“On September 14, 2005, the day after the last of ten X-class flares billowed out from the Sun into the Solar System, making the seven-day span of September 7 to 13 one of the most turbulent weeks in recorded solar history,

 an earthquake in remote and desolate Boina, Ethiopia, about 270 miles northeast of the capital, Addis Ababa, split open a crack in the Earth 37 miles long, according to an Associated Press report. Over the next three weeks, the fissure in Boina widened to a gap of 134 feet, and it continues to spread today….”

“…Boina, at approximately 11.26 degrees north latitude, is just off the south-eastern tip of the Sahel savannah strip that crosses north central Africa, separating the Sahara desert above it from the tropics below. This quasigreenbelt runs between 11 and 20 degrees north of the Equator (virtually the same latitudes that contain Mayan territory).

 From Africa’s east coast, right about where the Red Sea feeds into the Indian Ocean, the Sahel crosses all the way west to Senegal’s Atlantic coast, the spot, it turns out, where all Atlantic hurricanes are born.

“All atlantic hurricanes, no matter how grand they may become, begin the same. Each starts as a disturbance in the atmosphere above equatorial Africa. These distrubances, called tropical waves, head west and, if conditions are just right, they increase in size and start spinning. Some develop into depressions, grow into tropical storms and finally evolve into full-blown hurricanes, ” reads a NASA dispatch…”

“…So, right after a week of historic sunspot activity, the eastern part of the Sahel cracked apart, just as record-breaking hurricane activity peaked along the western part of the ecological continuum. Coincidence, or catastrophic synergy?”

Oh and check out the sky for that day (Sept 14, 2005)

21Vir41 – Sun

21Tau13 – Mars

21Lib08 – Jupiter

21Sag52 – Pluto

Those are pretty tight. 

I don’t know the Asc because the USGS lists the time in a format I have no idea how to convert. If anyone knows how to turn 150746.40 into real time, I’d love to know!

I did check out the earthquakes after that in that spot too. On Sept 20, there were 4, on Sept 21 there were 15 and around the same number on the 22nd and 23rd. On the 24th there were a whopping 49 quakes, and all in the 4.4-5.0 magnitude.
