Title: Storm 'Isaac' and other things
Post by: Sgt.Rocknroll on August 28, 2012, 12:13:52 PM
Well it's 6:00am here in Belle Chasse and all is quiet on the southern front. Got up this morning at 5:00 got my coffee ready, went out side and Orion greeted me in the southeastern sky.I then got the newspaper and turned on the tv for the current tv forecast. Missed my wife last night as she is on storm duty at the local hospital and won't be allowed to leave until the storm passes. Isaac is still off the coast and it's still a tropical storm. The forecasters are predicting all hell's gonna breadk loose around 1:00 pm this afternoon when Isaac gets to the coast. They are predicting that the track will take it up the parish, a little left of us in Belle Chasse (which isn't good, want to be on right side). It will probably get bad around here this afternoon and well into the evening with wind and lots of rain. I will try to post periodic updates during the day as long as the power lasts.

Peace 8)

Be safe, Sarge, it seems Issac is keeping his hair up and may give you a bit of a pass this time...lots of rain though, so hope you are high enough.

Good luck!

10:00pm here. Powers been off since 7:00pm, running on generator now. The eye is pretty close to us, just south and it looks like it'll just pass to the left which means we get the bad stuff. Wife will be on lockdown at the hospital until maybe thursday. All is good so far. Best wishes to all.

Hurricane Isaac Backs Off After Reaching La.
Hurricane Isaac touched down in southeast Louisiana but after two hours it retreated & headed back into the Gulf of Mexico.

Isaac is a sh!thead, Sarge..our thoughts are with you, as it appears that Isaac is nearly stationary here at the 10am hour. A friend who lives in Metairie told me a small levee that keep the water out of his back yard failed, and hes got two feet of muddy water rolling through under his carport..luckily he's on stilts.

Be safe!

QuoteAugust 26, 2012

A shortwave that peaked in six hours has just struck Southern Louisiana. This comes around the same time the swarm of quakes started in Southern California as well.

This is the strongest shortwave reading ever in this project, a solid 10.0 over Southern Louisiana.

No doubt about it, HAARP is tuned onto control Isaac.

Post by: Littleenki on August 29, 2012, 04:56:59 PM
Hmmm, not sure about that page, as the website without the html in the url takes me to this smae page. Isthis someones park page for their results from another verifiable haarp page?

I dont see a realtime haarp page other than the official one, and that just shows output power, not specific location of the signal.

Also haarp may not be able to fire efficiently too far below the midwest, so maybe theres another haarp array somewhere doing this work?

Interesting conspiracy fodder nonetheless!!

What exactly are they showing? What do they mean by 'shortwave'? HAARP uses ELF to influence the ionosphere

Extremely low frequency (ELF) waves are electromagnetic radiation (radio waves) with frequencies from 3 to 300 Hz, and corresponding wavelengths from 100,000 to 1000 kilometers. In atmosphere science, an alternative definition is usually given, from 3 Hz to 3 kHz. In the related magnetosphere science, the lower frequency electromagnetic oscillations (pulsations occurring below ~3 Hz) are considered to lie in the ULF range

Shortwave radio is radio communication using the upper MF (medium frequency) and all of the HF (high frequency) portion of the radio spectrum, between 1,800–30,000 kHz. Shortwave radio received its name because the wavelengths in this band are shorter than 200 m (1500 kHz)

So I don't see what recording shortwave has to do with HAARP and weather control?

You might also want o consider Shortwave Lightning :D

Quote    Lightning Strikes create powerful radio waves in the frequency range of 3 KHz (audio, VLF) through 10 MHz (shortwave radio). The VLF (3000 Hz to 30000 Hz) "lightning signatures" can travel around the world, allowing monitoring of world-wide lightning. The shortwave "lightning signatures can travel half-way around the Earth (the night-time side of the Earth). The best region to listen for distant shortwave lightning signatures is from 2 MHz through 7 MHz. After 3 AM local time you can listen to 3 MHz and hear the beautiful dispersion-ringing of the static as it bounces back-and-forth between the earth and ionosphere. It can at times sound like hundreds of tiny bells ringing at once!

    Red Sprite lightning is a newly-discovered type of lightning that zaps between the 40 mile span between the tops of severe storm clouds to the lower ionosphere "D" layer. Red Sprite Lightning looks like a giant "blood-red"-colored jellyfish having light-blue tentacles. Red Sprite Lightning creates extremely powerful radio emissions from 1000 Hz through VHF.

http://www.stormwise.com/striking.htm

not EVERYTHING is done by HAARP :P  and yeah the range is limited by many factors

and yeah there are other locations like Millstone Hill Observatory

QuoteThe Millstone Hill Observatory, located in Westford, Massachusetts, is a broad-based atmospheric sciences research facility owned and operated by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The Atmospheric Sciences Group, which staffs and manages the observatory, is a part of M.I.T.'s Haystack Observatory, a basic research organization whose focus is radio wave and radar science, instrumentation and techniques.

The central instrument at the Millstone Hill Observatory is the large incoherent scatter radar pictured here. There are nine such radars in the world. For more information on the other stations, try this Interactive Map of Incoherent Scatter Radar Stations. The current status of the Millstone Hill ISR is available online.

Lots of other 'stuff' that can do similar effects... but has noting to do with shortwave :P That is used by Ham operators and radio stations :D

So no way on the harp thing Ron? Yeah I think harrp is the wrong thing to look for for weather modification. Good disinfo but , must be something the Navy has up their sleeve? I mean weather has been their thing for ever , who would love to  control  the weather more ? ;D

I still have a gut feeling that this storm was steered, look at this animation,back when they first started running models,they had no center to work with but they ran the models anyway. The models had it coming right to Tampa in time for the RNC.Then as the storm was about 70 Degrees west it suddenly slides southwest and they run the models again @80 degrees west  and lo and behold it misses Tampa

i called this week.go over to protos sight and look under predictions.
i even told sarge where i thought it would make land.
next one will make landfall west of sabine or east coast.if there is another hurricane this year.isaac cooled off the gulf really well.now this prediction will hold if ol miss cools off.if she doesnt from this storm then the next one will make landfall in new orleans again.but i still think haarp is behind it.

the us army said they will have total control of weather by 2025.that means they can now.notice the word total.thats what they mean.stuff is always released twenty years later.
that means haarp was behind katrina and joplin.
thats what i believe.
just call me a conspiracy nut.

why tell us,to square away russia and china.

But what Isaac lacked in power more than made up for it in duration. Man i thought it would never end. Lots of water, more than katrina. Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers.

im glad your ok sarge,was getting worried about you.
why,to test different scenarios,to stimulate the in country economy as most materials that go into homes is american made,because most insurance is backed by loyds of london which is a way to sap old money to stimulate the economy while also spreading the hit over all the people who also pay for insurance.
notice most damage is in central us.most damage dollars will stay here.
you have to admit i guessed right on location of landfall?even a blind squirrel eventually will find a nut? or our noaa are not real smart?or maybe im a genius?well im not,its obvious.
yes your country is murdering its own.otherwise why didnt they use haarp to stop it?
why would the us gov have soldiers guarding the facility yet universities with nuke reactors are left open to the public.
there is some serious stuff going on in that facility.expect more.
if this storm doesnt cool off old miss then expect another one clobbering sarge again.

I'm not as young as i used to be and the ol' heart won't let me work cleaning up after the storm, so my wife and daughter did a great job while i watched the grandkids.

Pecans appear to be green ?  as they are still in green pods ?

Can grab a pic in daylight and you decide - if we can

figure out the process... see below.


One has to appreciate the technology that makes it possible for me to post this.

My Galaxy III is on the dashboard of the truck in the parking lot,

about 100 feet from my laptop in the room

(which does not receive any signal whatsoever on the phone inside).


The phone provides the hotspot for the laptop wifi -

wifi reaches laptop - voila - we be here.


It also works in the truck when we are mobile... :o   8)

Now, if we could figure out how to post the pics directly

from said phone.


Will investigate YouTube now..

Love to all :-*

Okay my bad  my point fell off the cliff   :-[

Sorry for going off like i did. Stress is an amazing thing. What really chaps my butt is now they're saying the delay was because they had to assess all the leaning poles and broken cross bracings. Well the fact of the matter is all the ones they're currently straighting are from KATRINA! We've had poles on BC hwy at a 20-30 degree lean off 90 for SEVEN YEARS!!! So yeah I'm a little pissed! But all will be forgotten as soon as football season starts!

Oh and they let contractors from out of state in the parish for tree removal and they under cut the locals.

Greetings:

As one of those 'out of state contractors', we have found that the 'locals' have had it their way for so long that they have routinely over-charged their customers because they have had no real competition.

My company can usually remove a tree from a structure more efficiently and at a lower cost than most of the 'locals' because that is what we do for as living - not a side business to landscaping - for example.

We have done a number of FREE jobs through the Antioch Missionary Baptist Church here -
how many FREE jobs did your 'local boys' give away?    ???

Besides that, when TSHTF in past storms, the locals were overwhelmed and needed the out of state contractors.


We came from North Georgia

on our own dime

to assist those in need

and have not charged a penny    8)



the local cry babies
can stuff it or grow up

Believe me I'm not anti-out of state contractors, but I would much rather have my fellow parish members working than out of state people. We have a lot of low income people that need the work. This storm was only bad, not because of the winds but because of the duration and the lack of power. And just exactly what do you mean 'had it their way for too long'? This is OUR home.

this reminds me of gangs of new york,where the two volunteer fire stations fight over who gets to salvage, while the house burns.

And then there is the fact that there could be some people who dont have generators and need power to keep their ventilators going.

Babies who might need their milk warm and not bloody cold.

There are those issues too before they start haggling over their rates.

One day there may be no power for a long time... what then?  Have Hu-mons forgotten the basics? I know they did in Japan...

May I suggest....

For emergency...  you can sterilize water, have a bath and even make tea :D

We agree totally.

Most of what we do is beyond the pay grade of the 'local boys'    ;)
and saw nary a one of them immediately after Katrina    :'(
assisting authorities with opening roads for emergency vehicles    ???


QuoteWe have a lot of low income people that need the work.

Again, these fine people are useful for yard clean-up, etc.
but do not have the equipment nor expertise as we do    ;D

We are heavily insured, volunteer firefighters
with the appropriate equipment and years of experience

who are professionals in our field and specialize
in removing trees from structures safely
and at a lower cost than the locals because
that is what we do all the time - not pick-up work
after hurricanes as an aside to a landscaping business    ;)


QuoteThis storm was only bad, not because of the winds but because of the duration and the lack of power.

And just exactly what do you mean 'had it their way for too long'? This is OUR home.


Just exactly what I said. 

We were in Louisiana and Mississippi for over a year
after Katrina/Rita and many times underbid the locals
on BLIND BIDS because they charge more than we
professionals do and then they bitch    ???

You'all sang a different tune when we were first-in after Katrina   ;)

BTW, just exactly how many FREE tree removals
did your 'local boys' accomplish post-Isaac?


After all, it is YOUR home and
you'all take care of your own - right?
    8)


BTW, we left all of Louisiana to the locals and have returned to Georgia.

Indeed, Z, soon after any calmity the gas will be scarce and the food even scarcer.

Kinda reminds me of Thanksgiving at Ginnie Springs!

We made a pact one year to live off the land for a week, and it was the most exciting and amazing week ever. We ate bass and perch, while cooking our food and water from the spring over a raging fire which was built in the middle of a wet, hollow log 4 feet in diameter, and 10 feet tall.

The holes in the sides of the log allowed for food to be cooked and also for wood to be added to it. That fire burned for six days until the log finally came crashing down in an ashen heap.

We all agreed we would do this every year, and have ever since!

Anyone game for camping this year? See ya there, but dont bring any generators or ice...we dont allow them!:D

Just guns, hand axes, and plenty of fishing gear!

And yes, we do bring some beer.... 8)

Thor, the folks down there are surely thankful for your efforts, youre a giant among men brother!

Cheers!

We agree.

Always here to assist - whether it's appreciated - or not.    ???


I sincerely hope you take none of this personal, my friend.   :-*

We speak only the truth from personal experience.    8)

Perhaps we snapped back a bit too quickly
(not a lot of sleep post-landfall for first-responders),
however, perhaps next time you might consider
a smaller brush when painting your
out of state friends who come to help   
- and offer their generator (delivered)   ;)

We still love you    :)

i would have guessed most chainsaws would be ruined after a hurricane and flood.
fuel would be almost impossible to find.
better to have them come and not need them than need them and they not showup.
then they may need some gas money to go back home.if im in an emergency situation i dont care who shows up,im greatful.
