Actually I haven't the foggiest, to coin a phrase, or to put it another
way after watching the late BBC apology for a weather view:

As with my previous comment on the subject vis a vis foggy weather,
dissipation of occlusions, closely packed isobars and changes of phase
of the moon following runs of successively similar weather sells; there
is going to be another large magnitude earthquake very, very soon.

Fuckwits insist that I have to fit it in a window. Can meteorologists,
with all the power and the  might of their departments of defence give
a window for lightning strikes? Had the lightning conductor not been
invented there wouldn't have been a cat in hell's chance.

Today, they are to be congratulated if they get the whereabouts of
thunderstorms in such windows. Here is the window for seismic events:

Anytime now!

There is imminent danger looming, so pass the word around to budding
coal miners, aviation enthusiasts and would be earthquake predictors
that The Weatherlawyer has spoken once more.

Scour the world's weather maps for close isobars and occluded fronts,
search the various data bases that you all had time to set up to prove
me wrong. AND TELL TO ME THAT THE NEXT  7M PLUS IS NOT ON ITS WAY.

(Or not as the case may be.)

Do you always top post or is it just that you feeling lazy the day you
made this post?

Too lazy to do an internet search.

I have read nearly all of his posts. He seems quite gifted if a little
too abrasive for some of the fools he sems to feel that he has to deal
with. Perhaps if he could just learn to ignore them it might help him
improve his temper and his health?

I was looking too, at the Eric Hablich website that shows the tracks of
extant hurricanes. It would seem then, that his connecting the misty
weather in Britain to the generation of hurricanes in the Norht
Atlantic might well be extended to other regions when the official N
Atlantic hurricane season is over.

No doubt he will be making the claim that that is what he has always
said, or intended to convey all along.

Or not as the case may be. One has to admit that it is an amazing
coincidence.

What do you think about his latest idea about the location of near
equatorial cyclones and earthquakes? Too ridiculous to invite comment?

Not in this case may I suppose.

He fully expected that the change in the weather at the start of the
spell would do the job.

And had it, it would really have been interesting. However, shipwrecks
and Canadian coal mine disasters aside, that experience has been
ameliorated somewhat by the two or more cyclones in the southern
hemisphere (which as it happens conform to his teaching as of several
years ago.)

Still active between continental Africa and Mocambique; Boloetse has
already crossed that island and is due to hit it again or pass the
southern tip tomorrow or the day after -coincidentally the day slated
by the BBC to change for the better in the UK.
http://satellite.ehabich.info/hurricane-watch.htm

Should it delay until the next spell however (on the 5th at 06:29) the
upshot of it would indicate yet more cyclonic activity rather than
heinous seismicity.

Whichever turns out to be true, it will be by no means, a small thing.
In fact expect both and prepare for worse while a BLiar and a Chimp are
masters of the north!

My reasoning on this is that the "weather forecasters"<spit> will have
got it wrong </clears throat> and that whilst dull stands the wind for
Britain, the <spit> weather forecasters' </clears throat> getting it
wrong and the climax of the synergy, would indicate a large mag quake.
(If both then it might be an idea to look at a confluence of two oceans
for the epicentres.)

I believe that the NEIC site has sorted out its installation of
computer software -at the moment. Until then, this link will keep you
abreast of matters:

More info here:

There is an interesting site here:
http://australiasevereweather.com/cyclones/index.html That has
collected data on the past seasns in the southern seas.

Meanwhile I am continuing to learn. (Mainly geography today.) I seem to
have had it in my nut that the Island of Madagascar was called
something else.

Beats me what.

Yes I'm sure the next magnitude 7 is on its way at some point in the
future, there's usually one every year or so. Well done, have your
Cub/Scout "Earthquake prediction" badge.

If you're so confident about yourself and your predictions, why are you
cowering behind a behind a pseudonym?

I suppose it's routine for god to diabuse his less than humble servants
of their omnipotence (oh hell, suppose I am in the same boat as acretin
well known chimpanzee!!!) It still hurts though.

Well, it serves me right. I promised a bunch of fireworks for this last
set of spells and they
never matured. I've got to say that I feel dumb. Worse still, I have to
write some sort of a follow up.

As of last night when it became obvious it was time to hang myself,
there was absolutely nothing showing anywhere. Absolutely blank:

Here is the volcano news for the same period.

For the whole week from the first of February:

An ash cloud emitted from Cleveland was detected on satellite imagery
on 6 February. The ash cloud detached from the volcano and there was no
indication of continuous ash emission. Ash had largely dissipated on
satellite imagery by 13:41.

This is from the week before:

After several days with no ash emissions and relatively low seismicity,
Augustine erupted again on 27 January. The eruption lasted about 9
minutes. An eruption at 23:37 lasted 1 minute.

Augustine was in a state of continuous eruption from 28 January through
31 January. The activity was characterized by steady ash emission and
small pyroclastic flows. Also, ash-and-steam clouds rose from
pyroclastic flows on the N flank of the volcano.

Hardly a preposessing report is it? In fact it is rather a hard smack
in the gob for me.

Good job I can take it.

But it would be nice to know what the hell is going on.

As it happens I just asked him.

All I got for an answer was this:
MAP    4.2     2006/02/23 02:40:55    -21.498    33.515    10.0    MOZAMBIQUE

MAP    7.5     2006/02/22 22:19:09    -21.215    33.337    10.0    MOZAMBIQUE

And I'm buggered if I can understand it!

However it is interesting to note that there is more than one serious
research unit out there that is trying to fit the pieces together
without making them fit. I dare say that the lack of funds will serve
as good as the depth of our preceding ignorance to hold things back.

I get a picture of the angels in the Appocalypse, holding back the four
winds.

I think that this year would be a most propitious one for restarting.
