Nuclear Blast Interactive Map Calculator
If a terrorist detonated a nuclear device in your city, how far would the blast reach? How far would the fallout go? What are the chances of survivability from a suitcase nuke, an aircraft launched nuclear warhead, or even an extinction level asteroid impact? This interactive Google map shows the blast pattern and fallout patterns of various size nuclear devices. The map controls are fairly intuitive, but just in case, we've prepared a quick instruction sheet. Click on the image to enlarge.
Survival Lessons Learned From Watching The Walking Dead
Survival Lessons Learned From Watching The Walking Dead Don't get me wrong, I love The Walking Dead TV show on AMC, but as I watch some of the most obvious and painful mistakes, I wonder why the writers would make the characters so stupid. Creative license? Better drama? The Zombie apocalypse happened. Walkers are everywhere. The world is now their very own, 24-hour garage sale. So, with the population of the actual living being so thin, and supplies so plentiful, why do they do the things they do? If there's ever a Zombie Apocalypse (or pandemic or other disaster), here are some of the ...
CDC Zombie Apocalypse Article
Even the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has a sense of humor. On Monday, May 16, 2011, advice for dealing with a Zombie Apocalypse was posted on the CDC emergency preparedness blog by Dr. Ali Khan, director of emergency preparedness. The idea for a Zombie Apocalypse themed post was conceived by veteran communication specialist Dave Daigle. Dr Kahn immediately approved the concept and wrote the blog article himself. The plan was to increase public interest in disaster preparedness. Dr Khan's postings usually receive 1000 to 3000 views per WEEK. The Zombie article was so popular, that it received 30,000 views the ...
Japanese Tsunami Pictures
Various Tsunami pictures from Japan after the earthquake on March 11, 2011. In the disaster movies, people would get on top of building to get away from a tidal wave, as seen in Japan, the tsunami not only took out boats, cars, airplanes and landscape, but it took done many buildings that were in it's path. The many pictures and videos that were taken during this event show the greatest danger of the tsunami: the debris that's pushed in front of the wave. It's not clear water, it's wood, glass, rocks, cars, trucks, oil, waste, trees, bodies and everything else that ...
List Of Mass Fish & Bird Kills Worldwide
The first national headline covered thousands of birds that apparently fell from the sky, dead, on January 1, 2011. Wildlife officials have blamed everything from fireworks startling the roosting birds, to blunt trauma caused by hail. Flocks of birds typically don't fly at night, so trauma from hail or fireworks, are very weak arguments. Since this was reported, many other mass animal kills have been reported world-wide. Everywhere from Sweden, to the US to the UK. So far, mass deaths have only been reported for birds, fish and other marine life that typically cluster together. I'll make this a sticky entry and update ...
Sun Fires “Solar Tsunami” At Earth.
Earth is in line to be hit with a "solar tsunami", as it's being called by scientists. The suns surface erupted early Sunday morning, August 2, and ejected tons of plasma. The tsunami-like shock wave, formally called a Moreton wave, rolled across the hot surface, destroying two visible filaments of cool gas on opposite sides of the visible face of the Sun. This massive solar flare will hit the Earth sometime on August 3rd and August 4th. The solar flare is expected to create geomagnetic storms that will result in spectacular light displays at the Northern latitudes, threaten satellites, cause intermittent cellular ...
Volcanoes in the United States
When the volcano in Eyjafjallajokull Iceland erupted, it was considered a relatively small eruption, but yet the ash cloud caused massive continent wide chaos in Iceland and virtually shut down the aviation industry in Europe due to the ash cloud. Do you think that can't happen in the United States? As of this writing, there are 160 known active volcanoes in the US, including Alaska and Hawaii.

Eyjafjallajökull Volcano Eruption Pictures
The 2010 eruptions of Eyjafjallajökull are a sequence of volcanic events at Eyjafjöll in Iceland which, although relatively small for volcanic eruptions, caused enormous disruption to air travel across western and northern Europe over an initial period of six days in April 2010. Additional localised disruption continued into May 2010. Seismic activity started at the end of 2009 and gradually increased in intensity until on 20 March 2010, a small eruption started that was rated as a 1 on the Volcanic Explosivity Index.[1] Beginning on 14 April 2010, the eruption entered a second phase and created an ash cloud that led to ...
Unusual Event In Australia: Fish Fell From The Sky
Every now and then an interesting event is reported via the RsoeEdis RSS feed in our sidebar. Rsoe reports events around the world.

Fact Check: 2012 & The Mayans
Mayan's and 2012 - 2012 is the end-date of the current (13th) b'ak'tun of the Long Count calendar, used by the Mayan Meso-American civilization. In their creation myth, we live in the fourth "attempt" at creating the world, while the third attempt was dismissed as a failure after its own 13th b'ak'tun. Though Mayan documents contain no such information, popular culture and certain religions predict an apocalyptic event at this date. It is popularly misunderstood that the calendar "ends" on this date, however the Long Count calendar can express dates from approximately 3000BC (their date for the creation of the ...
Mega-tsunami could devastate US coastline
Mega-tsunami could devastate US coastline A tsunami wave higher than any in recorded history threatens to ravage the US coastline in the aftermath of a volcanic eruption in the Canary Islands, UK and US scientists will report today. Locations on both African and European Atlantic coastlines - including Britain - are also thought to be at risk. The new research, a collaboration between Dr. Simon Day of the Benfield Greig Hazard Research Centre at UCL and Dr. Steven Ward of the University of California, reveals the extent and size of the mega-tsunami, the consequence of a giant landslide that may be triggered ...
Yellowstone Caldera & Supervolcano
What is the Yellowstone Caldera? The Yellowstone Caldera, also known as the Yellowstone supervolcano, is a highly geologically active region in Yellowstone National Park. It measures 55 kilometers by 72 kilometers. Its volcanic activity is currently exhibited only via numerous geothermal vents scattered throughout the region, including the famous Old Faithful Geyser, but within the past two million years it has undergone three extremely large explosive eruptions. The most recent such eruption occurred 640,000 years ago, and spread a layer of volcanic ash over most of the North American continent. Smaller explosive eruptions, similar to the 1980 Mount St. Helens eruption, occur every ...
