Azrael's Feast - update

Azrael's Feast is the name given to a particular configuration shaping up in the skies between Oct 26th and Nov 14th 2008. Back in March 2008, Osrail Moriendis identified this pattern and observed that departures from this world would be rising exponentially at this time.

Today is Nov 15th, and a fitting moment for a retrospective. There have been many disasters and tragedies in the news over the last three weeks which have involved deaths on a large scale. The configuration denoted Azrael's Feast has been complicit in only some of them, namely:

• a cholera outbreak in Zimbabwe - despite official denials the death toll is estimated to be in the region of 250 and counting.
• a bomb blast in Pamplona - no fatalities fortunately
• the fires in Santa Barbara, CA - 1 fatality reported
• landslides in Chuxiong, Yunnan, China - 20 dead, 41 missing

Azrael's Feast returns in 2009 in February and again in December.
