Quake Watch 2010

reply to post by BO XIAN

No I haven't heard of such a thing (more land mass)

Also not sure which volcano you mean, the only one on a "point" is Mt. Taranaki (Mt. Egmont) and thats on the west coast of the North Island.
Perhaps you could use the map I'm about to link to on the the next post and point out where you mean.

Mogi

We discussed this a short while back. Perhaps we should have a seperate topic on it, but I'm hesitant as the last new topic I put on never really got off the ground and we continue to discuss that topic here anyway ( magnitude types)

So heres the donut
Mogi Donut Map
This is data for Cook Strait where I live, for the last week of July.
For all intents and purposes it looks like a Mogi, but unfortunately the 3 grey icons/events (Mag 3's) all came on during the same day, although two of them completed the donut, the centre one (3.121ML) just a few hundred yards west of Johnsonville village came on before the other 3's and ruined it.



I'm surprised that Johnsonville quake wasn't reported as being felt, its right on the edge of the urban area. The Ohariu Fault runs along the valley to the NW and the Wellington Fault runs along the western edge of the harbor.
28km deep, not much!

Ya beat me to it! I was just wondering how common it was for Louisiana to have an earthquake in that area. Is that the New Madrid fault?

Just saw that one, That is very strange. I have not noticed one there before at all. I find that odd, but with all these earthquakes occuring in many different locations, I guess you could say earth is adjusting itself.

I couldn't find an historical seismic event map for the area and despite watching the USGS lists a lot I don't remember seeing this area too often.

I've since found one and it really doesn't appear to see too much quake action.

The last earthquake I could find happened Dec. 20, 2005 and I haven't been able to find anything about the mag. but I will keep looking. It is unusual but it does happen.

According to the USGS (quoted in article/leaflet linked to below) there were 43 "felt" quakes in Louisiana between 1843 and 1994. Interesting read: www.lgs.lsu.edu...

I can't find the thread now, but I'm sure there was one running a while back connecting "sand blows" and Louisana quakes and drilling in nearby Texas...

Thank you, I did enjoy reading that. You guys are really getting me into earthquake watching and I have learned alot. Keep up the good work. (volcano's too) lol

I think it MAY be Taupo. Is that a volcano?

It's been maybe 5-8 years since I came across that prophecy. I'm not certain. Sorry.

The individuals concerned--there were a few--"saw" a massive eruption and great loss of life.

I think one of the individuals was a Marori sp? And a couple of others were caucasian Christians. The Maori may have been a Christian, too.

I'll check Stan Deyo's site. He may have something on it. There is a faint memory trace trying to connect the two.

Thx thx.

We missed this yesterday - This one is right on the San Andreas Fault line.

I think we should keep the MOGI discussion here just for the time being. That set is not a MOGI because they are supposed to be over decades - as you yourself said how can anyone have an attention span over decades.

If it really is over decades then historical data should prove it far better than waiting 20/30 years - I for one will probably be bored with it by then!! (If I am not enjoying the quakes from below ground level by then.)

You have to wonder with all the data available that they have not done that,but I suppose that would mean they could not get funds to investigate.

I still think it is a funding scam!

USGS replied about the 2 x 8+ in 2010

This was an issue we knew about and has already been corrected.

They received my mail July 25, 2010 8:54:04 AM MDT and responded Tue 27/07/2010 17:15 UDT+1

That is what I call a "British Telecom" fix. You ring BT and report a fault, they ring you back a few hours later and say they could not find a fault, and lo and behold it is fixed. Mmm!

Yeah could be, that Professor Mogi must have already been on the payroll, perhaps looking for some project to see him to retirement.
You would need a pretty powerful hard drive to store and load every earthquake for a decade, unless you just looked a some small area, then you might miss a Mogi just a few hundred km away.
