This 266th essay can't wait for a February 25 mea culpa I still hope to write.
Three acrostic/telestic words repeated in WD Gann's "The Tunnel Thru the Air" that I'd often pondered; "ENS,""Red" and "TWS." ENS for "Earthquake Notification Service," Red for "Red Cross" and TWS for "Tsunami Warning System." We all know Red Cross. ENS is a service associated with the U.S. Geological Service. And TWS represents the several initiatives to provide early warnings for tsunamis; perform a search on TWS and Wikipedia for the several such services.
WD Gann used those acrostic and telestic words in "The Tunnel Thru the Air" to persuasively triangulate the 23rd and 24th of February 2016 and predict a great earthquake and tsunami. But before we look at that triangulation, we need to establish the credibility of the words.
A word or two before the proof of credibility. There are perhaps 1.3M earthquakes per year. Thankfully, the vast majority are either very small or are so remote as to be inconsequential or not even noticed. Mr. Gann give us 20 instances of the word "ENS" with which there are 20 notable....not small...earthquakes. Another 20 instances of the word "Red" to denote 20 earthquakes. What is the probability of exactly 20 instances of both Red and ENS? Designed that way would be my conclusion. And then 17 instances of the word "TWS" to denote tsunamis. In total, 57 observations.
Now the method to establish the proof. Every time I found an instance of one of those three encoded words in TTTTA, I took note of the year in the right most column of the WD Gann Map of Time. Then I searched the Internet for that year and either "earthquake" or "tsunami" to see if there was, indeed, a credible event in that year. The results are below. For example, the first instance of "TWS" I found was on line 1674 of the MOT and associated with that line is the year 2007 in the far right. Here's that citation of "TWS:"
![]()
So, I search the Internet for "tsunami" and "2007" and I find the Sumatra earthquake and tsunami occurred on September 12, 2007.
Of course, you will realize Mr. Gann published TTTTA in 1927. There were some years since then when there simply wasn't a notable event. But I found an event for all 57 observations. The tsunamis were problematic as tsunamis seem less rigorously followed than earthquakes; but I found all 17. He didn't provide an "ENS,""Red," or a "TWS" for which a significant event did not occur. 57 out of 57.
ENS. There are exactly 20 instances of "ENS" spelled as a telestic word (none are acrostic) found in TTTTA. All of those instances have associated with them a notable event:

Red. There are exactly 20 instances of "Red" spelled as a telestic word (none are acrostic) found in TTTTA. Again, all instances are associated with a notable event:

Ponder the narrative that appears in connection with that last observation on line 13383 above. I'll provide the exact narrative for context:
"....it is God's plan to teach man a lesson..." It's the thesis of Jonathan Cahn's "The Harbinger" and the prophecy of Isaiah 9:10; judgement and divine anger. Not until man has learned its lesson will the tribulation end. In addition to the February 2016 event that is anticipated, there are three later dates of great concern. But that's a digression. Back to February 2016 and the last of the three warning messages; "TWS."
TWS. 17 instances of the less frequent tsunami events:

Mr. Gann gives us 20 instances of both"ENS" and "Red" to show there was intent. Mathematic equivalence beyond coincidence. An interesting exercise would be to combine those 40 observations with the events found in the movie "Knowing" (see the essay HERE) that Mr. Gann apparently anticipated and encoded in TTTTA and then compare that combined list to the Wikipedia list of the greatest earthquakes of the last 100 years (at least, back to 1932). I expect you'll find a very high correspondence.
But counting earthquakes and tsunamis is not the point of this exercise. All the work above establishes the validity of the three words; "ENS,""Red" and "TWS." So, we accept he could foresee the future by whatever means. For what purpose?
To warn us of the February 2016 event of which I have been speculating for several months. I have not had evidence of Mr. Gann's clear intention and specific date of the earthquake and tsunami until I performed the above work. Until now.
The dates I have been watching for an earthquake are February 21-24, 2016. I can now narrow that to February 23 or 24 based on the above work and the below analysis. Using our knowledge of the three words, look at the relevant Map of Time lines:
![]()
The critical dates, February 23 and 24, are highlighted in yellow and were first considered because on the left side of the MOT we find the mirrored date of the Marlboro, NZ earthquake on 10/17/1848. We expect a similar event occurring on the left side of the MOT to occur on the right side.
February 23 and 24 are confirmed by all the work that has been done in this essay. "TWS" is highlighted in green above suggesting the event will spawn a tsunami. "Red" is highlighted in red suggesting an earthquake. And "ENS" is highlight in blue suggesting, again, an earthquake. All three appearing near and surrounding the highlighted and long considered dates of February 23 and 24.
But, while the letters are in close proximity, they are either inverted from the top down order as with "Red" and "TWS" or scrambled as in "ENS." When you think about it, could Mr. Gann have proven the integrity of the three words if he provided those arrangements of letters associated with an event that has not occurred? I'd be suspicious. The proof and the prediction cannot be commingled; they need to have a different arrangement.
Now, the above lines span from line 52 to 69. How do we confine the prediction to exactly line 59? The last letter of the word "ENS" appears on line 52 and there are 7 lines from 52 to 59 (59-52=7). The last letter of the word "Red" or "d" appears on line 66 and there are 7 lines from 59 to 66 (66-59=7). Its the "Tao device," a favored mathematic tool of Mr. Gann to prove his intent.
All the attention goes to line 59 and the associated dates; February 23 and 24, 2016. I conclude Mr. Gann is warning us that an earthquake attended by a tsunami will occur on one or both (pre shocks/aftershocks) of those days.
And it will not be just another event. In the flesh color you see the word "Ten," an acrostic that I find meaningfully placed in other areas of TTTTA but I have not explained for lack of time and space. The intensity scale denoted in Roman numbers has X as the next to the largest of any earthquake studied in this exercise spanning 84 years of earthquakes. If we are measuring according the moment of magnitude measurement, the largest United States earthquake in history would be the Great Lituya Bay earthquake and "megatsunami of 1958." The related earthquake measured at 7.8 M with an intensity of XI. The "megatsunami" was 1700 feet high based upon destruction of vegetation on affected shoreline cliffs.
The Lituya Bay event occurred in a sparsely populated area of Alaska. By comparison, the 1906 San Francisco earthquake was exactly the same intensity; 7.8 M with intensity of XI. In 1906, San Francisco was far more densely populated than Lituya Bay in 1958. Well, what do those dynamics look like today?
All of the above does not consider the breadth of the event that might occur. When we're talking about the 1906 San Francisco earthquake we're limited to the San Andreas fault complex; southern California. The far bigger elephant in the room is the Cascadia subduction that stretches from about Cape Mendocino up the coast well into Canada and including both Washington and Oregon. That's the really big picture. On January 26, 1700, the last occurrence of a Cascadia subduction event, vast portions of the then existing coast dropped by 5 to 8 feet depending on the experts you read. Where the San Andreas fault has a potential to create an 8.2 M earthquake, the Cascadia subduction's potential is greater and extends further. Using a "straight line" method of elementary accounting and estimation, the event should occur every 233 or so years. Such an event, by naive statistics, is now 83 years overdue.
And Mr. Gann saw this, in my opinion. Already developed is his symbolic "Ring In Fire" that has been previously identified. That essay gives us the following map of the battle lines as found in the narrative of TTTTA and developed in the link above:

Just follow the western most vectors from Brownsville Texas, to San Diego, to Portland and Seattle. That's what Mr. Gann may have given us on page 279 encoded as "battle lines."

Tsunami's only occur with the greatest of earthquakes and three would indicate immense destruction.

Very big.
Consider the spirit of Marie Stanton's letter to Robert Gordon, "AHYM" perhaps?
And if you've tested and believe the miracles that Mr. Gann provided and as developed, painfully, imperfectly, in these many essays, be forewarned. And once forearmed consider your further responsibility explained on page 83:
That's WD Gann speaking, not me.

Note added 2/15/2016. Perhaps the message, "WD Gann predicts the use of WMD in the form of 3 tsunamis on California?" The color coded acrostic/telestic messages should be self explanatory:
