Quake Watch 2012

zoom out and have a look around, there are little swarms all over the place, L'Aqulla still twitching, as is Emilia-Romagna

I'll go ahead and split those Pollino quakes into fore and after shocks and do a page on it during the week.

My apologies for being so eager to get this out without cross checking it.
Now when I split the Oct file into before and after the Pollino 5.0 I see that some of the location names don't match where they actually are, there are Pollino names on some of the L'Aquilla icons for example.
This must have been at one stage where I used the "sort" filter and missed selecting the "where" column that has the location address.
Sorry about that
The icons are in the right spots, Lat/Long and the mags and TTNT are right, its just the addresses may be wrong.
Human error
I was trying to sort by name but its too hard as the Italian addresses start with a street name rather than the nearest town (or Park in this case)
I've started filtering it by Lat and Long and eliminate those outside the box area.

WOW 6.4 after shock again

just a bit west of the 7.7
Starting to think the next one will be bigger 90% change i give it

The depths of these 2 recent aftershocks are different from the vast majority of the preceding events. The average depth of all the other earthquakes in the vicinity has been around 10.1 km; with one as shallow as 7.7 km and the previous deepest EQ was the Mag 7.7 at 17.5 km depth.

That area seems to be undergoing some serious ripping and rearranging.

Here is the spectrogram from the Campbell River, BC station, which I believe is over 350 km away from the center of this earthquake activity.



Very energetic past 16+ hours...


Ack! Add an even deeper aftershock to the list-- 47.2 km depth:

Wondering where everyone is? Worried and stressed a bit, need factual data that I can understand in lamans terms...

or it the east coast evacuation

Thanks Trill, I did find that one thank you, this one sometimes seems to have less banter/speculation and more current updates thats all.

Stay alert/Safe

Other than the Canadian after-shocks, the rest of the world seems awfully quiet at present.

Hopefully that's a good thing?

A little while ago, I posted in the other thread a list of the quake & aftershocks thus far. I figured a full list would be useful in this thread as well, so here y'all go.

As a recap, here's the list of quakes thus far, for the past 7 days, all mags, in the 7.7's area:

I have the time set for me for UTC -4:00(System Time), so keep that in mind when looking at the times.

That's 54. The main quake, plus 53 aftershocks in what, 19 hours?

And another just posted, so we have the main, and 54 aftershocks now:
4.7 190km S of Masset, Canada 2012-10-28 18:41:29 52.314°N 132.329°W 15.0

I noticed that, too. I vaguely remember the eastern Pacific being very quiet post-Fukushima, so yes, hopefully a good sign.

Well it is behind that is for sure as the JSON file only goes as far as 14:46 and the time is now 23:15. It has been struggling to catch up all day. We shall see if it catches up in a day or two. Maybe they are just checking everything before posting. After all USGS do that at Yellowstone so it is not an unusual situation.

I am a little questioned.

See this 7.xx quake in Canada is inland, mountain range et all, on average 12km from the main shore line. Yes, there are lagoons and water close by, but all are nearly enclosed with narrow openings to the open sea. Google Earth and have a look.

Now with 12 km distance to open sea on the West side; why did this quake cause a Tsunami that even reach to Hawai?

The only explanation must be that there was a uplift/drop in a large portion of the sea bed km's away from the epicentre. Makes me wonder if it is realy done and not just foreplay. The spread of aftershocks might indicate that a large portion of the crust have been disturbed. Might also be there were quite a verticall movement; most experience reports states shifting - horizontal.

A very disturbing possibility.

I think you may be correct.

Here is a 4.0 in the same area as the 5.3 last week.

I have an uneducated bad feeling about this area in particular....Well h#@!, the whole West coast for that matter.

earthquake.usgs.gov...

Interesting days we live in. But get used to it, because this is chicken little compared to what will befall the earth in the next decade or so!

We'll see soon enough, I say 10% chance, now that we have had the "one of one point less magnitude" aftershock.
I predict an aftershock series of approx. 150-200 in the first 72 hours, the question is will USGS stick with it?

I too was curious as to why this on land quake produced a tsunami that reached that far. In fact curious as to why it produced a tsunami at all. We sat here wondering about this yesterday.

I am of the opinion as I have stated on this thread, that a Cascadia Mag 9 is a possibility as it is by all accounts overdue and the stress levels are ready for it soon. (Not sure how this has affected that but not much I am guessing)

I am still of the opinion that this could occur in the next few years, but having said that it would destroy all the 9/56 solar influenced cycles if it did. Maybe if is just getting ready for somewhere around the 2050/60 mark.


@radpetey

this is chicken little compared to what will befall the earth in the next decade or so!

You mean freezing cold temperatures, very few if any sunspots, a possible sudden onset ice-age, a decline in earthquake and volcano activity as we move down the other side of this last 9/56 cycle? Or were you thinking something a bit more hot and bumpy?

Memphis just rolled a moment ago. Nothing showing up on the helicorders yet at UofM. house creaking and it felt just like a rolling as I was on the couch.

I love playing with the seismograms!

Those two look as if they are about the same but here the are at exactly the same 'scale' and you can see that the quake was closer to HBAR than FCAR (Ozark). By the way these are 1200 x 1600 images of the seismo. Not blown up, created at that size. (I have pushed these up to 1600 x 2000 so far but I am not sure how much bigger they can go)




It starts about 15 seconds later at FCAR which is easy to see on these large scale images.
