6.8 Richters Chile!!! Major Earthquake Still Out There!?

Hello, I will need to research the present sources of earthquake energy that are lurking around the West Coast of the U.S., but can tell you that we are still watching due to one or two Major Earthquakes that believe it or not do not seem to have struck, yet! So as of right this moment Portland has just been struck by a 3.8 Richters, and moments earlier Chile a 6.8 Richters, with a 6.0 Indonesia in there somewhere. 3 Major swarms might not be the end of the earthquakes and so right now we should watch for more earthquakes and there might be something major out there yet! NOTE that I had previously watched for a 6.7 to 7.9!!! I will have more details to come, but right now it is important to be aware of earthquakes and that Portland shaker was just 10 or 20 miles from MT. ST. HELENS!!!!! EQ Guy

Legislature Introduces $80 Million Bill for Earthquake Early Warning System!!!

According to an SF Gate story published yesterday, California Legislators introduced a bill for $80 Million for that now famous Earthquake Early Warning System that you've all heard me talk about!!! Senator Alex Padilla, D-Los Angeles made the announcement yesterday at the California Institute of Technology saying they should have funding together by August and would rather have this system in place and operating BEFORE the next big California Earthquake. . . rather then after." It sounds like according to the story, that this Earthquake Early Warning System would be something of a Hybrid of the one that my good friend Professor Richard Allen of Berkeley Seismology demonstrated to me on my visit there in 2011 and you can read about here:
http://www.anzavalleyoutlook.com/story/62541/
Of course Caltech, USGS, The California Integrated Seismic Network and plenty of other Earthquake Professionals will all be involved in getting this sort of a huge network thing up and running you know! If I may quote the article that I will CITE below: "The network now feeds an early warning system that is in beta testing, providing warnings to researchers." and if I had thought to take some photographs in Professor Allens Office I would have more pics to post here today, Here is His "ElarmS" Website: http://www.elarms.org/ Unfortunately I was in Major Earthquake mode on the day I visited his office at UC Berkeley, and my camera was just basically running full-time to record me being potentially buried alive in the Next Big California Earthquake!!! Which struck at 8:15 THAT NIGHT!!! It was 5.9 Coos Bay Oregon.

For an illustration they used a re-creation of the 1933 Long Beach 6.4 to show how a warning would go out to folks all over Southern California and mentioned, as you already know if you have been following me, that it squawked, and a voice alerts you out loud, "EARTHQUAKE, EARTHQUAKE, EARTHQUAKE!!!" Although one of the things that the system will still need is to be adapted for all of the latest electronic devices, as well as it might take some configuration to work off the GPS on your cellphone for notifying people on the move. The current system let's you know by your position. . . which could change from time to time as it does these days! Here is the link to the story I first seen on the SF Gate Website: http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Proposal-would-create-Calif-quake-warning-system-4229931.php

So, California Folks might need to follow this story VERY CLOSE and it might yet be necessary to organize an effort to get the State Legislature and State Senate to keep this Bill moving towards the office of Governor Jerry Brown, ASAP!!!
Thank-You for Reading!!! EQ Guy

Swarms, Swarms, Swarms!!! Could L.A. or S.F. Be Next?

A couple hours ago my phone chimed with the latest in a series of earthquakes that science calls a Swarm, just struck down around the Pacific Rise somewhere offshore from the Western Coast of South America. I notice that the day and night of the Full Moon has been fairly generous to Los Angeles and San Francisco as far as getting A LOT of earthquakes. . . and I know the Naysayers are going to say there are ALWAYS a lot of earthquakes in L.A. and Frisco, but they overlook that quite often there are NONE. Also that it was the Night of the full moon and one had to scroll all the way to the bottom to even get to the beginning of that day alone!!!!! No idiotic Naysayer can tell me, or just about anyone reading this, that there is normally a hundred earthquakes in Frisco in the 1 to 3 Richters Range!!! THAT IS A LOT OF EARTHQUAKES!!!

Swarm at Pacific Rise, Swarm at Iceland, Swarm at Carlsburg Ridge, and apparently one that started in Andalucia, Spain just after that landfall of Bopha at Philippines, and Keep Watching because tonight is yet the night after that full moon and a few of the Earthquake Predictors who are out there use the days before and after the full moon, too. Me, I think if you start adding too many days it naturally will increase the odds and prefer sticking to just the exact date of the Full Moon, so be watching tonight, anyways! Don't forget that Frisco and L.A. have been getting a lot of smallish earthquakes and I want to say, as always this might be a good time to think Earthquake Preparation! What are YOU doing to be prepared!!! EQ Guy

Huge Earthquake, San Francisco????? 6.7 to 7.9 Richters???

Hello, This just came up all of the sudden with 3 small earthquakes in California, looks like Frisco might get something very soon, so I filed with CEPEC just now:

January 24, 2013

To: Jeanne Hardebeck, California Earthquake Prediction Evaluation Council
From: The EQ Alert Guy (Name Edited)

Hello Jeanne!
Hope you have been well and I want to wish you a Great New Year 2013!!! Today I am writing you due to the fact that there have just now been about three major small shakers in California and while I have been watching for one other huge source of earthquake energy in the 6.7 to 7.9 Richters Range and am now thinking it just might be possible that earthquake energy could possibly strike San Francisco in the coming hours.

As you probably know I track what I believe to be potential earthquake energy that might be the result of huge windstorms in this case the landfall of Super Typhoon Bopha at Philippines. I have now followed this supposed track of earthquake energy up to a 6.1 Pacific/Antarctic Boundary Earthquake and not only one Major Swarm at Carlsberg Ridge which I am sure you are aware never happens! Directly to an England Earthquake, Iceland Earthquake, and then Rejkjames Ridge Swarm and Offshore Brazil Earthquake both this week.

Finally, I am GUESSING that the next thing some of this earthquake energy did was pushed South America to the East and played some part in the Chile Earthquakes that next occurred, and then a 3.0 Near DFW Airport in Texas, and a 3.9 Colorado yesterday that caused me to GUESS California in an EQ Blog late last night. . . when only moments later a 4.0, which appears now as a 3.7 adjusted struck up near South Lake Tahoe, California followed by my phone chiming not too long later with a 3.5 up around Eureka, California and that was until just a few moments ago when my phone chimed again with yet another 4.0 also up around South Lake Tahoe, California. This could be that same Major Earthquake Energy ready to shake California at any moment. I am very sorry that there has been so little advance notice of this one possibly striking, due to it moving the Atlantic around one wouldn't usually guess Frisco due to Iceland and Brazil shaking you know.
Therefore, I want to Officially Guess that San Francisco will get a Major Earthquake in the range of 6.7 to 7.9 in the coming hours or day or two with the Full Moon being at 10:40pm CST on this Saturday Night! So if this big one hasn't struck by Saturday Night. . . it will be VERY LIKELY to strike on Saturday Night as you know the 5.9 Shaker of October 12, 2011 did the night I was in Frisco, the day we met at USGS Menlo Park, to personally Quake Chase it! This earthquake is nowhere near as certain, though, but does look like it might be heading much closer to San Francisco with the names of the towns and cities of Palo Alto, Sunny Vale, Santa Clara, Mountain View, and Milpitas showing up on the map in the general vicinity of where it looks like this earthquake might strike at any moment. I have a small amount of concern for the one particular area where they seem to have been getting a lot of small foreshocks at or very near where they are building the new football stadium for the 49ers to play in when they leave San Francisco next year.

Now my updated/truncated Curriculum Vitae: I recently got my Screen Actors Guild card and we are currently shooting a lot of projects in Chicago including "Chicago Fire," "Mob Doctor," and a brand new movie project starting soon! So as of last night I cast my very first ballot online for this years S.A.G. Awards and voted for a lot of my good friends that I have worked with in the movie business over the years including Kevin Costner in Hatfields and McCoys who I worked with in Hollywood on "Thirteen Days" and Anne Hathaway for Les Miserables who I worked with on a show called "Get Real," and finally Jullianne Margoleese who I worked with on "ER" at the Warner Brother Studios in Burbank. I was walking past her in the ER in a scene and the camera guy turned and I got hit pretty hard across the forehead with the "Barn Doors" on the big Panavision type camera like they use in Hollywood! Said I was OK, of course, and went back to shooting. . . don't recall what Ms. Margoleese might have said as it happened or if the director yelled CUT instantly because of me! Also voted for Alan Arkin in ARGO, and GLEE for Ensemble Cast TV and several others that I especially liked including Jeff Daniels for "NewsRoom" which I enjoyed at least one episode of so far, but loved him in "Gettysburg" and "Dumb and Dumber"!!

Thank-You Again for accepting my Earthquake writings and while NEPEC does not really require a copy of this O.P. by letter since it probably will not apply to National, rest assured that Mr. Blanpied at NEPEC will get a copy with all of my other earthquake friends later!

Sincerely,

4.0 California Immediately After Last Post!!! (Mentioning California)

Immediately after posting the following EQ Blog also today but earlier, my phone chimed with a 4.0 Richters Earthquake up around the South Lake Tahoe Region of California which was reported felt in Roseville, and Sacramento. That was followed by a 3.5 at Petrolia and 50 Miles from Eureka, California in the early morning hours of today along with several and possibly an unusual number of chimes last night compared to the usual none or one. Saying there does seem to be some earthquake energy happening and if my scientific research is correct. . . heading for California and our West Coast! Still a 6.7 to 7.9 Richters Out There, You Know!

There was a time when an earthquake was headed for Baja California so I skipped it over (it wasn't headed for California) and the now famous Easter Sunday Baja California 2010 Earthquake struck at 7.2 Richters on April 4, 2010 shaking ALL of Southern California! So, while this one might well strike neighboring states and regions, I want to add that I DID say California late last night, and it DID shake there immediately afterwards and practically all through the night and might still be shaking with something major still out there!!! Still a 6.7 to 7.9 Richters Out There, You Know! Be Prepared! EQ Guy

Texas 3.0, Colorado 3.9, Is California Next?

Still an alert over in Sumatra Region but I just noticed Colorado 3.9 and there was that one from Texas at 3.0 Richters yesterday @ http://stateimpact.npr.org/texas/2013/01/22/texas-is-shaking-again-3-0-quake-strikes-near-airport/
As a result i thought I should write that earthquake energy DID strike out in the middle of the Atlantic and now has struck those two places as well as a 6.1 Pacific Antarctic shaker earlier this week which could all mean it might be time for California to get something out of all this tectonic plate movement very soon and the Full Moon will be like tomorrow night depending on what time you are reading this. Should be the 26th. That Mid-Atlantic swarm probably was unusual and probably does mean there is still more earthquake energy out there! Keep Watching! EQ Guy

Final Day of Big EQ Alert 2012-13 Banda Aceh, Sumatra!!! Big Shaker???

I’m going to guess that because today is the last day in this alert that has now run to Day 52, that it will be the day of the Big Earthquake! Although I have to add that there is only the smallest reasons for me to say that, and the biggest part of the reason is just simply because in all of my research on this subject over the years Day 52 is the longest number of days after the major source of earthquake energy that the major shaker has struck. Now I have mumbled under my breath more than a few times that Day 60 just might be possible some day, but those occasions where that would be necessary are so few and far between that I do not even recall one. Therefore, let us watch today, Wednesday January 23, 2013 extra closely to see what shakes!!! Also noticed that in all of the Atlantic warnings and all the times I said the Atlantic was pushing East that I didn’t notice Chile right in the path if you draw a line from the recent Reykjanes Swarm and through the offshore Brazil earthquake that you come out very near the present Chile earthquakes that have just shook there like today. Reason I missed it I’ll blame it on the fact that I consider this earthquake energy to simply be pushing the North/South American Tectonic Plates and not to be lining up a straight line such as I demonstrated earlier in this EQ Blog. So, while today marks the day this earthquake will probably happen, statistically, it more likely marks the day that we will or might continue on watching to see what happens especially over around Banda Aceh, Sumatra, Indonesia where most of you had been watching anyways if you have followed my writings that closely. Keep Watching There!!! And Thank-You Again for Reading!!! EQ Guy

Serious Damage in Yesterdays Sumatra 5.9 Richters Shaker!!!

One dead and 15 injured in Sumatra from yesterdays 5.9 Richters Earthquake. Here is a link to a CNN Story: http://www.cnn.com/2013/01/21/world/asia/indonesia-earthquake/
While I am not sure if there have ever been any deaths or injuries in the region of Banda Aceh and Sumatra since their Great Earthquake and Tsunami of 2004, I do know that we have been tracking a major earthquake energy directly to that region and yesterday, today, and tomorrow were the final days of this alert. Here is that EQ Blog when I found Banda Aceh on the globe: http://earthquakealert.blogspot.com/2012/12/next-major-earthquake-band-aceh-phuket.html
So it might sound like I am now taking credit for having "Predicted" that a 5.9 Richters earthquake was going to strike, and I suppose I might agree that someday we would like to run right over to places such as Banda Aceh, Sumatra and announce that there was earthquake energy heading for them, AND we will forever wonder if we could have saved the folks who died and were injured when this one struck. For now let us just continue to watch for a few more hours to see if Sumatra, and Indonesia will shake more or even bigger. . . or if something might yet shake over around the Atlantic Ocean where there is also major shaking going on including the potential to shake our East Coast! Continue watching! Could be more Major Earthquake energy out there, yet! EQ Guy

5.9 Banda Aceh!!! Foreshock? Atlantic is Also Shaking! KEEP WATCHING!!!

These just shook like within the last hour as I am writing a 5.9 and 4.7 just a hundred miles south of Banda Aceh Sumatra, Indonesia and a 5.8 a few miles offshore Brazil in the currently very shaky Atlantic! Both of these could be and probably are foreshocks for a major earthquake that could happen at any minute. What will happen next? Tomorrow will be about the final day of this alert that began the day Super Typhoon Bopha made landfall at the Philippines on December 2, 2012. Still quite a large earthquake out there so let's watch through Wednesday but I'm here to tell you it looks like things are really starting to shake right this moment as I am writing with both Banda Aceh, and the Atlantic Region just a shaking!!! Be Watching and Be Prepared! EQ Guy

Major Earthquake Could Strike East Coast SOON!!! Be Prepared NY/DC!!!

As of this writing the very next in the series of Major Earthquake Swarms just struck at the Reykjanes Ridge at 4.7, 5.0, 4.9, and 4.9 so far adding up to 19.5 Richters! That's 1000 miles East of Newfoundland and like 1700 East of The State of Maine, USA!

This major earthquake energy MIGHT be continuing on heading now for Newfoundland, Labrador, Quebec, Gulf of St. Lawrence, New York, W.D.C., Richmond, or Illinois and Ohio! Final days of my method of tracking such earthquake energy puts this one on Monday January 21, 2013 or by the end of the day on Tuesday January 22, 2013!!! I want to dial in the potential magnitude by reducing it from what is the usual for a major at Sumatra, or 7.7 and reduce it for our East Coast to 6.7 to 7.9 Richters Range BUT. . . this IS a MAJOR EARTHQUAKE ENERGY and it IS out there along that possibly far overdue shaky region of the East Coast of the USA. This alert will only go on for a few days so be prepared! EQ Guy

England 2.9 Richters!!! Iceland 4.5!!! Where Next???

As you have read here it is my opinion that there might be Major Earthquake Energy heading for Europe and while a 2.9 near Birmingham, England isn't that big. . . there was also a 4.5 Iceland and so let's watch Lisbon, Portugal and those Azores for this to be the next big shaker they are waiting for! Both places seem to get a major earthquake just every so often, could this be the one? I suppose Richmond, Charleston, and Illinois, too! Day 50 will be on Monday, so any time this could shake and very easily put Day 48 or 49 on the map! With Day 43 already being famous for the Islamabad Earthquake falling on Day 43 after Katrina and among the longest time spans between a major windstorm and a major shaker although my studies found two beyond that on Day 50 and 52 so there may be something HUGE coming yet in the next few days! I just doubt the Carlsberg Ridge Swarm was the termination of all this earthquake energy AND if you haven't been following me that long I want to say here we DO have to, out of necessity, continue on watching this type of energy when we are not always sure the earthquake energy is gone, further, we have to continue to watch other times such as Eureka 2010 just for additional tectonic plate movement or Haiti as we know it today! Yes, pretty much any geologist or seismologist will tell you 81 Richters at Carlsberg Ridge COULD mean more tectonic plate movement, and THAT could mean more major earthquakes, yet!!! EQ Guy

Final Days! One More Earthquake Still Out There!?

Well here it is, Folks! Welcome to January 17, 2013!!! Yes, while we wait and watch for something major to shake very soon today just so happens to be the date the Great Northridge, California Earthquake struck back in 1994. While they do seem to be getting the occasional smallish earthquake out California way, I can’t honestly say that I have much in the way of reason to think that it’s anything more than just your basic “Garden Variety.” Spent a couple extra moments today carefully calculating the exact number of days we are on for this one last major earthquake that might yet be on the horizon and came up with this coming Monday as Day 50, and this coming Wednesday as Day 52. That will be January 21-23, 2013 for the final days that this one could possibly strike and the reason that’s interesting is it is the furthest I have followed earthquake energy to an earthquake. So, it seems very likely to me that we will probably get that one last earthquake in the coming days and if not, count on me taking it all the way up to the very last minutes of this one. . . on Wednesday, January 23, 2013!!!

Just finished re-calculating the recent Carlsberg Ridge Swarm and now have a Grand Total of 81.4 Richters with the most recent being on January 14 at 23:40 UTC. Also a 4.5 Richters at Iceland early today which when combined with yesterdays 6.1 at Pacific/Antarctic Plate Boundary could mean this earthquake energy is heading for a Major Shaker around Oklahoma, Illinois, Missouri, Ohio, Richmond. . . or Central America/Mexico. It does seem like the energy that was headed East is passing Iceland and the earthquake energy that was headed West is passing onto the Pacific Plate so I just want to mention that the U.S. is in the middle there! Keep Watching because it is the final days on this final source of Major Earthquake Energy! EQ Guy

6.1 Richters Pacific/Antarctic Plate Boundary!!!

Like I have been saying if you have been following this blog, there may still be Major Earthquake Energy out there! 6.1 Richters at that Pacific/Antarctic Plate Boundary is A LOT of earthquake energy still out there! You might also note that I seem to have accurately tracked it to this exact point on the globe! Then, the Pacific Tectonic Plate will probably bust a huge move in the coming hours and days and in the window of Day 50 to 52 we could well have that resultant from the landfall of Super Typhoon Bopha at the Philippines on December 2, 2012. Possibly still for Lima, Peru!!! But, I'm watching Santiago, Chile right in that general region of about where the Pacific Tectonic Plate might be moving towards and want to also say it would be a very big earthquake if this earthquake energy lets loose up around Central America, Mexico, or our West Coast. . . but the truth here is there might still be major earthquake energy out there and I personally see nothing wrong with talking about it and telling people that it might be a good time to discuss earthquake preparations!!! Keep Watching!!!

5.6 Richters Strikes Gulf of Baja California!!! Keep Watching!

The headline for this blog post was going to be "All Clear For California?" and then my phone chimed with at 5.6 Richters Earthquake that struck out in the middle of the Gulf of California and so I went and double-checked through my notes and found the landfall of Tropical Cyclone Evan at Samoa on December 13, 2012! Notes say (American) due to me not exactly knowing for sure if there are two different Samoa's? If so, then we are talking about Samoa and NOT American Samoa. One of the Contractors that I worked for in California actually has gone on jobs in American Samoa, so I'm sure these are two different entities. I've actually even wanted to go out to American Samoa on one of those jobs where the guys from Can Lines, Incorporated (CLI) have been out there working. . . all that said I would STILL like to go out to American Samoa some day and work!!! I think they said a canning plant of some sort, they are usually tuna, or pineapple or one of those types of plants and we work on the machines and conveyors which move cans throughout those plants and then occasionally some boxes, too!

So, the landfall of Tropical Cyclone Evan was at SAMOA with winds of 110 Kmh and a storm surge of 4.5 Meters and while I suppose there could still be some earthquake energy headed for Baja California, I wouldn't expect it to be much more that the 5.6 that just struck there around 11am this morning my time. Therefore no All Clear for California as of this writing, partly due to the fact that some tectonic plate movement could just occur around that southern portion of the San Andreas Fault and could shake Los Angeles or Santa Barbara Regions. But WATCH and see if I'm right about it looking like no Major earthquake energy heading for California.

Continue to watch that Indian Ocean/Australian Tectonic Plate, too, because the Great Islamabad Earthquake was Day 43 after the landfall of Hurricane Katrina and tomorrow, Monday January 14, 2013 is Day 43 after the landfall of Super Typhoon Bopha at the Philippines. EQ Guy

Haiti Earthquake Struck at 4 pm on January 12, 2010!!!

A little bit nervous today due to that fact! It was just another long and lonely day out in the middle of just another January except for the fact that only a couple days earlier I had been credited with correctly predicting that Eureka Earthquake that struck January 9, 2010 at 6.5 Richters. Kind of the same thing is going on here today right this moment since it did not seem that day as though all THAT Major Earthquake Energy had passed, either! Turned out I was right again that day and as far as continuing to follow for still more Major Earthquake Energy as I am doing right this moment, too!!! On that day I had anticipated it might be a continued major movement of the North American Tectonic Plate and that Haiti was positioned down there at that very vulnerable South East Corner of the plate!!! My only thought over those intervening couple of days was basically, "What IS down there in Haiti, anyways?" and more or less just assuming it was nothing more than one or two little islander types living in grass huts. . . that was the picture I could see in my minds eye that more or less represented the Haiti that I thought existed back in early January 2010. Of course today there are now many more pictures and news reports seem to say they are recovering, but it did turn out to become a very serious matter and I'm sorry there wasn't more that the science of Earthquake Prediction could have afforded to those folks!

We are watching that situation unfold right at this moment here today as well, with a quite similar earthquake energy over on another tectonic plate, the Indian Ocean Plate and having just looked at it again on the globe this morning I now also see Lake Tanganyika, Angola, The Congo, and one or two potential Volcanoes along the direct path delineated by the recent Carlsberg Swarm. . . if this earthquake energy were to follow such a line directly which for the record it does not seem to do when talking about this particular plate. Rather the top of the plate tends to push West and into all those other European Countries and kick out at the bottom towards New Zealand, Oceania, and The Pacific Tectonic Plate! So, keep watching as Monday January 14, 2013 nears, since it will be Day 43 after the landfall of Super Typhoon Bopaha and the Islamabad Earthquake struck on Day 43 after the landfall of Hurricane Katrina!!! EQ Guy

Looks Like NEW MOON is Tonight-Friday, January 11, 2013!!! Watch For Major Shaker/Tsunami Tonight!!!?

Just finished reading todays morning paper and it looks like TONIGHT FRIDAY January 11, 2013 is the ACTUAL night of the New Moon, not last night as most recent EQ Blog states! #Sorry! Soooooooooo, just remember that last New Moon produced that 6.3 Offshore San Diego Earthquake, and continue on watching to see if tonights New Moon WILL produce a Major Earthquake as well?
I want to repeat again here that there was that Great Carlsberg Ridge Swarm on Wednesday which was probably a Major Earthquake Energy AND will probably still become a Major Earthquake somewhere, and with that added pull of the New Moon! Also repeating about that one great experience of San Diego getting shook at 2am the VERY NIGHT OF THE NEW MOON during the last one! Well, TONIGHT is the very next New Moon. . . what will happen? Let's continue to watch Greece, Turkey, Italy, Sumatra, Indonesia, Azores/Iceland, and New Zealand through today January 11, well into late tonight, and through early tomorrow morning! And repeating that this alert will continue into Saturday which will be the anniversary of the Great Haiti Earthquake, January 12, but beyond the similarity in the date, I suppose anniversary alone won't increase the chance of something major shaking you know. ALSO, still a small chance of something shaking California or major aftershock around the Craig, Alaska region!? Just Sayin' that tonight, the night of Friday January 11-12, 2013 could be the night of the next big Earthquake/Tsunami somewhere!!! Sincerely, EQ Guy

Night of NEW MOON!!!!! Repeat of Major Shaker Tonight?????

The last New Moon produced that 6.3 Offshore San Diego Earthquake that garnered those 850 Felt Reports from The City of San Diego. WILL tonights New Moon produce a Major Earthquake in just the coming hours as well? There was that Great Carlsberg Ridge Swarm yesterday which was probably a Major Earthquake Energy AND will probably still become a Major Earthquake somewhere. . . possibly yet tonight and with the added pull of the New Moon on the surface of the earth! New Moon is currently just a new study that I am in the process of dialing in, so I don't have any more about the correlation with the new moon today, just that one great experience of San Diego getting shook at 2am the very new moon night during the last one! Although the International Dateline exists in between us and the area that I believe to be most likely to shake, we should watch Greece, Turkey, Italy, Sumatra, Indonesia, and New Zealand at least through the night and note that this alert will continue right into Saturday which will be the anniversary of the Great Haiti Earthquake, January 12. I suppose there will still be a small chance of something shaking California or major aftershock around the Craig, Alaska region!? Just Sayin' this could be the night of the next big Earthquake/Tsunami somewhere!!! EQ Guy

New Moon!!! Major Tectonic Plate Movement!!! Watch Sumatra!!!

It occurred to me that they might even be under that NEW MOON as the folks over in Nepal, and around the Carlsberg Ridge out in the Indian Ocean are shaking! In about the last 12 or 24 hours that Carlsberg Ridge area has gotten 67 Richters of Earthquake Energy and just so happens to be right at the exact tectonic plate boundary that we have been watching for movement along directly across and inline with Banda Aceh, Sumatra, Indonesia! This is also directly inline with the landfall of Super Typhoon Bopha at Philippines and inline with my "Go Straight Theory" which I hope someday can become a "Go Straight Law" for earthquake energy! So, now we might especially watch the other areas around the Himalayan Arc, Italy, Greece, and also France, Portagul, and Azores/Iceland, NZ, Oceania for a lot of earthquake energy! I have put this what seems like still upcoming earthquake in the 7.7 to 9.0 Richters Range and January 12 will be Day 40 and also the DATE that the Haiti Earthquake struck! Today is actually the anniversary of the Eureka 2010 Earthquake! Due especially to the New Moon being tomorrow night in the U.S., let's watch our West Coast, too! We might never know if Craig, Alaska was the snowfall or Bopha. . . or the reverse! EQ Guy

End of EQ Alert: California? Now Watching Turkey, Greece, Italy, etc.! 7.7 to 9.0?

Well it is looking more and more like the recent Craig, Alaska Earthquake of 7.5 Richters WAS all of the snowfall resultant earthquake energy we had been watching for and it is possible we will no longer need to keep watching California for any earthquake energy! Of course at this point just in case you may wish to keep watching California due to not being absolutely sure the earthquake energy has passed.

That leaves the 7.7 to 9.0 Earthquake energy we had also been watching for which might explain all of the brand new 5.4 to 5.7 Richters Earthquakes that keep ringing my phone over in Turkey, Greece, and Japan! NOW, if we do consider the snowfall resultant alert PAST. . .then let us be sure and be watching for this other big one that could actually still be a Major Earthquake!!! Still heading over towards Italy, France and etc., and still could move the Indio/Aust. Plate and affect New Zealand, Australia, Indonesia, or Oceania. Big Shaker Still Out There!!! Keep Watching!!! EQ Guy

(Note that after this blog was posted earlier today I discovered that there has been around 20 earthquakes in the 1 to 3+ Range up around Northern California!!! MIGHT Still be something shaking!!!!! EQ Guy)

Is There Still A California Earthquake Coming???

Looks like it might be just a little too quiet there on that list of latest earthquakes! Like I said just before that recent big Alaska 7.5 Earthquake, today I'm saying there is still earthquake energy out there and quiet is not the summer pond with no ripples on it by no means, rather methinks there is still something coming!

Now if you have followed my EQ Blog close, you were already watching and waiting for that one big one to shake, and then along came the severe winter conditions. As of this writing I haven't actually figured out for sure if Alaska was 1) Super Typhoon Bopha landfall at Philippines, or 2) Severe Winter conditions such as those that preceded Northridge, Paso Robles, and Eureka 2010. In the days since Alaska 7.5 Richters I have also recalled the Great Alaska Earthquake of March 27, 1964 which just so happened to have ALSO been preceded by severe winter conditions with the difference being it was a 9.0 Richters Shaker and that there were pictures of cars and one train buried in snow! (Not positive the train was for sure this occasion) The result of all this being that if the recent Alaska 7.5 was the snowfall resultant then it is a virtual all clear for California, and we would then need to go on to watch Europe, Italy, New Zealand, and Sumatra for that 7.7 to 9 Richters Earthquake. . . yet. However, if the Alaska 7.5 was the energy from the landfall of Typhoon Bopha, then the energy from those severe winter conditions are still out there, and still heading for California! Trust me when I say I will be working on this mathematical challenge in the coming hours and please let me know if any of you come up with anything that would help swing this in either direction! EQ Guy

7.7 Richters Earthquake Alaska!!! Keep Watching for More Earthquakes!!!

Yes, my phone rang loud at around 3am this morning because I have the text message alert turned up full blast knowing there was a huge earthquake coming! I immediately turned on the computer at 3am to see how bad the 7.7 Richters Earthquake reported 200 miles south of Juneau was. Now 7.5 Richters Adjusted. At the time there was a huge local tsunami alert which as of now at 9am has been canceled. Lots of stuff was reported falling off shelves but no injuries at nearby Craig, Alaska and there are right this moment 270 "Felt Reports" from Juneau, Alaska alone, with many, many reports from up and down that coast all the way to Vancouver and Seattle. Here is story from USA Today@ http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/01/05/quake-alaska-pacific-tsunami/1810677/

So, of course watch that Alaska region for more aftershocks since there have already been a few in the 4 and 5 Range, but I am also worried this huge movement of the Pacific Tectonic Plate might shake Japan, and we might especially keep watching Sumatra! Finally, the top of the Indian Ocean Tectonic Plate could continue moving West and strike over around that Mediterranean Arc including Greece, Italy and on to France, Spain, Lisbon, Azores. Add Haiti/Jamaica Region although unrelated more on that later.

California is already next inline for earthquake energy and it is slightly outside of my field to say if the movement that just took place up in Alaska will have an effect on the upcoming small snowfall resultant, but let's be watching California especially close for a 6 or 7 Richters Earthquake, too! Especially Eureka, Paso Robles, and Northridge since they are the famous January/December California Earthquakes of the recent past! And Be Prepared Everybody!!! EQ Guy

7.7 Richters JUST STRUCK South of Juneau, Alaska!!!

Tsunami Alert HAS BEEN Issued for those Alaska, and British Columbia/Canada regions near the epicenter of this just in 7.7 Richters Major Earthquake! (At Around 3am Central Time) Seem to be saying there will not be a Pacific Wide Tsunami alert! SEE USGS Report @ http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsww/Quakes/usc000ejqv.php

Be Watching California, Washington, and Oregon especially Alaska for MORE Major Earthquake Energy for the next few hours or day or so!!! While this does seem like a lot of earthquake energy, there is always the chance more could strike or areas of Alaska could get a major aftershock and possibly bigger than that original. Be Prepared!!! God Bless!!! EQ Alert Guy

Small Shakers Striking California! Foreshocks? Big Earthquake Coming?

While the size of earthquake we are waiting for in California is not a really big one, it does still look like it might be happening soon just the same! There have now been many, many very small shakers striking California on the page of latest earthquakes where commonly there are only a few from California. There now looks like there might be an upcoming issue with some of the snow possibly melting due to the forecast being for temperatures to hit the 50 Degree range next week! So, if there is an earthquake coming, then right at the moment it has at a minimum into next week to shake because then if the snow starts melting. . . end of EQ Alert: California this time!!!

Today will be Day 33 after the landfall of Super Typhoon Bopha at the Philippines and so between today and around January 13 and 14, 2013 we will continue to keep watching for what I believe should be about the biggest earthquake of all time up in that Euro/Asian Region that I have mentioned and you can read the names in earlier EQ Blogs of up through France, Italy, Spain and etc. Two 5 Magnitude earthquakes just struck around Tonga and so we know for sure the Indian Ocean/Australian Tectonic Plate IS moving and something probably WILL SHAKE over in that Europe/Asian Region very soon. After all Super Typhoon Bopha was a Cat 5 with winds of 150 mph and gusts reported at 121 mph on landfall, so I do not see any way we can escape this Major EQ Alert by way of a lot of small 5 Richters shakers since these all combined do not convince me that all this potential earthquake energy has been released. Further, those Tonga Earthquakes from today MIGHT mean if we give this earthquake a few more days that our West Coast, Central America, or South America could get this 7.7 to 9.0 Richters shaker. . . or somewhere among the islands of Oceania in between!!! Be Prepared! EQ Guy

Watch New Zealand, France, Spain, Lisbon, Portugal, Azores, Iceland!!! California Soon, Too!!!

There has been a lot of movement of the tectonic plates out around the Indian Ocean and it is Day 31 after the landfall of Super Typhoon Bopha at the Philippines on December 2, 2012 and so numerically speaking it should now be any day that something should be shaking out that way and I am especially worried around New Zealand, Italy, France and Spain as well as possibly Lisbon, Portugal and a guy who has written me from The Azores Islands saying they are supposed to also be due for a major earthquake some day! Iceland Volcano? Beyond about Day 30, or today, this major earthquake could reach well into those European regions! The plentiful foreshocks have recently been reaching 5.7, 5.8, and 6 Richters! We will start watching California again, too! Methinks this WILL BE the next major California Earthquake. . . especially if you count the recent Offshore San Diego 6.3 Richters Shaker as one! Start Being Prepared, Again, California!!! EQ Guy

Happy New Year 2013!!!

2012 was a Great Year for my EQ Blog and I want to start 2013 by Thanking Everybody who has took the time to give my EQ Blog a look and especially the Great Folks who have believed in me and especially those who have followed me for so long and believed in me all along! Welcome to those who only recently said out loud, "Oh My! You Actually Knew There Was Going To Be An Earthquake!!!" And I will look forward to keeping everybody up on the latest movements of ALL the Major Earthquake energy into the New Year 2013!!! Keep Watching Sumatra, Greece, Nepal, Italy, Vesuvius, and soon California for Major Shakers and Here's Wishing Everybody a Great 2013!!!!! Sincerely, The EQ Alert Guy
