Quake Watch 2011

It seems like something just happened according to GEE, but I cannot find any reports on USGS.

Did anyone notice another coincidence? Both Virginia yesterday & Peru's now, same time of day. Only 5 minutes difference!!!

Yea, that's the first thing that stuck out to me, here is my post from another thread:

posted on 24-8-2011 @ 01:39 PM Something maybe to take notice of was the timing of this quake compared to the quake in Virginia yesterday. It's almost exactly 24 hrs later. I think it's only 5 minutes shy of 24 hrs. This makes me think something is putting external force upon the earth. Similar times and similar latitudes (37), could be nothing more than coincidence, but it seems to be really kicking into high gear. Time will tell, until then fasten your seat belt, this could turn into one hell of a rough ride.

I'm watching that one too. It was just a minor quake..1.6 or 1.7 mag. It's on the 1+ quake page. Smaller ones have been popping off there all morning. But it is on the 37 line, so I am watching it.

HALT is a CERI seismometer.

Oar holders my friend. Ain't gonna happen.

You said it yourself. Pressure has gone elsewhere.

Read the link you posted....
Well, who knows....we just do not know when the EQ will hit but we know it will. With the Earthquakes cracking in the US like we saw yesterday it is my understanding that we will indeed see something take place sooner than later. The fracking and everything else" they" do of course does not help us a bit!

I was surprised when I got off work today not to find many aftershocks in Virginia. It is quiet.....too quiet in my opinion....but hey what do I know.

You can still see it if you pull it up now

Thanks to Megabogie, who tracked this quake down!!!

It was just over the border in Canada....

Type: Earthquake
3 hours ago
Magnitude: 3.5
DateTime: Wednesday August 24 2011, 17:14:32 UTC
Region: Canada
Depth: 46 km

That station is right near the canadian border...I guess it wasn't big enough to be listed? Although 3.5 is the cut-off. Still looked a tad bigger than that to me. Either way, there ya go. Anyone know the history for the area?? It is obviously much deeper than the others.

Okay...I am just a lurker on the QW thread...and the talk yesterday of the 37th parallel really 'struck' me as odd...so I did a tiny bit of research.


Cokedale, CO. 37.144
Mineral, VA. 37.48
New Madrid, MO 36.59
Honshu, Japan 37.67
Fukushima 37.57
San Francisco 37.46

Now more than a little freaked out.

Thoughts?

reply to post by westcoast


Well that would explain why it wasn't showing up. I think there may have been another one a little while later as I was watching it, but I don't think it was as big. Thanks for letting us know. I still have it up and watching it atm.

reply to post by watchdog


yup. There was another one. I don't get it though. If you zoom in on this quake map, it is clearly in new York State instead of canada??/

Ok, I am no expert, but I have read enough on the forum (and please some of you more experienced ats'ers correct me if I am wrong) to know that these quakes the last few days have relieved some pressure. Am I correct? So in some respect (especially concerning the NMZ) I am a little relieved because both the VA and CO quakes may have released some pressure on the NM right? Of course again, I am no expert and not sure if they run along the same faults or if there is any correlation between them, but I can't imagine one plate not having an affect on another one. Or am I completely off? Just trying to be a little realistic here before I start to get paranoid and start really worrying lol. Thanks in advance.

reply to post by watchdog


That's what people used to think, but there have been some studies released just lately that indicate they do NOT relieve enough to have impact.

Anyone care to look that up? I know it was on this thread, and I think my washington state thread.

Relieving pressure in most faults is a good thing. However, in the middle of the continent, things are different.

reply to post by westcoast


Huh, that is a bit odd. I don't know unless maybe it happened in Canada, our seismo picked it up and USGS is just behind with getting it up there or doesn't care lol??

Ahh ok, I will have to read that article. Thanks for helping me out Robin and Westcoast. I will read it after I get my little one off the bus.

eta: It's an interesting article. I will keep it in mind.

California Bay Area quake today made headlines:

A California earthquake measuring magnitude 3.6 was felt most strongly in the East Bay and Peninsula regions, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. It was followed this morning by a 2.7 quake reported near Yorba Linda in Orange County. But the Bay Area quake was significantly larger and felt over a larger area. According to the USGS's Did You Feel It? map, hundreds of people signed in to report the Bay Area temblor. Many were in such cities as Oakland, San Leandro, Burlingame, Alameda, San Francisco and Castro Valley. The quake, which struck at 11:36 p.m., appeared to be centered on the Hayward Fault about six miles south of Oakland. A magnitude 2.3 quake rolled through about five minutes later. Doug Sovern, a reporter for KCBS 740 AM, said in a tweet: "Quick hard shake of the house here on Berkeley-Oakland border." He said the quake lasted for only two or three seconds. "Nice adrenaline boost!" he tweeted.

When I zoomed in on it far enough, if you squint just right, you can see two concentric circles. One says, 3 hours ago 3.5 Canada. The other one, 2 hours ago 2.3 Canada. Definitely on NY side by that map.
