Quake Watch 2016

If you are following the Hope Fault 7.8 aftershocks updates (daily) you might have to refresh your browser once the page is open to get the map to show the icons. The number of events is approaching 10,000 and the map is struggling to cope. The Google Earth gadget can't do it either.
Might depend on your service providers speed for this, not sure, just saying what I'n getting myself

I couldn't tell you. does it have anything to do with that energy space wave i keep on hearing about?

a reply to: sled735

Ask Dutch. He'll explain it to ya.

I don't know. That's why I'm asking the "experts" here.

I don't know who Dutch is.

I didn't watch the video except for a quick scan over it, as I have no sound.
It looks like this "Dutch" is the one who made the video.
Go on u-tube where the vid is stored and get into the comments below it, you can ask him directly, maybe he will respond.
some of those u-tube comments are way worse that what happens on some topics here on ATS.

Dutchsinse tends to be a fearmonger. Worse than some of our resident fearmongers.

I do pop in over at his 24hr earthquake channel on occasion, but yea, the comments are really something.

a reply to: crappiekatI just had a read through the comments myself
geez these things bring out the nutters don't they

I like the explanation by treflippunk, about 4 "more" clicks in, who copied an explanation by Suspicious0bserver that the MIMIC program that created this data has a programming error in it

Many of us (me included) consider Dutch on about the same level as Sorcha Faal. He feeds the gullible and thanks to a piss poor education system, is able to garner quite a few of the aforementioned easily duped as followers and promoters of his garbage.

I take the word and observations of ATS' resident quaketards much more seriously than anyone else on the net in regards to seismic activity; up to an including many of the professionals in the field. I have learned so much from them here on these boards and am very grateful for the time they put forth.

Thanks to government budgets, if anything screwy were to happen at Yellowstone over a weekend, the signals might not get noticed for a bit by the USGS. But I know for a fact that there are a couple of ATS posters who watch that place like a hawk and it is entirely possible that they would be well ahead of the game in announcing said screwiness here on the boards versus having to wait for official channels.

a reply to: jadedANDcynical

I so agree with you.

I have especially learned a lot from Puterman. He is very patient. And his QVC site has alot of useful information.

And Muzzy. Jeez, I'm surprised he has any hair left on his head with all the frustration he has posting his charts. But he keeps on going. Thank you Muzzy.

There are so many examples here at ATS, of Knowledgeable members here posting activity that USGS doesn't even report.

Sometimes, I feel like I'm playing "Where's Waldo". LOL!!

a reply to: muzzy

There are some I have read, that really do pay attention and know what they are talking about.

But yea. Dutch, I don't really bother with his warnings.

I do pay attention to SO. I watch his daily video almost everyday.

Okay, thanks for the replies. My anxiety level has lowered now.

I don't know much about this topic, so that's why I always turn to the knowledgeable members in this thread when I have a question.

Thanks for being there for us.

a reply to: crappiekat

Glad to be of use.
Yes I get very frustrated with the system providers when they trash somthing that is of use for no valid reason, continuity is the key element when building archives, if the system of recording keeps changing every couple of years then it really is a waste of time.
Sorry if I go on too much about this aspect of quake watching.
It is coming up to 10 years now that I have been collecting eq data, but it's a bit of a mess having to come up with new mapping systems all the time.
I think I can tell the difference to within 0.2 magnitudes now too, we have had plenty of live earthquakes over the last 10 years.

a reply to: jadedANDcynical

I just had a look at your thread
www.abovetopsecret.com...
so now ATS is doing it? (censorship)
Not good

a reply to: muzzy

It's not my thread, but it does concern me. I include it in my signature because of the important information now lost.

The missing thread in question was closed at the same time as the original "What's going on at Yellowstone," thread, but for reasons unknown is no longer available. We were told that it would be archived and always available, however something happened and we have not been told what that something might have been.

It is also the top thread ever on ATS and is now lost to the digital abyss, (seemingly) never to be found again. There was an enormous amount of data in the missing thread that can probably not be found anywhere else on the web. Links and excerpts of articles that are no longer available, commentary by members who had professional credentials, and names/dates of when certain occurrences happened.

All gone.

a reply to: jadedANDcynical
thanks for bringing it up though.
Damn what a bummer. Sucks that the moderators didn't put their hands up and
I only got about 100 pages into the original "whatsgoingon..." topic a few years back, too much info to absorb in one go.
I didn't realize it and Part 1 were deleted until today.
however it did make me want to follow Yellowstone more closely.
I still go look at "isthisthingon" maybe once or twice a week
www.isthisthingon.org...

I have noticed some Threads get shut down after a while, like a few of the Quake Watch ones did, the Mods obviously don't understand that following earthquakes for the year doesn't stop on December the 31st.
But what can we do, just thank them for the opportunity to have somehwere to post our views and thoughts I guess.

So to the people who run ATS, thanks for being here.

And for gods sake buy that bald guy in the blue teeshirt a new one for Xmas, preferably a different colour.
I have no idea who he is or what he is ranting about, as I have no sound on my laptop, and the vid only shows when I am logged out.

a reply to: jadedANDcynical

So.....

SO never responded.

That is odd. He is usually pretty honest.

Was it stolen for someone to write a book?

Or is it, someone wanted to get rid of the information.

AHhhhhhhh... Now I want to know.

Hadn't downloaded any data for Japan for 10 days, nothing major happened, but there were 9807 events and 59,061.229 TTNT released (Mariana's 6.3 the big one)


Going through the 10 days day by day creating the maps this morning I though geez that's a lot of events, there were 3 or 4 days that the numbers went over the 1000 count.
It can be hard to see where they are on the maps unless you zoom in a bit and scroll around
So to this end I did a bit of skooling on Excel formulas and have created a template that will count the number of quakes in each Prefecture, that way at least there is a clue as to where the action is without looking at the map.

I started just with the totals formula, then figured out how to break those down into magnitudes as well.

I did one day 14thDec JST the result is a Table, down below the map. Just getting blogger to accept tables was a mission too.

Ironic that I spend so much time making earthquake maps, yet my first quake web site of choice every time I log in to the web is GFZ (Geofon) who only have Tables.
