      Edgar Cayce has predicted the "greater Japan will fall into the sea" his prophecies have been well documented and its also believed the US govt takes him pretty seriously.
      Was Cayce's Prediction Wrong or Did It Just Begin?
      Cayce makes a couple more mentions of the pole shifts. When talking of future problems, he only brings it up a few times over the many years. As to the changes ~ The earth will be broken up in the western portion of America. The greater portion of Japan must go into the sea. The upper portion of Europe will be changed as in the twinkling of an eye.

    Regarding the referenced 188 day cycle:

    It would be interesting though, to see if there are any 7.0+ earthquakes in between the dates used to make the prediction. I almost have to think there would be. Why yes, there are. Selective statistics hard at work. The only real correlation is that the 2010 and 2011 8.0+ were almost exactly 1 year apart. And the 7.0+ they picked for fall of 2011 was not the 2nd largest EQ of 2011, it was the one in July (Not in the theory range). Also, I checked planetary alignments as additional tidal forces could stress the earth's crust, but the 188 days doesn't line up with any patternistic alignment (though if it were longer than 188 days, it would line up with times that the Earth, Jupiter and the Sun are in alignment).

    Earthquake data from earthquake.usgs.gov:

    Magnitude 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012
    8.0 to 9.9 1 1 0 1 2 1 2 4 0 1 1 1 0
    7.0 to 7.9 14 15 13 14 14 10 9 14 12 16 23 19 2

    Magnitude 1990 1991 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999
    8.0 to 9.9 0 0 0 0 2 2 1 0 1 0
    7.0 to 7.9 18 16 13 12 11 18 14 16 11 18

      Aww, the data table looks bad, but the point is that there are more than 10 earthquakes per year that exceed 7.0, and in fact, in 2007 there were 4 quakes in excess of 8.0, while 2008 saw 0 over 8.0…

      Very good work, huskydawg44. These are the kinds of things I use for my predictions. Also, Mars at station is a really strong indicator.

      Hint. Check the nuymber of days Mars is both R/ or station, compared to the number of days of his orbit cycle. It is a very large number. Too large to be random, methinks. Have fun!

      I've been too busy with trying to keep the management of our Seniors complex from killing us all. Pick your poison, I calls it–death by management or death by EQ. Anyway, just wanted to let you know, I'm on the same page in terms of indicators.

    More quakes to widen the breaches and caverns under the melted reactors.

      I worry more about the collapse of SFP4.

        Don't worry about collapse, a sufficiently sized crack that outpaces TEPCO's ability to pump in water will be sufficient. Once the water level is insufficient to shield the fuel they will rapidly run out of options.

        I've got a feeling that every time a quake shakes those RPV husks, that more and more of the guts that sit around and above the core shake loose and collect near the bottom head flange. I think that there is a quantity of corium that remained in the vessel around the same area and that these collections are building the heat level in the RPV. I have a hunch that there may be a pattern in the series of earthquakes –> shifting RPV materials –> temp increases –> emission increases –> increase in fallout rates to the nearby prefectures. I haven't done any research on this, so I would welcome any feedback or ideas.

    4.6 earthquake, Taiwan. Mar 22 7:44am at epicenter (14m ago, 74km NE of T'ai-tung, depth 18km). http://t.co/EpFIJDvq

    as corium greets earth's crust, bound to have a few underground nuclear explosions at least hydrogen explosions, right?
