Day: October 16, 2011

Quakes now:

• 3.2 Nevada
• 2.1 Greece
• 4.6 Indonesia 

Meanwhile, again, in America;

More dramatic video from OccupyWallStreet protesters: In this video, people were arrested at a New York City Citibank for the “crime”? of trying to close their accounts!

The dramatic video shows people in the bank being arrested and protesters outside on the streets giving quick and off the cuff legal advice, such as to get a lawyer, immediately..

Disturbing videos like this are being seen around the world today.. When America watched the rage in Egypt and Yemen, it was ‘far away.’ Now, the world is watching America….as police arrest citizens for closing bank accounts.

Meanwhile in America…

It’s not Egypt. It’s not Tunisia.. it’s not Yemen. And it’s not pretty. Last night, protesters from OccupyWallStreet had more than just chilly temperatures to deal with: Cops showed force with the use of horse..

The video is dramatic, and often language is not appropriate for children. But it’s real, raw, and true: It was uploaded to the We Are Change YouTube channel. It shows cops on animal facing down protesters. Things got heated throughout the course of the video, with cops often closing in on people with horses.

Some comments say it’s similar to the predicament protesters faced in Egypt during the summer riots in Cairo. While the New York City situation at this point is very different from the violent rage in the streets in the Middle East, it is clear that as the OccupyWallStreet protests continue, it is becoming a dicier situation and one with more tension and animosity between people and authorities..

Nguyen Thi Phuong from Vietnam ate seafood, and now has aged 50 years in just days. She is 26 years old but now looks like someone entering last stages of life–a mind blowing story on this appearing in the UK TELEGRAPH today..


According to the report, the aging began in 2008 when she began the mega aging process. While some argue that she is afflicted by lipodystrophy – a rare syndrome that causes a layer of fatty tissue beneath the surface of the skin to disintegrate while the skin itself continues to grow, the true cause at this point remains a medical mystery. Sadly, no cure is available and her condition has only worsened since the aging process began in rapid fire only a few years ago.


According to the TELEGRAPH report, Phuong didn’t go to the hospital after an extreme allergic reaction to seafood because of the cost: They didn’t have enough money. She, instead, went to a pharmacy.. she doesn’t recall the medicine she took.


But she does remember the effects, they are still very present on her face today.. A sad story of a beautiful woman, who is still young under the skin deep face of age.

What EarthInformer.com is watching, and what you should be to:

• A 4.8 quake registered this morning in Saint Helena off of the African coast line.. It was 20.51 miles deep.
• A 2.8 quake in Alaska just took place. 
• There is an hazard this morning at the Plim Plaza Hotel in Ocean City, MD: 6 sick and 1 dead of  Legionnaires..

• Quakes continue in the Canary Islands with an undersea volcano closely being monitored — plumes in the ocean are now evident as a sea port has been closed by the government.

For months the world has watched in awe at a tiny comet called Elenin–one only discovered in 2010.

And now, after all of the fanfare and talk of world disasters, Elenin (or what is left of it) is going to be passing by the blue dot called Earth on Sunday.

Elenin poses no risk of hitting the planet .. and for a few months now astronomers have watched as Elenin broke apart–dampening the theories and perhaps hopes that Elenin could be a doomsday maker. Looks like many will have to wait until the next comet.

At this point, according to scientists, there is not even enough left for a sky watching event..

Spanish authorities say activity by an underwater volcano has led them to close access to a port on El Hierro island..


Ships have been ordered away and aircraft banned from flying over the Island’s southern tip..


The AP reports that volcanic fragments called pyroclasts are rising from the sea off La Restinga.


Reports indicated Saturday that journalists also have been told to clear the area..
