Earthquake lights have appeared many times before big earthquakes. Maybe visible for 200 miles. Its gonna be a big one.

I'd evacuate myself.

... If i'm not wrong i believe there was a mass bird death in Chile before the earthquake that hit recently.

OP, I am wondering why piezoelectric forces only affect one species of bird.


?????
 Quoting: Profit 6

It didn't. Only the birds that died were th ebirds flying high enough to die on impact. The other birds in trees or on the ground didn't die. They were knocked out but woke up a flew off, alive.

This is better then my other theory. Which is a pocket of deadly gas was released into the atmosphere and killed the birds through inhalation. The pocket then quickly dispersed to harmless levels.

In that case, it would be a matter of time before one pocket of gas hits a populated region.

God, the terror it would create if an entire city was killed over night.

One article I read said there were booms off in the distance. In the first Madrid quake there were whole fields of sand blows. Something like the sand blows may have startled the birds and then they take off to get caught in the electric effect.

Interesting theory Crap. I posted in the animals acting strange thread where I shared that my animals were acting bizarre, the bunny, hamster & dog. I spent the day out back with my children playing. The whole bird thing made me want to watch them closely but the thing is that I couldn't. In the 3+ hours I spent outside, none were flying. I heard an occasional chirp but there were none flying or even sitting on the electrical wires. It's nice today and was even a little warm. I am in Oklahoma City btw. It really is like the birds are keeping a low profile.

Feels right to me.

But does this explain the fish too?
why were only bottom dwelling species affected if this is correct?

 Quoting: Mr. Toppit


Sand blows, or sand volcanos, are generated by liquification of the ground soil, which only happens during a quake, not before or after.

The booms could be anything, even kids chucking fireworks. (It's that time of the year...)

It may be related, or not.

Crap,

I think this is an EXCELLENT analysis.

Hey, think about all the watches they have made that are supposed to be really accurate because they have quartz crystal.

How Quartz Watches Work

by Douglas Dwyer



Dwyer, Douglas. "How Quartz Watches Work" 01 April 2000. HowStuffWorks.com. < [link to electronics.howstuffworks.com] 03 January 2011.
Inside this Article

1. Introduction to How Quartz Watches Work

4. Lots More Information
5. See all Clocks and Watches articles

quartz crystal
Quartz watches actually use quartz crystals to keep time. How can they be so accurate? Find out why quartz makes such a great time keeper. See pictures of amazing timepieces.

During the 1970s, the "quartz watch" burst onto the scene as the newest high-tech gadget. Initially, these watches had red LED displays and they cost around $500 in the United States. Since then, the quartz watch has evolved so that either an LCD or a traditional mechanical (hour and minute hand) movement displays the time, and the price has fallen dramatically. It is not uncommon to find quartz watches given away for free in boxes of cereal!



­Have you ever wondered why it is called a quartz watch? Or why quartz watches are so much more accurate than wind-up watches? In this edition of HowStuffWorks, you will learn all about the amazing electronic phenomenon called the quartz crystal and how it forms the heart of a quartz watch!

This is not bird flu, or any other disease. No disease works like this. Sudden, and on birds in flight. At the same time.

This is some kind of natural phenomenon. So far Crap has by far the most interesting theory.

And plausible aswell. hiding

If I lived in the area, I would definately take precautions.

Isn't possible that the tension in the earth is enough to create a discharge, yet insufficient to create an earthquake?

[link to en.wikipedia.org]

"Earthquakes that occur there potentially threaten parts of seven U.S. states: Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Mississippi."

Check the wikipedia article out. Some parts of indiana is probably safe from the EQ, but if it is a big one... The economic effects, as well as the humanitarian problems following, would be bad.

Here is by the way a video of the earthquake in Chile last year. The same light phenomenon could also be seen in for example an earthquake in Japan. In some other videos you can also see weird colors in the sky before an earthquake. National Geographic ran a very good documentary about these light phenomenons and the Hessdalen light. Scientists suspect it is some kind of discharge from the earth.

(The poster of the vid blames it on HAARP)

quartz is also used/was used sorry old..
in radios to set freq. witch is determined by shape , size and composition of the crystal

In the old days you'd go to radio shack to add channel to your scanner by buying new crystal and puttin' it in your self

them dam weed cops changed freq. all the time back in the old day's.......this was pre cell phone time mid -late 70's
