Degradation of the planet’s magnetic field, the implications of shifting climatic patterns the alarming rise in the number of extreme weather events that have occurred in 2011. Could these events in someway be also associated with Earth’s polarity reversal? The planet’s jet-stream has also become more erratic and is experiencing wild frenzied migrations, resulting in the outbreak of an unprecedented number of extreme weather events that have reaped destruction across the globe. No one knows what the full effects of a magnetic reversal will be on planet Earth since the last such event, according to scientists, occurred 780,000 years ago when no one was around to record the effects of it. NASA, however, has gone to great lengths to assure the public that events connected with polarity reversals are quite benign. Similarly, we might also add, the compounding effects of the Sun and cosmic rays on Earth’s climatic processes during this magnetic disorientation period are also undetermined and unassessed scientific variables. So, is the rise in these extreme weather patterns and natural disasters merely a cyclical consequence of our time or do these events lend themselves to the prophetic warnings from the ancients suggesting major changes have already begun altering the biosphere of the planet we know as Earth? D.S. Allan & J.B. Delair wrote as early as 1995: “Significantly, a drop in Earth’s entire magnetic field appears to have occurred somethime between 13,750 and 12,350 years ago. This was attended by various important changes, including earthquakes, volcanism, water table fluctuations and large-scale climatic variations.” -Cataclysm: compelling evidence of a cosmic catastrophe in 9500 B.C.

Extreme wind storms are wreaking havoc on cities across the globe from Colombo, Sri Lanka to Pasadena, California but weather extremes are also occurring on the other side of the globe in Australia. Perth Australia had 57 days over 32 degrees, the longest hot spell since records began in 1897, smashing the average number of hot days of 33.9. Brisbane and the Gabba experienced it driest weather in 29 years. “In the first four days of this summer, Sydney has now failed to reach 23 degrees, making it the coolest start in 44 years,” Weatherzone meteorologist Brett Dutschke said. “The city is on target for its coolest start to summer in 51 years,” Dutschke said. The Washington Post said: “Spring 2011 may well go down in the weather history books as the most extreme on record. From the massive April tornado swarm, to record Mississippi river levels, to extreme drought and wildfires in the Southwest, weather extremes were both violent and relentless, taking a terrible toll on human life and the economy.”

Climate in chaos: There were more than 575 tornadoes death in 2011- the 6th highest record ever recorded. April of 2011 saw the largest outbreak of tornadoes the U.S. meteorological service has ever recorded- 875 twisters, when the average for the last decade was only 161. It was also the wettest March-May on record in 10 U.S. states: Washington, Wyoming, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York, and Vermont. Precipitation was 300% above normal for this same period in most of the Ohio Valley. 1300 daily precipitation records were broken in April across the Midwest and South; 72 locations reported their wettest day in any April, five of which set all-time daily rain records (for any month). There was, in fact, so much precipitation that a record 6.8 million acres of land was flooded in the Lower Mississippi River Valley. While some parts of the U.S. basked in record precipitation totals, the U.S. southwest also saw some of the worst drought conditions on record. March through May of 2011 was the driest on record in the history of the state of Texas. As a matter of fact, extreme to exceptional drought conditions ravaged much of the southern U.S. from southeast Arizona through New Mexico, much of Texas, and along the Gulf Coastline to the Florida panhandle. Record flooding was also reported in parts of Australia, Pakistan, Europe, Colombia, Central America, Bolivia, China, Brazil, Vietnam, India, the Philippines, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Thailand. The 2011 July heat-wave in the U.S. was one of the worst in more than 140 years- more than 2000 temperature records were shattered during this period. In contrast, record snowfall totals were also recorded across the globe from the Sierra Mountains and Oklahoma to the record snowfall totals reported in July in Chile’s Atacama Desert- which is one of the driest regions on the planet. Record snowfall totals were also reported.

Planet shaken by earthquakes: Besides the devastating 9.0 March 11, Tōhoku Japan earthquake, which was one of the strongest earthquakes recorded in Japan’s history, there were four more earthquakes that struck Japan of the 7.0+ magnitude range. There were three 7.0+ magnitude earthquakes.

View from the bluff just south of Wickliffe, KY looking toward the confluence of the Ohio River. Can barely see Cairo in the distance toward the end of the clip. Ohio River stage was just inches below the record 1937 flood. I believe the barges are the ones carrying the explosives to blow the Birds Point levee.

The Mississippi River continues to rise, so much so that its tributaries are starting to flow backwards. At Tom Lee Park, preps for Memphis in May continue knowing that the worst is still yet to come.
It’s a site not often seen; the Wolf River and Nonconnah Creek are flowing backwards. The swelling river cannot take on much more water. The tributaries flowing backwards are a big problem for the adjacent communities

Check out my musical journey over the Morganza Spillway on May 16, 2011. At the time of this filming, 9 of the 125 gates are open. According to Wikipedia, The Morganza Spillway, a 3,900-foot (1,200 m) controlled spillway using a set of flood gates to control the volume of water entering the Morganza Floodway from the Mississippi River, consists of a concrete weir, two sluice gates, seventeen scour indicators, and 125 gated openings which can allow up to 600,000 cubic feet per second (17,000 m3/s) of water to be diverted from the Mississippi River into the Atchafalaya Basin during major floods.

MARTIN SAVIDGE, CNN NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT:

http://buddyhuggins.blogspot.com/2011/05/cnn-reporter-martin-savidge-flood-2011.html

Reporting on flooding along the Mississippi River and how it could affect people in many ways.

For a more contextual perspective on the flooding, I like this fine feature report by CNN’s Martin Savidge. It links the history of U.S. Highway 61 with the Mississippi River and much of the society wrapped around the two. Savidge stayed dry the entire time.

A short summary of a visit to the area around the St. Louis Arch in St. Louis Missouri.

Filmed on a Canon 60D with a Sigma 28mm Prime lens @24p. It was very sunny that day so I had to set aperture pretty low. Color corrected with Premiere Pro CS5.

Facts about the Arch:

The Gateway Arch is the tallest national monument in the United States at 630 feet.

Construction began February 12, 1963, and the last section of the Arch was put into place on October 28, 1965.

The Arch weighs 17,246 tons. Nine hundred tons of stainless steel was used to build the Arch, more than any other project in history.

The Arch was built at a cost of $13 million.
