"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 4 killed as Hurricane Matthew starts lashing Haiti, Jamaica
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti – Heavy rains from the outer bands of Hurricane Matthew drenched Jamaica and Haiti on Monday, flooding streets and sending many people to emergency shelters as the Category 4 storm approached the two countries. Two deaths were reported in Haiti, bringing the total for the storm to at least four.
Matthew had sustained winds of 140 mph as it moved north, up from 130 mph earlier in the day. The center was expected to pass just east of Jamaica and near or over the southwestern tip of Haiti early Tuesday before heading to eastern Cuba, the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami said.
"We are looking at a dangerous hurricane that is heading into the vicinity of western Haiti and eastern Cuba," said Richard Pasch, a senior hurricane specialist with the center. "People who are impacted by things like flooding and mudslides hopefully would get out and relocate because that's where we have seen loss of life in the past."
Many were taking that advice. In Jamaica, more than 700 people packed shelters in the eastern parish of St. Thomas and the Salvation Army said there were about 200 people at its shelters in Kingston as it put out a call for mattresses and cots.
Still, many people chose to stick it out. Local Government Minister Desmond McKenzie said all but four residents of the Port Royal area near the Kingston airport refused to board buses and evacuate.
EDGEWATER — The last thing Susan Selesky expected Thursday was to be awakened from a nap by a tree penetrating her roof.
So it's understandable she compared a strong afternoon storm to some of the hurricanes that have lashed her Florida Shores neighborhood.
“I’ve been through Charlie, Frances and Jeanne and this was worse than all three of those,” Selesky said. “It scared me worse.”
Selesky's home was one of at least three damaged by the strong storm as winds knocked down several large trees and took down a few power lines, according to Edgewater Fire Chief Stephen Cousins. Crews from Florida Power & Light were in the area working to restore power Thursday. And more than 100 homes in the area were without power, according to FPL's power map.
“We’re not exactly sure the spacial extent of the winds, but it was definitely a downburst with straight-line winds,” said Meteorologist Jessie Smith of the National Weather Service of Melbourne.
By that, Smith meant that the storm hasn't been classified as a tornado, but it was stronger than a microburst. She said the severe weather alert the NWS issued had gusts around 60 mph.
“Basically, it’s like a microburst because you have a lot of rain and a lot of wind in one concentrated area,” Smith said. “But it’s a larger spacial scale than a microburst.”
That could be why Charlie Suit said he heard nothing when the storm came through and knocked down a wooden picket fence in his backyard.
There were several large tree limbs surrounding the fence, but Suit’s wife Snookie said: “We were real lucky.”
She pointed back across the lawn to Selesky’s yard as at least 11 people made short work of the massive downed trees entangled in three cars along the street and large limbs atop the roof.
“They got hit the hardest over there,” Snookie Suit said.
At the Needle Palm Drive owned by her boyfriend Richard Guy, Selesky comforted dog Gracie in her arms as she showed the damage — a sawed-off branch bore a hole in the bedroom and chunks of tree and attic insulation peeked through a 10-foot by 5-foot void in Guy’s sunroom ceiling while he guided cleanup crews in the house.
City crews will investigate to determine if the house still able to be occupied, Cousins said.
Gracie was shaken up, too, as the pup lay on the bed with Selesky when the tree made its unannounced entrance.
At least two other homes in the 2600 block of Lime Tree Drive sustained damages as well. Debris could be seen strewn throughout about a 3-by-10-block area in the neighborhood.
Mark King and other neighbors were outside helping to get foliage and limbs picked up.
As he drove his lawn tractor west, King described the storm.
“It was raining so hard. You couldn’t see anything,” he said.
Hurricane Matthew heads for Jamaica packing strong windsHurricane Matthew has weakened slightly as it moves towards Jamaica, but is still packing winds of up to 250km/h (155mph), strong enough to wreck houses, forecasters say.
It is now a category four storm, the US National Hurricane Center says, after earlier reaching the top category five on a scale of intensity.
MPs are due to discuss preparations. The storm may make landfall by Monday.
Jamaica's southern coast is expected to be hit first.
The capital, Kingston, is located in the area, as is the country's only oil refinery.
Officials have warned the high winds could also batter the island's main tourist areas including Montego Bay in the north.
"The government is on high alert," the prime minister's director of communications was quoted as saying by Reuters.
"We hope that the hurricane does not hit us, but if it does hit us, we are trying our very best to ensure that we are in the best possible place," Robert Morgan said
Local emergency teams as well as the police and army are on standby, while shelters are being set up throughout the island, Mr Morgan said.
As the storm approaches many Jamaicans are stocking up on water and food.
Tropical storm warnings have also been issued for parts of coastal Colombia and Haiti over the weekend.
Haitian authorities say the priority is to protect the southern islands of the country, whose inhabitants they have described as "first at risk", according to AFP news agency.
Forecasters said up to 38cm (15 ins) of rain could fall across Jamaica and on southern Haiti.
While Jamaica was damaged by Hurricane Gilbert in 1988, the last major storm in the region was Hurricane Sandy in 2012.
Matthew could be the most powerful storm to hit the island since records began, meteorologist Eric Holthaus said on Twitter.
Flooding leads to state of emergency in Windsor, Tecumseh, Ont.
City received reports of 700 flooded homes and businesses
Mayors in Windsor and Tecumseh, Ont., declared a state of emergency for their communities after massive flooding hit the region Thursday.
More than 190 millimetres of rain fell in Tecumseh, while 80.8 millimetres of rainfall was recorded in Windsor between 9 p.m. Wednesday and 5 p.m. Thursday.
Another 70 millimetres is expected to hit the region Thursday evening and into Friday, and a flood warning remains in effect.
"This is beyond the reasonable capacity of the city to handle," Windsor Mayor Drew Dilkens said at a news conference Thursday afternoon. "It's beyond the capacity of the residents to handle."
Dilkens said damage to homes and businesses will be overwhelming, and he plans to ask senior levels of government for help.
Basements and streets in Windsor and Tecumseh flooded as rain pummelled the region. Dilkens and Tecumseh Mayor Gary McNamara said they have never seen a storm like this one.
Windsor, Ont., Mayor Drew Dilkens said damage to homes and businesses will be overwhelming, and he plans to ask senior levels of government for help.
"This wasn't a one-in-10-year storm. It wasn't even a one-in-100-year storm," Dilkens said.
"I've never seen anything that intense in the 35 years I've been in this region," McNamara said. "This is unprecedented."
Windsor received 700 flood-related calls to its 311 service centre, which saw call volumes triple the normal level. Dilkens reminded residents to keep calling if they get a busy signal. The 311 service centre will continue accepting calls until 11 p.m. Thursday.
Dilkens speaks to reporters while declaring a state of emergency for the City of Windsor.
Windsor's fire department reported responding to 92 incidents during the storm.
Hundreds of residents in the communities reported flooding in their basements. John and Matilda Adams first discovered flooding at 7:30 a.m. They tried using two pumps to clear the water at their home, but that wasn't enough. Eventually they had to install four pumps in an effort to keep the water at bay.
Basement flooding in Windsor, Tecumseh storm2:18
"We tried to do our best," John Adams said. "But we couldn't keep up. We were just panicking really."
"What can you do when something like this happens?" Matilda Adams said.
Dilkens wants to tap into a provincial emergency fund to help those residents, saying officials will apply to see if the city is eligible. With more rain in the forecast Friday, Dilkens said provincial inspectors would likely assess the situation when the storm moves through on the weekend.
"We want to do everything we can. We're not shirking our responsibilities," he said.
Flood-related phone calls are overwhelming Windsor's 311 service centre.
Dozens missing after Typhoon Megi triggers major landslide in China (VIDEO)
Chinese news outlets are reporting that around 30 people are missing after Typhoon Megi struck the east of the country on Wednesday, less than a day after battering nearby Taiwan.
The typhoon made landfall at Quanzhou city in Fujian province in the early hours of Wednesday morning bringing winds of up to 118km per hour, China Central Television (CCTV) reports.
Heavy rainfall and powerful winds were widespread in the southeast of the country. The treacherous conditions triggered landslides in Secun village, Zhejiang on Wednesday evening, destroying more than 20 houses and leaving at least 27 people missing, according to Xinhua news agency.
At least four people were killed and more than 500 injured when the typhoon barreled through northeastern Taiwan on Tuesday. Almost 4 million homes were left without electricity and nearly 300,000 houses were without water, Taiwan's Central News Agency said.
Megi is the 17th typhoon this year and it comes less than three weeks after Super Typhoon Meranti wrecked havoc in the Philippines, Taiwan and China.

1.2 km height for this sandstorm, look at the video:
The city of Phoenix in Arizona was again plunged into darkness by the passage of a new sandstorm ( "haboob").
The haboobs occur several times a year in the desert regions of the United States, especially in spring and summer. In a hot and dry environment (30 to 35 ° C these days in Phoenix), sand storm on Tuesday was pushed by moderate winds of 65 km / h. The sandstorm rose to about 1.2 km high, enough to plunge the city of Phoenix in the dark as shown in the illustration photo and video below.

South Australia without power as severe thunderstorms unleash chaos
The state, which is about one and a half times the size of France and with a population of some 1.7 million, experienced torrential rainfall and hail stones. A massive storm struck with destructive wind gusts of up to 140 km per hour (87 mph). The Bureau of Meteorology said the situation was a complete chaos with trees being torn down and roofs ripped out. Thousands of homes and business were without power and cars were gridlocked on flooded streets. The traffic lights also stopped working.
The authorities said this was one of the most intense storms to hit the state in recent years.
Jay Weatherill, South Australia's Premier said the duration of the outage was "unknown". He urged people to avoid travel and said authorities sought to restore the network "in the coming hours".
"At this stage we're still gathering information about the cause, but it appears that there was a weather event which has damaged infrastructure in the Port Augusta region," Weatherill told local ABC radio.
He also added that the grid had shut down to protect itself after a "dramatic drop in frequency" in the power network.
SA Power Networks is responsible to run the electricity distribution network of the state. It tweeted on Wednesday saying that South Australians should "brace for extended outages and ensure you conserve mobile device battery".
"We're experiencing a statewide outage and have no supply from the upstream transmission network," SA Power Networks added.
Weather officials forecast that the stormy conditions will continue through Thursday.
Federal Energy Minister Josh Frydenberg told Sky News that "serious questions" would be raised about this situation. He said people would surely ask how a major state's entire electricity supply could be pummelled by a severe storm.
Dozens injured, thousands without power as Typhoon Megi hits Taiwan
Typhoon Megi slammed into the coast of northeast Taiwan on Tuesday, injuring dozens and leaving almost a million homes without power.
At least 38 people had been reported injured on Tuesday afternoon, just hours after the tropical storm made landfall, according to Taiwan's Central News Agency.
Almost 1,000,000 homes were without power in the storm's wake, after some 38 inches (1000 millimeters) of rain fell in Yilan County.
The typhoon is the third storm system to hit the island in two weeks, lashing Taiwan with winds up to 143 miles per hour (230 kilometers per hour).
The typhoon made landfall at 1.30 p.m. (1.30 a.m. ET) on the island's less heavily populated east coast.
"Winds and flooding rain continue to be a problem with this system," CNN meteorologist Michael Guy said. "Landslides are also a major concern with the typhoon."
Flooding, high winds possible in China
After tearing through Taiwan, the typhoon -- equivalent to a category three hurricane in the Atlantic -- is expected to weaken and make a second landfall in Fujian, eastern China, 24 hours later.
"The storm will continue to batter Taiwan for at least the next 12 hours before moving out to the Taiwan Straits and making a second landfall over China as a weak typhoon or a tropical system on Wednesday afternoon," Guy said.
He added flooding rains could continue to be a problem for the mainland of China as typhoon Megi passes over.
Storm chaser James Reynolds, who is in the eastern city of Hualien, said that winds were picking up and surges of sea water were consuming the port's sea wall.
Work, classes canceled ahead of landfall
Work and classes were canceled across Taiwan as the typhoon closes in, according to Taiwan's government, while the Central Weather Bureau has issued warnings for "extremely torrential rain" in some counties.
Taiwan's stock exchange is also closed and all domestic flights and high-speed rail services have been canceled, according to the officialCentral News Agency.
Typhoon Megi will be the third typhoon to hit Taiwan in September. Typhoon Meranti killed two people and injured 63 in the island's south on September 14, and then typhoon Malakas drenched Taiwan's north on September 16.
Typhoon Meranti was the strongest storm seen in the region since 2013, leaving hundreds of thousands of Taiwanese homes damaged or without power in its wakes.
Winter arrives early in eastern Turkey as season’s first snowfall recorded
Winter arrived early in eastern Turkey's Erzurum province as the city center saw the season's first snowfall on Friday as temperatures in the city fell below one degree celsius.
Snowfall is not unusual for Erciyes, Kösedağ or Arkut, the mountain regions of Turkey in September. But the change in weather still came as a bit of a shock to inhabitants of the highest city of Turkey when they woke up to their city center covered in a layer of snow.
The major ski centers in the country have also already recorded the season's first snow. The snow depth in Erzurum's Palandöken Ski Center now stands at 12 centimeters, while another ski resort, Kartalkaya, has also received significant snowfall.
