6.8 Richters Strikes Pakistan!!! Final Details on My "EQ Radio Show" on Monday Night!!!

Just seen in this mornings Sunday Paper that they had another major shaker in Pakistan. I had received message of a 6.8, but it wasn't until the paper that I came to realize that was yet another very serious earthquake in that same Pakistan Region that got the 7.7 this week. There could be quite a lot more going on yet along the margins of that Indian Ocean Tectonic Plate and so we should Keep Watching and I expect Banda Aceh, Phuket, and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands to get some more new upcoming seismic activity, too. This alert runs all the way into November, so I will be following it very closely all along the way.

Putting the final preparations together for my "EQ Radio Show" that will be on tomorrow night!!!!! Here is the link to WORT-FM Online if you have not yet tried it!!! @ http://www.wortfm.org/ AND let me try a link to JUST their "Listen Live" program @ http://www.wortfm.org/players/wortaudio.html THE SECOND ONE Might take you directly to the LISTEN LIVE!!! Haven't actually tried it, yet! Let me know! Perhaps I might only need to post the link to the PLAYER in the future for folks who have never heard of "Listen Live" because it does require one additional click to go there, you know!

Finally, I now have my playlist complete and made the final changes to the stuff that I will be talking about on the show and unfortunately "Have Your Pets Spayed or Neutered" has been CUT. Sorry, but you might just do that, anyways!

Thank-You All for Listening!!!!!

Something Shaking at West Yellowstone!!! Keep Watching Anchorage!!! And Alaska!!!

Spent a few moments today working on the exact magnitude of possible earthquakes up in the Alaska area and the numbers I came up with were nowhere near the 7.7 that struck recently at Pakistan. Rather, the winds that struck at the South of Japan on September 15 say 75mph and 90 mph gusts on my card here. You would probably like to know exactly what might be going on up that way if for no other reason then to have as close of an estimate as possible when this upcoming Anchorage/Alaska Earthquake strikes. So. . . 90 mph gusts do not even actually always warrant an alert, so I have to say we might watch for something as big as about a 7.0 Richters Earthquake around Anchorage, Juneau, or the epicenter of the 1964 Alaska Earthquake which is right in between there somewhere. So this one might be in between 6 and 7 Richters.

Not the Banda Aceh, Phuket, Andaman/Nicobar Islands Shaker that is coming, though! This one could still be upwards of 8 or maybe even 9 Richters and is most likely still out there! I will have more updates as the days pass on this one but it runs all the way into November so this one will be big. . . and a ways out in the future, yet!

I do not expect any of the above ones to affect California beyond just the slightest movements of the San Andreas Fault as all of these other plates are moving. Not so for Yellowstone where they are actually very near that same line that I am watching up in Alaska and just posted at 6 or 7. Ditto for Yellowstone, Helena, Wyoming, and New Madrid where they are already shaking!!! Here is the list I just seen from today:

Just a lot of earthquakes and while not all that unusual for Yellowstone, I just want to say we ARE watching for something major to shake that region and it CAN happen. Keep Watching for earthquakes Montana, Wyoming, Alaska, and New Madrid as well as those other places! Meanwhile I have one more song to get to prepare for my EQ Radio Show on Monday Night. Might end the show with . . . . . well, suppose I shouldn't say what song I might end with:)

Banda Aceh, Phuket, Adaman and Nicobar Islands Again!!!??? 8 Richters?

Noticed on Wednesday that along with all the activity at Pakistan there was also a fair amount of seismic activity around the Carlsberg Ridge area not too far from where the new island has formed. New Island already has a formal name as well as a Wikipedia Page @ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zalzala_Jazeera

The movement at the Carlsberg Ridge reminded me to mention here now that the 7.7 at Pakistan was probably only the initial shock of that landfall of Super Typhoon Usagi near Hong Kong and that eventually that entire tectonic plate will probably end up being pushed a number of centimeters such as seems to have occurred at New Zealand as a part of a similar situation earlier in the 2013 Typhoon Season there. WHEN the Indian Ocean Tectonic Plate does eventually decide to start moving it could be Banda Aceh, Phuket, and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands getting a lot of the shaking. I'm basically naming those places here right now because it is the region where the Sumatra 2004 Earthquake and Tsunami struck and could be due for more earthquake energy. This could strike other places and I can not say Pakistan was the sum total of all this here earthquake energy. . . might not have been. Therefore let us keep watching that region for a huge earthquake.

There will also continue to be a lot going on at Anchorage, and Alaska that I will keep working on and keep my EQ Blog readers up-to-date on in the remaining days before this next possible upcoming Major Alaska Earthquake might strike!!! Here is that Official Prediction: http://earthquakealert2.blogspot.com/2013/09/official-prediction-for-major.html

And of course our West Coast and California could get some coincidental shaking as these tectonic plates are moving around in other parts of the world, but there is not a major alert with California in the headline at the moment. Always remember earthquakes can strike at any time just the same. Thank-You for Reading!!! EQ Guy

Counting Down to Anchorage, Alaska Earthquake 2013!!! Could Be Another 7.6 Richters!!!

Just notice that yesterdays big Peru Earthquake struck on Day 43 after the landfall of Typhoon Utor at the Philippines and with so much going on in other earthquake stuff hardly noticed that we had been also watching that South America Region. So today I thought I should double-check the number of days it has been since the landfall of Man-Yi at South Japan and came up with Day 10!!!

I mostly want to now add that Day 14 will be Sunday, Day 15 will be Monday or the day I will be doing my "EQ Radio Show" on wortfm.org and Day 16 will be the day after my radio show or Tuesday of next week. As a result now of all those days happening in that order, I was thinking I should maybe start one of my now famous count downs and of course this is just a count down to like Day 18 or so and then only basically due to that being the number of days I have came up with in the past for earthquake energy to cross the Pacific from Japan to our West Coast. Of course the numbers for Alaska will vary. . . but actually could even be a much shorter distance and smaller number of days! Therefore while Day 18 is a very good number for days it might take to reach Seattle, Days 14 through 17 could be the number of days it will take the earthquake energy from the landfall of Typhoon Man-Yi to travel from Japan to Anchorage!

With my show coming up on Day 16, we should probably now watch next Wednesday and Thursday very closely but I suppose this huge Anchorage or Great Alaska Earthquake could strike before that, too. Thus the countdown!!! Start Watching Alaska now and let's see exactly how close your friend the EQ Alert Guy can come!!!!! Don't forget there are other alerts out there, too! Thank-You for Reading!!! EQ Guy

7.7 Earthquake Forms NEW ISLAND!!! Watch For More Earthquakes!!!

Most recent reports from the site of that huge 7.7 Major Earthquake at Pakistan have a new island that has formed 350 feet offshore in the Arabian Sea! Story @ http://www.theatlanticwire.com/global/2013/09/pakistans-earthquake-was-so-powerful-it-created-new-island/69813/ Here's the pic from that story:

CNN reported the New Island is 100 feet wide and has now risen like 20 to 40 feet high.

This was a lot of Major Earthquake Energy that was generated with the landfall of Super Typhoon Usagi at China and the fact that my theory has those 200 mile per hour winds crashing against the shore near Hong Kong now pushing the Asian Tectonic Plate over into the Arabian Sea and creating the island in the above pic, means there is going to be quite a lot more major earthquake energy yet to come! The Solomon Islands and Tuvalu being about the next point where I am expecting something major to shake, but start watching Indonesia, Banda Aceh, Phuket, and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands which all look like they could be next in line if the Indian Ocean Tectonic Plate makes a major move!!! It might also be possible the Asian Plate might move into the European Plate and affect Italy, Spain, France or anywhere up in that region where they do get occasional major earthquakes! This one could remain a huge one, too! Keep watching for the 7 Range!

On my other alert that will still be active for a while keep watching Anchorage, Juneau, Montana, Wyoming, and the New Madrid Region for a 6.7 or 6.8 and maybe larger. There is also some earthquake energy we had been watching for in Mexico from yet another Hurricane that made landfall, Hurricane Ingrid earlier in September. Watch all those places close and I suppose it is possible our West Coast and California could get some shaking as a result of all of these earthquakes crossing around the world, although I do not have any alerts specifically for them. Be Prepared! EQ Guy

7.7 Richters Strikes Pakistan!!! WATCH For More Major Earthquakes!!!!!

There was no Official Prediction for this here particular earthquake that just struck Pakistan hours ago due to all of this Major Earthquake Energy heading off into regions such as this where I do not know any contacts personally who could help to alert those people and I'm very sorry for that. There was a 7.7 that struck in Pakistan early today about 4 or 500 Miles south of Kabul, a few more miles from Islamabad, and maybe a thousand miles west of Nepal about the general direction that I had reported tracking this new earthquake energy. There will be still more of these major earthquakes along this line and around that same magnitude which a lot of you might have noticed I said as big as 7.6 and it hit a 7.7 which explains why I always try to list the BIGGEST possible magnitude to avoid that happening. I won't worry too much about one-tenth of a Richter there, but promise in the future to not let that happen again. Should have said 7.7?

Do note that I will probably not write out an Official Prediction for this string of Major Earthquakes just the same due to it mostly affecting regions where again I do not have any contacts but in the future I hope to have better contact information perhaps at least with a few earthquake professionals in those regions. Here is the link to Monday's EQ Blog where I had discussed Kabul and the Himilayan Arc at 7.6 Richters; http://earthquakealert.blogspot.com/2013/09/super-typhoon-usagi-will-mean-enormous.html

Here is the link to the Official Prediction that I did file for Anchorage, Helena, and New Madrid that will still be very much in affect: http://earthquakealert2.blogspot.com/2013/09/official-prediction-for-major.html

They have been getting a lot of aftershocks and already one 4.8 two hundred miles south of Tokyo where they could also get more earthquakes as a result of both of these alerts. So please continue to watch Anchorage, Helena, Wyoming, Kabul, Guadalajara, Sichuan, China, Mazatlan, and New Madrid because those are the place names where there IS major earthquake energy heading!!! And be prepared all of those regions, too!!! EQ Guy

PROMO For "The EQ Radio Show" is Complete!!! Airs Soon!!!!!

Promo for "The EQ Radio Show" is complete! It will be airing very soon and Ken sent me a copy of it via E-Mail in MP3 format which as of this writing I am not able to upload from my hotmail so I will have that later. Went very well! When I first arrived having stopped by earlier in the business day to browse their record collection for a few of my songs and found one particular George Harrison song and an old John Lennon album. When I arrived later to record my promo, Ken suggested I use the George Harrison cut for background and I said that I though that song might have too long of an introduction but we could excerpt the chorus part. Then after the tour I took a look at the John Lennon LP and noticed it had many hit songs! Browsing I found "Imagine" a song I did not have on my show and thought a Great Song for the promo then because it is not already part of the show! So during the first take I blew the line "Day the Northridge Earthquake struck" and instead read it, "Day of the. . ." and then just said "CUT, CUT, CUT" due to not wanting to have to correct myself which I would simply do on the live show, but not during the recording of the promo, you know. It would come out, "Day of the Northridge Earthquake struck Los Angeles"

On the second take everything went PERFECT!!! Read perfect all the way through and even timed it perfect so the voice of the Great John Lennon takes over the last few seconds right at the end and it all came out at :55 seconds, and so Ken said that was perfect, too!

Throughout the day I went around to a couple of the different local Madison Libraries and managed to find a couple CD's with almost every song now that I intend to use on my show and am going tomorrow to get the final two, however, if anybody still has a request I still have time to make some changes and a couple of the songs that I am thinking about using could still be replaced with even better songs! Currently I'm thinking about replacing "Don't Stop Believing" with the song "Pinball Wizzard" by Elton John due to it having that strong piano to start my show and just being a stronger song. I have now already officially replaced "Long as I can see the light" by CCR with "Abraham, Martin, and John" although I might move the CCR song to some other place it was just a story about the local power company I worked for and the "Light" part sort of jived, you know!

Very comfortable in the studio, again! Haven't been in the control room doing radio for a lot of years, but I will have the controls at my fingertips throughout my "EQ Radio Show" a week from tonight, or Monday. And Ken said it looks like it is all going well and is very happy with my show going together very nicely! I must say I am getting fairly anxious to get in there on Monday Night, September 30th at 7pm Central Time and get "The EQ Radio Show" on the road!!!

Haven't had too much in the way of earthquake notifications today so Please Keep Watching because as you can read in my other recent EQ Blogs including yesterdays @ http://earthquakealert.blogspot.com/2013/09/super-typhoon-usagi-will-mean-enormous.html and don't forget that there is still so far the one BIG Official Prediction for Anchorage, Helena, and New Madrid and they have been getting plenty of action, too! You can still see that here: http://earthquakealert2.blogspot.com/2013/09/official-prediction-for-major.html

So Keep Watching and Be Prepared Anchorage, Guadalajara, Mazatlan, Helena, and New Madrid because right at the moment there is a small amount of earthquake heading that way. . . and a huge amount heading for China, Nepal, and those Pacific Islands!!! EQ Guy

Super Typhoon Usagi WILL Mean Enormous Major Earthquake!!!!! 9 or 10 Richters???

Today I mostly want to give the very latest info on the landfall of that huge Super Typhoon that made landfall near Hong Kong over the weekend. This was so big of a typhoon that it passed through between the Philippines and Taiwan and managed to wreck havoc with both countries. . . . . and then made unimaginable landfall at China however just north of what might have been an even much larger disaster had it been a direct hit on Hong Kong. Although my card here says that the winds of Super Typhoon Usagi were at one time as high as 167 mph with gusts as high as 201 mph it is probable that the majority of all that wind was a factor in generating all of the major earthquake energy that we will now be tracking around the world through November 6, 2013.

The first in this upcoming series of major earthquakes that will come as a result of this landfall could begin striking at any moment and I am actually sort of surprised China has not gotten hit yet as I write. Sichuan, China region is right there in the cross hairs of the general direction that Usagi was heading at landfall and Sichuan, China rarely escapes big ones like this here. Also immediately watch all those other countries up in that Himilayan Arc Region such as Nepal, and Tibet and all the others too numerous to mention. While it will go on towards Kabul, that could be later in the week and into the coming weeks and I will keep you updated.

There were actually just now 3 earthquakes now already striking out in the Indonesia and Guam regions that are most likely the result of the Pacific Tectonic Plate already busting a move! Expect more but remember there is no limit to how big these earthquakes can go! A 9 or 10 Richters earthquake could be striking at any moment but mostly that big of one has to stick close to this straight line and all the others around the Pacific in general should not go as high as a 9. And onto Africa and South America into October but I will update along the way there, too, not likely to strike those regions today or tomorrow.

Finally remember we are still watching Anchorage, Helena, Wyoming, and New Madrid for 6.7 or 6.8 Richters and something will probably happen up in those regions yet, too. Alaska might even be affected by both of these combining and making it both more likely they could get that 7.6 Richters. . . and I suppose even likely they could get some of the 9 or 10 Richters but I did say SOME of it. Highly unlikely they need to worry about getting ALL of it! So let's stay with the 7 Richters Range up Alaska way. Be Prepared Alaska, and be watching California and Mexico, too!!! EQ Guy

3.1 Anza, California and 3.5 Near Helena, Montana!!! Super Typhoon Usagi Makes Landfall Near Hong Kong!!!

The big news this morning is that the Super Typhoon that had been threatening Hong Kong has now made landfall and missed that city by a number of miles maybe 50 or 75 to the east. Problem will still very much exist for the fact that probably a whole lot of new Major Earthquake Energy has now been generated and could immediately affect the Pacific Tectonic Plate! Thinking about this and checking the globe for the actual point of landfall, I want to say here that what commonly happens with windstorms this big is that the first round of major earthquakes will begin to strike in the coming hours and days and will ultimately "String" a straight line all around the globe or planet. First striking right there in China like around Sichuan or Chongqing, and Soloman Islands/Vanuatu all around 7 Richters, then at Kabul and South of Tehran, Iran again around 7 Richters and more towards the end of September, and finally Libya, Guinea, Guyana, French Guiana, Peru and Chile all into October and all around 7 Richters. I will update and try to better dial in the exact magnitudes and dates of all those now upcoming major shakers. Expect China to start shaking at any moment due to all of that major earthquake energy that has just bashed their coastline there! Be Prepared for Major Earthquakes, China!

Along the lines of that other just recently filed Official Prediction that you can view here: http://earthquakealert2.blogspot.com/2013/09/official-prediction-for-major.html Keep watching Anchorage for a direct hit and there was also just another 3.1 that struck 78 miles SSW of Helena and will most likely be more with the possibility they could get a major one before the end of that O.P., there was also a 3.5 at Anza, California and so please continue to watch California mostly because of all the new movement of the Pacific Plate at Hong Kong.

Guadalajara and Mazatlan is still one other remaining alert that we should watch for a while yet, too!

Thank-You for Reading!!! EQ Guy

4.9 Richters Near Landers, Wyoming!!!!! Be Watching For More!!! Be Prepared Wyoming/Montana!!!

This apparently just happened in the last hour as I write at 8:45am Central Time on Saturday Morning! Appears to have been a 4.9 Richters Earthquake about a hundred miles south of Yellowstone in an area with towns such as Landers and Riverton that I have visited traveling through that region. I am very sorry to have to repost my recent Official Prediction that includes Helena, Montana exactly about 300 miles due north of todays early morning epicenter. I also have to update the fact that the imaginary line of potential earthquake energy that I follow might actually pass very near Casper, Wyoming and that it is always impossible to list every single town the line passes through, but I can tell you the line does sort of go from Helena to New Madrid so exactly where it passes Landers will most likely still only be the tolerance or difference slight. Here is the link to that Official Prediction that I am working off today: http://earthquakealert2.blogspot.com/2013/09/official-prediction-for-major.html

Felt Reports have so far come in from Landers-8, and one each from Riverton, Rock Springs, and Farson.

There might be more earthquakes in that area and I am not a seismologist or geologist and therefore do not have anything else that I can say about this matter. I worked most of my life at a junkyard and as a Union Carpenter and as an actor and writer. It is however my own personal opinion that there may be a Major Earthquake striking up in that area and it is a possibility however remote, that todays early morning 4.9 is a foreshock for a rare 6 or 7 Magnitude Earthquake. I do not know if such an event were to happen. . . if the epicenter would be at or near Landers, or if it could be Yellowstone, or Helena. On my watch such events as this have ushered in an earthquake such as Haiti in the coming hours due to movements of huge chunks of tectonic plate, but don't let your guard down, Wyoming and Montana!!! Be Prepared such as spending the afternoon out on the porch or in the backyard enjoying the first day of autumn! Then, after a few hours I think the immediate risk of any aftershocks will subside and by Monday Morning you all can go on about your lives hopefully with the thought of big giant earthquakes in the past.

Thank-You For Reading and Be Prepared!!! EQ Guy

HERE IS A LINK TO THAT EARTHQUAKE AT USGS: http://earthquakealert2.blogspot.com/2013/09/official-prediction-for-major.html AND for those of you not inclined to travel to that link I will tell you that I wrote that O.P. for Anchorage, Juneau, epicenter of 1964 Alaska Earthquake, Helena, and New Madrid with the range being 6.7 to 7.6 Richters and it will run through October 22, 2013. Could be a huge Anchorage, Alaska earthquake and this one does not look like it is headed for those outlying islands of Alaska, either. Looks like a direct hit at those places I specifically mentioned.

The landfall this week of Hurricane Ingrid at the Gulf of Mexico into Mexico will mean it is probable that there could be somekind of an earthquake at Guadalajara, Mazatlan, Mexico Region in the coming days, but this one does not always necessarilly strike that region, just have to watch as the days go on as a precaution because I know I have some folks in that region watching and probably very worried that something will shake. Shouldn't really be that big there if it does folks, say 6, and hopefully far enough away from the population that it will just give you guys a quick little jolt and be over! God Bless!

Super Typhoon Usagi is about to make landfall at Hong Kong in the coming hours. Regardless of where it makes landfall it is a huge Super Typhoon with wind speeds that had been over 200 mph and will generate the biggest Major Earthquake in a long time and probably the end of the world for somebody, somewhere. This huge wind storm has the ability to not only flatten much of Hong Kong, it might also bring on the next 9 or 10 Magnitude Earthquake with the next 75 foot tsunami, so be watching what happens next with Super Typhoon Usagi especially if you live in a shaky place or anywhere near the Pacific Tectonic Plate and that "Ring of Fire." The moment that windstorm connects with landfall the Pacific Plate could start busting some giant sized moves!!! Be Prepared!!! EQ Guy

California, California, California!!!!! Keep Watching California!!!!!

It was only yesterday I was blogging about all of the earthquake stuff that was going on in California! Now here I am again today blogging about all the earthquake stuff that is going on in California! Very late last night there was a huge 3.9 Richters Earthquake with the epicenter of Borrego Springs, California! You can see all of the felt reports and the long list of aftershocks at Earthquake Central: http://eqalert.blogspot.com/2013/09/borrego-springs-earthquake-and.html While my initial question here was if there were any folks that felt both yesterdays and now todays, I checked and the answer is todays Borrego Springs Earthquake was felt in San Dimas, Covina, and Los Angeles as well as I noticed one felt report from Thousand Oaks. Therefore I am going to guess that the parts of the tectonic plate that were moving as a result of both of these shakers could well be connected in there somewhere since there were folks that did feel both of them. Perhaps there will be more shaking in that region, yet, then. And beyond the full moon window that will be more or less over tomorrow, but not the earthquake energy you know!

There is one interesting story about a Borrego Springs Earthquake that goes all the way back to my EQ Blog of June 8, 2010 when I was tracking the Potential Earthquake Energy from a huge Ohio Tornado and apparently even filed an O.P., although I did not locate it to link it here, and the result was that big 5.7 Earthquake that struck near San Diego on June 15, 2010 and delayed a San Diego Padres Game!!! @ http://earthquakealert.blogspot.com/2010/06/57-delayed-san-diego-padres-game-felt.html I seem to recall having been watching the Los Angeles Lakers Play-Offs in that timeframe and knowing a Major Earthquake could easily come to disrupt a major basketball game and was not aware there was a Padres Game in San Diego or I might even have mentioned that game, too, as my readers all know! The result was the name "Padre Kobe Quake."

Finally today as I write we now have SUPER TYPHOON USAGI headed directly between Taiwan and Philippines bearing down on HONG KONG with maximum windspeeds of over 200mph!!! This will not only be a huge natural disaster in the coming hours, but looks like it will most likely generate so much Major Earthquake Energy that it will very likely be preceding the next HUGE Earthquake/Tsunami Event!!! Looks like I will also have to make some changes to the script for my "EQ Radio Show" on September 30th!!!!! Thank-You for Reading, and listening!!!!! EQ Guy

3.7 AND 3.8 Strikes Los Angeles!!! Keep Watching September Full Moon!!! Be Prepared!!!

Striking very early this morning as many of my Los Angeles friends know and upon checking I found that there were actually 2 of these that struck around the intersection of the 10 Freeway with the 57 Freeway in the East L.A. Neighborhood. Epicenter of 5.9 Richters 1987 Whittier Narrows Earthquake just a few miles away did $358 Million in damage according to Wikipedia @ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whittier_Narrows_earthquake Of course the biggest numbers of felt reports all came from those towns in that immediate area such as Covina, La Verne, Diamond Bar, Glendora, Pomona, and Rancho Cucamonga, but felt reports also came in from Seal Beach, Riverside, North Hollywood, and Los Angeles. Due to all of this going on right there in the heart of L.A. and with a lot of hours still remaining in the September 2013 Full Moon Window. . . we have to keep watching because there is just that ever so small chance that one of these huge ones could pick that region to shake! It really wouldn't be too bad of a time to run over to the Stater Brothers store on Colima and grab a few extra bottles of Arrowhead Water and a couple extra loaves of bread and some peanut butter just in case. And locate crow bars, extra blankets and anything else you might want handy in an earthquake emergency now. Earthquake Preparation is always important and right now might be a good time to think about it.

Yesterday I noticed several earthquakes nearing Helena, Montana and double-checked the line of new earthquake energy from the landfall of Typhoon Man-Yi and found it crossed near Helena! Therefore I thought it might be time to write and file an Official Prediction! Banner Headline in newest O.P. reads: Official Prediction For A Major Earthquake To Strike Anchorage, Juneau, Helena, or New Madrid by October 22, 2013 and you can see it at: http://earthquakealert2.blogspot.com/2013/09/official-prediction-for-major.html

For the remainder of the September 2013 Full Moon Window that will run through tomorrow, continue to watch Japan, Anchorage, Juneau, Guadalajara, Mazatlan, Helena, and I suppose Los Angeles and all of our West Coast because we are actually watching for earthquakes now coming from several sources and any of these can strike with that big giant full moon overhead!!! Thank-You for Reading and Be Prepared as I said!!! EQ Guy

Major Earthquake for Helena, Montana??? Check Out Newest Official Prediction including Helena!!! Also Be Watching Anchorage, Alaska, Japan and Mexico!!!

They were getting enough smallish shakers now farther north of Yellowstone and coming ever closer to Helena, Montana that I thought it might be time to check and sure enough the line of brand new potential Major Earthquake energy looks like it might cross directly through Helena, Montana! Therefore I not only added the name of that town to this alert, but I also decided it was time to now file my latest Official Prediction and include Helena, Montana as a part of it. You can see that brand new O.P. HERE: http://earthquakealert2.blogspot.com/2013/09/official-prediction-for-major.html and here is a link to the story about the 1935 Helena Earthquake at Wikipedia where they got a direct hit at 6.2 Richters and it has now been almost 80 years!!! @ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1935_Helena_earthquake

Now as the night of the September Full Moon continues on I have to also mention that there is so much earthquake energy out there that it will be virtually a miracle if somebody, somewhere does not get some of this earthquake energy and it should be well within this Full Moon!!! Keep Watching the Sept. Full Moon Window runs into Friday with the exact moment of the Full Moon occurring early Thursday Morning!!! Anchorage, Alaska, Japan, Guadalajara, and Mazatlan, Mexico could also get some major shaking in the coming hours!!! Be Prepared!!! EQ Guy

MAJOR Earthquake--JAPAN!!!??? Foreshock (s)? Full Moon Window Starting!!!!! And Mexico!!!

I just didn't like the looks of this 5.1 that just struck near Japan and so near the big epicenter of their 2012 Earthquake/Tsunami that this 5.1 even shares the name Honshu!!! @ http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/usc000jwn2#summary

WITH the September Full Moon Window starting early Wednesday Morning, Sept. 18 at 4:13am Pacific Time it will mean it is now possible JAPAN might be where all the action will be as the September Full Moon rises high overhead in the coming hours!!! This will be a HUGE Earthquake no matter where it strikes or when. . . just that right at the moment we are all watching that shaky, shaky Japan/Honshu region!!! We should also watch our own shaky, shaky Anchorage and Juneau Regions, too! Be Prepared Alaska, and Japan!!!

Here is the story about how serious the landfall of Typhoon Man-Yi was at Tokyo and Japan: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/09/16/typhoon-man-yi-japan_n_3932634.html

Seems likely a major earthquake will probably be striking in the coming hours starting early Wednesday through Friday due to the correlation with Full Moons such as this one striking in the middle of all those typhoons and hurricanes making landfall and with my radio show just days away now! Don't forget Guatalajara, and Mazatlan, Mexico!!! Be Watching and Be Prepared!!! EQ Guy

New Earthquake Heading for Guadalajara, Mazatlan, and San Luis Potosi, Mexico!!!

With the landfall of Hurricane Ingrid at the Eastern Coast of Mexico there will now probably be at least somewhat of an earthquake heading for a few places around Mexico. The straight line sort of mostly heads for a town called Mazatlan, but also very near another place named Guadalajara and also San Luis Potosi. Checked several times to make sure Mexico City will not be too involved in this one and it looks like it will not be. Of course there could always be earthquakes so this is not to say Mexico City will not get any earthquakes, rather this new earthquake energy is heading up towards Guadalajara and could be as big as 7 Richters. Earthquakes heading in that direction do not always strike Mexico and could continue out into the Pacific and strike any number of islands offshore or at offshore fault lines, but we should probably watch and be prepared at Guadalajara.

Yesterdays landfall of Man-Yi will almost certainly involve Alaska and will be very close to Anchorage with them probably getting some shakers in the coming days and the September Full Moon Window starting early Wednesday. For right now I want to say this one could be all of 6 Richters, but could go as high as 7.6 Richters and am thinking 6.7 or 6.8 as I believe I said in yesterdays EQ Blog. I'll try to keep around the same range because I'm just stating these numbers as I go along. . . with the size of the windstorm and recalling the landfall.

Just seen 5.4 Georgia on the list and my phone also chimed with it, and I immediately thought a big earthquake just struck near Atlanta!!! Not that unusual because they get a lot of small ones so I just immediately thought 5.4 up around Tennessee. . . I'll just check it out and see how close to Chattanooga that one was. Answer: not close to Chattanooga at all, rather close to Tiblisi on the other side of the earth in Russia. More about earthquakes and that September Full Moon Window tomorrow!!! Plans for "EQ Radio Show" are going good!!! Here is what the Postcard going out says:

New Earthquake Energy Heading For Anchorage, Juneau, New Madrid!!!

The landfall of Tropical Storm Man-Yi at Japan has now officially taken place and we might watch Japan itself for a day or so for an earthquake to strike right there along the path Man-Yi took across that island since the winds looked like they could be enough to do some shaking right there at Japan before all of this new earthquake energy takes off across the Pacific Tectonic Plate for places like Anchorage, Juneau, and New Madrid where we will probably be seeing this earthquake energy cause a Major Earthquake in the coming hours and days.

While it might be great news to see this line of brand new earthquake energy looks like it will completely miss California and our immediate West Coast. . .it could be a Major Shaker for folks up around Alaska and not really actually be that great. Could be as big as about a 6 or 7 Richters earthquake with my guess for the possible exact magnitude being around 6.7 or 6.8 Richters for Alaska and possibly a direct hit for Anchorage or I was actually thinking as I was checking this out on my globe with my straight line tool, around the epicenter of that great 1964 Alaska Earthquake.

Full Moon will be striking on September 19 at 6:13am Central, 4:13 Pacific with the September 2013 Full Moon Window starting early Wednesday Morning at 4:13am Pacific Time and running through Friday. There is quite a lot of earthquake stuff still out there so we practically know for certain something will be shaking in that window coming the middle of this week. . . now including Japan and Anchorage!!! Thank-You For Reading!!! EQ Guy

Possible Typhoon Means Possible Earthquake for Japan/Tokyo. . . but California, too?

New Typhoon Man-Yi looks like it will threaten California with HUGE New Earthquake Energy Soon!!! Watch Japan immediately for Huge Earthquake due to this huge new windstorm bearing down on TOKYO!!!
http://phys.org/news/2013-09-nasa-satellite-vortices-circling-newborn.html

Details now look like Man-Yi might not exactly make Typhoon status so stay tuned to this EQ Blog the next day or so to see if the next major earthquake will be heading directly for California or not. MUST say it does look like this one WILL BE HEADED for California no matter what happens. . . it's just that if Man-Yi does not become a typhoon, then this will not become a MAJOR Shaker. Medium Shaker, maybe, but practically all scenerios point to California as of late Saturday/early Sunday with the details to come as the hours pass and Tokyo appears to be directly in the path of at least a HUGE WINDSTORM!!! Also a whole lot of potential seismic activity, too! WATCH and see how big of earthquake or earthquakes JAPAN gets in the next day or so and you will see! Our West Coast might even get a few smaller ones as this windstorm and several others begin contacting land in the coming days.

There is also Hurricane or T.S. Ingrid currently threatening Mexico from the Gulf of Mexico and possibly sending earthquake energy towards Mexico City!!! Ingrid has to become BIG yet before I will say any more about what might happen there, since it too could threaten California! Thank-You for Reading!!! EQ Guy

Swarm Now Back At Yellowstone!!!!! More at Mammoth Lakes, California, too!

Might as well just be keeping an eye on all of the stuff that is shaking between Yellowstone and California because that is where all the action is right at the moment and it is tough to tell what will happen next. I thought about the possibility Seattle might start to get some of this seismic stuff that is going on here, but in the past it looks more like New Zealand has been next in line. Also am thinking Alaska just because they are like next along that tectonic plate boundary with the Pacific there. And there actually was a 2.5 at Bayview, California up near Eureka and so I suppose they could be next although I do not know for sure if we are watching for a swarm up there or a real major shaker. I suppose we should be prepared for an earthquake just the same there. Here is the link if anybody wishes to see all the newest long list of small earthquakes striking at Yellowstone: http://eqalert.blogspot.com/2013/09/new-yellowstone-swarm-updated-from.html and the original list can still be seen at: http://eqalert.blogspot.com/2013/09/heres-yellowstone-and-old-faithful.html so that if anybody actually wanted to see ALL of them you will need to check out both lists because I thought tonight adding all of the new ones that mostly happened TODAY. . . would make far too long of a list and it would be posted still as last Tuesday or Tuesday of this week. So todays Yellowstone Earthquake Swarm is the first link.

Spent all day today reading up on the book "iWoz" and am really enjoying everything that I am now learning about the invention of the Apple Computer and just today found out that Wozniak and Jobs started working together like in high school. Also seen that movie "Pirates of Silicone Valley" and enjoyed that, too! Just finished book by Scobie and he replyed my text with the fact that they have a new book coming out soon called "Age of Context" that I am now looking forward to, but will have to finish "iWoz" first anyways! Also have "When The Snakes Awake" that I have to read next! That and lots of preparation for upcoming "EQ Radio Show" and let me know if anybody has any requests because I am planning a news radio sort of format like where they play a popular song in background while they are talking, you know. Sports Talk sort of seems to do that now days, too, and I plan to as well. Just added "Changes" by David Bowie and might replace "Long as I can See The Light" by CCR with "Abraham, Martin, and John" by Dion! Let me know if any of you have a request, I have one or two spots, yet! EQ Guy

Edited to fix title of movie.

Update: 3.4 and 2.9 at West Yellowstone and MORE Mammoth Lakes Swarm!! Happy Friday #13!!!

Not that unusual to see West Yellowstone getting earthquakes at all, but a 3.4 and 2.9 at 7:55 and 7:58 respectively is very close to the equivilent of one 6.3 by the advance numbering/calculation system that I am busily working to perfect! Of course it will still need a lot of work but it probably has something to do with the number of seconds apart these things strike, and number of miles apart, and total number of Richters. For now I'm adding them up and giving them to you. . . but in the future multiples of .7 or .8 percent for time and space distance will certainly be in order.

Now the update on Mammoth Lakes is that there were a number of additional smallish shakers over night and here they are:

0.7 9km ESE of Mammoth Lakes, California 2013-09-13 09:05:24
1.1 2km ESE of Mammoth Lakes, California 2013-09-13 08:11:35
1.7 15km N of Mammoth Lakes, California 2013-09-13 07:56:54
0.9 5km ENE of Mammoth Lakes, California 2013-09-13 07:43:23
0.9 2km ESE of Mammoth Lakes, California 2013-09-13 05:45:20
1.9 11km E of Mammoth Lakes, California 2013-09-13 02:19:36
1.6 11km E of Mammoth Lakes, California 2013-09-13 02:16:00
0.9 11km E of Mammoth Lakes, California 2013-09-13 01:27:41
0.7 2km ESE of Mammoth Lakes, California 2013-09-13 01:20:13

No running total as of yet, I will total them up for my next EQ Blog if they continue, though. What I think is the main cause for concern with all of this new earthquake energy striking at Mammoth Lakes is the fact that this is now as a rule PRECEDING the major shaking of something else, somewhere else. I'll guess New Zealand or Anchorage/Alaska, but Seattle and California could get some of this, too. It is my opinion that this Mammoth Lakes Swarm AND all the major shaking they are getting at Yellowstone WILL equal more major earthquakes in the coming hours and days with that Full Moon now only about a week away as well as today being Day 33 after the landfall of Super Typhoon Utor at Philippines. . . and Friday #13!!!!! Be Watching!!! EQ Guy

Swarm Striking Mammoth Lakes, California Right Now!!!!! Where Next??? Friday 13 Shaker???

Just clicked on latest earthquakes to find a long trail of small shakers that has just now struck at Mammoth Lakes up in the Northern California Region. Here are just the ones that happened in the last few minutes as of this writing:

2.2 11km E of Mammoth Lakes, California 2013-09-13 01:09:58
1.4 11km E of Mammoth Lakes, California 2013-09-13 01:07:49
0.6 11km E of Mammoth Lakes, California 2013-09-13 01:03:39
1.8 11km E of Mammoth Lakes, California 2013-09-13 00:53:35
1.9 11km E of Mammoth Lakes, California 2013-09-13 00:49:58
1.5 11km E of Mammoth Lakes, California 2013-09-13 00:49:13

1.2 11km E of Mammoth Lakes, California 2013-09-13 00:43:39
1.1 0km NW of San Fernando, California 2013-09-13 00:40:59
1.1 11km E of Mammoth Lakes, California 2013-09-13 00:40:48
1.1 11km E of Mammoth Lakes, California 2013-09-13 00:39:38

That is a lot of earthquake activity and it is possible this will continue on for the coming hours. What I consider to be the unfortunate part of all of this major earthquake energy is that it means there is a lot of seismic activity and that it is now possible that all of this will be moving unknown directions. I would be prepared just as precaution in San Francisco being situated somewhat near this event.

There is still that one major earthquake out there that I did all of the math on in the past days and came up with the night of the September 2013 Full Moon or September 19 for a Major Shaker. Well, here it is Friday, September 13 and so I have to also say something major could shake right this moment as I am writing or at any time in the coming hours today or today. Friday 13 Shaker? EQ Guy

Small Shakers at Half Moon Bay, San Dimas, Fremont, and China Lake!!! Where Next?

There has been some activity out in the Atlantic and it will probably mean even more of those small earthquakes striking at notable places such as Half Moon Bay, Fremont, and China Lake as well as San Dimas all in California. There were also a few more in Yellowstone but I will wait until something just a little bigger strikes to update that list you can see at: http://eqalert.blogspot.com/2013/09/heres-yellowstone-and-old-faithful.html But the basic update is that there were 4 more smallish ones up that way today all around like one, so I didn't really think 4 adding up to 2.9 was worthy of an updated list, yet.

Then there was this big 3.1 that I actually had to click on to try and figure out where it was: http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/pr13254004#summary You might be able to have some idea what all those places are that they are talking about in that there name, but as of this writing I have no idea unless they are all names of islands, or perhaps rocks, or occasionally shallow water that will sometimes become an island at low tide also gets a name like "The Bottom, Bonair, Saint Eustatius, and Saba?"

So, as September 19, 2013 gets ever closer I noticed the moon high in the sky tonight coming home from my meeting and want to now add that September 19 looks like it will also be the September 2013 Full Moon in addition to already possibly being the date of this next big upcoming Major Earthquake! California? Hopefully Not! EQ Guy

Huge Swarm at Old Faithful and Yellowstone!!! What's Going On??? Foreshocks?

I've watched swarms such as the one that is currently happening up in the Old Faithful region of Yellowstone Park before and have to say it isn't always the ultimate location of a Major Earthquake when the region is ever all done shaking. Two that I can recall that are fresh in my memory are a Baja California Swarm and a Mettler Swarm. The Baja California Swarm happened just a few miles south of Mexicali/Calexico and came to precede the Eureka 2010 Earthquake and the Haiti Earthquake. That Mettler Swarm was located up near Bakersfield in 2005 and ended up preceding the Islamabad Earthquake and I know because I was tracking the potential earthquake energy from the landfall of Hurricane Katrina!

So, Katrina August 29, 2005, Mettler Swarm September 23, 2005, and Islamabad Earthquake October 8, 2005. Baja California Swarm December 30, 2009 through January 1, 2010, Eureka Earthquake January 9, 2010, and Haiti Earthquake January 12, 2010. Therefore landfall of Super Typhoon Utor August 11, Old Faithful, Yellowstone Swarm like September 4-11, 2013, and Ultimate Major Earthquake Resultant. . . . .well September 19, 2013 if there is to be any similarity with the landfall of Hurricane Katrina at Louisiana, and the landfall of Super Typhoon Utor at The Philippines.

Just as a precaution let me again remind all my readers that it does appear there is still that one source of major earthquake energy out there and while the date of September 19 did come up when compared to the Mettler Swarm of 2005, let us watch until then for something major to shake because as I said in recent EQ Blog Posts the next 3 days will be Day 31, 32, and 33 after that landfall. Be Watching and Be Prepared!!! EQ Guy

North of Watkins Glen, New York a 2.0 and a 3.3 at Old Faithfull, Keep Watching Richmond/DC!!!

I was just a little surprised today to see that a 2.0 struck up in the little out of the way region of New York State what looked very near Watkins Glen. . . and seen Watkins Glen State Park right there on the map just 10 miles to the south of this one the USGS located at 4 Miles North of a small town named Dundee, NY. Kind of unusual to have one strike up in that region, but I immediately reasoned the recent landfall of Tropical Storm Gabrielle at Puerto Rico on September 4 might have been about due to shake something up in that region and me, of course, always watching Richmond and Washington DC as most of you probably recall. Let us now still watch Richmond and Washington DC a while just as a precaution, but as I had been saying it should be small like that and no worries!

There was also a 1.6 recorded 1 mile East of Berkeley and it made me wonder if a person can feel a 1.6, or if 2.0 is the starting point where we have any movement other than just a small vibration under foot? OR is 2.0 and 2.5 the number where the USGS begins to record those felt reports? After now having done this enough years and focusing on that tiny fact. . . I want to say that with the increase from 2 to 3 you shake progressively more, and more and thus wind up reporting it on the USGS Felt Reports progressively more, and more, too, but apparently not at 1.6 and that is where I am at right now with the magnitude/felt report ratio.

Finally, as I wrote earlier this week September 11, 12, and 13 will be Day 31, 32, and 33 after the landfall at Philippines of Super Typhoon Utor at Cat-5 and I might still expect something major to shake with those there days being highly susseptible to major earthquakes and my phone has now chimed numerous times with shakers out in the Pacific Islands Regions and so it remains possible there is still significant earthquake energy out there that we should be watching our West Coast for. Also Central and South America since all we know here is that the Pacific Tectonic Plate is moving and due for a Major Shaker!!! Be Prepared! EQ Guy

Watch Northern California/Southern Oregon This Week!!!!! Typhoon Utor Earthquake Energy Still Out There?????

Monday will be Day 10 after the landfall of Tropical Depression Kong-Rey and if I remember correctly that one was downgraded upon the storm approaching landfall at the South of Japan and my notes say USA!!! While winds on my sheet say 40 with gusts of 50, we have been having fairly good luck tracking ones such as this mostly for something to do. . . and as I have always said the smaller ones are good practice because they almost never have a lot of damage, but probably always DO happen so let us track this one for about another 10 days or so and see where this small Northern California Earthquake ends up! This week I will have more time to check the globe for tonight I can already say Northern California/Southern Oregon and since this one is a straight line, it will intersect that region exactly and should be no bigger than 6 Richters, however I myself can not recall the last 6 that struck that region so it will be very noticeable when it strikes there in the coming days.

Here's what I was doing today: http://www.ironman.com/triathlon-news/articles/2013/09/wisconsin-recap.aspx#axzz2eNKXyQ5N Had a great time and met a lot of Great People there, too!

Finally some of this new earthquake energy could have to do with the 2.4 that struck Downtown San Fernando, California just 12 miles North of Burbank, or that 2.8 North of Old Faithful Geyser again. Finally note that September 11, 12, and 13 are Day 31, 32, and 33 after the landfall of Super Typhoon Utor at CAT-4 the Philippines and with all that is going on it might seem hard to keep track of all the different earthquakes that could be coming. . . but this one could be HUGE, so let us keep watching for it!!! EQ Guy

Shakers at Guatemala, Millbrae, and Keep Watching Washington DC!!!

At the same time as we are seeing a lot of big windstorm activity down around the Southern Tip of the Baja California Peninsula, we just also now seen a 6.6 shake Guatemala very near Guatemala City with 73 felt reports from that city. This could have been a much worse earthquake if it struck much closer to a larger population but tells us just the same that it is possible a lot of this new earthquake energy could be heading north along an imaginary line that follows in the direction where these now 2 or 3 Hurricanes and Tropical Storms have struck at B.C.

Just now as I signed on Saturday Morning I also just found a small shaker at Millbrae, Calfornia on San Francisco Bay, and hope no more follow since that is also the town where I changed from the Bay Area Rapid Transit to the Cal-Train, as well as the town where I traveled up Millbrae Avenue to the San Andreas Trail and a great view of beautiful San Andreas Lake. I also toured their very beautiful downtown before getting back on B.A.R.T. and heading back to my motel after visiting the USGS in Menlo Park that day!

So, now hear this. . . we might need to start watching California for a small earthquake in the coming hours and days, but shouldn't hardly be enough to disturb a lot of people. Remember to keep watching around Richmond, Washington DC, and our East Coast for another, this time probably smaller earthquake any minute now, too! EQ Guy

Be Prepared DC!!!!! Also Watch Carolinas, Tennessee, Alabama For Earthquakes!!!!!

Just checked the numbers on the landfall of Hurricane Irene at Puerto Rico and the exact moment was early on August 21, 2011 with that HUGE Virginia Earthquake that shook Washington, DC following at 1:51pm on August 23, 2011.

NOW, we will be watching a somewhat similar, but a lot smaller obviously, landfall of Tropical Storm Gabrielle at Puerto Rico that I have recorded on my sheet as 11:42pm the night of September 4, 2011. With the 24 hour mark just now passing it looks like the exact moment when the two of these marks might be due to pass if there was such a thing, and they do come close sometime, the exact moment will fall on the difference between "Early" on August 21 and 1:51 in the afternoon Aug. 23. With the 48 hour mark being on Friday Night, it would then be Late Friday or Early on Saturday Morning and of course we should probably start watching right this moment since the September 2013 New Moon Window is currently running and runs until Friday sometime.

There is also somewhat of a chance that places such as the Carolinas could get earthquakes with this small amount of energy headed up that way, as well as Alabama, and Tennessee places where small earthquakes DO happen. I suppose New York, too! Should not be anything too big for anybody to worry about. . . just that it is always nice when we know there is earthquake energy heading for us!!! Of course there is other earthquake stuff around the world, too, but for now I suppose we could focus on the East Coast!!! Be Prepared DC!!!!! EQ Guy

New Tropical Storm at Dominician Republic!!! (Edit: It's Puerto Rico) So. . . Richmond/Washington, DC Shaker!!!? New Moon Window is also NOW!!!

The answer to the question is Old Faithful seismically active seems like it might be answered by the swarm of like 5 or so small earthquakes that struck 14km from there in recent hours. I suppose if you really think about it. . . that big of a thing with such a huge steam vent sort of does indicate that there is something going on there, but I guess I was just never sure that meant seismic activity. What kind of thing is that there, anyways a vent of some kind, AND is it ever possible that something like Old Faithful could be the epicenter and if so of how big an earthquake?

Just noticed the September New Moon Window actually started early Wednesday at 6:36am my time, 4:36am Pacific and the actual moment of the New Moon will be Thursday morning at 4:36am Pacific. So we will be watching especially due to the fact that there is right now a lot of smallish earthquake energy and still one possible big one, although there has been quite a lot of big energy just released up in the Alaska Islands. . . Utor could still be out there so we will watch well into around September 23 or Day 43 and also close to the September Full Moon on September 19.

Tropical Storm Gabrielle has just formed and is looking like it is making landfall at Dominican Republic as I am writing and looks like it might also generate enough seismic energy there to also be an immediate earthquake threat, too! So also watch that immediate area for some fair sized shakers. . . . . but also RICHMOND/WDC!!!!! Could be in the range of 5 or 6 Richters and when Hurricane Irene hit there one night the 5.9 was the very next day!!! Be Prepared Washington, DC!!!!! EQ Guy

Edit: T.S. Gabrielle is actually affecting Puerto Rico, which is where the landfall preceded that Virginia 5.9

HUGE Los Angeles Swarm IN PROGRESS!!!!! Watch Out!!! Be Prepared!!!!!

I am looking at this right now as I write and seeing the very latest shakers as they happen with 3.3 Borrego Springs only minutes ago as well as San Bernardino, Anza, Aguanga, and Yucca Valley!!!!! On the surface this looks like a very serious swarm happening right there on that exact stretch of the SAN ANDREAS FAULT where they have long been saying they are overdue for the next major earthquake to strike! Especially Watch and Be Prepared in that region!!! There is at least one big source of earthquake energy around the Pacific and while I do not believe Los Angeles will be the ultimate target for it. . . we do want to note that a major earthquake COULD still strike L.A. just about anytime!

You might have read my early Tuesday EQ Blog where I tracked the earthquake energy from Kong-Rey directly to Victoria, British Columbia. . . and today they got among many, a 6.0 Richters Earthquake up there exactly where I discussed in my early today EQ Blog or Vancouver Island, Queen Charlotte Island and Victoria, British Columbia. You could go back to that EQ Blog if you wish paragraph 4 @ http://earthquakealert.blogspot.com/2013/09/41-and-43-at-texas-among-strongest-ever.html

There was also a 6.5 Izo Islands, Japan and more Aleutian Islands and Atka, Alaska earthquakes so it is possible there could in the coming hours be an upcoming MAJOR EARTHQUAKE in one of these regions although most of you probably do not even need me to tell you that. . . just seeing everything that is shaking! By Earthquake Preparations, I mean a minimum of one or two of the things that might be on such a complete list such as some extra bottled water and then when the alert subsides you may go ahead and drink from this supply and then refresh it at the next time something starts shaking. There are also some basic food supplies, but whatever ones you prefer would be satisfactory. Finally whatever tools you have, maybe a hammer, pry bar, screwdriver or whatever, should be at least located as well as any extra blankets. My Earthquake Preparation expert friend says you should locate this stuff somewhere you will be able to access it such as near an exit, window, garage and has a complete container with lots of stuff packed. This type of preparation is the basis for ultimately knowing what all you might need in a major earthquake. Thank-You for reading! EQ Guy

6.0 Just North of Victoria, British Columbia!!! Plus Aftershocks!!!

Of course it was just early today that I wrote all about this one happening and wasn't too surprised when so far THREE have now struck up in that region, actually 368 Miles Northwest of Victoria the capital city of British Columbia which I wanted to discuss in my earlier EQ Blog but am now too busy as you can imagine!!! You can read the last paragraph of my early today EQ Blog about Victoria and Queen Charlotte Island @ http://earthquakealert.blogspot.com/2013/09/41-and-43-at-texas-among-strongest-ever.html

This Earthquake Energy might just be also headed for Seattle, and possibly that entire general area and while I was not watching for too much more than 6 Richters there is always the chance of more or something a little bigger shaking so be prepared!

Booked the EQ Radio Show last night and you can try the link to them online at http://www.wortfm.org/ and see if clicking "Listen Live" works for you all out there everywhere around the world where you won't be able to pull in the local FM signal to hear my EQ Radio Show on September 30, 2013 at 7 PM Central Time, 5 Pacific Time.

Keep Watching for more earthquakes and there might even be some additional push on that tectonic plate boundary between the Pacific and North American Tectonic Plate so watch out entire West Coast!!! EQ Guy

4.1 and 4.3 at Texas!!! Among Strongest Ever To Hit Texas!!!

The two medium sized earthquakes that struck at Texas today were located about 120 Miles North of Port Arthur, TX and a few more miles North of Galveston. While there were no reports of either of them being felt in Houston, there were numerous reports from a lot of other places such as 60 from Nacogdoches, 5 from Shreveport, and 21 from Timpson where the epicenter was reported as 2 Miles West Northwest of. I must note that there had been a landfall of a Tropical Depression Kong-Rey that might have been a downgraded typhoon at the South of Japan possibly being involved in this new earthquake energy because there was also a 2.5 just 14 Miles North West of Memphis, Tennessee. If so, we should continue to be watching for more and they could get just a little bit bigger, but not much.

The earthquakes continued up there in the Alaska Islands and I went ahead and updated the list to now include the very latest right up to this writing. Here is that updated List of Alaska Earthquakes: http://eqalert.blogspot.com/2013/08/heres-all-earthquakes-at-atka-alaska.html DO YOU THINK all of this Alaska Islands movement could BE the earthquake energy measured earlier at Marlborough, New Zealand at 5 Centimeters and Cook Strait at 8 Centimeters, where I then said "Easter Island" and Easter Island then got 3 Magnitude 5 Earthquakes in a row? Did those Alaska Islands now also just move 5 to 8 Centimeters, or collide as they say pushing 5 to 8 Centimeters over or under another tectonic plate up that way?

IF that was the case, then we still have the earthquake energy from the landfall of Super Typhoon Utor out there to watch all through September with Tuesday being Day 23. . . OR the day number when the Great Sumatra Earthquake struck after a similar landfall of Super Typhoon Nanmadol in December 2004.

Also the close brush with land of Tropical Storm Kiko at Baja California on September 1 possibly causing something to shake up in Southern California one of these days and finally Kong-Rey might send some earthquake energy over towards Queen Charlotte, and Vancouver Island, Victoria and Seattle Regions. Hope Everybody had a Great Labor Day Weekend!!! I got a lot of bike riding in!!! EQ Guy
