Here are some photos of the destruction and present day appearance. at hyper-link Some of us on the Syzygyjob website were detecting danger for the region. Jody was hearing sounds for a big quake over a 7 for that area. Catjo was seeing a water disaster in the Indian Ocean and big quakes for Andamans. I was detecting quake off Sumatra, I thought in the 8.2 range and multiple quakes in the 6s off Nicobar Islands. Shan May have had it too, he had not posted on Syz back then. Shan posted a month or 2 later for the 8.6 quake that struck in early 2005. I think we would all have been happy to have gotten it wrong. Worst single tragedy I've ever heard of. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004_Indian_Ocean_earthquake_and_tsunami Excerpt more at wiki link 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake) Page semi-protected 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake 2004-tsunami.jpg Tsunami strikes Ao Nang, Thailand. Date 26 December 2004[1] Origin time 00:58 UTC Magnitude 9.1 Mw[1] Depth 30 km (19 mi)[1] Epicenter 3.316°N 95.854°ECoordinates: 3.316°N 95.854°E[1] Type Megathrust Areas affected Indonesia (mainly in Aceh) Sri Lanka India (mostly in Tamil Nadu) Thailand Maldives Somalia Tsunami Yes Casualties At least 228,000 to 230,000 dead and more missing[2][3][4][5] The 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake was an undersea megathrust earthquake that occurred at 00:58:53 UTC on Sunday, 26 December 2004, with an epicentre off the west coast of Sumatra, Indonesia. The quake itself is known by the scientific community as the Sumatra–Andaman earthquake.[6][7] The resulting tsunami was given various names, including the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, South Asian tsunami, Indonesian tsunami, the Christmas tsunami and the Boxing Day tsunami.[8] The earthquake was caused when the Indian Plate was subducted by the Burma Plate and triggered a series of devastating tsunamis along the coasts of most landmasses bordering the Indian Ocean, killing 230,000 people in fourteen countries, and inundating coastal communities with waves up to 30 metres (100 ft) high.[9] It was one of the deadliest natural disasters in recorded history. Indonesia was the hardest-hit country, followed by Sri Lanka, India, and Thailand. With a magnitude of Mw 9.1–9.3, it is the third-largest earthquake ever recorded on a seismograph. The earthquake had the longest duration of faulting ever observed, between 8.3 and 10 minutes. It caused the entire planet to vibrate as much as 1 centimetre (0.4 inches)[10] and triggered other earthquakes as far away as Alaska.[11] Its epicentre was between Simeulue and mainland Indonesia.[12] The plight of the affected people and countries prompted a worldwide humanitarian response. In all, the worldwide community donated more than $14 billion (2004 US$) in humanitarian aid.[13] |

strangely enough my dream last night I was showing some people houses and the marks on them that had been left showing how far water/mud had gone up....and after that we were at a small area that people were selling their crafts, like necklaces and things made of stones. ... and then I had posted about the frozen waves, and my son youtubed frozen waves and we saw the ones that destroyed homes and then i saw the youtube videos on the Tsunami pictures from the Boxing Day and felt compelled to watch them again since I had that dream last night.....and it made me wonder if more was coming again.... |

What amazed me about the Boxing Day quake and the Great Tohoku quake is that instead of the underlying, subducting plate moving, the plate overlying moved! In the Japan quake, it was thought that quakes at the more shallow part of the plate borders were not as likely to rupture. I had to wrap my mind around that comment and the the overlying plate, meaning that the overlying plate is part of the shelf off Japan, where the (alleged) epicenter was located? I'm not sure where along the overlying plate the Boxing Day quake occured - maybe it is a similar scenario. I say this in thinking about what might be next. I could be totally unaware of the geometries involved in these two megaquakes but it doesn't seem like an overlying plate movement would create a secondary overlying plate movement next to the original one or rather at the ends of the plate rupture in the overlying plate. To my mind, I would think that the underlying plate would be very deformed at the borders of the rupture of the overlying plate (that ruptured and ripped) or even some other 'sticking' point at a different depth of the underlyng slab. The map someone posted on EBe showed that megaquakes often happen at the 50km slab depth, whether it's the underlying or overlying plate in a subduction fault but both of these quakes occurred around 30km depth, considered a shallow depth for their size. How is it that we somehow MISSED a build up of strain in the overlying slabs of these giant ruptures? Possibly, where we have large subduction faults, like Cascadia, capable of a megaquake, we should have strain sensors of some type set up all along the fault. Do we? It sure would make a big difference if we knew a week ahead of these monster quakes, by some means available that we already have or need to put in place, a.s.a.p. Japan Great Tohoku quake (3/11/11) depth, from wiki: The 9.0 magnitude (MW) undersea megathrust earthquake occurred on 11 March 2011 at 14:46 JST (05:46 UTC) in the north-western Pacific Ocean at a relatively shallow depth of 32 km (19.9 mi), with its epicenter approximately 72 km (45 mi) east of the Oshika Peninsula of Tōhoku, Japan, lasting approximately six minutes. Indonesia Boxing Day quake (12/26/04) depth, from wiki: The hypocentre of the main earthquake was approximately 160 km (100 mi) off the western coast of northern Sumatra, in the Indian Ocean just north of Simeulue island at a depth of 30 km (19 mi) below mean sea level (initially reported as 10 km (6.2 mi)). Fantastic that all of the sensitives and those who deduced such a quake by other physical means) on this board got the area ahead of time, all of you, and one Indian or Burmese (?)seismologist who was certain the Indonesian quake was about to happen and tried to warn leaders and universities, in vein. There was simply no warning system set up to give an alert let alone a dire warning to everyone along the rupture. I've heard that parts of Indonesia do have a warning system now so bravo for that! Sorry I don't remember the seismologist's name but someone should be keeping in touch with him- :D Not to mention also, the 100 or so people who called into Coast to Coast radio show, one year ahead of the Indonesian quake, to talk about a graphic dream about giant tsunamis, thought to be coming into SoCal. The number of people with awareness of the coming tsunami was unprecedented from anything I've heard about dream precognition for geologic disaster events. Even Clif High got this one right in the language ahead of the GRB and tsunami with 'electric' and 'water' being key words that popped up repeatedly. The conspiracy peeps went nuts with imagining what that might mean. Also, another factoid that's scary on it's own is the reported, tiny 'earth axis' changes, for each of these quakes, leading to wonder about any greater quakes possible and just how much of a change in earth's axis they or any one quake might create, hhhmm. It would make a good sci-fi movie for now, TG- ;) |

| me too, I had my watches up for Indonesia and Macquarie during those times prior. Have saved it all from the archives. |

Pamela ,good for you to sense that horror. That was something. I think Hannah was detecting that too. Stewart Wilde was on Coast Radio in November 2004 and had a vision for mass destruction and scary time on the coast. He thought it was for the PNW. Silvia Brown also sensed the Indian Ocean for danger. Kerry ? a professor from US went to Sumatra the summer before and passed out survival sheets because he thought a big quake was imminent. In Katmandu the Statue of Shiva was weeping for months before the disaster. Shiva weeps before great disasters. About an hour before it struck I was in a thread with Deb from Baltimore on Syz and we were discussing tsunamis. It's a strange world. |

We need someone in Katmandu to keep a watch on that statue of Shiva for us. Maybe someone can put up a 'Statue of Shiva' cam? Heck, I'd like to go there and check it out myself. Anyone want to come, lol? The view must be breathtaking! I've always wanted to go to Nepal, for a 'nature tour' anytime but in the Fall when the rains and sheite flow freely down the mountain sides- :D |
