The question is, how normal is this for Nevada? Three magnitude 4 + in one day?

Exiting day along the Puerto Rico trench today the swarming seems to have moved further to the east of the trench. Around 18 3.0+ today. Quakes have been happening everywhere along the Caribbean plate lately everywhere except for up along the cayman trench. Pressure needs to be released there soon. Hopefully not as much as the Haiti quake.

Im in Christchurch and we're starting to ease off, personally im expecting another largeish 4-5 one in the next few days. I'll keep you posted.

Ok...another in Nevada, 20 min ago...

Mag 3.1

And another just now.. 2.5

Hey Semoro, I'm just outside Chch

I agree, it's been far too quiet... expecting a high 4 I reckon.

Only time will tell, but personally I think you are done with anything over 4.5

The Aftershocks from the Lyttelton 6.3 have lately tended to be offshore in Pegusus Bay and I'm thinking out there is the end of the new Fault Line (still un-named, possibly because there ar no above ground traces of it)

The Aftershocks from the 7.1 are back, but minor size
Fewer people are reporting them too to Geonet.

There was a 3,3 out in Pegusus Canyon on Tuesday, which is getting quite a ways from Christcurch, but if that Canyon decides to connect with the Darfield and the "Port Hills" faults look out
map

There seems to be more activity in Otago since the 2 ChCh quakes, I'm picking our next big one will be Fiordland

Hmmm, we had this after the 7.1 - a long lull - and then wham..

I also believe many of us are "once bitten twice shy".. before the 6.3 I had just started not checking Geonet every 5 mins and had started talking about more everyday things with folk... but that 6.3 knocked us all back a bit.

I'm keeping my beady on the faults local to me - Porters / Springfield - on the assumption that no big pressure releases (if indeed there remains pressure on the western end) have yet to occur this way.

If there's one thing I've learnt in the last eight months of aftershocks is you just have to sit and wait.. it gets easier with time...

In Japan, Earthquakes also felt from within

Nevada is starting to heat up.. In like 80 miles from where they are happening I'm almost half tempted to drive down there and check things out or just drive as fast as I can away from it lol

Not sure we need every aftershock in Japan noted!!

again I ask, how can the depth be 0? Something isn't adding up

If you notice, both have yet to be reviewed by a seismologist...

reply to post by MoorfNZ


I didn't even notice that! Thank you...that's a better explanation than what I've been thinking

maybe there is something to my theory? I would like to know what ya'll think?


Not tooting my own horn but I did predict this swarm to the day it started with the 7.1,
I have a strange feeling and have been noticing coincidences, it seems when the moon is on its approach to perigee earthquake activity picks up the 10 days before perigee.(this is not a rule just observing.)
I had the same thing happen when I wrote my Extreme Super Moon thread I did not intend to predict anything just noticed the fact that the moon has alot to do with our geology.

here is myDisaster DeJavu prediction thread and Moon Watch thread I made before the 7.1 swarm hit.. also before the Ark and Nevada swarms started up...
