Quake Watch 2016

a reply to: MamaJ

Lot of activity in that area.

earthquake.usgs.gov...#

Seems like maybe some stress release for other area's.

Just wanted to add: This is near Walker Lk, which as far as I can see, has some residential area just east.

I am praying this doesn't cause landslides.

I found this pretty cool link to EQ potential around Hawthorne NV.
According to the probablity map on the page,
it has the potential to kick off up to a 7.8
with 100% certainty of a 5.0 or bigger within 50 years.

In 1997 that area had a 4.4 a 3.9 and a 4.5 all in one day.
Anyways, lots of info on the surrounding area on the link.
I had fun looking at it.

Hawthorne, NV has a very high earthquake risk, with a total of 2,432 earthquakes since 1931. The USGS database shows that there is a 97.39% chance of a major earthquake within 50km of Hawthorne, NV within the next 50 years. The largest earthquake within 30 miles of Hawthorne, NV was a 7.1 Magnitude in 2016.

one in Western Australia, the same area as the 5.0 and 5.1 in May

Date and Time
UTC: 08 July 2016 @ 09:40:51
Location Norseman, WA. (Reported Felt).
Coordinates: -32.420, 122.447
Depth: 16 km
Magnitude
Mb: 5.5

www.abc.net.au...
A 5.5-magnitude earthquake has struck about 16 kilometres underground in Western Australia's south.
According to GeoScience Australia the tremor occurred at 5.40pm in the Norseman area, 720 kilometres east of Perth.
The epicentre was beneath an uninhabited area, in the Dundas Nature Reserve.
Geoscience Australia said any damage would only have been within a 22-kilometre radius, but the tremor could be felt up to 278 kilometres away.

Hi Darkblade,

Thanks for the link. Love it!

Gotta little swarm going NW of Fairview, Oklahoma.

Just got home from work and notice this one.

It happened at 9:41 EST.

Not real big. But interesting. There was also a smaller one.

And as far as I can see a couple more 4's.

Just saw these.

and probably more,
can be seen on NIED map select Chubu and Kinki Regions Last 24 hours

NIED Prelimianery data is showing 44 events in the area, but not that big, range between 2.5 and 4.4
nothing on JMA
will have to wait a couple of days
looks like the JMA region will be NEAR HACHIJOJIMA ISLAND

Yeah just noticed that Muzzy. Hopefully it chills out and not be a big one.

I had to read that last bit twice '''The largest earthquake within 30 miles of Hawthorne, NV was a 7.1 Magnitude in 2016.''

a reply to: muzzy
the first data is in from NIED/JMA on this Nr Hachijojima Is series
I'm going to call it a Swarm for now, 4.9 is the biggest quake, but it didn't occur until 8:34hrs of M3 and M2 "foreshocks" (#13)

Not as dramatic as first looked, JMA saying 4.9, 4.4, 4.4, 4.3 the biggest events
mag2= 55 , mag3= 24 , mag4= 4, total energy released= 566.123 TTNT

But I'm getting different data from the Reviewed JMA than what they are showing on the quake_local_index public pages which had 5.2, 4.6, 4.4, 4.6

It might just be a short one, like that one OFF S NIIGATA PREF of 27/06/2016 M4.5 and 4.6 with 81 aftershocks, which I didn't bother to post.
So here is the map for the first 17:11:08 (hh:mm:ss) after first event
my map

I will add the 100-trace Continuous Waveforms later.

Typo
7.1 was on 12/21/1932

still 2016 ain't over yet ...................

a reply to: muzzy

LOL!!!

Just got home from work and saw this.

According to this publication, it was a 7.2. and it happened in 1932.

www.reviewjournal.com...

Back in the day, they just didn't have the technology to really determine the exact mag.

You also have to take into consideration, that the area was not as populated as today.

I did see that, but I just overlooked it, realizing it was an error. Sorry, I guess I should have acknowledged it.

earthquake.usgs.gov...

I trust USGS.

Still an interesting site.

Just to add: The date is also different. One says 20th of Dec, the other says the 21st.

Nat Geo reports; huge unknown fault found in Burma/India

news.nationalgeographic.com...


***If the new study’s models are correct, the region—home to more than 140 million people—could be sitting atop an active megathrust fault, the same kind of geologic feature that caused the catastrophic magnitude 9.0 earthquake in Japan in 2011.

What’s more, the models suggest that the fault is stuck and has been accumulating stress for more than 400 years, since before the Mughals made the Bangladeshi city of Dhaka the regional capital in the early 1600s.

That means an area more than 124 miles (200 kilometers) wide may be spring-loaded with significant levels of tectonic strain, the researchers warn today in Nature Geoscience. If the entire fault were to give way at once, the team estimates that it could spawn earthquakes up to magnitude 9.0, causing vast devastation in a region underprepared for seismic catastrophes.***

here's hoping...nothing happens

messy RAO graph

somewhat clearer SNZO graph

RAO IRIS graph

I have marked some of them on the IRIS graph
There is one on the Red line, at 12:07ish looks like a 5.0/5.1, neither network has registered, I left it blank for now.
The 12:58:24, 5.0 looks bigger than that on the graph (Black Line 3 )
USGS show another 5.0 at 13:16:40 which shows on the graph, generally USGS are 0.3 points down on the 6.0/6.1 GFZ magnitudes
and there has been another one at about 14:24 (blue line) which I have left blank, looks like 5.0/5.1 based on the size of the other 5.0's
marked IRIS
