ZETATALK: THE STRETCH ZONE, THAT SINKING FEELING
ZetaTalk explores the concept of Earth's "stretch zones"—regions where tectonic plates are being pulled apart due to planetary forces, particularly in anticipation of a predicted pole shift. It focuses heavily on the eastern seaboard of the U.S., the Caribbean, and parts of Europe, warning that these areas will experience significant land subsidence due to the widening of the Atlantic Rift.
Key points include:
Historical evidence of submerged forests and civilizations off the U.S. East Coast and Bermuda.
Predictions that areas like Florida, Georgia, and the UK will lose elevation and be permanently flooded.
A detailed catalog of sinkholes, train derailments, infrastructure collapses, and mysterious odors from 2004–2005, interpreted as signs of Earth stretching.
The concept of “imploding cities”, where underground infrastructure fails due to shifting rock layers.
Warnings to relocate from vulnerable coastal and low-lying areas before the pole shift occurs.

Bridgwater river wall damaged in flood 'will collapse'
Concrete has been sprayed into the hole to stabilise the material under the road surfaceA riverside wall in Bridgwater damaged in a flood is still moving and will collapse, officials have said.
The partially collapsed wall at West Quay is said to be moving at 15mm a day although it is still performing a role protecting the quay from river water.
Large cracks appeared on Friday after local drainage failed to deal with 20mm of rain that fell in an hour.
A council spokesperson said it would be difficult to find a long-term solution until the wall had collapsed entirely.
Concrete has been sprayed into the hole behind the wall to stabilise the material under the road surface and protect it from further erosion.
Nineteen properties were evacuated on Friday and residents told that the worst case scenario was a possible delay of six months before being allowed to return home.
Dave Swann, 44, said he was "devastated" at the thought of being away from home for Christmas.
'Flooding possible'
Higher tides have been forecast for later in the week but water engineers do not think these pose any further flood risk.
BBC weatherman Ian Fergusson said the heaviest rain on Thursday morning was expected to fall on parts of east Devon and west and central Somerset.
"The main implication will be a lot of surface water and spray into the rush hour," he said.
"However, as we saw with the issues arising from heavy rain last Friday in Bridgwater and Bruton, localised flooding is possible, especially as the soil moisture level is already at capacity across many parts of Somerset

Bayview lanes remain closed
Work could continue until weekend
Sinkhole. Sinkhole is on Bayview Avenue at Lauraleaf and stretches south to Doncrest Drive, reportedly 100 metres in length. STAFF PHOTO/STEVE SOMERVILLERelated StoriesWatermain break the cause of massive hole on Bayview.
If you were planning to cruise down Bayview Avenue to Toronto this week, you'll have to plan an alternate route.
Markham's enivronmental services director Peter Loukes said the town is expecting to only open the closed portion of Bayview by the weekend.
"We may be able to open it earlier if the weather holds for us," he said.
A ruptured water main on Bayview Avenue Friday caused a massive sinkhole that closed the road indefinitely between John Street and Steeles Avenue.
Mr. Loukes said road crews have been working round the clock to repair the damaged portion of the road.
"We had to strip the pavement from the top of the hill down to the bridge," he said. Paving crews were scheduled to come this evening, he added.
Mr. Loukes speculated that watermain break was caused by rusting which created small holes in the cast iron.
"You never can predict when they are going to go," he said. "We have 30 to 40 watermain breaks a year. A little less than one a week."
On Sunday another water main broke on John Street. Mr. Loukes said crews repaired that one and the damage wasn't as extensive as the break on Bayview Avenue.

Rescue dogs search rubble after wall falls on ex-OAP home
A WALL lining the entrance to a former old people’s home mysteriously collapsed on to the building forcing fire crews to take in rescue dogs yesterday morning.
No-one was injured when the 130ft long, 8ft high wall on Langland Road, Mumbles, collapsed but the building was damaged.
Low roofs on the frontage of the former Clifflands nursing home were damaged by falling bricks and rubble entered the building, which is now unoccupied.
A spokesman for Mid and West Fire Service said special rescue dogs had been called in to make sure no-one was caught up in the collapse.
Firefighters responded to reports of a large collapsed wall shortly before 7am.
Mid and West Fire Service said around 30 tonnes of rubble had been left after the collapse and the cause was unknown.
Firefighters spent two hours at the scene, the last appliance leaving at 8.55am.
A Swansea council spokesman said after an inspection it was satisfied there was no longer a danger posed by the wall.
The spokesman said: “Building control officers responded immediately and instigated removal of further areas of the wall which were considered unsafe.
“The site is now safe. Work is continuing to clear debris from the area.”
The council also confirmed the property was privately owned but the owner of the building could not be contacted for comment yesterday.

CDRI porch collapses, none hurt
LUCKNOW: The porch of the building, which houses the Central Drug Research Institute, collapsed on Tuesday.
According to institute's officials, the porch had developed cracks and CDRI had informed the state government as well as the Archaeological Survey of India about the dilapidated front portion of the building. Since, it is a heritage building, CDRI could not have initiated any construction on its own.
"Nobody was injured in the incident," said Vinay Tripathi, a senior scientist and CDRI spokesperson. Even cars parked at the place were destroyed beyond repair. The bricks dating back to 1887 and 1903 were seen in the rubble at the collapse site.
The sprawling campus of CDRI, a CSIR laboratory, is situated in Chhattar Manzil.
Nawab of Lucknow, Ghazi-ud-din Haider started the construction of the Chattar Manzil. Since he died, it was his son Nasir-ud-din Haider who got the building completed. It served as a palace for the rulers of Awadh and their wives. The building served a stronghold for Indian revolutionaries during the first war of Indian independence of 1857. story continues....

We Energies Bluff Collapses, Dumping Coal Ash Into Lake Michigan
OAK CREEK, Wisconsin, November 2, 2011 (ENS) - A section of bluff, including part of an ash-filled ravine, collapsed Monday beside the We Energies Oak Creek Power Plant, sending coal ash, soil and mud onto the Lake Michigan coast.
A pickup truck, dredging equipment, diesel fuel tanks, mud and other debris landed in the lake along with an undetermined amount of coal ash, a byproduct of burning coal for electricity.
We Energies officials confirmed all personnel have been accounted for and no one was injured in the mishap. The power plant contined to operate unaffected.
Oak Creek Acting Fire Chief Tom Rosandich said the collapse left a debris field 120 yards long and 50 to 80 yards wide at the foot of the bluff. The coal ash came from a decades-old, closed coal ash landfill that is located near to where pollution-control equipment is being installed.
Officials from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources said that no one is yet certain of the extent of environmental damage.
An investigation into the cause of the accident has been started by U.S. Coast Guard pollution investigators from Sector Lake Michigan in Milwaukee, state, local and company officials.
We Energies has attempted to reassure the public that the spill is minor and the material that landed in the lake is not hazardous.
"Coal ash is not a hazardous material. It is unlikely there will be any health impacts at all from this event," the company said in a statement. "The company and other officials will conduct an investigation to determine the cause of the bluff failure."
But environmental groups are concerned that the toxic components in the coal ash could pollute the lake and enter the groundwater.
"We Energies said in an update on its website today that coal ash is 'not a hazardous material,'" says Katie Nekola, attorney for Clean Wisconsin, "but that is far from true. The fact is, coal ash contains chemicals and compounds that are dangerous to human health."
Coal ash contains 24 known pollutants, some of which, according to the National Research Council, are toxic even in miniscule quantities. Those toxins include: arsenic, boron, cadmium, chromium, hexavalent chromium, lead, mercury, and dioxins, along with other chemicals and compounds.
The coal ash spill comes at a time when Congress is considering limiting EPA's authority to regulate coal ash as a hazardous waste.
On October 14, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 2273, a bill that would stop the EPA from setting standards to require power plants to dispose of coal ash more safely at the 1,300 coal ash dumps around the country. Story continues...

Residents rush to save cars as road caves in
Warner, Lee Sing slam businessman for excavating area.
Residents of Augustine Lane, Belmont, rushed to save their cars from falling into a collapsed section of their road, which occurred as a result of excavation works being done by a businessman in the area.
They fear, however, that if their road is not fixed, their homes may be next.
Works and Infrastructure Minister Jack Warner, Member of Parliament (Port of Spain North/St Ann's West) Patricia McIntosh and Port of Spain Mayor Louis Lee Sing toured the site yesterday and condemned the businessman who Lee Sing said was warned about what he was doing and then, "ordered to cease and desist but he continued despite that".
Augustine Lane is a relatively narrow road, located off Belle Eau Road in Belmont.
Prior to the excavation works, a large, seemingly well-built retaining wall had been constructed to support the road while below the wall is a large building owned by the businessman.
Behind the building was where the excavation works were being done, and according to Lee-Sing, it was these activities which led to the land beneath the wall being undermined.
On Monday, around 4.30 p.m., the retaining wall began falling into the almost 30-metre-deep crevasse, taking approximately 20 metres of Augustine Lane with it.
Cars can no longer pass along the road, and according to Lee Sing, the repair work is expected to cost between ten and $15 million.
Lee-Sing said, however, "We are going to see this to the end to ensure the gentleman responsible pays for every inch of road that has fallen."
Resident Rickie Medina said, "The first landslip was about two months aback, and they (the businessman's contractor) cut into the wall itself and this is the outcome."
He said that around 5 p.m., his wife called him and shouted at him to move his car, which he said was in danger of falling into the crevasse.
Medina said, "We can't make grocery and come in to our area as we are supposed, and it's a whole inconvenience."
Another neighbour, Ingrid Williams, said, "Since June, they started to dig the land, and it suffered my mother so much that she died three months ago. I called the agent for the land, and they stopped them from digging near my house."
Williams continued, "Two months ago, part of the wall came down, and I spoke to the engineer about it, and yesterday evening, 4.30 to 5 p.m., a passing car got stuck over the precipice, and the cars who was behind him had to help move out his car. I haven't slept last night or this morning."
Warner assured, however, "We shall work in conjunction with the mayor, and we shall start work to shore up this site because if not, this road will collapse in a day or two, and people cannot walk here. Once this collapses, then the houses are next, so tomorrow morning (today), my team and the mayor's team will be up here to plan what will be done. When it's done, then some designs for a wall will be submitted, and in some ways, we will have to work together. We have to collaborate on this."
Warner continued, "There is no price you can put for the inconvenience of the public, and that to me is regrettable, and this is happening all over the country, and this is part of the cause of all the flooding. People just cut the mountain and cut willy-nilly, without any regard for flooding, for drainage, and then they expect the Government or the city corporation to fix it overnight, and this has to stop."
