Myanmar Quake, storms, related to March’s Super Moon?
There seems to be some confusion as to the magnitude of the strong earthquake that struck Myanmar Thursday night. According to the current info at the USGS website, the quake was 6.8. According to CNN News, the Myanmar earthquake was a 7.0. There’s also some confusion related to Myanmar due to news sources in the area who refer to Myanmar by its ‘former’ name, Burma. While there’s still limited news to how much destruction was caused by the quake, we discovered the March 24 news report, Up to 4,000 fishermen from Pyapon missing in storms. Storms which occurred between March 14 and 17, the dreaded Super Moon window prediction from astrologer Richard Nolle. Nolle’s prediction: Strong storms, earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions during the month of March 2011. Nolle based his prediction, in part, on March’s Super Moon.
From March’s Super Moon: More Earthquakes, Weird Weather, Volcanic Eruptions?:
Nolle’s ‘Super Moon’ prediction:
‘The March 19 SuperMoon is by far the most significant storm and seismic indicator this month, but it’s not the only one. Lesser geocosmic shock windows also up the ante for unusually strong storms and moderate to severe seismic activity (including magnitude 5+ earthquakes, subsequent tsunami, and volcanic eruptions). These lesser windows include March 1-7 (surrounding the new moon on the 4th), March 23-26 (bracketing the lunar south declination peak on the 25th), and from late on the 31st on into early April.’
On March 23, Mizzima reported:
New Delhi (Mizzima) – For the remainder of the week, gales with winds of up to 70 miles per hour, tornadoes and thunderstorms are likely to hit lower Burma, according to a meteorologist with the Myanmar Climate Change Watch Group.
Heavy thunderstorms, tornadoes and gales are possible this week throughout the Irrawaddy delta, Rangoon and Pegu, according to meterologists.
Heavy thunderstorms, tornadoes and gales are possible this week throughout the Irrawaddy delta, Rangoon and Pegu, according to meterologists. Magway and Mandalay divisions and northern parts of Karen and Mon states also seem likely to be hit by gales and thunderstorms, Dr. Tun Lwin told Mizzima.
“Cumulonimbus clouds are very likely to form’, he said. ‘So, the weather will be awful in some places. Casualties are likely to result because of the weather’.
Mizzima news report, March 24–the day of the 6.8 Myanmar earthquake, or, the 7.0 ‘Burma’ Earthquake.
New Delhi (Mizzima) – Around 4,000 fishermen from the Pyapon area may have lost their lives in vicious storms that struck Irrawaddy Division last week, according to Win Kyaing, the general secretary of the Myanmar Fisheries Federation.

A state-run newspaper reported that 230 survivors were given refuge in the local high school. Win Kyaing said in a meeting held by the Myanmar Fisheries Federation on Tuesday that the 4,000 fishermen represent about 2,000 fishing rafts that were lost in storms from March 14 to 17, according to a reporter who attended the meeting.
The number of dead or missing is difficult to determine, said authorities.

The LA Times reported:
The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake was six miles deep and that it is possible that 600,000 people could feel shaking anywhere from strong to violent and that damage could be widespread.

Two small aftershocks measuring 4.8 and 5.4 in magnitude followed. There was no tsunami created because the quake was located too far inland.
The Times noted:
‘The quake was comparable in magnitude and depth to last year’s Haiti earthquake.’
The devastating 7.0 quake struck Haiti on January 12, 2010. According to the USGS, ’222,570 people killed, 300,000 injured, 1.3 million displaced, 97,294 houses destroyed and 188,383 damaged in the Port-au-Prince area and in much of southern Haiti.’
USGS:
The January 12, 2010, Haiti earthquake occurred in the boundary region separating the Caribbean plate and the North America plate. This plate boundary is dominated by left-lateral strike slip motion and compression, and accommodates about 20 mm/y slip, with the Caribbean plate moving eastward with respect to the North America plate.
