March 20th-22nd quake watch thread for 188 day quake theory

I know there is a quake watch thread for 2012, and I know there are a few threads about the 188 day cycle going on right now. However if the MODS approve, I'd like a place just for the next 2 days, to report quakes in the following specific areas.

---------------------------------------------
It seems that Mexico is having fluctuating aftershocks, and of course there is some speculation that this is a foreshock.

We also have quite a few small quakes happening on the north pacific rim, near Alaska.

Last month, we had reports from True American that there was some activity near the Cascadia.

New Madrid is really the big kahuna that people are holding their breathe waiting for - and they are currently experiencing some small quakes.

And there is (not quite out of the norm) some activity in Indonesia.
----------------------------------------------

The different theories, place the "major quake" either in the US or somewhere on the Pacific, or on the rim. If we REALLY want to try to give credit to this 188 day theory, we can't just go gaga over the first big quake CLOSE to the 188th day. That's why I think, instead of losing the quakes among already moving threads, we should use this thread centrally so that if a quake happens, we can all look at it and say "yup, that's the one".

Again, if MODS approve, if not, kindly remove.

Just pop over to the 'Quake Watch' thread. People report all of the things you mentioned, especially when a larger quake occurs.

This is like.... an experiment.. And I don't want the quakes from these specific locations, both small and large, to get lost among a sea of posts.

can i call bs on this one. we just had a quake around the same size as mexicos quake.
here is the thread to the predictions of that quake

www.abovetopsecret.com...

and here is the quake info.

earthquake.usgs.gov...

im not to up in arms about finding a quake pattern.
just looking for a sound theory.

There are also a couple of small quakes in the New Madrid area since the Mexico quake........Missouri and Tennessee just a little while ago.....and a swarm on the coast of Cali...I think a couple were mag 4s.

Looking at the USGS site this week has been crazy on the West Coast and up off of Alaska.

Just checked the intellicast earthquake map and there were 4 small quakes in Tennessee in the past few hours and one in Missouri. I'm watching the west coast though. I saw a youtube video where a guy said this would happen (a big quake) on the 20th thru the 22nd......don't know if I really believe in predictions, but the video he made was from last month I think and he said that...I'll try to find it.

Are the small quakes in the New Madrid area normal?

According to this map there have been 861 quakes since last week just in the US. Mostly California, the northwest, and Alaska.

At 11:02 AM there was a 7.4 in Oaxaca Mexico. Anyone have any news on that one? Not sure if its significant, im new to the earth quake stuff.

Yes there have been a few minor quakes popping up around the Madrid area ever since the Mexico quake today.
I have been watching that close as I live in the Madrid area.

It was significant in the scheme of things, and considering at least 800 homes have collapsed. It spawned the creation of this thread. There have been at least 6 significant aftershocks since the quake as well.

I'm just now seeing them. Anybody got a link where I can see real time other than the USGS site?

reply to post by My.mind.is.mine


I see them from time to time (the small New Madrid quakes), but it's just odd that they popped up right after that and they are on the main fault. I don't know if it means anything, it just got my attention though. Here's that video. Like I said I don't really buy into predictions, but this guy made this video in February, and he predicted a big quake in the U.S. or MEXICO.....hmmmmmmm I hope the rest of it is wrong!

reply to post by SahaniWaya


I know, it makes me a little nervous....I think if something happens it will be California....all kinds of little quakes along the coast since the Mexico one and a couple of mag 4s.

I go to intellicast.....when one happens it shows up on there pretty fast. At the top of the map, just click the earthquake button (the one with the little seismograph pic on it.), then you can zoom in and out.

That's perfect. See, California and the Anchorage area are rocking. I know that's normal but I did say ALL quakes.. lol

This site works for me,fun to play with

Just to give a little visual...this is a map generated from 1/01/2011 to today(3/20/2012). Small quakes are frequent. This map was generated showing 1.0 to 8.0 magnitudes only. I am sure there are more tiny quakes that occur daily.

Oh and....Post number 150! Yay!lol


For some reason its not showing...but this is in response to your question on new madrid quakes around TN.
