[sidereal] Sri Lanka Tsunami time?

[Guest guest]

Neville,

 

Thanks for the info. There appears to be major differences in

reported times. ie. below you quote BBC News as stating

the tsunami hit Colombo at 8:30am. I have just looked at

Digitalglobe's Quickbird aerial photos for Kalutara near Colombo.

Here the photo shows the impact, and the quote is that it was

taken shortly after impact at 10:20am local time. This seems a

more likely time due to the distance from the earthquake zone.

As Kalutara is on the other side of Sri Lanka the first wave may

have initially bypassed the West Coast before recoiling and doing

the damage.

 

Here are extracts from a report about the train the 'Queen of

the Sea' on which over 800 people died on the East Coast of Sri

Lanka

 

'The train left Colombo at 7:30 a.m. for Galle, 70 miles to the

southeast, a resort with large hotels and beaches sought by

weekenders. The water struck at 9:30 a.m. '

 

" The people in the village ran toward the train and climbed on

top of it, " he said. " Then the water level went down " a telltale

sign of the approaching tsunami, which sucks up coastal waters

before it strikes. " Ten minutes later, it came back, " he said.

 

http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory?id=366542 & CMP=OTC-RSSFeeds0312.

 

 

So here we have a near confirmation of the 9:25am

time (Sorry I had a typographical error in my original mail of

9:45am - the transit Asc was shown for 9:25am).

 

Note that the effect of the Tsunami was felt 10 minutes BEFORE

the tragedy at 9:30am ie. 9:20am. This EXACTLY corresponds

with transit Asc aspecting radical MC at 16 Taurus 23'01 " and

hence suggests that the Sri Lankan chart is correct .
