Quake Watch 2011

reply to post by kdog1982

I'm sorry, I was just about to log off and saw your reply.

Please forgive me for my bluntness. I wasn't criticizing you, and yes, from time to time I check such fringe sites as well. But that one irks me something awesome because they are so error-ridden that they should wear garlic round thier necks and ring a bell to warn everyone when they approach: "Plague! Plague of errors, glitches and rubbishy non-news! Plague..."

So it wasn't you.

By the way, another good site for data and pretty decent, balanced analysis is thewatchers.addoraeli.com.

Dunno if I wrote that right. Here's a link. Oh lord I hope I don't mess this up... The Watchers: Understanding the Van 7.2 Earthquake

I think they are pretty decent.

Must go. 2 am here now. Puterman, it will be the same time where you are in one hour. Just letting you know.

Amanda René: Don't worry. There are far more troubling spots in the world than the GOM. It's just one I'd like to study more and figure out those darned isolated quakes.

OK, good choice BTW, all have BHZ channel which is the one I prefer if its available. I can't get GEE to run here so I use IRIS Quakquery off REALTIME loaded on Google Earth.
Lucky you gave the names too, I'd never have found the stations by the numbers (just too many)

Looks like all 3 were pretty quiet between 4:00 and 14:00, then moving a bit since.
I've saved the graphs in a column of my Speed Dial Siesmo Menu, can easily bring them up and change the day number.

While I had the BUD open just now I thought I'd check URZ and see what that 4.5 looked like this morning up near Wairoa/ Gisborne

Jezz thats a big signal for a 4.5

URZ

Geonets shaking reports
If you click on the "Instrument Shaking" drop down menu top right corner of the map and select W-A its shows MM5 at RTR Ruatahuna, MUGZ Murupara, WHHZ Waihua and WFSS Wairoa Fire Station, perhaps a truer indication of the intensity than humans "feltit" reports of MM4

Why would you use a 40Hz channel when you can get a 100 Hz channel?

A04D.TA..BHZ.2011.297

A04D.TA..HNZ.2011.297

I think the 100 Hz is better personally

Re URZ. It's tiny: URZ

reply to post by PuterMan

Hey you scaled it down

You are probably right, compare McMinnville, OR's BHZ vs HNZ channels
nothing ............or heaps
BHZ
with
HNZ

You can't get HNZ channel on the NZ IRIS siesmographs, so I never bothered looking at anything but BHZ anywhere else either

not odd - but is

Active faults exist under nuclear plant in Aomori: study


mdn.mainichi.jp/mdnnews/national/archive/news/2011/10/25/20111025p2g00m0dm016000c.html

TOKYO (Kyodo) -- Active faults exist under Tohoku Electric Power Co.'s Higashidori nuclear power complex in Aomori Prefecture, a study released Monday says, calling for a review of the seismic safety of the plant.

The new report by researchers including Mitsuhisa Watanabe, professor at Toyo University, may affect a decision whether to resume operations of the plant's reactor, which is currently shut down, as well as the earthquake-proof safety screening for other nuclear plants.

However, Tohoku Electric, which runs the single-reactor plant, and Tokyo Electric Power Co., which is building a new reactor in the same Higashidori complex, said the faults were shaped by the swelling of water-bearing strata and deny there are active faults that cause earthquakes under the plant site.

There are a number of faults beneath the complex and whether they are active is unclear, but several experts noted recently in the Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency's safety-screening process that some may be active.

In the study report, the researchers say they found characteristics that typify the existence of active faults under the plant site in analyzing the surveys conducted by the two utilities for constructing the reactors there.

Takashi Nakata, a professor emeritus at Hiroshima University who took part in the analysis, criticized the utilities for denying active faults on the pretext of the swelling effects of strata.

Hi guys and gals,what do you think of this, www.haarp.alaska.edu... six days???I remember how the charts look like before Japan EQ....!Any thoughts?

reply to post by muzzy


Think you got the HNZ one wrong there Mr Muzzy Sir! That is two BHZ versions you posted.

Here is HNZ for those who are interested.

Hi guys and gals,what do you think of this

Not much really as your link does not work.

I guess that you are looking at the magnetometer in which case there is much activity right at this time.

It was a 4.3, 2 km depth...

It was a very magnetic night. I watched a big red cloud of plasma drift across the sky.

Gulf of Mexico. No aftershocks? Simply, I think it is a combination of lower magnitude and because it is a mid-continental quake. There was aftershocks when the magnitude was nearer 5.8M as seen in Colorado and Virginia. Second, compression. Since we are not talking about vigorously active areas, there's more resistance. It's like being squeeze when in a massive crowd. The crush of the crowd can kill. When you breath out, your chest contracts. Then the space is filled by someone's space. Suffocation comes from the inability to expand lungs to draw in air.

Gulf of Mexico.

Was formed by a giant volcanic eruption. Not going to go any further.

Edit to add. Avitars. avitors? i'm old. I like the dog. I like mel gibson. many of your tags are rad. wait, that was an expression used by ninja turtles. Phat? sick? I've fallen off the planet and I can't get up.

I like my avitar.

5.5 it's to much for those poor people.I actually donate something through Red Cross.I know is not much but.....

,this is going on for weeks. could be this the begging for something big in Cal?

Hi diamondsmith,
The seismo that you linked to is near the mouth of the Columbia River, on the Washington/Oregon border. I've been watching the NTHMP network for a while and Megler station always looks wonky like that.

On a related note, the ETS episode clustered in northern California and far southern Oregon continues on. Beginning on 18 October thru 24 Oct 2011 23:50:00 yesterday there has been 91.3 hours of tremor and slip @ 1680 epicenters. This "swarm" doesn't seem to be stopping yet:
Oct 18 4.3 hrs, 72 epicenters
19 5.3hrs, 96 epi
20 11hrs, 207 epi
21 18.6hrs, 357 epicenters
22 17.3hrs, 328 epi
23 16.7hrs, 302 epi
24 18.1hrs, 318 epicenters
Source
I've been following a loose correlation between the end of these ETS and moderate/large offshore earthquakes. I'll post more when I can finish gathering the data (life gets in the way of my EQ watching/learning)

reply to post by Olivine
Thanks Olivine I think if it is to be,it will be in a mater of weeks perhaps months.I study this and it's a big balance in terms of momentum/seconds but not magnitude the sequence it's to periodic so it's with a big finality!!!
