earthquake occurred where the Pacific
plate is subducting under the plate beneath
northern Honshu, causing the 2011 Tōhoku
earthquake and tsunami
Over the last 2 weeks, I noted three clusters occurring
- June pattern cluster among birthdays of recently deceased notable persons.
- US Politician deaths, with a large majority being from the Democratic Party (see previous post).
- “Carpenter Theme” (see my April 21st post, Westward Woe!! (Teeter Totter Earth Part 2– Update Apr 23, 26, 27)
Juliet Winters Carpenter (1948 – May 1, 2026) 77–78, American translator
Then on April 29–30, note the following recent notable deaths added to Wikipedia’s Deaths in 2026 site:
- René Gracida, (June 9, 1923 – April 30, 2026)102, bishop Pensacola–Tallahassee
- Bobby Murray (June 9, 1953 – April 30, 2026)72, US blues songwriter, producer
- Merle Bettenhausen (June 9, 1943 – April 29, 2026) 82, American racing driver
- 1954 – Joseph N. Welch, special counsel for the United States Army, lashes out at Senator Joseph McCarthy during the Army–McCarthy hearings, giving McCarthy the famous rebuke, "You've done enough. Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last? Have you left no sense of decency?"
- 1968 – U.S. President Lyndon B. Johnson declares a national day of mourning following the assassination of Senator Robert F. Kennedy.
- 1915 – William Jennings Bryan resigns as Woodrow Wilson's Secretary of State over a disagreement regarding the United States' handling of the sinking of the RMS Lusitania.
- Joseph Raymond McCarthy (November 14, 1908 – May 2, 1957)
- Lyndon Baines Johnson (August 27, 1908 – January 22, 1973)
- Robert Francis Kennedy (November 20, 1925 – June 6, 1968)
- William Jennings Bryan (March 19, 1860 – July 26, 1925)
- Thomas Woodrow Wilson (December 28, 1856 – February 3, 1924)
Since I had started this post on May 2, McCarthy’s date of death is an addition to the “Timely” pattern cluster. My dad passed away on Johnson’s birthday — August 27th, a day that’s also meaningful to my family in other regards— August 27th is the birthday of my dad’s brother, his great granddaughter, his uncle and his nephew (see my earlier post: Friday, August 21, 2015 Cross Over -- Hug O).
Three other recent additions to Wikipedia’s Deaths in 2026 site stands out:
- Hany Shaker (21 December 1952 – 3 May 2026) singer, actor (Sayed Darwish)
- Dionysis Tsamis (21 May 1951 – 1 May 2026) footballer (national team)
- Gwen Farrell (November 29, 1932 – April 30, 2026) actress (M*A*S*H); boxing referee
- Finn Wagle (19 June 1941 – 2 May 2026) bishop of Nidaros
It’s their names that jive together — the name “Shaker” is an addition to the “Word in Name” pattern cluster, and his first name Hany is an addition to the “Exchange Letter in Name Makes a Word” pattern cluster , and so making “many” and “hand” (many shaker… hand shaker); and then Shaker is a word that jives with the surname Tsamis (close enough to “tsunamis”), due to many tsunami’s being the result of a “shaker”— earthquake under the sea; and the surname Farrell is an addition to the recent “First and Last 2 Letters in Name Makes a Word” pattern cluster … and so making “fall”— the quake causes cliffs under the sea to “fall”— massive landslide that results in tsunamis. The name Finn Wagle is interesting in that we get “fin/finish eagle”… with the “eagle” being a cryptic reference to the US; and his birthday, June 19th, is also the birthday of this blog. As for the dates, what stands out the most, is the 21st day cluster, that together with my daughter’s birthday … and with April 21st being the 111th day of the year , we then have a “January 21, …, April 21, May 21, …, December 21/ 21st Day” pattern cluster. Note the following recent addition to Wikipedia’s Deaths in 2026 site:
José María Cruz Novillo(21 May 1936 – 2 May 2026)painter, designer and sculptor.
His birthday expanding the cluster: “January 21, …, April 21, May 21(x2), …, December 21/ 21st Day” pattern cluster.
Note the following information on following leads concerning Tsunami research:
In the 1950s, it was discovered that tsunamis larger than had previously been believed possible can be caused by giant submarine landslides. These large volumes of rapidly displaced water transfer energy at a faster rate than the water can absorb. Their existence was confirmed in 1958, when a giant landslide in Lituya Bay, Alaska, caused the highest wave ever recorded, which had a height of 524 metres (1,719 ft).
Kōtoku Wamura (February 21, 1909 – October 18, 1997) was a Japanese politician and hero who was the mayor of Fudai in Iwate Prefecture from 1947 to 1987.[1] He was credited with creating the floodgates that saved the village of Fudai, Iwate from the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami
Wamura’s birthday expands the cluster: “January 21, February 21, __, April 21, May 21(x2_,__, …, December 21/ 21st Day” pattern cluster
