"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.
At least 10 people have died and three are missing after a flash flood and landslides struck Garut and Sumedang in West Java in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
The flash flood struck Bayongbong, Karangpawitan, in Garut regency, at 1 a.m. Wednesday morning after heavy rainfall covered the area from Tuesday evening. The rainfall caused the Cimanuk and Cikamuri rivers to overflow, National Disaster Mitigation Agency (BNPB) spokesman Sutopo Purwo Nugroho said on Wednesday.
The flashflood in Garut resulted in the deaths of eight people. Many others are injured and hundreds of people have had to leave their homes, Sutopo said, citing data from the Garut Disaster Mitigation Agency (BPBD).
The flood reached up to two meters in height after just three hours of rainfall.
"Right now, most of the flood has subsided, but [the disaster] shows that the river basin of Cimanuk River was in a critical condition," Sutopo said as reported by kompas.com.
Meanwhile, on Tuesday evening, landslides in Cimareme village, Sumedang regency, buried two houses. Two people have been found dead and two others are thought to be buried in the landslides.
A BNPB quick response team and the West Java BPBD have deployed personnel to help search for the missing victims and to assist the Garut BPBD and the Sumendang BPBD.

Samoa hit by hail storm so rare residents thought it was a hoax
Hail has fallen in Samoa for the first time since 2011. Photograph: Vaetasi Asiata/Facebook
Meteorologist forced to release satellite images of the storm to convince some locals that the hail wasn't part of a practical joke
Samoa has been hit by a hail storm so rare that it was believed to be a hoax by many of the island’s inhabitants.
The tropical nation of Samoa lies in the Pacific Ocean, where the average temperature at this time of year is 29C.
But on Friday evening an unexpected hail storm struck the eastern side of the island of Savai’i, accompanied by heavy rain and strong wind gusts.
It was only the second time since records began that hail has fallen on Samoa, the first was in 2011.
“The ice was very small and there were no reports of damage,” said Luteru Tauvale, principal meteorologist for the Samoan Meteorology Service.
“Because it was so unexpected a lot of people thought it had been invented. We had to release satellite images of the conditions that led to to the hail for people to believe it was real.”
Samoans took to social media to share their photos of the hail, many voicing disbelief at the incident, and then saying it was the “first time” they had been convinced of the the phenomenon of climate change.
“Climate change is here!” wrote one Samoan on Facebook.
“More like we have just woken up to the fact it had been with us for a while but we refuse to accept/believe it.”
Hailstorms form within a unusually unstable air mass in which the temperature falloff with height is much greater than normal.
A weather rarity: Tropical Storm Julia forms over land
Tropical Storm Julia forms over Jacksonville
Julia is the 10th named storm of the year in the Atlantic
Meteorologists question the storm getting a name
While a super typhoon was wreaking havoc in East Asia, a little tropical storm named Julia formed in Florida on Tuesday night.
Yes, "in" Florida. As in, it formed over land -- a very rare occurrence, meteorologically speaking.
The center of the storm was over the city of Jacksonville when it was given tropical storm status late Tuesday night -- but that decision caused some controversy.
'Persistent organization'
At 11 p.m., the National Hurricane Center made the decision to name the storm after a small area of tropical storm-force winds was consistently reported for 12 hours.
"Given this persistent organization, the system is classifiable as a tropical cyclone and advisories are being initiated on Tropical Storm Julia, the tenth named storm of the 2016 Atlantic hurricane season," the center said in its discussion Tuesday night.
Many meteorologists went to Twitter to disagree with the findings.
Some even wondered why this storm received a name while the devastating Louisiana floods in August did not meet the criteria for a named storm.
How can a tropical storm form over land, rather than over warm ocean water? While Julia's center was slightly inland, there was plenty of bath-temperature water nearby, which fueled the thunderstorms that formed its core.
Another interesting phenomenon could also be at play: the "brown ocean" effect, in which a tropical cyclone gains enough energy from a saturated Earth to keep a warm core. It's too early for scientists to know for sure what caused Julia to form over land, but these theories will certainly be researched as a result of this rare formation.
The forecast for Julia
Julia is forecast to move slowly to the northeast, and although the winds will remain strong along the coast, very heavy rains will be the main threat. Some areas of coastal South Carolina and Georgia could receive upwards of 10 inches of rainfall in the next couple of days.
Julia is forecast to dump upwards of 10 inches of rain across the southeast coastline.

Over the next day, the National Hurricane Center expects Julia to become a tropical depression. It will ultimately lose all its tropical characteristics and become a remnant low pressure system.

Sheffield hit by 'tornado' during day of weather extremes across UK
Flash floods also strike Manchester supermarket and city centre
Residents reported a “tornado” touching down in Sheffield last night amid a night of extreme weather across the UK.
Conditions varied hugely across the country, with a high of 34.4C in Gravesend making Tuesday the hottest the day of 2016, and hottest September day since 1911.
During the evening, a number of Sheffield’s residents filmed what appeared to be a tornado unfurling on the outskirts of the city.
Extreme weather was experienced across the country. Manchester City's Champions League tie with Borussia Monchengladbach was cancelled due to the heavy downpour.
In addition to the Etihad Stadium, an Asda supermarket in Greater Manchester had to be closed after torrential rain caused a flash flood in the shopping aisles.
People were also forced to wade through knee-deep water in the centre of Mancherster. Residents awoke to sink holes in Mancheser's streets.
In Lancashire, 20,000 homes were left without power throughout Tuesday night.
The Met Office recorded “quite intense thunder activity” in the Sheffield area, but has no record of tornado activity. “It’s quite possible there was a tornado and they are not that unusual,” Grahame Madge, senior press officer for The Met Office, told The Independent.
“It’s very difficult to record a tornado unless people have seen them first-hand,” he said.
“They often don’t leave a trace. Tornados can be so fleeting and transient.”
Mr Madge maintained, however, the perfect conditions needed for a tornado to take place were not present in Sheffield last night.
While it was warm and humid, “the conditions in the upper atmosphere were not perfect.”
Sheffield continued to face torrential rainfall in the evening, which disrupted the pre-match build-up to Sheffield Wednesday’s football match against Bristol City.

'70,000 lightning strikes' cause power cuts in France
Some 120,000 homes in western France were without electricity on Wednesday morning after violent storms swept through the region.
The country’s weather agency Météo France recorded 70,000 different lightning strikes across the storm-hit areas overnight on Tuesday.
And the extreme weather is not over yet with seven departments still on orange alert – the second highest warning level, with more storms forecast.
The storms left their mark with homes from the Pyrennees in the south west right up to Brittany in the north west hit by power cuts.
Homes across the Pays de la Loire, Aude, and Dordogne were also hit. In the department of Gironde some 23,000 homes saw power cut by the storms, many of which were around the Bordeaux area.
Today has officially become the hottest day of the year so far and the warmest September day in 105 years after temperatures soared to a scorching 34.4C (93.9F) - despite parts of the UK enduring heavy rain and lightning.
Sunseekers have flocked to parks and beaches across the country to make the most of the flash heatwave which has seen the mercury rise to a record-breaking 34.4C at Gravesend, Kent and 32.8C at Heathrow, London. Forecasters say large swathes of southern England and the Midlands are also enjoying temperatures of 31C and '32C in places' - meaning parts of the UK are currently warmer than Rome, Crete, Thailand, Majorca and Madrid.
However, in other parts of the UK, rain has fallen so hard and fast that the Met Office has issued a yellow warning for rain for the North West, North East, Yorkshire and into parts of Scotland. Meteorologist Mark Wilson said 'there has been a lot of rain in a very short space of time' in the North West - along with of thunder and lightning - and it could cause flash flooding and travel chaos.
In Manchester, the rain was so heavy that it has forced Manchester City to call off their opening Champions League game with Borussia Monchengladbach because of a waterlogged pitch. Elsewhere in the city, people were seen running for cover and taking shelter under umbrellas and full-body raincoats. People were also seen running for cover and ducking under umbrellas in Blackpool, as well as areas in the south east such as Bournemouth in Dorset, and Wales.

Sea of Galilee in crisis - ISRAEL
Published: 12.09.16
After three years of lack of rain, the Sea of Galilee is at its lowest point since Fall 2012; if this year's rains fail again, both the lake and the aquifers surrounding it will be at dangerously low levels.

The Sea of Galilee's Kinneret Authority recently announced that the waterline currently stands at -213.375 meters below sea level, which is 37.5 meters below the lake's Red Line.
The waterline for the lake needs to be four meters and 57 centimeters higher for it to be considered "full." However, the last winter was the third winter in a row whereby the rainfall was less than the average, causing the year 2016 to be considered a drought year.
Once the water level gets this low, an island appears in the lake.
Pinchas Green, Deputy Chairman of the Kinneret Authority, said that "the Sea of Galilee's water line has dropped by a meter and two centimeters since the beginning of the summer. The waterline is currently very low, lower than the lower red line threshold. The lack of water was felt really early this year. We all need to pray for a really rainy summer this year."
Dr. Amir Givati, Director of the Surface Water Office at the Hydrological Authority of the Israel Water Authority said that "the Sea of Galilee waterline is at its lowest level since Fall 2012. The Water Authority isn't expecting large amounts of rain this winter, and the waterline is expected to drop even further – well below the lower red line. If the weather remains dry for the next few months, then other rivers, streams, and springs in the Sea of Galilee region will run dry."
The Israel Water Authority is warning that a dry winter will bring the waterline to its lowest point in nine years, and that aquifer levels may also fall below their red lines.
"The Sea of Galilee waterline is already well below the lower red line, despite the fact that pumping from the lake has been greatly reduced. The amount of water being pumped from the lake is the lowest ever. However, the Jordan river is on the verge of dehydration," Givati said.
The Water Authority said "according to weather models which the Water Authority has received from international forecasting centers, and also from the Israeli meteorological center, that the worst is yet to come."

Temporal Rome flooded the streets around the Olympic Stadium, closed stretch of the Tiber- ITALY
September 11, 2016
Heavy Thunderstorm in Rome in the afternoon yesterday, two men were hit by lightning
A thunderstorm with wind and rain, which lasted a few minutes, has affected Roma earlier. Water flooded the streets around the Olympic Stadium. Reported flooding in San Cesareo, the height of the Roma Sud junction of the A1: the ramp was closed. Firefighters have made at least eighty interventions so far. In particular, the areas most affected by the storm were those of Rome North and in particular the area of the Olympic Stadium and the Triumphal Arch.
The subway is currently stopped due to flooding between Octavian and Battistini stops due to flooding in the latter. Atac has arranged replacement bus. Delays and possible interruptions of service on several bus lines ( "lines 546-912-908-907-993-998-982-992-46-49-913-446-980 delays / interruptions due to bad weather," he writes on twitter ATAC)
The Tiber Marshal Diaz and Ponte Duca D'Aosta have been closed for flooding. Slow Traffic and traffic problems even via Palmiro Togliatti, via Pietro de Coubertin, where a vehicle is stuck because of the water. Reported trees on the roadway in the area Castel Giubileo.
Severe weather also yesterday afternoon: two men were struck by lightning in a park in via Alberto Guglielmotti . The two are still hospitalized.
133 killed, 395 missing, 107K displaced in N. Korean flooding – UN
Map of North Korea showing the areas affected by severe flooding
Severe flooding in North Korea has led to the deaths of 133 people, with 395 reported missing, according to the UN. More than 100,000 have been forced to flee their homes.
Some 107,000 people have been displaced in the area along the Tumen River, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said in a statement, citing figures from Pyongyang.
The official KCNA news agency reported on Sunday that the flooding in the country’s northeast has led to “great hardship.” A labor campaign designed to bolster the nation’s economy has been shifted to “direct all efforts to the construction of dwelling houses to provide flood-hit people with warm cradles and turn the flood-battered region into a fairyland in the era of the Workers’ party within this year,” the agency reported, quoting the country’s Central Committee.
An address published in the country’s official state media has called on all citizens to take part in the recovery work, TASS reported, stating that “all the human, material, and technical resources of the country have been mobilized.”
Workers from the International Red Cross and Red Crescent are reportedly taking part in humanitarian efforts, distributing aid to those in the worst-hit areas.
Damage from the flooding is widespread, with 35,500 houses affected, 69 percent of which have been completely destroyed, OCHA said in a Sunday statement. Some 8,700 public buildings have also been damaged.
Around 16,000 hectares (39,540 acres) of farmland has been affected, and at least 140,000 people are in need of urgent help, the UN office said.
KCNA also reported that railways, roads, power supplies, and factories have also been destroyed or submerged.
The North Korean meteorological department announced that the flooding was “the most devastating natural disaster since the liberation of Korea in 1945.”
North Korea is vulnerable to natural disasters, particularly flooding, as its territory is mostly composed of mountains and hills that have been stripped bare for fuel or turned into rice fields. This allows rainwater to freely flow downhill.
At least 169 people were killed by a severe rainstorm in 2012, and a series of floods and droughts were partly responsible for a famine that killed hundreds of thousands between 1994 and 1998.
Violent tidal waves that swept through parts of the coast in the Greater Accra and the Volta regions have left in their trail of damage the livelihoods of hundreds of fishermen.
The waves destroyed homes, fishing boats, outboard motors, fishing nets and other equipment of fishermen in affected communities that include Bortianor, Kokrobite and Jamestown in the Greater Accra Region and Fuveme in the Volta Region.
At the Lighthouse area in Jamestown, victims were seen counting their losses. Scores of linear wooden structures that provided shelter for fishermen in the beach community were washed off while the remnants of those structures were inundated with flood water.
The tidal waves defied the presence of the sea defence wall, as the water spilled into the market in the community, wiping away structures and shutting down the economic activities of the people temporarily.
For people living along the coast, around James Town, Osu, Tema, fishing is the main source of livelihood.
The fishing industry is now under threat of collapse following the impact of this destruction.
A mixture of desperation, anguish and sorrow was the mood in the area as residents stood in groups, wondering how they were going to pick up the pieces.
One of the victims, Mr Adzi Raka Tetteh, could not hide his frustration as he recounted events.
“It all started around 12 midnight. The pressure from the waves was so intense that everyone had to run for his or her life. As I speak now, my boat, outboard motor and nets have all been carried away. I do not know what I will do to survive because I have nothing left to lean on,” he said.
While a few managed to retrieve their damaged outboard motors which were buried in the sand, most of them now have their equipment swallowed by the sea.
At Fuveme, the waves inundated homes. The only primary school in the area was also destroyed in the process.
It is the fourth time the disaster has occurred in the area this year, leading to the destruction of coconut plantations around the sea.
The residents have, therefore, appealed to the government to construct a sea defence wall like the Keta Defence Wall to prevent further occurrences.
The MP for Anlo, Clement Kofi Humado, is, however, not in favour of a sea defence wall as a solution to the perennial tidal waves.
He opined that the immediate solution to the problem was the relocation of the residents.
“I am very much aware of what they are going through, but not in agreement with a sea defence wall because I don’t think that will be an immediate solution,” he indicated.
The fishing community of about 1,500 people have, however, rejected that suggestion.
