I've missed several days of blogging due to an important writing project deadline which I had to work extra time on to complete. Things have been popping so I'll get right into it.
Earthquake Report
I'll start with the Earthquake Report because some big ones occurred back on Saturday and have been continuing.
Saturday morning, my wife and I were awoken by an earthquake. After investigating, I found out it was from a 6.2 quake that occurred in Chile on the Chile/Peru border some 1,800 miles away. Also, on Saturday, a 6.6 occurred in the South Sandwich Islands.
Yesterday, a 7.2 occurred off the coast of Japan near Honshu just east of Sendai city, causing a sunami warning to be issued, although a large sunami wasn't anticipated.
Today, three more large quakes occurred in the Honshu area, the first a 6.0, the second a 6.1 and the third a 6.3.
In the past 24 hours, 34 earthquakes have occurred worldwide registering a 4.0 or higher.

There is obviously some underlying pressure being experienced by the planet which is resulting in these major and increased number of earthquakes. The following entry goes on to build on this comment.
Hawaii's Kilauea Increasing Activity
Hawaii's Kilauea volcano opened a new 1.5 mile fissure over the weekend. It is now spewing 5 times more lava and 25 times more sulfur dioxide gas than it was before this event. Some lava fountains are shooting 245 feet into the sky.
Although there is no immediate threat to humans, the concern is that the tradewinds will change and the toxic gas will be blown towards populated areas causing "headaches, breathing difficulties, increased susceptibility to repiratiry ailments, watery eyes and sore throat."

I reported earlier that the lava dome of this volcano had risen higher than ever recorded and now this fissure has opened up. Again, definately some internal Earth pressures being experienced.
As I've said before, my theory is that the Earth is entering the Galactic Plane where it is experiencing an increased amount of energy from the center of the galaxy. This is in conjunction with the sun heating up (I'm sure from the same occurrance) and hitting the Earth with more of its energy. These two events are supercharging the Earth's core, causing it to expand and create more severe and frequent earthquakes and volcanic events.
Another Polar Ice Melt Report Released
Another report has been released adding strength to previous reports that the polar ice caps are melting faster than previously believed. New satellite data and climate models are revealing that the polar ice caps are melting enough each year to raise the global ocean water level by 1.3mm.
This new research suggests that the ice caps are melting much faster than models are predicting (duh!). Furthermore, if the present melting trends continue, by 2050 the oceans could see a rise of 5.9 inches and, by the end of the 21st century, the levels could be to 22 inches.
The interesting part of this report is that the Big Brains acknowledge (for a change) that these figures are probably underestimated (as usual) due to rises in global warming, expansion of sea waters due to the Earth's heating up and glacier melt which will all compound the problem.
This report is due to be officially published in The Journal in a few days.

Southern US Pounded By Tornadoes and Flooding Caused by Heavy Rains
The Southeastern US has been pommelled by strong storms which produced tornadoes and heavy rains. Alabama, Mississippi and Louisianna sustained excessive damage from the twisters and flooding with Alabama and Lousianna declaring a state of emergency.
The storms are moving to the northeast and New Jersey is expecting a 'significant event', preparing for severe flooding there.

Storm Weary Queesland Australia Gets Hit by a Cyclone
A cyclone landed in Queensland carrying with it heavy monsoon rains which caused flash flooding in many parts of the region. Cardwell was especially hard hit even as it was trying to recover from a direct hit by Cyclone Yasi back in February. Over 8 inches of rain fell there in a 24 hour period causing extensive flooding.

A List of 23 Governments Which Could Fall Due To Rising Food Prices
This was an interesting article I came across on Monday (published Friday, March 5). The UN just released a report revealing 23 countries which are likely to destabilize very soon if the cost of food continues to climb due to climate change and other factors.
Already, the world food banks are at a crisis level with food prices reaching an all time high in February. The current upheaval in the Middle East is being largely attributed to the escalating food prices and lack of employment. The report says that things could get much worse if prices continue to climb, causing numerous countries to crumble.
Egypt and Tunisia are on the list and they have already seen an overthrow of government. Lybia, too, makes the cut and is currenty going through a bloody revolution which could even result in US and UN intervention. Others like China, Algeria, Lebanon and Morocco are experiencing increased protests and political upheaval. Check out the list via the following link to see the rest of the threatened countries in the report.

That's it for today's update.. and is actually quite enough. Earth changes are progressing very rapidly, and it is my personal belief that it will take an outside intervention to at least save some of humanity from total destruction.
Therefore, I leave you with this: Keep your eyes to the skies!
And... tulest teh eh dasse... listen to the wind!
G'nite!
