Moon/flood Phases, what are we in for ????

[Lozzel]

The Moon does an 18.6 year cycle.

A super moon is a new or full moon which occurs when the moon is at 90% or greater of its closest perigee approach

To the earth.

An extreme super moon is when the moon is a new moon or full moon and is at 100% or greater mean perigee (closest) distance to earth.

1955 Floods

There was an extreme super moon at full moon on November 10 1954.

Flooding occurred from October 1954 to 23 February 1955

1974 Floods(18-19 years later)

There was an extreme super moon at full moon on January 8th 1974.

3 weeks of rain up to 29 Jan 1974.

1992 floods (18-19 years later)

There was an extreme super moon at full moon on Jan 19 1992.

2011 Floods (18-19 years later).

There are super moons at full moon on 18/2/2011, 19/3/2011 and 18/4/2011.

And There is an extreme super moon on the full moon of the 19/3/2011

I guess this is why they are predicting 6/7 cyclones this year????????

I hope everybody has a snorkel!!

Dammit, stupid flooding should bugger off.

I like the rivers when they are fishable.

I have heard on the water vine that another 'event' is predicted in April this year with the same rain and tides happening all over.

Could be the reason they are dumping water instead of sprouting the notion that the dams are full and we dont need desalination plants anymore.

Global mooning....who'd have thunk it Better bring in a cheese tax now to stop it happening.

I hope not for all those poor buggers that have cleaned up there flooded homes and started to renovate it will break their hearts

My fingers are crossed we'll get a reprieve from these extreme events

They (Richard Nolle, astrologer not astronomer) are also saying its responsible for all the earthquakes in Christchurch, Haiti, Chile, Baja, Eureka, Germany, also upheavals in the ring of fire in the Pacific and volcanic actions at St Helen's and they even blame it for the revolutions in the middle east ,

Sounds plausible as with the moon closer, the tidal stresses on the planet would be greater.

Mind you, some actual research to support this would be nice, not just "..are also saying..."
