8.9 (updated 8.7) QUAKE off the coast of Sumatra! Oh my......

reply to post by PuterMan


Much appreciate your refs re the amount of energy.

Do you have an equivalent illustration available . . .

e.g.

moving what size mountain how far in what time = 500 pj energy?

AND

perhaps = to how many Hiroshima sized bombs?

No reports yet of any building damage ??

The new normality of today is earthquakes higher then 8 on the scale
and i really think sadly that it will get worst

Been a long time since US wasnt hit a big one
California is long over due
at least they are prepared
all skyscrapers can balance to absorb the shockwaves

Here is a short updateof that even. With 3 locations specified with wave height compared to normal sea level. This is also NOT necessarily going to stay the same either. The heights might increase as it moves closer to land.

MEASUREMENTS OR REPORTS OF TSUNAMI WAVE ACTIVITY

GAUGE LOCATION LAT LON TIME AMPL PER
------------------- ----- ------ ----- --------------- -----
DART 23401 8.9N 88.5E 0956Z 0.03M / 0.1FT 06MIN
MEULABOH ID 4.1N 96.1E 0950Z 0.27M / 0.9FT 14MIN
SABANG ID 5.8N 95.3E 0956Z 0.31M / 1.0FT 08MIN

LAT - LATITUDE (N-NORTH, S-SOUTH)
LON - LONGITUDE (E-EAST, W-WEST)
TIME - TIME OF THE MEASUREMENT (Z IS UTC IS GREENWICH TIME)
AMPL - TSUNAMI AMPLITUDE MEASURED RELATIVE TO NORMAL SEA LEVEL.
IT IS ...NOT... CREST-TO-TROUGH WAVE HEIGHT.
VALUES ARE GIVEN IN BOTH METERS(M) AND FEET(FT).
PER - PERIOD OF TIME IN MINUTES(MIN) FROM ONE WAVE TO THE NEXT.

NOTE - DART MEASUREMENTS ARE FROM THE DEEP OCEAN AND THEY
ARE GENERALLY MUCH SMALLER THAN WOULD BE COASTAL
MEASUREMENTS AT SIMILAR LOCATIONS.

8.6 off the west coast of northern sumatra 2012-04-11 08:38:37 2.311°N 93.063°E 22.9

Notice the three most recent quakes, occuring within an hour of the 8.7, all come from Alaska...
Isn't that where HAARP is located?

Is me thinking that Earthquakes are larger these days based on myth or is there some reality to that? Because it seems they're getting bigger and more frequent.

Could well be and may be worth making a thread on the conspiracy of earthquakes,

There is just better detection now than in the past. There have always been very large quakes. For the entire history of the world.

Nevermind, that was the magnitude of the 2004 quake

The ring of fire is always shaking, I think that we just get to hear about them more these days with media and internet,
www.worldatlas.com...

I guess the bit we may be forgetting about more so is if this shakes up the volcano's a bit

Also here's a quite interesting history of quakes in Indonesia,

earthquake.usgs.gov...

Buoys in the Bay of Bengal showing a .6 meter wave. This would be much larger breaking onshore

3.51pm: The Pacific tsunami warning centre has said that the tsunami alert for 28 countries remains in effect, and has also said that a 17cm wave is heading towards Aceh, which is not very large. However the speed of the wave is not yet known.

3.44pm: Reports coming in that water is receding along the coast of Phuket, which is a cause of worry. The airport on the southern Thai island of Phuket has also been closed. The Malaysian met department advises people living in coastal areas to evacuate and tells them to get to higher ground.

www.firstpost.com...

Has anyone on the board claim they predicted this quake or had a dream about it yet?

They said its a 6 metre hitting Aceh.
