Queen Charlotte Islands Quake Activity

Hey guys,

Since there is quite a deal happening on the East Coast of the US, in the Middle East, and regarding seismic activity in Western Canada, I'm going to be limiting quake updates this evening solely to 6.0 events and greater so that I can keep on top of everything. 

Busy times indeed.

COMING CRISIS ALERT: Hurricane Sandy moves to pummel Eastern Seaboard via "super storm"

UPDATE: November 1, 2012

Hurricane passed. Alert lifted.

UPDATE: October 29, 2012

Atlantic City is currently "mostly under water".

UPDATE: October 29, 2012

Hurricane Sandy has begun landfall. 700,000+ are currently without power, and major cities are continuing their evacuations. Massive flooding has begun to take place along the Eastern Seaboard.

Hurricane Sandy, as well as an arctic cold front moving down from Canada, will soon merge into a "perfect storm" over the Eastern half of the North American continent. This is set to take place in just a few hours, when Sandy will begin to make landfall.

Mandatory evacuations have begun in New York, and the entire New York transit system will be shut down as of 7pm this evening, in just 30 minutes. All large vessels in New York harbour have been ordered out to sea in hopes of avoiding the coming hurricane.

Alerts, evacuations, state of emergency declarations and preparations have taken place in all states along the entire Eastern Seaboard of the United States. The Canadian Red Cross has issued an alert statement that residents of Ontario and Eastern Canada have three days' worth of food and water on hand in the event of an emergency scenario.

The last time a hurricane arrived there was a great amount of hype and worry, and just like that instance, this too may simply fizzle out. Erring on the side of caution, especially since this "super storm" will cover at least one third of the United States and Canada, we would like to issue the following emergency instructions:

EMERGENCY INSTRUCTIONS:

1. If you have not already acquired these items, immediately procure a three days' supply of food, water and essential medicines. The most important of these items is fresh water, as flooding may contaminate public drinking water systems and reservoirs.

2. Consider temporarily abandoning the Eastern coastline or low-lying areas to avoid the initial and strongest impact of the hurricane and flooding. If you cannot, secure doors and windows, and place all essential items and supplies in the upper floors of buildings.

3. Stay close to your radio and television should emergency instructions be issued. In the event of a power and communications disruption, a radio is your best bet.

MATT'S SPECIAL NOTE TO CC READERS: 

I'm currently inside this super storm area, and should it manifest into something beyond our control, there is a chance I could be temporarily cut off from the Coming Crisis due a loss of power or telecommunications. In the event this should happen, all control will revert to Lynsey, who will continue to keep you updated on the news.

Governments to debate 50 billion euro cut to EU budget

European Union governments will debate a cut of at least 50 billion euros this week as the starting point for negotiations on the bloc's proposed 1 trillion-euro ($1.3 trillion) long-term budget, a source familiar with the issue said.

The cut will be proposed in the latest EU negotiating text on the bloc's spending plan for 2014-2020, but is unlikely to be deep enough to satisfy Britain, Germany, France and other net budget contributors.

Deadly Riots At 'Criminal' Market In Pere

At least four people have been killed and over 20 hurt as police trying to shut down Peru's biggest wholesale market clashed with protesters.

Cascadia subduction zone: Prepping for the big one

The last Cascadia Subduction Zone event was Jan. 26, 1700, and Corcoran said the North Coast is far enough into the recurrence cycle to warrant serious preparation.

When the big one hits, county residents shouldn’t depend on any agency for what to do.

There are three things Corcoran said people need to know with the coming of an earthquake and tsunami:
The first is to know what to be afraid of – knowing the difference between distant and local events. Big earthquakes make big tsunamis, said Corcoran, and a large Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake can mean a tsunami wave in the next 15 to 20 minutes.

'Frankenstorm' prompts Red Cross warnings in Ontario

Forecasts of a hybrid storm blending remnants of a post-tropical storm Sandy with already severe weather over Ontario are prompting warnings from relief workers to brace for an emergency by stocking up with at least three days’ worth of supplies.

The Canadian Red Cross issued a release Sunday urging Ontario families to ensure they have enough food and water to sustain themselves for at least 72 hours as the weather system, which is lashing the U.S. east coast and North Carolina, continues to lumber towards Ontario with wind speeds of up to 130 km/hr.

Analysis: Fiscal cliff could hit economy harder than many expect

The United States runs the risk of a recession far deeper than many investors and policymakers may think if lawmakers fail to avert looming tax hikes and cuts to public spending.

Absent action by Congress, the country will face the so-called fiscal cliff at the start of next year, a combination of lower spending and higher taxes that is expected to extract about $600 billion from the economy.

Obama Closer to Seizing Control of Cyberspace; Exec. Order Imminent

According to a copy of a draft executive order on cybersecurity obtained by the Associated Press (AP), President Obama will soon order “U.S. spy agencies to share the latest intelligence about cyberthreats with companies operating electric grids, water plants, railroads and other vital industries to help protect them from electronic attacks.”

For some time, government officials have insisted that Iran is planning a cyberattack on the electronic communications infrastructure of the United States. The AP reports that Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said that the U.S. armed forces are “ready to retaliate” should Iran — or any other country — attempt an attack on U.S. cybersecurity.

Massachusetts lab that caused deadly meningitis outbreak was 'covered in mold and bacteria' - and staffers knew since January but did NOTHING

A Massachusetts pharmacy linked to an outbreak of meningitis that has killed 25 people and infected hundreds more was covered in bacteria and mold, according to health inspectors.

Newly released documents reveal staffers at the New England Compounding Center knew about dozens of cases of supposedly sterile areas being overgrown with fungus that could potentially contaminate the pain injections being made at the facility.

In a preliminary report, the Food and Drug Administration said it found dozens of vials of drugs that had a 'greenish black foreign matter' growing inside, and each one they tested was contaminated.

U.S. Navy tests their version of drones as remote-controlled boat fires missiles for the first time

The U.S. Navy has fired missiles from a remote-controlled boat for the very first time in tests which took place on Wednesday just off the Maryland coast.

If successful, the system could be introduced as the navy's equivalent of the unmanned drone planes already used by the Air Force.

Target London: Soviet nuclear missile base in Germany that spy planes never saw

It was the first foreign Soviet nuclear base, built in Germany three years before the Cuban missile crises and ready for an attack on Western Europe.

Soviet nuclear missiles 20 times more powerful than Hiroshima were set up here, primed to be fired at targets including London and nuclear bases in eastern England.

But since it was built in 1959 in the picturesque woods of Brandenburg, Vogelsang has become an eerie ghost town, reclaimed by nature.
