Title: Earthquake Swarm In SoCal could it be the big one?
Post by: Littleenki on August 27, 2012, 02:03:55 PM
Dutch from youtube an earthquake researcher has shared this with us..and the mainstream isnt saying much..very telling behaviour for the media.

Right before teh japanese earthquake recently, this activity was observed, so if you live near SoCal...get that ready bag well, ready.

Also, heres a link to keep an eye on the USGS sensors for the next week or so, to stay in tune...

Dutch LOVES to exaggerate but even he says he can't say its the big one :P  Strongest was a 5.1 (downgraded once all results are in It always shows higher on the first report)

Swarms are common... just watch IRIS any given day.

What I am seeing is a LOT of small events all along that coast and down to South America...  this is a good thing... relieves the stress so no big one :D

I see he mentions a lot at 2.5-3.0...

Magnitude    Description  Earthquake effects                    Frequency of occurrence
< than 2.0 Micro      Micro earthquakes, not felt.       Continual
2.0–2.9    Minor      Generally not felt, but recorded. 1,300,000 per year (est.)
3.0–3.9              Often felt, but rarely causes damage.    130,000 per year (est.)
4.0–4.9    Light   Noticeable shaking of indoor items, rattling noises. Significant damage unlikely.    13,000 per year (est.)
5.0–5.9    Moderate    Can cause major damage to poorly constructed buildings over small regions. At most slight damage to well-designed buildings.    1,319 per year
6.0–6.9    Strong    Can be destructive in areas up to about 160 kilometres (99 mi) across in populated areas.    134 per year
7.0–7.9    Major    Can cause serious damage over larger areas.    15 per year
8.0–8.9    Great    Can cause serious damage in areas several hundred kilometres across.    1 per year
9.0–9.9    Devastating in areas several thousand kilometres across.
   1 per 10 years (est.)
10.0+    Massive    Never recorded, widespread devastation across very large areas; see below for equivalent seismic energy yield.
   Extremely rare (Unknown/May not be possible)

why? Your entire list is all little stuff you can't even feel. I wish people would learn to understand the Richter Scale

2.0–2.9    Minor      Generally not felt, but recorded. 1,300,000 per year (est.)
3.0–3.9              Often felt, but rarely causes damage.    130,000 per year (est.)

No need to panic yet :P

A while back at ATS there was some rumbling in Alaska. It was noticed only because a volcano also popped its cork..

At that time there were over 100 quakes PER HOUR... everyone at ATS went into panic mode... but when you checked the reports history of the area, you see that this is normal for that region :P

Must be HAARP  LOL

Don't worry. Its not rapture time yet :P

i would be panicking too but i learned from watching a swarm in south-central california, during the time yellowstone was getting quite a few swarms of low level (i think 4 was the highest and had people on alert),  that california is almost constantly shaking, somewhere.  one area was by some old caldera in california, that had a fault line that connected to the san andreas, so i was all EEEK, get out quick,  california people.  that was 2 years ago.  nothing happened, just another month of 1.0s and 2.0s then the swarms moved somewhere else. 

it's like that all the time there.  there and along the entire southern edge of alaska, it's like non stop 1.0s and 2.0s, with the occassionally 3 or 4 when the ring of fire is especially active

depends on who you read.  if you read cayce, he said most of florida was gonna sink.  i live in florida.  not sure what to think of cayce's ideas.  wouldn't put it past some of the occult branches out there to try to make it happen just so they could point and say, see, told ya so, kinda like biblical prophecy people get accused of using the prophecies as a play book and actually wanting or making bad things happen so they could say, see, told ya so.  honestly, i prefer the people friendly version.  where everything makes sense, there's no big mystery to it, we understand exactly and there's no confusion as to what needs to be done, but that aint gonna happen on its own, so, next best thing is to wish/hope/pray for the best, for everybody.

i mostly meant weather-wise warning or earth erupting warnings...
but the rest are good too

if i lived next to a flood zone  and got flooded the 2nd time.. i would be looking to move to
higher ground...
if i wanted a garden i wouldn't live in a dessert
that kind of thinking
if i lived in the gulf and got hurricaned every so many years.. i would move..
that's where i was going with my comment

if cayce said to move..and i did and still luv to read cayce..i would look into to it
the rest have all come out of mostly his stuff so not sure i would put a lot of value on it

if its haarp,probly using it to find all those underground border tunnels.
as for florida,if a big one hit there,florida would turn into a bunch of islands.that whole land sets on a limestone foundation thats riddled with caves.orlando is covered in sinkholes.i saw bmw dealership get swallowed up!? all those lakes around there are sinkholes and there everywhere.

it was 12 miles deep, 86 miles off the coast, in the water.  generated a 3.4 inch tsunami.   so seems like everything's okay.

I  have no info yet on the quake - just saw it on the USGS link posted in the OP.

This quake was at a depth of about 20 km- that compares to 24 km for the relatively recent Japanese Quake. 

Here is one of the reports, which discusses some of the quakes which are occurring in California.

Im going to say it, I woke hubby up in the wee hours of the morning,
said...that feels like an earthquake.

I muttered in his sleep..."sure sweetheart".

Strong quake shakes El Salvador

QuoteA strong magnitude-7.4 earthquake struck off the coast of El Salvador and a tsunami warning was issued but there were no immediate reports of damage or injuries, authorities said early Monday.

A tsunami warning was in effect for Costa Rica, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala, Panama and Mexico after the quake struck at 10:37 p.m. Sunday. But David Walsh, an oceanographer with the Pacific Tsunami Center in Ewa Beach, Hawaii, said a minor, 20-centimeter (7.8-inch) swell was registered off Acajutla, El Salvador.

The National Weather Service said sea level readings confirm a small tsunami was generated. The tsunami may have been destructive along the coastlines of the region near the earthquake epicenter.

All tsunami warnings have since been canceled.

The quake was located 86 miles (138 kilometers) south-southwest of San Miguel, the U.S. Geological Survey reported on its web site. The temblor took place at a depth of 32.9 miles (53 kilometers).

Alfonso Lara of El Salvador's Civil Protection agency said authorities were alerted to the threat of a tsunami. "We are doing a general monitoring of the entire coast through our technicians and representatives," he said.

San Diego rattled by earthquake

QuoteDozens of small to moderate earthquakes struck southeastern California on Sunday, knocking trailer homes off their foundations, shattering windows and rattling nerves in a small farming town east of San Diego.

The largest quake, at 1:57 p.m., registered at a magnitude 5.5 and was centered about three miles northwest of the town of Brawley, said Robert Graves, a geophysicist with the U.S. Geological Survey. Another quake about an hour and a half earlier registered at magnitude 5.3.

No injuries were reported.

More than 30 additional earthquakes with magnitudes of at least 3.5 jiggled the same area near the southern end of the Salton Sea, Graves said.

"The type of activity that we're seeing could possibly continue for several hours or even days," Graves said.

The quakes pushed 20 mobile homes at a trailer park off their foundations, displacing the families that lived in them, said Maria Peinado, a spokeswoman for the Imperial County Emergency Operations Center.

Sporadic power outages affecting 2,500 Imperial Irrigation District customers also prompted authorities to evacuate some patients from one of the county's two hospitals.

At the El Sol Market in Brawley, food packages fell from shelves and littered the aisles.

Several glasses and a bottle of wine crashed to the floor and shattered at Assaggio, an Italian restaurant in Brawley, said owner Jerry Ma. The shaking was short-lived but intense, he said.

"It felt like there was quake every 15 minutes. One after another. My kids are small and they're scared and don't want to come back inside," said Mike Patel, who manages Townhouse Inn & Suites in Brawley.

A TV came crashing down and a few light fixtures broke inside the motel, Patel said.

A Brawley police dispatcher said several downtown buildings sustained minor damage.

The first quake, with a magnitude of 3.9, occurred at 10:02 a.m. The USGS said more than 100 aftershocks struck the same approximate epicenter, about 16 miles north of El Centro.

Some shaking was felt along the San Diego County coast in Del Mar, some 120 miles from the epicenter, as well as in the Coachella Valley, southern Orange County and parts of northern Mexico.

USGS seismologist Lucy Jones said earthquake swarms are characteristic of the region, known as the Brawley Seismic Zone.

"The area sees lots of events at once, with many close to the largest magnitude, rather than one main shock with several much smaller aftershocks," Jones said.

The last major swarm was in 2005, following a magnitude-5.1 quake, she said.

Sunday's quake cluster occurred in what scientists call a transition zone between the Imperial and San Andreas faults, so they weren't assigning the earthquakes to either fault, Graves said.
