Supermoon tonight creating an increased threat of earthquakes, and looking ahead to a warm-up before a MAJOR cold snap!

Good evening! Thanks for looking at the blog. As the sun is setting, look far in the east and you will see the "supermoon." It will be sort of dim because of high clouds. This "supermoon" could cause some earthquakes that may be felt around here. Read this story from the European Union Times:

According to a tale making the rounds on the Internet, the Institute of Physics of the Earth told Prime Minister Putin that there will be another mega quake by the end of March 2011, most likely in the Americas along the New Madrid fault line. The story goes that the levels of electromagnetism in the upper atmosphere are rising in this particular zone.
There may be something to it. According to the Associated Press, a week-long “rare training event” involving the U.S. Military and the CIA will be held 21-25 at Fort Leavenworth in Texas. The U.S. Treasury, U.S. State departments, U.S. Agency for International Development, the Defense Threat Readiness Agency and the International Red Cross as well as officers of the Canadian Forces College will all be attending.

The state of Arkansas is said to have had 600 tremors over the past six months, although it is suspected they some be related to natural gas “fracking” (hydraulic fracturing) in the region.

We've received a number of email in regards to chances for more earthquakes.  While we're not geologists we try to keep up with the latest news.  Here's a release we received... take it for what it's worth... we've not been able to confirm its authenticity.

EARTHQUAKE WARNING FROM RUSSIAN INSTITUTE of PHYSICS of the EARTH
A new report released today in the Kremlin prepared for Prime Minister Putin by the Institute of Physics of the Earth, in Moscow, is warning that the AMERICA’S ARE IN DANGER OF SUFFERING A MEGA-QUAKE OF CATASTROPHIC PROPORTIONS DURING THE NEXT FORTNIGHT (14 days) with a specific emphasis being placed on the UNITED STATES, MEXICO, CENTRAL AMERICA AND SOUTH AMERICAN WEST COAST REGIONS along with the New Madrid Fault Zone region.This report further warns that catastrophic earthquakes in ASIA and the sub-continent are, also, “more than likely to occur” with the 7.3 magnitude quake in Japan today being “one of at least 4 of this intensity” to occur during this same time period.Raising the concerns of a mega-quake occurring, this report says, are the INCREASING SUBTLE ELECTROMAGNETIC SIGNALS that are being detected in the Earth’s upper atmosphere over many regions of the World, with the most intense being over the US Western coastal and Midwest regions.Important to note are that Russian and British scientists are at the forefront of predicting earthquakes based on these subtle electromagnetic signals and have joined in an effort to put satellites in space to detect more of them.More ominously in this report are Russian scientists confirming the independent analysis of New Zealand mathematician and long-range weather forecaster, KEN RING, who predicted the deadly Christchurch quake and this week issued ANOTHER WARNING OF A QUAKE to hit on or about March 20th.
Ring explains his methodology for predicting earthquakes as follows:“The planets very much affect the earth, indirectly, by having an effect on the Sun. Some planets are very large. If the Sun was a basketball the gas giants Jupiter and Saturn would be the size of grapefruits, and the Earth would be, on that scale, the size of a peppercorn.
Jupiter and Saturn cause extra tides on the Sun when they get on either side of the Sun (as with Moon – Earth-Sun when the moon is full) and when these gas giants get on the same side as the Sun, (as with Earth -Moon – Sun when the moon is new).
These greater solar tides become sunspot activity and solar flares and can be understood as akin to the increase in tides caused by the Moon when it too gets alongside Earth or opposite Earth.
At the moment we have Jupiter and Saturn on either side of the Sun and creating a tug of war with Earth in the middle. That started last September and will continue until about May.
In September the Earth was right in line with Jupiter, Saturn and the Sun too.
That’s why there were several 7+ earthquakes around, it wasn’t just us.
For instance there was one in Pakistan on the same day as Christchurch. This Jupiter/Saturn alignment continues until about May, and the Earth comes back into line as well in March.It is why there MAY BE AN EXTREME EVENT, perhaps a large earthquake, AROUND 20 MARCH, which is when the Moon may be again in a trigger position.”
According to this report, however, where Ring is correct in assessing blame for our Earth’s earthquakes on the Sun and Planets, his substituting of Perigean Spring Tides (also known as King Tides) for the low pressure systems associated with them may be incorrect.
The mention in this report of MASSIVE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEMS being associated with catastrophic earthquakes is especially dire to the United States Midwestern region, which even today is continuing to be pounded by horrific rainfall amounts, and most especially impacting the NEW MADRID FAULT ZONE STATE OF ARKANSAS which has suffered over 800 earthquakes in the past 6 months alone.
Equally in danger, this report continues, is the South American Nation of BOLIVIA which has, likewise, suffered catastrophic low pressure system storms that in the past week have killed over 52 people.Most ominous in this report, though, is its warning that the FAULT-RIDDLED STATE OF CALIFORNIA may be about to suffer its most catastrophic earthquake in decades as new reports for this region show the MASS DEATH OF MILLIONS OF FISH [photo bottom left] is now occurring, and just like the MASS STRANDING OF WHALES ON NEW ZEALAND BEACHES DAYS PRIOR TO THE FEBRUARY 22ND DESTRUCTION OF CHRISTCHURCH.

Keep in mind that this isn't set in stone to happen, but there is a bit of an increased threat. Now let's talk about upcoming weather. Tomorrow will be a milder day as a warm front moves in. Scattered showers are possible tomorrow morning in southern Indiana, and in northern Indiana later in the day. Highs will hit the low 70s southwest, low 60s in Indy, and mid 50s far northeast. On Monday, we will see the second warmest day of the year! With most of the rain staying north, we will see a little sunshine and highs soaring in the low 70s central, upper 60s north, and mid-upper 70s south. :) On Tuesday, we will see showers fall across the northern parts of the state, with more scattered showers in central Indiana. Highs may range from low 70s south, to mid 50s north. Probably near 60 in Indy. Wednesday will be a plain nasty day with rain likely, and temperatures falling late in the day. The cold air comes roaring in Wed. night changing the rain to light snow. There could be a few slick spots early Thursday morning. The amount of cold showing up for early spring is really impressive. There will be a couple days where areas north of Indy may stay in the 30s. This cold air may not want to go anywhere. Take a look at the models for late next week, and the temperature anomaly for our spring break:

Look how far south the cold air goes!
                                                                                             




This is not good news for those hoping for a warm spring break. It is also not good news considering all the easter lilies in bloom now and buds on the trees now that may freeze. These are just models, and I think we should warm a bit through our spring break. Have a good evening, I will update the blog tomorrow morning.
