Just war gaming. National Guard for an eclipse...what have we come to?!

**** off derelict doldrum.

What a worthless putz

well...
Most of you already know all this. But what is not widely known is that we have seen this same pattern before. In 1811, a solar eclipse finished the giant “X” over the heartland of America that a solar eclipse in 1806 had started, and meanwhile Tecumseh’s Comet was making headlines all over the nation as it raced through the heavens. Approximately three months after the giant “X” over America was completed, cataclysmic earthquakes began erupting along the New Madrid fault.

A lot of you are not familiar with this, and so let me take it one step at a time.

A remarkable total solar eclipse crossed the entire continental United States from the west coast to the east coast on June 16th, 1806…

On June 16, 1806, a total solar eclipse crossed the North America from Baja California to Massachusetts. This was a long duration eclipse with nearly 5 minutes totality at the point of greatest eclipse. While the western United States was sparsely populated, this eclipse did pass over Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island.

That was the first half of the giant “X” over America in the early 1800s.

The second half was formed by the path of a “ring of fire” solar eclipse that took place on September 17th, 1811.

This eclipse was so widely anticipated that even Thomas Jefferson wrote about it…

But in 1811, when the solar eclipse that occurred on Constitution Day was visible in central Virginia, that is exactly what Thomas Jefferson did.
On September 17, he diligently recorded his observations in his weather journal. He noted the times when the moon first “contacted” the sun, when the annulus (ring shape) formed, when the annulus broke, and when the contact ended. He also indicated the central time of the contact and the central time of the annulus. According to Jefferson’s observations, the entire event lasted 3 hours, 15 minutes, and 34 seconds.

The paths of those two eclipses intersected in the vicinity of Cleveland, Ohio…

The 1806 and 1811 eclipses cross in Cleveland, which was founded in 1796. It is not a Hepton Cross, and one of the eclipses is annular, but it’s still probably the most pronounced US cross until our current ones.

Approximately three months after the eclipse of 1811 completed the giant “X” over America, the New Madrid fault zone started to go absolutely nuts.

To this day, we have never seen earthquakes of such destructive power in the continental United States…

From December 16, 1811 through March of 1812 there were over 2,000 earthquakes in the central Midwest, and between 6,000-10,000 earthquakes in the Bootheel of Missouri where New Madrid is located near the junction of the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers.

In the known history of the world, no other earthquakes have lasted so long or produced so much evidence of damage as the New Madrid earthquakes. Three of the earthquakes are on the list of America’s top earthquakes: the first one on December 16, 1811, a magnitude of 8.1 on the Richter scale; the second on January 23, 1812, at 7.8; and the third on February 7, 1812, at as much as 8.8 magnitude.

May need the Guard for pissed off people with cancelled reservations.

Steve Lehto has a video about hotels canceling reservations of people who planned ahead a year ago and booked rooms well in advance of the eclipse, so the hotel can jack up the prices to sell to people who are responding to the publicity and coming to the dark zone or whatever you call it.

Guy I work with is from Ohio, said they called out the NG also

 

[1nderbeard]

Not sure what to expect, but live along one of the busy sections. I've got plans to get gas Friday and not go anywhere Monday.

Imagine small towns in the path of totality getting an influx of 10,000 or more tourists in for the day. Going to be a logistical nightmare with traffic and local supplies, let alone emergency services.

That’s what I believe they’re planning for.

Or it’s cover, or the end of the world or the 2nd coming of Christ, depending on who you listen to.

10,000? The prediction where I live is 300,000. We bought enough groceries for two weeks and gassed up our cars already.

It may be a non-event, but for once I'm going to have enough bread, eggs and milk!

 

[Aggar]

It’ll probably be cloudy and raining.

 

[Super Bee]

If one reads Twitter some nuts are saying earthquakes.

Not believing that just yet how ever a state of emergency and calling up the National Guard seems a bit excessive in my opinion.

 

[tmschuller]

Wow. It gets dark every night and we don’t get this much hype.. I will be asleep. I work nights

 

[snorko]

I suspect a lot of the reason is to free up funding for things like LEO overtime and such.

Maybe it'll be the Y2K we never had

Lots of people will come to see something spectacular.

They will get all hyped up, drunk/high, will need somewhere to go potty and puke. Then they will stampede out, leaving bodily fluids, fast food wrappers, and empty cans behind.

I, for one, will wrap Caution tape across my lawn, and sit in a lawn chair holding a shotgun wearing eclipse glasses and ear protection. Pants — not sure yet. There.

 

[daddyusmaximus]

The second coming of obama.

Oh wait... that's what biden is.

 

[duanewade]

Supposing that is why gas jumped 40 cents a gallon yesterday

The only remotely successful attempts a predicting earthquakes was done relying heavily upon the position of the sun and moon relative to the earth and the gravitational forces involved. Considering we have nothing better to go on to date, it is plausible that there is a correlation there.

I remember receiving a briefing on the New Madrid fault line over 20 years ago and the anticipated destruction throughout the midwest if it were to cut loose again like it did over 100 years ago. Civil engineers have not used the same construction techniques in the midwest which have been used in more earthquake prone areas of the country and our infrastructure isn't designed to stand up to those forces. We were told that if a repeat quake of the same severity were to take place they expected virtually every bridge throughout the midwest to be brought down. Evey railroad bridge, interstate overpass and river crossing. We've got a lot of flat ground so it may not seem like that big of a deal but it wouldn't take long for reality to set in.

Hopefully it's uneventful.

So are we supposed to go out and shoot rifles up in the air for this?
