What might really be happening in Washington State?

My little dog hasn't done her thing for awhile when I was around (she did when I wasn't home but I didn't know about it until after the quake)....but she just got under my computer desk to sit on my feet, shaking and doing her wild-eyed, groaning thing.

We shall see.

What is the usual time frame from the "alert behavior" to any shimmy?

I`m calling them "shimmies" because its easier for me to think of Mother Earth bellydancing than being destructive (maybe because I bellydance and it is a great stress buster)

I hope its a small shimmy,if any!

She's usually whithin a few hours....it amazes me how she seems to sense or hear the quakes well in advance. My larger dog senses bigger quakes further away and its normally 10-15 minutes before.

Whats the best station for me to pull up on GEE for your area?

I`ve still got Va and colorado as well as two here pulled up, and I`d like to add your area as well.

reply to post by dragonlover12


The easiest/closest one to pull up is:

TA.B05D

Thanks!

I`ll add it now.

Stay safe!

First off, a quake never developed the last time I posted, so it isn't always a quake.

Second: What the HECK is going on in Richland, Wa??????!!!

Mind you....this is not typical.

Here is the seismicity map

You can see that in the last 21 years there have been several micro quakes around that area...but not too many in that exact location. I know there are some small faults around that half of the state (grew up over there and felt a couple of small quakes), but to have a swarm is wierd.

ColoradoMom posted an the first observation on 9-3 here
www.abovetopsecret.com...

and I replied two posts down.. I looked at that area in google earth and didn't see anything outstanding.

thatsa lotta quakes. I have been watching it, but not today, and the last time I looked there were 17 quakes, now 24

nice to see ya T

My biggest concern is that there have not been any notable after-shocks.

This came from the subduction zone....I have no doubt.

Thinking about Japan. They had a 7.2 fore-shock the day before. Could this be a similar scenario?

I just sent some friends out to put together a bug-out bag, because I am VERY serious about this one.

Be careful you guys.

This is a scary map:


MAP

Glad to see you're ok! I have family and friends in the Tacoma area. None of them felt anything. I hope this isn't a foreshock.
I was in the Loma Prieda quake. I remember the quakes getting more frequent in the year-and-a-half leading up to it.
A bug-out bag isn't a bad idea at all. I have what the kids and I call a "Y2k closet". Three month supply of food just in case of disaster or job loss. It really comes in handy when we have blizzards.

Volcano off the coast: We've only mapped and know of approx 5% of the sea floor.. not surprising then to find a volcano on the floor along the Ring of Fire.

Massive magma pool: Pretty cool, but Hood hasn't erupted in 11 thousand years, and that phase was very minor. But Rainier and Helens but Adams hasn't erupted in nearly 1,500 years.

I don't think there is anything out of place.

This site seems to be taking this very seriously(not surprisingly) thecomingcrisis.blogspot.com...

I'm not sure where you got your info, but it is WAAYYYYY off. To make sure no one is mislead, here is a chart to clarify the VERY active volcanic activity in almost all of the volcanos in the cascade chain:

Okay....I am going to cross-post. But is from my other thread, so I think it should be okay. It is most definately relavant to THIS thread also, so i want to share with you guys. I am really hoping someone from the area saw it too!

****

Did I capture photographic evidence of the atmospheric affect of electromagnetic radiation from the ground,?

Okay...not trying to be overly dramatic, but this has gotten to be a long thread and I wanted to make sure to get your attention. (and I'm a little excited about it )

Let me start by explaining my proclamation.

On another thread Kdog posted some links to a couple of interesting papers out of Stanford University. The following is the external quote they provided:

Yet, for centuries, and even millennia, people living in seismically active regions have noted premonitory signals. The historical records talk of changes of the water level in wells, of strange weather, of ground-hugging fog, of unusual behavior of animals (both domestic and wild) that seem to feel the approach of a major earthquake. With the advent of modern science and technology the list of premonitory signals has become even longer. Among them are (i) Sporadic emissions of low to ultralowfrequency electromagnetic radiation from the ground (ii) Occasional local magnetic fi eld anomalies reaching a strength of half a percent of the Earth’s main dipole fi eld (iii) Changes in the lower atmosphere that are accompanied by the formation of haze and a reduction of moisture in the air (iv) Large patches, often tens to hundreds of thousands of square kilometers in size, seen in night-time infrared satellite images where the land surface temperature seems to fl uctuate rapidly (v) Passing perturbations in the ionosphere at 90 - 120 km altitude that affect the transmission of radio waves

Now. This really interested me, because there has been more talk amongst us here of late about the increase in what seems to be some sort of electrical or odd 'interference' with the seismos. I especially have noticed it around my region lately. Didn't use to see it before. We (puterman and I have discussed it) speculated on whether it was something with the communication network, local interference, something man-made or possibly atmospheric (solar) induced. This paper immediately made me think of this and whether or not it could be what was causing that odd signal. We saw something similar on the Arkansas seismos too.

I also commented on another thread today how last night the weather was quite strange. We have been unseasonably warm (finally) but cold at night since the skies are clear. Last night it was very humid, warmer (around 60) and had a nice layer of ground fog.

Okay...so this brings me to tonight. I ran outside at about 7:05 PM Pacific time to catch some pictures of a VERY full, VERY cool moon. Yes, this is connected because there is a whole bunch of discussion about the moon and it's gravitational affect on the earth and tectonics.




After spending about ten to fifteen minutes I turned to look at the amazing sunset behind me. I had been watching the skies last night and all day today to keep an eye out for any possible atmospheric oddities. (I.e. earthquake clouds, etc.) BUT...it was a completely cloudless day today. As it was tonight. There have been some fires on this half of the state, so I knew it would be a bright sunset, but what I didn't expect was the very odd streaks radiating from the horizon. I quickly took some pictures (I had my mega telephoto lense on for the moon pics, so I couldn't get a wide-angle) and changed around the aperature and settings as much as i could to try and capture the color. Now, anyone who knows anything about cameras and trying to get good pictures of something faint in the sky knows how difficult this is (especially in low light)...BUT, I think I managed to get it well enough so you can see it. Because of my camera settings to account for the low-light, the pics area bit darker than reality. The streaks that I am talking about were very blue in color, against a bright orange/pink sky. These are NOT clouds, are NOT smoke and are NOT shadows. I am looking out towards the ocean, to the NW of Washington State, towards the San Juans and Vancouver island. There are no mountains in the distance to cause this shadowing...the Olympics are well to the South. I have never seen anything like it. Here are several pictures, in order. The lighting is different due to my changing the camera settings to try and get a good pic:




UGH!! new character limit is killing me...I'll have to make another post to finish this

continued....

I started taking this pictures at about 7:20 pm







This image I have messed with the contrast to make the streaks stand out more:

(NO....the streak is NOT going around the tree on the left. It is many, many miles above and beyond it)


I played with the tint and color on this to try and make it as close to the true colors/blue as possible:





This last one I am throwing in to let you see how long it stayed. This pics are all time-stamped if you know how to look that up. it was almost totally dark and it was still there. These streaks seemed stationary....not a part of the sunset, but rather illuminated, or back-lit by the dramatic colors of the sunset:

(it was 7:29 pm now)



As soon as I got inside, I went and re-freshed my computer screen...not really expecting to see anything. I was a bit shocked to see this:





These are very similar to the other spikes I was talking about. The ones on the screen had been from the previous ten minutes...while I was outside taking the pictures. The seismograph in GEE that this is a screenshot of is pretty much in the middle of my location and that of the 6.4 quake off Vancouver Island...right where I was facing while taking said pictures. Here is a map I made to give you a point of reference:






So do you see where i am going with this? I may be WAAAYYY off base, and Puterman, tear me apart if you care too...I can take it. But what if??????

An update: I think I may have figured it out.

******
OH MY GOSH you guys. I have goosebumps.

So I put these two searches together (ionization upper atmosphere earthquakes) and this was the FIRST thing I saw. I simply am a bit awed.

The giant earthquake that struck Japan this year not only shook the Earth, but also rattled the highest layer of the atmosphere, scientists find.

This research could lead to a new type of early warning system for devastating tsunamis and earthquakes.

Investigators measured these disruptions, called seismotraveling ionospheric disturbances, using about 1,000 global positioning system (GPS) receivers in Japan and Taiwan. Disruptions of the electrically charged particles in the ionosphere would lead to anomalies in radio signals between the ground receivers and the GPS satellites, data that scientists can measure.

Scientists detected a disc-shaped rise in electron density in the ionosphere about seven minutes after the earthquake. Concentric waves of fluctuating electron density then flowed out in the ionosphere from this disk at speeds of about 450 to 500 mph (720 to 800 kph). All in all, this disruption was about three times greater than the next largest one ever seen, which came after the 2004 magnitude 9.3 Sumatra earthquake.

One important question in determining how much of a warning his phenomenon might provide is: “Is there any detectable precursor in the status of the ionosphere before this disturbance is actually observed?” said atmospheric physicist Gaopeng Lu at Duke University, who did not take part in this study. “In that way, we might be able to predict the occurrence of earthquakes.”

Hello westcoast. I am not a "true believer" when it comes to the topic of chemtrails, however I was out for a bike ride this evening around nine p.m. and couldn't help but notice the strange clouds illuminated by the very bright moon. They look like the classic "chemtrails" pics you can find online. Large streaks, evenly spaced and even a moon dog. I have seen more sun dogs this summer than ever before in my life. Actually I have never seen a sun dog before this summer and now they are commonplace. Not saying there is a connection, just that its kind of cool to see. Since we both live in western washington I am wondering if you have noticed the odd "clouds" at night as well. The clouds I saw tonight look like this:
I

I have seen a cloud just like this several times this summer:
the rainbow effect on the cloud is very odd....

Ugh....my 'big' quake dog was doing his alert bark. Hopefully there is just a cat outside.

@nitro....I here ya! I don't really get into the chemtrial thing either, but I can't help but think about it when I see stuff like what you posted. The second pic IS a sundog.

So nothing happened last night...but now he is at it again. Won't stop barking, and it is not a typical bark. Nothing I can find or hear that he would be barking at.

Hi Westcoast, I appreciate your attentiveness to this issue. You may be on to something, after all I believe I read that the Yellowstone magma chamber migrated across southern Idaho to its current location. The Craters of the Moon were created quite recently just several thousand years old. I live in Boise, Idaho and I am close to areas that demonstrate the force of volcanic activity with ash flows that are hundreds of feet deep.
