East Coast Earthquakes

Here in VA were really not known for earthquakes but here recently we are getting more and more which seem to be getting higher each time.  But the one today isn't on earthquake 3D nor was it posted any where else even though many witnessed it.  Just hope its not a peek into what is to come.

"It swept inland about six miles (10 kilometers) in some areas, swallowing boats, homes, cars, trees and everything else."

"The tsunami was unbelievably fast," said Koichi Takairin, a 34-year-old truck driver who was inside his sturdy four-ton rig when the wave hit the port town of Sendai."

Another article said that the tsunami was moving at about 500 mph, the speed of a jetliner.

Compared to what's coming, this was a relatively small tsunami.  If you are on or near a coastline, you need to evacuate NOW!

Riometer and Earthquakes

The HAARP riometer is showing a lot of activity.

http://137.229.36.30/cgi-bin/riometer/riom2_sel.cgi?absorb=onhttp://137.229.36.30/cgi-bin/riometer/riom2_sel.cgi?absorb=on&pstyle=log&me>&pstyle=log&meas=on&qdc=on&pwidth=1M&latest=on&endTime=20110312

The riometer shows the amount of ionospheric absorption. What this means, to me, is the ionosphere has been stripped of a lot of its charge (due to the cloud of protons passing the planet right now). The negative charge that was, now needs to be replaced. The Earth's surface has a negative charge. This surface charge is absorbed by the ionosphere and thus creates currents within the crust. These currents cause different kinds of effects in the chemistry of faults, some of which have mechanical results. The
currents can also heat up magma or change its viscosity. This means there will be an increase in large quakes and volcanic activity.

This is particularly true when we get a strong X Clase flare directed at the Earth after a prolonged period of quiet (four year solar minimum).

There are many variables to consider with regard to the chemistry of the Earth at different locations. But in my experience, there will be a particularly strong quake in the South Pacific Islands (maybe two or three), followed by a series of M7 quakes in Taiwan/Japan, Kamchatka, Aleutian Islands/Alaska, and the west coast of the Americas. It generally follows in that sequence as though the entire Pacific Ocean is being pressed down in a rotating motion.

I would expect the fireworks to start within the next 72 hours and continue for a few weeks or more.

Magnetosphere is showing it, as well as the earthquakes in the South Pacific and the visitors are observing....the eclipse is tomorrow, July 11th.

Subject: Solar Activity Surges on the Eve of South Pacific Eclipse
Space Weather News for July 10, 2010
A LIVELY SOLAR ECLIPSE: Fast-growing sunspot 1087 is crackling with C-class solar flares. A spectacular eruption recorded by the Solar Dynamics Observatory is featured on today's edition of Spaceweather. com. This surge in activity comes on the eve of a total eclipse of the sun over the South Pacific. Will eclipse chasers see material blasting away from the sun when the Moon hides the blinding stellar surface? It's a possibility. Stay tuned to http://spaceweather.com for updates and pictures from the path of totality. SUNSET CONJUNCTION: Look west at sunset. Venus is passing by 1st magnitude star Regulus. They're only a little more than a degree apart. Bright Venus catches the eye first. As the glow of sunset fades, Regulus pops out of the twilight a little below Venus. The view through binoculars is superb.
