2004 Indian Ocean Earthquake and Tsunami


December 26, 2004 Indian Ocean Earthquake and Tsunami



The 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake was an undersea megathrust earthquake that occurred at 00:58:53 UTC on Sunday, 26 December 2004, with an epicentre off the west coast of Sumatra, Indonesia. The quake itself is known by the scientific community as the Sumatra - Andaman earthquake. The resulting tsunami was given various names, including the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, South Asian tsunami, Indonesian tsunami, the Christmas tsunami and the Boxing Day tsunami.

The earthquake was caused when the Indian Plate was subducted by the Burma Plate and triggered a series of devastating tsunamis along the coasts of most landmasses bordering the Indian Ocean, killing 230,000 people in fourteen countries, and inundating coastal communities with waves up to 30 metres (100 ft) high.[9] It was one of the deadliest natural disasters in recorded history. Indonesia was the hardest-hit country, followed by Sri Lanka, India, and Thailand.

With a magnitude of Mw 9.1Ð9.3, it is the third-largest earthquake ever recorded on a seismograph. The earthquake had the longest duration of faulting ever observed, between 8.3 and 10 minutes. It caused the entire planet to vibrate as much as 1 centimetre (0.4 inches) and triggered other earthquakes as far away as Alaska. Its epicentre was between Simeulue and mainland Indonesia. The plight of the affected people and countries prompted a worldwide humanitarian response. In all, the worldwide community donated more than $14 billion (2004 US$) in humanitarian aid.

Children of the Tsunami

The Plight of the Orphans

Searching For Lost Children

Setting up refugee camps

Rescuing the children




Many anguished parents searched for their lost children in hospitals and shelters formed by organizations around the world. In the aftermath of the tsunamis in Asia, there are many orphaned children, some with siblings. There is fear of children being kidnapped for any number of reasons, past history telling us about human-trafficking of children and young teens, slavery, rape, and all sorts of other abuses that dysfunctional souls perpetuate for money or other sick motivations.




Animals of the Tsunami, Animals Have a Sixth Sense

There were no dead animals, Did they have quake warning? BBC

One interesting fact came out of the tsunami disaster, the possible verification of something most of us already knew, animals have a 6th sense 'esp'ecially in the face of disaster. Humans also display extraordinary abilities when faced with disaster, their psychic abilities heighten. It is about raising your frequency to a higher volume, when faced with fear. Fear wakes/shakes you up! It jolts your consciousness within and without of the grid. Your instincts are to go to higher frequencies for answers, god, for example,, as you instinctively know the answers are not in this realm.

Animals in general, particularly dolphins, domesticated animals, and sometimes wild animals, often seem more attuned to things beyond this realm. If you have ever observed an animal you know that they often chase after, or stare at, something which is invisible to us. People who live with animals are aware that animals dream, which means that they too are experiencing multi-dimensionally. Animals are capable of seeing and hearing beyond human frequency. One could assume it is part of their survival instinct. It is perhaps for this reason that no one has found dead animals in the aftermath of the earthquake and tsunami.

In the past, it has been recorded that animal behavior is an indicator of Earth changes. Cats in particular, act strangely before an earthquake or other impending disaster. This may occur days before the event. On some level they must be able to feel / sense subtle vibrations in the Earth's magnetic fields, which act as a warning. In the case of the tsunami, many people believe that the animals heard the water before it came to the shore, causing them to run to safety.




Communicating With The Dead in Indonesia

Ghosts stalk Thai tsunami survivors BBC

While reading a client on Tuesday, I 'saw' the image of an elephant followed by the faces of people who had died in the Tsunami tragedy. The images looked like slides rather than animations. The client I was with had nothing to do with this tragedy, so I knew I had randomly tapped into the grid of those events. As if viewing an 'instant replay', I saw a sunny calm day erupt into tragedy, followed by an endless number of souls caught up, as if in a whirlwind of energy spiraling them upward ... then they disappeared. I saw animals, elephants in particular, spiraling up with them. The image of the elephant returned. It looked at me then disappeared. I looked for the souls, but the images 'faded to black.'
