2011 Worst Year in History for Natural Disasters

Degradation of the planet's magnetic field, the implications of shifting climatic patterns the alarming rise in the number of extreme weather events that have occurred in 2011. Could these events in someway be also associated with Earth's polarity reversal? The planet's jet-stream has also become more erratic and is experiencing wild frenzied migrations, resulting in the outbreak of an unprecedented number of extreme weather events that have reaped destruction across the globe. No one knows what the full effects of a magnetic reversal will be on planet Earth since the last such event, according to scientists, occurred 780,000 years ago when no one was around to record the effects of it. NASA, however, has gone to great lengths to assure the public that events connected with polarity reversals are quite benign. Similarly, we might also add, the compounding effects of the Sun and cosmic rays on Earth's climatic processes during this magnetic disorientation period are also undetermined and unassessed scientific variables. So, is the rise in these extreme weather patterns and natural disasters merely a cyclical consequence of our time or do these events lend themselves to the prophetic warnings from the ancients suggesting major changes have already begun altering the biosphere of the planet we know as Earth? D.S. Allan & J.B. Delair wrote as early as 1995: "Significantly, a drop in Earth's entire magnetic field appears to have occurred somethime between 13,750 and 12,350 years ago. This was attended by various important changes, including earthquakes, volcanism, water table fluctuations and large-scale climatic variations." -Cataclysm: compelling evidence of a cosmic catastrophe in 9500 B.C.

Extreme wind storms are wreaking havoc on cities across the globe from Colombo, Sri Lanka to Pasadena, California but weather extremes are also occurring on the other side of the globe in Australia. Perth Australia had 57 days over 32 degrees, the longest hot spell since records began in 1897, smashing the average number of hot days of 33.9. Brisbane and the Gabba experienced it driest weather in 29 years. "In the first four days of this summer, Sydney has now failed to reach 23 degrees, making it the coolest start in 44 years," Weatherzone meteorologist Brett Dutschke said. "The city is on target for its coolest start to summer in 51 years," Dutschke said. The Washington Post said: "Spring 2011 may well go down in the weather history books as the most extreme on record. From the massive April tornado swarm, to record Mississippi river levels, to extreme drought and wildfires in the Southwest, weather extremes were both violent and relentless, taking a terrible toll on human life and the economy."

Climate in chaos: There were more than 575 tornadoes death in 2011- the 6th highest record ever recorded. April of 2011 saw the largest outbreak of tornadoes the U.S. meteorological service has ever recorded- 875 twisters, when the average for the last decade was only 161. It was also the wettest March-May on record in 10 U.S. states: Washington, Wyoming, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York, and Vermont. Precipitation was 300% above normal for this same period in most of the Ohio Valley. 1300 daily precipitation records were broken in April across the Midwest and South; 72 locations reported their wettest day in any April, five of which set all-time daily rain records (for any month). There was, in fact, so much precipitation that a record 6.8 million acres of land was flooded in the Lower Mississippi River Valley. While some parts of the U.S. basked in record precipitation totals, the U.S. southwest also saw some of the worst drought conditions on record. March through May of 2011 was the driest on record in the history of the state of Texas. As a matter of fact, extreme to exceptional drought conditions ravaged much of the southern U.S. from southeast Arizona through New Mexico, much of Texas, and along the Gulf Coastline to the Florida panhandle. Record flooding was also reported in parts of Australia, Pakistan, Europe, Colombia, Central America, Bolivia, China, Brazil, Vietnam, India, the Philippines, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Thailand. The 2011 July heat-wave in the U.S. was one of the worst in more than 140 years- more than 2000 temperature records were shattered during this period. In contrast, record snowfall totals were also recorded across the globe from the Sierra Mountains and Oklahoma to the record snowfall totals reported in July in Chile's Atacama Desert- which is one of the driest regions on the planet. Record snowfall totals were also reported.

Planet shaken by earthquakes: Besides the devastating 9.0 March 11, Tōhoku Japan earthquake, which was one of the strongest earthquakes recorded in Japan's history, there were four more earthquakes that struck Japan of the 7.0+ magnitude range. There were three 7.0+ magnitude earthquakes.

[NO1KNOWSTHENAMELESS]

natural disasters have been occurring since the begining of time. There's just some places on this planet where people should'nt be living.And, all this talk about global warming is bullshit. It was just another way for a white man to make money.

@NO1KNOWSTHENAMELESS Do you believe in satan? because he believes in you.

[MsLolgirl2011]

Just because all these disasters occurred a lot doesn't mean that the world is gonna end stop pretending to be fucking predictors. Maybe if we hadn't had so much sex or devil worshipers we would all be OK but i guess you just want more disasters :P like if you agree...only god knows stupid ppls...

[encrypt777]

@MsLolgirl2011 no one is trying to predict the end of the world, just preparedness so you wont be caught in a situation like this. All this is, is weather changing across the globe news reports. they dont tell you everything on tv this is a fyi.

[encrypt777]

@tommycowell1 When the wars stop, When the greed stops then so will these disasters but till then they will get greater as time marches on. Will they ever learn?

[Evolutionary777]

and here comes 2012, yay.

[NO1KNOWSTHENAMELESS]

some of you people watch to much T.V. Some of you probably buy into the B.S. that the world is ending in 2012 too ha! ha! ha!

[seniorlanteigne]

Wholly shit, enough with this god shit, it stupefies people and cripples them, this is a cycle, either man made ie, haarp or global warming, the planet is aging , nature doesn't care about us we've raped this beautiful home we have, raped her resources and calmly stood by as we we were told it's ok, then bammm good ole mom nature plays doctor and we are the disease, the dinosaurs had it made

[Lauzylozz33]

Has anyone noticed Britain never gets as much disasters as America? GO BRITAIN. Shows we r doing something right. I'm British/ welsh and PROUD! :)

[Lauzylozz33]

I thought god promised the some dude he would never ruin tule world with a disaster again and as a ' remembrance' ' put' a rainbow in the sky. Seems like god doesn't keep his promises......

[tyrekethefreak]

@KingofKpop There is a big difference between allowing things to happen and causing it. Do you know why God allows these? Look in the bible. For it foretells not just the conditions of the earth, but also the conditions of men.

[tyrekethefreak]

Bible says earth will be indefinite even forever. So last days of what? Man made system of things.

@MsLolgirl2011 sex has newt do with it

[bayls0303]

@KingofKpop i think u r right. In uk one of my partners friends wives has lost an arm part of the skin on her neck and has lost both her breasts to a skin eating bug which no one had heard of UNTIL it was front page news 2day about a skin eating deadly bug that affected about 1000 ppl in the uk and is spread by sneezing or even itching ur self if u have got it. It said medical proffesionals have know of it for some time, but it was thought it would never go public on this scale, well now it has
