Quake Watch 2012

www.space.com...

Something doesn't jive with the Central American quakes. ON Equador's seismos there is a difference. But it may be location. Whatever. This activity is really giving Central America a workout. Columbia was shaking and now the volcano. Definate clustering and I think something big will happen before it's all over. Not sure what though. Also, Tennessee has had a swarm happening. They get them there. And those bendy mountains are something marvelous. So, maybe it's natural. Maybe

Woah. I thought to myself. Again we have a couplet. No real disernable mainshock. This is similiar to the two 8's off Indonesia.

Yeah the NAZCA Plate has been taking a hammering for the last month alright.
USGS, or even RAS don't show the full picture.

LDEO seem to have a handle on the Oceanic quakes.
Heres the map I updated this morning, add in the 2 Panama quake this afternoon and these ones
2012 6 3 17 14 40.0 -36.75 -99.75 33.0 4.9 SOUTHEAST OF EASTER ISLAND
2012 6 3 14 36 48.0 -3.75 -102.75 33.0 5.1 CENTRAL EAST PACIFIC RISE
2012 6 3 14 14 56.0 -3.50 -102.50 33.0 4.9 CENTRAL EAST PACIFIC RISE
2012 6 3 11 39 44.0 -21.75 -68.75 33.0 5.1 CHILE-BOLIVIA BORDER REGION

an its almost like the NAZCA Plate is about to pop out of its socket


GMaps interactive version
I do think LDEO is calling the shots correctly, I have seen a lot of those quakes they list on LISS SNZO graph (before it did a wobbly and went all fuzzy over the last 2-3 days) but the other Networks are not posting them.

EMSC

What has struck me is that with recent 6+ earthquakes and around that is that often they are on the same (or close to it) lateral lines across the earth.

eg Quakes in Honshu in Japan also right across the lateral line towards Northern Italy

Big quake earlier in Panama - quake now being reported on opposite side of the Pacific in Indonesia.

Maybe this is just too simplistic but just observing Iris Seismic Global Map

On a totally different tack I was about to make a thread about TEC residuals that are showing around Easter Island. I still will but you map was of great interest especially the ones south of Easter Island.




Here you go: TEC residuals

www.abovetopsecret.com...

I know this comment is a bit out of the flow at the moment, but I must say that there is a full moon today.

I wake up and BAM!..... three 6 mags.

And I do not think it is over. I have a feeling a lot of energy will be released today.

If you ignore the two off Panama, things would be relatively quiet. So, with them, it's kinda normal. Wait, the earth has shaken. Mr. Tra La La has died. I've given up thinking the Italian quake was not a couplet. Either with the equal "aftershock", and/or with Bulgaria. Earthquakes are normal all over Italy. Even Rome has had many and they are not on a faultline.

www.time.com...

But I can forget about Italy for the moment. The thing that is really starting to circle in my mind is Tennessee.
East of the Rockies, there is practically nothing except Tennessee on the radar. There's one small one smack dab in the middle of the New Madrid. Otherwise, it's super quiet. Even when the clustering stops, on a smaller scale, there's still a cluster of mini-quakes in a mini-swarm.

Sorry. Ignore this. Just thinking outloud. Considering all the moderate earthquakes that have recently shaken the Eastern United States, we've covered all the directions on the compass. First we started in the middle.

Arkansas. I wish I was paid a nickel for everytime I've written that name. Arkansas is ground zero. Then if I remember correctly, we had the west and then we got the eastern quake in Virgina.

Wait, although the north did have a quake, was it big enough to be included? It was man-made. It did reach a magnitude of 4. That may means we're still short on the north end.

i looked but i guess i missed it. another quake in northern italy on sunday?? 5.1?

Updated Map coming later

I can see why LDEO magnitudes seem high, being based on the S waves. Having experienced many earthquakes myself, the P wave is the noise (like a train coming, and slight movement, a few seconds to brace youself) then the S wave hits and things go bang/ shake/ wobble/ crash

Yeah I thought that too, it happens enough that the connection cannot be discounted.

heads up

affect the coast from Batemans Bay to Port Macquarie, including Sydney Harbour and the Cooks River. State Emergency Services Commissioner Murray Kear says residents should prepare now. "The main issue is those strong winds, 100km/h - that's going to cause some damage certainly to trees and some buildings tomorrow," Commissioner Kear told 702 Drive with Annabel Crabb. "We might also on top of that, also experience the highest tide recorded, on record. "They are already seeing a 20cm height difference in the tides already, so tomorrow on top of what will already be a high tide and five to seven-metre waves expected along that coast, as the east coast low moves up the coast."

Yeah its battendownthehatches here on NZ North Island West Coast as well, predicting 140kmph winds this afternoon for Cook Strait/ Wellington area (where I live). 100kmph is "acceptable" and a PITA, 140 is outrageous!
Looks like I got another 2 days off work, just had a long weekend (Queens B'day)
Doesn't help the bank balance though

Snow in the South Island too, Southern Ocean Cold front colliding with that one from Australia.

edit on 4-6-2012 by muzzy because: (no reason given)

nor the monitoring equipment,,,so where were these set up?

and thats kilometers ,,right dont forget,, some will see 140mph

The trouble is that then you get a supermoon and nothing happens!

Don't forget that for all mag 6 quakes I gather all this stuff - and am getting a bit quicker at it but I still have a huge number to catch up.

All lunar celestial data is now complete having spent all day so far on this! Guess I had better do some work now.

LOL its too bad all the info you organized is awesome and much appreciated, its just a shame all the info keeps adding more confusion and more questions to earthquake causes and predictability...

just another eye opener to the fact we are at mother natures mercy.

You don't understand my screams. They make Munch's so called The Scream seem like the dude has a tooth ache. Mine is much more anguished. I see that little square right there on the land of Texas. How could such a little thing be any bother really? So's I checks. The google map thingy is a wonder. I float down from the clouds and see the giant red marker sticking into some random town in the Lone Star State. How could it be man made when the epicenter is in the middle of the town? It must be tectonic and totally natural faulting.

I was about to ascend back up into heaven, gladdened to now know that all is all right in the world. But no. I saw those fuc-hmmmin' freachin' fracking pads. Those white grey gravel pads stick out like measles on an albino. It's a fracking disease we gots. I hate us. Please beam up Scotty. I want to get the hell off of here and file my report. I got too much data and I can't hold together the narrative any longer. I've failed. I'll be moving back to the city where I will die like a dandelion in a parking lot at the roundup factory. It's only a matter of time. The fracking cars make that damned noise and belch that smog in my face. I can't hear myself think for the lawnmowers going all the time.

That reminds me. I promised a nieghbour I'd cut their grass for them.

To and fro
where do they go
i don't know
i'm sure it's to the sugar shack
they'll be back with loads of consumer consumables
and then we'll drive back to the store to get the stuff that came in on a train that came on a giant boat that came all the way from china-but first the raw materials had to come
all the way from sudan and elsewhere. nigeria...
elsewhere
vrooomm vrooooom

i'm being driven to distraction
i'm being driven mad

here's some words of wisdom to live by, don't say i never gave you anything.

be careful and always double check before you leave, because they always frack you when you go through the drive thru....

6.1 mb converts to 6.28 Mw, but 6.3 Ml (jma) converts to 6.16 Mw so should be a 6.2 Mw or thereabouts.

EDIT:

USGS says 5.8 Mw

That is just BS. What the hell are they playing at?


Precisely as predicted EMSC converted to 6.2 Mw now. USGS have this wrong yet again IMO.

GFZ Potsdam has 6.1
