"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.
You could be forgiven for thinking these photos had been taken six months apart. In fact, just seven days after Carolyn Bointon made her way across a snow-covered Alsop Moor in a scarf and woollen hat, she enjoyed a stroll across the same Peak District beauty spot in T-shirt and shorts. And she may well be cheered to hear that the warm weather – expected to hit 26C (79F) in the South tomorrow, beating the Mediterranean – is set to continue. But if this week’s sun-kissed lunch breaks have had you planning a weekend barbecue, you may also want to keep an umbrella to hand. The Met Office has issued warnings for torrential downpours, thunder and even hail across the UK today.
Storms will first rumble in South-West England and Wales before spreading east and northwards. Sunbathers are also warned to be on high alert for 20mm-wide hailstones predicted to pepper the country. However, any clouds are set to part by tomorrow, meaning Sunday will see blue skies and temperatures of well above the typical temperature for May of 16C (61F). Met Office meteorologist Alex Burkill said that despite the warm weather, patches of extreme rain could be ‘quite intense’. ‘The temperatures are well above average for this time of year but the warm and humid air will mean that any showers that do develop are likely to become torrential downpours,’ he added.
Wildfire destroys Fort McMurray homes, most of city evacuated
Thousands of people are fleeing Fort McMurray as wildfire leaps highway and into city
RAW: Video of Fort McMurray fire from a helicopter 0:59
A huge wildfire raging in Fort McMurray, Alta., has burned homes in some neighbourhoods and residents fleeing the fire have caused gridlock on Highway 63 leading south out of the city.
Robin Smith, a spokesman for the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo, confirmed to CBC News that homes in Beacon Hill and the Centennial Trailer Park have been destroyed.
The fire is now threatening Abasand and Grayling Terrace.
The municipality said the fire breached Highway 63 at the MacKenzie Boulevard intersection south of the city.
The lower townsite and downtown area, now including MacDonald Island Park, and 10 neighbourhoods in the oilsands city have been placed under mandatory evacuation orders because of the fire.
That's forced 29,000 out of their homes making it the largest evacuation from wildfire in the province's history, surpassing the Slave Lake firefive years ago.
The Abasand, Beacon Hill, Dickensfield, Grayling Terrace, Wood Buffalo, Thickwood, Waterways, Saline Creek, Draper and Gregoire neighbourhoods are under mandatory evacuation notices and residents have been ordered to leave their homes.
Most residents were being urged to go to Noralta Lodge 20 km north of Fort McMurray, but with the Noralta filling up, newcomers are being sent on the Gray Wolf Lodge.
Gregoire residents are being asked to go to the Anzac Recreation Centre, south of Fort McMurray.
The province has closed Highway 63 and Highway 881 to Fort McMurray to all non-essential travel.
'It's probably all blown away now'
The fire had barely hit the Centennial Trailer Park before John Davidson and his girlfriend Joanne Bates had lost everything.
"It was the second one to go," said Davidson. "It's probably all blown away now."
Behind him, the flames consumed what was left of the trailer park where his former home sat.
Smoke fills the air as cars line up on Highway 63, which has been breached at the MacKenzie Boulevard intersection south of the city.
Davidson and Bates had lived there for more than a year and had everything, including vehicles and two snowmobiles there.
"Everything I worked for for the last two years, it's all gone," said Davidson.
While the two commend the RCMP and the fire department, they are upset that they weren't able to get into the trailer park to get their belongings.
"It's a disaster," said Bates. "I think it's not fair. They didn't even let us take our things, so we lost everything."
A major sandstorm has swept through China's Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region and Qinghai Province, causing severe air pollution.
On Sunday, high winds whipped up the sandstorm in Xinjiang's Aksu Prefecture, dropping visibility to less than 900 meters.
The sandstorm has also disrupted road traffic and caused flight cancellations and delays.
In Korla County, the storm significantly slowed down traffic and caused residents to suffer breathing difficulties.
The local meteorological department said that the sandstorm is expected to last through Monday.
Another sandstorm coupled with winds of up to 70 kilometers per hour also hit Golmud County in Haixi Mongol and Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture of Qinghai Province, disrupting traffic in several streets.
Local forecasters said that sandstorms and high winds are expected in multiple districts of the prefecture within the next 12 hours.
In recent years, China has seen extremely high levels of air pollution particularly in the northeast, the industrial heartland of the country.
Scientific studies attribute 1.4 million premature deaths per year to China's smog, or almost 4,000 per day.
Quake dries up centuries-old Kumamoto water source

MINAMI-ASO, Kumamoto Prefecture--For hundreds of years, the sacred Shioisha spring here has provided water for drinking and irrigation in this village in the shadow of Mount Aso.
But the fountainhead, which gushed about five tons of spring water a minute, has dried up since the magnitude-7.3 earthquake struck the prefecture early on April 16. Its disappearance has local residents baffled.
“I was absolutely flabbergasted to hear that Shioisha spring has dried up. It turns my world upside down,” said 95-year-old Natsuko Goto, who was taking shelter at an elementary school after the earthquake. “What will happen now?”
Shioisha spring is located on the premises of Shioijinja shrine.
According to Sachio Hirose, the 63-year-old parish representative, there are many fountainhead springs in Minami-Aso, which has been dubbed “the village where water is born.” However, Shioisha spring is the one that has been worshipped by local residents as the sacred spring where the "god of water" dwells.
Its abundant waters have been a blessing for local rice farmers.
Every year, the planting of rice seedlings starts at the beginning of May in Minami-Aso, but at the moment, there is no water to irrigate the rice paddies, casting a dark shadow over the village and its agricultural production.
“The headspring had been gushing water out for the past centuries and sustaining people’s livelihoods,” Hirose said. “I can’t believe this is happening in my lifetime.”
Saturday, April 30, 2016, 8:04 AM - Road washouts are a common threat of extreme weather, but most people don't witness one while it's actually happening.
A Facebook user whose profile is titled Allen N Laneigh Childers managed to catch one on camera on Friday, and we must say, we didn't expect it to be so ... slow-motion. At first, you can barely tell the road surface is moving, until the process accelerates and the two large storm drain pipes are simply tipped upwards and brushed aside by the strength of the floodwaters.
"Just experienced this," Childers wrote when the video was posted to Facebook. "When someone says do not drive across a flooded road keep this in mind."
The video was shot in Lindale, in the northeast of Texas, which has been wracked by damaging weather this past week. The Dallas Morning News reports several people were injured in Lindale, where a possible tornado was reported.
Across Texas and Arkansas, Friday's storms caused torrential rains of several inches and damaging winds, as well as a handful of suspected tornadoes in Texas and Oklahoma, according to the U.S. Storm Prediction Center.
Hail larger than the size of golf balls was also reported across the region.
The Weather Channel reports water rescues are underway in parts of Texas and Arkansas as high waters linger from the torrential rains.
Another round of severe weather is in store for the same area of the U.S. Saturday, with flash flood and severe thunderstorm watches or warnings widespread from Texas and Oklahoma to Arkansas and Mississippi, including almost all of Louisiana.

Photos Show Indians Scrambling For Resources Amid Deadly Drought And Heat Wave
Temperatures topped 100 — unusual for this time of year — and rainfall has been scant.
Millions of people in India are sweltering amid a scorching early season heatwave and a brutal drought.
India is experiencing severe water shortages after at least two consecutive years of inadequate rainfall, its government said. At the same time, states in central, eastern and southern India have recorded unusually high temperatures this month, topping 100 degrees.
Temperatures that hot normally occur later in the year, state meteorologist Y.K. Reddy told The Associated Press. The country usually experiences high temperatures just before the monsoon season starts in early June, AP added.
Water in the country’s major reservoirs was at 23 percent of total storage capacity earlier this month, according to the Times of India.
Some 330 million people, or one-quarter of the Indian population, are suffering from consequences of the drought, the government said last week.
Tens of thousands of people have migrated from rural to urban areas in search of better access to water, food and jobs. Many of those migrants have left behind women, children and the elderly to fend for themselves, Reuters reported.
Schools were shut in some regions, and Indian Premier League cricket matches were ordered to move from western Maharashtra state due to concerns that water would be wasted in maintaining grounds, AFP reported.

Water availability in the country’s major reservoirs was at 23 percent of total storage capacity. A dog drinks water from a puddle next to cracked soil at the dried-up Manjara dam in Osmanabad, India.
India’s notorious pre-monsoon heat waves have killed scores of people in the past — 22,562 people have died as a result of them since 1992 — and this year’s water shortages have exacerbated the heat. At least 160 people have died as a result of this year’s heat.
Last week, a 12-year-old girl in Beed, a village in Maharashtra state, died after suffering a heat stroke and dehydration as temperatures soared to about 107, according to The Indian Express.
The Indian government had dispatched trains carrying water to some areas, but many people say these measures have been insufficient. A group of over 100 activists and public figures penned an open letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday, calling the government’s drought response “sadly listless” and “lacking in both urgency and compassion.”
Meteorologists say rainfall may be normal during this year’s monsoon season, projected to start in June, due to weakened effects of the El Nino weather phenomenon.
Take a look at photos, taken in April, that show how Indians are coping with the heat and drought.

Snow and sleet has fallen in many parts of the UK as temperatures struggle to get into double figures with the prospect of a Spring-like May a long way off.
Despite the time of year, forecasters are warning the unsettled picture will continue for much of the week with freezing conditions in many parts.
Thunder, lightning and sleet showers are expected with some in northern areas witnessing heavy snowfall, including on the North Yorkshire Moors and parts of Scotland.
The blizzard seen all over the UK were reminiscent of the bizarre scenes on the very same day 35 years ago, when snowstorms hit the British spring.
Cars were buried on the roads as the nation was blanketed in a thick layer of snow on April 26 1981, which saw the worst blizzards for that time of year in a century.

Iran city hits suffocating heat index of 165 degrees, near world record
Wherever you live or happen to travel to, never complain about the heat and humidity again.
In the city of Bandar Mahshahr (population of about 110,000 as of 2010), the air felt like a searing 165 degrees (74 Celsius) today factoring in the humidity.
Although there are no official records of heat indices, this is second highest level we have ever seen reported.
To achieve today’s astronomical heat index level of 165, Bandar Mahshahr’s actual air temperature registered 115 degrees (46 Celsius) with an astonishing dew point temperature of 90 (32 Celsius).

This 165 reading, recorded at 4:30 p.m. local time Friday, comes one day after the heat index soared to 159 degrees (70 Celsius) in the same location.
Bandar Mahshahr sits adjacent to the Persian Gulf in southwest Iran where water temperatures are in the 90s. Such high temperatures lead to some of the most oppressive humidity levels in the world when winds blow off the sweltry water.

In southeast Iran, also along the Persian Gulf, Jask, Iran observed a heat index of 156 degrees (69 Celsius) on Friday (air temperature 102.2 degrees with a dew point of 91.4 degrees).
Although there are no official records, 178 degrees (81 Celsius) is the highest known heat index ever attained. It was observed in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia on July 8, 2003. In his book Extreme Weather, weather historian Christopher Burt says Dhahran, also on the Persian Gulf, registered an air temperature of 108 degrees (42 Celsius) and a dew point of 95 (35 Celsius), which computes to such an extreme heat index level.
This week’s extreme heat index values have occurred as a punishing heat wave has engulfed the Middle East.
On Thursday, Baghdad soared to 122 degrees (50C) – though its dew point was a lowly 44 (7 Celsius) given its desert environs. That combination produced a heat index of 115 – the dry air taking a slight edge off the blistering temperatures.
Some of the hottest places on Earth
It feels like it couldn’t be any hotter than it is in D.C., but believe it or not, there are worse places to be.
A massive high pressure ridge or “heat dome” responsible for the excessive heat doesn’t look to budge for several days, at least.

Bad weather in Rio de Janeiro,BRASIL bike path built for the Olympics collapses at sea: 2 dead [PHOTOS]
Rio de Janeiro, bike path collapses due to bad weather: at least 2 dead, the dramatic images
Two people died this morning, in Rio de Janeiro, following the collapse of part of a new cycle track of about 4 km inaugurated last January and built along the coast with cliffs in the ocean.
According to firefighters, after the collapse of the track they ended up in the sea four riders, two of them rescued lifeless. The accident 'occurred at the height of the Sao Conrado district, in the southern area of the city. The landslide covered about 50 meters of track, causing a huge crater in the cliffs and the ocean.
Yet unknown cause, although eyewitnesses claim that the sea is particularly rough he dealt the final blow to an already 'precarious structure.
The bike lane Tim Maia, on Avenida Niemeyer, is located a few hundred meters away from House Italy, the site chosen by the Italian athletes in the Olympics at the start on August 5th.
The inauguration of the track, The ribbon cutting was made on 17 January by the mayor of Rio, Eduardo Paes, himself, who on this occasion had called "the bike lane most 'beautiful in the world."
