Natural and World events ( non political stuff )

This might be a good movie. It takes a look at the weather forecasters who were behind the decision to launch the D Day invasion of France in 1944. I don't ever recall seeing a movie that combines history and meteorology which are two subjects that I have always had an interest in. I haven't been to a movie theater in years but if my wife is willing to go, I may have to go see this one.

Looking forward to this one. What got me interested in weather was talking to our technicians stationed with us in Iraq and Afghanistan. We dealt with so many bad sand storms during my 2006 deployment in Ramadi that these guys often had our lives in their hands. Those guys in the background never get the credit they deserve

Things like this are happening all over the planet the last several months. Volcanoes popping off all over, earthquakes, meteors doing odd things, massive explosions underground. Lights and plasma orbs being seen by people everywhere.

The frequency of the planet is going up as this is happening. I am sensitive to this type of energy and my body has been all out of whack especially when solar storms of this magnitude hit us

How do yoy compensate? Is there anything you can take or does something else help?

Grounding helps and meditation which for me is more breathwork which comes naturally to me from my service days. I also bought a mini rife machine that creates frequencies that calm the nervous system right down. They have calming videos on YouTube that work great as well!

Just curious but are you sensitive to it as well and is it affecting you more than normal? I think a lot of people are feeling exhaustion, fatigue, anxiety at a higher level

No, it doesn't bother me...as far as I know. But lots of people say it affects them. I was just wondering if anything helped.

I hope the world repsonds quickly to this, there are probably thousands of people alive and trapped in the rubble. Unfortunately its likely many of them wont be saved in time.

Very tragic situation. I'm thinking the initial 7.2 weakened structures to make the 2nd 7.5 much more catastrophic.

Yeah the buildings were still moving from the first big shock when the stronger and longer one hit 40 secs later. Imagine what happened if the building was swaying counter the the direction the shock came from when it hit. Some of the videos coming out are terrifying with trapped people trying to be saved with little real equipment just people digging by hand.

I hate thinking out loud on this but 40 seconds, good lord. Can get out of a house sure--maybe a 2nd story apartment. High rise no chance.

Loss of life is going to be high I'm afraid. Some of these are huge buildings. Either apartments or hotels? Really bad.

Yea, apparently La Guaira where this was taken has a mix of hotels and high rise apartments. Closer to the epicenter and not far from Caracas, which I believe is where most of the media we've seen so far.

I agree--afraid loss of life will be extremely high. Probably tens of thousands.
