BREAKING NEWS: A Powerful Magnitude 6.2 Earthquake has just struck Argentina. This comes on the heels of a 7.8 Earthquake that struck New Zealand earlier today generating reports of at least one small Tsunami and continues to reel from strong aftershocks. Be aware that we are about to witness a Supermoon that will be the closest to the Earth than it has been since 1948. The same year that Israel was re-born as a Nation. The largest, brightest full moon in nearly seven decades will be on display in the coming days, promising Earth-bound sky-watchers a celestial “supermoon” spectacle. The full moon will come nearer to Earth than at any time since 1948, astronomers said. At closest approach, which occurs at 6:23 a.m. EST on Monday, the moon will pass within 216,486 miles (348,400 km) of Earth’s surface, about 22,000 miles (35,400 km) closer than average, they added.
A “supermoon” occurs when a new or full moon is at or near (within 90 percent of) its closest approach to Earth in a given orbit. This is the definition provided by Astrologer Richard Nolle, who gave this phenomenon its name in 1979. There is many that speculate that there is a correlation with Supermoons and Strong earthquakes because of the magnetic pull it causes on the Earth. One example is the assessment from an article written by Nolle where he pointed out that the last “supermoon” in 2011 was in effect Feb. 12-21, just before the earthquake that left Christchurch, New Zealand in ruins on Feb. 22, 2011. Nolle also stated that the last extreme “supermoon” occurred on Jan. 30, 2010, several weeks after the catastrophic earthquake that hit Haiti on Jan. 12, 2010. Paquette also pointed out in his blog that the devastating earthquake and tsunami that hit Indonesia on Dec. 26, 2004 occurred about two weeks prior to a “supermoon” on Jan. 10, 2005. With this being said it wouldn’t hurt to be prepared for strong Earthquakes if you live in on or near an active fault line. – Source
6 foot waves, eh? C’mon now. Typo or ignorance? Now 60 foot waves…..that’s the stuff for real worry mate!
I know a family in Auckland New Zealand. No damage there I guess it happened in Northern New Zealand. And another 6.5 earlier today. They haven’t even rebuilt Christ Church from 5 years ago is what my friend told me today. That is a damn shame and the New Zealand government should be ashamed of themselves. They need to reinforce the areas where the fault is. From what I understand there is already a housing shortage and housing is very expensive. It wouldn’t be if they didn’t let every Foreigner in the world come over there and buy it up. That is terrible that the natives of New Zealand have to pay high taxes and outrageous housing prices because their government cannot come with a better plan 2 give and protect the native people of New Zealand who have given everything for their country and pay the high taxes that are demanded of them. It is a shame that the government has taken advantage of the people for so long. Allowing the Maury people to come in and take over so much that is by law truly not theirs. I am learning a lot about New Zealand and I would not put up with that from my government. I feel bad for the people of New Zealand will have to tolerate this type of behavior from the government. Very low wages and extremely high taxes. What is wrong with that picture? That’s not good for any country, and how can the people survive much longer? Are they sure they don’t have Obama for their president? LOL LOL. That’s my stance. From the Buckeye state. Retired USN
