Weather By The Moon injured in Brazil when a train plunged into the Tangua River, northeast of Rio de Janiero. Most of the passengers were Easter holiday makers, sleeping when the train sped over a bridge that wasn’t there. In Spain, 19 were killed when two trains collided in the atrocious weather. And in England, a minor air crash. In New South Wales, heavy rain caused flooding that almost totally submerged the town of Warren population 2000. It was the 10th of April, same day as the Wahine capsizing. Same date. Same position of the Moon; (within 4 days of Full Moon in perigee). There was just one difference - ALL THE ABOVE newspaper reports were from the same date, ONE MOON CYCLE BEFORE. So could the Wahine tragedy conditions have been foreseen? Opposite is the sequence of the old meteorological service maps, hand-drawn as they were back then a 19-year Moon cycle previously, from 9/4/49 to 11/4/49. One can see a rather nasty-looking low pressure system moving up and over the country from the south. Southerlies always whip the Cook Strait into a fury. By the 10th it appears to be crossing the middle of the country. The storm’s centre has reached the north by the 11th but stormy conditions still look to be prevailing over areas to the south. We can assume that the day of 10/4/49 would not have been sunny and pleasant, least of all calm. We can also postulate that all shipping through the Cook Strait would have been advised to wait till the bad weather had subsided. And one Moon cycle after the 10th April 1968? 180
