The Moon does an 18.6 year cycle.

A super moon is a new or full moon which occurs when the moon is at 90% or greater of its closest perigee approach to the earth.

An extreme super moon is when the moon is a new moon or full moon and is at 100% or greater mean perigee (closest) distance to earth.

1955 Floods:

There was an extreme super moon at full moon on 10-Nov-54. Flooding occurred from Oct'54 to 23-Feb-55.

1974 Floods: (18-19 years later)

There was an extreme super moon at full moon on January 8th 1974. 3 weeks of rain up to 29-Jan-74.

1992 Floods: (18-19 years later)

There was an extreme super moon at full moon on 19-Jan-92.

2011 Floods: (18-19 years later).

There are super moons at full moon on 18-Feb-11, 19-Mar-11 and 18-Apr-11.

And There is an extreme super moon on the full moon of the 19-Mar-11 LK GP !

I guess this is why they are predicting 6/7 cyclones this year ????????

I hope everybody has a snorkel in their glider!!
