The $100 Billion Storm: 17 Things You Should Know About Hurricane Sandy

Meteorologists are warning that Hurricane Sandy could potentially be the worst storm to hit the east coast of the United States in 100 years.  Do you remember "the perfect storm" back in 1991?  That storm was so bad that Hollywood made a blockbuster movie starring George Clooney about it.  Well, this storm is going to be much worse.  When I first heard about Hurricane Sandy, I didn't make that much of it.  I figured that the east coast would get some wind and some rain and that they would whine about it a bit but that everything would be just fine.  But then I started looking into this storm a bit more.  It turns out that this storm is even larger than Hurricane Katrina was.  The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has categorized the destructive potential of this storm to be 5.8 on a scale that goes from 0 to 6.  So don't be fooled when you hear that this is only a "category 1 storm" or that the maximum winds will only be around 80 MPH.  It is the unprecedented size of this storm and the mind boggling storm surges that it is producing that truly make it dangerous.  It is being reported that Hurricane Sandy is more than 1,000 miles across from one end to the other.

Meteorologists have never seen anything quite like this before, and we are most definitely in unprecedented territory.  One meteorologist is already projecting that this megastorm could cause 100 billion dollars in damage, but the true amount of devastation will likely not be fully known for weeks.  If you live in the northeast part of the United States, you definitely want to buckle up because you are about to get absolutely hammered.

The following are 17 things that you should know about Hurricane Sandy...

Climate-Changing Methane ‘rapidly destabilizing’ off East Coast, Study Finds

Extinction Protocol

A changing Gulf Stream off the East Coast has destabilized frozen methane deposits trapped under nearly 4,000 square miles of seafloor, scientists reported Wednesday. And since methane is even more potent than carbon dioxide as a global warming gas, the researchers said, any large-scale release could have significant climate impacts. Temperature changes in the Gulf Stream are “rapidly destabilizing methane hydrate along a broad swathe of the North American margin,” the experts said in a study published Wednesday in the peer-reviewed journal Nature. Using seismic records and ocean models, the team estimated that 2.5 gigatonnes of frozen methane hydrate are being destabilized and could separate into methane gas and water. It is not clear if that is happening yet, but that methane gas would have the potential to rise up through the ocean and into the atmosphere, where it would add to the greenhouse gases warming Earth. 

The 2.5 gigatonnes isn’t enough to trigger a sudden climate shift, but the team worries that other areas around the globe might be seeing a similar destabilization. “It is unlikely that the western North Atlantic margin is the only area experiencing changing ocean currents,” they noted. “Our estimate … may therefore represent only a fraction of the methane hydrate currently destabilizing globally.” The wider destabilization evidence, co-author Ben Phrampus told NBC News, includes data from the Arctic and Alaska’s northern slope in the Beaufort Sea. And it’s not just under the seafloor that methane has been locked up. Some Arctic land area are seeing permafrost thaw, which could release methane stored there as well. An expert who was not part of the study said it suggests that methane could become a bigger climate factor than carbon dioxide. “We may approach a turning point” from a warming driven by man-made carbon dioxide to a warming driven by methane, Jurgen Mienert, the geology department chair at Norway’s University of Tromso, told NBC News. “The interactions between the warming Arctic Ocean and the potentially huge methane-ice reservoirs beneath the Arctic Ocean floor point towards increasing instability,” he added. –USNEWSNBC

List of Great Bartering Websites

This article first appeared at The Preproom.

Historically, the act of bartering has flourished in times of monetary crisis, such as when the currency in a country has become unstable (e.g. Hyperinflation or a deflationary spiral) or currency is simply unavailable for conducting normal purchasing transactions.

It should come as no surprise then, that the number of people using bartering websites has exploded as of late. With more people struggling financially, families are avoiding the department stores and shopping malls and doing their shopping right from their home computers. Of course, in most cases, you can’t really call it shopping, because there is no money changing hands.

The benefits of bartering are many and the internet has made it quite simple to find just about anything that you might want, as well as find someone else who is willing to take what you have.

Corn belt moving northward with climate change

WASHINGTON -- Joe Waldman is saying goodbye to corn after yet another hot and dry summer convinced him that rainfall won't be there when he needs it anymore.

"I finally just said uncle," said Mr. Waldman, 52, surveying his stunted crop about 100 miles north of Dodge City, Kansas. Instead, he will expand sorghum, which requires less rain; let some fields remain fallow; and restrict corn to irrigated fields.

While farmers nationwide planted the most corn this year since 1937, growers in Kansas sowed the fewest acres in three years, instead turning to less-thirsty crops such as wheat, sorghum and even triticale, a wheat-rye mix popular in Poland. Meanwhile, corn acreage in Manitoba, a Canadian province about 700 miles north of Kansas, has nearly doubled over the past decade due to weather changes and higher prices.

Shifts such as these reflect a view among food producers that this summer's drought in the United States -- the worst in half a century -- isn't a random disaster. It's a glimpse of a future altered by climate change that will affect worldwide production.

Bill Ryan of Project Avalon Interviews Jim Humble Inventor of MMS (Miracle Mineral Solution)

The Jim Humble video is at...

Comments from Billy Ryan of Project Avalon about Jim Humble:
For those who are unaware of Jim's work, he is the inventor of MMS (Miracle Mineral Solution) which, according to Jim, two million people worldwide have used to successfully  and rapidly treat a range of serious illnesses and other  viral conditions - with very little cost  and with comparatively little  difficulty. I have personally received many testimonies of the apparent benefits  of MMS - and witnessed several apparent miracles first-hand. I had the pleasure of interviewing him again at Thomas Kirschner's house in Southern Germany in January 2010 after Jim had flown to Europe from Africa for a week. Thomas is the  editor of  the German NEXUS Magazine and has done a huge amount to support andassist Jim. He is also a longstanding friend of Camelot and Avalon.

As you'll see in the video, Jim has been getting some quite remarkable results. He has beenvery successfully treating hundreds of patients with AIDS and cancer  and has collected reports of patients with AIDS being restored to full health  within three weeks using a particular protocol which he has developed. He describes what he calls 'MMS 2', which he says works particularly effectively in conjunction with MMS 1 for treating cancer.

CP note: I ran across this excellent video that interviews Jim Humble who invented MMS (Miracle Mineral Solution). This is a MUST SEE video that shows the use of MMS1 & MMS2 and the remarkable success of curing, yes, I said curing, HIV/AIDS and cancers all over the world. MMS2 is a very common chemical that is used in purifying water in swimming pools called Calcium Hypochlorite. When Calcium Hypochlorite comes in contact with water, it turns to Hypochlorous Acid which occurs naturally in the human body assisting the immune system in killing viruses and bacteria. Many of us are deficient in Hypochlorous Acid and Jim talks about the protocols using MMS1 and MMS2 to cure HIV/AIDS and Cancer in this video.

I heard about Jim Humble about 3 years ago and we purchased MMS1. I am excited to find this new information about MMS2 (Calcium Hypochlorite) and the amazing results that it is
producing in curing AIDS/HIV in Africa. Jim does not make any profit from selling MMS1 or MMS2 but he does receive income through the sales of his books. I am going to be purchasing his latest book called “The Master Mineral Solution of the 3rd Millennium” which contains all the protocols. There is also a DVD that lists all the protocols as well.

Officials confirm the crude oil covering the giant sinkhole in Assumption Parish, LA is coming from a massive underground formations(s) of crude oil and gas, and officials don't know how to stop it. In the Napoleonville Salt Dome below the sinkhole, there is an estimated 500 billion cubic feet of gas and 200 millions gallons of crude oil.

A new map of the sinkhole's dimensions was uploaded to the Assumption Parish website at 11:45a ET on October 14, 2012.

Sinkhole Meeting: We don't know how we're going to stop crude oil form coming to surface--Turning to international experts for help:

Question: If crude is coming from the natural source from one of these three layers, how can you possibly stop, eventually it would get...?

Official: The question is, is the crude oil that's possibly coming from one of these individual layers from the outside area of the salt dome, how to stop it from entering the salt cavern I'm assuming, and as well as how to stop it from coming to the surface and through the water aquifer?

Gary Hecox, Geologist with Shaw Environmental: I can't tell you how we're going to stop it, right now, I can tell you what we're doing to get to that end. And that is we're talking to experts all over the country and some of them are overseas, who are experts in seismology, rock mechanics and related features. And we're talking to those folks to get their input to help us address that very question you asked. Right now, I don't have any ind of answer. But we are working on, that's on of the things DNR has tasked Shaw to do is be able to look at that as to what created the problem in the first place. And then a second part, what are we going to do about it.
