Just saying. Is all. Muzzy was great and showed how the Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming earthquakes are in a obvious trend and are most likely connected. These Oregon earthquakes don't seem to be regular tectonic swarms. This series is long lived.

that's all folks

Here's an interesting one.

the hell?

and look at that Puerto rico swarm within the last 24 hours:

Northern Mid Atlantic Ridge is sure bumping around! It seems to precede significant shifts sometimes, or so I've thought I've seen that, particularly in the Pacific Rim...which I know...seems crazy.

a reply to: Eagleyedobserver

Yea, thing's are pretty active.

A little while ago I popped on USGS to check Cali. The West coast seemed lit up like a christmas tree. It seems to have quieted down.

Was thinking about the Nepal and the Chile quakes over the weekend and it struck me that they seemed to be very looooong quakes - i read, for example, that the Chile quake was over 3 minutes long.

Can anyone correct here or is that right? It just struck me that they seem to have been inordinately long quakes, even if not the strongest (although still very strong). And if so, what could this mean? Would longer duration quakes indicate changes deep within the crust?

Re reading this, i seem it may appear alarmist! It certainly isn't intended to be, more curious. However, as the old grey matter can't seem to think of another way to phrase it today, that will have to do.

I came across this article today and thought it might interest some of you.

Hope everyone has a good day.

Just wanted to add. I like Ben Davidson. As far as I know he has no evil agenda. Just to get information out to people and educate

Thanks for the link CrappieKat.

This is encouraging news.

In early 2014, Dr. Christopher Holloman’s team of researchers at The Ohio State University Statistical Consulting Service was able to construct a model that exhibited very strong agreement between solar magnetism patterns and the occurrence of large earthquakes. Dr. Holloman warned that formal testing of the model can only be performed by examining its performance over the next few years, but that the agreement was sufficient to suggest that a relationship likely exists between solar polar fields, or magnetic fields associated with the north and south poles of the sun, and large earthquakes.

Perhaps this can lead to fairly accurate predictions of earthquakes before they happen, leading to the saving of lives. It sounds like they are being careful with their studies as well.

“After looking at the complete data set, it is not difficult for anyone to see that there is a connection. To be sure we did not fool ourselves, we back up this finding using verifiable statistical analysis.”

I think as time goes on we will have a prediction program that will be able to save lives.

But I still think that public education about geographical area's that are prone to earthquakes is very important.

I personally wouldn't live in the PNW for all the money in the world.

Update on Chile (been a couple of days)

The aftershock series seems to have split into two areas, Illapel (north) and Los Vilos (center), more so since day 5, seems to be related to the locations of the mag 6 aftershocks, each of which are having their own local concentrated series of aftershocks, especially the ones on/under land.

26/09/2015, 51 event swarm on the Median Tectonic Line, near Shikokuchuo, NE EHIME PREF and TOKUSHIMA PREF, Japan
all micro (~M1.0), nothing too significant itself regarding energy released, but NIED are running a project locating daily distribution of deep low-frequency tremors on the MTL, so it must be important. This is same MTL the Bungo Channel Swarm was on a week or so ago. Runs on for another 2 days, but I haven't got time right now to include those.

There were warnings in July...
Antillean Media Group

BRIDGETOWN, Barbados, July 23, 2015 (AMG) — The Seismic Research Centre (SRC) of the University of the West Indies (UWI) has issued an orange alert for the underwater volcano Kick’em Jenny, after strong and sustained signals were recorded in the early hours of this morning, suggesting than an eruption could occur with less than 24-hours notice.

Instruments monitoring the volcano, located 8km north of Grenada (12.3000° N, 61.6400° W), recorded strong, continuous activity between 1:25 a.m. and 3.a.m this morning.

Nothing big, I know....

However I want to note the New Madrid seems more active lately. Maybe Im just paranoid. lol

seems to be spreading, 121 events now, M-0.4 to M0.8


Interesting pattern time wise


I wondered if Tides had anything to do with it?
Doesn't seem to match
Graph is in JST BTW
HIGH TIDE in Kawanoe is at 2:16 PM JST (14:16)
LOW TIDE in Kawanoe is at 8:21 PM JST (20:21)

a reply to: muzzy

I'm watching. Does the tide have to actually co-inside.

I've had a long day. please excuse my dry sense of Humor.

It's still an effect right.

a reply to: crappiekat
I dunno, just seemed worth looking at. I recall the PNW micro tremors were partly explained by tides.
Been a hard WEEK for me, tired as myself.
