Quake Watch 2013

reply to post by Olivine

While the USGS will continue to monitor and report on earthquake activity, the accuracy or timeliness of some earthquake information products, as well as the availability or functionality of some web pages, could be affected

So basically little change from normal then

Just noticed the Oklahoma quakes, is that normal? Seems a bit odd for the area, but you guys watch it more than i do.

West coast going berserk at the moment.

9.7 Earthquake Coming to West Coast USA on Oct 3, 2013

Situation at Tjörnes Fracture Zone is getting interesting, 235 quakes in last 48 hours, strongest quakes 3.2 and 3.1.



I find it weird that the epicenter of quakes isn't moving anywhere, usually they follow the fault for any direction. The epicenter for quakes has been in that same place for week already. Also, it should cause quakes at Grimsey Lineament bit NE from current location. This almost seems like volcanic. There could be magma intrusion in that place.

And seems like there was mb 5.1 earthquake in Reykjanes Ridge:
Magnitude mb 5.1
Region REYKJANES RIDGE
Date time 2013-10-01 19:41:31.0 UTC
Location 55.80 N ; 34.76 W
Depth 2 km

By the way, I found this:
Tjörnes Fracture Zone:earthquake swarm as result of possible magma intrusion

An intense earthquake swarm has been going on offshore North Iceland, 10 km NW of Gjögurtá, since 25 September. This morning, 2 earthquakes reaching magnitude 3 and 3.2 occurred at 06:14 and 07:41. In total, more than 1000 quakes have been recorded by IMO.
The depths of the quakes vary from about 15 km depth (crust-mantle boundary) to near surface. The area is located on an active fault line related to rifting, and a possible cause of the earthquake swarm could be a magmatic intrusion.

Sorry for the delay in responding.
I've been searching the nooks and crannies of the interwebs for a more complete, robust, one-stop portal for (English-language) geophysical data (near real-time and historical) and research.

Besides IRIS*, I didn't find anything comparable.
Do you have a link to a better alternative?

*IRIS support comes from the United States National Science Foundation, other US agencies, universities and private foundations. It is managed from Washington D.C. with operation provided by universities in cooperation with the USGS.


Yes, sometimes their 1st, 2nd and even 3rd determinations of magnitudes may be off the mark. But at least they review and make corrections when needed.
I use USGS resources daily and am happy to have my tax dollars fund them. (That is, whenever this do-nothing Congress gets off their collective arses and funds them)

BTW, the latest install Data Pro is working fine.

Lately, when I'm talking to myself, I go one step further and I try to make my voice go much further. Out in to space to be specific. At this point, I'm begging the mother ship to come pick me up. I've gone enough gathering of information and I can make a full report. There are few mysteries for me to solve here. The moon comes from giant volcanoes- etc...

The simple fact is that I want off the merry-go-round. Because-

I've seen enough of this ...
to know that humans will usher in their own demise
and in Spain, and Oklahoma, etc...
they are trying to hasten the job and bring about a disaster
Fracking and injection will cause a major earthquake soon

"
A small earthquake struck Spain 's east coast on Tuesday, the strongest ever measured in the area, just days after the government halted work on a big offshore gas storage plant following hundreds of recent minor tremors.

Spain's National Geographic Institute said the earthquake at 0532 local time measured 4.2 magnitude, the strongest yet in the region around the Gulf of Valencia, a zone not normally known for seismic activity.

The government last week ordered a stop to injections of gas into the European Investment Bank-backed Castor storage plant, while scientists..."



You see this chart?



It's Oklahoma. And those earthquakes are not mother nature.

This is the Haliburton loop hole. And it's creating holes all over America. Dick Cheney's legacy.
Hell may have a special place for his man. If I were to believe in such things.
But I don't.
But I will ask my people when they come pick me up to make one more stop. We'll hit Wyoming and find Dick before he's dead. We'll fly him around and talk about the mess he's made.

This earthquake is bit out of place

Magnitude M 4.4
Region AUSTRIA
Date time 2013-10-02 17:17:35.0 UTC
Location 47.97 N ; 16.47 E
Depth 5 km

is it just me or do we indeed have some off-place quakes this week? Spain, Austria, Zambia (not sure on this)?

www.abovetopsecret.com...

Well, today is the day for a 24 hour period. Just thought I would bring it to everyone's attention so we can nervously keep our fingers crossed.

Does seem to be a little bit more active today, but not by much!

OK, it still has 2.5 hours to go. No, it is not that I am senile, it is Thursday in my part of the world. So starting from 2.5 hours from now we have a 24 hour window. If nothing happens we can assume these religious people getting messages from above are not really getting messages from above.

God help us if something does happen. (Pun intended)

Mag 5.9 Canada 2013-09-04 00:23:12 UTC

Was 5.9, and still is on the USGS web page at present, but has been upgraded to a Mag 6 in the 30 day lists.

Another one under the deep blue sea?????

Two magnitude 3,0+ quakes in Tjörnes Fracture Zone in 1 hour! There is something violent happening. There isn't volcano there, but there might be forming one. There is likely magma intrusion going on right now. No news about sulphur smell or anything like that yet. I would send boats to see the situation.

one-stop portal

May I make the observation that one should not place all their eggs in one receptacle and that to do so may lead to a one sided or myopic view of the world?

None of the providers are perfect. QVSData came about BECAUSE of that and the wish to provide more than one view of the world of earthquakes. Data should be sort from as many sources as possible and one should not be reliant on one alone.

To my mind such reliance is akin to being a mainstream media sop, and surely the fact that you are on ATS at all means you are not that. Why then consider referring to the MSM of the earthquake world alone?

I agree that the USGS has a good site, and I also agree that they are not perfect, but I would never ever entertain the idea that they or anyone else could become a one-stop portal for geophysical information.

Do USGS or any of the other MSGP (Main stream geophysical providers) consider such theories as the Electric Universe? Do they all believe vehemently in the dogma of the Church of Geology? Do they collectively have the ability to think beyond the confines of their dogma and the rigid tenets of their constricted education?

I think the answer to that is no - and therefore collectively they cannot be trusted. Anyone who is not free to think for themselves is a slave and promotes and worships the system.

Particularly what I object to about the USGS is the bizarre way that they stick to their guns on the public facing information when a little deeper digging reveals that they already have a different answer. You will not find that on other sites. If they change the moment tensor the information changes straight away and not thirty day later when no is looking. I don't mind if they all have a slightly different version, it is the manner of presenting that is the problem. As they would say in Scotland it is sneaked.

Maybe however I am senile? I thought the prophecy was that the earthquake would occur on the third.

the Lord told them a large earthquake is going to hit the west coast of the United States on Thursday, October 3, 2013

The question is does one compensate for the time difference? If the messages were received in the US does that mean it will be in the 3rd as the US perceives that? More to the point would this time not in fact be according to the time zone of the giver?

Since earthquakes are generally reported in UTC perhaps it should be that?

If nothing happens we can assume these religious people getting messages from above are not really getting messages from above.

Maybe the messages are from somewhere else. The divil (sic) is in the details!

When I made the post it was the 3rd in Australia and still the 2nd in LA. It is now 4.38am in LA so anytime soon, if it happens.

On a more serious note re the plate springing back that we talked about around 100 pages back, I have been waiting for a series of quakes that seem to be happening, gulp.

If I see any more on the NW section of British Columbia I will get serious. There are a whole series of quakes all in the 4 range right where they should be if the plate was going to spring back. These run from Japan down around the edge of the circle of fire. I have been watching for these as a precursor. Food for thought but probs just my over active imagination.

I think these are still connections to the earlier larger quakes. IF there is to be an imminent Cascadia big one then the action should probably be further down towards the centre of the zone. There is a triple, or is it quadruple, junction in the BC area which is bound to be sensitive to plate movement of the Pacific plate and there have been some big one on that plate of recent times.

Globally however the 52 week rolling mag 5 count continues to drop as it has been for a long time now and the rolling total is lower than it was before the ramp up to the 2004 Sumatran quake.

It is a concern. I know we look at different aspects and in a different way. I was not aware that the mag 5 count was quite that low. I just expected to see a pattern prior to the NE sector of the circle goes in a big way and I am starting to see that pattern. Time will tell. If it does go today I may have to start saying my nightly prayers.

I just had a look at the quakes as reported by Natural Resources Canada from 01 September to 03 October and it looks like this:

To me that looks like a relatively normal progression of quakes after a larger event, i.e. a normal aftershock sequence, but maybe I am not seeing something that you are?

ETA: To clarify what I am saying, this is a map of quakes as per the legend bottom left, provided by USGS on Google Earth. The area that I believe would be of concern as a precursor to the Cascadia quake would be that which I have ringed.

Maybe I am wrong in thinking this but this seems to me to be the place where a Mag 9 would occur.

Hi Puterman!

Accordnig to all the scientist that study on comment on the CSZ, you are correct with your circle. General thought is that it is most likely to start at the Southern end, off the shore of Northern Oregon and unzip to the North, ending at the Southern end of Vancouver Island.

What may be interest to you guys, is that right now we have a somewhat unusuall ETS (episodic tremor and slip) going on. First, it started a bit early and it is showing a different pattern than before. Granted, it has only been known about and studied for a I think less than a decade, but still, the pattern has changed from previous years. It's also had clusters of tremor on both the up-dip AND down-dip side of the locked zone right in the middle of puget sound, and vancouver island. These two clusters have appeared to migrate towards each other over the past week or two, and then yesterday there were three small quakes. One of them was on the down-dip side and the other two on the up-dip and were deep, so most likely in the locked zone. They were small, just 1.8, 2.5 and 2.8 I think.

This may all mean absolutely nothing, but thought you might find it interesting. I have been told by the director at the PNSN that they estimate a increase of about 10% for the 'big one' during an ETS, due to loading. While they find the current ETS of interest, no one claims to be alarmed by it.

Here is a screen shot I took last week...I haven't been able to upload pics here for the past few days.



Herei s a LINK for the current map. Best thing to do is select a spread and put in dates for the past month, by color.

I have noticed a few posts and some threads about something big happening in October. Didn't notice if anyone

else mentioned This.

This event is to take place on the 17th of October.

A lot of good information for anyone that's wants to be prepared.
