No Major EQ Alerts! Got My Car All Fixed, Too!!!

Currently there are no Major shakers that could be considered heading directly for us, BUT everybody should also remember that a major earthquake COULD always happen, so here is a link I just discovered to some Earthquake Survival stuff! This company is not a sponsor: http://www.quakekare.com/

Finally, somebody could have mentioned that two hose clamps will not hold a high-pressure power steering line and the way I found that out was from putting it all together and pulling out of the driveway where it blew apart and left a long trail of power steering fluid all the way up to the corner where I did a U-Turn without any power steering and drove it back to the house. A new-used replacement hose from my new Junkyard Friends in Eagle, Wisconsin got me back on the road and it took me and Pete 20 Minutes this morning to change both front axles and I am off Rollerblading now in the forecasted 85 Degree Spring Day!!! Have a Good Day, Everybody!!! EQ Guy

First a 3.2, NOW a 2.8 Richters Los Angeles!!! More Coming??? Here's My Opinion:)

Just 6 hours after the recent full moon [window] Los Angeles was struck by that 3.2 Richters earthquake which might have otherwise gone virtually unnoticed if it hadn't been for the fact that we were basically on 24 hour Earthquake Watch right at that moment. I have just now went back to that shaker and re-calculated the felt reports to find that Los Angeles alone had almost exactly 1000 Felt Reports! Now, this just in. . . another 2.8 has struck virtually the same spot a couple miles Southeast of Marina Del Rey. So just writing tonight to say it is possible that the original 3.2 could have been the "Main Shock" and tonights 2.8 could have just been a little aftershock, but do not quote me since my education is seriously in the junkyard where I have basically been for the last 3 or so days getting parts to fix my car! My own personal opinion on whether there is much more coming in the way of shaking for my friends in Los Angeles, or California for that matter, is NO. But, again, this is just my own personal opinion. . . the opinion of a guy who could NOT fix a tiny leak in the high pressure side of the power steering lines in his car. Cut the hose right at the spot where there was a tiny pin hole leak and placed a two-sided 3/8 inch braded hose link with two big hose clamps and power steering fluid still found a way to leak! Then tried Perma-Tex #2 and put it all back together again and it still, now very slowly, leaks! Might just go back to that junkyard where I bought the alternator because they have a nearly identical car to mine and just buy the top hose off of it! Unless anybody else knows what I did wrong? My only guess is I really need special "High-Pressure Fittings" to link the two hose sections and not a simple link with two hose clamps! AND it is also my opinion Los Angeles is not in any immediate danger of a major earthquake. . . but it is always a good idea to be prepared just in case!!! EQ Guy

3.2 Richters Earthquake Shakes MUCH of Los Angeles!!! Hours After Peak of Full Moon!!!

I just did the math concerning that 3.2 Richters Earthquake that struck Los Angeles late last night and was reported in the news as well. Window for 24 Hour period after the EXACT MOMENT of the full moon ran until 1:00pm Pacific Time although I generally may allow a few hours beyond, this one struck at exactly 6 Hours and 52 Minutes after that exact moment and it is beyond my knowledge of the science of the Full Moon as to whether there was any additional pull of the full moon which was probably very nearly high over head out there in L. A. at the time. Although I don't exactly know what time their moonrise was, it could have just been rising out there. Huge number of felt reports and you can click on Maps, "Did You Feel It", and then "Responses" to see them all on the USGS Page for this earthquake at: http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsww/Quakes/ci15333497.php
Some of the farthest reaches of the Los Angeles area reported feeling it, including 1 Felt Report from Northridge, a couple from Van Nuys, 3 from Burbank, 2 from Glendora, and 1 reported feeling this earthquake all the way down in Costa Mesa! The epicenter of the shaker was 2 Miles Southeast of Marina Del Rey and 12 Miles Southwest of Downtown L.A., and at 3.2 the felt reports from Orange County seem to be about the limit. So you decide! WAS this Los Angeles Earthquake connected to this months Full Moon? Should the folks of the Los Angeles Area be told that full moons such as this one correlate with earthquakes? 30 Hours after that exact moment of the Full Moon, just sayin'!
So, I got the new alternator in, battery light went out and of course it's charging, and found another power steering fluid leak! This one on the high pressure side! Be fixing it tomorrow! EQ Guy

2 Big Shakers Struck On April Full Moon!!! Window Now Over! Anymore Earthquakes Coming???

Yes, don't forget about that big 6.2 Richters Earthquake that chimed my phone in the middle of the night last night at like 2am! Hard to ignore the Kermadec Island, New Zealand Earthquake that struck 600 Miles off the shore of Wellington, New Zealand and of course I just want to say again New Zealand folks do not yet routinely prepare on these dates of the full and new moons especially when there seems to be more potential energy. Again, it is my sole purpose here with my EQ Alert stuff to casually inform people of heightened times for possible earthquakes! So don't listen to all of those naysayers who are saying "Les said this" or "Les said that" because for the record I never actually said anything WOULD happen as this jackass is tweeting: https://twitter.com/QuackPredict/status/327868236374884352

By the way there was also another small series of 5 Richters Earthquakes at the Andreanof Islands, Alaska like I have also been writing about. Here is one of those: http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsww/Quakes/usb000gfyz.php Of course my regular followers already know the Aleutian Islands have not had earthquakes of this caliber in quite some time! That is up until you first read it here this week!!! So, as of this writing there is not too much more out there in the way of earthquakes. . . of course there COULD always be something shaking! In the meantime I fixed a power steering fluid leak, will be replacing my alternator, and front axle on my car and doing some wood carving now with the weather getting much nicer! Thank-You for Reading! EQ Guy

Downtown Los Angeles 3.2 Tonight!!! @ http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsww/Quakes/ci15333497.php

Full Moon Overhead!!! Something Could Shake At Any Moment!!!

Hello, I'm still watching very closely for something major to shake TONIGHT!!! Just afraid mostly for all my California friends due to how close this potential earthquake energy is to shaking California! I have given some thought to the snow melting in Fargo and actually looked up todays high temperature in Denver, Colorado and it was something like 59 at the time, although I just checked this moment and it says 65 Degrees as of 9pm tonight, Thursday, 10pm Mountain Time! So, as the hours tick away and the Full Moon is now overhead and on it's last moments of increasing the chances for a Major Earthquake anytime soon, so is the snow melting and decreasing the chances of a major earthquake shaking any time soon! Just a matter of how fast that snow melts and runs off far downstream to ease the "Weight On The Tectonic Plate" therby reducing the effect of my "Weight on the Tectonic Plate Theory." Finally I had also heard there may have been some tornado damage down around Louisiana and I will have updates on that info.

Keep Watching for something to shake at any moment tonight through early tomorrow! It is my experience that there seems to be enough potential energy out there for something to shake yet, and it could be California! Or Alaska, Seattle, Oregon, Idaho, etc.! Let's Stay With 5.5 to 6.5 Richters, too! Thank-You Again for reading! EQ Guy

Exact Moment of Full Moon is 3pm Central Time, Snow Melting in Fargo! Now 5.5 to 6.5!

Just seen on Weather Channel it is currently 47 degrees in Fargo and I might guess also rather warm in Colorado. Good for folks who have waited long time for warmer temperatures and for us it melts a lot of the snow we have been keeping an eye on up in the Northern Regions. Exact moment of the Full Moon will be at 3pm Central Time or 1pm Pacific today. A few of the Full Moon/New Moon Earthquakes have struck right in the hours immediately before and after the full moon and so the early hours of this afternoon could produce something. Sorry that I do not have all the temperature data from all the recent days since areas such as the Twin Cities and Northern Wisconsin got the most recent bout of 2 feet of snow just this weekend and I was up there seeing the reports on the local TV for myself! I can report that lakes and rivers were still frozen that far north as of Saturday, but any amount of degrees above freezing will produce snow melt and subtract from the seriousness level of this EQ Alert. Good for folks who have been worried about it! In fact I might even reduce the top number in the range from 7 to 6.5 for a new range of 5.5 to 6.5 although not sure how serious the snow melting is in Colorado, so let us hope for smaller sized earthquakes with no damage or injury! And YES, that would include those occasionally shaky Idaho, Nevada, and Wyoming/Montana Regions, too!
Continue to Watch! Continue to Be Prepared! Something Usually Shakes on days such as these with a Full Moon and a lot of Earthquake Energy going on!!! EQ Guy

Full Moon is High Above Us!!! Will Our West Coast Get This Major Shaker???

Well my phone chimed at around 5 this afternoon and at first I was sort of in shock knowing the full moon window had started just a couple hours earlier. Then as soon as I checked my text message from www.twitter.com/earthquakes to see where the earthquake was and how big, it occurred to me that when I saw Sichuan, China that they were one of the probably MOST likely places to get a major earthquake with the full moon. In their case it would probably be considered a Major Aftershock, but just the same it still has the potential for doing a tremendous amount of damage at that very, very shaky Sichuan, China region where they have now had countless deaths due to earthquakes. The point that I suppose I want to make is that a lot of you folks reading this know there is bound to be something major shaking in the coming minutes and hours, but the folks in the Sichuan, China region probably DO NOT know that there is a slightly higher chance of earthquakes associated with the hours before and after a full and new moon. Also was surprised to see the moonrise so full looking and got a few Great Shots of it already tonight. Make sure you take a look outside and see it yourself just a little to the south tonight! And be watching because there will almost certainly be some amount of shaking and I'm very sorry to say that on this occasion it appears it might be our West Coast!!! 5.5 to 7 Richters? Be Watching and Be Prepared All! EQ Guy

Small Offshore Eureka Shaker! More For California??? Full Moon Window is Here! 5.5 to 7?

It was originally a 3+ Richters Earthquake although I now see it posted as 2.9, just saying something DID shake up in that Triple Plate Junction region and I will be expecting a lot more to happen with the window for this months full moon beginning at 3 O'Clock this afternoon! Beginning at the Andreanoff and Rat Islands in the Aleutian Islands, Alaska and probably including Queen Charlotte Island, Canada then Seattle, Oregon, and Eureka, Frisco, and California should all be watching very closely over the next 48 hours for 5.5 to 7 Richters. This is one of those Full Moons that could mean a Major Earthquake. . . if not for our West Coast, then perhaps Mexico or Central America. Be watching beginning any moment, but especially as 3 Central Time comes around for the next two days with the full moon being high in the sky at the height of this occasion that has been know to bring major earthquakes along with it from time to time. This may be one of those times due to a lot of Major Earthquake Energy being out there! Be Watching and Be Prepared West Coast!!! EQ Guy

Now a Series of Earthquakes at The Aleutian Islands!!! Add San Francisco to this EQ Alert!!!!!

Well, if nothing else shakes during the time it takes me to write this EQ Blog here today, then we'll be very lucky! My best readers already knew about the Aleutian Islands being about to shake, so it will come as no surprise that in addition to the big 5.7 Richters shaker that struck up there just hours after I posted, there have now been a major series of 4 and 5 Richters shakers at Rat Islands/Aleutian Islands that started at 11:36pm Sunday Night Central Time and ran through 1:21am Monday Morning my time, CDT. Now totaled 35.8 Richters! Pretty good guess if I say so myself! Considering those Islands of Alaska probably have had NO other earthquake energy in recent memory.

Brings me now to WHO will shake next? I have no doubt that those 35.8 Richters of earthquake energy are now heading as fast as I am writing, for North America and this time I did some checking before writing and found "Great Bear Lake" in Northern Canada, and "The Duke of York Archipelago" also up there in that Great White North Region. While either of those places that are very much in line for some major earthquake energy could well get hit with virtually no damage or injuries. . . Seattle is just 2000 miles off to the East SouthEast and it WILL be very much noticed, like wise if Mount St. Helens decides to erupt like today or tomorrow! Finally I notice the State of California is situated somewhat further south, but the name of the city San Francisco glares at me on that Google Earth map and so it might be time to say Frisco in this here EQ Blog!!! I'll stay with 5.5 to 7 Richters since this series has not gone too far over that and let us watch Seattle, Triple Plate Junction, Offshore Coos Bay and Eureka, Frisco and California with the effect of this months full moon beginning at any moment! Be Prepared!!! Sincerely, The EQ Alert Guy

5.7 Richters JUST STRUCK at Andreanoff/Aleutian Islands Alaska!!!!! Keep Watching! California?????

Wasn't really that bad of a guess saying Aleutian Islands and turned out not to be too far off, either! When phone chimed just an hour or so ago announcing a 5.7 Struck out there in the middle of those Alaskan Islands situated between Anchorage and Japan! SEE USGS@ http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsww/Quakes/usb000gd5d.php#details We might continue to watch for more shaking out there, but Anchorage might be next, or a return to that epicenter known as Craig, Alaska from earlier in 2013. Then Seattle and California, BUT today I want to add that it is possible this line of Major Earthquake Energy will be traveling much farther North and that leaves just a slight chance Yukon, or Northern Canada could get something. Too early in the morning yet for me to try to track movement of the Far Northern reaches of the North American Tectonic Plate and figure out what all it might do from where the movement of it is right this moment? Perhaps Azores, Iceland, Haiti??? I will have a full report prepared tonight for my usual Early Monday Morning EQ Blog! Watch for the Major Earthquake Energy to continue striking, and keep watching Seattle, Triple Plate Junction, Coos Bay, Eureka, and California for 5.5 to 7 Richters or more!!! Be Prepared!!! EQ Guy

SEE EQ BLOG ENTRY BELOW FOR ALEUTIAN ISLANDS ALERT!!!:

Especially Watch The Aleutian Islands, too!!! Then TPJ, Coos Bay, California!!!

Well the latest in this series of earthquakes has just now struck as of late tonight. 6.1 Izu Islands 300 Miles South of Japan. Again, someone might have guessed that after the earthquake energy struck up around Sichuan, China that it could hit the Japan Islands again since it moves the whole deal further east again. That's why I thought I should write once again tonight that the Kuril Islands will most likely keep shaking or shake more yet as well as Japan, and we should now watch the Aleutian Islands, Adak Island, and Kodiak Island as well. It seems like it has been quite a long time since we have had any major shaking out in those Alaska Islands that stretch all the way to Japan and so it is a fairly safe guess that they might be getting around a 6.5 Richters Earthquake in the coming hours and day or so. Beyond that keep watching for Seattle, Triple Plate Junction, Offshore Oregon, and California because if my theory of Precision Plate Tectonics is working correctly, one or all of those places could be getting a Major Earthquake this week with the exact moment of the full moon being April 25, 2013 at 2pm CDT. The window for things to start shaking due to that additional pull of the full moon will start Wednesday afternoon at 2pm Central Time. Watch all of these places between now and then, too! Be Prepared! EQ Guy

6.6 Richters Sichuan, China! Keep Watching California, etc.!!!

This occurred over night, a 6.6 Richters earthquake struck a few miles south of the epicenter of the Great Sichuan China Earthquake of 2008 with this one so far having around 100 dead and 2200 injured. The region where this earthquake struck was even sort of inline with the present earthquake energy that we have been watching with those other major shakers having been Iran, Japan Islands, and Kuril Islands and you'll recall we are still presently now watching Alaska, Seattle, TPJ, and California, but also note that the movement of the Indian Ocean Plate that we were talking about must also take into account that the Indian Ocean Tectonic Plate will also be pushing against that Asian Tectonic Plate up there along the way!!! As we have just now noted with upwards of a hundred now dead. We might have noted that movement could have been expected, BUT we might also now note that Alaska IS up that way and COULD be next inline for this MAJOR EARTHQUAKE ENERGY to strike! Then, Seattle, Triple Plate Junction, Mt. St. Helens/Oregon, Offshore Coos Bay/Eureka, and finally California!!! With the Full Moon getting ever closer, please Keep Watching for more Major Earthquake Energy to be releasing very soon and possible very near our West Coast!!! Be Prepared!!! EQ Guy

7.2 Kuril Islands!!! Will Alaska, Seattle, California Be Next?

Just clicked on the latest earthquakes late tonight and seen at 10:05pm CDT a 7.2 Richters struck the Kuril Islands! This is the location that shook next after the big Craig, Alaska earthquake early this year and I was just wondering if the earthquake energy is now crossing the Pacific Tectonic Plate in the reverse direction and if Alaska won't be the next major earthquake in this "Series"? Here are those geographical regions one more time: Iran-Afg-Pakistan, Japan Islands, and now Kuril Islands. This could be considered worrisome and if they travel in anything resembling a line, then everybody probably knows Alaska is next along that line! Then Seattle! Then, well Mt. St. Helens would actually be next, but Offshore Oregon, TPJ, and then Calfornia! Who knows what place will shake next? Or when? I do know the moon was very bright tonight and it will be full next week! Start watching for this side of the Pacific to start shaking because they have really been shaking over on the other side and it should not be long before that earthquake energy gets to Alaska. . . then Seattle. . . then California! Let's keep watching for this one to be in the 5.5 to 7 Richters range as soon as about another day or so! Be Prepared! EQ Guy

Earthquakes, Earthquakes, Earthquakes!!! Should We Be Watching California?????

I received a letter from someone in Oklahoma who asked about all the earthquakes they are getting the last couple days and wanted to know if they should be worried. I just counted 12 in like the last 24 hours or so with the largest few being around 4 Richters. Answering the question of a big one heading for them. . . I replied with the fact that we generally like to say "Not Likely". So, I will now expand on that thought about Oklahoma getting anything bigger than their biggest of around 5 and tell you all that it is scientifically possible that they could get one of those rare ones that upheavals the ground and leaves a fault scarp a mile or several miles long of several feet in elevation change. These Major Earthquakes do happen and nobody will argue that Oklahoma just might face that sort of reality at some point in the coming thousand years or so. If not today, tomorrow or this week, then I might predict a 7, 8, or 9 Richters earthquake for Oklahoma between now and April 17, 3013. Even then that would be saying earthquakes that big occur on a 1000 year interval which in itself might not be totally correct. . . it might be more like 10,000 years. SEE That Idaho Earthquake of 7.3 for yourself @ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1983_Borah_Peak_earthquake because that one really happened and seems to me it may happen again possibly at or near Oklahoma. You will need to consult their local Geology/Seismology person with any questions if you wish more info along those lines, try Austin Holland @ http://tinyurl.com/austin-holland and hopefully he will have answers to any questions you might have. Note that my own background is that of working at a Junkyard, as a Carpenter, and Hollywood Actor, and only Amateur Seismologist.

There has also been a lot of earthquake activity in the Japan Islands which might be the Eastern Edge of that Indian Ocean Plate moving, BUT might indicate it pushing back against the Pacific which probably WILL result in some Major Earthquake Energy releasing along not only our West Coast, but Central America might get some major shaking, too! So, Please continue to watch California, West Coast, and Alaska for Major Earthquake Energy, but let us raise the top number of this potential range to 7, making the range 5.5 to 7 Richters and note that the amount of earthquake energy they are getting suggests it could go even higher. Be Prepared California and West Coast! EQ Guy

7.8 Richters Near Tri-Point Iran-Pak-Afg!!! California Next?

Only hours ago a 7.8 Richters Magnitude earthquake struck along the border between Iran and Pakistan near where they share a common boundary point with Afghanistan. While there is a small town or two within like a hundred miles of the epicenter, it appears in all other ways to primarily be desert and mountains up that way. There are also two major cities just over 100 miles from there where there most likely will be some reported damage, however as of this writing the extent is as yet unknown. Felt reports will increase later on today but right now come from as far as 1500 miles away and include Delhi, Bombay, Islamabad, and Kandahar. This is a huge amount of earthquake energy and in all scenarios regardless of what might have caused it, I want to continue watching our own West Coast where we could still get some major movement along the tectonic plate boundary between the Pacific Tectonic Plate and the North American Tectonic Plate. The region that just shook hours ago is across the Indian Ocean Plate, but could possibly shake regions around the Pacific Plate NEXT! That could include California where we are already watching! I will continue to guess around 6.0 but with a 7.8 having just struck I want to say it could go larger. Finally the weather on TV is covering heavily the huge amounts of snow they are getting in Colorado, and the Dakotas, etc. with more coming, then switched from there to tornadoes! Please Keep Watching California, West Coast, Seattle, and Alaska for a Major Shaker through the coming days and week or so at least! Thank-You for Reading and Be Prepared! EQ Guy

SOME Earthquake EnergyThrough April 25, 2013

Probably not the amount that I might normally send out anything official on, but this could still be enough earthquake energy that at worst could produce a notable earthquake somewhere along our West Coast or even right in the heart of California! Several reports of tornadoes having done some damage in Mississippi and huge amounts of snow reported in the Dakotas should equal some earthquake energy. This Small EQ Alert will run at least through April 26 with that date even being this months Full Moon. Range we will be watching for is 5.5 to 6.5 but that is actually going slightly farther than I might expect with about a 5.8 or 6.0 being my guess for the exact magnitude. I will try to get the path on the ground from one or both of those tornadoes as well as one that struck around St. Louis as well and have more exact information as to exactly where this earthquake or earthquakes might strike and update. Just the same this should not be a repeat of the June 1992 Tornado Outbreak which was followed on Day 12 afterwards by the 1992 Landers Earthquake. SEE: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mid-June_1992_tornado_outbreak AND: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1992_Landers_earthquake
Since that was a much more serious tornado and correlates with a much more serious and quite similar series of earthquakes that struck California. Today we are looking at a much smaller event or series of events. Thank-You Again for Reading and Be Prepared! EQ Guy

Small EQ Alert Will Still Be Out There a While

It doesn't quite look as bad as the forecast had it as far as all that snow is concerned, and the forecast for tomorrow actually is looking even better! We will still need to be watching for smallish earthquakes in the 5.5 to 6.1 Range, but you might notice I've even dropped the high number due to snowfall totals not topping one foot in too many places. This smallish alert will still run until Friday, April 26, 2013 or Day 16, but could come to an end sooner because of a lot of that new snow possibly melting and running off before that end date. Do note that at present there is still an EQ Alert just the same and Seattle could get struck by a 5.9 or 6.0 Richters earthquake in the coming hours and days and ditto for Frisco!!!!! Thank-You Again for Reading!!! EQ Guy

End of New Moon EQ Alert, Keep Watching for 5.5 to 6.5 West Coast!

Well it is technically the end of that New Moon EQ Alert since the all important 24 hour period before and after the exact moment of the new moon ended at 4:39am my time Central Daylight Time, and 2:39am Pacific. At that moment the window that has now been responsible for several Major Earthquakes ended. There are those who track Full Moons even much closer and might have a somewhat different set of numbers that could indicate something might shake beyond that window, but for the sake of honest calculation and keeping my own research within acceptable parameters, the window that I agreed to test will for the foreseeable future end 24 hours after the exact moment after full and new moons and that has now passed. Finally we are currently watching as upwards of 2 feet of snow is now covering much of our still frozen Northern States and is continuing East and it is still snowing up that way! There was also at least one tornado that struck it looks like Arkansas but wait because there could be more of those and the damage reports are still coming in. We might watch for something to immediately shake Missouri, Arkansas, and Tennessee in the 3 Range due to high winds getting a piece of the tectonic plate which could eventually shake the tectonic plate boundary around the San Andreas.

Not expecting this possible Northern California, West Coast, Seattle, Alaska earthquake to go too high as of this writing, so let me keep saying 5.5 to 6.5 Richters and until Friday, April 26, 2013 or Day 16, but also because a lot of the brand new snow could possibly be melting and running off by that date. EQ Guy

New Moon EQ Alert Through Early Thursday!!! 5.5 to 6.3??? Now Also Through Next Week!

Since there has been some activity in the April New Moon Window, we should continue to watch all the way through the end of it which will be early tomorrow, Thursday Morning. Now with the introduction of some severe winter conditions such as the nearly 2 Feet of snow they just got in Rapid City, South Dakota there will now be some bonafide earthquake energy heading for our West Coast and I will guess especially Seattle, and maybe Alaska, but those islands of Canada are situated in there as well. We will also need to begin watching around Frisco and California in general. This alert will continue on far beyond the New Moon window and into next week, however there will be still more heavy snow which is currently expected to fall across Minnesota to Green Bay and points east later this week as well as hopefully warmer temperatures to follow and hopefully melt a lot of it ending this alert. Until all that happens on into next week or whenever I will put the range at 5.5 to 6.5 Richters although I am not sure of the exact number of square miles affected by all that snow as of this writing, I will update that info later in the week and it is possible the 6.5 could go up. Be Prepared!!! EQ Guy

6.3 Richters IRAN!!! New Moon Alert Continues!!!

Always a chance that New Moon will produce a Major Earthquake! This one just struck a couple hours ago USGS@ http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsww/Quakes/usb000g2y5.php
Reports seem to indicate there has been a lot of damage, but says remote area will take some time to get full reports! This was April 9 at 11:52 UTC and actual moment of New Moon or April 10 at 9:39 UTC, will yet be late tonight/early Wednesday Morning so continue watching for something to shake! This does seem to be that new and improved correlation with Major Earthquakes and New Moons!!! EQ Guy

NEW MOON!!!!! Window Begins Late Monday/Early Tuesday!!!

If you follow my EQ Blog regularly, then you might already be aware that this months New Moon will be Wednesday. The exact moment of the New Moon will be around 2am Pacific Time and the correlation with earthquakes striking directly on dates of the full and new moons tends to begin about 24 Hours before that exact moment, and continue on until about 24 Hours after that exact moment. The 24 Hour window will begin very late Monday night/Early Tuesday Morning and so I want everybody to be aware that there will be an increased chance of something shaking beginning tonight, Monday Night more towards the Midnight Hour. However I am NOT currently tracking any Major Earthquake Energy so this could turn out to be what I have in the past referred to as at "Full Moon/No Alert" except in this case since I recently also started watching the New Moons it MIGHT then be a "New Moon/No Alert". See Update below.

I have to add that there is so much stuff going on these days with Fracking, Oil Drilling, Bomb Testing, and Missle Range Testing that it makes it virtually impossible to accurately say when every fair to large earthquake might strike due to not having data on when any of the above "Man-Made" stuff might be taking place and some of those tests, etc. have been known to cause at least the slightest earthquake energy! But for tonight I do not have anything significant to base a Major EQ Alert on and so I must just say that we do always need to watch and be aware that an earthquake could happen any time just the same! Thank-You for Reading! EQ Guy

(After posting this, I seen 115mph Gusts of wind at Mammoth Mountain. This could result in something shaking around California since my EQ Alerts usually start at 100 mph, so be watching)

My Quick Appearance on TV Tonight!!!

Here's a shot of me in the background running for some gauze at the ER as Monica and Lauren were there talking!

Production Wrapped! Going Rollerblading! Earthquakes Forecast=Like Sunshine!!!

I got the E-Mail late last night that the TV Series Pilot has WRAPPED!!! So, while I did stick around in Chicago another night for yet one more day of Chicago Film Production. . . looks like it will be a great day of Rollerblading instead! I know it already started with a run to the Burger King on Algonquin Road for some breakfast and the sun is shining, so Imma enjoy it!

Keep watching for earthquakes, as always, but as far as I know there is nothing out there! I suppose an earthquake forecast can just be like the weather sometimes with no clouds in the sky, so enjoy the sunshine! EQ Guy

Still No Earthquakes??? Production Has Wrapped on Latest Chicago Film Project!!!

I asked one of the camera guys as soon as I seen him if they still use Film Cartridges on any production jobs and he was very confident in saying YES, a lot of them apparently are still using actual film. Probably as I guessed in yesterdays blog that it has been mostly all television shows and that perhaps it has just been a long time since I was out on a movie project of the theatres and silver screen type. I do want to say that it is my opinion that it still has to do with the fact that 35mm film runs in the 1 million grains per inch area and even the highest definition digital video is still far behind the grains that make up motion picture film. Sure, some day digital will probably be able to somehow come up with the brilliant definition that motion picture film has. . . but I do not believe it will be in the foreseeable future. UPDATE, PRODUCTION WRAPPED ON THIS LATEST CHICAGO FILM PROJECT!!! Now back to the remainder of this evenings blog!!! Word is tomorrow I just may have that big scene where I am supposed to be the landlord suuing the defendant for back rent and utilities! "She owes me for DWP, AT&T, and left with 6 months on her lease." We will see if my character the Plaintiff/Landlord gets his $3,500 from whomever he's suuing!!! (We Found Out Early!!!) Thank-You Again for Reading!!! "Moviestar". . . back to being EQ Guy!!!

EDITED AT 9:23PM TO ADD THAT THE MOVIE WRAPPED

Chicago Film Production Keeps On!!!!! But is it still "Film"???

I no more than sent along a nice E-Mail to the agency that casted me for that great scene at the Illinois Train place on Saturday and got a great reply back asking me if I could be in Chicago at 5 am on Monday Morning??? For an episode of a new pilot that i am very sorry that I'd never heard of? But of course when work calls and asks you a question like that one, I think we all know what the answer is. So it was very, very early on Monday morning that I was driving back down the Northwest Tollway and here i am writing this EQ Blog entry after about 14 or 15 hours of intense filming! Several new aspects of this shoot including it appears it is now all digital. Never actually noticed what year we totally went from changing the film canisters on the Panavision Camera after about every 20 minutes of film is used up and a Camera Assistant enters the set carrying an ominous big now apparently antique cartridge with a fresh spool of 35mm Motion Picture film. I probably do not have to explain to anybody how digital works and how it now looks like every production is shooting without any film in the cameras. That is unless I go out on a real "Film" project, because these latest projects have all been for television which might be digital, while perhaps a real film might still shoot on film? So exactly how many ARE still shooting on actual film???

Of course there is still a smallish shaker every so often but let us continue the (more or less) all clear thing we have been obvserving with the earthquakes and remember that a major earthquake could still possibly happen just about any time. . . even though you heard it here that the EQ Guy says that might not be the case. Thank-You Again for reading!!! EQ Guy/Moviestar
