Wow!! Mother Nature has really been acting up, flexing her muscles lately, what with the earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, etc. I just spotted a bunch of photos of the volcanic eruption in Iceland, and they are beyond awesome. It really puts some perspective on our pitiful labors/efforts on this beautiful blue planet. How can anything compare with such elemental fury?

It's chaos here over in the UK airports. They've ALL been shut! No flights in and out of the UK until 7pm this evening I'm told!

Mother Nature is a powerful beast!

Wherever I choose to be.....
Personally, I think mother nature is just flat out pissed off at us humans for all the crap we've put her through throughout the decades since the industrial revolution. She's mad as hell and she aint takin' it anymore.......

I've never experienced the earthquake thing like you California guys have. I would probably be clinging to the ceiling like a frightend cat.
It's hurricane's in my neck of the woods. There never pleasant.

I wish I knew how to link my regular yahoo sh*t to other sites, Batwoman, but I don't. I'm still trying to figure out how to make a basic link.

East Coast US over here, we don't get much except for the occasional blizzard and hurricanes. Nothing dramatic like tornadoes, tsunamis, volcanoes, etc. However, I have a feeling we are about to get hit with something big because we've seem to not have taken a hit yet.

Hey, man. Those East coast noreasters can be more fearsome than your average hurricane.

In your face
Just by looking at this latest volcano one can understand that good old mother nature has been through a lot worse things than infestations by human beings. She cleans herself up and goes right along.Just maybe we don't have as big an effect on mother nature than we thought we had. This is just one small volcano. What if two larger one erupted at the same time; bye bye global warming! (AND HUMANS?)

Mother nature has a penis and it needs to be exercised.

Maybe if we all stopped polluting, she wouldnt be so pissed.

Use your bicycle instead of using your car.

Quit wasting water. Quit being lazy and start thinking about the environment.

Most places in America DO NOT HAVE RECYCLING FACILITIES...From a Canadian or a European point of view, not recycling your plastic and aluminum is a crime against the world.

Sorry, just my two cents. It is the reality.

Experienced two earthquakes on the East Coast, minor ones, one in Jersey and one in the Central Hudson region. Remember the third largest earthquake in the US took place in So. Carolina in the late 19th century. The Adirondack fault has built up 12 inches of pressure and is all set to go. Won't be much damage as the area is thinly populated.

Oh yes don't forget the flooding in the Southern Tier of New York three forty year floods in the since 1972.

On further thought on earthquakes, there seems to be a casual connection between the alignment of the planets, and the moon with earth.

I think the largest earthquake in the continental U.S. (outside of Alaska) took place on the New Madrid fault (I hope I got that right), in southern Illinois and adjacent Missouri many hundreds of years ago, before the Europeans arrived on the continent, devastating the primaeval forest there. When that fault slips again, the people in the St. Louis area are in for some rockin' and rollin'.

The natural disasters we've seen are nothing compared to what is coming. This coming Hurricane season WILL BE catastrophic. Seismic activity is increasing, and will be worst; seismic activity is directly related with Volcanic activity, since all comes down to tectonic plates relocation.

There are some other creepy things that average humans are not aware of it, and if they've heard, they don;t care. They never watch news, nothing. Do you all remember that Airbus that went down in the Atlantic ocean after taking off from Brazil going to Europe? Nobody ever talked about anymore, nobody asked about it anymore. Some said it was a heavy storm, lightning strike, etc...bullshit. So called "scientists" and governments know pretty well the cause. A couple years ago, NASA discovered some weird perturbation in the planet's electro magnetic field. When they sent satellites to analyze the behavior of the field, they discover huge irregularities still unexplained. There are holes opening and closing, HUGE holes that open and close in a matter of hours. The biggest hole is over the Atlantic ocean. Not having protection from the electromagnetic field, has catastrophic consequences from solar winds. For example, if an airplane pass under this hole while solar rays are coming in, ALL the electronic equipment will fail; most of them toasted like bread. The result, plane goes down.

Absolutely correct, 1813 to be exact. Collapsed scaffolds around the capitol in DC, rang church bells in Boston, and changed the course of the Mississippi River. It was a mid plate, or failed riff earthquake. No way to even know it was coming.
