Quake Watch 2011

reply to post by angelchemuel


no problem , I wanted to know myself, so it was worth putting it all together and publishing it rather than just looking and going hmmmmmmm

Looks to me like the Australian Plate is moving north-north-east there as well as subducting under the Pacific Plate (if you subscribe to subduction theory)
Also note the circle of quakes for the last 2 swarms (this last week) I wonder if there isn't some kind of volcanic bubble there in the center (volcano), although its pretty close to the edge of the plate. Maybe a seamount went under and got snagged on the underside of the Pacific Plate, now breaking free and moving with the AP again
Worst case senario if that is the case is that the edge of the PP breaks off/collapses (Mag 9 ish)
Have a look here on Google Earth or Google Maps Satellite mode to see what happens -38.13319, 179.406777

NZ Update.
18 days since a Mag 5
probably due one.
last 3 days been pretty quiet, NOQ's ~ 2, 7, 6
a bit early yet to confirm only 6 for today (usually wait till 4pm to download the data) , but the 7 day count is down to below 100 (95)

New Moon tommorrow and Perigee the day after, maybe some more action?

Well there's a comforting thought...NOT!

Don't know if any of the Kiwi's on here watched NATION on TV this morning, but the interviewer claimed that they were experiencing an earthquake in the Auckland recording studio...nothing on GeoNet for Auckland, so maybe just a passing truck shock the building (nervous bunch up there)

SHHHHHHH.

It's very, very quiet.
Just about a new moon. I think things will change right around perigee. High tide.
New York and Jersey and other northeast areas were already sodden. The ground won't really be solid. It will be just a big mushy layer of goo on the crust.

Just one of my wild thoughts. All things considered, it makes for one unstable mess. I wonder if it shifts stress loads. All that motion in the waves and surges.


The northeast has demonstrated it's clustered nature. Weeks ago, there was a period with not a one.

Hi Robin

I had those same thoughts regarding the north east after the storm blows through. Not only the north east but the location of the VA quake as well. The grounds are pretty saturated from the North Carolina up into New England. Have to wonder what is next

Yep, bit on edge here - had a wee 3.6 earlier nearby but that's it.... I really really hope a big one doesn't hit on 4th Sept.. I think I'd lose my sense of humour...

Sukurajima had a massive explosive event last night
www.youtube.com...
I think it possibly ties in with this EQ event at the Aira Caldera

Nice explosion but Dutchsinse AND RSOE in one post?

I think i feel unwell

reply to post by PuterMan


OK, sorry didn't realise it was a dutchsinse POSTING....but once I have finished watching the weird Swedish twins documentary, I will find another of the livecam for you. As to EDIS....can't help that...but will see if I can find same 4.2 in the area on another site for you. Can't have you feeling ill now can we!

It's ok, just go ahead and be sick and get his BS out of your system. I swear, I have tried over 5 times to push the reset button on that guy, watch another video of his, and EVERY time he proves himself crazier than me. And that is just not good at all.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, you turned up anything on GPS data for Czech?

@ Spacejockey and MoorfNZ
20 Mag 5's across NZ per year is normal, ie background siesmicity (before Sept 4 2010 and since)
not counting the Mag 7 aftershocks ( Canterbury, Fiordland, o/s East Cape etc which pumps the numbers up)
NZ Mag 5+

No idea where the next one will be

Hmm, getting some GEE activity in Colorado again....stay tuned...

Update: Well, it came and went. A tiny one, then a less tiny one, then a small one, and....*poof* all gone.

OK, I have looked and I have hunted, but unfortunately nobody else seems to have posted last nights explosion at Sukurajima.....so in this case I'm afraid Mr Sinse gets brownie points for capturing it off the live web cam....I can hear you all groan from here!

From what i can see on the Seismo,it has calmed down somewhat,but isn´t over. The most Activity was on Aug. 26. Though there is a chunk missing from today on that Station...(Next closest Station

Edit: ATS is slow as hell again...

Yes, ATS is VERY slow..its p'ing me off!

Any way...after the quake in VA again today, small but non the less, could some one look at this please...

aslwww.cr.usgs.gov...

What is all that on there? Storms long gone from here...clear weather, beautiful here today actually...so what is all that about?

Here is VA 2.2 earlier today...
aslwww.cr.usgs.gov...

I may get ripped apart for this, but I am telling you...something is up...possibly on the east coast..first earth quake, on its heals - hurricane, evacuations, threats of 9/11 attacks, talk on the media of alien invasions (which I find highly unusual)...some thing just isn't right here.

And another one in VA, small one, but worth mentioning...
