Gotcha!

Thank you for the link, something though that comes to mind. Could this recent quake be an aftershock from the 2008? Never mind... not the same area.

reply to post by MamaJ

So it does appear there is/was a swarm. Can we expect anything bigger then? Also, anyone paying attention to Mammoth Mountain? I wonder if this will kick off volcanic activity.

Shock/Aftershock rather than swarm as it was kicked off by the 5.1

In light of previous sequences I would say probably no effect on volcanic elements.

Just looked at quake activity and seems as if Santa Cruz is shaking.... three almost back to back 5.2's.

In a way that is good as it was quite surprising how quickly it subsided after the M8. It should carry on a long time after an event that size I would have thought. At least if it is settling it is not stuck.

Welcome to ATS and to Quake Watch 2013.

There is definitely oil exploration - see here

Has Irish firm found the biggest oil lake in U.S. history? Company drilling in Nevada could be sitting on 187 MILLION oil barrels may be of interest.

This Hydraulic Fracturing Links - State of Nevada, Commission on Mineral Resources may give you some more information.

Oops forgot this one - State of Nevada Oil, Gas, and Geothermal Forms and Publications

Scroll down for some reports.

Puterman, The N Korean nuclear test has triggered the events in Nevada which means that the explosion has tilted the edge of the continental plate exerting pressure on the West Coast of the North American plate. This is not good and may have triggered a chain reaction.

This section of the movement was not supposed to happen in the first plate shift.


For every action there is and equal and opposite reaction.

reply to post by prophetboy12


Sorry to all for going off topic but i just have to ask........

How the hell can a 6 to 7 kiloton nuclear test trigger an earthquake on the opposite side of the world? And why has it not happened before?

It is either complete hokum or you are aware of something that i clearly do not know or understand - and if it is the latter, i would like educating!

reply to post by wasobservingquietly

I haven't looked on USGS, but these appear to be the last mag 5's on land, from what I have on file.

Not off topic at all as far as I am concerned. I too should love hear the detailed description of how the equivalent of a mag 5.6+ in Korea can set off a quake in Nevada, especially seeing as the largest US underground test, in Alaska I believe at 5 megatons, had no such effect as far as I am aware.

As yes, Alaska and no earthquakes after the Mag 7.0 equivalent test.

This section of the movement was not supposed to happen in the first plate shift.

When was it supposed to happen then, or perhaps I should not ask.

Your description sounds awfully like the beginnings of the film 2012. You do realise that the events in the film were completely fictional and virtually impossible?

Hey puterman!!

This seismo was posted in another thread. The reason.....large booms heard in Morristown, Tn.

Does this look seismic to you??

That was a bigger aftershock. I know putermann said he thought these were aftershocks from the 5.1.

It still seems kinda scary.

Great thread! I have done a lot of research and have something to bring up. I have noticed a pattern with larger quakes (6.0 and above) and the moon. Ten days after Perigee a Large quake often occurs. Of course this is not always true but if you look at the USGS site and search quakes 6.0 Mag and above.. and compare them to the apogee perigee table for that year, more often then not a large quake will coincide.

It may be nothing.. but it caught my attention

I would be watching the news Feb. 17th though.

reply to post by radpetey


No it does not look seismic. It would look like (depending on the sensitivity of the machine and proximity to source) either heavy vehicles or trains but for the fact that it is not regular enough through out the day.

I can get the data for that one so I will have a closer look.


No I can't. The server is not responding. I sent the request but no data. I will try again tomorrow.


It also could be electrical having had a good look through all available seismograms. I note on Google Earth that there is what appears to be a 252,000 volt overhead electrical cable on pylons running right past where that seismo station is supposed to be. No telling what they may be putting out in terms of spurious signals. (I am thinking 252kV as it seems to be a double cable. 4 is usually 440kV and single cables for voltages under 252kV - at least in the UK/Ireland)

Whilst the location is approximate until I can query a data file, I had another look at Google Earth and there is another bunch of overground cables (132kV ??) to the north of the seismo location

We have been through this before, but I will concede that we may have missed something. Please do create a table to display your results and get back to us.

reply to post by crappiekat


Spot on. That one is indeed another aftershock of the 5.1

In light of previous incidents in the same area or very close by I don't believe it is anything to be scared about. It will slowly dwindle down in magnitude size until it just stops, and we all forget the area again until the next time.

PS Once again, please look at your u2us.

update to post by PuterMan


Tried again this morning to get the data for the ET.CPRT seismo but no joy.

It all loads up OK and finds the data I want, but then nothing happens. No download. I will try again later on.

reply to post by PuterMan


PM, this morning there is a new thread about the booms just 30 miles from Morristown, TN.

Here is another reading for your view and expertise. folkworm.ceri.memphis.edu...

Came from this thread www.abovetopsecret.com... "It's Back; Strange Sound Phenomena Returns to East Tennessee!"

earthquake.usgs.gov...

I wonder if its a populated area??

MAP 6.9 2013/02/14 13:13:54 67.678 142.486 21.1 NORTHEASTERN SAKHA, RUSSIA

Ah! I think the USGS made a typo. They list it as "Serbia" instead of Siberia.

I wondered why the quake map showed it out in the Siberian wastelands and not closer to the Adriatic.

reply to post by MamaJ


Oookay, USGS is giving a totally different location name to me

6.9 132km WSW of Druzhina, Serbia 2013-02-14 08:13:53 67.613°N 142.601°E 9.9

I didn't realize Serbia was in Siberia, lol. Yes, it's a typo, but it sure made my morning.

reply to post by PuterMan


Puterman, sorry it has taken so long to get back. Nuclear test North Korea, EQs Nevada, sounds from TN, Large EQ on the plate boundary in Siberia.

The fault system on the east side of the Sierras were not intended to get active like this until after two proceeding events. Look for Next Large quake in South America, or Alaska.

My sources say that they can no longer hold back what Mother Earth has to do to re-calibrate. Every time there is a nuclear test it affects the fluid movement of the the plates. Message to prepare for coming events for they must take place. Mankind's abuse through nuclear power, and mass consciousness madness has to cease as the Earth can no longer deal with the negative energies that have become so dense.

In reality this is where it all comes together. Man's actions and how it affects the Earth. The UFOs did not appear during the time of nuclear testing for no reason. Read between the lines.
