Foreshock of a massive earthquake?

I doubt it, that area looks like that every day, sometimes more so.
It has about the same comparative activity as New Zealand on a daily basis.

I love the new EMSC site, the maps they are making now are top class
EMSC Aegean Map

There are even more quakes than what EMSC shows, you have to look at the Greece and Turkey sites though.

Yes, the depth of the epicentres is between 10 and 40km, which means that it is "only" increased seismic activity.

Would they themselves are all in depth, it would be "mysterious".

I have had dreams about earthquakes, but not many. I have written it down.

They were more than just dreams, they were a little more real. (I do not know exactly what you think of dreams, but I also think dreams are a little bit "supernatural")

The following link shows the map of my earthquakedreams.
(In each of the dreams I saw the earthquake on the USGS map, it was in a dream a so-called "Big Hazards Program")

the red boxes on the map mean that those dreams have been fulfilled.

I also feel that happened under my feet a bit, there might soon be a medium earthquake in Austria?

nice greetings from rainy Austria

Yikes Austria, those are some serious quakes you have in your dreams - Let us hope your dreams in this matter do not come true any time soon!!!!

Just a quick question - I have been watching the 'live' ROV video feed (Skandi ROV1) on the BP Deepwater response website. It appears to currently show a high level of rapid oscillation on the BOP/shaft, like a bridge suffering that destructive oscillation problem?

I just wanted to double-check whether anyone here has any info re: seismic activity in that vicinity that may back up bumping from the well/sea-floor at this time [i.e. up to the minute]?

No seismic activity in the Gulf itself. One or minor bumps in mid Oklahoma and Arkansas but that is about the closest that I can see and they are all small and would not have any effect in the Gulf.

There are some tremendous pressures involved down there so what you are probably seeing is turbulence caused by the gusher.

THE SOUTH WILL RISE AGAIN!

Thanks for that.

I agree, could just be due to the forces associated to the flow/expulsion, could also be ocean currents vs compromised vertical structure...also some (as yet unconfirmed) chatter now that the first relief well may have suffered a 'blow-out', which I suspect may have been able to have some effect?

I know a lot of people are keen to keep a close eye on any linked activity to the known faults nearest/linked to the site, particularly if the relief wells fail, the main well/surrounding rock become increasingly eroded/attacked by the ejection of fluids/gases...or the methane hydrates in/on the surrounding seabed become sufficiently heated/agitated by the event to change their status, also that sometimes discussed nuke idea.

Plenty of possible big bumps near those faults, I wonder whether anything will get picked up?

Earthquake felt here in San Diego California yeeaahhh

holy crap

i had my computer off for an hour... just turned it on, booted up, checked USGS as always and
holy crap

you all ok down there?

its chillin down here man, ridin the earth surf.

reply to post by berkeleygal

you all ok down there?

5.9, that aint nothin for us down here

Revised to 5.4....

... Hope everyone is ok... have had friends in Cali say that it was quite a ride..

earthquake.usgs.gov...

Assume this is the ongoing aftershocks of the 7.1 - that area of Cali has been very active ever since with little sign of slowing...
