Cheers for that

I'm sticking to the forecasting formula I have had for years, its when there is nothing happening at all that you should get nervous.

Absolutely. If it's movin' and shakin' it's not breakin'

I am going to take a look at some other Cali quakes to see if this is a pattern.

Great research - thanks, saving this one!

THERE WERE TWO QUAKES!

MAP 6.9 2010/10/21 17:53:15 24.843 -109.171 10.0 GULF OF CALIFORNIA
MAP 6.7 2010/10/21 17:53:14 24.754 -109.241 9.4 GULF OF CALIFORNIA

A second 6.7 in same area:


Magnitude 6.7
Date-Time

* Thursday, October 21, 2010 at 17:53:14 UTC
* Thursday, October 21, 2010 at 11:53:14 AM at epicenter
* Time of Earthquake in other Time Zones

Location 24.843°N, 109.171°W
Depth 10 km (6.2 miles) set by location program
Region GULF OF CALIFORNIA
Distances 105 km (65 miles) S of Los Mochis, Sinaloa, Mexico
125 km (75 miles) SW of Guamuchil, Sinaloa, Mexico
140 km (85 miles) NE of La Paz, Baja California Sur, Mexico
1200 km (740 miles) WNW of MEXICO CITY, D.F., Mexico

well, so

one 6.7 and one second later a 6.9

thats a lot of energy there.

ok I give up, USGS only shows the 6.7 after refreshing the page.

I going to go watch OC Choppers now. sheesh

Looks like they were playing around with data - been revised again to just one event:

There is something wrong with this event. The seismos on LISS are ringing all round the world just like a deep quake yet they say it is 10km (default depth). It looks much more like the Brazilian one recently at 600+ km depth.

Yes I do believe things are starting to shake and - make no sense - I am thinking this latest quake in the CA Gulf is not going to be the largest event - I may be wrong.

I have been following This Thread Please take a look at Archirvion - Page 22. We have a whole lot of information in his/her very short post. I only hope that he/she is not some prankster fear mongerer (or maybe I do). But he/she pretty much sums up what we all are talking/feeling/discussing!

On a side note = what the heck happened to my signature line = it's lengthy - I will try and shorten it tomorrow. AND berkeleygal - Love the Avitar = Halloweeny = my favoritest Holiday

Please do not confuse natural disasters with human made earthquakes.

Archirvion's last line makes me go hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Now why would he say that I wonder.

(glad you like the av

I seen the Gulf quake first on our SNZO seismograph, which I have set up as my home page, so when I start up my computer I see whats been going on.
That Gulf quake looks like a Mag mid 6 on ours, and most of the others actually, I still think 6.7 is a bit high.
But check out WAKE Island seismo, now thats what a 7 looks like, so most of the energy must have gone West.
aslwww.cr.usgs.gov...
WAKE seismo

Kind of weird they have a WAKE seismo on that page, but if you look at the USGS phase data page there is no reading from WAKE at all (its about 3/4 the way down the page) I had to use edit/find to find it.
A lot of the stations at the top had Mag 7's

I have this gut instinct that he is not a Govt scientist - his written word doesn't fit that description/mindset.

He/she probably thinks 2012 the Movie is real

I watched it last night on TV, what a load of rubbish.

I will definitely go along with you on that one. What scientist describes themselves as a 'government scientist'? It is such a loose term. IF he actually was a scientists them he would be promulgating his department so as to back up his statements.

In my opinion he is a liar an a fraud and by the way there is no large ring on the sun nor are there human induced earthquakes (other than those caused by fracking and heat extraction) which would appear to be a sideways mention of the supposed HAARP theories, none of which could actually work in terms of earthquakes.

Um "I might not be phage or any admin on this site" - so now Phage (or an ATS admin) is an authority of greater importance than a so called government scientist? Poppycock all of it and not worth exciting the electrons to read it.

@muzzy - OMG you mean the film is not what is really going to happen? You mean they cannot actually out run the faulting in a car? Fault movement has been measured as occurring at as much as 8,400 miles an hour. Are you suggesting that by 2012 cars could not travel that fast!


Just had to add - muzzy is it a fact then that the icecaps etc all melting which would increase the sea level worldwide by around 100 metres would NOT actually cause the tip of Mount Everest to be all that was showing whilst still allowing huge tracts of land in Africa to be free of water? Is Everest actually taller than that?

Interesting little outcrop of Mag 4+ and one 5+ in Northern Iran (Caspian Sea) and 90 km from a (dormant?) volcano.

Sabalan volcano (Kuhha-ye-Sabalan) lies in NW Iran, about 90 km west of the Caspian Sea and west of the city of Ardabil. The andesitic volcano reaches a height of 4811 m; it forms the highest point in NW Iran and is the country's 2nd highest volcano, exceeded only by Damavand. Seven glaciers descend from the summit, and rock glaciers are also present. Potassium-Argon dates at Sabalan ranged from 5.6 to 1.4 million years ago (Innocenti et al., 1982), but Karakhanian et al. (2002) indicated that activity at Sabalan continued into the Holocene.

From the Google Earth details (Smithsonian?)

Holocene is of course 11,000 years ago so not quite dormant in strict terms.

PM, you might want to bookmark this link to the index of the Fragile Earth Forum:

www.abovetopsecret.com...

When any bigger quakes happen, like close to 7 or above, one of the regulars (like me) will usually start its own thread on the quake. By going to the main index, you will much more easily be able to see if anything is happening, in addition to checking this "pinned" Quake Watch 2010 thread.

I also feel it was easier with the previous color coding of forums to read things on the recent posts list. But "easier" did not translate to "equal exposure" and "increased clicks" for ATS admin. The 2010 site redesign places more emphasis on the latter two. Good or bad, it's what they wanted to do.

Interesting one this. I have just blasted off an email to USGS because that event ID was used on Nov 9th 2009 for a quake in Yellowstone. NONE of the recent quakes start 0000. They all start 1022, i.e October 22.

A similar thing happened on the NM network and it took them a few days to sort it.

@TA - Thanks!

some activity here

@puterman - yes, odd about that event ID for utah.

And Mt St Helens has been having a little activity too

Yup, I just noticed the action:

The interesting thing about these are their depth. Check out this depth/plot map for the past decade:

PLOT


You'll notice that the majority of the quakes were between 0-5 km, while the recent ones are 11-13. There was also some more recent deep tremors in the area:
