Thank you BeatSymphonic.

-- info was already stated

i ask to assist ..need to know if its ok to place here already made 3 post and dont know if it shows

DID fishes warn Japanese people before the earthquake?
dailycosmicnews.blogspot.com...

I would greatly appreciate anybody that can verify the following simple information. It is important to me to get the facts.


On April 11th, I recently checked the USGS website for the first time this year, to see a list of earthquake activity in the last 30 days.

When I checked the the USGS link that provides the data for the "Past 8-30 days"(world-wide) it WRONGLY SHOWED data for March 9th through to March 31st, when it should have instead displayed data from March 13th to April 4th.

The data for April 1st/2nd/3rd/and 4th, were not available on either the "Past 7 days (M5+)" link NOR on the "Past 8-30 days" link when I checked late night April 11th.

Did anybody else notice that on April 11th, and perhaps April 9th to April 11th, that the "the Past 8-30 days" link was NOT properly updated? and if so, is it common for that USGS link to show the wrong range of dates(8-30) for several days at a time?

Thanks in advance.

It's hard to know for sure. The Japanese carp were being very coy.

The giant UFO looks to me like a high speed train in the far background. Looks about like the correct speed and length.

Ive been following USGS closely ive even talke to the guys its in dailycosmicnews.blogspot.com regarding the increase activity on the ring of fire, and nothing was wrong with the site and i check daily every 2 hours

Even while knowing the quakes are far from over, they decide to re-build.

...good for them, but it will probably be destroyed again.

Were you focusing your attention mainly on the "last 7 days of activity" link or did you often visit the "Past 8-30 Days" link( neic.usgs.gov... ) ?. I don't believe the data was wrong, but that the link was showing the wrong time frame: on April 11th when I checked it was showing the "Past 12 to 34 Days" instead of 8-30 and I even saved that page to my computer so that I could have access to March 9th/10th/11th quake data which would no longer be on that page as the following three days pass by.

Are you absolutely confident that the "8-30 days" page moved along accurately and timely each day with April 11th displaying data for "March 13th to April 4th" and on April 10th that page displaying data for "March 12th to April 3rd" etc....?? Because of that issue when I checked neither page displayed data for April 1st through the 4th.

Wait a sec....you talked to the guy at dailycosmic.blogspot.com ? your name here is "dailycosmic" you just want to plug your site with your answer to my question. Thank you for your reply anyway.

Better take a look at this:

“There’s quite a bit of real estate on which stress has increased, by our calculations,” said U.S. Geological Survey geophysicist Ross Stein. “The possibility of getting large, late aftershocks to the north and south of the main shock is real.” Stein and two colleagues, including lead author Shinji Toda of Kyoto University, are not making a formal prediction of another big earthquake. But their research paper, which has been submitted to the journal Earth, Planets and Space, contends that the magnitude-9.0 “Tohoku earthquake” (Tohoku is the region in northern Japan closest to the epicenter) shifted stress to the north and south, including onto a section of the Japan Trench east of Tokyo. “That section of the subduction zone is clearly loaded,” said Chris Goldfinger, an Oregon State University seismologist who was not part of the new research. “It will take probably a decade before this aftershock sequence is over,” Stein said. “The watchword in Tokyo should be long-term vigilance. Nobody should think this should go away in a few weeks or a few months.”

and this:

During the past month, the aftershocks have decreased in number and will continue to do so. But scientists say the range of magnitudes does not change, and thus a large aftershock, or even another “main shock” on a nearby fault, is possible. Hanging over Japan is the worrisome example of Indonesia. Three months after the Dec. 26, 2004, magnitude-9.1 quake that generated a catastrophic tsunami, the adjacent segment of the fault broke again, this time in a magnitude-8.7 earthquake. The fault system has since generated several more powerful earthquakes

hey kubacs, thanks for the quotes. I really appreciate people who actively seek things that directly contribute to the topic. You keep doing that, and people will notice. They will seek your posts if they know you usually provide something valuable.

They are talking about this spot, which I pointed out some time ago in my other thread that is getting overloaded due to lack of stress relief from a quake there:



That whole right side of the line where you see no quakes.

So does it mean that when and if that red spot starts showing activity, we are likely going to have a big one in the whole Tokyo area?? It looks like it....

Yup. And again and again and again. I suppose that is the proud east Asian way. Just forget the fact your people have been in danger from the beginning, to choose such a precarious spot sitting on top of the juncture of four major tectonic plates. There will be no end to the destruction and tragedy as long as they continue living there.

Thanks for the reply, and umm, I like your avatar.

Well not necessarily. But if there is a big one in that red spot to relieve the pressure, you are going to have your hands full anyway. The more pressing concern is the possibility of a big one down on the lower red line, which can send a tsunami crashing into Tokyo Bay. The mechanism for it exists, as was shown somewhere around here, not sure, either this thread or the other one.

@ Sarako: So, what I can provide is supporting evidence to what TA has been saying. Scientists are now finally catching up to him publicly. Don't 'know" what will happen there. Can only go on information and evidence. I would leave if I lived near or around Tokyo, but that's a judgment call. Here's links to the full stories of my posts on both threads, which I hope you find helpful. Pay attention to what they say about the south and Tokyo. I wish you well during this difficult time.

Japan Mulls to Move Capital over Disaster Worries
April 14, 2011

As powerful earthquakes continue to jolt Japan and radiation levels near Tokyo are rising, the Asian country's authorities are considering moving the capital to another city.

The most probable location for a new capital are Osaka and Nagoya, according to ITAR-TASS. Both cities are located near international airports.

The main conditions the new capital has to provide are a population over 50 000 and a sufficient capacity to accommodate the parliament, the government, the Emperor's residency and the foreign diplomatic missions.

According to experts, should a 7.2 magnitude earthquake shake Tokyo, the casualties will be around 11 000, some 210 000 will be injured and the material damage will be worth about USD 1 B

2 quakes at 5.9 M - 4 hours ago in Tonga, 9 hours ago near the coast of Nicaragua. Don't think this round is over yet.

quakes.globalincidentmap.com...
Friday April 15 2011, 02:06:27 UTC 4 hours ago Tonga 5.9 10.3
Thursday April 14 2011, 20:50:19 UTC 9 hours ago near the coast of Nicaragua 5.9 56.2

The Italian Embassy in Japan, (maybe like many other embassies) sends daily or regular newsletters to all the Italians in Japan to inform and update them of the current situation in Fukushima, radiation levels, etcc....etc....

I was extremely surprised by the newsletter I received today. THeir website is only in Italian and Japanese.

I briefly translated the contents of the newsletter, see below (I didn`t know how to put my translation in a different font/colour for better comprehension) anyway....what really surprised me is that they are talking, actually mentioning and warning people about a possible TOKAI earthquake. They are even suggesting that people should move into apartments built after 1981.

I find this very strange. Not something you would write in a letter issued by the embassy.

Why would they want toeven talk about this Tokai EQ? They actually go to the point of warning people and inciting them to move to new buildings, built after 1981. It`s one thing to talk about it here on ATS, but when you get an official letter from an embassy, of course, vague....but actually touching the subject...it really makes you think....Weird...Makes you think that the `probable` Tokai EQ that they say could happen in the next 30 years, might just actually be just a few days away.....

Rischio sismico


Ad un briefing del Quartier Generale per la Ricerca sui Terremoti (HERP), istituto affiliato al Ministero della Pubblica Istruzione, Ricerca, Scienza e Technologia (MEXT), è stato presentato un quadro generale della valutazione dei rischi sismici in Giappone per il medio e lungo periodo. Questi studi forniscono delle stime probabilistiche sull'occorrenza di terremoti di forte intensità lungo le fosse oceaniche e lungo le principali faglie attive nelle regioni orientali dell'arcipelago giapponese.

REcently, HERP ( Earthquake Research Centre HQ) , affiliated with `MEXT` (Ministry of Education, research, Science and Technology). had a meeting concerning Japan`s EQ risks in the mid and long term. The result of their studies produced possibilities of high intensity EQs occuring along the fragile eastern regions of the Japanese archipelago.


La principale conclusione riguarda la stima già nota sull'elevata probabilità (70%) che nei prossimi 30 anni si verifichino eventi sismici di magnitudo compresa fra 6.7 e 7.2 nella regione del Kanto meridionale che include, tra l’altro, l’area metropolitana di Tokyo. La HERP ritiene che tali eventi sismici dovrebbero tuttavia avere un impatto limitato sulle abitazioni construite dopo la revisione del 1981 della Legge sull’edilizia che ha introdotto criteri antisismici stringenti. La HERP stima che meno del 2% di tali edifici subiranno danni in conseguenza di terremoti della massima intensità' prevista (7 sulla scala giapponese). Altri terremoti di elevata magnitudo sono da tempo considerati come possibili nelle regioni del Tokai (Ovest di Tokyo), Tonankai (Sud-Ovest di Tokyo) e Nankai (al largo dell’isola di Shikoku).

The main conclusion relates to the elevated probability (70%) ofa 6.7/7.2 EQ occuring in the metropolitan area, within the next 30 yrs.

HERP however believes that such an event will have a limited effect on buildings constructed after 1981, when strict anti-EQ regulations were put into place. HERP believes that less than 2% of these buildings will suffer damage as a consequence of an expected intensity of 7 (on the Japanese scale).

Other EQs of a high magnitude are considered possible in the Tokai region (west of Tokyo, ) Tonankai( southwest Tokyo) and Nankai (off the island of Shikoku).

Nonostante la fonte di queste valutazioni sia una istituzione governativa, la validità di questi modelli e delle previsioni che ne conseguono sono oggetto di dibattito all’interno della comunità scientifica. In ogni caso, è opinione consensuale che la scienza sismica non permette al momento di effettuare previsioni deterministiche sugli eventi sismici.

We are well aware of the fact that all these `predictions` are a subject of debate within the scientific community even though the source of these evaluations and forecasts stem from a government body/institution).

Ai connazionali che risiedono a Tokyo si raccomanda di accertare che gli edifici residenziali e gli uffici in cui normalmente vivono e lavorano siano stati costruiti dopo il 1981 e comunque rispettino le norme antisismiche in vigore.

We advise our fellow (Italian) nationals to make sure that they are residing in building/offices built after 1981 which comply with the anti-seismic laws applied at that time.

I watch Iris fairly regularly... its a great quick visual of the world's quakes, but today it lit up like a Christmas tree
