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.

Big Woody's, closed over sinkhole damage, expected to open by the end of October
Published: Wednesday, October 12, 2011, 4:47 AM Updated: Wednesday, October 12, 2011, 7:39 AM
View full sizeSinkholes have opened up behind and under Big Woody's in Forks Township, a sports bar and restaurant in a strip shopping center on Sullivan Trail. Big Woody’s Sports Bar and Restaurant is on track to open by the end of the month, according to its landlord.
The business in the Sullivan Trail strip mall near Zucksville Road closed in August after sinkholes opened up in the parking lot.
Landlord Joe Posh previously said he would be seeking help with repair costs from the Easton Suburban Water Authority if the holes opened up due to a water main break. They opened up around the time of torrential rains from Hurricane Irene, and may have opened due to the stormwater.
Posh said Monday the cracks in the business’ siding and undermining its foundation could be a sign of damage caused by ruptured water lines.
“It’s a sign of a washout from some things,” he said. “We are still assessing it.”
The cluster of cracks and cavities — about seven of them — are yet to be filled in and cover about 50 to 60 square feet behind the strip mall, Posh said.
An Easton Suburban Water Authority spokesman did not immediately return a phone call seeking comment.
About 2,000 gallons of water were lost due to a main break on the site. The restaurant cannot reopen until a structural engineer determines it is safe.
Trevor Wayward, professional geologist with Gilmore & Associates, assessed the damage in August on behalf of the township. He said several factors could cause foundations to unsettle, including the underlying bedrock in the Lehigh Valley, a limestone corridor. Wayward said there are definite sinkhole-related features in the road near the Big Woody’s property,
Township Manager Richard Schnaedter said the water authority could be to blame for the holes.
Posh has since hired Earth Engineering Inc. to assess damage. Paul J. Creneti, director at Earth Engineering, did not immediately return a phone call for comment.
Geologists have estimated it would cost at least $50,000 to repair the damage.
The other merchants in the strip mall — Supercuts, Ivy Cleaners, a vacant building that had housed CC Wireless and Jasmine Japanese and Thai Cuisine — have reopened. Posh said Big Woody’s owners are remodeling the interior and exterior of the building.

Growing Sinkhole Threatens Home Destruction in Stafford
Wednesday, Oct 12, 2011 | Updated 8:31 AM EDT
Aaron Gilchrist
A sinkhole in Stafford, Va. has already swallowed several decks and now threatens to destroy homes. News4's Aaron Gilchrist learned how the community is helping to save the homes.
A sinkhole that opened up early last month in Stafford is growing, and threatens to swallow up two homes.
Ora Barnes and Dan O'Leary, who own the two houses on Brush Everard Court, are hoping an engineering firm can offer them a solution to the slow-moving landslide. The sliding dirt has already swept most of their backyards down hill.
The sinkhole, approximately 100-feet wide and 30-feet deep, developed after days of heavy rain in early September.
Stafford County officials deemed the so hole so dangerous the two homes have been condemned. In the second week of September, a chain link fence topped by barbed wire went up around both properties, to keep curious onlookers from wandering around back and falling off the cliff.
Geotechnical engineers are on site drilling 65 foot deep holes to take soil and water samples to try to figure out what to do next. The evaluation will cost $15,000.
The homeowners said after consulting attorneys, they have discovered the monetary burden to fix the problem is all on them. A local church, Ebenezer United Methodist, has come to their aid, collecting donations.
The engineers' evaluation could take several weeks.

1 dead, 5 injured in construction accident at York University
Police said that the excavating equipment toppled on a construction site on York Blvd. near Keele St. and that the incident was classified as an industrial accident..
CTV TorontoOne person was killed and five others injured after a piece of construction equipment collapsed at York University.
Emergency Medical Services confirmed that one worker at the scene died.
That worker and another were initially trapped beneath the equipment, which collapsed at a construction site on York Blvd. near Keele St. at about 2:40 p.m. on Tuesday, police said.
The worker who was trapped but alive was freed by emergency workers and transported to Sunnybrook hospital, police said.
The accident happened at the site of the future subway station at the university, Toronto Transit Commission spokesman Brad Ross confirmed.
“It is our project but we contracted the work out,” he said.
A contractor has been working on the University-Spadina extension line at York U for months.
Ross said he did not yet know how many workers were at the scene when the accident happened. “We know they were doing excavation.”
The accident is causing traffic and transit disruptions. Police said Steeles Ave. is open, but drivers can expect delays as traffic clears the area during rush hour.
The campus TTC bus loop at York and Ian MacDonald Blvds. is closed, and the following routes are diverting or letting off passengers near the school: 35E, 41, 60, 106, 107, 108 and 196.
An Ornge medical helicopter landed in a field at the southeast corner of Keele St. and Steeles Ave. at 3:15 p.m. It is expected to leave shortly.
An inspector from the provincial Ministry of Labour is at the scene, said a spokesperson. An engineer will also be deployed, added William Lin.

Farmville Lake Road Spillway Collapses in Storm
In last week’s “Where is it?” (Page A3) we featured a photo of a spillway at the end of Farmville Lake Road. The spillway is at the end of the state maintained road and is part of the only easement to the three homes on the other side of the dam that holds back Farmville Lake.
On Friday morning, areas around Farmville reported as much as 4 inches of rain in a few hours. The resulting flooding closed streets in Farmville and flooded cars on Longwood University’s campus.
At Farmville Lake, however, the damage was more severe. At 9:00 a.m. there was more than 16 inches of fast moving water flowing over the spillway. Large fish were jumping from the water onto the banks in an attempt to escape the fast moving flow.
At 10:12 a.m., the concrete spillway collapsed, threatening to release the more than 12-acre lake downstream onto The Manor Golf Course.
Prince Edward County officials arrived shortly after, along with representatives from VDOT. Since the spillway is not part of a state maintained road, the decision about how to repair it falls on the owner of the lake, not on the county or state.
On Wednesday at press time, the level of the lake had returned to normal and it doesn’t appear that the lake will drain at this time. See more photos on Page A2.
CAPTION: Above: This photo was taken at 10:12AM on Friday, September 23 moments after the spillway began to collapse. While the damage is severe, it appears that the lake will maintain its level.http://www.southsidemessenger.com/articles/2011/09/30/news/top_stor...
This is a couple weeks ago but the before and after pix show the extreme pressure of water destroying the road.
