They dont have a weather reporter to tell them they sense it they have senses we dont to ignore a possible link between an animals senses and a seismic event is ignoring a possible forecasting tool to save lives us not in the best interest of mankind .
OK, no point dancing around it. Here is an extract from last week's HalfPastHuman ALTA report. Please do not repost it, and any use requires a link both to www.halfpasthuyman.com and to www.urbansurvival.com. OK?
"The data sets associated with [twin earthquakes] continues to grow. The newly supporting sets are within the aspect/attribute sets of [pulsating (motion)], and [rippling (ground)], and [motion (of) sound (in) ground]. This last is supported by aspect/attributes which suggest that it is related to [waves] of [propagation] within the [surface] of the [earth], as well as being a literal/actual reference to [sound (coming up from the) ground] during the [earthquake(s)]. Further support builds under [mountains] where the newly arrived aspect/attributes include [frail crust], and [broken (open) fertile plain]. Other aspect/attribute sets in the supporting chain include [seed(ed) valley] as being the [focus/nexus] of the [most damage], though note that this is not necessarily the epicenter of the earthquake energy.
The data sets in the deep supporting layers include [stripes] as in [tiger stripes] that are forecast to make a [visible appearance] [ed note: most likely after the earthquake]. We also have [vegetable fields] at many different levels of support indicating an agricultural area will be very central to the [visible] aftermath. Deeper into the detail aspect/attribute layers we have descriptors for [images/views] of [humans looking up] and [humans (with) dropped jaws] and [humans with [fixed/glazed stares].
Part of the data sets are now going to the [visible] problems which will result from the [earthquakes]. A very major problem is showing as an [agricultural area] being [so devastated] as to have [problems with production]. Both this last, and the [rebuilding] are indicated to be a [decade, 10/ten years] activity. Other issues include the [immediate needs (of) food] and [shelter] for the [affected humans]. Much of the supporting language is coming in support of the idea of [needing to feed] some large/significant numbers of people post-earthquake. This is shown as being caused by several factors including the [isolation] brought on by the [disruption/destruction] of the [roads]. Some of the detail layers show that many days later, perhaps even [weeks], there will be a [cadre] of [humans] and [animals?] which will [undertake daily walking] to [bring back supplies] to the [affected regions]. The data sets are presenting the idea that even [large amounts] of [helicopter] delivered [food/aid] will still [require/need] to be [hand carried] to get to the [isolated communities]. The local [systems] for everything from [health care] to [fuel delivery] will be [disrupted] for some time in excess of [3/three years] by the [alterations] in the [ground shapes] and [bridges failing]. The data sets are also indicating that [following] the [earthquakes] and the [dancing mountains], the region (and perhaps the whole of the planet) will have a period of [profound rest/quiet] relative to [earthquakes]. This [period of rest/quiescence] is apparently of an emotional significance as the [lack of activity] is indicated to cause its own level of [stress] in the populace of the planet. "
There's more in other ALTA reports, but since we're really, really close to the twin quake window, not point being secretive about this. We're planning to watch quake coverage through most of this weekend - and wondering who will be offering the recovery aid and concert for fund-raising that seems to follow big quakes, but I get we will have those answers next week. Cliff, meantime, is hoping like hell he's got it wrong.
In June 1974, China’s National Earthquake Bureau issued a warning that a critical earthquake could be expected near the city of Haicheng, in Lianoning Province near Manchuria, within one to two years. This prediction was the result of a four-year study of a 2,200-year history of earthquakes in the area. Their conclusion that geologic changes were imminent was supported by precise seismologic, geodetic, and geomagnetic measurements.
The citizens were mobilized into a large-scale prediction network. With the guidance of experts, volunteers were placed in thousands of industrial plants, schools, animal breeding institutions, and agricultural communes; others were trained to observe animal behavior. They were alerted to recognize other signs of an impending earthquake, such as changes in the water table, bubbling in water wells, sulfur smells in wells, increased radon gas, earthquake swarms, weird lights, or strange rumbles coming from the ground. The collected information was assembled in a central clearinghouse.
Many observers acknowledged that the most widespread, predictable, and meaningful signs of an approaching earthquake were the strange behaviors of animals. They would signal their fears loudly, leave their burrows, and try to break out of any enclosure. Observers noted also that several small earthquakes definitely signaled a forthcoming earthquake. By February 1975, these signs had become very real.
More than 20 species of animals showed unmistakable signs of fear and confusion. Large animals such as horses and cows became unmanageable and panicked, kicking, biting, and running away. Snakes came out of hibernation, crawled from their burrows, and froze to death on the snow-covered ground. Rats appeared in the open in large groups, so confused that they could be caught by hand. Geese flew into walls and trees, pigs bit each other and dug out of their sties, chickens refused to enter their coops to roost. Even trained police dogs would not obey their handlers, but howled and kept their noses to the ground.
Several small earthquake swarms were detected in the first days of February. This evidence, along with groundwater changes such as wells turning cloudy and gas bubbles in ponds, convinced the scientists that the anomalies in animal behavior were relevant. On February 4, 1975, evacuation of the Haicheng area was ordered and was in progress by 2 p.m. The earthquake, 7.3 on the Richter scale, hit at 7:36 p.m. Over 50 percent of the houses were destroyed. In this city of about a half-million people, tens of thousands would have died but for this successful prediction and evacuation. The few casualties were stubborn individuals who insisted that this was all poppycock; their houses collapsed on top of them.
More research is needed and is long overdue, said Sheldrake, who proposes a special hotline or Web site where people could call or write in if they saw strange behavior in their animals. A computer would then analyze the incoming messages to determine where they originated. A sudden surge of calls or e-mails from a particular region might indicate that a quake was imminent. Such a project would capture the imagination of millions of people
Are You Ready? provides a step-by-step approach to disaster preparedness by walking the reader through how to get informed about local emergency plans, how to identify hazards that affect their local area, and how to develop and maintain an emergency communications plan and disaster supplies kit. Other topics covered include evacuation, emergency public shelters, animals in disaster, and information specific to people with disabilities.

In case anybody is interested, the web bot creators have posted the latest ALTA thread for free in George's daily blog this morning. The ALTA thread is about the earthquake predictions for this week.
Normally, the ALTA threads are only available to subscribers (which I am not), but because we are now so close to the predicted date, they released the information the general public today.
You are not allowed to repost it, due to copywright laws, but you can read it at the following website: www.urbansurvival.com... Their other website is www.halfpasthuman.com.
