Any word yet on any tsunami warnings?

Holy crap!

Ok... I think its safe to say SOMETHING is majorly at work in the Earth. It's become super active. Amazing.

Scientists need to get to the bottom of this, and see if this is something planet wide, or just the Pacific plate moving at a faster rate all of the sudden. (IMO, the plate 'woke up' after the massive 9.3* in Sumatra)

I posted it previous page - trying to find tsunami info

the links i have for the area for tsunami are down - i thought they were suppose to get on top of this after the last time!!!!!

Oh very cool - fox news - this is normal quake behavior that has been occurring

So far, no word of tsunami, but the link to the HTML is no good...weird stuff.

I agree that it is very safe to say that there is some major movement going on world-wide. To have this many large scale quakes and volcanoes errupting....it's amazing.

I will wait to see how this affects everything else. With so much pull-and-tug I expect to see the cascadia range stir. We are LONG over due.

And then how about Yellowstone? Expect to see her answer again sometime this evening.

Turkey - 5.1

Summary:
Magnitude ML 5.1
Region NEAR THE COAST OF WESTERN TURKEY
Date time 2010-04-06 at 22:25:30.5 UTC
Location 38.07 N ; 26.47 E
Depth 573 km
Distances 72 km SW Izmir (pop 2,500,603 ; local time 01:25 2010-04-07)
32 km SE Çesme (pop 21,316 ; local time 01:25 2010-04-07)

This is from European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre.

I'm a bit concerned that it has been about 40 minutes and there are NO AFTERSHOCKS YET!!!!!

Could this mean another, larger one is coming? I hope not----but I would expect to see several aftershocks by now.

Some sources are reporting 3 aftershocks in the northern state of Aceh:

news.bbc.co.uk...

But I can't see any reports of these aftershocks on any of the Earthquake Watch sites yet, so perhaps they were too small to be reported, which would make them pretty insignificant for an earthquake of this magnitude.

EMSC reports that it was a 5.0 aftershock

Magnitude mb 5.0
Region NORTHERN SUMATRA, INDONESIA

Sorry for the late reply - my computer went down - - I agree on all points you made above - as I do excpet yellowstone to sound off - at this point - these monster quakes better stop poking - I mean stabbing toba -

here is the link to show location earthquake.usgs.gov...

Would someone please go wake up Moorfnz and Berkeleyal

[edit on 6-4-2010 by Anmarie96]

Well...I am hearing that some other sites are reporting aftershocks, but I am not convinced.

I realize that USGS can and is wrong from time to time and maybe they are behind the ball, but they have automatic computer generated reporting for anything over 2.5 and still NADA on their list except for the BAJA/Cali region.

I agree with you yet again!!! -- does anyone out there have links to seismo over there - i have been unable to find them and can not pull up GEE here on the dreaded dialup - I may go back to work -

On the way home, I thought very hard about a post I was going to make here - talked to my daughter about it - we had the haiti quake - all silent - then chile - silent - then ca/mex - silent - now - silent - something is very very off!!! - I of course had a much longer version to this - but now is not the time

reply to post by Anmarie96


Ok, the question here now is - If we are having a major solar/space weather event --- Why am I looking at a VERY YELLOW MAP???? Does it affect or not??? I guess time will tell. Althought the passage warning was on the 3rd and the 7.2 on the 4th - was it related? Or, are the gates about to burst of their hinges????

I guess, I shouldn't reply to my own post but --- Austria here you go

down grade to 7.7

[edit on 6-4-2010 by Anmarie96]

Okay, they just added the 5.1 aftershock. Phew.

Perhaps the computer generated stuff doesn't work in the wake of such a large event so they waited until it was reviewed by a person.

reply to post by westcoast


Yes, that could come into play now - as to not report something until varified ------

MAP 5.1 2010/04/06 22:54:05 2.270 97.077 35.0 NORTHERN SUMATRA, INDONESIA
MAP 7.7 2010/04/06 22:15:02 2.360 97.132 31.0 NORTHERN SUMATRA, INDONESIA

Officials confirm a local tsunami was generated.

So, what's new - well - oh nothing - just some minor aftershocks from the 7.2 in ca/mex the other day - here you go

MAP 4.0 2010/04/06 23:41:19 32.290 -115.411 10.0 28 km ( 18 mi) W of Guadalupe Victoria, Mexico

So, yeah, that's all for now -

Station KAPI in the II network

But I can't seem to get a plot. There is one more in IRIS coming up in a second

Here it is Station UGN in the GE (Geofon) Network

Got the one above UGM.GE..BHZ.2010.096

Got the other as well now KAPI.II.10.BHZ.2010.096
