Dark Clouds Gathering over America?

[truthpaste]

Re: Dark Clouds Gathering over America?

Is there a precedent for two solar eclipses a few years apart crossing over a fault line, and an earthquake occuring in the year of the second eclipse?

If so, put some money on it. Bookies will happily accept it.

If not, what is based on?

A bit like the guy who sells his house and puts all his money on the end of the world you mean?
I think there may be a slight flaw in that limited material outlook on life.

On your first point, you are actually the first person to ask the correct questions:-

1. Is there an evidence that Solar eclipses have been married to noteable events on earth? (or to put it another way....)
2. Is there a correlation between unusual solar eclipses and big changes to the country or area that is touched by the path of darkness?

Total Eclipse Cornwall 1999 nothing happen then.

Total Eclipse Cornwall 1999 nothing happen then.

It just caught the edge of England, hardly comparable with a coast to coast event?
Also the fact that we all remember 1999 as THE key UK Eclipse of our lifetime shows how rare they can be.

So, Truthpaste - are you going to enlighten us then or not?

It's brightened up now in Grangetown. We were all getting worried but it seemed they were just rain clouds and not some pre-apocalyptic event.

Well it did go across a lot of Europe and in to Asia.

Looks like a coast to coast event to me.

Correct, it passed over Turkey on 11th August, then less than 1 week later this happened:-

17th Auhust 1999
A 7.4-magnitude 1999 İzmit earthquake named earthquake strikes İzmit, Turkey, killing more than 17,000 and injuring 44,000.

A crow landed on my mothers roof and she died a week later.
Any thing can be linked to any time scale to suit.

Any other examples to make this statistically significant?

It was probably Corvid.

Well let's see how this example stacks up against the figures in Europe per year throughout the 20th Century.

We discover HERE that in the 20th century, earthquakes accounted for more than 200,000 deaths and over 250 billion Euros in direct and indirect losses in Europe (EM-DAT).

That means an average of 2000 deaths each year between 1900AD and 2000AD throughout the whole of Europe.

So 17,000 deaths just 6 days after the Total Eclipse is certainly significant.

Thanks, I pride myself on asking the best questions.

You don't have to sell your house. A couple of hundred quid on an earthquake should get a good return.

So first it’s not comparable to a coast to coast event but now it is because a week later an earthquake killed 17,000 people?

What about other notable earthquakes? The 2004 Boxing Day earthquake that killed over 200,000 people was 5 weeks after a total solar eclipse in Antarctica.

The 2010 Haiti earthquake that killed 160,000 people happened 4 days before a solar eclipse in Africa. The most recent before that was 6 months before. Was this a very delayed reaction or a preemptive attack by the moon?

The 2008 Sichaun earthquake, with 90,000 deaths, was more than 3 months after a partial eclipse.

The earthquake in Turkey last year with 60,000 deaths was over 4 months after a partial eclipse in north Europe and Asia.

The 2005 Pakistan earthquake, with 90,000 deaths, was 5 days after a partial eclipse in Pakistan itself.

If the last one was caused in part by a partial eclipse, why don’t total eclipses cause death tolls that (excuse the pun) eclipse any of the others?

What’s the correlation between solar eclipses and Cardiff City wins? Or Cardiff City wins and subsequent earthquakes? Food for thought.
