High incidence of hurricanes and typhoons, and now, volcanic rumblings, strings of earthquakes... See my crackpot theory posted on September 14th. I naturally wonder how far this goes. I'm thinking there's more as Toutatis pulls away. It came closest this morning. It's nearly in our orbital plane, so it will continue to travel along with us, slowly creeping away. About mid-October, it will have pulled away to the same distance as mid-September when the run of hurricanes began. Toutatis' own elliptical orbit breaks away from ours in mid-November. As noted, I suspect the pull will manifest a bit differently than the push, and the pull started today. Guess we'll see. Maybe we've seen all the effects, maybe not.
