[quote:Anonymous Coward 25450407:MV8yMDgyNTM4XzM1MDc4MTEzXzU2OTgzNTEw] [quote:Concerned about Hawaii 25450407:MV8yMDgyNTM4XzM1MDc1NTY3X0VCRDcxN0NG] Not to add or detract from the credibility of this thread ... but anything about Hawaii, the Big Island in particular, being strange and out of the normal pops right to the top of my attention sensors. [b]In the big earthquake in '75 (7.2 size) the Big Island of Hawaii actually split and about 1/3 of it dropped towards the sea. [/b] Most only slid a few inches but parts of it dropped 20 to 40 feet. There is in fact now a visible rift across part of the island on top in one location where one part of the island can be seen to have physically pulled away from the other part of the island by 30 to 40 feet or so. ALL of the Islands in Hawaii have a history of splitting off parts and then having part of the island fall into the sea creating a [b]HUGE Pacific Wide Tsunami [/b]. Those events are estimated to happen once every 100,000 - 250,000 years or so. In fact there is now geological evidence that Australia HAS been hit with huge tsunamies in the past, ones large enought to rush past what is now Sydney and reach all the way to the Blue Mountains which start inland a few tens of miles. Because of my research into that slip on the Big Island in 1975, where part of the island started to slide into the sea AND THEN STOPPED after only traveling a few inches, anything that crops up that indicates anything geologically unusual wrt Hawaii (the Big Island) always catches my attention. It is because of my interest in the Hawaii situation that I have always paid attention to the work of a projection of a Global Coastal Event, a projection that has been around for a number of years now. [b]If you hear about a HUGE EQ hitting Hawaii and live anywhere near the Pacific Coast I would be heading up into the hills even before any indication of any issues with a tsunami. [/b] Once any huge tsunami indication occures traffic away from the coast will become a nightmare and one will basically be trapped. Other coasts (Atlantic - Europe as well as the US) will have a few more hours before anything would hit, but if it is big enough it WILL spill around the world, though with much much less impact. [/quote] link to more information on the 1975 Hawaii EQ: http://www.drgeorgepc.com/Tsunami1975Hawaii.html [i]The major earthquake of 29 November 1975 occurred east of the area that had been affected by the earthquake of 3 April 1868. The crustal movements involved uplift, subsidence and slope failure along the Hilina Slump of the Kilauea volcano, on the southern coast of the Island of Hawaii. A large crustal block slid horizontally towards the ocean and partly subsided, while the offshore area uplifted. [b]Maximum horizontal displacement of approximately 7.9 meters (26 feet) and vertical subsidence of approximately 3.5 meters (11.5 feet) occurred near Keahou Landing[/b]. The displacements decreased to the east and west. In fact, subsidence decreased rapidly to the west. At Punalu'u, the shoreline actually uplifted by about 10 centimeters (4 inches) (Pararas-Carayannis 1975). [b]Subsequent surveys determined subsidence of about 3 meters (9.8 feet) at Halape Park to the east. The large coconut grove area adjacent to the Beach Park subsided by as much as 3.0 and 3.5 meters (10-11.5 feet). [/b]Further to the east, the subsidence decreased to 1.1 meters (3.6 feet) at Kamoamoa, 0.8 meters (2.6 feet) at Kaimu, 0.4 meters (1.3 feet) at Pohoiki, and 0.25 meters (0.8 feet) at Kapoho. The coastline was not the only altered area. According to the Volcano Observatory of the U.S. Geological Survey, [b]even the summit of Kilauea subsided by about 1.2 meters (3.9 feet) and moved towards the ocean by about the same amount.[/b] A small, short-lived eruption took place inside Kilauea's caldera, apparently triggered by the earthquake. A better understanding of the pattern of displacements in the offshore region was deduced from inspection of the local tide gauge records of the tsunami. The records show an upward initial tsunami wave motion (see tide gauge records below). This indicates that the offshore portion of the displaced crustal block actually uplifted, as the onshore section subsided and moved outward. Also, this pattern of crustal movement indicates that the flank failure of Kilauea was not entirely due to gravitational effects of instability, but may have been partially caused by compressional lateral magma migration from shallow magmatic chambers of the volcano, or by lateral magmastatic forces along an arcuate failure surface, or along a secondary zone of crustal weakness on the upper slope of the Hilina Slump. In fact, recent paleomagnetic studies (Riley et al., 1999) show that differential rates of movement and rotation occur between sections of the Hilina Slump.[b] This would support that Kilauea's flank failures can be triggered by several mechanisms.[/b][/i] A nice BBC video about Volcanic Island collapses: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRsT77McdE8&feature=player_embedded [/quote]

So My Sister and her husband and my brother in law all go to Yuma in the winter. My other sister would not go this year because of 2012 and she's been watching things and is concerned about stuff. Her Husband went without her.
So he's a total non believer in everything. Thinks she's nuts but plays along with her prepping. Two days ago he and one of his buddy's are in having breakfast in Yuma. They are in a booth and the guys sitting right behind them are having a conversation about the Earthquakes that just happened of the California Coast. They listen in on the conversation cause they find it interesting.
My brother in law turns to the one guy and says " You seem to know alot about all this stuff"
The guy tells him he used to work for the USGS and is retired but still has freinds working there. So Brother in Law says " What do you think about this 2012 stuff"
The guy says this. That the Earthquakes that just happen off California has everybody worried. They happened in the Bedrock which is unusual. He also said that the Volcano in Hawaii is not acting right. That there is magma moving around not just in Hawaii.Everywhere. He said he could not get too specific because they themselves at the USGS don't really understand everything they are seeing right now or understand what it all means in the sceme of things. They do however find it rather disturbing.
The USGS guy also Winters in Yuma and he did say that he himself and wife are heading home to Montana. They were leaving the area on Monday. Getting away from the coast and that area.
My Brother in Law has decided to do the same thing. He's also heading back home for Alberta Monday also. He phoned my sister and said if that guy doesn't feel safe and is leaving so is he. Remember that he does not believe in this shit so he must of gotten his cage just a little rattled.
Take this story for what it is. I have no reason to lie. Just thought I would pass it along to my GLP Freinds.
