We in New Zealand are in the period of very little earthquake activity at
the moment. This is usually the period where the pressure is building up to
a sudden large earthquake.

Too often people have said that as there is not much earthquake activity
then it must be over. Most were saying this last December just before
Christchurch got hit with a mag 6.0 earthquake on 23rd Dec.

Some say that earthquakes don't build up pressure, I tend to disagree with
this as the history of earthquakes last year have shown that before a large
earthquake comes a period of very little earthquake activity.

It's more a question of where and when will the next earthquake strike.

Canterbury has earthquakes that are not very deep in the ground compared to
other parts of New Zealand so they are felt with more force.

You are going to get hit again. Immigrate to California. They are better
prepared than NZ. Or immigrate to EQ free Arizona. Low taxes in Arizona.

or I could move to Australia that does not have an earthquake belt going
through it.
Sometimes I wonder if we (people in Christchurch) are playing a game of
Russian roulette or maybe Christchurch is like a scuttle in a bowling lane
waiting to be badly hit. We don't have a warning device if a Tsunami is
about to strike the coast. The people want it but I think the cost is why
it has not been built.

In the mean time more buildings are being pulled down and still no one can
go into the red zone which is the centre of Christchurch. Roads are
continuously being repaired. People play the guessing game of what
building use to be where there is now bare land. No plans have been made on
how the city is going to be rebuilt.

There is nothing on any of these charts to show that there is an
amazing series of doom pending:
2nd

5.1 M. @ 20:26:31 Vanuatu
5.1 M. @ 19:44:36 Vanuatu
5.2 M. @ 17:28:48 Vanuatu
5.5 M. @ 17:27:07 Vanuatu
5 M. @ 16:04:46 Vanuatu
5.3 M. @ 13:57:08 Vanuatu
7.1 M. @ 13:34:41 Vanuatu
5.5 M. @ 09:32:16 New Britain, Png
5 M. @ 09:16:18 New Ireland, Png
5.4 M. @ 06:46:32 New Britain, Png
5 M. @ 02:48:07 West Of Macquarie Island

Unless...

When a storm reaches its maximum intensity, it also reaches its
maximum distance. It reaches a shoreline.

Coincidence; or the design printed on the planet by god; that Is What
Happens.

And you can see it happening in advance by means of forecast maps.

We don't have that luxury with anticyclones. They come down from the
sky and bring with it cold air.
Usually the temperature aloft is 70 degrees centigrade -and more,
below zero.

As it falls it compresses and as it compresses it warms. That is the
pressure temperature law of gasses.

In winter the compression doesn't help a lot. In summer it brings very
nice low humidity sunny warm weather.

What we have had and with plenty of warning of it too is an
anticyclone of remarkable proportions. In the upper atmosphere it
reached Mongolia. And here on these charts it reached out far into the
Atlantic almost to the Mid Atlantic ridge.

And began to break up.

Just when it seemed about to join forces with the Azores High and take
over the world, it started to break apart.

Since the massive quake last March in Japan, I have been on the look
out for such anomalies. And here at last we have the opportunity to
study it in detail.

But speaking of anomalies, I have been posting on the internet for
many years about them and earthquakes.
While it is true I didn't know as much about them as I could have or
should have, I was at least talking about the subject.

And despite the majority detractors harrying me ad hominem, I can
safely say that they too were aware of that aspect of things shown
here.

So why aren't they now taking a closer look?

Given the choice of living under a tarpaulin in NZ or arriving
destitute in California or Arizona, anybody in their right mind
would start learning to work a campstove.

As Brecht put it: God was originally planning to create both heaven
and hell. But he decided it was easier to just create Los Angeles.
Which was heaven if you had money and hell if you didn't.

What if you just had enough to get by, with a fairly good job say and
a pernicious illness.

Or what if you were the wrong colour?

Christchurch doesn't have roller coasters, it has earthquakes instead
(grin).
