Quake Watch 2012

reply to post by Olivine


Wow thats crazy looking at that cam.... a few weeks ago, maybe over a month ago, there was a small similar eq swarm in that same area... not the la area but the westmorland area.... it was busy for a day or so and then stopped.... this one may do the same thing?? who knows....

Yes, this is very worrisome and I've been on edge since my headache started Tuesday.. I don't even want to mention this but here we have this swarm worrying about what's going to happen, then, we tropical storm Isaac gearing up to become a cat 2 hurricane heading for New Orleans on the seven year anniversary of Katrina - heading straight to Parish LA sink hole next to the I forget off the top of my head how much butane that They are worried about exploding... You just can't make this stuff up... going to be an interesting week indeed.

Thank you!!!!!

I'm just in awe of what's taking place. Wish PM or Muzzy, and even John would be ok any minute to chime in and say ladies, calm down already! Lol

I wonder how many quakes they have had in the last two hours now? Hundreds?

Thanks for the updates guys! You all are always ontop of it.

Stay safe, and keep the updates rolling.

earthquake-report.com...

Probably meaningless.. but the history of those approx coords of 32/33-115

2010 - 7.2
2010 - 5.7 (aftershock)

1987 - 6.6

1979 - 6.5

1940 - 6.9

1915 - 6.3

My goodness.... I just watched that needle jumping for a good 20 seconds. Waiting to see what magnitude that was....

Yeah, they can't keep up! I can't wait to hear what Mr. Vidale has to say about today!

I'm looking for the history of swarms there so we can compare but not having much luck... Anyone know or possibly reading any material on it right now?

I wonder if it's volcanic related?

Here comes another big one.
I think we can definitely dub this as "Notable"

Thought this interesting volcanic Salton Buttes in that area.

Oh damn you. I didn't need ANOTHER 2 tabs open to read about this. lol

Here is a good read... www.usatoday.com...

There is a lot of news in 2009, I believe because the area was swarming then but it seems as though it was not swarming at all like today. I'm still looking.

"As long as it stays underground, I'm not afraid," Jimmy Mason said. "But if anything starts bubbling or popping, I'll be out of here quick."

Here's another link on the Salton Buttes volcanic area.
