Quake Watch 2009

Like I said in another post, the 6th Seal could happen within the next 7-10 days.

I noticed this swarm going on as well... With all of the activity centered in pretty much the same spot, is there any possibility it could be volcanic in origin?

Keeler is a common area to see quakes in Central Ca.
The amount - the frequency - and the mags are disturbing to say the least.

It's most definitely a swarm - triggered by Samoa - which is also triggering a lot more in the Tonga area. Tonga is also a very active site - (volcanic yes) and again - frequency etc...
The earth is a movin' more than usual - no denying that.

Tough to sleep when this happens.

Why isn't the MSM picking up on those larger quakes happening in Cali? Are they going unnoticed or what?

Yes - why aren't they picking up on it?
We don't have Television - but nothing on the radio -

Here's something from the web

My equake just rumbled another 4.5 in California

Why isn't the MSM picking up on those larger quakes happening in Cali? Are they going unnoticed or what?

The area of the quakes is a sparsely populated desert area on the eastern side. The magnitude could cause some damage, but not as much as, say a 6.2. (ex Coalinga, CA in 1983).

I'm maybe 90 miles west, on the other side of the Sierra mountain range. I was sitting on the sofa and thought my husband was accidentally bumping into it with his office chair in back. Didn't realize it was from an earthquake until he got an email from a friend.

I'll bet though, if one like below occurred there, I definitely would have felt it as a quake, and there would have been damage there and maybe some elsewhere. Again, though, that particular area is sparsely populated.

This general area had, in 1872, a major quake. Also, more info here.


In 1986 about 90 miles north of Keeler in Chalfant Valley, a 6.2 did cause damage.

The Revelation
of St. John the Divine
6


12 ¶ And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
13 and the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, · even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.
14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
16 and said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us
from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
17 for the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

Is this common? If a large quake hits the new madrid fault line it will supposedly be devastating.
