I got a bad feeling about this one.

When I saw the first earthquake, I saw a very large red square. After that it was much smaller.

I think there was an earthquake of magnitude 9, and those are the aftershocks.

But we wait for it.

If it was not a 9-scale earthquake, ... what is going on down there then on?

Did any of you seen anything like this before?

What do you think about this you guys? I started a thread on it after the first one, because of the depth. Isn't it quite unusuall to have this many large quakes at this depth? I don't remember ever seeing something like this in the 10+ years that I have been monitoring it.

I agree that there either was originally something bigger or else this is building to an even bigger event. Very odd.

Very disturbing, to say the least..

Will there be more, bigger?

I'm no expert, but I would think that if strong quakes occurred at these depths, then a chasm may open up and any subsequent quakes nearer to the surface would only increase in intensity.

wow YS looks crazy.!

For a brief moment was here: a 6.8 earthquake in www.emsc-csem.org... KYRGYZSTAN seen. Then it was gone.

What happens here?

WOW - Left the computer for an hour after waiting for 2 days - on dial up - what do we have for ocean watches

USGS says the EQs were too deep to cause tsunami. They were barely felt on the surface....this is second hand information, but trustworthy nonetheless.

Hawaii
Screw Hawaii, what about Australia and New Zealand, we're closer, and they are on MY coast side too.


No sweat, the Civil Defence here said "too deep, too far, relax"

BTW Geofon are way faster putting up the aftershocks

FWIW The Russians are only giving them a high of 7.0 max. each

I was going to post earlier - the quakes were rocking around CA and area again today - it appears this is a pattern. I don't know about you folks - I'm on pins and needles - have been all day. I don't think we are done - and the depth is of concern - my thinking something that large x'3 is going to have some major effect as it ripples up toward the earth's surface - Thinking this is part of a trigger from the other day's New Guinea's quakes.

Could be, that came to my mind also.

Am I the only one that find this deeply disturbing (no pun intended)?

Deepfocus earthquakes isn't all that common, and these clusters of M7+ earthquakes is equally uncommon. I would say that this could be the beginning of some serious problems. If anyone happens to have followed the seismic activity at USGS maps the last week, then perhaps you (as I did) have seen an uptick in seismicity?

My biggest fear is that something unseen in modern times might come out of this (like YS erupting). what do you all think about this?

reply to post by rasalhague


Wow, just logged in to see all this... yes, very interesting. Incredible depths and I don't think I've seen a cluster of such high mag quakes before in such quick succession.

Will be keeping eyes peeled ....

reply to post by rasalhague


No, you are not the only one - we are now following it on westcoast's thread Here because of the debth - -

reply to post by Anmarie96


I agree with you (yet again). I am keeping my eyes on the ring of fire. We have seen the first series of jabs...waiting for the return punch!!!
