Quake Watch 2011

reply to post by crazydaisy


Witness location : Tomakomai (Japan) (468 km NW from epicenter)

It felt like I was feeling my heart pounding very strong, so I sat on the bed and noticed this sliding motion. I first had thought I was getting dizzy thus the motion I was feeling, then my wife came in and asked if I had felt the earthquake. Eerie!

www.emsc-csem.org...

I heard about this on the car radio an hour ago, they said Tokyo had wobbling in some high rises, the MM doesn't stack up though, highest was MM2 for Tokyo according to USGS.

Pretty strong quake though, Max. PGV (Peak Ground Velocity) was 150cm/sec at the epicenter

so what do the locals say

Japan has some of the world's best building regs regarding quake-proofing, and their quake tables are some of the world's best developed. They are used to 7.0's - it's not unusual for the area. Just last December they had a 7.4.

Injection wells can causes earthquakes. As proven recently in Arkansas.

Now the gas companies want to frack on Yellowstone's doorstep.

I started a thread.

East Coast Japan just had a 7.2 Mag quake

Maps added to my links site

qvsdata.wordpress.com...

French links added to earthquakes links and seismo links.

Thanks.

Seismograms page for stations in Germany now added to the seismos page as well.

Found more links if you want them,one beeing a Site with alot of Seismos for Middle-Germany,which is the most interesting for me.

The more i search,the more Seismos i find...i´m really suprised how many we have in Germany considering that there isn´t much activity here at all. Maybe it has to do with the Mining in the Past?

Edit: Forgot to add,could you look at the "HWTS" one please,whats up with this one? Too sensitive?

reply to post by Shenon


Hi Shenon, yes that is the 7.2 off Honshu going through so since the other recorders (2 I looked at) are not black then it may be a bit on the sensitive side.

Nice site that. Thanks again. Adding it to the seismo links now.


Done: qvsdata.wordpress.com...

I was just testing out the links that Shenon kindly provided and thought people might be interested in this one (which basically is the default value on the page: Dayplots except with the station changed to BUG

Voila microseisms back in Feb 2000.



Edit: I decided to see if these continue on the 25th. Do the excercise for your selves. And tell me what that black mess is!

Actually I will save you the trouble:

Actually,we seem to get a Swarm now and then ( Google-Translat ed LInk of Swarms in Saxony/East Germany as seen on this Map) I´m not sure if there are any Reports of Swarms in the other 2 though.

I´m just finding this out now by pure Luck...thats the first Time i heard about any such Activity near my Doorstep...

Interesting??

Magnitude ? (uncertain or not yet determined) - NEVADA

FAST CORONAL MASS EJECTION: A coronal mass ejection (CME) exploded from the vicinity of sunspot 1164 during the late hours of March 7th. It leapt away from the sun traveling ~2200 km/s, making it the fastest CME since Sept. 2005. A movie of the cloud prepared by Karl Battams of the Naval Research Lab shows a possibly substantial Earth-directed component. This CME and at least one other could brush against Earth's magnetic field on March 9th or 10th. High-latitude sky watchers should be alert for auroras.

I will be as polite as I possibly can be. None of this is directed at you Zachi.

I hate that idiot. He is nothing but a scaremonger and has not got a clue and unfortunately seems to have time to do nothing else but make You Tube videos - badly.

Yes that software looks good, the problem is the idiot working it. Anyone got a gun?

Hmmmm....this is a wierd one. Kinda.

I'm pretty new to keeping track of Flares and CME's so was surprised to read this on Spaceweather
"After four years without any X-flares, the sun has produced two of the powerful blasts in less than one month: Feb. 15th and March 9th."

So X class are pretty rare then

Well that discounts any connection with earthquakes here on Earth then, because there have been heaps of quakes above Mag 7 in the last 4 years
