We all know from the history of the catastrophic flood of 1824 in St. Petersburg. But closer inspection reveals that perhaps the peak of the cosmic catastrophe occurred in mid-November. And it was she who caused much greater destruction throughout the earth than just destruction in St. Petersburg.

The real cause of the 1824 flood in St. Petersburg

History teaches us that on November 7 (November 19, old style) a monstrous wind blew in the morning, which blew a lot of water from the bay. The storm raged and the water level in St. Petersburg rose by more than 4 meters. While copying a short description from the site

Already on the eve - November 6 - a strong wind was blowing from the bay. Towards evening, the weather got worse, and water began to arrive. A real storm broke out at night. In the early morning, signal lights were lit on the Admiralty Tower, warning residents of the city of the threat of flooding.

It is also worth adding that the Southwest wind was blowing. The pressure was at an all-time low. Also note that the storm did not rage for so long - literally half a day.

The storm was so strong that it smoked the granite embankments and even threw a steamer from Bert's factory into the city. The evidence also indicates that the roofs were blown down like paper ones, the masonry of houses was smashed, the wooden structure was simply blown away. One can imagine - what kind of power it was! This is probably how tropical hurricanes are now.

Moreover, the uniqueness of that flood in terms of the height of the rise of water is indicated by the fact that St. Berg V. N. and describes that if there was such a flood at Peter1, then the height of the rise of the water was not 4, but 7 meters!

Many poets, impressed by this flood, wrote their works. In general, a lot of things remained in the memory of the flood. But why did such a short-term storm of the highest strength arise? The wind just blew and caught up with a wave from the bay. Yes, this is how all floods occur in St. Petersburg, and everyone thought that the wind was just blowing very strong - which means that the flood was a little stronger. But upon careful comparison of the facts, it turns out that this is not entirely true.

In his book about the floods that happened in St. Petersburg, V. N. Berg. made one curious footnote

Oh how! Also southwest wind. A storm that old-timers don't remember. And the same numbers! Only here is the other end of the world - North America. By the way, there is nothing surprising about the data from California - this is a Russian colony, the sources of which lie in the center of Russia - the city of Totma.

Most likely, the data on the wild storm off the coast of San Francisco was delivered by our magnificent navigator of the time, Otto Von Kotzebue. He was just in the San Francisco area in September-November 1824 and this is what he wrote

" November. 9. On November 9th, around the very time at which, as we later learned, a terrible flood occurred in St. Petersburg, a southwestern wind blew with extraordinary force in the Bay of St. met on the way. We were in a very dangerous position this day, and in keeping everything intact we were only lent to our good anchor and strong rope. The water surged from the banks and sunk the place where our tents were pitched for astronomical observations; the people who lived on the shore barely had enough time to save the tools.

This quote is from this article. Read it, there is a lot written about this storm.

It is important here that the wind is still southwest, there was a tsunami and hail with rain. Well, oh, the strength of the wind was catastrophic. This the disaster destroyed the fleet off the coast, changed the coastline of the island. The damage was colossal.

Many details are still on the link, the illustration of a storm off the coast of England was taken from there

It also indicates that a storm of unprecedented strength hit the east coast of the present United States, which also caused catastrophic destruction on the coast. And there, too, a southwest wind was blowing.

It is noteworthy that on November 15 in Edinburgh (which is in the north of England) there was a great fire

Something caught fire there, but the cause of the fire was in the monstrous southwestern wind

"The wind at this time was extremely gentle and came from the south west so that the flames which issued from the windows were at first directed towards the front of the eastern tenement which was for some time considerably endangered But this house being separated gable and ….."

As a result, the fire extinguished the downpour with snow and hail, which saved the remains of the city.

I was interested in what could be the cause of such a hurricane south-westerly wind, huge storms on the coasts, at least of the entire northern hemisphere (it's a pity there is no information about the southern hemisphere, it seems that the colonies did not report much to the old world in terms of weather anomalies).

It is worth noting that there are numerous references to incredible winds and storms along the entire northern coast of Europe.

John Holmes in 1843 published the book "Eclectic Museum", where, in particular, in the chapter "November Meteors" he describes the following facts

On November 12-13, 1824, a bright meteor (Fireball) was seen in Mainz, after which there was an earthquake, which was recorded not only in Mainz, but also in Tuscany (which is in Italy). All this was accompanied by a thick fog.

Also an earthquake was recorded on the island of Meleda

In 1887, also in the USA, Daniel Kirkwood published a book, which included, among other things, a list of the most significant space accidents of the 19th century in the book Proceedings of the American Philosophical Society

On November 27, 1824, a moon-sized fiery meteor was observed in Prague. Moreover, only the 1824 meteor was noted with at least some dimensional comparison - it means there was a huge meteor.

In general, in the 19th century there was the science of meteorology - the science of observing meteors, meteorites and other things that fall from the sky. It was then that they began to talk about the weather, because almost stopped falling. And this is not surprising. Magically, from 1800 to 1850, huge meteors or small debris fell from the sky almost every day. Incredible atmospheric phenomena were taking place! What is worth the next mention:

"In 1822 on the 12 13th November phenomena were strikingly various were seen not only throughout Europe falling stars innumerable at Orenburg Russia bnt at Warsaw and Koln lightnings Odessa a meteor like the aurora and Lottich a flash from which unfolded a kind of curtain of liaht and then itself up again and glistened in the brightest colors of the rainbow On the day occurred one of the most eruptions of Etna On the 17th November"

I noted a lot about notes from the science of meteorology bskamalov

In general, in the first half of the 19th century, not only a huge number of meteorites fell and many weather anomalies, earthquakes, etc. occurred, but at the same time there were a number of major volcanic eruptions such as Etna and especially Tombora in 1815. The eruption of Tambora was comparable to what is now expected from a volcano in North America.

And then, somewhere after 1850, all this vanished as if by hand and humanity continued to live more calmly.

I do not post scans of numerous books with the registration of meteors, atmospheric phenomena and other / other things - believe me - there are just kilotons of information! There is a lot of information on the events of November 12-25, 1824. I don't have enough time to cover everything and make a calculation. But it's obvious to me that all these storms and stuff (in particular Peter) were caused by one incident. And this incident was in space, which I will summarize in the conclusion.

CONCLUSION.

I believe that the flood of 1824 in St. Petersburg was a particular of one general planetary catastrophe, which was caused by the passage of a huge body by the earth, maybe a planet or something similar to it. It necessarily had the power of attraction. And since it was a stretched earthly action, about 50 years - by cosmic standards, this is zilch - one instant. It was this flying planetoid that contained a cloud of many large and small debris around it, which was observed around the world in the period 1800-1850. Which caused a lot of destruction and changed the landscape of the planet, these include incredible lakes (the area after the bombing) east of the Urals (look at least in the Chelyabinsk region). The flight past the earth of the planetoid caused the incredible power of volcanic eruptions.

The peak of the passage of a huge body past the earth was in November 1824, when the atmosphere was disturbed by gravity, which caused catastrophic southwestern winds around the world, causing huge storms.

And what describes kadykchanskiy, suggesting that there was an atomic strike in 1812. I believe it was a coincidence for that war. One of those millions of asteroids, meteors, meteorites that ironed the earth just flew to Moscow.

So the earth may have escaped a cosmic catastrophe in 1824. And the flood in St. Petersburg is the least that could happen. We were lucky.
