Here in eastern Iowa its hard to put 2 good dry days together to get anything done. Down south you can't get even one drop of moisture. Arizona's on fire, the Mighty Mo is flooding kicking butt and taking names, the eastern US is wet and tornado's are hitting all over. What bothers me is the news report when Japan had their earthquake. Scientist said it was so powerful that the earth was knocked of its axis by 3 degrees. This bothers me. Three degrees is a bunch when you look at the whole picture.If you guys agree then give your thoughts and if ya think I'm nuts just type in NUT. Ain't gonna hurt my feelings any.
 
i'm no scientist but i can't bring myself to believe that the earth was effected that much by an earthquake, you're right 3 degrees is a lot but how many large earthquakes has the world had that nobody said anything was amiss ????
 
And did you ever notice when they have a fairly big one on that side of the world we have some sort of one over here within a couple weeks This has not happened yet in form of in any major quakes.

We had August heat last month. no real spring just went to summer.

I believe someone is trying to tell us something and it's not the duck running around saying "the sky is falling "
 
3 degrees seemed like a lot- so I Googled "japan earthquake earth axis", and they said 6.5 inches (3 degrees would be about 208 miles!). I sure don't think that would be enough to do anything.

Supposedly, theres a strong La Nina going on right now- very cold water off the N. Cal, Oregon and Washington coasts. That makes our weather cold and wet (worst spring on record, here), and that cold and wet goes east across the rest of the midsection. Tornado action was more violent because of greater temp. differential between warm from the south and cold from the north.

Not sure how the extreme hot and dry of Texas and the southwest fits into all that.
 
Nowhere near 3 degrees, which would be well over 200 miles. NASA says it caused a wobble in earth's axis of about 6.5 inches, but no change in earth's axis relative to position in space.

I would not be surprised to hear that some newsfolk [i:654c4848f0]reported[/i:654c4848f0] that some scientist said that.
 
Yea, had heard less than 8 inches - like others are saying.

We are in weatherpatterns governed by hot & cold spots, which influences our winds and water vapor. They actually feed off of themselves, to bring the next wave of weather pattern.

We are perhaps entering a cooler period through much of the USA, which brings cool weather & lots of rain in the northern 2/3s, and hot dry weather over the gulf - a tad higher this time around than usually.

In 10 years we will have a different pattern.

And so on.

It all comes around again. As you age, you see that it's all been done before, happened before, here we go again. ;)

Nah; men on the moon don't have nothin' to do with it. It's that rotten Bush messin' with the weather again and he's trying to cause trouble for Madison County. Or maybe it's the ghost of old Wash Loomis up there in Nine Mile Swamp that's causing all of these weather disturbances.
 
Since the earth is not being "propelled" by anything and the sun's mass and therefore gravitational pull on earth is decreasing then it would be a safe bet that orbit distances/speed are constantly changing.....naaa, let's just blame it on Bush!
