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.

Comment by Starr DiGiacomo on August 22, 2011 at 10:26pm: Buildings collapse as storm tears through Lake Huron community

Roofs missing, cars overturned

A severe storm that many are calling a tornado struck the Ontario community of Goderich Sunday afternoon, tearing apart buildings in the town centre.

"There's a lot of devastation in the downtown area," OPP Sgt. Dave Rektor told the Toronto Star. "Everyone is working to make sure everyone is present and accounted for."

"As a result of that, we've got buildings that have collapsed, we've got roofs missing, we've got cars overturned, a lot of debris strewn everywhere," Rektor told the newspaper.

Col. Morris Brause, commanding officer of the Essex-Kent Scottish regiment, was caught in the midst of the storm as he drove through Goderich, a community on Lake Huron, while hail, the size of golf balls, rained down.

He described the scene as chaotic. Roofs were torn off the tops of houses, trees were uprooted, windows in the business centre were blown out.

"The downtown has been completely devastated," Brause said by telephone. "There's no doubt in my mind this was a tornado. Goderich has been very badly hit."

A retired police officer, Nigel Tilley, told Wingham radio station CKNX that "the Court House Square is a complete disaster." Goderich is best known for the square, from which major streets radiate in eight directions.

The Ontario Provincial Police were asking the public to stay away from the town Sunday night as emergency crews attempted to respond to calls.

Traffic was being detoured and police are not allowing motorists to enter the downtown area.

Witnesses to the storm were posting their accounts on Facebook.

One witness said she was still shaking after the storm passed through her yard.

"Mass destruction. Goderich is completely shut down. I have no hydro but hear that houses are gone."

Brause said the sky darkened very quickly as he drove on Highway 21, approaching the bridge that leads into Goderich's downtown area.

It began to hail so hard that it appeared as though the surroundings were being blanketed in a grey fog.

"We couldn't drive," he said, adding that cars had to stop at the side of the road because it was impossible to see.

"It was the worst kind of hailstorm," he said, adding that it reminded him of a scene in the movie Twister.

"People are shaking their heads in disbelief."

Goderich, which has about 8,000 people, is on the shore of Lake Huron, about 225 kilometres west of Toronto, and is known for having been named "the prettiest town in Canada" by Queen Victoria, although she never visited.

Posted on August 20, 2011 at 12:05 PM

WILDWOOD, N.J. (AP) — Authorities say five people were injured when a ride partially collapsed at a New Jersey amusement park where a girl fell to her death from a Ferris wheel in June.

Wildwood police say the center mast snapped on the sea dragon ride Friday night. It's a pirate ship that swings riders back and forth high into the air. It wasn't immediately clear what caused the mast to break.

Officials say a teenager was sent to the hospital with injuries that are not considered life-threatening. Four others were treated at the scene for minor injuries.

The collapse was the second serious accident at the Morey's Mariner's Landing Pier this summer. An 11-year-old girl died in June after falling from a Ferris wheel.

A park statement said the partial collapse was being investigated.

Giant hole in Northfleet

Thursday, August 18, 2011
9:40 AM

Motorists are being diverted in Northfleet after a mysterious road collapse which has left workmen scratching their heads.

Shopkeepers and motorists were surprised to discover a large section of Dene Holm Road had fallen in on Thursday morning and the road was closed to traffic.

Kent County Council sent out a team of contractors to try to uncover the cause of the 1ft deep hole which covers a large section of the road outside a row of shops, but to no avail.

Chalk caves

Jo Roberts, of All Season Florists, said: “It’s right out- side my shop. I’m not sure if it’s affecting the customers yet but they can certainly see the road is closed and we haven’t been told how long it’s going to take.

“I noticed it right away. It’s about half way across the road and about a foot deep.

“It was built on old denes, so maybe it’s been caused by one of those but it’s just a guess.”

Denes or dene holes are usually a series of underground chalk caves.

The council said the street was fairly old but its contractors were baffled as to the cause, although one theory was it had become water damaged.

A spokesman said: “We have since excavated to try to establish the cause of the collapse, but this is not yet known. An instruction has been given to our contactor to strengthen the area, re-pave and re-open the road as soon as possible.”

Comment by Starr DiGiacomo on August 18, 2011 at 10:14pm: No injuries reported in partial collapse of apartment building on South Bridge Street in Holyoke

Published: Thursday, August 18, 2011, 12:12 PM Updated: Thursday, August 18, 2011, 1:59 PM

HOLYOKE - No injuries were reported following the partial roof collapse of an apartment building on South Bridge Street Thursday morning.

“Police and fire are down there right now,” Sgt. David M. O’Connell said of the building at 532 and 534 South Bridge St., early Thursday afternoon.

Lt. Thomas Paquin, spokesman for the Holyoke Fire Department said more than 30 families were evacuated.

“If you look at the sidewalk and see the piles of bricks on it, it’s amazing that nobody got hurt,” Paquin said, adding that several vehicles parked in front of the building were damaged by falling debris.

Paquin said that tenants from 530 and 542 South Bridge were also evacuated, as a precaution, following the late morning collapse and will likely be allowed back into their homes later Thursday.

Comment by Starr DiGiacomo on August 18, 2011 at 3:51am: Construction worker injured in wall collapse in Piscataway

4:51 PM, Aug. 17, 2011

PISCATAWAY — A 25-year-old Maryland man was injured on Wednesday when part of a third-floor wall at a townhouse and condominium complex being built on the former Fairway Golf Center property collapsed.

Piscataway fire companies set up a rope rescue and rescue basket to lower him to paramedics because no stairs had been built to reach where he was working.

At about 9:10 a.m., police and firefighters were called 1650 Stelton Road, where the complex is under construction. The former golf center had housed a driving range, go-carts and miniature golf course.

Artie Hayducka, fire commissioner of New Market Fire District 1, said the worker was on the third floor of the building when a wall of wood planks, weighing about 200 pounds, collapsed on him.

Police said the wall fell on the worker’s back and he was in severe pain and unable to move. The worker’s name was not released by police. Police said he worked for Piscataway-based Edgewood Properties.

The worker was pulled from the debris. Because there were no stairs to reach him, the first arriving units had to climb makeshift ladders to reach the worker.

Hayducka said Incident Commander Edward McDermott requested a mutual-aid ladder truck from the New Market Fire Department to help extricate the worker and lower him to the ground.

Hayducka said the North Stelton Fire Rescue Company responded and set up a rope rescue system. New Market Fire Truck 6 was called in to assist with placing the patient into a rescue basket and lowering him to awaiting paramedics, who transported the worker to Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick.

Hayducka said the worker appeared to have suffered head, back and leg injuries.
