Requested merge

[edit]

Earthquake_cloudEarthquake_light — Regarding this issue I strongly disagree. This are two distinct phenomena, eventhough the cause is most likely the same; the effects cloud/light are evidently different in nature. That merits two separate articles, unless a more comprehensive article integrates them such as Earthquake_signs for instance. Abestrobi (talk) 00:45, 23 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I also disagree with the merge (Oppose). Earthquake clouds are not the same as earthquake lights. Earthquake clouds involve not only the rainbow-coloured clouds, but other phenomena such as rapidly-appearing clouds, as well as five distinct types of clouds visible on satellite photos, sometimes stretching for hundreds of kilometres, are also considered earthquake clouds. Also, earthquake lights and clouds are not always seen together, and books that I've read often talk about one and not the other, or keep them seperate topics. Also, the book I'm reading suggests that earthquake clouds may come as much as 103 days prior to the predicted earthquake. The photos from the Sichuan earthquake suggest they are the same thing, but there are still many different types of what are said to be earthquake clouds, some quite different from the ones observed. Earthquake lights can also come as a bright sky glow at night, or it can also happen during the day. Historical records suggest earthquake clouds can also appear like a long thin line, or appear as coloured bands of clouds with thunder and lightning that lead to excssive rain, or long-lasting snake-like black thread-like clouds that appear out of nowhere.

Predictions

[edit]

Zhonghao Shou, a retired chemist in California, has made dozens of earthquake predictions has some prediction become true?

According to the page, he claims 70% accuracy. So at least he claims that some predictions have come true. Not sure if these predictions are published openly beforehand or not in such a way that would enable verification of his claim. 216.36.186.2 (talk) 18:02, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hi. his website is directly linked from the article. Thanks. ~AH1(TCU) 21:55, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Now, 'Using the earthquake vapour theory to explain the French airbus crash'(Shou Zhonghao) will be published in Remote Sensing Letters (an authoritative magazine in U.K.), Volume 1,Number 2, June 2010. In this paper, Shou proposed a hypothesis based on different data and figures to explain the sudden disappearance of airplane happened on 1 June 2009. Other air crashs may also relative with earthquake vapour such as Yemen air crash (30 June 2009), Iran air crash (15 July 2009) and Ethiopia air crash (25 January 2010). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ashao (talkcontribs) 13:17, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merge/Move/Redirect to Earthquake Weather

[edit]

Somebody just haul off and do it. We don't need two articles for Earthquake Lights and Earthquake Clouds, and who knows what other weird in-the-sky phenomena somebody might create another redundant article for.--Mike18xx (talk) 00:19, 21 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Article Quality

[edit]

This article is really a template of everything that can be wrong, duplicated paragraphs, run-in sentences, awful organization. I say it should be completely redone, or better since there is no scientific evidence for these clouds, it should be removed altogether and put a footnote in Urban Legends or something. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.58.212.139 (talk) 14:02, 31 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
