Quake Watch 2015

further to post by: muzzy about Swarm at Lake Rotoaira
64 count now


previous swarms in this area
June 2009 Swarm the biggest
Bing interactive map
Not happy with Bing!, the map is only showing 55 of the 64 events, the last one on the map list is the last one on the file, they must select some at random and drop them!
I noticed this on the Japan Bing maps too, not always the claimed max 200 quakes showing when there are 200+ lines on the file.

Heads up ........sizable quake coming to this area any minute now!

it does not look like much but that will soon change.

Maybe ruapehu is getting ready for an eruption.I was down in hautu when she went off in 96-7 and it was a bit .

a reply to: hiddenNZ
yeah I remember that eruption, we could see the plume from Kapiti.
Rotoaira/ Turangi/ Sth Lake Taupo get a lot of earthquake swarms eh
To be expected on the edge of a super volcano I guess

a reply to: muzzy
Yep,pretty scary when you are sitting in the local clink,and the guvs didnt want to move us out of the area,there was nearly a riot,lol.

looks like we got a special&intense(for that region) Earthquake right here:

Magnitude ML 4.6
Region PYRENEES
Date time 2015-10-29 00:37:48.4 UTC
Location 42.39 N ; 3.21 E
Depth 10 km

looked for the EQ history in that region and can't find anything higher than 4.6:

Here is a bit more detailed map (NZ Topo)

I did a page on it too.here
66 events now, but Bing is only showing 57, not sure what that is about, bloody useless.
looks like it was just a short burst this morning
may come back and do it again, that is how Rotoaira rolls

Hello, folks.

I hesitate.

We must realize that Idaho is related to Nevada/Oregon. Again, within a half hour of each, they are active with slightly larger earthquakes. This time 'round Idaho beat Nevada to the punch. So, it isn't always Idaho replying to Nevada. There are both being influenced by the same thing.

Idaho 2.4M
Nevada 3.9M

There's only one answer.
But I'm repeating myself I'm sure. I resisted the urge yesterday, to post an article on some guy who says the moon has been causing earthquakes. But then today, I see the long pattern of swarms that are quite possibly somehow, maybe, well...

Just to correct myself. This Idaho earthquake is not in the same area exactly near Challis.

Mt. Rainier continues to be active:

I was just thinking earlier in the week "China hasn't had a moderate-strong quake for a while"
5.1, 2015-10-30 11:26:41.0, 25.11N,99.58E, 10, YUNNAN, CHINA
www.emsc-csem.org...
Looking at EMSC (because their search is the easiest to use)
the last M5 in ALL of China was;
2013-04-22, 5.1, EASTERN NEI MONGOL, CHINA

thats a long time between.

a reply to: muzzy
Actually no, EMSC is as useless as USGS when it comes to searching by place, they have their own area names which are different than the Flinn–Engdahl regions. i selected all the names that had China in them, but obviously it wasn't full coverage.
This was the last M5+ in China, I got it from CENC database, what a mission that was, they have changed all the addresses of the pages I had saved, I had to translate whole pages to find the one I was looking for.

Up late packing, just popped on the computer to check the earthquakes, and came straight away to see how you fared Muzzy.

Everything okay in Kapitistan?

a reply to: Olivine
yeah all OK thanks, quite a ways off from here
a good rocker though, nothing fell over

11 aftershocks up till noon today NZDT

not on any previously known Fault
If you zoom right in on the NZ Topo Map to 1km scale you will see that this earthquake occured within....
"ARMY TRAINING AREA
INTERMITTENT LIVE FIRING
UNAUTHORISED ENTRY PROHIBITED"
Waiouru
Tracking the aftershocks shows a Fault 6.7km long in a SWtoNE direction sort of following the SE base of the Stowman Range
