Yep, round two? We can do better than an 8....come on Earth. Shake it up!

Easy now! The earths shaking already.

But jokes aside, I think it looks like a precursor to me...the pacific rim is literally shaking as we speak..

Peace

Tsunami impact here www.gdacs.org...
should hit Easter Island in about 1hr 10 minutes

Closer to home..........

Tsunami waves of up to a metre are expected to hit the Chatham Islands, Coromandel Peninsula, Gisborne, Napier/Hastings, Christchurch North, Banks Peninsula and Mid to South Canterbury following a large earthquake off Chile.
The Ministry of Civil Defence & Emergency Management (MCDEM) said people in affected areas should stay out of the water, off beaches and shore areas, and not go sightseeing.

My bet is less than 1ft,

a reply to: crappiekat
it is possible
I'm getting conflicting reports between the List on GDACs and the RSS Feed
Totoralillo, Time (hh:mm): 00:13 Maximum Height: 4.127812 m (thats 13.542 feet)
Playa Ancha, Time (hh:mm): 00:16 Maximum Height: 5.725496 m (thats 18.784 feet)

Really getting unstable now

a reply to: dreamfox1

Where can we see that any links?

a reply to: muzzy
If the Tsunami RSS Feed is to be believed, I sorted the list into biggest first 44, down to 2 metres high
Tsunami Wave Heights; Playa Ancha [5.7m], Las Ramaditas [4.6m], El Romeral [4.3m], Totoralillo [4.1m], El Barco [4m], Quintay [4m], Caleta Horc=n [3.8m], El Pangue [3.8m], La Greda [3.8m], Montemar [3.8m], Mundo Nuevo [3.8m], Papudo [3.8m], Puchuncavf [3.8m], Alto del Puerto [3.6m], Cerro Colorado [3.6m], Laguna Verde [3.6m], Pichidangui [3.6m], Quilimarf [3.6m], Guaquen [3.5m], La Laguna [3.5m], La Laja [3.5m], Yeco [3.4m], Algarrobo [3.1m], Chigualoco [3.1m], El Quisco [3.1m], Los Vilos [3.1m], Las Terneras [3m], Re'aca Bajo [3m], Valparaiso [3m], Llolleo [2.6m], Longotoma [2.6m], Posada LilTn [2.6m], Rocas de Santo Domingo [2.6m], San Antonio [2.6m], Conchalf [2.5m], La Mostaza [2.5m], HuentelauquTn [2.4m], Cartagena [2.2m], Malvilla [2.2m], Quillaicillo [2.2m], Angostura [2.1m], Las Cruces [2.1m], Lo Abarca [2.1m], Maitencillo [2m]

3m high at Valpariso, holy cow that would cause some destruction eh, being a port city

I'll hold off posting that in my 6.5+ project, until I can figure out the source.
The main RSS feed says different, max 2.4m in Quillaicillo, Chile. webcritech.jrc.ec.europa.eu...

And now another 6.2 and 6.3 ....aftershocks?

A TIDE GAUGE off the shore of Coquimbo, a Chilean seaside city less than 100 miles from the epicenter of tonight’s 8.3 moment magnitude earthquake, has logged wave heights in excess of 14 feet. This comes about 90 minutes after the quake struck at 7:54pm local time.

gives you the ongoing updating list

that last one was a 6.6

there will be more 6's
this was a Major Quake

USGS have just changed the magnitude type to Mw
6.7
earthquake.usgs.gov...

first graph, this one using EMSC data
doesn't look too busy
are they downplaying this?
many events are way lower magnitudes than the other networks

WOW!!

Just wanted to post.

Gotta go check this out.

www.ndbc.noaa.gov...

We have 3 buoy's alerting.

And we have a tsumami Watch.
www.tsunami.gov...

told you...

These swarms all over the globe were way too unusual for my taste.

Chile seems to be really having a lot of after shocks...could they possibly be building to a larger quake again?

a reply to: Vasa Croe
Anything is possible, but an 8.4 is pretty hard to top, it may go on and another M7+ hit though
this was a huge earthquake, there wil be a lot of aftershocks, if fact there are probably hundreds more than is being shown, below M4.0

there was another 6.0Mw overnight at 13:32:26 17/09/2015 UTC
My plots of the earthquakes show a fault length of 240km


35cm tsunami at Chatham Islands, 30cm (1ft) higher than normal tides along the East Coast of NZ
The tsunami warning remains in place, with potential for further waves throughout the morning.

last years 8.2Mw was a bit different in the series rollout, with lots of foreshocks and lots of aftershocks

I pulled this from the 2014 thread on the M8.2, thanks to True American
Seismic gap has not been closed
scientists knew then that this recent 8.4 was likely to happen

Update on the SERIES
showing some lower magnitudes now
looks pretty "normal"
