Evacuation drill held on Surat Thani island....
Reports that the alignment of the planets might cause a tsunami in Andaman coastal provinces have led to emergency evacuation drills being conducted on an island in Surat Thani.
The drill yesterday on Rad Island in Don Sak district, located 1km from the mainland, was organised by the National Disaster Warning Centre (NDWC), the Information and Communication Technology Ministry and local authorities.
Residents received training in communications and rescue and relief efforts in the event of a tsunami.
During the exercise, 150 residents took cover in the municipal office.
The drill also included practice search and rescue operations for passengers of capsized vessels using a helicopter and a police patrol boat.
Earlier, Kongpop U-yen, a Thai engineer who works at the US National Aeronatics and Space Administration (Nasa), said the alignment of the planets today could cause natural disasters such as earthquakes and tsunamis.
NDWC chief Smith Dharmasarojana agreed with the forecast, saying it was backed by scientific data.
The forecast, however, met with criticism from the scientific community as authorities did not clarify the prediction.
Mr Smith recently said during a TV interview that a solar eclipse was due to occur on June 12 as a result of the alignment of the Earth, the moon and the sun.
He said the alignment would release considerable cumulative energy, which could affect the Earth. Mr Smith, quoting Mr Kongpop, said the phenomenon would have a direct impact on the Earth in the forms of climate disruption, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
As to which part of the world would be affected by the disasters, Mr Kongpop said that depended on the time the sun unleashed its energy.
It was hard to exactly locate the target area as the Earth revolved around the sun, he said.
Mr Smith said that Southeast Asia could be the first region to be affected if the planetary alignment, due to occur at 6.30pm local time, triggers natural disasters.
A 7.0-8.5 magnitude earthquake on the Richter scale could occur, possibly causing a tsunami.
"The warning is something to consider, not to be panicked about. We cannot rely 100% on any theory," Mr Smith said. But he said he believed the predicted disaster might happen.
Ping friends...
From Spaceweather:
SOLAR FLARES: Today, June 12th at 0055 UT, new sunspot 1081 unleashed an impulsive M1-class solar flare. NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory recorded the blast in high-resolution:
The explosion hurled a billion-ton coronal mass ejection (CME) off the sun’s western limb; the cloud will probably not hit Earth. The explosion also produced a Type II radio burst. “Although the Sun was setting here in New Mexico, I was able to record the burst at 28 MHz and 24 MHz,” says amateur radio astronomer Thomas Ashcraft. “Here is an audio file. The slow swoosh is radio noise from the sun!”

Title should be: “Ignorance of the laws of physics raises tsunami fears.”
Just wait ‘till Dec 2012!!
Yes I think off of India today....
I’m worried about that massive hole in the SUN! Amazingly big!

7.7 Earthquake Nicobar Islands, India region

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center has issued a Tsunami warning for all areas of the Indian Ocean after a 7.7 earthquake struck Nicobar Islands India Region.
A Tsunami Watch is in effect for India / Indonesia / Sri Lanka / Myanmar / Thailand / Malaysia.
Officials say earthquakes of this size have the potential to generate a destructive local tsunami and sometimes a destructive regional tsunami along coasts located usually no more than a thousand kilometers from the earthquake epicenter.
It says areas further from the epicenter could experience small sea level changes and strong or unusual coastal currents.
Didn’t we have a major planetary alignment like 20 years ago?
I’m worried, my calendar ends on December 31st of this year.
You need to start getting your affairs in order now, including you bucket list. Sorry.
Wr probably won’t feel anything...
We’ll place our trust in God. As the saying goes, you can run but you can’t hide. God will lead. With Him, no fear...
I’m sure He knows what’s going to happen...after all, whatever happens is His doing, isn’t it?
Im woried about the black hole at 1600 Pennsylvania
Well yeah that too!
Now, like... umm.... B: even if there were coronas (or any other kind of beer) on the sun, it would not be cold enough to drink. Nobody likes a warm beer!
And.... 3: What difference could it make if a corona gets ejected from the sun, or like... lost in a hole on the sun or whatever. No one is even there to drink it. Except maybe the koolaid guy, and I am pretty sure he doesn't drink anything harder than... like.... koolaid.
Thx will check it out.
