Quake Watch 2011

reply to post by crappiekat


Can you be more specific? I have looked at the seismograms from Port Angeles down to Mt Shasta and all the coastal ones seem to be showing storm signals. Is there a storm off the Pacific coast?

reply to post by PuterMan


Thank you. I am looking at the seismic servers for Hopedale,Il (US/HDIL) specifly. I was also keeping an eye on the Ely, Mn server which would be north of me. I am located in Northern Il. What ever got it jumping seems to have quieted down. Earlier today around 10-12 oclock central standard time is when they seemed to start jumping.

HDIL.US.00.BHZ.2011.253 is showing storms and then interference - probably solar. See Gakona magnetometer in my signature. How does that relate to UTC? 6.5 hours is it. If so that sort of puts it into the solar incoming.

Alaska uplifted to 6.9

Told ya!!

Let me gaze into my crystal ball and into the future.

It is now 10 days from today, the 7 days list no longer has 5.9 Santa Cruz. It has moved to the 8 to 30 day list - and I see in the fuzzy glass of my crystal ball it is now a 6.0

Santaz Cruz upgraded to 6.0

There will be more later. Have to take a break for an hour. This prediction stuff wears me out

Thank you for the reply.
I have a 2 week vacation coming up. Since hubby and I arn't planning a fishing vacation, I plan to sit down and read and learn as much as I can on your QVS website.
Hopefully I won't be asking so many simple questions.

Tight lines.
Kat

good call on the Santa Cruz, I see GFZ went back up to 6.0 on the main list but still showing 5.9 on the event page
GeoAu finalized at 6.2Mw

peer pressure ya think?

Just had a nice shake here in Canterbury!

True enough....stay safe. I will be keeping an eye out and praying often. Looks like it was five miles from Christchurch.

reply to post by MamaJ


Thanks MamaJ!

Yes, it was in a similar place to the 6.3 that resulted in over 180 deaths here back in Feb 22nd

It was also the 3rd quake so far today...each one larger than the previous

At least all my stock stayed on the shelves

reply to post by SpaceJockey1


Yes, it was a goody. Felt bigger than 4.5 here in Kaiapoi. Me and the kidds have packed our emergency kits again. And packed some bags and lefted them in our hallway for quick getaway again. Just feal a bit worried about the next couple of weeks here.

reply to post by aarys


Life on the EDGE!

Father-in-law lives in Kaipoi as well, and he also said it was felt strongly out there.

It's a real worry, as more larger quakes have been predicted for Canterbury during Sept, so best be prepared like you are Aarys.

Stay safe...

i know this is seven hour old, but didnt see it mentioned above...

and ONLY a 4.4, but maybe relevant to ETNA situation...

Hello Robin,
A few weeks back the BBC - in London uk - ran a well detailed programme ref; 'The Core' of the planet. Did mention such to Puterman, who returned a list of better detailed sites etc. Anyway the reason for writing is how present discoveries explained the possible formation of the Core, plus CRYSTALS, something you spelt out and i fully wgreed with sometime back.


www.bbc.co.uk...
One page worth reading and as said , Puterman may return more detailed URLs, Hope all is well your side of the pond
farewell for now

I often download BBC docs. So, I download "The Core". However, it was the 2003 film. Oh well, it helped me get to sleep last night.

I was very interested in the crystal forest. I recently came back from travels and flew over the boreal forest. When I orginally moved here it was by train. So, this was the first time I had a bird's eye view of the place where I made my new home. It wasn't very difficult for me to imagine the core of our planet having another kind of forest.

Also, I completely agree about the liquid magma acting like weather. I've come to think of volcanic activity as connected as surges travelled around the earth looking for a weak spot to vent. We have active weather under our feet. It's just you can't track it by radar. But the magnetic shifts should be able to tell us where the eye of the storm may lie.

South America?

I'm sure there's high pressure and low pressure zones as well.

I am certain quatz and the cyrstal forest resonate and are part of the equation. I'm sure the moon and gravitational forces act to drive our subterrianean weather. Hurricanes and atmospheric weather create pressure changes which also contribute to earthquakes. The problem with understanding our inner earth is our narrow focus. The problem is that these contributing factors are very small and complex. Unique to each zone and made more dynamic because it is all interactive.

For example, the clustering in the eastern United States. There are still remenants of the Virgina quakes as the northeast adjusts. And looky looky. Okie is active. And this morning TEXAS decides to chime in. The Texas quake is near oil fields. They may be old fields. They may be injecting disposal water in the area. I'm not sure.

I am sure the activity is related to the Arkansas swarm. And it's all related to oil and gas drilling.

edit on 10/9/2011 by PuterMan because: Cruz is spelt with a Z stupid not an X

I literally LOL'ed when I read the last sentence!!!

SO what is up with today? It sure feels creepily quiet.

Also, the Texas quake is conflicting...what do you think the magnitude was?

Thanks guys and gals!!! xoxox

Jenn

Any experts please> ...whats up with the Texas EQ? Is it cause for concern?

Busted your quiet!!

ETA: Have not checked it out yet but EMSC has this at 5.4 Mb which is quite a substantial difference. One of these is going to go down or up, and I would not mind betting that USGS goes down a point and EMSC eventually come up to 5.9 Mw.




Looks as if they got told! EMSC now have it at 6.0 Mw

Just had a look at the phase data. I stick by my original. That will go down to 5.9 after 7 days. What do you think muzzy?

reply to post by blahandblahandyadayada2


In my honest opinion No. No cause for concern (ETA: other than that we should be concered about injection of course). Looks to be injection induced. See my reply here

Thought you guys would find this interesting:

Like scars that remain on the skin long after a wound has healed, earthquake fault lines can be traced on Earth’s surface long after their initial rupture. Typically, this line of intersection between the area where the fault slips and the ground is more complicated at the surface than at depth. But a new study of the April 4, 2010, El Mayor–Cucapah earthquake in Mexico reveals a reversal of this trend. While the fault involved in the event appeared to be superficially straight, the fault zone is warped and complicated at depth.

www.irishweatheronline.com... ml

Here's some fun reading. Following the Virgina quake, a geologist states Central Texas is unlikely to have a quake above 4.0 - 4.5M. Well, it didn't take long for one to hit that was almost above 4.5M.

kut.org...

At the end of the article he admits he could be wrong.
I'm not.
Texas is related to Oklahoma, which is related to Arkansas. Which is related to Colorado and Virgina.
Also, we must remember the drought in Texas. Puterman mentions in the Texas thread, the water-table.
The farmers must have tapped the sucker dry and it could have settled and collapsed in parts.

The end of the drought may produce a quake bigger than 4.5M.
These oil and gas boys are hastening the future. They are destabalizing the mid-continental faults.
I would be surprised if we get a quake in the Gulf somewhere near Alabama. There was one back a few months ago. Another is probably due sometime soon.
