Quake Watch 2014

I cannot help but think of mother shiptons line .

Something to the effect...

Three sleeping giants draw breath and spew out mud ICE and death .

Could that be in Iceland , is there three together there?

just a fipping 2 cents.
just flipping it in .

woops maybe I should have put this in the volcano thread.

Found a couple links about the area where the quakes in Alaska are occurring:

I know USGS is using Ester, Alaska as the closest town to the quakes but they are closer to Minto, Alaska (a census-designated area like so many places in Alaska). It does have a Post Office, a State Game Refuge called Minto Flats, & & hidden faults beneath the flats.


“ Scientists are so interested in the fault zone (which produces many of the shakes we feel in Fairbanks) that four of them embarked on a raft trip last August. For a few days, they floated into the heart of one of the largest geologic basins in Alaska.
Carl Tape is a seismologist at the Geophysical Institute of the University of Alaska Fairbanks. Along with State Seismologist Michael West, seismologist Matt Gardine and graduate student Celso Alvizuri, Tape shoved a blue raft off the gravel in Nenana last August and floated the Tanana River to Manley Hot Springs.
The four men embarked on the river trip because they have been funded to install one dozen sensitive ground-motion detectors in what they call the Minto Flats seismic zone. The best way to scout the area was to let the Tanana River carry them as the braided waterway makes a 90-degree bend northward from the town of Nenana.
Tape, who grew up in Fairbanks, was surprised at the remote feeling of that 100-mile river stretch just a few minutes from Fairbanks by plane. As their 14-foot raft rotated in the current, the scientists heard the groan of fish wheels and steered clear of a few barges steaming toward Nenana. When they hit shore, they saw many sets of bear tracks pressed into gray mud.
The scientists explored high and dry spots where they might locate their broadband seismometers and where radio systems might broadcast ground-motion information toward the ridge upon which the Parks Highway runs from Fairbanks to Nenana. On that hilltop, other stations will repeat the data and send it back to the Alaska Earthquake Center in Fairbanks.
Tape has been fascinated with the Minto Flats seismic zone since before he and his colleagues discovered that a magnitude 8.6 earthquake from Sumatra in April 2012 sent its energy through half the globe and triggered a magnitude 3.9 earthquake in the flats. The effect of that “Love wave” was another example of action on a Minto Flats fault capable of ripping a magnitude 7 or larger earthquake.
Minto Flats is responsible for a magnitude 6 earthquake on October 5, 1995. Many people in Fairbanks remember that day as the most vigorous shaking they have felt, even more than from the much larger (but farther away) Denali Fault earthquake of 2002."

I wonder if the alaska aftershocks have anything to do with strange needle vibrations on the ABC 7 Quake Cam.

Interesting info!
I'm glad to see that they set up a seismometer too!
Especially since the Alaska volcano list,
said that Hayes & Buzzard Creek were not seismically monitored!!!

At least some places are! 👍

That is #2 for today

I feel like Southern Mexico is going to "bounce back" from all of the pressure being put on it.

Here's to hoping I am wrong though.

Funny how they look like all one species again.

And some aftershockes of 5.2 and 5.4

Hi there, ATS members. Can some of you here offer your opinions on what kind of probability there would be for a megaquake above 8.8 in the Moment magnitude scale to occur before this year ends? 33% 20% 0.5%?

FYI ATS, our dog is acting so weird. As I began to type this sentence I was alerted via quake app, of a 6.5 in Indo!

Anyway, granted she is an emotional beagle, I felt compelled to share just in case Alaska is about to get hit with something

I'm sorry you guys, there was no earth shattering kaboom, it was just thunder, and there have been an extraordinary amount of militiary cargo jets flying overhead.

Quakes of note today:

M4.7 - 39km NNE of AElvdalen, Sweden
M5.4 - 81km E of Le Vauclin, Martinique
M4.0 - 6km S of Guthrie, Oklahoma

That one in Sweden caught my eye straight away. I can't remember ever seeing one listed for there. I'm sure it happens from time to time, but it's a first for me anyway.

it is just the beginning of crustal displacement, not long now before the whole thing destabilizes.
