heavy rains and wind have required the evacuation of residences, and mudslides and high water have severely damaged or blocked major roadways in these areas of the state,” Governor Brown said in a statement. "The emergency declaration ensures state resources, emergency response personnel, and equipment can be activated to respond to communities in need if their local resources are exhausted."
The deluge set a daily record in Portland, which saw 2.75 inches of rain on Monday alone, CNN affiliate KOIN said.
The storms also brought lightning strikes, and an F1-rating twister that reached maximum wind speeds of 15 miles an hour.
The state of emergency will remain in effect until the governor’s office lifts it.
Flash floods hit parts of S’pore for second day in a row

Flash flood along Thomson Road, opposite Thomson Medical Centre on Dec...
SINGAPORE — For a second day in a row, roads clogged up with traffic after heavy downpours triggered flash floods in several parts across the island this afternoon (Dec 11).
Flash floods were reported in areas at Thomson Road, Balestier Road, Cambridge Road and at several junctions, including Mandalay Road/Balestier Road and Boon Keng Road/Bendemeer Road, although these cleared up by 2.50pm, according to national water agency PUB’s Twitter posts.
On social media, users posted pictures of ankle-deep waters at bus stops, and traffic congestion on flooded roads. A tree came crashing down outside Orchard Central while parts of Junction 8 shopping mall in Bishan were flooded.
PUB’s director of catchment and waterways Ridzuan Ismail said the heaviest rainfall was recorded at Beatty Secondary School’s rain gauge station, with 80.4mm of rain falling from 1.05pm to 2.45pm. The bulk of the rain beat down in the first 30 minutes of the skies opening up.
PUB said it is investigating the flooding incidents but Mr Ismail said certain locations are more prone to flooding as they are situated in low-lying areas or have localised depressions, citing the examples of Cambridge Road and Thomson Road.
The junctions at Mandalay Road/Balestier Road, Boon Keng Road/Bendemeer Road and Boon Lay Way/Corporation Road are also “known hotspots”, he added.
Mr Ismail said drainage upgrading works in areas like Novena Rise/Thomson Road and Balestier Road/Mandalay Road are set to be completed by the third quarter of next year and the second quarter of 2017, respectively.
Drainage upgrading works at the junctions of Boon Lay Way/Corporation Road and Boon Keng Road/Bendeemer Road have been planned to start in the first quarter next year.
According to information posted on the National Environment Agency’s website, thundery showers in the afternoons and evenings are forecast for the next four days.
PUB advised the public to exercise caution as flash floods may occur in the event of heavy storms.
2 deaths, many rescues in Pacific Northwest storms
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Torrential rains pummeled parts of the Pacific Northwest early Wednesday causing mudslides and flooding roads, leaving two women dead in Oregon and sweeping seven people into a Washington river, where they were rescued.
A large Douglas fir tree crashed into a Portland home early Wednesday, killing a 60-year-old woman who was in bed.
The tree, roughly 30 inches in diameter, was uprooted and sliced through the house, pinning the woman underneath.

Next door neighbor Sam Choumxay said he watched in horror as the tree fell onto his neighbor's house with a thud. The tree top slammed into two cars in Choumxay's driveway.
Choumxay said he ran outside, made it around the tree, and raced to his neighbors' front door.
"Is anybody hurt? Is anybody hurt? I just kept calling to them," he said.
On Wednesday afternoon, a woman drowned after her car became submerged on a flooded road about 60 miles northwest of Portland in Clatskanie, Oregon, The Oregonian reported.
Firefighters rescued a man they found standing on top of a car in knee-to-waist deep water. They said the man drove himself and the woman into high water where the road was closed near U.S. Highway 30 and Lost Creek Road. The car then sank.
Responders found the woman dead at the scene.
More than 5 inches of rain have fallen on Portland since Sunday, and strong winds have uprooted trees from the saturated ground. At Sea-Tac Airport, where the official weather for Seattle is recorded, the weather service says 2.13 inches of rain fell Tuesday. That beats the previous Dec. 8 record of 1.61 inches.
In western Washington, seven people were swept into the Puyallup River from a riverbank homeless camp Wednesday morning.
Dramatic moment residents in flooded town form a HUMAN CHAIN to rescue people trapped in the local shop as burst river swamped community
Residents of Cumbrian village Glenridding are facing further torment after flooding hit the region for a second time
As homeowners began huge clean-up operation from weekends' floods, the village's defenses were toppled again
Police warning residents to stay indoors amid fears floods could 'endanger lives' and homes remain without power
George Osborne has announced additional £51million to support households and businesses affected by flooding
The Mail has launched an appeal to help those affected by the floods. Click here to donate or see information below
Displaying bravery and fortitude to save their own, villagers in a tiny Cumbrian community have told of the dramatic moment they formed a human chain to rescue several people trapped by rapidly rising floodwater.
Glenridding's 500 residents are used to a sleepy, laid-back existence, but the community was again forced to take drastic action last night after being hit by a second wave of destruction when a nearby river burst its banks.
It sent raging torrents filled with trees, rocks and other debris racing through the village - the sheer speed of which caught some people unawares.
Several villagers were trapped in the local shop, sparking a desperate rescue attempt by their neighbours.
Mark Hook, 57, who was himself saved on Saturday from the guest house he owns in the village, told MailOnline how residents immediately sprang into action.
He said: 'There were people [trapped] in the mini-mart so locals got together with the emergency services to help them out. At one point there was a human chain – it was quite dramatic. They wouldn’t have got out of there without help.
This picture was taken seconds after residents in Glenridding formed a human chain to rescue several people trapped by rapidly rising floodwater. Emergency rescuers arrived to help and after installing a rope were able to guide the rest of those stuck in the shop to safety
Earth movers attempt to stem the tide of flood water this morning as Glenridding is swamped by flash floods for the second time in a week

10 million people facing food shortages as drought grips Ethiopia
Drought still grips much of the productive agricultural land across eastern Australia thanks to the El Nino, but the same weather system is affecting millions of people around the world and it could have deadly ramifications, especially in Africa.
The purpose of this article is not to take away from Australians doing it tough, especially in western and northern parts of Queensland, where some of my family live.
Rather, it is to highlight the fact that drought affects people in many different ways.
The Ethiopian government is not particularly fond of pointing out flaws inside its own borders, so it is a big step for the country to admit that more than 10 million people will require food in the coming months.
That is 10 per cent of the population.
As always in slow burn natural disasters like this one. Women and children will be worst affected.
The charity Save the Children estimates that 5.75 million children will face critical food shortages.
"People are becoming very dependent on assistance from the government and humanitarian agencies," said Charlie Mason, humanitarian director for Save the Children in Ethiopia.
"The government has been extremely proactive and forward thinking in trying to future roof the food pipeline — but there is only so much food that can be procured on the international market and brought in — so aid agencies are also rushing to try to fill that gap."
The 'worst drought' in Ethiopia for 50 years
The famine that gripped Ethiopia during the mid-1980s is well known.
It is thought about 400,000 people lost their lives either through direct starvation, or abuses that occurred because of the country's then insurgency.
While the government is far better equipped to deal with the disaster now, there are warning signs that the current climatic situation is even worse.
"The worst drought in Ethiopia for 50 years is happening right now," said Save the Children's country director in Ethiopia, John Graham.
"The overall emergency response is estimated to cost $1.4 billion, so the world leaders meeting at the Paris climate talks this week must take the opportunity to wake up and act before it's too late."
Other agencies like the World Food Program are working to feed people as well.
It should be remembered that there are hundreds of thousands of refugees in Ethiopia, many from neighbouring South Sudan, where conflict has torn apart the youngest nation on earth.
Others come from Somalia and Eritrea, also neighbours and respectively home to and Islamist terrorists and an authoritarian government.
More than 125 million will need assistance to survive 2016: UN
Right across southern and eastern Africa, El Nino is responsible for a series of droughts.
For many, there are two rainy seasons a year and neither have delivered.
In South Africa, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Botswana and Somalia not enough rain has fallen to sustain the herds of cattle and goats that sustain so many people.
If people are forced to flee in an effort to find enough to eat the world will learn about food refugees.
"El Nino has led to central America's worst ever recorded drought and Ethiopia's worst drought in 30 years," said the United Nations under-secretary-general for Humanitarian Affairs, Stephen O'Brien.
"Natural disasters are also expected to worsen next year, linked to the El Nino climatic event which is estimated to be the strongest on record."
The United Nations estimates that across the globe more than 125 million people will need humanitarian assistance to survive 2016 — about 8 per cent are Ethiopians.
The government has asked for $US1.4 billion to feed its population, but the global figure is much higher.
"We need $US20.1 billion to do so," Mr O'Brien said.
"This amount is five times the level of funding we needed a decade ago and this is the largest appeal we have ever launched."
Floods in Congo capital kill at least 31 in three weeks
In this file November 10, 2008 photo, people displaced by fighting walk through the rain in a refugee camp at Kibati north of Goma in eastern Congo.
KINSHASA, Dec 8 (Reuters) - At least 31 people have died in Democratic Republic of Congo's capital Kinshasa in the last three weeks in the worst flooding in years, the provincial interior minister said on Tuesday, warning conditions could get even worse.
The deaths since Nov. 17, concentrated in neighbourhoods along the Congo River and its tributary, the Ndjili, have resulted mainly from home collapses, Emmanuel Akweti said.
The flooding has made 20,000 families homeless and inundated the main water collection station, preventing two-thirds of Kinshasa's communes from accessing drinkable water, he added.
An employee at the public water utility said officials hoped to resume service there by Thursday.
Kinshasa, a sprawling city of more than 10 million people, has notoriously poor infrastructure, with improvised wooden shacks lining the waterfront and dirt roads that often flood with the first rainfall.
Akweti said that precipitation levels this rainy season - which runs from October to April - were unusually high with Kinshasa registering 450 millimetres (18 inches) of rainfall, or nearly a third of its annual average, between Nov. 17 and Dec. 6 alone.
He warned that weather forecasters were predicting above average rainfall through to February and urged all residents living in riverside areas to evacuate.
Congo's government has invested considerably in Kinshasa's infrastructure in recent years, but critics complain that the upgrades have almost exclusively targeted the city's upscale neighbourhoods and prominent landmarks.
Bali, Dec 9: Earthquake of 6.9 magnitude struck Ambon islands located at 174 km away from the South-Eastern coast of mainland Indonesia. The tremors were first reported at 10:21 hours according to Universal Time Coordinated (UTC). The United States Geological Survey has also issued a Tsunami threat in the region.
Heavy tremors were felt in Ambon islands, whereas, the parts of Bali, Jakarta, Surabaya, Mendan and Jabung also felt the impact of quake. However, major loss to life or property is not reported since the quake struck 75 km below the surface of the Earth. But the major threat is posed to people residing in the coastal regions of the island country since the USGC has issued a Tsunami alert.
Due to tremors, and its impact on the tectonic plates, the chances of Tsunami exist.
On Monday, earthquake struck parts of Hindukush region with its impact in major parts of Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan and northern India. This marks the third instance of earthquake in the past one week.
PORTLAND, Ore. – Heavy rains turned streets in the Portland area into creeks, interrupted bus and light rail service and forced the evacuation of at least one neighborhood.
Monday's flooding caused the closure of numerous roads, and heavy rains triggered landslides.
The rain also caused Portland's sewer system to overflow into the Willamette River. Officials said people should avoid contact with the river for at least 48 hours because of bacteria in the water.
A big sinkhole developed in a street in Gresham, a Portland suburb. Crews were pumping water from an elementary school in Gresham, as well as cleaning up hallways and classrooms.
The parking lot at Multnomah Falls, a popular tourist stop in the Columbia River Gorge east of Portland, was closed after a creek overflowed its banks.
In Lake Oswego, just south of Portland, several cars were stranded in high water.
Residents were evacuated from a neighborhood in Clackamas County, and the American Red Cross was opening a shelter there.
Several school districts in northwest Oregon sent students home early and canceled afternoon and evening activities. The Oregon Zoo in Portland also closed.
The National Weather Service issued a flood watch for much of northwest Oregon and southwest Washington. It's in effect through Thursday afternoon, but rain likely won't stop until the week's end, forecasters said.
Excessive rainfall could lead to a rise in area rivers, weather officials said.
Officials say residents should avoid traveling and should watch for flash floods, mudslides, falling trees and power outages. They are also advised to keep children and pets away from floodwaters and avoid walking and driving through high water. Residents whose property is at risk for flooding should use sandbags.
The rains are caused by several low-pressure systems moving through the region, one after the other, forecasters said.
Severe flooding has been reported in parts of southern Norway after heavy rain brought by storm Synne between 04 and 06 December 2015. Maudal in Gjesdal, Rogaland saw just under 300 mm of rain in 3 days.
No injuries or deaths have been reported. However the flooding has caused some damage to roads, bridges and homes in Rogaland, Aust-Agder and Vest-Agder counties. Around 100 families had to be evacuated from their homes in Eigersund, Rogaland county. Norway’s state broadcaster, NRK, reports that around 30 farms have also been severely hit, suffering major damage.

The rain has now stopped but river levels remain high. Authorities in Sweden also report high river levels in western parts of Götaland and nothern part of Halland.
Parts of southern Norway saw flooding earlier this year after 97 mm of rain fell in Melsom during a 24 hour period between 01 and 02 September 2015.
Sweden saw severe flooding just a few months ago when 97 mm of rain fell in 24 hours between 05 and 06 September in Hjortkvarn, Örebro County.
Norway – Record Rainfall
178 mm of rain fell was recorded in Eik-Hove, Rogaland, and 175 mm in Bakke, Vest-Agder over a 2 day period, breaking previous records according to YR Norway, a weather service run by Meteorologisk institutt and state broadcaster NRK.
Figures below are from Norway’s Meteorologisk institutt for a 24 hour period:
05 December 2015
Eikemo, Hordaland – 178 mm Krittle, Hordaland- 101.3 mm
06 December 2015
Maudal, Rogaland – 140.5 mm Bakke, Vest-Agder – 110 mm Eik-Hove, Rogaland – 109.1mm

Heavy frost between Syria, Lebanon and Jordan touched the -10 ° C, several deaths among the fighters of ISIS
6 dicembre 2015
Strong frosts affecting Syria, Lebanon and the inside of Jordan, thermometers dropped to below -10 ° C
In recent days severe frosts, induced by intense inversions, have affected various locations inside and valleys of Syria, Lebanon and Jordan, where locally the mercury dropped to below -8 ° C -9 ° C.
A portion of the very cold polar continental extraction, which in recent days from the Ukraine, after crossing the Black Sea, reached the east of Turkey and Armenia has managed to spill over from the eastern Anatolian plateau , slipping to Syria, the west of Iraq, Lebanon and Jordan
Among the lowest minimum temperatures reached in the night between Saturday 5 and Sunday, December 6, 2015 stand out -8.8 ° C stored by the weather station of the airport of the Syrian capital Damascus.
hese intense frosts produced by high insolation and night with intense inversions that are developing within the valleys and canyons of Syria, Lebanon and Jordan, unfortunately, are also looming in the Syrian conflict
Only last night the bitter cold caused the death of several fighters against Al Nusra Front (group near Al Qaida) and militants fighting for the Islamic State, which is not placing the thermal suits and jackets have made up for the very low temperatures of the long night of Syria.
Suffice it to say that in Jordan's Queen Alia Airport has recorded a minimum temperature of no less than -7.5 ° C, while the minimum night Mafraq touched -7.0 ° C
Moving in neighboring Lebanon, however, stand out the -8.8 ° C Deir El Ahamar, representing a minimum temperature never before achieved within Lebanese territory.
