Fires around the world

My question is, is this directed energy weapons or natural plasma strikes due to earth changes in general, or particularly, due to seismic activity preparing for “California to slide into the ocean”?

Was thinking the same thing about a plasma event. DEW's is also a good possibility. Or a combination of both through advanced technology via WMD.

Take look at this map. I will not make any commentary.
But it is very reveling imho.


How Santa Rosa's Tubbs fire spread, hour by hour

JULIE JOHNSON THE PRESS DEMOCRAT | November 3, 2017, 9:19PM
An analysis by The New York Times of satellite images, combined with on-the-ground surveys, provides a more complete picture of the origin, spread and devastation of the fire that killed at least 23 people in and around the city. (it's a good possibility that more like thousand's died as there is no way one could have out ran this (given the scope and the size) of it's conflagration with its rapid spread)

At 17m:00s mention of "Hydrate Ridge" discusses release of methane off the coast of California from oceanic deposits.

My question is: what if unreported earthquake / movement off the coast is releasing large quantities of Methane from the Hydrate deposits, and these are what is causing / intensifying / perpetuating the fires inland??
FWIW

That's an interesting revaluation. I would added looking at the map below that waves of the conflagration moved for the east to the south west.

Hi MusicMan. I checked out some of the dates for any earthquake activity (in N-California) at the time of this event on the 9th of October.

These are the small tremors (as far as i know) that were the only documented seismic activity close to the Napa event.

Cobb Mt. is home to a Geo Thermal Power Station.

Some civic groups have accused the agency of Geo Thermal Fracking which induces seismic activity in the area.

You know there is something wrong when you find a crankshaft under the bed. Kiln fired clay roofing tiles swelling and changing shape. Steel chassis on cars completely stripped out and missing. Engine blocks melted right out of the frames and actually thrown from the vehicle. Insides of electric motors explode apart. Cars flipped over while gas tanks still in tact. Even the kitchen sink gets chewed right through. More than a firenado... maybe sharknado?

Glowing Embers blowing around like bouncy balls and getting sucked into cracks of the pavement? Hello? Am I drinking too much coffee? Is thermodynamics broken? I timed one ember that was contacting wet pavement in two separate locations and glowing for 44 seconds until more water was doused on it. Embers are typically very very dry so they suck up moisture as well as transfer heat to any contacting surface. So why does wet concrete NOT extinguish these flying embers? big anomaly.

Santa Rosa man found dead at site of fire-burned home
November 13, 2017, 11:17AM
_http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2017/11/14/man-kills-himself-in-ruins-of-his-burned-out-santa-rosa-home/ Video

A well-known dentist who lost his home in last month’s firestorms returned to the ruins of his rural Santa Rosa neighborhood and apparently took his own life, officials said Monday.

The death of Greg Peter Mlynarczyk, 70, stunned patients and colleagues, who praised his contributions to the community and his friendly, caring approach to other people in his life.

“I can attest to the fact that this was one good guy,” said Barry Schmidt, a retired family dentist who lives in Santa Rosa’s Oakmont neighborhood.

“I just absolutely cannot believe it,” Schmidt said. “This is something that is totally unexpected. He’s a super good guy, really sharp.”

Mlynarczyk was found at 10 a.m. Saturday by his wife and an insurance adjuster
at his burned-out home on Amber Lane, northeast of Fountaingrove, said Sgt. Spencer Crum, a spokesman for the Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office. He had shot himself with a handgun, Crum said.

Family members declined to comment Monday, requesting privacy and time to inform his patients. A woman who answered the phone Monday at Mlynarczyk’s office on Sonoma Avenue also declined to comment. A call to the Redwood Empire Dental Society was not returned.

Mlynarczyk was an active member of the community
, serving on the boards of Becoming Independent and the North Bay Regional Center for Developmental Disabilities for several years, according to the website for his dental practice, Santa Rosa Dentistry.

He was a longtime member of the Sonoma County Trailblazers, a group of horse riders, and enjoyed the “camaraderie of this group on the trail ride or at the hog feed,” according to his website. He and his wife, Laura, were members of the Wild Oak Saddle Club and Fountaingrove Athletic Club.

“This community has been so good to us, and we care very much about our friends and our patients,” he wrote on his website.

As news of Mlynarczyk’s death spread online Monday, patients and friends began expressing their grief, often in disbelief.

On the Santa Rosa Firestorm Update page, one former patient recalled how Mlynarczyk worked on her teeth that had been knocked out around Halloween. The dentist handed her a fake bloody finger, asked her to put it on and to point it at him if he hurt her.

“He made me laugh so hard and got me through some rough times while in his care,” wrote the former patient. “Greg will be sorely missed.”

Originally from Las Vegas, Mlynarczyk received his undergraduate degree in biology from the University of Oregon, with a special focus on research. He then attended the University of Southern California School of Dentistry.

The website for his practice states that Mlynarczyk is a member of the professional advisory board of the Tuberous Sclerosis Alliance, a national organization aimed at improving the lives of those affected by the genetic disorder.

For years, Mlynarczyk was a member of the Redwood Empire Dental Society peer review board, contributing to research that was published in the Journal of Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology and Oral Surgery. That work has been cited in the American Medical Association journal and medical textbooks.

Mlynarczyk enjoyed scuba diving, cross-country skiing, trips with his family and body-surfing, according to his website, which noted he was a loyal Oregon Duck and USC Trojan football fan. He and his family also were supporters of the Green Music Center at Sonoma State University, where they enjoyed listening to performances by the Santa Rosa Symphony and others.

Kellie Lennon, 40, of Santa Rosa, who went to high school with some of Mlynarczyk’s children, remembered the dentist as a jovial man who always made her feel like she mattered.

“He was always so happy, he really was, and he was very supportive,” Lennon said, adding that she often spent time with his children at his home and never felt unwelcome.

“I was just this teenage goofball in his house and he would joke with me and have these candid real conversations,” she said. “It made me feel like I mattered as a teen.”

Lennon said she last saw him at her high school reunion in 2014. “He was just the same — happy, smiley, big hugs and full of love,” she said.

Homes burned in Oakmont Tuesday night but numbers and locations weren’t available early Wednesday from fire officials.

Supervisor Susan Gorin has confirmed on Facebook and by email that her home in the area was lost to fire.

Lowenthal, at the fire’s base camp at the Sonoma County Fairgrounds, noted the smoke had cleared in central Santa Rosa. “The sky is clear, the moon is clearly visible but I can see the orange haze over that side of town,” he said, referring to the view east toward Oakmont.

New York:
A five-alarm fire blackened the skies over New York City Friday afternoon as flames tore through a six-story apartment building, sending debris tumbling to the streets below.

Four firefighters and one other person received what the New York City Fire Dept. called non-life-threatening injuries. There was no immediate cause given for the fire at 565 W. 144 St. in Manhattan, which the fire department said was reported around 1:40 p.m. Eastern time. Firefighters said they rescued a dog from inside the building.

Pictures and video of the fire posted to social media initially showed heavy black smoke pouring from the building’s top floor as firefighters showered the flames from ladder and tower trucks, with the smoke eventually thinning as firefighters appeared to gain the upper hand. At least 200 firefighters battled the blaze.

“It doesn’t seem like it’s gas related because there would have been a huge explosion,” resident Jose Tavarez told CBS-New York. “I’m not even worried about the building itself, I’m worried about the people that live there. These things can be replaced, material things, but a human life can’t.”

The city’s health department warned people to avoid breathing in the smoke, which could cause or exacerbate breathing problems, including asthma.

https://youtu.be/N76cYzP3HLg?rel=0It all started on October 8, 2017. Our wildfires have been the worst is the history of California. To assist our friends and neighbors in their time of need, Rotary District 5130 Fire Relief Fund has been created and is now accepting cash donations. Rotary is one of the highest rated charities and we have proven experience in assisting fire relief efforts the North Bay, administering nearly one million dollars after the valley fire in 2015 in Lake County.

The truth about Rotary International - I
10/03/2011
http://www.islamweb.net/en/article/165651/the-truth-about-rotary-international-i
Rotary is a Masonic Jewish organization of business and professional leaders that claims to provide humanitarian service to improve human relations, encouraging high ethical standards in all vocations and building goodwill and peace in the world.

Rotary is an English word derived from "rotation". The organization was named as such because meetings were held in members' houses or offices by rotation. The presidency of the organization is still assumed by members by rotation as well. The clubs have chosen a distinctive emblem, which is a "gear wheel" in two colors, golden and blue, with 24 cogs and six golden spokes within the circle. Each two opposite sides constitute a diameter within the circle of the gear. They all constitute three diameters that cross in the center. When the starting point for each diameter is connected to the ends of the other two diameters, this constitutes the six-pointed star, surrounded by the two English words "Rotary" and "International".

The golden and blue colors are of the Jews' sacred colors with which they decorate the roofs of their monasteries, temples and Masonic lodges. These two colors are now the colors of the flag of the member states of the European Common Market.

Foundation and leading figures:

• On 23 February 1905 C.E., the attorney Paul Harris founded the first Rotary club in Chicago, Illinois. This was three years after he had spread his idea which was accepted by some people. Sylvester Schiele (coal merchant), Gustav A. Loehr (mines engineer), Hiram E. Shorey (tailor merchant) and Paul Harris (attorney) are considered the founders of the Rotary movement and the builders of its intellectual principles after a series of recurrent periodic meetings. Their first meeting was held in the same place where the Rotary Club, Chicago 177 today, was later founded.
• Three years later, Shirley Berry joined the organization and rapidly expanded the movement. He remained as a secretary of the organization until he resigned in 1942 C.E.

• In 1947 C.E., Paul Harris (the founder) died after the movement had spread in 80 countries, with 6800 clubs and 327,000 members.

• In 1911 C.E., the movement moved to Dublin in Ireland, and then spread in Britain through the efforts of Mr. Morrow, who was paid a commission for each new member.
In the Arab world, the history of Rotary was connected to three phenomena:

- Western colonialism in terms of inception and the majority of its members.

- The aristocratic classes and those who had influence and money.

- Comprehensive and general activity in entire Arab world, directly or indirectly.

• In the 1930s, Rotary clubs were founded in Algeria and Morocco under the supervision of French colonialism. There are now many clubs and branches in different places and cities of the Arab world.

Ideas and beliefs:

• Not regarding religion or the difference in country of origin as a criterion in choosing a member, or in the mutual interaction among members. The Rotary claims that it is not concerned with religious or political matters. The Rotary is not allowed to express an opinion on any controversial public issue.

• Rotary clubs teach their members the list of the equally recognized religions in alphabetical order: Buddhism, Christianity, Confucianism, Hinduism, Judaism, Mohammedanism and Taoism.

• Religion being disregarded, this protects the Jews and secures them easy penetration into all walks of life. This is clarified through the necessity that each club must have at least one or two Jewish members.

• One should do good deeds without waiting for any material or moral reward. This is indeed against the religious perception which connects doing voluntary good work to the double reward from Allah The Almighty.

• There is a weekly meeting; and the member's attendance rate should not be less than 60 percent per year.

• Membership is not available for all people. Rather, one should wait for the club's invitation for joining, according to the principle of selection.

• Classification is based on the main profession. There are 77 professions.

• Workers are deprived of the club's membership, and only those who occupy high positions are chosen.

• They try to have a balanced age level among the members and nourish the organization with new blood by attracting young members.

• There must be a representative for each profession. It is possible, however, that this rule is violated in order to have a desirable member or exclude an undesirable one. The third paragraph of Article IV of the Constitution of the Rotary International is as follows:
There should be no more than one member of each profession with the exception of the categories of religions, media and the diplomatic corps, with taking into account the provisions of the bylaws for the additional active members.

• The Board of Directors for each club must have one or two of the club's former heads, who are the heirs of the Rotarian secret which descended from Paul Harris.

• Charles Marden, who was a member for three years in one of the Rotary clubs, conducted a study about the Rotary and he deduced some facts including:
- Among each 421 members of the Rotary Clubs, there are 159 members who belong to Freemasonry, and this means that they are more loyal to Freemasonry than to the club.

- In some cases, membership of the Rotary was limited to the Masons, as it was the case in Edinburgh, Britain, in 1921 C.E.

- In Nance loges in France, in 1881 C.E., the following was reported, "If the Masons constitute an association along with others, they must not let it be led by others. The effective officials must be Masons and the association must act according to their principles."

- Rotary Clubs become very popular and their activities are strengthened when the Masonic movement weakens or becomes dormant. That is because the Masons transfer their activities to the clubs until the pressures end and then resume their former status.

- The Rotary was founded in 1905 C.E. during the period when Freemasonry was active in America.

- There are several clubs that intellectually and methodologically resemble the Rotary, which are: the Lions, Kiwanis, Exchange, Round Table, Pen and B'nai B'rith (Sons of the Covenant). These clubs work in the same way and for the same purpose with some slight modification to create many means to spread ideas and attract supporters and followers. There are visits exchanged among these clubs. In some cities there is a council for the clubs' heads in order to coordinate with each other.

Modular structures on the Keysight Technologies campus in Santa Rosa damaged in the wine country fires. Keysight Technologies, a $3 billion firm that is Sonoma County’s largest publicly owned company, was forced to vacate its head offices because of one of the wine country fires, but Keysight’s top boss said Thursday the headquarters complex is intact despite some damage.

There was no evacuation plan. And they the elderly were left by the short handed staff to fen for themselves.

By the middle of the night Katheryn's granddaughter Tanja sent her ex-boyfriend, a Santa Rosa Police Officer with his partner to find her grandmother.

"He found her outside of her third story apartment crying and basically screaming for help," said Tanja Werle.

"I can't thank them," Katheryn trailed off for a moment.

"They saved my life, I'd still be there," she continued.

ABC7 News asked Oakmont Management Group where staff was at that point in the night.

They responded, "While we were in the process of shuttling residents to a designated location, authorities refused to allow staff to reenter the area because of the existing danger, and indicated they would take responsibility for evacuating remaining residents."

A point Santa Rosa Police Department disputes.

"We were not stopping anybody from helping save lives that night. We had not set up any roadblocks at the time, we weren't preventing anyone from getting in at the time," said Santa Rosa Police Department Captain Rainer Navarro on Thursday.

RJ Kisling, another resident's grandson told ABC7 News he along with firefighters evacuated the final 70 residents from the building.

"The repeated question was how come nobody came and got us how come nobody told us we were evacuating and from the fire department was where is the staff where is the master key," said RJ Kisling on Thursday.

RJ helped load the residents onto two Golden Gate Transit buses.

His sister shot video as they left the burning building.

"Following a bus right now out with a bunch of elderly people," she narrated while filming.

The Santa Rosa Police Officers took Katheryn in their vehicle.

"I didn't know how they got us out of there in that flames we were just driving through inferno. I never want to go through anything like that again," she said.

Oakmont Management Group says staff remained in communication with authorities to ensure all residents were safe.

The Department of Social Services tells ABC7 News it is now investigating Varenna Oakmont Senior Living's evacuation to determine if facility staff followed its evacuation plan.

Imagine, word was that all personnel of the company had been safely evacuated by Keysight Technology prior to losing part of the complex of records.

One would have thought that Keysight Technologies would have checked to notify all employs in the general vicinity. But there was a catastrophic failure of all communication notifications and the areas cell towers.

Keysight Engineer, ‘upbeat and friendly’ world traveler, identified as 24th Sonoma County fire victim
November 29, 2017, 10:53AM
-http://www.pressdemocrat.com/news/7702145-181/sonoma-county-fire-victim-total?utm_source=Boomtrain&utm_medium=pd_daily&utm_source=Boomtrain&utm_medium=pd_daily&artslide=3

Michel Azarian, a 41-year-old engineer for Santa Rosa-based Keysight Technologies, who loved to hike, travel and document his experiences in photography, died this week from severe burns he sustained last month fleeing his Mark West Springs home in the deadly Tubbs fire.

The death was confirmed Wednesday by coroner’s officials in Sonoma County and in Sacramento County, where Azarian, a native of Lebanon, had been in care at UC Davis Medical Center.

He was the 24th person killed in Sonoma County by the unprecedented firestorm and the 44th death from fires that erupted the night of Oct. 8 across Northern California.

Azarian was found before 10 a.m. Oct. 9 after a neighbor heard his cries for help and alerted a CHP officer on a motorcycle
, said Monte Rio Fire Chief Steve Baxman, who, along with an ambulance crew, came to his aid as he was lying in a clearing near his heavily forested home on Redwood Hill Road.

“He looked burned, I would say, over about 80 percent of his body,” Baxman said. “He was talking to us, which surprised me. We were trying to make sense of what he was saying. He was mumbling.

Or are you American policemen so stupid that you haven’t even heard of him? Keyser Soze, you ridiculous man.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_-bRfH8hws

https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/11/28/october-fires-44th-victim-a-creative-globetrotting-engineer-with-the-kindest-heart/
Azarian spent eight years in Austin, designing radio technology and other wireless circuitry. “The regular puzzles it would take me a day to solve, he could solve it in the blink of an eye.”

“He did say he’d been there for hours. We were trying to put it together.”

Baxman estimated the man had been overtaken by flames at least eight hours earlier when the wind-driven Tubbs fire blew through the region, incinerating thousands of homes. Twenty-two people are known to have died in the blaze.

Azarian was eventually taken to the UC Davis Medical Center in Sacramento, where doctors treated his burns for almost seven weeks. There, he was visited by loved ones, including work colleagues. He was unable to speak or see, but he did communicate through nodding and hand gestures, said Jay Alexander, Keysight’s chief technology officer.

He described Azarian as “very high-energy, very upbeat and friendly.”

“Just a lot of energy for life and work,” he said.

Azarian was born in the mountainous town of Zahlé, Lebanon. His father, Mihran Azarian, died when Michel was young, according to an obituary prepared by a close friend, Khachik Papanyan. He told KQED that the elder Azarian was killed in the Lebanese civil war.

Michel Azarian studied at the prestigious American University of Beirut, where he graduated at the top of his class with a degree in electrical engineering before attending the University of Texas at Austin in 2004 for his master’s degree.

From there, he was hired by National Instruments, where he worked as an engineer, before moving to Linear Technology’s Dallas office.

In 2014, the avid outdoorsman was thrilled to move to the tech company’s San Jose office, where he savored the beauty and hiking Northern California had to offer, said his friend and Keysight colleague, Samir Moalla.

He moved to Santa Rosa in February, (2017), after being hired as an engineer at Keysight, Moalla said. The men became fast friends, bonding over their journeys to America — Moalla is from Tunisia — and food.

“Food, obviously food,” Moalla said, laughing. “I invited him over with my family, and then we became friends. He met my wife, my kids, and I learned that he was a hiker. I tried to convert him into a cyclist, and he tried to convert me into hiking.”

Michel Azarian’s travels took him to six continents in all.

Just this year, he went on a trip across Europe with his mother, Berjouhy Toukhtarian, to New Zealand and Australia with his girlfriend, and to Asia on a work trip, Moalla said.

He documented his adventures extensively through his Instagram account, @michelazarian, where he showcased dramatic sunsets, mountain vistas and portraits of people he encountered on travels.

Azarian posted his last photograph on Oct. 5, a richly colored image of a road shrouded in autumn leaves on a blue-sky day. Its caption reads, “In the Middle of the Road.”

“When he came to California, he was thrilled to be around so many trails,” Moalla said.

“I think growing up, he hiked all his life. One of the reasons he lived (off of) Mark West Springs Road is he liked nature, and he wanted to be in that type of environment.”

Moalla said he first learned of Azarian’s injuries the morning of Oct. 9, when he got a phone call from someone at the hospital asking whether they knew each other.

Moalla
had been trying to get in touch with his friend all morning, well aware of his home’s location “in the danger zone,” he said.

When he got the call, he immediately headed to the hospital in Sacramento, arriving about 7 p.m. Oct. 9.

“He couldn’t see or speak, but obviously he was able to nod,” Moalla said. “We were asking him, ‘Do you recognize us? Do you know who we are?’ And he did recognize us.”

Moalla, along with other Keysight employees, reached out to others close to Azarian, eventually reaching his mother in Lebanon, and arranging for her visa and flight to California to see her son. Cousins and friends from across the country flew in to stand watch by Azarian’s side, Moalla said.

“It would not be an exaggeration to say he had more than 100-150 visits,”
he said. He died Sunday at UC Davis Medical Center.

“I can tell you he’s a special individual,” Moalla said.

“He was very smart, I can tell you that from being around him. He was actually a very smart and responsible individual, and he’s so very creative. I’m pretty sure it’s no accident that he was able to get where he was.”

A memorial service is set for 2 p.m. Dec. 9 in Cupertino at St. Andrew Armenian Church, 11370 S. Stelling Road. Donations toward funeral expenses can be made to the Michel Azarian Memorial Fund through the Armenian Church of Austin at armenianchurchofaustin.net/donate.html.

Flashback:
Hewlett-Packard history lost to Santa Rosa fires
By Richard Chirgwin 29 Oct 2017 at 23:58
https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/10/29/hewlett_packard_history_lost_to_santa_rosa_fires/
Founders' correspondence and documents weren't yet digitized

Updated: HP responds One of Silicon Valley's most important historic archives, that of the Hewlett-Packard company, was destroyed in this month's Santa Rosa wildfires in California.

The Santa Rosa Press Democrat blames the loss of the archives on a decision to remove them from vaults that used to house them.

The paper archives, which hadn't yet been digitised, included more than 100 boxes of correspondence and speeches between William Hewlett and David Packard. They were in the care of Keysight Technologies, which was spun out of HP spinoff Agilent.

Hewlett-Packard was founded in 1939, a year after its founders started working on audio test equipment in the now-famous Palo Alto garage. Their early customers were Hollywood (Walt Disney was among their first, buying their HP200A oscillators to qualify movie sound systems for the release of Fantasia).

The importance of the company's test equipment can't be overstated, since Hewlett-Packard kit enabled the development of the hardware created by Silicon Valley.

The fires, which killed at least 23 Santa Rosa residents and destroyed 6,800 homes, left most of Keysight's campus with minor damage, but the modular buildings that housed the archives were completely destroyed.

More than 300 Keysight staff are working in other locations, and former HP facilities in Rohnert Park’s Somo Village could be used to house 900 personnel by next week, the Santa Rosa Press Democrat says.

The newspaper says the documents were once housed in a fire-protected room, which was "humidity controlled", had no windows and contained "foam retardant", but Keysight spokesperson Jeff Weber responded that the "most destructive firestorm in state history" made it impossible to protect some of the Hewlett-Packard collection. ®

Update: An HP spokesperson has contacted The Register to say the lost documents weren't from the founders. Here is the statement in full:

"At the time of the separation of Hewlett Packard Enterprise and HP Inc., archives were established to ensure the 75+ year history was preserved. These archives are housed in Atlanta, Georgia. During the recent Santa Rosa fire, archives owned by Keysight Technologies (a company spun off from Agilent Technologies; once part of HP) suffered damage. Reports that HP founder archives burned are misleading.

"HP's sites were not impacted and archives remain intact in both physical and digital formats. HP's archives contain hundreds of items related to HP's founders including many examples of speeches, personal correspondence, writings and other materials. In addition, many other materials from the founders are part of public collections, such as the William Hewlett papers (1907-2010) held by Stanford University. The HP Garage where the company was founded is a historical landmark noted as the birthplace of Silicon Valley and serves as a private museum."

We have asked both HP and Keysight to clarify what material was lost. ®

More than 100 boxes of the two men’s writings, correspondence, speeches and other items were contained in one of two modular buildings that burned to the ground at the Fountaingrove headquarters of Keysight Technologies. Keysight, the world’s largest electronics measurement company, traces its roots to HP and acquired the archives in 2014 when its business was split from Agilent Technologies — itself an HP spinoff.

Why wildfires have gotten worse -- and what we can do about it

The title and the following video was from a TED Talk on fire ecology on a landscape level. It should be noted that this is specific to certain areas; Pacific Northwest, yet it relates to other areas. This also brings in the subject of fire return intervals and tree species composition and density. The speaker, Paul Hassberg, does elude to return intervals, and bringing up stand uniformity and monocultures versus intermixed species.

This post is a bit long because it got me looking at the terrain and forests around here while remembering some things. To preface Paul's talk, it should be noted that mountainous terrain vs. lower elevation forest connectivity (and grasses) behave differently under fire conditions (as was seen in the interior of BC this summer). Fire in the mountains (as Paul illustrates) is not connected; it has barriers and its spread is more contained by its natural environment (rock, rivers, aspect, elevation, stand density and age-class etc).

His talk also brings up the older native practices of burning, and I can attest to this from historical background of our area. Of this though, yes, it was practiced, yet to what extent over a massive landscape and for how long, which the speaker does not present exactly, although he implies 10,000 years - and this seems to be a part of his argument, osit. Perhaps, as the subject examples he provides is orientated in Oregon, he might be on solid ground; don't know. Regardless, at least in this part of BC the native population did not necessarily leave the main valleys as big groups in history, so they had no need to do what Hassberg describes, and it does not seem to make sense that they would or even could given the isolation of separate valleys etc.

The implication of Paul's argument could tell one that, a. there is much more human interfacing, b. there is suppression of fire for that very matter and, c. there needs to be a return of some sort to past conditions to avoid what has been seen. How would that be achieved; more logging of patchwork systems, more burning?

Whatever the case, observations via orthophotos of landscape level terrain reveals a solid picture of return intervals of fire and, its historic ability to clean out the competing understory while leaving veteran trees (in pockets or even individually) to survive and re seed - an important natural function between trees and fire. Some trees (particularity some species of Pine and others) require fire return intervals to harden their shells, and that does not happen so much anymore so they tend to get wiped out if there is a big fire.

The old photography from around here (BC) show what Hassberg shows, a historical picture of gaps in the forests canopy and sometimes nothing at all. It also shows old fires (such as he describes) eating up the landscape commensurate with the age class of the stands e.g. he discusses the 1916 fire (so that is one rotation) and now it is a hundred and one years later with a fully recovered and dense stand (a second rotation or whatever rotation based on historical evidence) - yet how far back does the evidence go? Coastal and temperate areas have had many rotations, yet in the mountains i continue to look for evidence, and it is in pockets and not across the landscape it seems. However, maybe it has come in waves between glacial periods (or other anomalous periods) and the signature on the ground is lost showing these very old cycles.

The TED discussion fully talks about the nature of fire suppression (smoky-the-bear style) which is even more pronounced since humans have built houses and whole communities within advanced forest ecosystems. Fires there are quickly addressed if they can be, and with many it is mother nature who usually rules and does the putting out with the potential for much damage done as we have seen this past season.

Hassberg does not discuss the more recent uptick in electrical discharges, nor possible out-gassing from terra (and strong winds), and that needs to be kept in mind. There are also the cycles of either insects or natural diseases/pathogens/fungi that can prepare forest stands for a greater risk of fire return - greater risk and more intense, yet this is nature doing its thing as a cycle.

Of the more recent fires in California, and I've not a good handle on how they ignited, there has been some speculation even by some firefighters who scratched their heads as to cause - no winds (in their areas) and then multiple ignitions - it still could be electrical or other.

What also got me thinking about this (as it relates to my own local area) and the question of how far back does the evidence go, is just how many rotations can be found in the soil horizons (A,B,C etc) - decaying trees/forest litter and the soil derived from them. In some areas (higher elevations) after tilling around, visible are a number of rotations depending on what interrupted the cycle e.g. its full growth and decline or rapid decline through various means; fire, insects, pathology. So, cycles can range from, as example, 75 - 150, 200 - 300 years each. So, how many cycles can be found? If there are 3 cycles it could be 400 - 600 years +/- and then I don't know. Some areas have old veterans trees at very high elevations albicaulis (Whitebark Pine) which can be 500 yrs and even higher to a 1,000 yrs. Lower down in the valleys; completely covered in advanced forest now, there are viable at least 2 - 3 cycle rotations. At home I can find the current stand (of various age classes), and an older stand now gone except for stumps after being harvest for railway ties (late 1800 early 1900's) and slight signs of one more; mostly there are very shallow soil horizons representations and some signatures of carbon or nothing at all put hard-pan - the soils here are clay/silt. So, while the high elevations have evidence of old trees that can be up to 1,000 yrs. there is not much in the soil around them to say that there are second or third rations, and the bottom valleys and slopes seem to suggest lower ages.

So, what was it like 500 years ago? People tend to think it was the same slow change - a Darwin thing, the forests were always there and always the same, yet I don't see the evidence for it, at least here unless old historic stands were all burned and the residue (carbon) washed away. If it was washed away, it would have been glaciation melt or something else that was intense. If it was hot fire then there would also be evidence in the rock; and perhaps there is that I'm not seeing. In some areas after digging in different duff layers, you can still find really good examples of 3 - 4 life cycle layers, yet some signatures might be from smaller understory (existing at the same time) of tree pathology or natural mortality during these stages - the understory natural thinning. Sometimes the soil horizons are intermixed with carbon and the cycle signature is more sketchy.

To make better sense of the signatures; and a slight diversion from trees in the area (yet it has bearing), there were two lake studies done - Cleland Lake and & Paradise Lake http://www.pitt.edu/~mabbott1/climate/mark/Abstracts/Pubs/SteinmanetalQSR16.pdf that sampled sediment cores for oxygen isotope analysis, and the study happens to have been at a place (the former of the two) that I've been to a few times never knowing the study had been done. The lake was chosen because it is a closed basin lake. There was another study (UBC) that brings up provincial lakes in a broad sense from around BC, and mentions that coastal ranges once had trees much higher in elevation (one would need to speculate about this). This study below (which includes pollen) links back 13,000 years and there are big gaps in time going forward to present where there seems to be large swings between wet/dry (spikes and declines in pollen and sometimes carbon) - volcanic activity could be a factor folllowed by cold (frozen over lakes) or a more desert landscape.

In the summary (despite them bringing up the subject right at the end of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions) the dryer conditions in the mid-Holocene seem to be at odds with other thinking:

The study is titled 'Oxygen isotope records of Holocene climate variability in the Pacific Northwest

3.5. Paleoclimate data from the Pacific Northwest

In the following paleoclimate data synthesis, we focus on the mid-Holocene, which we define here as 7500 e 2500 yr BP. We concentrate on the 6000 yr BP time period, which is of particular interest because, relative to the early Holocene, Northern Hemisphere summer insolation levels were still high, winter insolation levels were low, and continental ice sheets were not present (other than those of Antarctica and Greenland). The 6000 yr BP time
period therefore provides insight into climate responses to insolation forcing in the absence of ice sheets from the last glacial maximum and their potential in
influence on synoptic atmospheric patterns (and with minimal influence by differences in greenhouse gases and volcanic forcing relative to present). Notably, in most studies published before 1990 CE, chronologies are discussed in uncalibrated radiocarbon years before present. In many cases these records were dated using bulk sediment rather than macrofossils and therefore were potentially affected by radiocarbon reservoir effects that often lead to ages that are older than the true age of deposition. These limitations make it difficult to discern the timing of events in comparative syntheses that involve older datasets. Hence, our objective is not to characterize the exact timing of transitions from the middle to late Holocene, but rather to discuss the general pattern of Holocene climate change.
[...]
3.8. The 2400 yr BP Cleland Lake isotope anomaly

The Cleland record exhibits several non-stationary negative isotopic shifts from 7000 to 6500 yr BP, 2600 e 2200 yr BP, and 1100 e 500 yr BP, with the largest centered around 2400 yr BP (Fig. 6). During this period d18O values decreased by about 6‰ over a relatively short time. Lake model results indicate that an exceptionally (perhaps unrealistically) large, increase in precipitation-evaporation balance is required to force an isotopic change of this
magnitude
, and point toward other sources of d18O variability, possibly resulting from non-linear lake catchment responses to climate change related to hypsography and/or lake out flow characteristics unaccounted for by the model (Steinman and Abbott, 2013; Steinman et al., 2010b). For example, large isotopic depletions could be caused by surficial overflow (in July 2012 Cleland Lake water levels were ~2 m below the overflow level) due to wetter conditions, which would have reduced the proportion of water lost via evaporation. However, there is no geomorphic evidence of the Cleland Lake outlet having been at a substantially higher elevation in the past. This implies that the anomalous 2600 yr BP excursion was not associated with a rapid down-cutting event and a subsequent change in the lake outflow regime, which could erroneously be invoked to explain the mean state isotopic shift to more positive values after 2400 yr BP. The most likely cause of the excursion is therefore a substantial change in hydroclimatic conditions in at least the immediate vicinity of Cleland Lake.
[...]
Low values in Cleland Lake sediment from 7600 to 2200 yr BP, (and particularly from 2600 to 2200 yr BP) indicate that cold season climatic conditions in southern British Columbia were wetter at this time, and that after 2200 yr BP drier conditions prevailed.
[...]
Analysis of several PMIP3 simulations of mid-Holocene climate support the pattern evinced by the lake sediment data. The model experiments indicate that western North America was drier than present at 6000 yr BP due to large warm season precipitation-evaporation balance anomalies, but that cold season climatic conditions were relatively wetter (Fig. 9). This enhancement of hydroclimate seasonality, as well as the substantial spatial heterogeneity in model simulations, helps to explain the disparity between some proxy records from central/southern British Columbia that indicate wetter conditions during the mid-Holocene, and the majority of proxy data from the greater Pacific Northwest region, which indicates a drier overall climate. The lake and climate model experiments further suggest that inconsistency between proxies could be the result of seasonal sensitivity, in that lake sediment d18O records represent cold season hydroclimatic conditions.

Whatever the case, what Hassberg presents (you can see it in the opening photos) describes a creep effect of the forest from back in time till now, yet it seems to present a dry climate to a wet - progression, rather than just being Indians who burned to allow for better game hunting (yet this is also true as an older range management practice of tribes - yet how long was this done and how widespread?). Again, though, I don't see the evidence in the soil to suggest we had (here in the interior of BC) massive forests back > 500 years ago other than in some coastal or unique places (e.g. favorable geoclimatic microsites) where clearly trees can be 500 - 1,500 + years old with rotations (with evidence of 3,000 years), the landscape seems to have been much different than what one observes now.

The only other thing noticed in some high-growth areas is sampling errors, which is via tree-ring core samples etc. As example, there was area once visited that had data from a forest cruise compilation for an age class 7 (121 – 140 yrs) and when it was looked at more carefully the age class was not this at all, it was actually age class 4 (61 – 80 yrs.) that grew amazingly fast and vigorously - this was a big error and somewhere this error was tabulated as part of the provincial forest inventory. How many rotations in this stands history were there? if there were 4, and that might be a stretch, that landscape had a tree canopy cycle of somewhere around <500 yrs. (this was at 1500 meters elevation).

There is another study that I'm hoping to cross reference from 1992 'The Quaternary Geologic History of the Canadian Rocky Mountains' https://www.erudit.org/fr/revues/gpq/1992-v46-n1-gpq1899/032887ar.pdf with its focus on geology and glaciation - and there were different theories made, which also makes me look at the glaciers themselves and the terrain around them.

It is all a bit of a quandary with different data - missing or unrecognizable data.

Anyway (and thanks for reading), here is Paul Hassberg at TED on fires (transcript included) and it is pretty good talk that brings up some interesting examples:

As an aside, here also is a nice little book on trees (BC) https://www.for.gov.bc.ca/hfd/library/documents/treebook/treebook.pdf

00:12
As you've probably noticed, in recent years, a lot of western forests have burned in large and destructive wildfires. If you're like me -- this western landscape is actually why my family and I live here. And as a scientist and a father, I've become deeply concerned about what we're leaving behind for our kids, and now my five grand kids.
00:40
In the US, an area that's larger than the state of Oregon has burned in just the last 10 years,and tens of thousands of homes have been destroyed. Acres burned and homes destroyed have steadily increased over the last three decades, and individual fires that are bigger than 100,000 acres -- they're actually on the rise. These are what we call "megafires." Megafires are the result of the way we've managed this western landscape over the last 150 years in a steadily warming climate. Much of the destruction that we are currently seeing could actually have been avoided.
01:30
I've spent my entire career studying these western landscapes, and the science is pretty clear:if we don't change a few of our fire-management habits, we're going to lose many more of our beloved forests. Some won't recover in our lifetime or my kids' lifetime. It's time we confront some tough truths about wildfires, and come to understand that we need to learn to better live with them and change how they come to our forests, our homes and our communities.
02:09
So why is this happening? Well, that's what I want to talk to you about today. You see this forest? Isn't it beautiful? Well, the forests that we see today look nothing like the forests of 100 or 150 years ago. Thankfully, panoramic photos were taken in the 1930s from thousands of western mountaintop lookouts, and they show a fair approximation of the forest that we inherited. The best word to describe these forests of old is "patchy." The historical forest landscape was this constantly evolving patchwork of open and closed canopy forests of all ages, and there was so much evidence of fire. And most fires were pretty small by today's standards. And it's important to understand that this landscape was open, with meadows and open canopy forests, and it was the grasses of the meadows and in the grassy understories of the open forest that many of the wildfires were carried.
03:31
There were other forces at work, too, shaping this historical patchwork: for example, topography, whether a place faces north or south or it's on a ridge top or in a valley bottom;elevation, how far up the mountain it is; and weather, whether a place gets a lot of snow and rain, sunlight and warmth. These things all worked together to shape the way the forest grew.
03:57
And the way the forest grew shaped the way fire behaved on the landscape. There was cross talk between the patterns and the processes. You can see the new dry forest. Trees were open grown and fairly far apart. Fires were frequent here, and when they occurred, they weren't that severe, while further up the mountain, in the moist and the cold forests, trees were more densely grown and fires were less frequent, but when they occurred, they were quite a bit more severe. These different forest types, the environments that they grew in and fire severity -- they all worked together to shape this historical patchwork. And there was so much power in this patchwork. It provided a natural mechanism to resist the spread of future fires across the landscape. Once a patch of forest burned, it helped to prevent the flow of fire across the landscape. A way to think about it is, the burned patches helped the rest of the forest to be forest.
05:08
Let's add humans to the mix. For 10,000 years, Native Americans lived on this landscape, and they intentionally burned it -- a lot. They used fire to burn meadows and to thin certain forests so they could grow more food. They used fire to increase graze for the deer and the elk and the bison that they hunted. And most importantly, they figured out if they burned in the spring and the fall, they could avoid the out-of-control fires of summer.
05:41
European settlement -- it occurred much later, in the mid-1800s, and by the 1880s, livestock grazing was in high gear. I mean, if you think about it, the cattle and the sheep ate the grasses which had been the conveyor belt for the historical fires, and this prevented once-frequent fires from thinning out trees and burning up dead wood. Later came roads and railroads, and they acted as potent firebreaks, interrupting further the flow of fire across this landscape.
06:13
And then something happened which caused a sudden pivot in our society. In 1910, we had a huge wildfire. It was the size of the state of Connecticut. We called it "the Big Burn." It stretched from eastern Washington to western Montana, and it burned, in a few days, three million acres, devoured several towns, and it killed 87 people. Most of them were firefighters.
06:44
Because of the Big Burn, wildfire became public enemy number one, and this would shape the way that we would think about wildfire in our society for the next hundred years. Thereafter, the Forest Service, just five years young at the time, was tasked with the responsibility of putting out all wildfires on 193 million acres of public lands, and they took this responsibility very seriously. They developed this unequaled ability to put fires out, and they put out 95 to 98 percent of all fires every single year in the US. And from this point on, it was now fire suppression and not wildfires that would become a prime shaper of our forests.
07:35
After World War II, timber harvesting got going in the west, and the logging removed the large and the old trees. These were survivors of centuries of wildfires. And the forest filled in. Thin-barked, fire-sensitive small trees filled in the gaps, and our forests became dense, with trees so layered and close together that they were touching each other.
08:03
So fires were unintentionally blocked by roads and railroads, the cattle and sheep ate the grass, then along comes fire suppression and logging, removing the big trees, and you know what happened? All these factors worked together to allow the forest to fill in, creating what I call the current epidemic of trees.
08:24
(Laughter)
08:28
Go figure.
08:29
(Laughter)
08:30
More trees than the landscape can support.
08:35
So when you compare what forests looked like 100 years ago and today, the change is actually remarkable. Notice how the patchwork has filled in. Dry south slopes -- they're now covered with trees. A patchwork that was once sculptured by mostly small and sort of medium-sized fires has filled in. Do you see the blanket of trees? After just 150 years, we have a dense carpet of forest.
09:03
But there's more. Because trees are growing so close together, and because tree species, tree sizes and ages are so similar across large areas, fires not only move easily from acre to acre,but now, so do diseases and insect outbreaks, which are killing or reducing the vitality of really large sections of forest now. And after a century without fire, dead branches and downed trees on the forest floor, they're at powder-keg levels.
09:39
What's more, our summers are getting hotter and they're getting drier and they're getting windier. And the fire season is now 40 to 80 days longer each year. Because of this, climatologists are predicting that the area burned since 2000 will double or triple in the next three decades.
10:04
And we're building houses in the middle of this. Two recently published studies tell us that more than 60 percent of all new housing starts are being built in this flammable and dangerous mess. So when we do get a fire, large areas can literally go up in smoke.
10:28
How do you feel now about the forest image that I first showed you? It scares the heck out of me.
10:39
So what do we do? We need to restore the power of the patchwork. We need to put the right kind of fire back into the system again. It's how we can resize the severity of many of our future fires. And the silver lining is that we have tools and we have know-how to do this.
11:02
Let's look at some of the tools. We can use prescribed burning to intentionally thin out treesand burn up dead fuels. We do this to systematically reduce them and keep them reduced.And what is that going to do? It's going to create already-burned patches on the landscapethat will resist the flow of future fires. We can combine mechanical thinning with some of these treatments where it's appropriate to do so, and capture some commercial value and perhaps underwrite some of these treatments, especially around urban areas. And the best news of all is that prescribed burning produces so much less smoke than wildfires do. It's not even close.
11:44
But there's a hitch: prescribed burning smoke is currently regulated under air quality rules as an avoidable nuisance. But wildfire smoke? It simply gets a pass. Makes sense, doesn't it? (Laughs) So you know what happens? We do far too little prescribed burning, and we continually eat smoke in the summers from megafires. We all need to work together to get this changed.
12:16
And finally, there's managed wildfires. Instead of putting all the fires out, we need to put some of them back to work thinning forests and reducing dead fuels. We can herd them around the landscape when it's appropriate to do so to help restore the power of the patchwork.
12:38
And as you've probably figured out by now, this is actually a social problem. It's got ecological and climate explanations, but it's a social problem, and it will take us humans to solve it.Public support for these tools is poor. Prescribed burning and managed wildfires are not well-supported. We actually all simply want fires to magically go away and take that pesky smoke with them, don't we? But there is no future without lots of fire and lots of smoke. That option is actually not on the table. Until we, the owners of public lands, make it our high priority to do something about the current situation, we're going to experience continued losses to megafires.
13:31
So it's up to us. We can spread this message to our lawmakers, folks who can help us manage our fires and our forests. If we're unsuccessful, where will you go to play when your favorite places are burned black? Where will you go to breathe deep and slow?
14:03
Thank you.

Fire in Oakland hills burning multiple homes, prompting evacuations
_http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Fire-in-Oakland-hills-burning-multiple-homes-12424054.php
By Sarah Ravani and Sophie Haigney Updated 6:48 am, Tuesday, December 12, 2017
Multiple houses in the Oakland hills were on fire early Tuesday after a blaze broke out at a residence under construction and quickly spread across dry hillsides, prompting evacuations, officials said.

The fire ignited at 11:30 p.m. Monday at a home being constructed in the 6800 block of Snake Road in the Montclair neighborhood, according to the Oakland Fire Department.

“Multiple homes and hillsides on fire upon arrival, embers raining down all over,” the first firefighters to arrive on scene reported.

There were no immediate reports of injuries, and the cause of the fire was under investigation.

At least two homes, including the one under construction, burned to the ground, and three others were damaged, fire officials said.

A video posted on Twitter by the Oakland Fire Department showed huge orange flames sweeping across dry brush and trees, and headed for homes.

About 50 houses along Colton Boulevard and Asilomar Circle were evacuated.


Initial 911 callers from the area that was burning reported a “fully involved (two -story) house under construction.”

A: Earth change variety. That should get the system going in a big way!!

Q: (Perceval) There was a big crack in Mexico.

(L) Well, earth changes doesn't necessarily mean comets. It can mean big earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, superstorms, onset of an ice age, floods, and all kinds of things.

(Perceval) That's all the fun stuff that we don't get to miss. Comets aren't coming before that happens. That would just be lights out! Here's an open-ended question: Isn't there going to be a big earthquake in California? [laughter]

A: Yes.

Q: (Pierre) When will it hit and where?

A: No dice!

Q: (Pierre) I know...

(Chu) There was also that big amount of CCI4 in the atmosphere. Supposedly it's a pollutant that breaks down the ozone layer, but they don't know where it's coming from. It can be produced from methane, so I was thinking...

(L) There's a lot of methane outgassing going on.

(Chu) Yeah, so they said, "Somebody must be producing it illegally" since it was banned.

A: Wait for a really big outgassing event!

Q: (Andromeda) Ooo! That sounds promising.

(Chu) That's gonna kind of screw up their whole global warming scam.

(Andromeda) They'll hold on until the end, though.

(Perceval) They'll claim a big outgassing event, they'll claim it's a sarin attack or something.

(L) They'll blame it on the bison.

(Perceval) No, Putin did it! [laughter]

(L) Oh, Putin did it, yeah!

Thanks c.a. with keeping track of the updates and reporting on this devastating fire!

Calming winds Friday gave firefighters a chance to gain ground against a huge wildfire in coastal mountains northwest of Los Angeles but the blaze continued to surge west, endangering thousands of homes, as forecasts called for a renewal of gusty winds.

Deadly California wildfire continues to grow Dec 15, 2017
http://abcnews.go.com/Lifestyle/wireStory/firefighter-assigned-largest-california-blaze-dies-51806949

The so-called Thomas Fire, the fourth-largest in California history, was 35 percent contained Friday night after sweeping across 400 square miles (about 1,036 sq. kilometers) of Ventura and Santa Barbara counties since it erupted Dec. 4.

Between Thursday night and Friday morning, the blaze claimed another 3,000 acres as it fed on brush and timber killed by California's long drought or a week of hot, dry weather.

Santa Barbara has had only a tiny amount of rain since Oct. 1, the start of the new water year, and is more than 3 inches (7.6 centimeters) below normal to date.

Firefighters continued to carve firebreaks above the communities of Santa Barbara, Carpinteria, Summerland and Montecito and state fire officials said evacuations would be called as needed as flames advanced.

The fire already has destroyed more than 1,000 buildings, including well over 700 homes, and threatens 18,000 more structures.

Another focus of firefighting was on the eastern flank in canyons where a state firefighter was killed Thursday near the agricultural town of Fillmore.

The death of Cory Iverson, 32, was announced by Chief Ken Pimlott of the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection but he released no information about the circumstances, citing an ongoing investigation by an accident review team.

Iverson was an engineer with a strike team from the San Diego area and had been with Cal Fire since 2009. He is survived by his wife, who is pregnant, and a 2-year-old daughter, as well as his parents and other family.

The National Weather Service forecast extreme fire danger or "red flag" conditions through at least Saturday evening, with winds gusting to 40 mph in the Santa Barbara County mountains where the fire is burning. Firefighters were facing first northerly "sundowner" winds through the night that could turn into northeasterly Santa Ana winds, driving the flames in another direction.

Everything about the fire was massive, from a footprint larger than that of many cities to the sheer scale of destruction that cremated entire neighborhoods or the legions attacking it: more than 8,000 firefighters from nearly a dozen states, aided by 32 helicopters and 78 bulldozers.

Firefighting costs were approaching $89 million.

Meanwhile, firefighters continued to deal with the loss of their own. All 17 of the firefighters on Cory Iverson's five-engine strike team were pulled off the fire lines after his death.

On Thursday night, Ventura County Sheriff Geoff Dean called for a moment of silence during a meeting for Fillmore residents.

"As I was up in the canyon and I watched his fire brethren remove his flag-draped body from the canyon in the hills above where we sit right here, I couldn't help but think about his pregnant wife and his young daughter who will never see their husband and father again," Dean said.

It was the second death linked to the fire. The body of a 70-year-old woman was found in a crashed car on an evacuation route last week.

California’s December wildfires have pushed residents of Southern California, and the mutual aid system, to extremes.

Just as October Wildfires recovery in the Sonoma and Napa areas were hitting their stride, the Thomas Fire blew up, quickly engulfing tens of thousands of acres of land, homes by the hundreds and sparking numerous other fires, all of which burned and threatened more land and homes, displacing tens of thousands of residents and visitors alike from Ventura County to San Diego.

In this edition of Inside Look, Cal OES gives you an update on the status of the Thomas Fire, now the fourth largest wildfire in California’s history, as well as how crucial the mutual aid system is in protecting lives and property and how it works, and the role the Wireless Emergency Alert system played in getting thousands of people out of harm's way.

A: Ukraine explosion; chemical or nuclear. Hawaii crash; aviation, possibly involving military. More California seismic activity after 1st of year: San Diego, San Bernardino, North Bakersfield, Barstow: all are fracture points. Hollister, Palo Alto, Imperial, Ukiah, Eureka, Point Mendocino, Monterrey, Offshore San Luis Obispo, Capistrano, Carmel: these are all stress points of fracture in sequence. "Time" is indefinite. Expect gradual destruction of California economy as people begin mass exodus. Also, Shasta erupts; Lassen activity. Ocean floor begins to subside. Queen Elizabeth serious illness; blood related. Princess Diana suicide attempt. Gas explosions in NE United States, Texas and other. Supernova and unusual weather all over. Memphis feels tremors. Minneapolis banking scandal relates to mysterious Nordic covenant. Evangelical sexual tryst exposed. Gold is discovered in California after one of the quakes. UFOs dramatic increase and Gulf Breeze gets swarmed, becomes massive "Mecca". Laura sees much more UFO activity. Huge wave of UFO activity. All manner and origins. Just you wait, it will give you chills and that feeling in the pit of your stomach. Many aliens will appear and we will be visible too. Think of it as a convention. All must awaken to this. It is happening right now. The whole populace will play individual roles according to their individual frequencies. This is only the beginning. Just you wait "Henry Higgins," just you wait!
