Since her first public prognostication (tropical cyclone Pierre, 1985), her predictions of the dates and locations of tropical cyclones and storms have been published every year in the Australian media. In the United States, where she resides part-time in the Houston, Texas, area, she has been featured in the local media every year since 1988 with accurate predictions of the dates and locations of each season's hurricanes. Having no formal training in meteorology or long-range weather forecasting, Jennifer developed an interest in weather prediction after reading a small book on the subject in 1980. For five years she conducted research into planetary effects on weather patterns and the tropical cyclones which form every year in Australia's Coral Sea region. Through her observations, Jennifer concluded that the planets do have a major effect on altering weather patterns. In February 1985, Jennifer had her first predictions of summer storms and tropical cyclones published by Brisbane's Sunday Sun newspaper. She was successful in pinpointing three out of four cyclones that formed in the Coral Sea that season, as well as 85 per cent of the summer storms. Subsequently, various Queensland newspapers published her tropical cyclone forecasts for every summer season, and Jennifer began to establish a proven track-record. Her greatest achievements in forewarning the public of fierce Coral Sea cyclones that would target the Queensland coast include TC Charlie in 1988 and TC Joy, the destructive cyclone that hit the far north coast in December 1990. With her cyclone forecasts for Australia proving successful, Jennifer, living part-time in Houston, had her list of hurricane dates and locations for the up and coming 1988 Atlantic hurricane season published in June 1988 in Houston's Uptown Express (Uptown Health and Spirit) magazine. Houston's Channel 2 Nearly Noon gave Jennifer a spot on the show where she predicted that in early September 1988 a fierce hurricane would move into the Gulf of Mexico. The fierce hurricane turned out to be Gilbert-a category-five storm which was so large it almost covered the Gulf of Mexico. The following June, in 1989, Jennifer appeared again on Nearly Noon, this time predicting that a fierce hurricane would target the South Carolina coast around September 20&endash;22. Hurricane Hugo slammed into Charleston right on target. In 1992, Jennifer also predicted the date and formation of hurricane Andrew and that it would also target the US east coast. Jennifer Lawson has written her book, Violent Weather Predictions 2000&endash;2001 (Llewellyn, 1999; see review this issue), primarily to forewarn the public as to when and where in the world severe weather patterns and earthquake and volcanic activity are likely to create havoc around the turn of the century. What follows is an interview with Jennifer (plus several inclusions from her book), in which she summarises some of her key predictions for 2000&endash;2001. 1. How do you predict the weather? It's long-range weather, for a start, and not based on conventional methods of meteorology. The system I use is based on the fundamental principles of astrometeorology, which seeks to forecast weather by studying the angular positions of the Sun, Moon and planets in relation to each other and to the Earth. Their combined influences disrupt and disturb Earth's atmosphere, affecting our weather patterns. The celestial bodies' declinations-their angular distance north or south of the Earth's equator-are just as important as longitude and latitude when determining long-term weather patterns. For example, when two or more of the slower-moving outer planets are grouped together at their most southerly point of declination-23� south at the Tropic of Capricorn-the winter months in the northern hemisphere will be severely cold and the summers cooler than usual, while the southern hemisphere summers will be extremely hot and dry with milder winters. And vice-versa when the planets are grouped at their most northerly declination, the Tropic of Cancer at 23� north. Several planets grouped around the Earth's equator at zero degrees of declination appear to greatly disrupt and disturb the atmosphere, generating powerful storm systems. The influence of the planet Mars on the equator is perhaps the most effective planet of all in stirring up great storms, hurricanes, tropical cyclones and typhoons. Fierce hurricane Hugo was an example of Mars on the equator at zero degrees declination. How severe a season will be is determined by the declinations of the slower-moving outer planets, conjoined by the faster-moving planets Mars and Mercury. Because Mercury moves so quickly and rotates around the Sun roughly four times a year, its influence on terrestrial weather patterns is more pronounced and it brings dramatic changes in weather more quickly than all of the other planets put together. The planets, Sun and Moon act like characters on a stage. First, the outer planets-Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto-set the scene; then Mars, Venus and Mercury enter the stage as the major players. Lastly, the Moon makes the grand entrance on stage as the final "trigger" to them all. The planets also have a major bearing on the solar surface in heightening sunspot activity and solar flares-which also affect our weather patterns. 2: How do the planets affect sunspots and solar flares and how do these affect our weather? Research of the solar surface, done by RCA's shortwave radio expert John Henry Nelson back in the 1940s, revealed that planets do have a major impact on the unstable electrified area of the Sun's surface, where the most minuscule gravitational tug from the planets can create an avalanche effect, causing major turbulence in the solar atmosphere and heightening sunspot activity and solar flares. Electromagnetically charged particles and solar winds ejected from large solar flares stream throughout the solar system, bombarding Earth's ionosphere, disturbing our magnetic fields and causing powerful magnetic or electric storms to rage across the planet. Solar flares can also cause the molten interior of the Earth to move in powerful, circular currents, placing enormous stresses on the interplay of tectonic plates, resulting in earthquakes and volcanic activity. Our planet is a part of everything else in our solar system, galaxy and universe. Everything is interactive, interdependent and interrelated. 3. Why will the weather be so violent in 2000&endash;2001? Although up to 2,000 storms rage across our planet at any given time, most don't make front-page news. However, in the years 2000 and 2001, weather patterns will be particularly violent for several reasons. Not only will the planets be forming powerful angles to each other, resulting in violent weather patterns, but the disruptive 11-year sunspot cycle, producing higher-than-normal sunspot activity, will peak in the year 2000, enhancing violent weather patterns. But this is only the beginning. In July 2000, three eclipses-two solar and one lunar-will bring floods of gigantic proportions as well as severe weather and quakes. But the major feature for the year 2000 will occur on May 4&endash;5, when six planets will align in almost a straight line, with the Earth on one side of the Sun and five planets aligned on the other. It will be the first time in 6,000 years that such an alignment has taken place. The combined effects of all these factors will not only trigger violent weather, but powerful seismic activity as well. The effects of high sunspot activity can already be seen in the massive earthquake that struck Turkey on August 17, 1999, causing a domino effect of violent earthquakes targeting other areas of the world. If the recent spate of violent earthquakes is any indication to go by, the May 2000 earthquake could be a magnitude 8 or higher on the Richter scale, dwarfing the magnitude 7.3 tremor that struck Turkey. 4. What do you think will happen when the planets 'align' on May 4&endash;5, 2000? Although the Earth could experience some fierce weather patterns and heightened seismic activity from mid-March through May, my major concern with the May 4&endash;5 alignment is that it will place stresses on the tectonic plates, thereby precipitating violent earthquakes and possibly volcanic eruptions. Location charts earmark northern California as being potentially one of the major areas that could be hit by seismic activity in May, but not necessarily on the exact day as the planetary alignment. 5. Is this the "big one" to hit California, that everybody has been waiting for? It could well be the "big one", although June 12&endash;22, 2001 is another date that will also need close watching for a major Californian tremor. 6. Are earthquakes and volcanic eruptions predictable? Yes. Using the same system I use for weather forecasting, earthquake and volcanic activity can also be predicted. Just for the record, my first public prediction was not weather-related at all, but volcanic-when I successfully pinpointed Mount St Helens as erupting on August 7, 1980. In the early 1990s, Houston's Uptown Express magazine published a series of earthquake predictions for California which rated about 70 per cent accurate, but since then I haven't worked in that particular line of prediction. So yes, it is possible to predict quakes. 7. Will other areas of the US be affected in 2000&endash;2001? Let's look at 2000 first. I anticipate powerful tornado outbreaks, most likely beginning around mid-March throughout April, especially 13&endash;23, with a particularly violent period from May 13&endash;23. Floods could wreak havoc in midwestern and eastern states, including areas near the Mississippi and Ohio river valleys, from late June through July. California could also experience heavy rainfall and mudslides in July. For the Atlantic hurricane season, tropical storms will begin in July, with several dangerous hurricanes to watch for in August, mid-September and October. A fierce system forming in the Atlantic around August 22&endash;31, possibly attaining category-five hurricane status, could take aim at Florida or the Carolinas. 8. And what about 2001 for the United States? The year 2001 will get off to a stormy start with some pretty severe, wintry conditions for the US from mid-January through February. Blizzards, possible ice storms, and lots of heavy snowfall will plague the northern states. The worst months anticipated for violent weather in 2001 will be from May through June, when severe tornado outbreaks could rip up through tornado alley, the Midwest and the Deep South. For the second year in a row, the Mississippi and Ohio river valleys are likely to experience major flooding. California could be either rocked by another powerful tremor between June 10&endash;22, or targeted by a rare offshore hurricane that has meandered further north than usual. If an El Ni�o doesn't develop in 2001, the Atlantic hurricane season will begin in June with several fierce tropical storms. Other intense hurricanes should form around late August through mid-September, and several unusually powerful hurricanes are expected to form in October. <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
