Thanks for the link robo I am looking at it now.

Hi robo,

Interesting article.

Most seem oblivious to what is about to happen...

You build a house on an active fault... you KNOW one day you will loose your house and maybe your life.... yet the prime real estate in Hollywood sits LITERALLY on these faults

You build a house where mud slides occur during heavy rains... you KNOW one day you will loose your house and maybe your life.... yet the prime real estate in California sits LITERALLY on these mud hills.


You build a house on an active VOLCANO... you KNOW one day you will loose your house and maybe your life.... yet the prime real estate in ITALY sits LITERALLY on a Volcano, one that gave us Pompei


New Zealand sits on the lip of a subsidence fault as does Japan...  so it will be a bumpy ride   New Zealand Islands are not Islands, they are volcano tops  so it will be a smokey ride...

Be safe  have a jet pack standing by

That reminds me, I live south of a supervolcano.  I guess it's not if, it's when.

All fuelled up and ready to go Z ...

I was about to say things have gone quiet (after about 112 small earthquakes occurred)
then we had this one a few minutes ago.

Public Id: 2013p678884
NZST: Monday, September 9 2013 at 4:29:53 pm
Maximum intensity ?: moderate
Depth: 11 km
Magnitude: 4.1
Location:  20 km east of Seddon

NOT in Cook Strait but at the southern end of the South Island (Same Trench)
about 75 km from Invercargill, and also another very Shallow Earthquake ?

Public Id: 2013p679130
NZST: Monday, September 9 2013 at 6:40:46 pm
Maximum intensity ?: moderate
Depth: 5 km
Magnitude: 3.9

We are still getting some earthquakes above 4.1 Magnitude in Seddon near Cook Strait,
besides many, many, smaller earthquakes (below 3.5) in the same area.

What I find unusual is that we are getting many shallow earth quakes (between 5 & 20 Km deep)
the length of NZ along both these Ridges.

Note: Also in NZ it appears that Two Ridges, One crust fracture (or old Trench) and the kermadec Trench
off the Eastern coast of the North Island all combine in "the Main divide", down the south Island.

The Southern Alps from one end of the South Island to the other.

Last nights Earthquake:

Public Id: 2013p690484
NZST: Friday, September 13 2013 at 11:30:17 pm
New Zealand region intensity ?: light
Maximum intensity ?: moderate
Depth: 16 km
Magnitude: 4.2
Location:  30 km east of Seddon

Another Shallow Earthquake;

Public Id: 2013p692884
NZST: Saturday, September 14 2013 at 8:48:43 pm
Maximum intensity ?: moderate
Depth: 5 km
Magnitude: 3.3
Location:  30 km west of Haast

Further south but in "The Main Divide" (Southern Alps)

And another Shallow Earth Quake in the Northern End of the South Island

Public Id: 2013p693214
NZST: Saturday, September 14 2013 at 11:44:39 pm
Maximum intensity ?: moderate
Depth: 5 km
Magnitude: 3.8
Location:  15 km east of Karamea


Involving the "Whakamarama Fault".  (Old Spelling; Wakamarama) which I referred to as the Old Trench
(perhaps a Fracture in the Earths Crust, which passes northward through the South Taranaki Bight
to just North of Whanganui (near Maxwell) and North East, across the North Island.


The "Whakamarama Fault".  (Old Spelling; Wakamarama)

This is the Fault the Gov. warning was about !

http://tvnz.co.nz/national-news/new-west-coast-earthquake-fault-found-5573887

New research has revealed that some of the West Coast is sandwiched between enormous offshore
fault lines and the Alpine Fault.

They are the type that generate tsunamis, which is bad news for coastal townships because it is unknown
when they will rupture.

National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (Niwa) scientists today released a report
from a two-year mapping project for the West Coast Regional Council, which wanted to assess
earthquake and tsunami risk for its coastal communities.

The report identifies 10 active marine faults in a 320-kilometre stretch from Hokitika to Farewell Spit.

That includes three new faults, informally named the Farewell, Elizabeth and Razorback faults,
and divides the 250km-long Cape Foulwind Fault into five segments.

The faults run parallel to the coastline within 30km of land, some only a few kilometres offshore,
and vary in length from 10km to the longest, Kongahu Fault, at 120km.

Niwa marine geologist Philip Barnes said yesterday the largest could generate major quakes
of magnitude-6.5 to 7.8.


National tsunami modelling, prompted by the 2004 Boxing Day Indian Ocean tsunami,
showed no marine faults off the West Coast so the new research filled in a huge gap
in understanding seismic hazards, he said.

The latest information would be used to update the country's seismic hazard work.

While the faults were relatively large and capable of causing severe quakes, Barnes said
the good news was they had extremely long recurrence intervals so would only rupture
once every 7500 to 30,000 years.

"But we've got no idea when the last earthquake occurred on any of them. For all we know,
that may be very close."

They were compressional faults, which typically would lift the seabed when they ruptured, he said.

Barnes said work on the recent quakes in Canterbury and Seddon showed all faults interacted
with nearby faults, which meant marine faults off Hokitika could stir up the nearby Alpine Fault.

The Alpine Fault is New Zealand's largest fault, which spans 600km from Fiordland to Marlborough
and ruptures every 330 years on average.

That is some very interesting Seismic activity Matrix, especially the huge ope gap of no activity.

Hi 1WW,

"Do you read anything farther into this type of pattern Matrix?"

Just a guess on my part here but it appears the Main Divide is locked and building up pressure
for a very large earthquake to take place.


This could be why Seismologists from all over the world including the USA visit the Southern Alps.

If such a Earthquake took place this would affect every fault connected or produced by
the South Island Ridge, esp. Cook Strait which is more like a Plate (Crust) Fracture than a true Trench.


I feel strongly that some sort of "Subsidence" in Cook Strait, may account for what I saw through "Remote Viewing".

But what is seen through "Remote Viewing" is only One of many "options", involving events.

My understanding is, what we believe or understand to be, both "Past" and "Future" is only an Illusion !


Only the Present exists.

(Note the spelling is the same for both the "Gift" and the "Moment".)

So my Interest is in the Phenomena of "Remote Viewing"... rather than any disaster.

Just a guess on my part here but it appears the Main Divide is locked and building up pressure
for a very large earthquake to take place.

I think that the area with no activity has only low depth earthquakes, as the chart shows only earthquakes at depths bigger than 40km.

From my understanding of it, shallow earthquakes are probably the result of other movements, like aftershocks, as if things keep on rearranging themselves for some time after a large earthquake.
