Guest guest Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 Sunday, 1 October 2006, 18:19 GMT 19:19 UK Burst dam destroys Nigeria homes Hundreds of people in northern Nigeria have been made homeless after a dam burst in Zamfara state, the state's governor has said. Governor Ahmed Sani Yarima told the BBC torrential rain had brought the water level behind the dam to critical level, forcing it to burst. Mr Yarima said about 1,000 families had lost their homes but said that contrary to media reports no-one was killed. Earlier reports in local media said at least 40 people had died. The governor described how a wall of water swept through villages below the dam, close to the state capital Gusau. " The body of water was just like the pictures of tsunami that we've seen, " he said. " It had enough force and speed to sweep people off their feet and into the river. " Despite the force of the water, " all those missing were later found safe and alive, " Mr Yarima told Reuters news agency. People who have lost their homes are being sheltered in a local secondary school. The reservoir behind the dam provided the main supply of drinking water to Gusau. Mr Yerima said emergency repairs to the dam would take about two weeks but water supplies to Gusau should not be affected. He has called on the Nigerian federal government to provide aid. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/5396176.stm Jorge Angelino [jorge.angelino] segunda-feira, 2 de Outubro de 2006 10:04 'SAMVA ' RE: NIGERIA - Dam collapse floods Nigeria town Dear Sally, Dasha: Sa/Me/Ra/Me/Ra In D1, D4 and D6, Mercury is placed in signs of Venus. Both natal Mercury and transit Mercury were placed in Libra. The overall strength of Mercury is dependent of the transit strength of Venus. Transit Venus is combust, debilitated and within 5 degrees 17 minutes of stationary Rahu/Ketu axis, being closely afflicted by the MMP, Ketu.

I didn't know H12 was floods... Aloha, Sally P..S. One tell tale is the nodes do afflict just outside the 5 degree range in the natal..on the tenth, second, fourth, sixth, eighth and twelfth..otherwise how could you have predicted this? The nodes are also stationary, so maybe the five degree rule then gets stretched to this six..

We have to look carefully to the divisional charts. Transit Moon, MMP in D9, is exactly over natal Saturn, L9 in D1 and L6in D4. Rahu is placed in H6 in D4, disp osed by Saturn. In D8 Mercury is the MMP and is placed in the most malefic house in association with Rahu and Ketu. Ruling the H12 (floods), it brings death (D8) through floods.

Why isn't there more showing on the nata rasil planets is my quandary. Aloha, Sally On 10/1/06, Jorge Angelino < jorge.angelino (AT) netvisao (DOT) pt> wrote: Dear Sally, That is also true. Transit combust Mars, L8 (death) in D4 (assets) and L12 (floods) in D6 (accidents), closely asp ects natal Saturn and transit Moon. All land and buildings on it and the crops which grow and the mineral wealth are under the rule of Saturn. Afflicted Saturn would cause destruction of buildings, crops, mineral wealth particulary when Mars afflicts it.

So T- Ketu is afflicting T-Venus, natural signifier for assets and comforts. They are transit conjunct in the fourth of the home and the land. Thanks..for the exercise.
