Extreme Survival members are a group of ordinary people with extraordinary expectations of survival. We are organizing to prepare for the worst possible scenarios while we hope and pray for the best. Many scientists agree there is no question of if a major global disaster is going to happen. The only question is when and will we be able to survive it.
It seems we are approaching a critical timeline with 2012. Many complicated cycles are ending and renewing in this year. The suns cycle of solar flare activity is at its highest level in 2012, the Earths elliptic cycle ends (a roughly 26000 year cycle) in 2012. Moon-earth-sun-and the center of our galaxy is all expected to align in 2012. There are many theories of what may or may not happen when this time comes. Some say it will be the beginning of a new ERA of peace. Others say it will cause times of great catastrophe, disastrous weather and more all leading to the end of the world as we know it. Some say few among us will be spared. Extreme Survival plans to be prepared for the worst in the event the doomsayers are correct.
Extreme will extend invitations for you to join a specific ownership group. Selected candidates will open escrow for the purchase of their equity ownership interest of the nearest Extreme facility. Extreme will then complete the construction, equipping, outfitting and provisioning of each shelter facility. Once completed, ownership of each facility will be turned over to the respective Extreme Association. Each Extreme Owners Association will oversee the operations, security and maintenance of their facility with oversight from Elite management.
The operating rules and regulations will be established by the Elite and will guide the ongoing operations of the facilities prior to and during any disaster.
Each co-owner will receive a deeded co-ownership interest in their designated Extreme shelter closest to their home area. This deeded co-ownership interest and its accompanying membership in Extreme is fully transferable and can be sold at any time, willed to heirs or transferred as a gift to anyone subject only to the newly designated member's approval by the Elite selection committee.
Extreme owners will have an exclusive right to access and use of their respective Extreme shelter forever. At any time preceding an anticipated disaster or Earth devastating catastrophe owners may arrive at their facility enter and begin the survival operations. Owners need to only show up. Everything else will be provided.
Each owner will be assigned an ongoing responsibility based on their skills, expertise and ability. Abilities needed include medical, security, operations, maintenance, meal preparation, education, exercise and communications. Their collective abilities will help assure the anticipated long-term underground survival of each Extreme shelter. Make no mistake this will require an extreme commitment from each member. This cannot happen without personal, physical, financial and emotional strength from the community members we enlist. Become a elite member today and become part of the future.
Earthquake reported in Illinois
WEST SALEM, Ill. -- Bricks shook loose and fell from buildings. Walls cracked. Books tumbled off shelves.
A 5.2-magnitude earthquake centered near this southern Illinois town struck before dawn Friday, shaking things up from Nebraska to Atlanta but doing little damage and seriously hurting no one. It was the kind of temblor that might be ignored in earthquake-savvy California.
But the quake rattled nerves across the Midwest as it rocked skyscrapers in Chicago, 230 miles north of here, and sent people scrambling for their TV sets in Milwaukee, Cincinnati and Louisville, Ky., where bricks toppled to the pavement.
''We thought it (the house) was falling on us, we really did,'' said 85-year-old Anna Mae Williams, who was shaken awake at 4:37 a.m. in tiny West Salem, six miles from the epicenter.
Dozens of aftershocks followed, including one with a magnitude of 4.6.
The quake is believed to have involved an extension of the New Madrid fault, a network of deep cracks in the earth's surface, the U.S. Geological Survey said. The fault is at the center of the nation's most active seismic zone east of the Rockies, something that's known to Midwest residents -- even if they forget it now and then.
The last severe earthquake in the region was a 5.0 magnitude quake that shook a nearby area in 2002.
Williams said she knew exactly what was happening because it reminded her of an earlier earthquake, back in 1968. Others had no idea what was going on.
Janet Clem of nearby Mt. Carmel thought a nearby power plant had exploded.
It was the realization that what she'd heard -- ''a heckuva rumble then a loud kaboom'' -- was in fact one of the most powerful earthquakes in Illinois history that had her so afraid.
''I'm terrified, I'm not going to lie to you,'' she said after the earthquake that collapsed her porch. ''I've never experienced anything like that and I don't want to experience it again.''
The earthquake was the talk of towns throughout much of the Midwest.
''I just saw my house just shake. Golly,'' said Mike Morrow of Mount Carmel, his eyes widening during an aftershock that hit as he was interviewed by a reporter.
Morrow's two-story apartment building was evacuated because of loose and falling bricks. The initial quake woke the 30-year-old and startled his pit bull.
''He was about as scared as I was,'' Morrow said. ''We both just froze.''
Though nowhere close to the power of the nation's most famous quakes -- including the devastating temblor that hit San Francisco exactly 102 years ago Friday -- it was enough to remind people of the risk that exists in the Midwest.
In 1811 and 1812, the New Madrid fault produced a series of earthquakes estimated at magnitude 7.0 or greater said to be felt as far away as Boston. They were centered in the Missouri town of New Madrid (pronounced MAD'-rid), 140 miles southeast of St. Louis.
Experts said that with the much higher population in the Midwest, another major quake along the New Madrid fault zone could destroy buildings, bridges, roads and other infrastructure, disrupt communications and isolate areas.
Road crews in Kentucky and Indiana were out early Friday, inspecting bridges and overpasses, and work crews took a close look at skyscraper construction sites in Chicago.
Early homeowner damage claims received by State Farm, the largest provider of earthquake coverage in the area, were mostly for cracks in drywall and foundations, spokeswoman Missy Lundberg said.
Many residents said they felt helpless.
''I tell you, it was scary,'' said Williams. ''There was no warning at all.''
David Behm of Philo, 10 miles south of Champaign, said he was awakened by the quake.
''Windows were rattling, and you could hear it,'' he said. ''The house was shaking inches. For people in central Illinois, this is a big deal. It's not like California.''
