New Madrid *Alert* Strange Rainbow...Birds Fleeing

Has anyone mentioned dizziness or headaches beyond the norm in your area coolottie?
And how about pets? Anyones pets acting clingy or strange?

strange lights and rainbows are usually seen before earthquakes, like pent up energy and friction within the earth.

as for the birds, crows are hard to gauge. dispite popular belief they are nothing like other common species that display autonomous behavior. they are very smart and if they don't like something or someone within one area they convey this to the others and they remember that for years and years. pbs had a great documnetary on them.

ON ONE EARTHQUAKE WEBSITE IT SAID: IF ANTS AND ELEPHANTS LEAVE THEN AN EARTHQUAKE IS VERY LIKELY IN A SHORT TIME. Well we have no elephants in Arkansas, but fire ants all over my yard. Last year when I raked leaves constanly was bitten. Last year every acorn in my yard was gone by Dec.1. This year the ground is covered. No squirrels put up nuts or deer ate them,. Last year filled the 9 bird feeders every 3 days, this year have not had to refill due to birds eating since November. My dog never wants to go outside any more. So this is not something I just dreamed or making up. Nature has been weird since Nov. 1, 2011

Well it sounds like you might be on to something.,
What part of Arkansas?
anywhere near all the quakes yall had

How far reaching would this earthquake be if it actually happened? I live in northeast Alabama near the beginning of the appalchians. Just curious, I hope it doesn't happen anyway.

I have had such bad headaches in the past few months, rarely ever a headache before. The Doctor said last week it was probably migrain and also gave me something to help me sleep as well as headache. My roommates have had the same problems about sleep.

This is the video of the rainbow in China that he says looked like the ones he saw.

The information I read a year ago said that a 7 mag in the New Madrid today would knock down buildings in Pine Bluff, AR and as far north would destory St. Louis,MO and Memphis, TN. In 2007 I lived in Memphis and a quake the far east of Tennesse knocked me completely off the bed at 3:00 am. Quakes in the New Madrid begun according to Archaeologist begun in 2350 BC. I wrote a book, "Epoch Revelations" about 7 astroids that hit the earth in 2354 BC. And there is a huge impact site in Ohio. It is said the impact cracked the earth. That is why the New Madrid is the only fault within a contienent.[ not around it]. The Quakes in the New Madrid are shallow and shallow quakes cause the worse damage.

I live in Arkansas and the birds are gone, none. Also squirrels, ants, etc. The feeling here is that the dead birds was just a warning. In the New Madrid Quake of 1811 all the birds flew away. And they are not going South but North and East. .

Odd, I live a ways north of you and over the last week or 10 days I have noticed flocks of birds always headed north / northeast. That really seems odd to me at this time of year. Does anyone have any ideas why they would be doing that?

thats a crazy video!
dont know what to make of it. very very odd. is there any record of birds flying like that from the 1800's eq there?

So, where I sit, tomorrow we will have an ice storm, blizzard w/ white out conditions, a thunder storm with possible tornadic activity, and now you say New Madras could go too? Way to go ATS, really makes a conspiracy girl feel her comfort zone...

Omg... that would really be some great timing!! Make sure you're prepared for anything!!

I live on the New Madrid fault. And I can tell you this. The surface rupture of the roads and highways is out of control. Also, everyday of the week, the structure of my moms home is "cracking" and shifting. You can hear the walls and the surface crack.

Interstate 65 is also badly damaged. They keep trying to repave them but it doesn't work. The Cline Ave bridge at points is closing. This bridge and off ramps leads right into Inland steel and LTV steel and BP Amoco. So far, I believe 5-7 bridges have been shut down or are scheduled for closing because they are unsafe.

I believe the general public has been misled. In my opinion, the 2012 shift is happening now, but everyone has been conditioned to believe that they still have time to prepare for the main event. Thats b.s. It doesn't happen all at once.

The bottom line is this; Buildings are cracking, parking lots can't be fixed, roads and bridges are closing every week, sidewalks are sinking and sinkholes are opening everywhere. At time day or night, you can literally feel the earth "vibrate" below your feet.

Did I miss the link to the "strange rainbow"?

I am not too concerned that the birds are flying toward unusual areas, I think that is due to the change in the weather patterns. However I find the sighting of the rainbows of interest - its happeneds before quakes, no doubt about it. What I would like to research would be to find out how many times the rainbows showed up and a quake didn't follow. I would like an average on this to find out if rainbows like this are not as uncommon as we think, they may show up often. When it comes to the New Madrid I am pretty alert to any new information - my family are in Ky and I am in Indiana - 2 of the Madrid states. Great thread S @ F

A lot of negative raven symbolism comes about from their appearance on battlefields. They are scavengers (and curious to a fault), and are often seen picking at mangled remains of fallen warriors on battle grounds.

Spans of massacred bodies and gore besieged with glimmery black ravens with chiseled beaks driving coldly into the bloody mire can conjure some nightmarish connotations. I'm betting a lot of the darker raven symbolism came from these eerie appearances at sites with massive death tolls.

This is underscored by the raven's placement in Celtic animal symbolism because it is a bird closely connected with battle and the Celtic goddess Morrigan, who was a remarkable prophetess (connecting oracle themes with the raven).

Nevertheless, this page on raven symbolism will focus on the raven's higher attributes.

For example, the raven's intelligence is possibly its most winning feature. Indeed, these birds can be trained to speak. This speaking ability leads into the legend of ravens being the ultimate oracle.

In fact, the raven is often heard to cackle utterances that sound like "cras, cras." The actual word cras is tomorrow in Latin. This lends more fuel to the legendary fires that distinguish the raven as a bird who can foretell the future, and reveal omens and signs.

Countless cultures point to the raven as a harbinger of powerful secrets. Moreover, the raven is a messenger too, so its business is in both keeping and communicating deep mysteries.

Raven symbolism of wisdom and knowledge-keeping is connected with the Welsh hero Bran, the Blessed whose name means raven. Bran was the holder of ancestral memories, and his wisdom was legendary. So much so, that he had his head (the vessel of his powerful wisdom) removed and interred in the sacred White Mount in London. Ravens are still roosting there (in the Tower of London), and they're thought to keep Bran's wisdom protected and alive by their presence. I've written more about Bran on my Celtic skulls page here.

The raven is symbolic of mind, thought and wisdom according to Norse legend, as their god Odin was accompanied by two ravens: Hugin who represented the power of thought and active search for information. The other raven, Mugin represented the mind, and its ability to intuit meaning rather than hunting for it. Odin would send these two ravens out each day to soar across the lands. At day's end, they would return to Odin and speak to him of all they had spied upon and learned on their journeys.

Odin was also known as the Raven God. He had many daughters known as Valkyries who could transform into ravens . I like to think Valkyries would ride as ravens after a bloody battle and whisper to the souls of fallen Norse warriors to raise up from their bodies and come with them, where they would soar the skies to Valhalla. What a trip back home that would be.

There's more good news about raven symbolism from the ancient Greeks and Romans. In spite of its midnight-colored feathers, the raven was a solar animal in this culture, and was associated with both Athena and Apollo, both deities closely affiliated with the sun, and the light of wisdom .

Apollo was also a major oracular god, which makes its connection with the chatty and (and alarmingly human-like) conversational raven a smart match.

There are some Greco-Roman legends that say ravens were once all white. And, because the raven couldn't keep a secret to save its life, Apollo punished the raven by turning its bright white feathers black after it divulged too many secrets. There's also a version that said the owl replaced the raven by Athena's side as her associate of wisdom because of raven's blabber-mouthed tendencies.

Raven color changes are also mentioned in Christian lore when Noah sent a raven first to confirm the receding floodwaters. When the raven did not return, it was said God turned its feathers black for its failure, and Noah sent a dove out to do the raven's job. And since then, the raven has gotten a bad rap as being anti-mankind.

I'm not convinced. I rather think (as long as we're postulating over legends) the raven is very pro-mankind and its feathers turned black from sorrow - a heaviness in its heart to witness the floodwaters were still too high to accommodate the birthing ark.

Ravens are humanitarians in Native American symbolic legends too. In fact, the raven was a hero to many tribes. The Inuit for example believed the raven tricked a giant sea monster into submission, and to this day its body serves as the Alaskan mainland.

Other Native North American tribes saw the raven as the bringer of light. In fact, southwestern tribes (Hopi, Navajo, Zuni) felt the raven was flew out from the dark womb of the cosmos, and with it brought the light of the sun (dawning of understanding). Consequently, the raven is considered a venerated bird of creation, for without the raven, humans would forever live in darkness. I've written more about the symbolic meaning of raven from a Native American perspective here.

Dr. Carl Jung deemed raven symbolism to represent the shadow self, or the dark side of the psyche. I very much like this. Why? Because by acknowledging this dark side, we can effectively communicate with both halves of ourselves. This offers liberating balance, and facilitates tremendous wisdom (something the raven would be very pleased with).

In other words, through the consistent unveiling of inner depths, and the positive/active utilization of inner impulses the esoteric secrets become exposed to the light of our own consciousness. This is at the crux of what the raven speaks to me.

What does the raven whisper to you?

Insurance is paid up, so worse case scenario, we get a hotel for a bit and rebuild. I have done all I can to make it through but seems new stuff is added every hour...
