Quake Watch 2009

Yer a funny one. I suppose all that info is helpful. I think I need to install a panic button and a big flashing light so I can be prepared for the monsterquakes. then hit it and run around in circles screaming.

Hmmm...

They must be working on the DUMB's again...

Yep, got the tsunami warning for this one when I got in this morning....well there was no tsunami but i get the fax anyway.

Banda sea is quite active. I used to feel all those quakes when i was living up in Darwin....some good shakes up there

Just to report, was confirmed at 7.1

Anyone else noticed the increased activity in the New Madrid fault area lately. It seems like usually there is maybe a quake a week in the area showing up but lately there seems to be a lot more. Hopefully it's just pressure being released gradually...

USGS Link

Living in the area, yeah; I've definitely noticed more little quakes than usual.
New Madrid and all the little faults around the area have loads of micro-quakes all the time. too small to bother putting on the list. We usually get a single 1-1.5 a week. Recently it's been 1's and 2's, several a day.
I can't feel them all the way in St. Louis, but I've been having periods of feeling ... tense - for lack of a better word. When I remember, I check the website and sure enough, there was a bit of movement.
I'm not worried at all though.

We're moving back into the Full Moon phase guys, keep your eyes peeled.
I also had a very odd dream of waking up and checking the PC, went to CNN's website and there was a major headline saying *three* 8.0 earthquakes hit--in the dream, I didn't see where.. but it was like 8.0, 8.3, and 8.1. Just was a freaky dream (hope that doesn't come true)

I didn't notice an increase of activity in the new madrid area.'
I will keep my eye up.
thanks.

if you are into the new madrid...read a fictional book by a guy named Walter Williams called THE RIFT.
It's fictional, but alot of inserts of witness account from the 1811 quakes, overlayed with the story of what would happen today if they got 'the big one'
the rift

Some eyewitness accounts and details on the 1811/1812 New Madrid quakes can also be found in this thread:

Whoa... a 5.3 off the coast of Seattle. From the data I am watching, I think we'll see a 7.0+ near the subduction zone near Washington. If you live in or near Washington or Seattle, be on alert for activity...

The Pacific plate's 'pressure' is now hitting this area.

Does it seem to ya'll that Cali is shaking a little more than normal. Looks like lots of small shakes the last couple of days and then the Oregon coast too.

Just had a 6.0 in the Azores at a depth of only 10km.

Just a heads up -
Today as we all know there was a 6.6 in Canada -
Now as result - southern ca is shaking up.
The last one was a 3.4 - which is higher than the last 3 -
Colorado, New Mexico and Oklahoma have also seen some recent activity.
Keep you purses, keys and shoes by your bed tonight.

I've been noticing the last week a big jump in cali alot above 3, and in some different places in US that i havent seen since i've downloaded equake, do you think the 6.6 in canada might be the beginning of something in california?
