"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.
There is already talk of a "Black Monday"! The strong storm (943 hPa) currently hollow in the North Atlantic will send the wrong time and gigantic waves on the French coast.
With an estimated 15 meters to swell, winds of 120 to 140 km / h gusts, large tidal coefficients (100/103 90/95 Monday and Tuesday) and a consequent period (18 seconds), the entire Atlantic coast is about to go on alert on Sunday submersion. The peak of the swell will be reached Monday. With a violent west wind, most large spots will be on shore and the "shippers" will probably fall back elsewhere.

We recommend to all surfers as spectators, the greatest caution with the arrival of this phenomenon. Avoid walking by the sea!

Cold weather brings rare snowfalls to tropical Laos
Snow has been reported across forested upland areas in northern Laos as the extreme cold snap and associated precipitation persisting across much of Indochinese Peninsula since Sunday begins to ease, China's Xinhua news agency reported.
Temperatures in the low single digits Celsius during the day and around zero degrees or below at night since Sunday were accompanied by snow across elevated areas of the country's northern provinces.
The cold snap led to a temporary three-day suspension of domestic flights by the national carrier Lao Airlines between the capital Vientiane and the airport servicing the province of Oudoumxay while flights to other affected provincial centres faced delays, state-run media Vientiane Times reported.
In the province of Phongsaly, three-day extended leave was provided to public servants except police and defence personnel until Wednesday to help minimise the risks to life from unnecessary travel.
Public schools across the country already closed for a week long break awaiting a decision on whether to reopen on schedule Monday depending on the weather.
The scope of the socio-economic impact of the cold snap upon the least developed country of some six and a half million remains as yet unknown, with livestock and poultry deaths in the affected areas continuing to be reported to the authorities.
Meanwhile, images of the rare sprinkling of white have been shared by locals and visitors alike on social media.
Snow was also recorded at popular tourist destination Nam Et-Phou Louey National Park, a 4,229sqkm nature reserve incorporating parts of the provinces of Luang Prabang, Huaphan and Xiengkhouan boasting a peak elevation of 2,257m above sea level.
Images of white-dusted tropical foliage were shared on the website of the park and its award-winning Night Safari, an ethical tourism venture that provides visitors with views of the area's rare and endangered fauna while sustaining local employment. – Bernama, January 28, 2016.
California is battered by winds as high as 115mph: At least one person is killed and thousands are left without electricity as powerful storm prompts warnings of flash floods and mudslides
One person was killed after a tree fell on three parked cars and a fourth car that was passing by during the storm
Power outages affecting about 140,000 utility customers were reported across the Los Angeles and San Diego area
Gusts along Interstate 5 knocked down trees and power lines, and a flash flood watch was issued
Some areas may experience mudslides and strong winds may cause flight delays at Los Angeles International Airport, officials warned
Heavy rain brought traffic to a near-standstill on LA freeways and forecasters said tornadoes were possible
A motorist was fatally struck by a tree that was knocked by powerful winds as a winter storm hits California, bringing downpours, wind and snow, authorities said Sunday.
The driver was passing by a residential street in Pacific Beach when a large oak tree fell across a roadway, blocking all four traffic lanes, San Diego Fire and Rescue Capt. Joe Amador said.
The tree, which measured eight feet in diameter, also crushed three parked cars that were not occupied, he said.
"To the people out here dealing with the rain: be careful, drive slowly and arrive alive," Amador said.
Strong winds downed dozens of trees and power poles and ripped off rooftops - and in one case, solar panels - across Southern California.
Power outages affecting about 140,000 utility customers were reported across the Los Angeles and San Diego area.
Wind gusts topped 50 mph in the San Diego area and 65 mph in Malibu, according to the National Weather Service. The highest reading of the day was at Whitaker Peak, north of Castaic, where a gust was recorded at 115 mph.
The storm also dropped up to an inch of rain in some places by 4 p.m. Sunday, and forecasters said up to 2 inches of rain was expected in the valleys of Los Angeles County and as many as 3 inches possible for southwest-facing foothills and mountains.
A flash flood watch was issued for foothill neighborhoods underneath wildfire burn areas, triggering fears of possible mudslides and debris flows.
Blinding rain briefly brought traffic to a near-standstill on LA freeways. North of the city, a crash during a heavy downpour involving two trucks closed southbound lanes of Interstate 5 near the Grapevine. There were no immediate reports of injuries.
The storm also churned up high surf along west and northwest-facing beaches. The rough seas prompted authorities to close the piers at Redondo Beach and Manhattan Beach.
To the north, Interstate 80 near Truckee was closed for more than two hours after 29 vehicles got into a pileup amid snowy conditions, KCRA-TV reported.
Another rain storm was expected in the San Francisco Bay Area by Sunday evening. A wind advisory was issued warning of winds gusting up to 50 mph.
Strong winds are expected to cause flight problems at Los Angeles International Airport, and forecasters said waterspouts and weak tornadoes are possible.
'The winds may well turn out to be the defining feature of this system,' the National Weather Service said Sunday.
Firefighters rescued a man trapped by the fast-rising Los Angeles River as the system moved in and dumped up to 0.75 inches of rain by mid-morning.
The man was uninjured after being pulled to safety along the riverbank area east of downtown known for homeless encampments.
Up to two inches of rain was expected in the valleys of Los Angeles County and as many as three inches possible for southwest-facing foothills and mountains, according to the National Weather Service.
Another rain storm is expected in the San Francisco Bay Area by Sunday evening.
Storms usually develop far from California, but this one developed unusually close, just 500 miles west of Santa Barbara, according to Daniel Swain, a Stanford University climate scientist.
The relatively swift development of the system 'is somewhat unusual, though it tends to be more common during strong El Niño years when a strong jet stream resides over or just south of Southern California,' Swain wrote in a blog post.

State of emergency declared in 446 municipalities
Residents in many parts of Mexico might decide to remain in their homes for this long weekend as heavy rains, strong winds, some snow and cold temperatures are forecast for many regions.
In fact, the national Civil Protection office has declared an “extraordinary emergency” in 446 municipalities in 23 states, brought on by cold front No. 34 and the eighth winter storm of the season.
The declaration will make resources available for the emergency supply of food and blankets to an estimated half a million people from Chihuahua in the north to Chiapas in the south.
The cold front´s mass of polar air is covering much of the country, guaranteeing cold to very cold weather for the weekend. Sleet or wet snow are forecast for areas 3,500 meters above sea level in the State of México, Tlaxcala, Puebla, Hidalgo and Veracruz and winds gusting to 70 km/h in the Isthmus of Tehuantepec.
Mountain regions of Chihuahua, Durango, Zacatecas and Nuevo León can expect temperatures to plunge lower than -5 C.
The weather in both Mexico and California has been having adverse effects on fresh produce supplies in the U.S. and Canada. The second-largest food retailer in Canada said last week there would be shortages for three weeks due in part to weather conditions.
Sobey´s said it is struggling to deal with the worst situation in 30 years.
One of the coldest places in Mexico this week was La Rosilla, a community in the Durango municipality of Guaneceví. The temperature dropped two days ago to -17 C.
In Nuevo León, meanwhile, the roofs of many homes in the community of Galeana, located in the south of the state, collapsed under the weight of the heaviest snowfall in 20 years.
Deadly cold snap - Nearly 8000 animals die in Vietnam
Normally the temperatures are in Vietnam this time of year about 15-25 degrees. A cold wave makes in recent days a temperature shock. Thousands of animals die.
At a cold snap in Vietnam nearly 8,000 animals froze to death. The temperatures dropped in the six northern provinces partly below freezing and thus as deeply as in 39 years no longer, reported the National Meteorological Service. The Vietnamese Argarbehörde reported, at least 7,800 cattle, goats, pigs and horses were found dead in the pastures. 11,000 hectares of rice and vegetable fields were damaged. Normally, temperatures in northern Vietnam not sink below ten degrees at this time.
The cold wave moved from China starting all over North and South East Asia. In Thailand earlier this week at least 14 people died. She suffered fatal respiratory disease at temperatures of less than five degrees. In the subtropical southern Japan the islanders Amami experienced on Sunday the first snowfall since 115 years.
El Nino blamed for Durban's worst drought in living memory: Emergency steps to deliver water to it's 3 million residents
Authorities in Durban have started emergency steps to deliver water to the city's three million people as a record drought grips the country. The city is setting up machines that will prepare four- liter (one gallon) bags of water for distribution among the neediest residents, its executive committee said Tuesday. Durban is installing 80 water tanks and increasing the number of tankers driving around the city to serve households. Local utility Umgeni Water said Tuesday the drought "is worsening and minimal rainfall is expected over the next four to six months." Water levels in the three main dams supplying Durban and KwaZulu-Natal province capital Pietermaritzburg are at 35%, 38% and 47%, said Shami Harichunder, a spokesman. An El Nino weather system has caused the lowest rainfall across South Africa for more than a century. KwaZulu-Natal sugarcane farmers have lost as much as 70% of their crops in a drought they are describing as the worst in living memory, the province's agricultural union said in an e-mailed statement. Water restrictions may soon be imposed in Pietermaritzburg for the first time in 33 years. Curbs were introduced in Durban last year.

Cleanup Underway After Tornado Rips Through Broward
COCONUT CREEK (CBSMiami) — Another dreary, rainy day and crews in Coconut Creek are cleaning up the mess a tornado left behind after sweeping through Broward County Wednesday.
“It was pretty intense,” said Cindy Paz, who was affected by the damaging winds. “All the trees were blowing really, really hard. It leaves you pretty shaken for a little while.”
Neighborhoods in Coconut Creek are littered with debris. The wicked weather splintered trees, wrecked cars and damaged buildings.
“We are used to hurricanes. You have time to plan for a hurricane and this yard’s been through a few hurricanes and never had this kind of damage from a hurricane,” said Paz.
Frightening cellphone video even captured the tornado whirling across the Florida turnpike, picking up a truck like a toy and dropping it a few lanes over.
“I just braced myself. I thought I was gonna get tipped over but luckily my truck was heavy enough and I didn’t get tipped over,” said German Serena, the driver.
The tornado’s power managed to overturn several trucks. Violent gusts toppled a small bus and sent one car flying from the southbound side of the turnpike to the northbound lanes.
Minutes earlier, the tornado touched down on Broward College’s north campus.
“All of a sudden alarms going off, messages going to phones that there was a tornado warning,” said student Tiffany Permenter. “We saw trees being ripped apart and thrown. And so we opened classroom doors because students were still outside and we motioned them to get inside.”
Winds up to 100 mph tossed cars through the parking lot, even stacking some on top of others.
A day later in the Wynmoor retirement community, homes are being boarded up and workers have started repairs on ripped up roofs.
“Appeared as though (one roof) was actually peeled back from the damage and we did notice a lot of doors to the residences were blown in,” said Sgt. Kathryn Marklane.
One homeowner was bringing in her outdoor furniture when she heard a loud noise inside her home.
“Something had crashed through my window and glass was over my entire bedroom,” said Judy Katanya. “It’s a mess.”
The National Weather Service surveyed the damage and says severe weather season in south Florida is just getting started.
“This is the type of stuff we can expect over the next few months and is typical of an El Niño year,” said Pablo Santos of the National Weather Service.
Due to the risk of more severe weather, all outdoor activities at Broward County Public Schools have been cancelled.
Australia – 2 Months of Rain in 1 Hour Causes Flash Floods in Geelong, Victoria
A storm in Geelong, Victoria, Australia on 27 January 2016 dumped more than double the January monthly average rain on parts of the city in just 1 hour.
Avalon, a suburb of the city, recorded 72 mm of rain between 16:00 to 17:00 local time on 27 January. Geelong Racecourse recorded over 40 mm of rain between 15:00 and 17:00.
The rain caused severe flash flooding throughout the city and suburbs. Emergency services responded to over 500 requests and had to carry out 15 flood rescues.
The City of Greater Geelong said that “Yesterday’s storm was considered a 1 in 100 year event with double the January monthly average rain falling in just 1 hour”.
Stefan Delatovic, Manager of Emergency Management Communications for Victoria State Emergency Service (VICSES) said:
“This dramatic storm has been characterised as a “once in a century event”, but it’s important to say that this is a measure of magnitude, as in ‘a storm this severe has a one-in-100 chance of occurring in any given year’. It doesn’t mean another storm like this isn’t expected for another 50 years. More rain is forecast for today, another storm like this could pop up anywhere in Victoria with little warning”.

7 People Trapped in Cars
Victoria State Emergency Service personnel were praised for their efforts during the storm by Geelong’s mayor.
Victoria State Emergency Service (VICSES) responded to over 520 requests. Amongst these calls for help were 15 people rescued from floodwater, including seven people who were trapped in cars.
Stefan Delatovic, said that “volunteers from around Victoria flooded in to help their Geelong peers to clear these incidents overnight. We’re indebted to their service”.
Stay Away from Floodwater
Throughout the storm and in the aftermath, VICSES stressed the importance of staying away from flood water, especially for those in vehicles. Via social media they said:
“If you can’t seen the road, you can’t guarantee that it is safe. Never drive through floodwater”.
The photos below were taken in North Geelong on 28 January, after the floodwater had receded. Photo credit: VICSES
In a statement earlier today, Mr Delatovic said:
“If you only do one thing, make it an easy one: commit to never entering floodwater. Floodwater moves quickly, picking up dirt and debris as it goes. Television news coverage of Geelong’s storms shows vehicles being swept away. Imagine if you were in them and how scary that would be. Our volunteers will try to save you if you’re trapped in a vehicle being tossed around by floods at obvious risks to themselves, but don’t put their lives in danger by entering it willingly.
TV coverage of last night’s storm included footage of people driving through floodwater, with many neglecting to warn of the severe risk.. Of chief concern to emergency managers is footage of a man surfing on floodwater which often cropped up as a light-hearted end to bulletins, characterised as a bit of fun. Obviously the man in question was having fun, and it’s not the media’s job to do anything more than accurately depict what is occurring, but flood stories including images of “locals enjoying the water” are common, and they normalise this activity.
Floodwater can include fast-moving sheets of corrugated iron, or a concealed storm drain creating an inescapable current. If you cut yourself, you’re prone to infection because the water is filthy. Current images of the receding floodwater in Geelong demonstrate how damaged roads can become. If you can’t see the road, you can’t guarantee that it’s safe.
The media shouldn’t stop broadcasting images of people playing in floodwater, or driving through it, but we all need a reminder of how dangerous it is.
Floods, storms and fires are unpredictable and they will inflict tragedy upon us. Let’s not give them any help”.
California's Record Hailstones Look Like Spiky Grenades (1/26/16)
...The ones that fell Saturday during a severe thunderstorm in Tehama County, California, about 150 miles north of San Francisco, are a bit different. ...
...The starfish-stones, which almost seem composed of grafted icicles, tied the record for largest hail in California set in 1960 in San Diego County. Their diameter was a whopping three inches from spike tip to spike tip, as shown in a photo by Jeff Boyce recently shared by the National Weather Service.
Boyce tweets the stones dropped during violent weather that also featured a funnel cloud, and that their unusual shapes were “exactly how I found them! Had soft landing on grass & didn’t break up like most.” Interestingly enough, other hail through the region had similar spiky growths, though on a smaller scale.
