Quake Watch 2013

dreamfox1
Im putting it out there. Im nervous tonight. (Pacific time)

Some part of the west coast of North America may get from a 7 or 9+ Mag quake by later this evening or by tomorrow morning.

I see too much activity tonight and all day long watching it.

I hope nothing happens and i am wrong but i would feel worse if i didn't let others know how i feel.

OK, that's quite a list. Thank you.

Just off the phone with my mom who lives in the Black Hills area in SW South Dakota. Said she heard on the news this morning of an earthquake.

I went and looked it up, and sure enough:

M3.5 - 16km ENE of Custer, South Dakota
2013-12-12 09:43:20 UTC

USGS source

Is this an off-shoot of the frequent (small) Yellowstone quakes? Or just a one-time fluke?

reply to post by kalunom


I have been a quaker for two years now, and never remember seeing one in S. Dakota!

Here's a link for only two notables...the other lists for quakes in that area are not working

earthquake.usgs.gov...



A little, more comprehensive update on the quake list for this area....It is also highly unlikely that this is in any way related to Yellowstone.

earthquaketrack.com...

However, the DOOM side of me would love it to be so

reply to post by radpetey


Thank you for the links. So, they are just very rare apparently.

No Yellowstone connection...BUT, we could say that, since this earthquake was just a short distance south of Mount Rushmore that old Washington, Lincoln, and the other two I can't now remember...maybe they are just upset with the current political climate.

Heheheh! They probably just found out a bunch of 'lefties' are pushing to to have 'the anointed one's' face carved right next to them

Oh?
NIED's own data doesn't show that in the latest download

(click image for larger version, opens in new tab/window)

Japan gets approx. 160-300 quakes per day as background seismicity and from my observations it takes a big 6 or 7 to make those numbers jump higher above that norm. I haven't observed any spikes in smaller magnitude quakes on their own.


Like NZ I have noticed that prior to a M6 or M7 there may be a shortage of daily M4's for a week or so, but it is not as pronounced/obvious .

Erm, I bet to differ. There hasn't been anything listable on at least the USGS in 24 hours (I don't actually know when the last 4.5 or higher was. Yesterday or the day before?) Just because it looks like a lit-up Christmas tree on the map doesn't mean it's because it's all seismic activity (it actually goes pretty quiet, both in audio tones & the visual dots, during their overnight) You can easily see the difference between human influence and natural just by looking at the day & night over there. Daytime is "noisier", while their night is much quieter. Right now, it looks like a typical afternoon over there with some tiny quakes sprinkled in here & there (a daily norm, though) Don't get me wrong, I love the NIED maps channel and plug the crap out of it when the inspiration strikes me, but right now? It's quiet & boring. Has been all night (US night)

Some part of the west coast of North America may get from a 7 or 9+ Mag quake by later this evening or by tomorrow morning.

I see too much activity tonight and all day long watching it.

I hope nothing happens and i am wrong but i would feel worse if i didn't let others know how i feel.

Well, it wasn't a huge quake, but this mag 4.1 did go off near the San Andreas fault last night. Largest in a few months in the area.

Yea i just noticed that a few minutes ago as i woke up checking on quake activity. Will be keeping an eye on this area throughout the day.

This New York Times bit is really good at explaining the basic facts about earthquakes and fracking, and explaining the difference between fracking and injection. Oklahoma and Texas both had small quakes today. But it can't be fracking and injection- no. It must be that giant rift opening up and Cthulhu will pop out.



Now, I know you must all be thinking, hey wait, Cthulhu is a sea monster. Yes, this is true. You have a point. But, you can't possibly know what future events are sure to occur. First, the entire mid-west suddenly has a giant methane fart after all the cracks from fracking open all at once. Many, many small earthquakes everywhere. Of course, with that much gas, and spark. Many areas went up in fire. Then the ground suddenly fell out. Not like the stock market bottom falling out. Well, yeah, kinda like that. The ground sank just like it had done in Cali, when back in da olden days of the fifties. Late forties anyway. Suddenly the mid-west sank and created a giant basin.

But you're future forgetting that at the same time, the other oil rigs out in the Gulf sparked the same methane release through earthquakes, and the water thrust upon the land in a tsunami. The newly formed basin of the mid-west now filled with water and now, Cthulhu can emerge through the giant rift formed by the artificial fault the oilboys created. "We're sorry." (When Tony Hayward... www.youtube.com... "

You see, Cthulhu doesn't like to admit he's afraid of sharks. This way, the sharks can stay out in the ocean.

Sorry, here's the very good video of fracking and injection.

www.nytimes.com...

And just a note, the Oklahoma epicenter was unusual. Meaning, it was in ta new location. 1.5km away from an injection well. A ten minute walk. Oh, I should go back and look for lakes. Yup, Great Salt Plains Lake.

Some other reading if you like.

I checked the Texas quake and it's surrounded by injection wells.

Anyone have a working link to the closest seismos on Mt. Etna? I can't find any that are working.

reply to post by westcoast


How about this site westcoast?

Link

reply to post by westcoast


I use these.

They are delayed 10-15 minutes, but automatically update. Once the page loads, if you click on station "STR8", you can see that tremor has eased off in the past hour or two, but the small earthquakes are still cracking.

You may not recall but at the end of last year/beginning of this we had a lull in Mag 6+ earthquakes of 16 days that ended on the 15th January 2013 with an M6.1 on the Pacific-Antarctic ridge.

As of yesterday we are at 14 days and counting. If there is no Mag 6+ before Wednesday midnight UTC then that will be 17 days and the longest gap since I started the geophysical reports on 22 December 2011.

I will check back but from memory the longest gap in the last decade is 19 days, I think maybe perhaps.

The tremor graph on the same site are much better, if it is VT/HT you are after, and the span a longer period. The slight increase on the 15th on the visible seismograms does not now, on the 16th, show that the tremor has subsided dramatically from the 14th.

Here is the chart showing the 16 day 'gap'

Click the image to enlarge

I also note that as of today ALL three bands M6, M7, M8 are in the red i.e. have not had a quake in the band that is less than or equal to the average gap between quake - so ALL are overdue.

The Mag 7 band was not over on the date of the report (13th) just about to issue, but is now,
