  Hurricane Sandy pounds Jamaica, then aims at Cuba
  – could morph into winter storm for U.S. northeast
  Posted on October 25, 2012

  October 25, 2012 – KINGSTON, Jamaica — Hurricane Sandy… hit Jamaica as a category 1 hurricane then strengthened as it spun over open sea toward Cuba. U.S. forecasters said it had maximum sustained winds of 90 mph (150 kph) late Wednesday and might grow into a category 2 storm before going ashore. It was moving north at about 13 mph (20 kph) and hurricane-force winds extended outward up to 30 miles (45 kilometers) from the center. …The hurricane’s eye crossed over Jamaica by Wednesday evening and emerged from its northern coast near the town of Port Antonio, meteorologists said, but rain and winds continued to pound the Caribbean island into the night. It was the first direct hit by the eye of a hurricane on Jamaica since Hurricane Gilbert 24 years ago… –Chron

  Snow, gale-force winds, hurricane remnants, full moon (high tides):
  forecasters warn of ‘perfect storm’ scenario
  Posted on October 25, 2012
  
  October 25, 2012– NEW YORK  – Much of the U.S. East Coast has a good chance of getting blasted by gale-force winds, flooding, heavy rain and maybe even snow early next week by an unusual hybrid of hurricane and winter storm, federal and private forecasters say. Though still projecting several days ahead of Halloween week, the computer models are spooking meteorologists. Government scientists said Wednesday the storm has a 70 percent chance of smacking the Northeast and mid-Atlantic. Hurricane Sandy in the Caribbean, an early winter storm in the West, and a blast of arctic air from the North are predicted to collide, sloshing and parking over the country’s most populous coastal corridor starting Sunday. The worst of it should peak early Tuesday, but it will stretch into midweek, forecasters say.

  …Forecaster Jim Cisco of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration prediction center in College Park, Md. “We don’t have many modern precedents for what the models are suggesting.” It is likely to hit during a full moon when tides are near their highest, increasing coastal flooding potential, NOAA forecasts warn. …They say it has all the earmarks of a billion-dollar storm. Some have compared it to the so-called Perfect Storm that struck off the coast of New England in 1991, but Cisco said that one didn’t hit as populated an area and is not comparable to what the East Coast may be facing.  …“The Perfect Storm only did $200 million of damage and I’m thinking a billion,” said Jeff Masters, meteorology director of the private service Weather Underground. “Yeah, it will be worse.”

  …Chief hurricane specialist, James Franklin, said the threat keeps increasing for “a major impact in the Northeast, New York area. In fact it would be such a big storm that it would affect all of the Northeast.” –Time

  Climate-changing methane ‘rapidly destabilizing’
  off East Coast, study finds
  Posted on October 25, 2012

  October 25, 2012 –NEW YORK – A changing Gulf Stream off the East Coast has destabilized frozen methane deposits trapped under nearly 4,000 square miles of seafloor, scientists reported Wednesday. And since methane is even more potent than carbon dioxide as a global warming gas, the researchers said, any large-scale release could have significant climate impacts. …Using seismic records and ocean models, the team estimated that 2.5 gigatonnes of frozen methane hydrate are being destabilized and could separate into methane gas and water. It is not clear if that is happening yet, but that methane gas would have the potential to rise up through the ocean and into the atmosphere, where it would add to the greenhouse gases warming Earth. The 2.5 gigatonnes isn’t enough to trigger a sudden climate shift, but the team worries that other areas around the globe might be seeing a similar destabilization. “It is unlikely that the western North Atlantic margin is the only area experiencing changing ocean currents,” they noted. “Our estimate … may therefore represent only a fraction of the methane hydrate currently destabilizing globally.” The wider destabilization evidence, co-author Ben Phrampus told NBC News, includes data from the Arctic and Alaska’s northern slope in the Beaufort Sea. And it’s not just under the seafloor that methane has been locked up. Some Arctic land area are seeing permafrost thaw, which could release methane stored there as well.

  … We may approach a turning point” from a warming driven by man-made carbon dioxide to a warming driven by methane, Jurgen Mienert, the geology department chair at Norway’s University of Tromso, told NBC News. “The interactions between the warming Arctic Ocean and the potentially huge methane-ice reservoirs beneath the Arctic Ocean floor point towards increasing instability,” he added. –USNEWSNBC

  Waxing moon between planets Uranus and Neptune on October 25

  Don’t expect to see the planets Uranus and Neptune in the glare of tonight’s waxing gibbous moon. But you can use the moon on the night of October 25 to get a ballpark idea of where these distant planets reside in front of the backdrop stars.

  …As seen from around the world tonight, the moon shines fairly close to the border of the constellations Aquarius and Pisces. Uranus lies to the east of the tonight’s moon, in front of the constellation Pisces, and Neptune is to the west of the moon, in front of the constellation Aquarius.

  Note the ecliptic on the feature chart at top. The ecliptic depicts the Earth’s orbital plane projected onto the stellar sphere. Because the planets of the solar system circle the sun on nearly the same plane that the Earth does, practiced sky watchers know to look for the planets on or near the ecliptic.

  
  aNNa’S FootNotes:  Okay.  First of all… all four of these on the same day, just six days before All Hallow’s?  wOw.  No, seriously - wOw.

  Second of all… let’s start with the last article (since that’s what’s on my screen w/o scrolling up).  Nevermind Neptune and Uranus – they’re not visible to the naked eye, anyhow – but we CAN see the constellations.  And what is our moon about to do?  It’s going to cross the eliptical between Aquarius (aqua=WATER) and Pices (fish=WATER).  Cheshvan 17… it’s a day associated with…?  ((c’mon, you can do it…))  WATER.  And of course, looking at the articles, we’re also seeing…?  WATER events on a massive scale.  ((Is it me, or am I sounding a LOT like Marshall Flinkman?))

  Third… was it yesterday?  I think it was yesterday I posted a little news thinger directing you to two articles Tomer Devorah wrote about a) Deepwater Horizon and b) Fukishima sinking.  I pointed out that we haven’t heard anything about these two massive events, and that it’s been quite a while… but now suddenly we are seeing renewed activity in regards to those events… BOTH of which are Trump judgments being set up ahead of time (that have not reached the apex of their effect on the globe). 

  NOW what we’re seeing – today! – is a perfect storm from a mix of variables – full moon/high tides, rain front from the west, tropical storm from the south, wind currents, etc.  And it’s all supposed to ‘peak’ right on Erev Cheshvan 17.  I think this is DEFINITELY worth noting.  Because He uses patterns, and repeats things… and we’re looking at some serious irony/coincidence, here.
