Quake Watch 2011

reply to post by ressiv


So Katla is playing up just as Katia gets here then. The two of them can play games together.

My house is shuddering as Katia builds up. We may lose the power any minute. Usually do in a storm.

I had a snap of the map at 00:50 UTC and it had not started then but the 04:50 snap shows it well under way. We will have to wait for the plume on the horizon - actually I am not joking!

ETA:

Later Sunday night and continuing through Monday, southwest winds will increase to mean speeds of 50 to 80km/h, with gusts ranging 90 to 130 km/h. The most sustained and severe winds are expected across Connaught and Ulster.

tie everything steady for the gails puterman...:-(
guess we in holland will get also some tails of it this week...

'Quake related. Results of, rather than as it's happening, but no one looks at the other threads:

Oh, yes, it's Christchurch. Lots of buildings have been demolished.

Further to the comings and goings of the Vanuatu 6.0 which ENSC had as 5.4 Mb to USGS 6.0 Mw, I note that EMSC who had come up to 6.0 have rebelled and gone against the USGS.

Magnitude Mw 5.7
Region VANUATU
Date time 2011-09-11 23:37:37.0 UTC
Location 18.19 S ; 167.86 E
Depth 40 km
Distances 1117 km W Suva (pop 199,455 ; local time 11:37:37.0 2011-09-12)
69 km SW Vila (pop 35,901 ; local time 10:37:37.0 2011-09-12)

www.emsc-csem.org...

They have reduced it to 5.7

So basically I still expect a reduction by USGS so if they are reading the thread take note. Don't want to be calling PuterMan a liar now!! - 5.9 please as predicted.

It looks like a ghost town. How long do you think, if ever, it will take for the city to fully recover?
Stay safe.

@ Puterman, you stay safe too.

I was watching some video taken at ground level in the red zone earlier this month and I got lost, it was unrecognisable in parts Some believe it could take 10 yrs, some 15+ yrs.. just hope the Alpine Fault keeps schtum (or gets it over and done with now before we rebuild and before I bother to get the quake repairs done).

Well,well, (fracking) well:



Yes, that's a frack-pad almost directly above the epicenter of that quake. (scroll right)

reply to post by jadedANDcynical


Yeah.....that is what I heard yesterday. I mean....WTH are they doing to us? Do they not get they are messing with our lives here. Geeeez can someone even stop them from digging and adding liquids into our Earth?

Yes, it can be stopped (at least it has been in a few rare cases), go look at the Arkansas thread and what Susan has been able to accomplish.

Unfortunately, it's too late to stop the ones that are already sunk.

And there are a LOT of them.

reply to post by jadedANDcynical


There are other extraordinary circumstances in Texas as well right now. Ground water (aquifers) being depleted by the severe heat and prolong natural drought, then the quick, localized injection of fluids (in the fracturing process). I'm no geologists (nor did I stay in a Holiday Inn recently) but it doesn't seem like a good mix at this time (mayber safer in this part of US when water table is stable?

It takes some effort and campaigning
to stop the fracking but it can be done as
those in Arkansas can testify to. Stay
safe Texas friends.

reply to post by Glinda


Trust me, I know about the drought. I'm in Texas, the gulf coast near Galveston Island in fact.

There are likely many contributing factors including the extremes of climate. Adding extraction and injection wells (tens of thousands in Texas alone) to that already stressed system is by no means going to be conducive to the health of the overall system.

I saw this one in Oklahoma USGS
Low & behold. Is this fracking as well? I pinned the epicenter.

Ignoring this were we? I did not post as I thought someone would have jumped on it!!

reply to post by PuterMan


just seen it, not much of a trace on SNZO.
Agreed its a bit high, GFZ and RAs are both below 6 as well, only GEOAU agree,....... 6.3, not finalized though

Will be interesting to see if there is an upsurge in 6's over the next few days in the period between Full Moon 12th to Apogee on the 15th

Bit slow off the mark today, missed these two yesterday morning;
Double Tap, same time, different place (27.35km apart) and depth
