Quake Watch 2010

reply to post by Anmarie96


Thread jumping! Answered this in Yellowstone. It is nothing just a big red spike probably right under the recorder!!

So what's happening here then that we are called from the Yellowstone thread?

Are you serious?

Any mutual concensus on this?

It is a beautiful day for a hike!

Up and to the right a bit is not very precise, but up and to the right a bit is this(12.5 miles from quake):

The Palena volcano group consists of five cinder cones oriented along a NNE trend NE of Melimoyu volcano. The youthful volcanoes, which are named after the middle cone, are Holocene in age (Moreno 1985, pers. comm.).

The source is the Smithsonian.

Just 72 miles to the north of this quake is Chaiten (active and on red alert last time I looked). I hope we do not get too many more here.

Just 15 miles away from the quake to the left and down is this:

Melimoyu is a stratovolcano with an 8-km-wide, largely buried caldera located about 40 km NW of the town of Puyuhuapi. The ice-filled caldera is drained by a glacier through a notch in the NE caldera rim. The basaltic-andesite volcano is elongated 10 km in an E-W direction and has several cinder cones. A 1-km-wide crater is located at the summit of the volcano. Two late-Holocene tephra layers have been documented from Melimoyu.

Source Smithsonian.

At a headeing of 166 degrees - slightly right ans south, there is another volcano just 28 miles away:

Puyuhuapi
Southern Chile

Volcano types:
Cinder cones Summit Elev: 524 m
Latitude: 44.30°S
Longitude: 72.53°W
A chain of dominantly basaltic cinder cones erupted along two NE-SW-trending fissures at the head of Puyuhuapi fjord comprise the Volcanes de Puyuhuapi. The larger group of four cones lies on the western side of Puyuhuapi fjord and fed lava flows that traveled SE to the sea. The second lineament formed a chain of four smaller cones between the head of the fjord and Lake Risopatrón to the north. The two fractures are related to the regional Liquiñe-Ofqui fault zone. The Puyuhuapi cinder cones are extremely well preserved, suggesting a very young age.

Not a brilliant area to be having earthquakes.

Chill out bro. Your fear is reflecting much here.

1. ) There is nothing to worry about. Really. Trust me.
a.)If you are living in Cali, and nothing happens except for some shakes, nothing to worry there.

If you are living in Cali, and sh&t happens, you'll be long dead to worry about anything, so nothing to worry about.

2. ) if you are not living in Cali,

a. ) Be glad you are not near that tectonic plate. Understand humanity's limitations. There is only so much we all can do. We are not masters of the universe, at least not yet....

I consider myself a strong person, good at sports, capable with a rifle, ingenious with survival strategies in times of crises, but would weep at the loss of other precious human lives, lives of which i know nothing of, nor have control over.

At times like these, the least we all can do is not to spread fear and panic. You and I have the power to spread courage and hope, without any ignorance or hiding of facts, but to present it as it is.

Let us pray or stay positive for them if we truly care. There are powers unknown yet, if only we try.

Cheers. It aint the end and never the end as long the human spirit never gives up. :-)

What am I supposed to be looking at? It looks exactly the same as it did before.

Ah, the plot is not updating in Fire Fox. I just got it from QuakeData and I see what you mean.

I will take a look.

Actually before I take a look this looks very similar to SMNR so is very likely cultural noise, snow ploughs, herds of bison and aliens landing - all right beside the recorder at the same time, oh and probably interference from the solar flare and CME.(That actually was a serious comment. We may see odd things for the next couple of days)


Update: It stopped. I have not saved the files yet but I can see in Vase that what ever that was has stopped so may well have been a plough. The LHZ recorder has clamed down a bit as well.

Thanks for reminding me! I feel better already.

Seriously.

B208 looks like B207 did yesterday in GEE. Check on other thread.

Good morning my quake watcher friends

this quake:

Magnitude 3.7 Date-Time Wednesday, March 17, 2010 at 16:41:37 UTC Wednesday, March 17, 2010 at 09:41:37 AM at epicenter Location 40.188°N, 121.332°W Depth 0 km (~0 mile) (poorly constrained) Region NORTHERN CALIFORNIA Distances 13 km (8 miles) WSW (256°) from Almanor, CA

Thats by Mt. Lassen, I know cuz I have been camping at Lake Almanor. Thats a man made lake, did ya know? And was named after the lake makers daughters, Alice, Mary and Nora. (or so I have been told).

On May 22, 1915, an explosive eruption at Lassen Peak, the southernmost active volcano in the Cascade Range, devastated nearby areas and rained volcanic ash as far away as 200 miles to the east. This explosion was the most powerful in a 1914-17 series of eruptions that were the most recent to occur in the Cascades prior to the 1980 eruption of Mt. St. Helens. Lassen Peak is the largest of a group of more than 30 volcanic domes erupted over the past 300,000 years in Lassen Volcanic National Park.

And is just beginning to look like again. This is definitely man made and so very likely to be ploughs.

What's up with the swarm in Puerto Rico?
