DELUGE: The Precursors To A Global Coastal Event - Record Rainfall Dumped On Pilbara Coast In Western Australia; An Entire Month Of Rainfall In Just 6 Hours!

June 26, 2013 - AUSTRALIA - Parts of the Pilbara have been inundated with rainfall overnight that would usually only fall during a cyclone. 

The highest rainfall in the region was recorded in Karratha, where 209.2mm of rain has fallen since 9am yesterday.

The rainfall smashed Karratha's daily June record of 60mm. 


Roebourne Airport recorded 135.8mm, Karratha Airport recorded 209mm, Port Hedland 129mm, Barrow Island 73mm and Paraburdoo 52.4mm. 

Main Roads reports that the North West Coastal Highway is closed to all traffic between Roebourne and Port Hedland. 

The Weather Bureau has issued flood warnings for Pilbara coastal rivers. 

Further heavy rainfall of 50mm to 100mm with isolated heavier falls is expected in the the Turner and Yule River catchments and inthe Port Hedland area during today. 


Karratha worker Martin Tscheuschler said there had been heavy rain overnight. 

He said water in the mining site in which he worked was "a foot deep, maybe two in some places". 

Minor flooding is expected to continue in the Maitland River and extend toother streams between Karratha and Port Hedland during today. 

The State Emergency Service advises people and communities to be aware that flooding is possible and be prepared to relocate equipment and livestock. 


WATCH: Pilbara Floods.

Travellers need to be aware that road conditions may be adversely affected and travel plans may need to be reconsidered. 

Do not drive into water of unknown depth and velocity. 

Weather Bureau duty forecaster Rabi Rivett said the rainfall was caused by a small tropical low and a trough out to the north-west of the Pilbara, which interacted with a front and caused a cloud band and heavy rainfall. 

"This is very unseasonable rainfall," he said. "The highest totals have been right on the coast. 

"It's normally the type of rainfall you would see with a cyclone." 

The Department of Education says Baler Primary School, Nullagine Primary School, Marble Bar Primary School, Hedland Senior High School, Roebourne District High School and Wickham Primary School have all been affected by flooding.

Work is being carried out on a roof leakage at Baler Primary School. There is also no power or a landline phone connection at the school. 

Most students at Hedland Senior High School from outlying areas have been unable to attend school due to the flood waters and bus services from Point Samson, Wickham and Roebourne to Karratha Senior High School have been cancelled. 

Emergency services warned residents in coastal catchments between Onslow and east of Karratha and those in the Ashburton and Fortescue River catchments to prepare for possible minor flooding overnight and today. 

The rain is expected to weaken as it moves away from Karratha and starts streaming over Port Hedland throughout the morning. 

Heavy falls are expected through the eastern and inland areas of the Pilbara, with the rain moving over the Kimberley by Thursday. 

In the south of State overnight, North Island received 16mm of rain, Bunbury recorded 15.2mm, Collie East 10.8mm and Witchcliffe 10mm. Dwellingup recorded 17.8mm while Perth received 7.8mm of rain. 

Isolated showers are forecast for Perth today, with a maximum of 19C. 

The showers are expected to continue in the south tomorrow before conditions become sunny or partly cloudy by the weekend. - Yahoo.

Tsunami Fears Over Sea Floor Collapse Near Oz

Geologists say a slab of sea floor near the Great Barrier Reef is in the early stages of collapse and could trigger a tsunami.

A huge slab of sea floor near the Great Barrier Reef is in the early stages of collapse and could trigger a tsunami, researchers have warned.

Marine geologists from Australia's James Cook University have been using advanced 3D mapping techniques on the deepest parts of the reef since 2007 and have discovered dozens of sub-marine canyons.

On a recent trip, they found a one cubic kilometre slab of sea floor - the remains of an ancient underwater landslide - which is perched on the continental shelf.

Geologist Robin Beaman said: "Under-sea landslides are a well understood geological process, but we didn't know there were any on the Barrier Reef.

"It is sitting on top of a sub-marine canyon, cutting into the slopes and it is in the preliminary stage of collapse."

He added that it was unclear when the collapse would occur.

Mr Beaman said: "It is slowly giving way although it remains stable under current conditions.

"But it is absolutely going to collapse and when it does it will fall one kilometre into the adjacent basin.

"This will generate a localised tsunami that will affect the Queensland coastline, which is around 40 miles away.

"We're not trying to alarm people, but we need to know it is there and what could happen when it falls."

The discovery, published in the journal Natural Hazards, was made by geologists on board the research vessel Southern Surveyor.

Destruction caused by killshot solar wind

Pastor Wind said that when a killshot solar wind hits the earth, which is predicted through Remote Viewing by Ed Dames, the first wave of the killshot will arrive within 18 minutes.

Although the first wave of killshot won’t cause death, all fine sophisticated electronic components, including wires that are tinier than hair, will be destroyed after receiving the power. Therefore, the most obvious characteristic of the arrival of killshot is the malfunction or explosion of all sophisticated gadgets, such as mobile phones. All of them will be disconnected suddenly. Computers and instruments that rely on computers to operate will be out of order. For example, planes, cars and communication systems. If this happens, then it’s only 24 hours away from the fatal Killshot wave.

According to what Ed Dames saw through Remote Viewing, the south hemisphere will be hit by killshot first. The south hemisphere will be destroyed by the heated solar wind due to the rotation of the earth. For example, if Australia is hit by killshot, then everything in Australia will be destroyed. It’ll be just like atomic bombs’ attack. Everything on the south hemisphere will be destroyed 24 hours later. A solar wind will last for at least 24 hours.

In addition, all tropical and subtropical areas, that are regions beneath 30 degrees of the north latitude, these areas will also be affected by the shock wave. Although those places won’t be completely destroyed, cities contain a large amount of wires, antennas and metal pipes, these are conductors and they will receive energy like antennas received frequencies, and then they will be burnt or even explode because the amount of energy captured is too great.

For instance, if a killshot solar wind hits Australia, then it will only take 3 mins for the shock wave to affect HK. All buildings that contain wires, all electrical appliances or facilities, all underground cables, all water pipes under the streets and buildings, all light bulbs and light pipes and all overhead cables and electrical towers will be in fire and explode.

And this shock wave will last for at least 24 hours.
