The clock is ticking in Sumatra, page 2

The link you posted isn't available to the public, but I did notice that there was a lot of activity in just the last 2 days in the area you were speaking of.

Well it seems that is a super volcano in the area called the Toba caldera.

The last time that it erupted was about 74,000 years ago. At that time it blew 670 cubic miles of ash into the air, or about 3,000 times as much as Mt. St. Helens in 1980. The eruption buried most of India under ash. Sunlight was so diminished that, at the end of the first six years of climate cooling, a thousand-year ice age began.

This is a link to the picture where the Calderal is located along side the Sumatra fall line.

On plates 'breaking' in two, thats what rifting is. Africa is currently breaking in two. The great rift valley, the persian gulf, the dead sea, all are part of a fault system. Its a slow process.

There are going to be many more earthquakes around sumatra/indonesia. Its an earthquake prone region. Whats more, while people are focusing on that region, there aregoing to be large destructive earthquakes elsewhere.

Here is an article on the non-tsunami maker, and here is a paper on the geology and structure of it.

Given that the level of activity in this part of the world following the December 26th has not only NOT decreased but perhaps even increased it raises the very real possibility that a) the plate will collapse or b) that one of the areas volcanos will blow.

THer is absolutely nothing to support that statement. Its not a scientific statement. There is no reason to think that earthquakes there should decrease, and there is no surprise over it 'increasing'.
Also, plate collapse? These aren't rifts, these are plate margins.
There is no reason to worry about something 'historic' happening.

The first one in the initial post by Indy. Iris has apparently put restrictions on that particular page...

EDIT: which apparently has been lifted again. I can access it now, I couldn´t before. It told me it was restricted to Scientists only (or something similar)...

This one: www.iris.edu...

Mt Talang is minor compared to Lake Tobas Caldera... Hopefully, as someone has stated previously, Talang will serve as a vent to release any pressure that may be building up.

Yes I mentioned this eruption on page 1.
I haven´t seen CNN´s coverage of it though...

Trouble On The Way

Although I'm the Prophet Who Can't See The Future (so take that for what it's worth), I'm also “picking up the vibes” -- although I am very vague and reluctant to specify dates for what I think are good reasons.

Aside from Sumatra, I'm expecting major problems all around the “Ring of Fire”, as well as places not usually associated with earthquakes.

Aside from the shaking and damage therefrom, and of course, the dreaded tsunamis, I am also anticipating many cases of “ill winds” -- poisonous clouds -- sweeping out from many of these areas a killing lots of people and animals -- and even destroying forests and other vegetation. Additionally, lots of sea kills. Lots of sea kills.

This is may or may not be the start of that, I don't know.

But if my “spidey sense” isn't complete hokum, I think we'll be seeing some events toward the end of this year that will leave little room for doubt in the minds of most people in the world that something “prophetic” is going on.

Time will tell.

For what it's worth, however, despite the apparent “doom and gloom”, I'm actually very optimistic that things will turn out very, very nicely in the end. ^^

[sarcasm]

There´s nothing to see here. Everything happening these days in this region is quite normal. There is nothing historic about this at all. You can all go back to sleep again now...

So this is not normal at all, in fact it is quite abnormal

No, its not abnormal. It normal. To bags of flesh that walk around for 80 some odd years, sure, it might seem bizzare. To the planet? No, earthquakes are not abnormal, even two big ones in a region.

neic.usgs.gov...

here this year's information
neic.usgs.gov...

Notice, there've been, what, three? The average is twenty. There's going to be a bunch nore that are 'big'.

Also note, with data from 1900 on, there is on average One 8 and above earthquake a year. This year, there've been two. Hell, there might even be another. Is that apocalyptically abnormal?

also look at this article, which asks, Are Earthquakes really on the Rise?

Also notice
neic.usgs.gov...

In '95 and '96, there were two. There weren't any in '99 or '02.

The tsunami generator got everyone's attention. Now, people who've never seen the printout from a seismograph are noticing that there are a lot of earthquakes in that region.

Yes, there are a lot of earthquakes. There've been lots of earthquakes, and there will be lots of earthquakes. But there is nothing that reasonably says that something weird is happening.
