Will March 19 'Supermoon' Trigger Natural Disasters?

On March 19, the moon will swing around Earth more closely than it has in the past 18 years, lighting up the night sky from just 221,567 miles (356,577 kilometers) away. On top of that, it will be full. And one astrologer believes it could inflict massive damage on the planet.

Richard Nolle, a noted astrologer who runs the website astropro.com, has famously termed the upcoming full moon at lunar perigee (the closest approach during its orbit) an "extreme supermoon."

When the moon goes super-extreme, Nolle says, chaos will ensue: Huge storms, earthquakes, volcanoes and other natural disasters can be expected to wreak havoc on Earth.

According to this article stating that the last time the Moon was this close was 18 years ago or so I wonder if that has any connection to Hurricane Andrew which was one of the most destructive Hurricanes in modern history which happened in 1992 and if that has any connection to the events of the Moon being closer to the Earth at that time. Although it may be a bit before that though I just thought it was kind of interesting that it was around that long ago.

By the way I had a dream back in 2004 where I was looking up at the night sky and the Moon was way closer to the Earth than normal and the ground to started to shake tremendously. I know it was a dream but it was one of those really realistic dreams the kind you don't forget.

On March 19, 2011, the moon will be in such a low orbit that it will hit your eye like a big pizza pie...according to a prediction made in the 1950s by Dino Crocetti.

I find the term 'looming moon' sinister simply because the double oohs look like they're staring at me.

Use x's and it looks like a train. Chug-a-chugga.

10 yrs from now people will say 'Hey! remember when those solar flares were blasting?............Well that very same year a bunch of birds died in the air and a ton of sardines washed up on shore..........

You take a list of all disasters greater than a given test criterion, and you feed it into a math package to check for randomness. Any periodicity will show like a lit-up lightbulb. One would think that, if such a result had been detected, it would have been front page news in an extremely respectable journal like Nature the month after. If "noted astrologer" Richard Nolle is the only chap to have discovered it but refused to publish his evidence then we will all sleep easy in our beds on the reasonable assumption that he can only be deluded self-publicizing fraudster.

So scientist don't think this is relevant enough for column inches so we dig up an astrologer's thoughts on astronomical matters ??
