I have scientific proof that 2012 is bound NOT to happen. I just want to hear your thoughts, and share mine, too. Evidence: you would be able to see Planet X coming by now in the night sky if it were that close to Earth (or if it even exists); the possibility of Planet X actually striking Earth is very slim; Polar Shifts are just a theory, and would otherwise take 5,000 years to complete; the Galactic Alignment had, supposedly, already happened or is going to happen later on, but Sag. A (center of the galaxy) would need to be thousands of light-years closer to Earth to have any effect AT ALL; human disasters are predictable, but astronomical and natural disasters such as tsunamis, earthquakes, etc. are completely unpredictable; the Mayans started all of this, and even THEY don’t think 2012 is a disaster but a celebration for a new tomorrow!

These are my accurate facts about 2012, now tell me what you think!

My fiancee and I want terribly to get to Nashville to help with the relief, but we don’t have the extra finances to get there. Is there any organizations out there that will help get people to Nashville to help with this disaster?

Earthquakes, tornados, hurricanes. Can they ever damage to a nuclear power plant, causing a radiation leak, or worse? Maybe this needs to be asked by our government, in light of the oil leak in the gulf.. We need to investigate and prepare for ANY potential disaster.

It seems like all corners of the world are helping out with donations to help the impoverished country and many countries like the United States, Great Britain, Mexico, and Canada are on the island with some troops and doctors trying to help out as much as they can.

I’m very young but never in my life have I seen the world come together to try and help out for such a disaster. The closest before was the tsunami in Indonesia.

It’s awesome to see.

I live in Canada and am greatly troubled by the disaster in Haiti. However, I learned after donating to the 9/11 funds that most of the money never reaches the people and services that need it. Does anyone know of a charity that is not corrupt and that will ensure my money goes to the right places? Thanks!

Haiti, Chile, Mexico, Sumatra (Indonesia), Japan, Metro Manila (capital of Philippines) and the Andaman Islands, Illinois, Cuba. Earthquakes (big ‘n small) in all these places in 3 months. What’s the reason behind this? Please don’t post replies saying all this is a prelude to some mega disaster in 2012.

Is it true that every disaster in the world goes through its obligatory two-week focus cycle and then is discarded as old news? Doesn’t this latest crisis in Haiti prove this once and for all? After all, the ante has now been upped to 200,000. Who would have thought that any calamity would have reached that number, much less an earthquake? Has there ever been an earthquake with that many deaths in the history of the world? If 200,000 dead people is not going to break the two-week attention barrier, then what will?

so ive been thinking, and ive had an idea. i just wanted it to get to you guys. i don’t believe the world will end in 2012, but ive been seeing HOW it COULD happen.
i would first like to point this out; an earthquake struck haiti, a place already struggling.
one month later: an even bigger earthquake struck. not only is this earthquake bringing tsunamis to other countries, it also so happens that the earths rotation has been changed and our day has become shorter. i don’t know about you guys, but when i heard that there was an earthquake powerful enough to change the earth’s natural course, i felt that this is a power that only a catastrophic event could exceed. think about it: a 2012 disaster would have that kind of effect, and possibly worse. do you guys understand?
what else could end the world?
oh yeah, almost forgot that some very unfriendly people in North Korea are ignoring pleads from other countries and are deciding to go on with their nuclear bomb programs. yeah, i find it very possible that north korea could start a nuclear war or just bomb its enemies.
oh yeah, iran is gaining radioactive elements, right? or some country in the middle east, i cant remember…
what else could destroy the world/human civilization?
i heard about this thing called global warming. just a little thing, really, unless the ice caps melt. if that happens, guess what? its been calculated that cities like New York with their huge sky scrapers would be thousands of feet under water.
if i can remember correctly, earthquakes starting up, the ice caps melting, and a nuclear war would kill us all. and it would fit the mayan prophecy of the end of the world.
i don’t really believe the world will end, but i think that its possible, and with the latest events, that possibility is getting even bigger.

The last hurricane that passed through were the gas stations equipped with backup generators, were the shelters properly surveyed for proper usage, were inventory made on food and medical supplies that could be made available for use after the disaster passed away. Were the hospital and other emergency establishments equipment with backup generators. We should always be prepared,the season will soon be here again. Just look around you and what do you see?

A few days after the big quake in Chile, people are starting to loot. They have not eaten for days. Banks are closed and couldn’t operate even if they were open, so there is no money available to buy things. If people are starving, is it permitted to just take the things you need to survive? Does the law allow that, or are you just supposed to go off and die? Is there any provision in the law for allowing people to do what they must to survive a disaster, or are we required to meekly starve to death?

I have some concerns about moving to Florida, because of all of the natural disasters that’s been going on lately..

Do you think Florida can be hit by a tsunami or a earthquake or any other major natural disasters?

I am aware of the hurricanes, but usually they give you a head-sup on those. I am talking about disaster that people can’t "predict" hitting a certain area 100% and that will just hit without no time of warning that could help people escape?!

Ok I posted this 3 yrs ago. The Super Bowl is again in Miami and I havent had any dream like this since. Could it have been this up coming SuperBowl???Here is the question from 3 yrs ago.

Are these just dreams?I live in Tampa area. About 7 years ago i had a strange dream. I was in my parents back yard and looked towards the southeast and saw a mushroom cloud. I knew in my dream it was Miami. Was scary dream and even though miami is about 7 hours drive , there was rocks falling on my head. Move forward. About 5-6 months before Tsunami’s i had dreams of giant wave coming towards gulf coast of florida. Never thought about dream until Tsumani happend. Move forward. About 6 weeks before Katrina had another dream of a big wave but seemed to be caused by storm. Now i remembered 1st dream about three weeks ago when i had another one where i was high above a stadium looking down at it. 3 objects went down into the stadium and saw a big blast. In my dream i knew that the stadium was in Miami. The next thing is i was standing on ledge of a building and that building and all of the other buildings started falling but not like the WTC but like cig ashes. Is this just a dream

What if there was a SUPER cargo ship that constantly roamed the oceans of the world that carried enormous amounts of supplies on it, i.e. food, water, clothes etc. Then when a disaster such as the earthquake in Haiti happens this ship could immediately head over an provide aid. It can just pull ashore seeing as how aircraft aid won help. Furthermore, this ship can sell its supliies to different countries and get replenished on a regular basis so that the supplies to get out-dated if a major event hasn’t happened in a while.

I’m visualizing something of a major carrier ship similar to something the Navy would have that would have a heliport and landing strip on top. I am sure we have some ships out there that do this now, but I a thinking of ONE go-to ship that will be THE official rescue ship. I’m talking enough suppiles to feed a major city. Does this make any sense?

seems that she can get herself and her camera crew to any area where there is a disaster 2-5 days befor the people carrying water can get there……
kinda makes you wonder if they sent in 3ooo news reporters and told them to carry in water instead of their cameras, if there would be a better chance of surrival over there…..

News reports clearly show U.S. military planes being unloaded by our military.
January 13, 2010
"With the first of its flights touching down in earthquake-devastated Haiti late Wednesday afternoon, the U.S. began deploying military planes, ships and ground troops to the Caribbean nation."

One of two planes carrying a 30-person assessment team arrived at Port-au-Prince airport about 5:30 p.m. Wednesday. The team will assess what Haiti needs to cope with the immediate aftermath of the disaster.

I see a lot of very graphic pictures which does nothing else except harm to those who have connections in Haiti of have victimised famalies back in Haiti. Why are newspapers in UK publishing pictures of naked people who have been affected by the Haiti earthquake, I don’t think this constitutes any respect or expression of sympathy to the Haiti people. Imagine seeing a picture of someone you know being shown like that on newspapers. There is newspaper named the metro in the manchester area who are making fun of th Haiti disaster each and every day. It is high that that media groups start to respect other countries irrespective f their location, political or economic stance

I’m researching on natural disasters for my thesis and would like to know what people experience and what they are feeling. It would be best to get first hand experiences, but if you know of someone who has been in a disaster, i am still interested in that too.
Also, is there a forum or website that has people discussing their first hand experiences with natural disasters?
Thanks

I’m all the way in NY…and I hate watching the news on television. It seems to be making headlines, and 300,000 people evacuated in SoCal is a huge number. A federal emergency is pretty big. The thing with wildfires though is that it’s mostly just evacuations and structural damage, not lives lost. So how would you rank this disaster along with past disasters such as Katrina, the Minnesota bridge collapse, and the California earthquakes of the late ’80′s/early ’90′s? And what about compared to the Florida wildfires that occurred recently when they had to close Disney World?

One thing I wonder is why they build communities in natural wildfire areas…if they can’t control them, they shouldn’t be doing that.
How would you guys compare them to the recent Florida wildfires? My only thoughts on it is that those wildfires went through pretty rural areas of farmland in south Georgia/North Florida, while the SoCal wildfires are ripping through urban and suburban areas, affecting many more people and structures.
Are these occurring right in San Diego? I’ve been to the Encinitas/La Jolla area a few times, it’s beautiful there, are the fires reaching any of those areas? I remember that where we would stay, we would hop on a highway and go right to Sea World in about 10-15 minutes.

This happened when a tornado hit our town, my neighborhood. amd my home last March. I haven’t received anything from FEMA or the State of GA (DFACS) when given money to help replace our food, etc. which I lost in the disaster. If so, what forms do I file. That is all I received from them. Anyone know.
