EQ Alert; Full Moon!!!!!

Tonight is the night of the full moon and so I am writing today just to remind all my regular readers and bring some new folks up-to-date on the effect the full moon will now have on any potential seismic energy that might be circling the earth. Without going into a detailed explanation of the numbers; it does seem, and has halfway shown just on my watch, that we do seem to witness a larger amount of bigger earthquakes beginning about the three days before the full moon and especially it would seem on the night of it.

This particular full moon will tonight be more critical because there are people in all corners of the world watching for earthquakes and so I feel it is important for me to point out that some full moons can be responsible for higher tides and that the higher tides at the very least apply that much more pressure onto the tectonic plate boundaries and other points of the tectonic plates. This will virtually always increase the chance for seismic energy to be released during some point in the rising of the tide and it’s position at high tide. The added force of high tide can release existing seismic energy.

While keeping track of what I consider to be all the active sources of potential seismic energy, and up to this point today and tonight, I want to now add that there IS NOT a lot of potential seismic energy that remains since you have to admit there has been quite a large amount of seismic activity in the recent days and weeks and so I consider most of that to have been the shakers we were watching for if you read and follow my writing that close. Thusly, while tonight IS the full moon, and that has indicated just in recent months as much as 500 Richters of shakers, tonight there hopefully WILL NOT be anything shaking quite that much and let’s hope for nothing to happen at all!!!

Note that the recent Italy earthquake struck on Day 3 before this here full moon, and I also need to point out that measurements of radon gas such as the seismologist used to predict that earthquake, have been of some use and I actually take them into consideration when watching for major earthquakes to strike. It is also possible that they are directly related to “earthquake clouds” which commonly are being found to precede major earthquakes, there had been some very excellent ones photographed at China immediately preceding the Sichuan earthquake recently as well!!!
