Quake Watch 2010

reply to post by muzzy

Heres another good site to get a quick overview on the Global events, gives USGS, Geofon and EMSC all on one page. Live too, often quakes appear here before USGS even gets it on their list, the guy gets a feed from them. www.oe-files.de...

Ohh, I like... thanks!

Another toy to keep me from constructive business

And, For today's Earthquake Fact from the USGS

Today’s Earthquake Fact
Be Prepared for an Earthquake: Hold earthquake drills with your family. Locate safe spots in each room - under a sturdy table or against an inside wall. Identify danger zones in each room - near windows where glass can shatter, or near bookcases or furniture that can fall over.

So it's not haarp causing the quakes

It's the dreaded earthquake drill, can't imagine the size of the drill head on that thing

No not HAARP, I think it's the sun itself..

Watch some other videos from this guy too, this is the latest one

I did not edit my prior post as to make this stand out!

It appears our thread here has been attached by a particular scary poster Here . Just for refence, he was the one who "could predict earthquakes" - wonder why he never joined in here to teach us.

reply to post by Anmarie96


I thought he was the one who said he could predict quakes.. strange...
speaking of predictions did ya see the youtube vid I posted above? I believe that more than I believe that russky scientist.

reply to post by berkeleygal


No, I am on the dreaded dial up now and can not watch it :-( - it would take an hour to load and that's if my computer doesn't freeze. Did you notice the last few quakes I posted was like - quiet all day then 3 all over the place right in a row.

reply to post by Anmarie96


I did notice those 3 quakes.

SF Bay Area got a few tiny quakes today. I am trying to get motivated to pack up all my stuff and make my household quake proof. I guess a little shaker would motivate me.

At least several people were missing after a glacier broke off and plunged into a lake in western peru on Sunday, causing a 23-meter (75-foot) tsunami that devastated a nearby town, authorities said on Monday.

The incident happened at a lake in the Andes near the town of Carhuaz. It said at least five people remained missing and that two injured had been taken to a local hospital. According to the Civil Defense, at least 50 houses were destroyed when the tsunami struck. Others had been damaged by the wave, which flooded the area and destroyed the lake’s levees. A water processing plant also was destroyed.

Damaging tsunamis are rare, and are most known to be caused by earthquakes. However, tsunamis can also be generated by other events such as volcanic eruptions and landslides.

I just found this, not EQ related but interesting nonetheless..

Situation Update No. 2 On 13.04.2010 at 17:55 GMT+2 Authorities have declared a state of emergency in the province of Carhuaz in Peru’s Ancash region after part of a glacier broke off into a lake creating a massive wave that flooded nearby towns.

“The towns that are in a lot of danger are Hualcán and Pariacaca, which have been blocked off,” the president of Ancash, César Álvarez, told RPP radio station. Álvarez added that the residents are being taken to other areas for their safety.

Álvarez said he has requested a helicopter from Interior Minister Octavio Salazar in order to access areas affected by the flooding and determine the damage. Peru’s Civil Defense is also working on transporting drinking water to Carhuaz from the capital of Ancash, Huaraz. According to daily El Comercio, the ice block broke off the Hualcán glacier and crashed into Lake 513.

The glacier reportedly measured approximately 500 meters long by 200 meters wide and created a 23 meter wave that flooded the towns of Hualcán, Pariacaca, Acopampa and Carhuaz and damaged a potable water plant. Six people were originally reported missing, however five were later located — three unharmed and two with minor injuries, according to daily La Republica.

Peru is home to some 70 percent of Earth’s tropical glaciers. The country’s glaciers, which feed hydroelectric plants and provide drinking water to Lima, the world’s second largest desert city after Cairo, Egypt, are in the process of accelerated meltdown due to global warming. According to Peru’s National Resources Institute, or Inrena, the Andes Mountains have lost at least 22 percent of their glacier area since 1970.

Situation Update No. 1 On 13.04.2010 at 10:49 GMT+2 A huge glacier has broken off and plunged into a lake in Peru sparking a 23-metre high tsunami wave that destroyed a nearby town. The massive chunk of ice - around the size of four football pitches - tumbled into the '513 lake' in the Andes near Carhuaz, around 200 miles north of Lima.

According to the Indeci civil defence institute, 50 homes have been destroyed. A water processing plant serving 60,000 local residents was also devastated when the wave struck on Sunday. Initially, six people were reported missing, feared dead under the debris - but local governor Cesar Alvarez has said five of those have been found alive.

Authorities evacuated mountain valleys, fearing more ice breakages after the tsunami - which are most commonly caused by earthquakes. Blaming climate change, Mr Alvarez said: "Because of global warming the glaciers are going to detach and fall on these overflowing lakes. This is what happened."

Investigators have said the ice block from the Hualcan glacier measured 500m by 200m. Patricio Vaderrama, a Peruvian glacier expert, said: "The tsunami wave breached the lake's levees, which are 23m high - meaning the wave was 23m high." Peru is home to 70 per cent of the world's tropical icefields.

Excellent link muzzy!
I have friends in Paupau, they seem so hohum about quakes. I'd freak! But then, I don't mind the hurricanes.

berkleygirl - I like the new avatar! and same to moorfnz...don't get too shaken up down there! Maybe have a moorfshake.
