Quake Watch 2008

There has been a LOT of "weird" cloud formations lately and especially over the somersett area (where all quakes are originating)..
Definitly no links to clouds and quakes, but with almost 3 months of constant shaking (very unlike ANY earthquakes I have felt in 3 states), we are keeping our eyes on anything that might help give clues as to what is happening.... A lot of people are beleiveing that it has to be volcanic, magma, geothermal..... etc, ther are no known active faults yet we have had a lot of movemnt, and thousands of quakes..
If you compare a volcanic activity map for Nevada, and earthquake map for the state, you will see a lot of same area affected...

There has to be a reason nobody is officially saying anything about this...
Lately a lot of the shakes have felt verticle, and sometimes like you get a feeling of falling slightly.

Boil a pot of water with a lid on it, and when the steam starts to move the lid up and around, this is kinda what it feels like.... not a side to side or front to back movement..
If steam is pushing up and causing ground to move, ther would be no way to know it, since the steam will disapate as it moves through any openings it finds....

You slackers... just got back from drinking and poker and here's a few...

Magnitude 5.7 SOUTHERN SUMATRA, INDONESIA
Tuesday, May 20, 2008 at 17:08:00 UTC
Location 3.174°S, 101.475°E
Depth 47.4 km (29.5 miles)

Magnitude 5.2 LAKE BAYKAL REGION, RUSSIA
Tuesday, May 20, 2008 at 20:42:44 UTC
Location 53.320°N, 108.362°E

May 21, 2008 at 02:45:52 UTC
Location 10.034°S, 150.907°E
Depth 35 km (21.7 miles)

These appear to run in a clockwise circle -- but 'missing' the U.S. edge with anything significant -- does make one a little concerned...



And it's a pretty low number, as of late, for the quake count on this map.

How is everyone holding up over there? I hope well still. a Little less activity is always nice to see every now and then, However i keep[ in the back of my mind the saying "The calm before the storm". Moving on, Be safe over there. What the latest news stuff going on in the Nevada area? Could you please link some of the strange pictures being seen, I'm interested in them.

Magnitude 4.1 NORTHERN YUKON TERRITORY, CANADA
Friday, May 23, 2008 at 11:42:12 UTC
Location 65.415°N, 133.489°W
Depth 12.1 km (7.5 miles)

And to note: Quake count on the World map for the past week is 206. So, in regards to what was brought up earlier about the "birthing pains"... I anticipated the count to go up, per the recent, albeit short, pattern. Instead, it has drastically decreased. This is about the lowest count I've seen since starting to post in this thread (1.5 - 2 months).

Edit to add on...

How many weeks has it been now from the first Quake You would think it would have stoped by now

Dang Rabbit, are they getting stronger in China? I haven't followed it for a couple of days now, but reading just yesterday and today's posted quakes I would have to say the 'aftershocks' are getting more power to them! And how long does that have to continue before they are no longer considered aftershocks, but a new event in themself? I have got to go read up a little on this.

Earthquake List for Map of Asia Region

6.0 2008/05/25 08:21:49 32.587 105.424 10.0 SICHUAN-GANSU BORDER REGION, CHINA
4.9 2008/05/25 09:34:09 33.076 104.965 10.0 GANSU, CHINA
4.6 2008/05/26 00:39:47 30.849 103.342 10.0 EASTERN SICHUAN, CHINA

I see they settled on it being a 6.0 -- I think I'd just call this it's own event and not an 'aftershock.' I mean, it's been two weeks since the 7.9...

But it was nearly an 8, so after two weeks it was probably still an aftershock. A long time after yes, but considering it was so big, who knows.
edit not paying attention that was already done.
