Earth Changes

2021 FORECASTS
By Cal Orey
Enduring 2020 was like was like being a character in a never-ending natural disaster film that made us feel like we were characters in a spooky movie. There were earthquakes, hurricanes, twisters, wildfires – and a pandemic.
As predicted, 2020 Earth changes forced people around the world to be more prepared
and self-reliant as we battled extreme Earth changes and novelty. Indeed, we
did deal with the new normal of Earth changes and continue to stay strong and
keep fighting. Wish you knew
what may happen to Mother Earth this New Year? Will there be less or more
drama? Read on – find out!
STRONG SHAKERS In
2020, tremors seemed less than more, especially in contrast to other Earth
challenges compounded with the pandemic. But that doesn’t mean the Earth
didn’t move. It did. West Coast: On
the California/Nevada border an aggressive quake swarm has been ongoing since
March 15, when a 6.5 was widely felt through California. The damaged a major highway and shook homes as
far as Utah and Las Vegas. (Yes, under
strict lockdown at night I felt the strong shaker.) It could have been a
foreshock. A major earthquake this year could be the end result. A major earthquake
may move the San Francisco Bay Area (Hayward Fault or South near Morgan Hill
on the San Andreas). Europe: The Mediterranean countries most likely will rock by major earthquakes – and maybe even a great overdue 8.0 earthquake in Greece, Italy, or Turkey. |

RAIN
AND SNOW – OR NOT?
The West Coast is in a drought period and
according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) a dry
spell for the Western states and Southeast may continue. California may get some much-needed rain and
a few snowstorms. Caveat: Like last year it will not be a super snowstorm year
disappointing tourists looking to escape the pandemic and to find a winter
wonderland. Read: It very well may be the winter of discontent, with respect to
John Steinbeck’s novel’s title.
The bottom line: Due to the ongoing pandemic, the weather around the globe will create more challenges to people suffering from homelessness, health issues, and economic challenges.
EPIC TWISTERS, HURRICANES, WILDFIRES
Tornadoes will likely accompany some hurricanes.
Hurricane season in the Southeast and Northeast will not be as severe as in
2020. However, there will be one unforgettable hurricane likely on the Atlantic
Seaboard – not the gulf states. But a surreal and frightening “Twister” film
Category 5 [think superstorm with a hurricane/twister(s); a
F4 is the second highest intensity rating [on the now retired Fujita Scale]
may hit Texas, Oklahoma, or Florida.
Wildfires are likely
to continue year-round, due to both man-made or natural causes like lightning.
The Southwest, Southern California, Northwest, and Colorado are in the line of
fire as well as the Pacific Northwest including Western Canada. Air quality
will also be a challenging factor people will have to learn how to deal with
it, especially in the summer and fall months. It’s all part of climate change.
ON THE WILD SIDE
As we deal with the
pandemic, any Earth changes will be more challenging because frontline workers
will be overwhelmed. While earthquakes will be more catastrophic in 2021, it
will seem less intense than coping with a dark winter due to plague challenges.
Also, more volcanic
activity in the U.S.—especially Yellowstone which has not gotten a lot of
attention for a while. This area is overdue for drama and a scare of the Big
One creating a nuclear winter is possible but may just be a close call.
As for the pandemic?
Fasten your seatbelts. As we learn more about the novel virus it will be two
steps forward and two steps backward. Come late Spring and Summer, a sense of
normalcy will blossom. By autumn it will be a time to exhale and realize the
worst of the virus nightmare may be fizzling – thanks to working together.
During some of these
Earth changes during an out-of-control pandemic (which we’re trying to end) will
actually force people to unite. In 2021, the shrinking middle class and
poverty-stricken people to homeless due to Earth changes and pandemic will create
great suffering but humanity will prevail.
It will be a year of despair, change, hope, and strength. By late summer and into fall America will have experienced a lot of loss but the light will begin to outshine the darkness. As our planet and humanity goes through growing pains, we be resilient and rejuvenated -- ready to adapt and carry on. As our grandmas always say, “This too shall pass.” And Earth will rebound and thrive.
FARMER’S ALMANIC GUESS
Not
always right – but like the cute groundhog, worth a read. The 2021 Farmers' Almanac forecasts a cold and snowy winter
in the northeast, calling it "the Winter of the Great Divide." Also,
the almanac predicts “cold and snowy in the north, drought in the west, and
everything crazy in between." Also, the almanac points to a “warmer-than-average
temperatures by late summer 2021.” The Farmers' Almanac is edited by Peter
Geiger of Lewiston.
2020 Visions Happened!
*The Asian Covid-19 epidemic became a pandemic
affecting the world’s health and economy.
* The hurricane season did endure major storms – 20 named
storms up until September.
* A 7.0 rumbled through Greece shaking Turkey
on October 30. And while Anchorage didn’t rock and roll, on October 19, a 7.6
rocked rumbled through Sand Harbor with a Tsunami Warning.
* Wildfires are likely to continue year-round,
due to both man-made or natural causes like lightning. California was burning
in the summer, causing hazardous air quality throughout the Golden State…
* …And there were power outages – numerous
ones and often man-created to help prevent more wildfires.
* Flights were indeed cancelled around the world due to a pandemic – not Earth changes.
