10 mins before the 2008 Sichuan earthquake in China Bizarre glowing cloud phenomenon in the sky was observed about 10 mins before the May 12, 2008 Sichuan earthquake took place. This was recorded in Meixian, Shaanxi province ~550km northeast of epicenter. The phenomenon was said to last for about 1 min. source: http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_cb00XMjczNTczNDA=.html A map showing two locations where such clouds were sighted relative to Sichuan earthquake epicenters: http://img223.imageshack.us/img223/2453/ecjm1.jpg See similar clouds appeared ~200km west of this location: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKMTSDzU1Z4 More photos (reported taken 1 hr before the quake): http://shenyun.epochtimes.com/b5/8/5/14/n2116538.htm These clouds seemed to be glowing or somewhat luminous and seemed to resemble some characteristics of the Auroras. I am not sure exactly what they were or whether they indeed had anything to do with the quake. I am no expert anyways. See if any scientists are willing to give a full explanation. If such phenomenon can be proved for its connection with earthquake occurrences, maybe they could be used as warning signs and would be life saving. If not, just learn these clouds as yet another rare atmospheric phenomenon and no need to panic when seeing them. After all, this might well be just a rare atmospheric phenomenon occurred by coincidence. Though, just wondering if there's any possibility the formation of such rare clouds be catalyzed by any event??

Rice Visits Quake-damaged Sichuan, China ANCHOR: U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice arrived in earthquake-ravaged Sichuan Province on Sunday, under pressure to raise human rights issues with the Chinese communist regime. But she also took time to tour some of the worst hit areas of the May 12th quake, and praised the efforts of Chinese people and NGOs to help the victims. STORY: After landing in Chengdu, Rice toured parts of the devastated Dujiangyan city. Ten percent of the buildings in Dujiangyan were brought down by the 7.9-magnitude quake. [Condoleezza Rice, U.S. Secretary of State]: "It is really a sign of how the human spirit can overcome great devastation. Even if we are here among people who are rebuilding their lives we remember of course the many people who lost their lives, including the children who lost their lives. And they will always be remembered." A large number of children were killed when their schools collapsed during the quake. And many Chinese parents are still seeking answers to why so many schools collapsed--even in areas where other buildings were virtually unharmed. The U.S. government has spent over $3.7 million U.S. dollars to help the quake victims. But friction remains between Washington and Beijing over the Tibet issue and human rights in general. Washington has publicly criticized China's human rights record and urged China to continue talks with Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama. Rice's visit is part of an Asian trip which also includes stops in Japan and South Korea. Tags: ntd condoleezza rice sichuan earthquake china human rights |

Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao 温家宝 in China Sichuan Earthquake DUJIANGYAN, Sichuan, May 13 -- Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao ordered to remove barriers and open up roads to epicenter before 12 p.m. Tuesday after a strong earthquake jolted southwest China's Sichuan Province Monday afternoon. Wen held an emergency meeting at 7: a.m. Tuesday morning, saying "We must try our best to open up roads to the epicenter and rescue people trapped in the disaster-hit areas." Wen stressed the military forces should try their best to open up roads to the epicenter and at the same time to air-drop commodities like food, pharmacy to the areas. Currently, the situation in Wenchuan, Lixian County and Maoxian County is still unclear and rescuers are unable to reach this areas, he said. "We must try to send rescuers to every affected city, county even village before 12 p.m. to obtain information and rescue survivors," he said. The 7.8-magnitude quake, which occurred in Wenchuan Monday afternoon, has killed 9,219 people in eight affected provinces and municipality including Sichuan, Gansu, Shaanxi, Chongqing, Yunnan, Shanxi, Guizhou and Hubei, the ministry of civil affairs said in are lease issued at 7 a.m. The road from Dujiangyan, a city northwest of the provincial capital Chengdu, to Wenchuan, the epicenter, was blocked by rocks and mud slides, holding up rescue, medical and other disaster relief teams. "At present, we have great difficulties to carry out our rescue work", Wen said, noting "Blocked road, disrupted communication and continuous rainfall have all created obstacles to our rescue efforts." "People's lives and property safety are the top priorities and many people are still trapped in debris," the premier said, stressing "We must treasure every second and do our utmost to save survivors." Wen urged local officials to console people, saying the central government attached great importance to the rescue work after the calamity hit China. All the medical staffs, rescuers together with emergency goods will continue to be delivered to the disaster-stricken areas, he said. He required all the official to carry out their due responsibility in the rescue work. Tags: Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao 溫家寶 温家宝 Hu Jintao Earthquake China Sichuan wenchuan disaster |

Glowing Color-Clouds 30 Min Before 2008 Sichuan China Quake These clouds seemed to be glowing or somewhat luminous and seemed to resemble some characteristics of the Auroras. An earthquake light is an unusual luminous aerial phenomenon, similar in appearance to the aurora borealis, that allegedly appears in the sky at or near areas of tectonic stress, seismic activity or volcanic eruptions. Scientific evidence for the presence of lights is sketchy, given that there are few references documenting the phenomenon. The lights are most evident in the middle period of an earthquake, although there are reports of lights that occurred after or even before the earthquake, as in the 1976 Tangshan earthquake. They usually have shapes similar to those of the auroras with white to bluish hue, but occasionally they have been reported to have a wider color spectrum. The luminosity is typically visible for several seconds, but there have been cases in which they lasted tens of minutes. In the 1930 Idu earthquake, lights were reported up to 70 miles from the epicentre.[1], although most lights are not so far away. There have also been cases in which electromagnetic waves caused by the earthquake interfered with radio transmissions, such as during the Great Chilean Earthquake of 1960. Distinguishing earthquake lights from other transient optical phenomena can be difficult during the chaos of a tremor. For example, a bluish-white flashes that are accompanied by loud bangs or hissing during an earthquake are more likely the result of electrical arcing in power lines or transformers.
