Quake Watch 2011

reply to post by aorAki

I think Mark Quigley debunked the moon predictors pretty well on his blog, he seems a pretty genuine guy, seen him on TV all disheaveled and tired just after the 6.3, but still had time to answer all the questions the reporters asked. I wonder if he knows Jim Berkland? he runs a web page/forum SyzygyJob which covers the prediction side of things.

The thing to keep in mind with these guys is they sell books about what they are saying, so to them even a "close" hit 4 days out is worth pushing as a hit on their predictions.

Ahhh...not sure what to say about the above post...but that Sandwich Island eq from yesterday just had an aftershock.

Has anyone did a over-lay of seismic faults and the west cost/alaska/oregon and Bhaj Ca and the Hawaii/eastern NZ/Vanatu cap?

I have seen a couple of Mark's lectures - I really enjoy the way he explains things. I hope he does a few more in the wake of the 6.3.

Doods...I'm seeing a total Pacifc "CAP" rotation...mantle wise....look at Oregon...Baja.....NZ? Trilateral...look at the global maps.....e/w n/s degrees think 3-D rotate a globe....straight line and Harmonic circular ringing?

Edit: Harmonic Ringing=increase of energy
edit 2x: There will be a ~5 EQ in the middle east tonight

I wonder if they felt this on the Oregon Coast - I use to live there and have quiet a few friends there .
I've been watching the Central Oregon quakes the past several days, they seem to be more
numerous and bigger now. Thanks for the update.

I just posted a 5.0 off Oregon (see above) - they'd have felt that?

I agree, they probably did feel that. In the 10 years I lived there
I only felt 1 or 2 very small quakes. Something is waking up, that's
what concerns me.

The earthquakes off the coast of southern Oregon are not always felt, because they are so far away, however, I will keep checking the local news, because usually they will report a larger quake, especially if it was felt on the coast.

Live in NW Oregon, too far away to feel those, thank goodness, hopefully this is not a new trend.

Wasn't sure which Christchurch Quake thread to post this on, so will post it here

Ok - Good Morning Folks - Here's the list for that past 2 1/2 days of larger events. I am not likeing the fact that these quakes seem to be gaining in intensitiy. Westcoast - ever been to the Eastcoast? Love to have you visit! Hope your on high ground

Thats a little too close to a populated Area...

Edit: Maybe someone would like to look at the Plot here (BUG and IBBN are closest as far as i can tell) Damn,thats complicated,here is a Plot


Edit2: This and this Maps might be something for PuterMan to archive or whatever

Today’s Earthquake Fact
When the Chilean earthquake occurred in 1960, seismographs recorded seismic waves that traveled all around the Earth. These seismic waves shook the entire earth for many days! This phenomenon is called the free oscillation of the Earth.

In other words, the earth shakes like a bowl full of jello.

Kinda quite in here for that kind of action...~shrugs~

Just learned about the 3 aftershocks, the big quake could have done some
real damage - not that far out to sea. Any reports coming in - communications
down or anything? And a Tsunami as well - the 3 aftershocks - could they
make the Tsunami more intense I wonder?
