whoa..I guess I slept all week!

PR is going nuts today..must be that CME hitting us

A 5.o or a 5.2 in Pourta Rico area........earthquake.usgs.gov...

There is some shaken going on today..I guess it could be relative to the CME....

Bulletin type PUBLISHED

I wonder if that is the difference? I will try that again later

BTW PNG 6.4 - I am guessing 6.2 Mw. Looks to high based on the Mb values

ETA: Tried it on PUBLISHED and now they are all there. How weird is that? You would think that COMPREHENSIVE would have at least as much as PUBLISHED if not more!

Scientists!!


Further addition muzzy: The 9.5 I see is listed as 8.4/8.5

I thought that was 8.8 ML which then became 9.5 Mw. Just what scales are they using here?

reply to post by Human0815


Mm, 30 years? 30%? I would say that was much closer to 75% for 30 years.

Gives me another reason to make it to 93 to see if I am right!!!!

I do not know so well

They do not speaking about a huge EQ.
they predicting a "Huge Tsunami"
which will be really catastrophic, much more than 03/11.

I hope that they renew the Protection in time!

Netherlands:

Information on Infrasound

Infrasound is sound that is inaudible to humans. It is a type of air pressure variation with the frequency of sound vibrations lower than that for men is heard. Infrasound generated by large volumes of moving air or moving surfaces. Think of exploding volcanoes. But during the Enschede fireworks disaster, severe storms and aircraft breaking the sound barrier flying infrasound is present. Infrasound is also recorded. KNMI has therefore developed a micro-barometer. This file contains more information about infrasound. The 'news' publications can be found mainly in response to events where there was perceived infrasound. Thus, the KNMI infrasound also Eyjafiallajökull the volcano measured in De Bilt. There are also news about measurement and analysis found in this section. The 'terms' you will find the explanation of a number of related concepts and under 'background' and more detailed information and statistics about infrasound, detect the ring and its natural phenomena and events / objects that create infrasound.

You are probably best popping that link into Google Chrome so you get an automatic translation as it is in Dutch.

Note they measured the infrasound from Eyja!

And ETA:

Beeft de aarde nu? - The earth trembles now?

A seismogram from the Netherlands.

You can see the recording of vertical ground movement in South Limburg. Earthquakes with a magnitude greater than or equal to 4.5 on the Richter scale (within Europe) and greater than or equal to 5.5 outside of Europe are marked with an asterisk. Click on the seismogram for a larger size.

Warning: This seismogram will mess with your brain as it goes from bottom to top in hours but left to right in minutes. It has events marked however which is a nice touch.

Well thats weird, I didn't see that ID879136 when I was looking at the results, my fault, I thought it was the one before that at 1960/05/22 19:10:37 which was a 8.3 ID879135
which raises the question " was it two Mag 8's 39 seconds apart rather than a single Mag 9.5
I don't have a listing for 1960/05/22 19:10:37 and thats after scouring Utsu, Centennial List (EHB), NOAA, ANSS and DGFUDC (Chile)
The magnitudes listed on both are from PAS which is California University of Technology, Pasadena, USA, so one would assume the Centennial List would have that entry.

Re the magnitude types
I can't find the answer, they should be there on the results, but they are not ( on the On-line Bulletin: Rectangular Selection anyway)
Just noticed EHB Search is available off ISC
Results for 22-23/05/1960 only have the 1960/05/22 19:11:16.44
but they do have magnitude types
Magnitude Err Nsta Author OrigID
Ms 8.5 ABE 9205619
Mw 9.6 P&S 9205619

It may be something to do with the age of the Dates, I did a search for 1970/05/22 00-1970/07/23 01 which did return magnitude types
eg
Magnitude Err Nsta Author OrigID
6.2 JMA 1760186
mb 5.7 25 USCGS 1760187
MS 6.0 7 USCGS 1760187
MS 7.2 30 MOS 1760188
mb 5.7 39 ISC 1760189

and one for 1954/05/22 00-1954/07/23 01 and got no magnitude types
eg
Magnitude Err Nsta Author OrigID
6.8 PAS 1926207
7.0 PAS 1926208
7.0 PAS 1926209

Finding ISC has raised more questions than it has answered.


in Utsu's Catalog of Damaging Earthquakes in the World (Through 2009) he puts known magnitude types in the Remarks column ( Chile 1960 9.5 as" 8.5Ms 9.5Mw" and the source as NGRM = Ceresis (Centro Regional de Seismologia para America del Sur) (1985) and Ganse and Nelson (1981, 1982), Raid and Myers (1985)
Seeing as I started my Project using his as a basis, and added other sources as I went along, anything without a magnitude type on my Project is shown as "Unk" for Unknown, there are quite a few, but I do give the "known" mags on the maps if there is one available.

reply to post by muzzy

was it two Mag 8's 39 seconds apart rather than a single Mag 9.5

I was wondering that as well, but don't forget those are not Mw values so if an 8.5 translates to a 9.6 was it a 9.5 Mw and a 9.6 Mw. Yikes!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Quakin Out The Old Year~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This post will probably be the strangest in this forum anyone has ever seen. But I'm as serious as I can be about it. Back in the early to mid 1970's, there were a couple of songs about earthquakes, that very much addicted me. as with you, though, songs from that long ago do not stay at the forefront of your mind as the decades roll on by, of course. However: There are these moments that come up, every now and then, with me, where these songs will be stuck in my brain. Here is where it gets very anomalous. Consistently (I made a conscious effort to keep track) their timing precedes some newsworthy earthquake event. While the song is in my head, I wil dance around with my hands up in the air, tilting like I'm dancing during a quake rockin. But I would also wonder to mysef, "Is this some kind of crazy voodoo thats attracting the actual following geological occurrence?" It's probably either 1. A majorly incredible coincidence or 2. I'm sensing somehow, on a not conscious level, deep rumblings to-be.

Tonight I became obsessed with finding these songs on YouTube, and listening to them with stereo headphones. I kept fantasying of a music video I'd produce, (but I can't do that, really) of these songs in background, with scenes of the whole Washington DC area swaying and crumbling, while gigantic platform chunky shoes walk by.

Maybe if we all (the many ATS viewers) listen to the megaquakeFunktion and picture the DC area swaying and crumbling, the voodoo will make those hellbent warhawk KOOKS there, STOP the genocidal madness trajectory they are locked in. Which will effect far more people worldwide, than

an EARTHQUAKE.........




This vid is Graham Central Station, 1977, called, 'Earthquake'.





And this vid is The Undisputed Truth, 1972, called, 'Earthquake Shake'.

You know... I was just playing a game when I got a sense to possibly check recent earthquakes. Lo and behold, there's been a 3.4 in the Channel Islands region down south. I didn't feel it up here, though. I have to say... That's why I've finally started making more posts in this forum. I have a strong feeling that the day the big one hits is possibly closer than we think. We're living on borrowed time in a way. Trust your instincts. I tend to get different sensations depending on where large earthquakes hit.

Channel Islands
near Jersey or Guernsey?


Ya know this is an International Forum

Whoops. I meant in California.

....songs from that long ago do not stay at the forefront of your mind as the decades roll on by, of course.

Have to say that they stick in my mind far better than most of the rubbish that is produced today and laughingly called music.

While the song is in my head, I wil dance around with my hands up in the air, tilting like I'm dancing during a quake rockin.

Pics or it didn't happen

.......with scenes of the whole Washington DC area swaying and crumbling......

I am liking this so far

Maybe if we all (the many ATS viewers) listen to the megaquakeFunktion and picture the DC area swaying and crumbling, the voodoo will make those hellbent warhawk KOOKS there, STOP the genocidal madness trajectory they are locked in. Which will effect far more people worldwide, than

an EARTHQUAKE.........

Unfortunately there your argument/scenario falls down. Nothing will stop "those hellbent warhawk KOOKS", not even an earthquake even if we could conjure one up by some magical means. Trillions of bucks ride on the warmongering to line the pockets of the elite and you can rest assured that, despite the fact that those trillions diverted into earthquake research could probably make a real difference, it will not happen.

The Zionist Bankstas that rule are really not in the least bit interested in spending money on research that will not ultimately bring profit. Sorry but that is the way of the world at present unless we the people change it, and to do that you have to remove the TV channels - all of them.

You know there is all this talk about the big one, and predictions of a Mag 9 for California etc etc, but where is the evidence for this?

If you take a look at the history of California earthquakes from the USGS you will see that historically California has not had an earthquake in the Mag 8+ range.

Why then do the prophets of doom keep on talking about Mag 9+ for California? Maybe because of the 'profits' of doom.

At least Cascadia has evidence of a Mag 9+ quake and is far more likely to produce another from the historical/geological evidence. There is no such indication for California.

My instincts say California will not get what I call a big one - a mega-quake 8.5+ - not soon and probably not ever.

So do I trust my instincts or yours?

I would expect a 7.0-7.5-ish for the area of California and an 8.5+ near the Cascadia fault, like you said, if the whole thing was to rupture, that would be very bad. That's where all the research on the topic points to that I've dabbled in. Still not a good picnic for western US no matter how you slice it.

Does anyone know why there have been 50+ recorded larger quakes in the Perto Rico region? Each time I log in they've had 5-10 more. The Earth is a strange place this past year. Record snowfall here for November, everywhere you look, unusual storm here, unusual pressure system there every month of the year.

I hope for a quiet December but my senses are telling me otherwise.

reply to post by PuterMan

You could be right, PuterMan.
The 1857 Fort Tejon mag 7.9 and 1906 SF quakes (from your link) are the biggest historically in the state. But prior to the gold rush in 1849, the non-native population is estimated at less than 15,000 people. California doesn't have a long, written historical record. Just because there hasn't been an 8.5+ in the past 150-200 years, doesn't mean there will not be one.
Their must be some reason geologists think it is possible. The 1300km San Andreas Fault--massive, if it ever broke all at once (though unlikely).

It's been a while since a big one hit the earth (November 8 for 6.9 and October 23 for 7.2) me thinks a big one hitting is imminent since we have at least one big every month or so.

Where will it hit is the question... and what magnitude will it be...

Any idea? Where's the activity right now?

And just watched a NOVA episode on earthquakes and they say that another ``big one`` could hit Port-Au-Prince Haiti at any time since when the 8.0 happened in 2010 it didn't release ALL the energy of the fault.

Of course the San Andreas fault always on the brink too... and it would be 7.8+.

Hey Bro!

That quake in Haiti was a 7.0......just a hair of a difference

But whose splitting hairs!
