"We warned at the start of ZetaTalk, in 1995, that unpredictable 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 Arctic regions, with the violence of storms increasing in number and ferocity."

At least 4 dead and more still missing as devastating flash floods hit Arizona
Four people are confirmed dead and more remain missing after devastating flash floods hit Arizona.
A state of emergency was declared in the city of Globe, around 90 miles east of Phoenix, and officials said their primary objective was “search and rescue in the waterways” following severe rain on Friday that continued into the weekend.
Carl Melford, emergency manager in Gila County told KPHO that two of the deceased were found in a vehicle, and another in the floodwaters, though were not immediately identified by authorities.
A fourth was found Saturday morning by Scottsdale Fire Department near to a vehicle caught in floodwaters in suburban Phoenix. Officers said the vehicle had appeared empty after it was spotted Friday evening submerged in eight feet of water.
However, after water levels dropped overnight crews found a person pinned underneath a walkway bridge, the department told CBS.
“Historic Downtown Globe is currently unsafe, with compromised buildings as well as hazardous chemicals and debris, including propane tanks. For your safety, please stay out of the area until further notice,” a post from the city read Saturday.
“We do not need additional people in the flood zone. Extra traffic puts lives at risk and makes it harder for first responders to do their jobs.
“We understand the deep desire to help right now, our community always steps up.
But the best way to help at this time is to have patience and allow trained professionals the space to do what is needed.”
Carl Melford, the emergency manager at Gila County Division of Emergency Management, asked community members to help each other out, but also urged caution.
“For those that are able to check on your neighbors, help out your neighbors,” he said, per KTVK, though added: “If volunteers self-deploy into these flooded areas, it could throw off the cadaver dogs. It could cause more issues.
“So we know that people would love to help, but there’s, there’s other ways to help, such as, you know, helping out with providing drinks or food for the shelters or anything else like that, could be a tremendous help.”
Parts of the town and nearby roads including Highway 60 have been re-opened, though others including Broad Street remain closed to the public until all hazards have been cleared.
Red Cross shelters have been opened at High Desert and Lee Kornegay.
Globe’s Mayor, Al Gameros, thanked emergency crews for their “diligent” and ongoing work.
Gameros said that the city had been in touch with Arizona Governor Katie Hobb's Office, as well as Senator Mark Kelly and Congressman Eli Crane. “I urge everyone to be patient with the process as we continue operations.”

Dramatic landslides and destruction in the village of Chung Ha, Thanh Hoa province, Vietnam.
Twenty-six people died, 22 are missing as a result of floods and landslides in northern Vietnam. 135 thousand houses and 63 thousand hectares of agricultural land were damaged.
The Zetas had warned from the start of ZetaTalk that crop failure with resulting food shortages would strike as the hour of the pole shift approached. They pointed to the weather, with alternating drought and deluge and temperature swings, as the cause. Indeed, the weather has followed their predictions since 1995, with the Zeta prediction on crop shortages following in turn.
ZetaTalk Prediction 7/15/1995: Going into the cataclysms the weather will become unpredictable, with torrential rainstorms where not expected, and droughts likewise where not expected. Extremes of temperature will be experienced. Unusually warm winters, where the trees and shrubs will start to bud, thinking spring, and then be subjected to frost. Similarly, frosts will come late in the spring, almost into summer, killing the buds which have already put forth their tender shoots. Where today the world balances these situations, shipping produce around the world, during the years coming close to the time of the reappearance of Planet X all parts of the world will experience extremes.
Earlier it was possible to deny food shortages existed because grain stocks were maintained by many countries. In step with their 1995 prediction on crop failures because of weather irregularities, the Zetas also predicted that supplies would become depleted.
ZetaTalk Prediction 7/15/1995: At first, stores put up against such times will be tapped. After a bit, these stores will run down, and governments will get nervous. Helping handouts, from countries better off to those in desperation, will stop. Friction on these matters will fray at already frayed nerves.
A point to note in the March 27, 2008 article about rice shortages is the mention of supplies being depleted - "global rice stocks at their lowest." These and other grain stocks are essentially depleted now, so crop shortages can no longer be denied.

The Zetas have long predicted food shortages heading towards the Pole Shift.
ZetaTalk: Starvation
https://zetatalk.com/xtime/x03.htm
ZetaTalk’s predictions regarding food shortages and starvation in the lead-up to the Pole Shift are stark and deeply rooted in their broader narrative of global upheaval. Here's a breakdown of their key claims:
🌍 Pole Shift Context
ZetaTalk asserts that a dramatic Earth change event—triggered by the passage of Planet X (also called Nibiru)—will cause a Pole Shift, leading to massive geological, atmospheric, and societal disruption. This includes:
Worldwide crop failures due to erratic weather, volcanic ash, and reduced sunlight.
Collapse of supply chains and infrastructure, making food distribution nearly impossible.
Mass migration and social breakdown, further straining food access.
🌾 Food Shortage Predictions
According to ZetaTalk:
Starvation will be widespread: They claim that billions may face starvation as traditional agriculture collapses.
Food production will become hyper-local: Only those who can grow food in protected, self-sufficient environments will survive.
Livestock will die off: Due to lack of feed, disease, and environmental stress.
Fishing will be unreliable: Oceans will be turbulent and poisoned by volcanic ash and pollutants.
Stored food will be insufficient: Long-term survival requires ongoing food production, not just stockpiling.
🛠️ Survival Advice from ZetaTalk
They emphasize:
Hydroponics and indoor gardening: Especially in bunkers or protected areas.
Seed saving and heirloom crops: To ensure regenerative food sources.
Community self-sufficiency: Small, cooperative groups are more likely to survive than isolated individuals.
Avoid reliance on technology: They warn that electricity and fuel will be scarce.

Note: written prior to July 15, 1995. Nibiru, Planet X and the 12th Planet are one and the same.
Static electricity in the atmosphere will not increase during the giant comet's approach, nor afterwards, but during the passage lightning will seem to be almost constant in some places. Humans are familiar with arcing, where two poles or points are electrified, carrying an electric current, and suddenly the air between them is filled with a minor lightning bolt - zap. This is, of course, what causes lightning in the first place, an uneven distribution of electricity between natural conductors, between a buildup in the clouds and the water table below the Earth. What allows lightning to find its path? It is using a little understood path formed by sub-atomic particles, electrical waves of a sort, that have not been measured yet by Earth's human scientists. These emanate from any highly electrified field, and when they touch the arc is now possible.
The path between the Earth and its passing brother, the giant comet known as the 12 Planet, will be so electrified at points, and because the Earth's upper atmosphere will be in motion, bombarded by the comet's tail, static electricity accumulates. This would be devastating to the Earth if the static electricity had accumulated on the passing 12th Planet, a monster compared to the Earth, but the opposite is the case. The static electricity passes from the Earth to her brother and causes fantastic lightning displays in his upper atmosphere. As this planet is primarily a water planet, this seldom presents a danger to the inhabitants. This period when static electricity can pass is brief, a few hours, and occurs when the Earth's inhabitants are, essentially, fighting for their lives, so they barely take notice. How does a lightning bolt pass some 14 million miles across space? It doesn't, not in that form. In space, not having water vapor and other particles to interact with, there is no spontaneous release of light and heat, no flash and crackle, just the passage of electric particles in all the various sub-atomic components that comprise an electrical current.

Evacuees detail harrowing scenes of flooding in coastal Alaska villages as airlift continues
From the lone dry room where Alexie Stone and his brothers and children gathered, he could look outside and see under the water, like an aquarium. A shed drifted toward them, threatening to shatter the glass, but turned away before it hit.
The house came to rest just a few feet away from where it previously stood, after another building blocked its path. But it remains uninhabitable, along with most of the rest of Stone’s Alaska Native village of Kipnuk, following an immense storm surge that flooded coastal parts of western Alaska, left one person dead and two missing, and prompted a huge evacuation effort to airlift more than 1,000 residents to safety.
“In our village, we’d say that we’re Native strong, we have Native pride, and nothing can break us down. But this is the hardest that we went through,” Stone said Thursday outside the Alaska Airlines Center, an arena in Anchorage, where he and hundreds of others were being sheltered. “Everybody’s taking care of everybody in there. We’re all thankful that we’re all alive.”

A week after Mexico’s floods, the death toll is at 72 and dozens remain missing
Mudslides and damaged bridges have left several regions isolated, particularly in the state of Hidalgo northeast of Mexico City and in the Gulf Coast state of Veracruz. Infrastructure, Communications and Transportation Minister Jesús Esteva said 127 towns remain virtually inaccessible as of Thursday night.
The post-flood actions in Veracruz have reached the protest stage, with those accused of an inadequate response including Gov. Rocío Nahle and, in the case seen here, authorities of the Veracruz University, where some students are said to be among the missing. (Yerania Roló/Cuasrtoscuro.com)
Esteva said his ministry is documenting and mapping the damage to facilitate rescue and recovery operations, while more than 8,000 soldiers are working in the affected areas to search for the missing and remove debris.
The Defense Ministry has been operating around the clock, tasking 21 helicopters with deliveries and medical supplies, especially to isolated regions of Hidalgo and Veracruz.
Esteva said the government is working with some urgency as the weekend weather forecast indicates a cold front will be moving in, bringing with it heavy rain, though the storms are projected to be south of the areas affected by last week’s flooding.
Veracruz, the state hardest hit by the flooding, has reported 32 fatalities with 14 residents counted as missing, followed by Hidalgo (21 dead) and Puebla (18).
Veracruz Governor Rocío Nahle is facing growing criticism for her handling of the disaster. On Thursday, she insisted that the state Civil Protection agency did issue an early alarm and thousands were evacuated, “although some residents preferred to remain in their homes.”
Some residents insist no such alarm sounded.
While on Friday Nahle said her administration would work to make sure all families affected by the disaster are safe and secure, one columnist pointed out that the governor canceled the state’s natural disaster insurance policy.
Near Poza Rica, Veracruz, where thousands are without shelter and fetid water remains ankle deep, residents in the area are voicing concern about the potential spread of typhoid fever and cholera.
In Puebla, government officials are working to find accommodations for more than 200 people who lost everything in the flooding. Although nearly 2,000 people have left state-run shelters in hopes of salvaging their homes and property, dozens of families face an uncertain future.
The newspaper Milenio reported that the state is preparing to close down the shelters, but more than 200 people who lost everything — primarily campesinos — say they have nowhere to go.
“We are just simple farmers. We have no wages, no other means of support except whatever help the government might provide,” said Jesús Hernández, a resident of Colonia Los Manguitos who was in a shelter in the municipality of Xicotepec with his wife and several grandchildren.
North of the impacted areas in the state of Tamaulipas, residents of Tampico and Ciudad Madero along the Gulf Coast are taking precautions as the Pánuco River has reached critical levels.
The National Water Commission (Conagua) has sought to assuage concerns, reporting late Thursday that flood stage would not be reached for another 80 hours, and only if conditions worsen. For now, Conagua said, the forecast is not cause for alarm.
Even so, the state Water Resources Ministry has ordered Civil Protection agents to take preventive measures in low-lying areas of the adjacent municipalities.

Heavy rain, high tide cause worsening floods in Perak
TAIPING: The main cause of flooding in the affected areas of Perak is the continuous heavy rainfall combined with the high tide.
State Infrastructure, Energy, Water and Public Transport Committee chairman Datuk Seri Mohammad Nizar Jamaluddin said the existing drainage and irrigation systems could no longer accommodate the runoff, resulting in overflow.
"Hydrological data from the affected areas recorded a significant and continuous increase in rainfall over an extended period, with total rainfall exceeding 50mm.
"The rainfall recorded at several stations in the districts of Larut, Matang and Selama, and Kerian equalled or exceeded the average monthly rainfall for October — particularly at the Pondok Tanjung Station (244.5mm), Bukit Larut (136mm), and Sungai Kurau Batu 14 (174mm).
"The heavy and prolonged downpour that afternoon, coinciding with the high tide phenomenon, further worsened the situation in the districts of Kerian; Larut, Matang and Selama; as well as Manjung," he said.
He said that to reduce the risk and impact on residents in the affected districts, the Department of Irrigation and Drainage deployed two boats to assist in the rescue of flood victims.
"Continuous and periodic monitoring of flood-affected areas is being carried out, along with the immediate activation and installation of mobile pumps to reduce stagnant water in low-lying areas," he said.
He added that the state government also urged all parties, including local authorities and the local community, to work together to ensure that drainage systems remain clean and free from blockages caused by garbage or waste materials.
Meanwhile, Nizar said the release of water from the Bukit Merah Dam was necessary to maintain the dam's structural integrity and ensure public safety following continuous heavy rainfall since Wednesday.
He said prolonged downpours in the dam's upper catchment areas had caused a sharp rise in water levels.
"This prompted the Department of Irrigation and Drainage to initiate controlled water discharge in accordance with the dam's Standard Operating Procedure and Emergency Action Plan.
"Between 6pm and 9pm yesterday, the inflow rate surged from 61.8 cubic metres per second to 200 cubic metres per second, and remained high until the next morning.
"The dam's water level also rose from 28.65ft— the normal level — to 30.0ft, which is at the danger mark," he said in a statement today.
Nizar said the release was a necessary preventive measure to stabilise the dam after the inflow rate into the Bukit Merah reservoir became excessively high within a short period.
"The step was crucial to ensure the dam remains safe and continues to function optimally.
"It was carried out in line with standard procedures after taking into account both the inflow rate and dam safety factors," he added.
He said the state government would continue to monitor the downstream effects of the release and coordinate with the Kerian District Disaster Management Committee should there be any risk of flooding.
"The public is advised to stay alert and follow instructions from the authorities as the situation develops," he said.

ZetaTalk: Malaysia
Malaysia stands in the path of rushing water, which will drown even the mainland country of Thailand during the pole shift. Several factors will create a rush of water over the Malaysian peninsula. When the crust of the Earth stops its slide and the plates begin to slam into each other, the Pacific will shorten, and the India/Australia plate will subduct violently into the Himalayas. As this occurs, there will be a drop in sea level over India, the waters about India rushing in to fill the gap. Likewise, the Pacific will compress, so the sea level there is relatively higher, and as water seeks an even level this water will rush into the gap over the hapless and drowning India. The Malaysian peninsula stands in the path of this rush, and once water begins to move, it creates its own force, such that there is a press of water moving in the direction of India, and this pressure will be great enough to create tidal bore that will go up and over any mountains in its path. Malaysia, and other countries in the path of this flood, will utterly drown. Malaysia is riding on the tongue of the Eurasian Plate and will suffer when plate movements occur prior to the pole shift. The Malaysia peninsula is lowland, and any reduction in sea level is devastating.

Tropical Storm Melissa expected to explode into a Category 4 hurricane and could bring catastrophic impact to Jamaica
Tropical Storm Melissa is forecast to rapidly intensify into a major hurricane this weekend as it lashes Jamaica and parts of the northern Caribbean, bringing days of life-threatening, potentially catastrophic impact.
Jamaica looks to be the epicenter for the worst of Melissa’s triple threat of extreme rainfall flooding, wind damage and storm surge. Melissa could make landfall on Jamaica late Monday or early Tuesday. Haiti also continues to be in thick of Melissa’s destructive flood and landslide threats.
A hurricane warning is effect for Jamaica, where strong winds are expected to begin tonight. Southern Haiti is under a hurricane watch.
Melissa has been moving at a snail’s pace for days and it won’t pick up speed anytime soon as it tracks generally westward through Sunday night. The storm is centered 165 miles southeast of Kingston, Jamaica, and is packing winds up to 70 mph as of Saturday morning.
That slow movement has already caused problems. Torrential rain bands have swamped Haiti and the Dominican Republic for much of the week, causing flooding and triggering landslides. At least three deaths have been reported in Haiti due to the storm, two of which were the result of a landslide, the Haitian Civil Protection Agency said in a statement. In the Dominican Republic, at least one person has died and more than 1,000 people have evacuated or been displaced, officials said Friday.
This explosive strengthening is happening more often as the world warms due to fossil fuel pollution. Three of the four Atlantic hurricanes this season underwent extreme rapid intensification: Erin, Gabrielle and Humberto.
Melissa’s extreme threats
Jamaica, Haiti and the southern Dominican Republic will face the worst of the storm into at least early next week. Next in line for strong winds, storm surge and flooding rain will be eastern Cuba, the southern Bahamas and Turks and Caicos.
“Extensive damage to roads and buildings is expected, potentially isolating communities for an extended period of time,” in Haiti on Saturday, the hurricane center warned. “This is a life-threatening situation and immediate preparations to protect life and property should be taken.”
Jamaica will not only endure Melissa’s torrential rain, but will also have to contend with days of ferocious winds. The nation of nearly 3 million people will likely see hurricane-force winds by Sunday or Monday. The most extreme winds will likely occur as Melissa tracks near Jamaica on Monday into Tuesday. Downed trees, power outages and structural damage could be widespread.
Officials in the country are already preparing for the worst. All public hospitals have been in “emergency mode” since Thursday evening, halting outpatient and elective procedures to ensure more beds are open, according to Christopher Tufton, Jamaica’s Minister of Health and Wellness.
Jamaica’s airports remain open for now, but will likely close within 24 hours of a hurricane warning being issued, according to Daryl Vaz, Minister of Science, Energy, Telecommunications and Transport.
Jamaican Prime Minister Andrew Holness urged people to take the threat seriously at a Friday news conference: “You have been given enough notice that (Melissa) is coming and that it could be disastrous, so take all measures to protect yourself.”
The United States mainland is not expected to be directly threatened by Melissa. Even so, rough surf and rip currents could spread along the US East Coast next week.
Why Melissa’s forecast is so alarming
Hurricane Beryl in July 2024 was the last storm to heavily impact Jamaica. It did not make landfall, but still lashed the island with flooding rain and strong winds as it passed to the south as a Category 4.
CNN Meteorologists Briana Waxman and Mary Gilbert contributed to this report.

Hurricane Melissa strengthens to a Category 5 storm, heads for Jamaica
Melissa was centered about 135 miles south-southwest of Kingston, Jamaica, according to the latest update from the National Hurricane Center. The storm had maximum sustained winds of 160 mph and was moving at a slow 3 mph.
The storm was expected to make landfall in Jamaica early this week before approaching Cuba and the Bahamas. Forecasters anticipate Melissa will enter the Atlantic, but avoid a direct hit along the eastern coast of the United States.
"Preparations to protect life and property should be complete in Jamaica and rushed to completion in Cuba," the hurricane center said in a forecast outlook.
Jamaica and Hispaniola could see upwards of 30 inches of rain, forecasters said, warning of mudslides and "life-threatening flash flooding." Peak storm surge could reach 9 to 13 feet above ground level, and will be accompanied by destructive waves.
Through the midweek, eastern Cuba could see up to 20 inches of rain, as 9-foot waves crash along the coast.
In Jamaica, tourists evacuated as officials moved to close the nation's airports and open over 800 shelters ahead of the storm's arrival.
Melissa is the latest major hurricane to form in Atlantic Basin
Melissa is the fifth hurricane of the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season and the latest to reach major hurricane status, joining Erin, Gabrielle, Humberto and Imelda. The only system to make landfall along the eastern U.S. coast this season was Tropical Storm Chantal in July.
The peak of the Atlantic hurricane season is Sept. 10, with most activity occurring between mid-August and mid-October, according to the National Hurricane Center. But while activity typically diminishes in November, there still remains a threat of storms in the Atlantic and the Gulf.

At least three dead as typhoon causes devastation in the Philippines
At least three people have been killed and hundreds of thousands have been forced to flee their homes as a typhoon ripped through the central Philippines, the country's disaster agency said.
Typhoon Kalmaegi has flooded large areas, including entire towns on the island of Cebu.
Videos show people sheltering on rooftops, while cars and shipping containers have been swept through the streets.
A military helicopter deployed to assist relief efforts crashed in northern Mindanao island, the Philippine Air Force (PAF) said. It is not yet clear if there were any survivors of the crash.
It is forecast to move across the Visayas islands region and out over the South China Sea by Wednesday.
"The situation in Cebu is really unprecedented," provincial governor Pamela Baricuatro said in a Facebook post.
"We were expecting the winds to be the dangerous part, but... the water is what's truly putting our people at risk," she said.
"The floodwaters are just devastating."
Don del Rosario, 28, was among those in Cebu City who sought refuge on an upper floor as the storm raged.
"I've been here for 28 years, and this is by far the worst we've experienced," he told the AFP news agency.
In a statement, the PAF said a rescue helicopter went down near Agusan del Sur on Mindanao island.
"Communication with the helicopter was lost, which immediately prompted the launch of a search and rescue operation," it said, adding that further details will be released "as they become verified".
In total, almost 400,000 people were moved from the typhoon's path, Rafaelito Alejandro, deputy administrator at the Office of Civil Defence, told a news conference.
The latest comes barely a month after back-to-back typhoons killed over a dozen people and wrought damage to infrastructure and crops.
Super Typhoon Ragasa, known locally as Nando, struck in late September, followed swiftly by Typhoon Bualoi, known locally as Opong.
In the months before, an extraordinarily wet monsoon season caused widespread flooding, sparking anger and protests over unfinished and sub-standard flood control systems that have been blamed on corruption.
On 30 September, dozens were killed and injured after a powerful 6.9 magnitude earthquake struck the central Philippines, with Cebu bearing the brunt of the damage.

Floodwaters in Cebu city reach ‘up to heads of people’ as typhoon dumps month’s worth of rain in less than 24 hours
Rescue teams raced to reach people stranded in central Philippines after Typhoon Kalmaegi barreled through overnight, causing flooding across multiple provinces, leaving at least two people dead and many trapped on rooftops.
Locally referred to as Tino, the typhoon made landfall around midnight in Silago in the eastern province of Southern Leyte, with sustained winds of up to 140kmph and gusts of up to 195kmph.
Kalmaegi is the 20th tropical cyclone of the year to strike one of the world's most disaster-prone countries, which is frequently battered by volcanic eruptions and earthquakes as well.
The latest storm dropped a month’s worth of rain in two areas of Visayas, one of the country’s three main island groups, in under 24 hours, according to weather bureau PAGASA.
