This comes as an after shock from a 6.0 of a couple of days ago in approximately the same location.

I wonder how well the Panama Canal is working now?

If that big dam ever breaches, it's all done!

That’s Dutchsinse, http://dutchsinse.com/ and he’s a crackerjack with earthquakes.

He called the big one in Japan to within a couple of days.

If you live in an area where he warns us to “watch” take the china down off the shelf and hang on tight!

Keep him in your prayers and offer what support you can, as he is apparently on to something the PtB do not want us knowing about, and he is under almost constant attack trying to shut him down and force him off of the internet.

His latest posting was showing strong indications of frustration and despair. I’m a little worried about him.

Great. Now Obama will have an EO to allow supposed Panamanians to stay in the US indefinitely.

Panama has a standard of living comparable to ours. They don’t wanna come here.

Me too. I joined the site too. He reaffirms what I have been saying for years that the sun has the most influence on our climate. But he also says its responsible for triggering quakes.

Thanks for that link. I hadn’t heard of him or his site. Slipping in my old age I guess. I watched 2 videos and bought a year’s membership.

James Berkland, geologist, tried to convince the scientific community back in the ‘70s that the sun and planets had a major effect on earthquake activity. They pretty much laughed at him. He went through hell.

An acquaintance moved there and only "visits" the US twice a year to get her free transplant medications. Each time, everything in and on her house is stolen. (Windows, doors, appliances—police won't press charges on recovered items).

I think if you were to watch the sun in time lapse over hundreds of years you would see it flicker like a flame.

I am not sure if there is any science that shows the output is constant, maybe I am wrong.

But if it does (even just a few degrees) the heating and cooling of the earths crust could easily trigger earthquakes

Yeah, Panama’s a place where refugees got to not leave from. Then again, I understand that Panama’s third largest city is some barrio in Los Angeles.

Maybe even more than that considering the earth get's 15% more light power in Dec. than July because of the orbit variation, and that's a 26,000 terra watt surge yearly.  There's also big variations w/ the various cycles over the years --it all makes green house claims look silly 'cause there's just no way of predicting heating affects.

As for earthquakes, the temp. increases a degree F per 70 feet and the quake's depth it was about a thousand degrees hotter anyway.

It woke us up @ 4AM and seemed to go on forever, but outside of a bit of rattling it was ok. Remember it was 15 miles down under the ocean. Just the same I'd bet a bunch of walls fell over --which probably says more about the walls than the quake. (Not as many trial lawyers here so liability ain't what it is back home.)

As far as the canal goes remember it was designed (like my house) by American engineers so they shouldn't have any problems.

Two lock locations; Pacific and Atlantic. Both sides have two sets of locks dedicated to opposite flowing traffic.

The current Pacific configuration is made up of two locks in each direction with a third farther inland. An additional set of locks to handle much larger ships is under construction.

The current Atlantic side is a group of three locks in each direction. An additional set of locks to handle much larger ships is under construction.

The new locks are being placed into the excavation that was started but never finished in the 30’s and 40’s.

Yes, and according to what they are saying at Suspicious0berservers, it is going to go into a "dormant" part of it's cycle which means we are in for some brutal cold over the next 13 or so years.

Not sure either if it is a hard predictable science, but they are pretty certain we are not causing any climate changes, hot or cold. It's our sun that determines that.
