A major 8.0 magnitude earthquake jolted the Solomon Islands, with small tsunami waves buffeting Pacific coastlines, leaving at least five people dead and dozens of homes damaged or destroyed.

A quake-generated wave of just under three feet reached parts of the Solomons, and Vanuatu and New Caledonia also reported rising sea levels, before a region-wide tsunami alert was lifted.

Several hundred unusual fish, about a meter and a half long, stranded on the shores of Valelunga beach near Pula, Croatia in Adriatic Sea on February 4/5, 2013, the same day that M 4.5 struck the region. Several hundred fish, which can live as dead. Eyewitnesses were trying to get them back into the deeper water but the fish was constantly coming back. According to biologist Neven Iveša, it is probably Trahipterus trahypterus, also known as the fish sword, which usually live in a depth of 200 to 500 meters and very rarely comes to the surface. Iveša said it was...

I came across this quote by the late, great Joseph Campbell and it spoke to me about our situation in the world today.  “ I don’t believe people are looking for the meaning of life as much as they are looking for the experience of being alive”. I think this is what is so wrong in the world today. The world is filled with empty shells of people shuffling through their lives without connection to them. We have become a world of zombies, we do not feel, we do not experience, we do not care, we don’t even know who we are. Our lives have been hijacked and taken over by other forces with evil intentions to never let us be who we truly are. We have been molded and tweaked into whomever they desire us to be, we plod along without question, we do as we are told, we are almost at the point of being brainless. Fortunately, all of that is changing, as we awaken to the truth of the situation we find ourselves in!

A solar flare registered as C8.7 was detected at 00:21 UTC on February 6, 2013. The source of the flare was decaying Active Region 1667. According to images from NASA’s STEREO-B spacecraft, the associated CME appears to be heading in the Earth direction, with expected time of arrival on February 8/9, 2013.   ALERT: Type II Radio Emission Begin Time: 2013 Feb 06 0013 UTC Estimated Velocity: 548 km/s Description: Type II emissions occur in association with eruptions on the sun and typically indicate a coronal mass ejection is associated with a flare event.

AFFIRM:
 

I am awakened to the wholeness of Being this day
and richly experience my Light as it moves Spirit's love
out into the world.

I am instrumental in propelling and anchoring this
common Origin within my daily movements in order that
others may feel the gloriousness of being an individuated
act of Oneness and Sacred Unity.

The capacity to love deepens the perception of self
and expands my Self-Authority so thankfully I lead
from that place that knows Itself as whole,
that knows Itself as complete,
that knows Itself as fully formed and developed.
Hallelujah!
And so it is.

The Watchers - 2/06/13, By Chillymanjaro

Massive subduction earthquake, registered as M 8.0 (USGS/EMSC), hit Santa Cruz Islands at 01:12 UTC on February 6, 2013. The epicenter was located at coordinates 10.752°S, 165.089°E, about 81 km (50 miles) W of Lata, Solomon Islands at depth of 5.8 km (3.6 miles) (poorly constrained). Update 06:00 UTC: Unfortunately the Lata Hospital is expecting further casualties of this tsunami. They have confirmed that around 700 people live in the 3 villages destroyed but many people would have escaped. If we take the Koshimura (2006) percentages seen in Banda Aceh from the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami. For a 2m tsunami, the death ratio was around 0.08-0.1 thus around...

February 6, 2013 – SOLOMON ISLANDS - Several people were killed when tsunami waves generated by a major earthquake slammed into the Solomon Islands, damaging villages, as warnings were triggered across the Pacific. At least five people died after the 8.0 magnitude quake struck near the remote Santa Cruz Islands in the Solomons at a depth of 28.7km. Two powerful aftershocks of 6.4 and 6.6 magnitude were also recorded. “We can report five dead and three injured. One of the dead was a male child, three were elderly women and one an elderly man,” said Chris Rogers, a registered nurse at Lata Hospital in the Santa Cruz Islands.
