Quake Watch 2010

Village? That's a city! It is over 7 miles across (as far as it is to the nearest town for me) and has an airport? Nice gliders. I used to be a glider pilot once.

This is a KMZ file for my local

I live three miles from there by road. There are 18 houses in the 'village', but actually that is at least two villages(spread over 1.5 miles)! Our little 'bit of a village' has 6 houses.

You would happen to know which particular place is seeing a particular increase?
Cheers

I find it odd that my homepage on comcast.net has an article about the earthquake in Greece but we have been having much bigger ones all over the place with no reports.

www.comcast.net...

5.7 is pretty decent and in a populated area but its not like we haven't seen that all year all over.

So greece is seeing an unusually high amount both frequency and mag?

WOW check THIS out. 686 epicenters located in less than 48 hours.

I also just posted some other info on my washington state thread. Wierd stuff going on.

Wow lots of activity going on there!

reply to post by westcoast

Mount St Helens, how is she at the moment? Am I right in believing its part of a few volcanoes there? Ring of fire too I think. Anyone? Could be the location of the next biggy volcanic also?
Sorry off topic but the chia and pakistan floods? Seems a lot of 'rainwater' not melt water? From a certain mountain range perhaps? Warming up?

Mount Saint Helens has been the most active earthquake-wise since the whole deep tremors began. (I think I talked about it on my washington link yesterday.) Here is her EQ list:

10/08/07 02:15:25 46.19N 122.18W 1.0 1.6 AA

Now she is typically the most active, but that is still a bit above normal for her. Helen's errupting again is ofcourse ALWAYS a concern, although I must say, that I am WAY more concerned about Rainier and Baker. They are both overdue (espeicially Rainier) and the LAHARS alone would wipe out potentially millions. They are both at about normal right now though....so that is VERY good.

Hood has been real active this year, I think it is connected with all of this. Hood is Just south of the ORegon border.

Edit to answer your other questions: Yes, they are all part of the same volcanic range, and considered part of the 'ring of fire'. If you look at a world map, it is obvious!! HERE

Not really, everything looks normal. If anything the numbers are down.

The Alpine Fault is still quiet (locked) . There was a 3.9 near Arthurs Pass on Friday, but the area hasn't been getting many. (the Alpine Fault is our San Andreas) A few quakes east west just north of Kaikoura yesterday, worth watching, could end up something happening near Hanmer Springs (or maybe not)

Offshore Wanganui and Matata are quiet also.

Yes very odd considering it was either a 5.3 (EMSC) or 5.6 (USGS) and IN THE SEA! Actually about 150+ kilometres from the Reuters report which is where most of the other papers got their information.

========================================

I gather my link for my local kmz did not work.

Try this one

I have tested it.

So Puterman, have you had a chance to take a look at those seismos I posted for the three sisters?

I have them up on GEE and they are looking pretty extreme. HT??? I know, I know, stop me now if I am wrong. (I have a bunch of info on the Washington state thread)

Take a look at THIS updated list. 697 epicenters in less than 48 hours!! Also, there now seems to be three distinct areas.

reply to post by westcoast


Sorry, had my head into something else for a day or two. Refresh my ageing memory - which 3 am I supposed to be looking at.

By the way B001 you posted a couple of pages back looks like cultural noise as it appear to be very similar each day. Here is today: B001.PB..EHZ.2010.235 (Monday) and yesterday (Sunday) B001.PB..EHZ.2010.234. I won't put up Saturday as it looks just like Sunday. Lo and behold on Friday we have the same pattern: B001.PB..EHZ.2010.232

Factory? Obviously something that is not working on Saturday and Sunday.

Edit: But can be on a Sunday it seems

Starts Friday and goes across Sat Sun Mon, down - across Tues Wed etc

Three Sisters, Oregon. Here is the Thread I started as it is not in Washington and there is just too much going on over on the westcoast to be tied into one lump thread

Earthquake Watch Until August 27th



very interesting as always - watch the whole thing!

What would be an average number of epicenters normally in 48 hours?

Has the baseline changed much in say the last 10 years?

The last 10?
