On Tuesday 25th May, an electrical generating turbine caught fire at the Callide power station north of Brisbane, in Queensland, Australia. And the resulting power outage caused disruption to over 400,000 properties… including hospitals and traffic management systems. Many of the media reports I have sourced, state that this event occurred at “around” or “approximately” 1:45 pm local time (03:45 UTC). It has been known for many years that solar influences on national grids, have been responsible for several significant power outage events. But my question is: could we say the same about volcanic influences ?
On 25th May at 03:43 UTC, it was sunrise on Mt Etna volcano in Sicily, Italy on coordinates 14’59’E – 37’45’N. At “12-hours” earlier 15:43 UTC 24th May, it was sunrise on Mt kilauea volcano in Hawaii on coordinates 155’17’W – 19’24’N. At ten seconds earlier 15:42:50 UTC, the moon was located on longitude 98’21’E. On 21st May at 18:04:14 UTC, an M 7.3 event occurred in Southern Qinghai, China on longitude 98’21’E !
On 24th May at 20:30 UTC, it was sunrise at the Callide power station. At twelve seconds earlier 20:29:48 UTC, the moon was located on longitude 29’15’E… Mt Nyiragongo volcano in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DM Congo) is located on coordinates 29’15’E – 1’31’S
There is a two minute difference between my event time calculations, and the media reports. But does the definition of “around” or “approximately” conveniently allow for a two minute discrepancy ?
“”Get the kettle on quick, it will be moonrise on Mount Etna in 4 minutes””
“Don’t be daft, Mount Etna is 9,630 miles away”….
