“lost in time”: Pacific Ring of Fire, July 2019

Incomplete list of seismic/natural disaster reports from around the Pacific Ring of Fire, July 2019.  Not only is quake and volcano activity ramping up around the Pacific Ring of Fire, it’s ramping up around the planet.

A new business report says seismic surveys “can grow into the most important market in the world that has played an important role in making progressive impacts on the global economy.”

COLOMBIA:  And for more proof you can’t blame humans for climate change, anybody remember the TV show Space 1999?  Turns out the Moon is being pushed from the Earth right, although slowly and not by nuclear waste explosion, but the catastrophic climate change results are the same as in Space 1999: “Earth’s tidal strength is gradually pushing the moon away from us at a rate of about 3 centimeters a year. Therefore, the moon is indeed a potential ploonet once it reaches an unstable orbit.”-Mario Sucerquia, University of Antioquia

The U.S. Navy conducted ‘subject matter expert exchanges’ with Colombian counterparts, including a FEMA Disaster Training course.  The object is to unify disaster response techniques: “It’s cool to see the differences in how we perform similar treatments. We are picking up different ideas from each other, which will improve our abilities, and this training will allow us to integrate easily when we operate jointly.”-Hospital Corpsman 3rd Class Dennis Hueston

Upcoming Latino online news format mitú admitted that many Californians don’t speak English and that disaster response announcements failed to consider that, they also made fun of the stupid ‘white’ people’s reaction to the big quakes: “Some Latinos questioned the dramatic reactions of others, since Latin America knows earthquakes all too well.” (I’m not Latino, but having lived through many big quakes in Iran in the early 1970s and in California in the early 1990s, I agree with mitú’s assessment)
