Quake Watch 2011

USGS took the 4.2 off again.

We are into the third hour of Wednesday, and nothing.

And my discussion earlier abou megaboogie's avatar should prove my point. Sometimes, you only need a small piece of the puzzle to get the answer. I recognised the tree. And because my mind had the picture on file. I knew there was a deformed watch hanging off it's branch. So, each detail I gave you is a piece in the puzzle. They are facts. The microsiems. Chihuaha, coal mines. All the facts are there. You just have to asemble them, and in the case of a mystery, you need to put them in their chronological sequence. Then you have you suspect. No matter how improbable it is. I have used the same method as Sherlock. I may only be Watson, but Watson knew Holmes's methods.

It's elementary.
"...when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth."

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

Maybe I should have stopped at elementary. Art believed in spirtualism and farries.

He also may have been a perpetrator of the pit down man hoax.

All things must be judge only when knowing all the facts.

Hmm, interesting theory Robin, however, you might want to take a look at this huge map of principal aquifers in the US, reapply that to your theory, and see if it works:



Somehow I have a hard time believing resonance could have traveled through these aquifers- and I honestly don't see much of a connection at all between the Colorado, Arkansas, and Virgina events. In addition, the aquifers don't appear to be all that connected...

Okay, I figured it out. It's a long story, so hold on.

I won't detail too much of the events in Arkansas for the past year. It should be obvious to all that regularly read this thread. But they are intregal to the plot. They are the reason for the stress loads on the Colorado and Virginia zones. Notice Arkansas is quiet. Not a fluke.

First we must think about microsiesms. They are small signatures that come from oceans waves and tides. Recently a tropical waves created very enegetic microsiesms on many siesmos. It's hurricane season and these strong waves preceeded the weather setup that will bring the enegetic hurricanes. But the Atlantic was not the only place that was experiencing hurricanes. There was coincidentally a hurricane of Mexico at the same time producing large waves. And the moon was creating high tides.

So that's our opening for the second chapter. The first rare inland quake was Chihauhau Mexico. I would have forgetten it by now, but when looking back it makes perfect sense. Actually, it was at that time I developed the first part of my hypotesis. I made the claim that the ocean waves triggered the quake. It wasn't a strong case. But I made it nonetheless.

We know what happened starting with Colorado. Let me explain how it happened. Remember these zones were ready to fault because of the addition loads from Arkansas/Oklahoma/Texas. You can see them in isolation. They are connected. In many ways.

First, to explain properly, I need you to imagine a tuning fork. Instead of it held upright with the two arms pointing upward, turn it upside so the arms point to the ground. Now imagine Florida, or look at a map if you must. Now look at Mexico where is narrows as it stretches into Central America. There. You have a tuning fork. The Florida Pennisula acts as it's one of the arms on the tuning fork. And South Mexico acts as the other arm. Imagine the handle extending up through the middle of the USA.

The waves where hammering the arms of this geological fork just as you would hit a tuning fork with it's hammer. You get a resonance. And the waves sent small waves toward the middle of the continent.

First Chihauhau went off. And then Colorado started it's swarm. Virgina then released it's energy. But what was the exact trigger? Wait, let me stop there. The resonse of the waves from the ocean would have passed through the ground water. These vibrations would shake loose soils and created erosion. This erosion would weaken faults. It's almost like liquifecation.

But there's something else. The resonance itself, and what cyrstal do when resonsated at the right frequency. They shake. In Windsor Ontario, they've been hearing strange humming coming from the ground. I thought this was simply as a result of the mining industry in the salt mines. But no. They ruled out industrial activity. But it was the mines, and the salt. The salt, which is a cyrstal can resonsate. And the mines act as a loud speaker. Notice that Windsor would be near the top of your tuning fork.

So, we have ocean tropical waves creating microsiesms which resonate through the crust. They encounter salt and cyrstal formation and the mine shafts amplify the waves. Hence you get the ground moaning. Must have been spooky.

So, how does that relate to Colorado and Virginia. Easy. The both have coalmines near by. To the southwest of Colorado there's a coal mine. And waster water injection. But I won't go there for the time being. But water is in the mix, but not as the main catalyst. West Viginia is famous for it's mines. The waves from the ocean resonated, Hell maybe the coal, isn't it a cyrstal, just black, maybe I'm wrong, watching Breaking Bad in order to improve my chemistry skills. Or there could be quartz mix in and when this quartz vibrated, the waves were amplified. This shaking pushed an already over stressed fault system beyond it's threshold.

So, that's how it went down. I really don't care if you don't believe it. I complety believe my hypothesis. My story. I've been watching the siesmos constantly over the last few weeks. That's why I can follow the sequence of events and add them all together. I simple observed the patterns and noted the activity, then looked around to observe other phenomenon and studying the links. It's a chain of events. It's a chain reaction and it all started one year ago in Arkansas. It started with a tiny quake.

And you wonder why I obsess on the tiny ones. I'll let Muzzy and Puterman give me an education on the big ones. But those teeny tiny ones, they're mine. I'm only interested in the big ones in relation to the small ones because that's how the whole thing begins. Earthquakes are the ground moving. And that movement at first is usually small. Imperceptable almost.

That's why Sherlock had a magnifying glass. So he could see the small stuff. Ironic. Sherlock's fater gave his brother Mycroft his magnifying glass in his will.

That's my conclusion. That's my story. And I'm sticking to it.

I like that map, I kept it on favs.

The waves, the microsiems pass through the crust. That's why they show up on the seismograms. During that period before the storm, they were very pronounced on Arkansas graphs. I could see them slightly on Yellowstone graphs. But Yellowstone is very far away from Florida, and even from Mexico. They were there, but very faint, we've seen the bigger. "member the fraudster on the Yellowstone thread tried to claim they were harmonic tremors. So, we know they travel through rock. While they travel through rock, the pass through the differing aquifers, but the don't need to be connect to be affected. The wave in the water aggitate the softer rock. Like aggitating in your laundry tub. This will change things. There's various way it can destabilize a fault.


Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas, etc, Colorado and Virgina are connected because they are inland. The are mid-continental. These quakes act upon other nearby fault systems. You already know how the other faults work. One plate will sink under the other. So, much of that energy is thrust upward or downward into the mantle.

Hold on and I'll finish the post, there may be a bear in the backyard thinking about raiding my garden. be back


Back, saw no bear.

But theses quake are not near other plates so all the enegy is absorbed by the one plate. In particular, the region has a very soft crust. That's why the waves travel so far. So, the waves from the quakes hit the neigbouring siemic areas with greater force. This then put stress on a nearby fault as is then force to move due to the readjustment of the original quake fault. There's a whold lot of shuffling going on.

Colorado and Virgina are not directly connect even in their fault systems. But both are right beside active areas. Colorado is beside Oklahoma and Texas. And Virginia is close to Arkansas. The enegy between these two areas and a zone in between which has been relatively activie. Tenneessee.

The two quakes were on seperate arms like branches on a tree.

Agree with much of what you so, especially when you refer to 'CRYSTALS, RESONANCE, MINES', etc. Still think about the Coal Mine Fires in New Zealand, prior to the oncoming 7.1 EQ that follwed. This was followed by Japan's tragic Tsunami plus still leaking Fukushima plant. Mankind has lifted Millions of tons of Iron Ore, Copper, Coal, Shingles, Stones, etc.etc. per year from places such as Chille, Australia, America, Canada and indeed Europe, and transferred such in many different, yet regular ways. By doing this multiple Mines, or large deep pits, have created weight shifting in a too big to even imagine , sort of way. Yes, echo chambers - still left holding crystals - have / are created. 30 Million tons of Iron Ore shipped from Australia (South of the equator to China, North of the equator). Has this helped to disturb the Global magnetic fields ???

reply to post by steaming


I was wondering the same thing.

Sorry, hit the enter button perhaps too early....... I was simply trying to say how I agree with the tuning fork, crystal, theory But also to agree with the 37.5 latitude suggestion. - something noted when Spain suffered its recent EQ. Thought the next EQ would happen mid Atlantic. Could not even imaging it would be Colorado then Virginia. Frightening future ??? Natural Future???, either way I bow my head to Mother Nature. This is the most informative website i have ever found. "Thank You to Everyone, please keep up the good work.

reply to post by berkeleygal


i won't ignore you. I'm getting dizzy so I don't pay attention anymore to the listing. they're always doing that stuff. I know it was real quake and that's good enough for me. and it seem like a 4M. give or take. When I saw westcoast post it, that was official enough. sooner of later the usgs will pull out a final number and post it for good. maybe their reassessing it. maybe their just being dutiful and diligent in staying ontop of it. Unlike Yellowstone ug. and Arkansas ug. So. I guess it their best they can do.


And what are they smoking up there?
Blue meth.
I've been watching way too much Breaking Bad.

Haven't felt much in Northern VA, about 1.5 hours from epicenter. Sitting on the couch feeling a few bumps here and there, but it may be unrelated.

Not looking forward to going to work in tall office buildings tomorrow.

I'll be darned. It IS gone again. :shk:

I swear they must be having knock down, drag out fist fights right now at the USGS.

"It was a 4.2, put it back on there! *smack*

"NO!! It was NOT a 4.2, it was just a 2.4, and the list is 2.5 and up only!!!" *POW*

"Why you...." *SLAM*

"OWWWW" *PUMMEL*



Seriously.... This is getting ridiculous. I can honestly say I have never, EVER seen them waffle this many times on a fricken quake.

thank ya darlin

I know it was a real quake too, just pizzes me off that they do that.

I am just waiting for that big red square to land on the west coast.... on the 37th parallel

thank you too my dear..

and thanks for the mental picture of chaos reigning at the usgs orifice

Does this map contain data from leached and or possible inundation of injection fluid and it's ramifications on our aquifers in relation to how they are connected?

Would a 2 ~ 2.9 range quake generate that many felt reports? USGS updated dyfi page

(that brown line goes right over the top of mammoth lake)

"The waves are able to reverberate and travel pretty happily out for miles," said U.S. Geological Survey seismologist Susan Hough."

gee why didnt u say they were happy waves,,,

golly i feel so silly now.
