All Clear Coming Up!!! But Not Yet!!!

November 22, 2009

To: All EQ Alert People
From: The EQ Alert Guy

Hello,
The final alert from this years summer of 2009 earthquake season is just coming to an end. Today is about the final day of the most recent notable alert, however there is one much smaller one that will continue to run to December. That final one was a windstorm with maximum wind speeds under 100 and only the gusts were over 100 like at around 115 mph, but still just enough for a small alert. If you regularly follow my alerts you already know that isn’t too much to worry about.
Finally, they have begun getting measurable snow out on the West Coast and in the mountains and so this will begin to increase the basic chances of earthquakes shaking out along the West Coast and along the tectonic plate boundary out that way and I suppose this would mean the San Andreas Fault, however not to worry too much about a lot of shaking of that type quite yet, rather watch for more significant major amounts of snowfall out that way as well as across the rest of the USA, then worry. Not yet.
Otherwise this alert is basically fairly much of an all clear, however I quit using the term “All Clear” a few years ago, and there is still that one small windstorm and some snow. Thank-You again for reading!!! The EQ Alert Guy

Continue Watching Lake Tanganyika, Burundi, Columbia and Ecuador

My last Blog entry says that we should watch Lake Tanganyika through November 20, and so I am writing today just to remind everybody that we will continue watching for a fair to medium sized earthquake to strike over along the Mid-African Rift at around the Lake Tanganyika, Burundi, Tanzania Region through November 20, or like through next week, yet.

The other cities mentioned should probably continue beyond next week in the event that this earthquake has not struck yet. Note that there were two five plus earthquakes out at the Macquarie Island region that always tell me the Indian Ocean/Australian Tectonic Plate is moving. In this instance it could either be pushing the Pacific Plate towards North and South America, or the top of that plate could be pushing into those above Africa regions.

We should still watch for this to be around the 6 or 7 Richters range. Thank-You, again for reading. The EQ Guy

Just A Good Medium Sized Shaker Coming, Yet!!! Tanzania, Burundi, Lake Tanganyika, Colombia, Ecuador!

The two latest typhoons have caused just a real small amount of potential seismic energy and I want to make sure that people who follow my blog have this most recent up to date info.

The straight line from the landfall this weekend of Typhoon Kitsama at Taiwan will send a certian amount of potential seismic energy past Andaman and Nicobar Islands, and past Colombo and Sri Lanka where there could be a small 6 or 7 Richters foreshock as a result of that tectonic plate boundary moving slightly as this energy passes on to Africa. I'm guessing the seismic energy won't end there, although sometimes it does you know.

I'm mostly writing today to alert everybody that this line will cross Tanzania and Burundi probably between November 7 and November 20. Lake Tanganyika is directly in the path of this potential seismic energy and you might say that neighborhood is sort of due for some shaking, too!!! Couldn't find a "Shake Map" of that region so the region in general should be aware of this small to medium sized earthquake which will almost for certain strike there, probably not too much larger than 7 Richters Magnitude and in the coming weeks, too.

November 3 will be Day 31 after the landfall of Typhoon Parma and there is a full moon coming up one of these days, too, but the forshock which actually struck right at Taiwan while this typhoon was physically still striking the island, was just a 6.1 and so I'm not thinking too big of an earthquake there. Let's mostly watch Africa!!!
