Is there a relationship between the Salton Sea earthquake swarm near Obsidian Butte and the hurricane Katrina of 2005? Astrology says maybe.

First I decided to check Google to (hopefully) determine whether science makes any claims of relationship between terrestrial magnetism and earthquakes, hurricanes, or weather.
weather “terrestrial magnetism”
earthquake “terrestrial magnetism”
hurricane “terrestrial magnetism”

While I found no absolute yes or no answers in the few results I checked above, I found it interesting that some of the same sites tended to display in each search result.

My attention was drawn to the swarm of earthquakes that occurred at Obsidian Butte near the Salton Sea of California, and I noted the concentrated earthquake series started during Katrina on Aug 28, 2005. It’s ‘out there’ in concept, but whether the answer is yes, no, or maybe to the question posed in the title, it appears there is an astrological relationship between them.

I’ve checked some of the earthquake times and there are mundane angles running through Louisiana in many of them. The data for the first quake of the swarm beginning on the 28th:
2005/08/28 23:19:52 33.183N 115.596W 1.2 4 km ENE of Obsidian Butte, CA
Source: http://quake.wr.usgs.gov/recenteqs/Maps/116-33_full.html
(data older than one week not shown.) There was at least one Obsidian Butte quake prior to this after Katrina had been identified, but I chose the 28th as the first in an unbroken serial sequence that lasted through the 29th.

Here’s the AstroClick Travel map for that moment, the earthquake’s PDT has been converted to CDT by adding two hours.

What the map shows astrologically is a line representing the geographical locale where Pluto conjuncts the Descendant, and that line runs either right through or very close to New Orleans. Also, slightly to the west is the Uranus conjunct MC (midheaven) line.

This time is about 5 hours before the storm is reported to have hit the coast. There are 21 other Obsidian Butte earthquake times that curiously, of the several I’ve checked, have various mundane angle hits near Louisiana.

Another AstroClick Travel map for the time Katrina first hit the Louisiana coastline as reported by WDSU timeline: 5:34 a.m.: Katrina Makes Landfall.

This maps shows a line representing Chiron conjuncting the DS (descendant) running through the Salton Sea area. It also shows another line representing Mars conjunct MC (midheaven) slightly west of New Orleans, approximately bisecting the state of Louisiana.

In summary, the time of the first Obsidian Butte earthquake swarm shows astrological mundane angle (AS, MC, DS, IC) relationships to New Orleans, Louisiana: the time of Katrina first hitting the Gulf Coast states shows mundange angle relationships to both the Salton Sea (Obsidian Butte) and Louisiana.

I really don’t know what to make of it, other than forming the question regarding correlation posed in this article’s title.

Please note this article will be undergoing some edits and additions as time allows: this is a rough draft. I will try to put some standard astrological charts up in this article that will show the same angular relationships as the astromaps (astrocartography), but they won’t be overlaid on a geo-graph because I don’t have the necessary software.
