Tsunami anyone?

Very possible, especially locally.
Puterman, you may reach your mag 6.0+ EQ "prediction" quota for the year yet.

Maybe an undersea landslide? That shallow depth throws me.

Tsunami amyone?

Good lord, that's shallow as heck.
PuterMan, could this be a foreshock? It seems almost too shallow to be the main/only event, but then again, it could just be how the planet rolls once in a while. I'm not sure what to make of the depth at all. Do super-shallow quakes tend to have different aftershock patterns, how does it effect the plate along the boundaries like this one is near, etc? What do you think?

I am working on it!

One every other day will get close to it.

Just off to tweak HAARP a little

There's one I haven't heard before. Thank you for making my day with a new phrase to unleash on people!

So they're still trying to figure out the depth. OK, that makes more sense than an unusually near-surface earthquake of that strength.

I'm still laughing...

Here is a pic of seismicity in the area:



The USGS technical page shows this was a strike-slip quake.

You're so funny...As much as I think I'd like to really, truly understand this stuff, the conservation of angular momentum and the spatial derivatives of the Green's functions stomp right on my daydreams.

(I'm going to save it to my "learning file" anyway. I may tackle it someday, after I dig out my 20 year old calc and physics books, lol)

I'm trying not to excite myself to all the earthquakes in the Americas. This is a cluster all along the spine from Alaska and it's now seemingly headed south with two in the last bit in South America. Two 5M's in South America is nothing and I would be an idiot to suggest on their own they have some meaning. It's just the signal seems to be travelling 'all' along the spine. Like when you have back pain and you feel it in your head and in the heal of your foot. I'm sure it's nothing. And I'm sure I'm just thinking the eclipse in Australia means something as well.

It's Cleveland volcano erupting. Isn't that why it's shallow?

I mean.... look at this list of mag 5's so early in the day!!

Something is most surely happening on the east side of the ring of fire.

Man, this is a little scary!!

AS I stated before a few days ago, it seems that the whole of the East side of the Pacific is moving together. Just had a 6.0 in Chile and smaller one in Queen Charlotte. I think you can expect one of significant magnitude between Chile and Queen Charlotte any time. It would seem to me that when several small quakes occur that that would be the ground kind of settling.. Once the ground and material settle it is then time that the larger plate can move.

reply to post by PuterMan


Or as we say here in Australia "Up & down like a slut's undie's" (undie's being an Australian shortening of underpants)......back on topic.

I have been waiting for some time for the quakes in the Gulf of Alaska. Just thought I would mention that.

The 5 pointers and above, are coming every hour now. SEE the swarm at Central America!
The last two weeks alone the number of 6 and 7s is astounding.

Central Mid-Atlantic Ridge, 4.7 the other day.
Northern Mid-Atlantic Ridge, 4.8 & 4.9, tonight.

My memory is trying to remind me that this happened before,
before something significant in some other place???
But my brain is too tired & can't spit it out!!!

Also, increasing in size & all 10.1 km deep.
Some observer, I can't remember doodoo!!!
Have to give in & get some sleep....
WOQ

Well the actual expression we use is "up and down like a whore's drawers" but I thought perhaps our American friends might not understand that (but looking at the urban dictionary maybe they would). It rhymes much better!

reply to post by Mister1k


Did you mean 5 pointers? Looking at the last 24 hrs there are 7 which is only slightly above the daily average, and all the later ones gave been 4s.

I don't know about astounding. In my opinion it is not particularly so. It is about the same as in August. Maybe I just need to get more exited about things

Oh by the way, just in the interests of accuracy, the uppie downieness of the rumblings depends entirely upon whose stories you listen to. Here is the EMSC version. (Mostly going down!)

Your long patient vigil is over then!

Yep, The east end of the Ring of Fire is for sure compressed to max... (Probably why EAST Ky had the 4+ mag).
Very creepy.. I have a bad feeling a really big one is coming.. a mid 8, just south of Alaska. (in the water).

The compression is triggering small 'pops' in the midwest and even Maine and Canada as of late..
That stress has to be released.

edit on 13/11/2012 by PuterMan because: (no reason given)

The question is, do you still remember the conversation and why I have been watching for these. Cause if you did remember, you probably wouldn't be laughing, although you sense of humor is up and down all over the place! Ok my turn to laugh.
