EQ Gulf of Mexico just South of NewOrleans Watch for it~ Its a precursor

Gulf of Mexico south of New Orleans 2 weeks ago had a 4.6M 10 K deep shallow by EQ standards Bit when this area starts shaking it has a lot of pressure to release it will be like the area near the Bahamas where the mag just keeps creeping up
so y'all have been made aware of the situation just be on the look out for tsunamai's and such... be prepared after the last disaster/storm i would expect anyone still in the area is Hopefully PREPARED now .

Cheers.

I see you posted in this in the Predictions forum but what prediction did you actually make?

a reply to: opethPA

Whatever it is, I'm predicting no one will be prepared.

ha ha My prediction is that this area has awakened and when you see it reported on the news you'll know it's just a precursor for what that area is capable of no time line or magnitude just that it will become more active going forward.

So to sum it up..Some thing at some place will happen at some time.

EQ @ NewOrleans area -> see: Craton
A craton is an old and stable part of the continental lithosphere. Having often survived cycles of merging and rifting of continents, cratons are generally found in the interiors of tectonic plates. They are characteristically composed of ancient crystalline basement rock, which may be covered by younger sedimentary rock.

see:
see the coastal plane area, there is not any 'base-rock' within 50 miles of NO,,,, it's all sediment so EQ's would have a really special source, you might be thinking an EQ up around the famous Madrid Fault EQ zone being felt in NO & Gulf-of-Mexico


further info on the ancient core lithosphere....

there is NO reason for 10km EQs in the region...other than the periodic collapses of the deep Salt Caverns in that general area......and the resulting sinkholes showing up in the landscape

Excellent info thanks !! what about those over near the Bahamas would they be part of that deformed Craton area? that area has been active and increasing in mag slowly over the last 7-8 years

a reply to: TheJesuit

This is common sense. That area is unstable.
Easy to predict anything for that area.

Your probably dreaming about the area cos there is always earthquakes in that area.

Relax

I like your graphic for reference could these EQ's in the area be evidence that the craton edge is starting to move? florida had two as well.....
