Well...here we go. I hope this will take care of the pressure in my area for awhile.....I mentioned how the quakes were making their way around the ring....the circle is becoming more complete. I think something will give somewhere soon. The million dollar question is WHERE????

My bet is on the West Coast, somehwere between me (hour north of Seattle, hour south of the border) and The Mexico border. It will definately be larger than a 6.0, perhaps even bigger than 7.0

reply to post by westcoast


I am in full agreement with you! Yesterday I said I was hoping it would bypass the Washington Coast. I said that in hopes of shoeing it away from there - I guess it didn't work. You may want to take any glass off the counters and don't sit under anything that could fall on you!

Edit to add Seismo for the Canada Quake.

Fox Islands was a whole lot bumpier last year than this minor disturbance.

This is the cumulative for the last year.



Calm down folks

When the ring is complete the Pacific will drop by 500 metres. Nothing to worry about!

Seriously however, I don't think there is much to worry about here, even Vancouver is only slightly out of normal as there are a few quakes each year spread out at a few week intervals fairly evenly so I am guessing stress relief.

Here is the mags for the last year.



Edit to add the Vancouver cumulative for the last year in case anyone was getting worried! As you can see there is usually only the one event (excluding minor ones not recorded by USGS)



I think I would only be worrying if that started bumping off more than one medium one in the day.

And just to give you complete confidence remember that I will be saying nothing to worry about as YNP goes VEI 12!!

I can see that you got reply from Anmarie96 regarding this. But I have to add that by looking at maps available regarding fault lines in N.America, I notice that it seems like there are fault lines going from Alaska directly to or in "close" vicinity to Yellowstone.

A not so good map are to be found here

Well EMSC has changed its mind again about New Britain and there was just a 6.9 and a 7.2
www.emsc-csem.org...

As I said I took a screenshot at the time, here it is in case anyone reading this thinks I lost my marbles yesterday.

No conspiracy going on here, just confusion

PNG quake damage confined to traditional structures but could be extensive Posted at 03:43 on 20 July, 2010 UTC The disaster management office in Papua New Guinea says damage from earthquakes which struck New Britain Island is limited to semi-permanent structures, but could be quite widespread. Two tremors, the stronger measuring 7.3, occurred on Sunday night and were widely felt in West New Britain. Paul Kaliop, the director of the West New Britain disaster management office, says it’s impossible to tell yet what the damage is like in remote villages. “What we initially thought was just a couple of houses in a certain area is actually widespread, but it is quite sporadic. Because it is such a big area, although the damage is limited, that’s a lot of resources and time just moving around.” Paul Kaliop says officials are hoping to have the use of a helicopter in the coming days, to allow them to fully assess the damage.

On the Canada Quake. I have been checking out the past months history Here . It appears that there were many foreshock's to this quake during the past month. Let us all hope that this last one was the release of the stress that was building and not a larger foreshock!
