Ridgemark, California Swarm Might Indicate MORE Earthquake Energy Still, Yet!!! Watch California!!!

Can begin todays EQ Blog with Iceland Volcano-Quake Chase 2014 Podcast! CLICK Arrow:


I suppose you could call it the big news and that is that they have been getting a lot of earthquakes around the Monterrey Bay Region with an epicenter by the name of Ridgemark, California, or it looks like about 10 miles south of Ridgemark. Space permitting right now, here is that whole entire list up to about midnight Friday Night Central time:

0.7 10km S of Ridgemark, California 2014-08-29 19:35:14
1.0 14km SSE of Ridgemark, California 2014-08-29 19:30:57
2.4 15km SSE of Ridgemark, California 2014-08-29 19:06:47
0.8 12km SSE of Ridgemark, California 2014-08-29 18:59:41
1.7 14km SSE of Ridgemark, California 2014-08-29 18:41:02
0.9 14km SSE of Ridgemark, California 2014-08-29 18:35:07
0.9 14km SSE of Ridgemark, California 2014-08-29 18:34:13
3.4 14km SSE of Ridgemark, California 2014-08-29 18:32:05
2.1 14km SSE of Ridgemark, California 2014-08-29 18:27:45
1.9 14km SSE of Ridgemark, California 2014-08-29 18:08:38
2.3 14km SSE of Ridgemark, California 2014-08-29 17:47:42
2.2 14km SSE of Ridgemark, California 2014-08-29 17:39:16
3.0 14km SSE of Ridgemark, California 2014-08-29 16:44:16
1.2 21km SE of Ridgemark, California 2014-08-29 02:19:23

Of course the largest of those including the one that caused my phone to ring at some point in the day on Friday at the bottom and the list reads up from there. Looks like that would have been the 3.0 at 4:44pm or the 3.4 at 6:32pm.

As of this writing the big Iceland Volcano has pretty much came and gone with one report having the whole eruption lasting about 4 hours and ending around 2:41am Iceland Time. In fact the real biggest part of that story is not even the Iceland eruption itself, rather the fact that another completely different volcano in the Pacific Islands had an even bigger eruption at about the same time! Yes, I was even about to write that when one volcano is about to erupt, quite commonly another generally will also be erupting due of course to whatever reason that works in that manner. I did notice Volcano, Hawaii and Redoubt Volcano, Alaska also suddenly showing up on those lists at around the same time as Iceland was doing all the shaking, but honestly have no idea what that's all about and as I say volcanoes are a bit out of my field. The other volcano is Papua New Guinea and named Rabual and here's that story: http://www.vox.com/2014/8/29/6082591/iceland-bardarbunga-eruption-papua-new-guinea-rabaul


Finally it is the Anniversary of the landfall of Hurricane Katrina at Louisiana and into the day on Saturday as far as that huge Category 3 or 4 windstorm continued on with the Islamabad Earthquake following on October 8 with 75,000 deaths. As I now count the days closely, it looks like Day 39 or Day 40 following that landfall. Today most famous for the fact that the long winded landfall that continued to churn and maintain hurricane strength for so many hours that I forecast the earthquake that would follow would be of equal intensity to that landfall with a high number of huge aftershocks which today that Islamabad Earthquake is famous for.

Still more earthquakes out there headed for different places around the world so continue to watch! Possibly at least one MagaThruster, too! EQ Guy

Podcast Iceland Volcano-Quake Chase 2014: Oakland!!!

Thank-You For Listening!!! EQ Guy

EQ Guy Sends Appology To California And National Earthquake Prediction Evaluation Councils: NEPEC Replies "No Need To Appologize" Says Continue To File Official Predictions!!! UPDATE: Iceland Volcano Is Erupting!!!

UPDATE: Iceland Volcano IS Erupting!!!!! Air Traffic/Aviation Alert Level lowered from Red due to lava/steam release and presently NO ash, BBC Story@ http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-28977773 . . .NOW Todays EQ Blog:

I finally caught up with the folks at the California and National Earthquake Prediction Evaluation Councils to update them on "Quake Chase 2014: Oakland" as well as updates on several typhoons as well as apologizing for not keeping them up-to-date, and here is a link to that letter at EQ Blog-2: http://earthquakealert2.blogspot.com/2014/08/updated-information-on-san.html Note that NEPEC has already replied saying "No Need To Apologize" and that I should continue to file my "Official Predictions" with them in the future.

You can check out the total list of all earthquakes that have ever been recorded at Iceland going back many years of 4 or 5 Magnitude and over, although it now looks like volcano is erupting up there, so this paragraph has been edited. See the list for yourself @ http://hraun.vedur.is/ja/ymislegt/storskjalf.html

Just saying. . . here's a story I came across while researching all of this! Of course at least one volcano has produced Poison Gas! Here is that Volcano of 1986 Story@ http://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/august/21/newsid_3380000/3380803.stm I do recall seeing somewhere that Iceland did have at least one major volcano that killed a lot of farm animals! HOPE this will not be the case!!! Think that was the one I discussed in yesterdays EQ Blog. See Laki Volcano at Wikipedia@ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laki

This was forwarded to me from a reader, showing Hurricane Cristobal heading directly for ICELAND!!! I suppose this could be a factor. . . if they were going to get a volcano? Here is the link: http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/refresh/graphics_at4+shtml/203538.shtml?5-daynl#contents

That is about all there is right at the moment! I will update if later on Friday with all the latest info on Volcano Erupting in Iceland, sorry I had to heavily edit this EQ Blog! Here's that conclusion before editing: Shout Out to "Guy From Pittsburgh" who was concerned about me mentioning the fact that it is common for the news to report that aftershocks could be bigger than the original earthquake. Just want to repeat what I replied to him earlier, and that is just a saying and only that. And that I do not believe repeating that "Old Saying" has any affect on the likelihood of this occurring. Then there was the one comment that wasn't printable:))))) And of course anonymous! You are up-to-date!!! Thank-You For Reading!!! God Bless our Friends up around Iceland!!! EQ Guy

Reality of Iceland Volcano Comes Into Focus!!! How Huge Could It Be???

As we continue to watch all of what is going on with the Iceland Volcano and my phone continues to chime every so often with more 5 Magnitude Earthquakes striking that volcano region, I have had more and more time to look into what all is going on up there and found some very interesting historical stuff along the way!

The latest information as of today with all due respect for other earthquake stuff going on around the world and California, up in Iceland it is not looking good! Then, on top of that I had to run into a story about the Laki Volcano there from 1783-1784 and a lot of new information saying global warming and melting of ice caps due to climate change could now also be a factor in a Major Eruption! That Story@ http://www.theguardian.com/science/blog/2014/aug/28/iceland-volcano-2010-flight-chaos
AND the Wikipedia Entry for Laki @ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laki

The biggest parts of both of those stories that really caught my attention the most was the fact that one of those eruptions was of the "Poisonous Gas" type and the Wikipedia Laki story gives all the exact names of those gasses and somewhere in all of that was also the story about how one of those eruptions brought about the extremely coldest winter, also! So, there is where I get a lot of the information of the type that I am leaning heavily on! You might also notice that none of the other stories as far as I could see have any mention of the eruptions being preceded by a lot of 5 Magnitude Earthquakes, too! Just going from memory, it seems like that honor is reserved for the likes of a Mt. Vesuvius. Famous for having had earthquakes preceding that enormous eruption back in the year 79AD.

A quick check revealed we are still watching for Major Earthquake Resultants from landfalls of Typhoon Halong/Japan on August 7, 2014 listing Sweeden and Ireland on my sheet among probably other places, but still seemingly endangering Iceland in a big way! Also Hurricane Iselle/Hawaii on August 8, 2014 with Sumatra, Banda Aceh, Indonesia on that list. Possibly still out there now is Typhoon Ramassun/Philippines, however I noticed San Francisco/Napa, California on August 24, 2014 would have been like Day 41 after that landfall and am wondering if there is still a MegaThruster out there? Do have to point out Potential Earthquake Energy from Ramassun/Philippines is headed in opposite direction of California and is likely still out there heading towards Afghanistan/Pakistan, Nepal, PNG, or Fiji, Solomon, Vanautu as my sheet says.

While they like to say a week after Napa Earthquake lessens the chance of a Major Aftershock, the aftershocks are currently slowing on what you could call schedule, but we should continue to watch for safety sake it might NOT have been the Grand Finale. . . if you know what I mean!!! Be Prepared!!! EQ Guy

BIG News Is San Francisco COULD Get 7 or 8 Richters, Yet!!! Iceland Quakes/Volcano Connected?

I want to start off today saying that I'm Very sorry to report one death associated with Napa Earthquake and boy with serious injuries headed to physical therapy @ http://napavalleyregister.com/news/local/napa-boy-recovering-from-injuries-suffered-in-earthquake/article_1d4bec82-2bda-53a7-9a2e-88336bec87b2.html

Lots of earthquake stuff happening including the fact that with a 6.0 leading the way in California, it occurred to me this was sort of the situation at Christchurch and I now want everybody to know that at that time I was saying that was NOT the Grand Finale!!! EQ Guy turned out to be RIGHT!!! Great Japan Earthquake and Tsunami WAS how that story ended! Today, it might be time for California to realize that a 6.0 might not be the "Grand Finale" for San Francisco. . . as most Californians probably already know and fully understand. Be watching due to somewhere in the neighborhood of 3 more Major Earthquakes still lurking out there around the Pacific Tectonic Plate.

Speaking of tectonic plates, that swarm at Lakeview started up again on Tuesday and would you believe that among the biggest ones in that swarm yesterday was one with TWO felt reports coming from Napa, California!!! Tells me that in addition to that already being one of the reasons for my Quake Chase 2014: Oakland in the first place. . . that ALL of the shaking that had been going on up there at Lakeview north of Reno, Nevada had already been a factor in the ground potentially moving in Napa. Further research on that subject also then revealed that both the Iceland Volcano, and Napa, California Earthquakes are situated out along the very edges of the North American Tectonic Plate and probably simply bumping that big tectonic plate back and forth, resulting in both events taking place at around the same time! This proved true in 2010 when the Eureka 2010 Earthquake happened on January 9. . . and Haiti struck on January 12 just a few days later! So, if anybody was wondering these two are probably connected like that, too, at least that is my opinion.

Here is a Great Picture of Askja Volcano Caldera in Iceland from USGS says public domain pic, so~~~
Finally, they are now saying magma in Iceland might be heading for Askja Volcano. . .where it continues to look like it might be that life-as-we-know-it ending Volcano! This mostly based on the fact that such things DO occur from time to time as well as the volcanoes that emit so much ash that they literally block out the sun for long periods! A report also has the sky being blue as a result of a lot of emissions from one volcano. . . so possibly good-bye blue sky hello purple sky? Link To Volcano Vid at You-Tube: http://youtu.be/2Bz_tcigRHs Very Popular!!! Check It Out!!!

So keep watching California and especially San Francisco Bay Area for 7 to 7.6 Richters for a while just out of precaution and watch earthquakes in Iceland get bigger with a 5.2 and 5.6 that just struck 2 1/2 hours apart late on Tuesday which is a sign of even bigger earthquakes to come. . . and probably a huge volcano eruption, too!

Upcoming Iceland Volcano COULD Be The End Of The WORLD!!! August New Moon Window Continues!!! New 3.9 Aftershock!

UPDATE: 3.9 Aftershock Strikes American Canyon, California at 5:33am Pacific. NOW Todays EQ Blog:

It doesn't happen very often that I have the opportunity to write what could be about the only Blog telling you that the upcoming Iceland Volcano has the POTENTIAL to bring about the end of the world! I suppose you would also want to know that worse case scenario it still only means the end of life on land. . . generally 90% of life in the oceans survive such a cataclysm anywayz, just sayin'!!! Here's This Weeks EQ Video Log with a lot more about all that and some San Francisco Earthquake info, too!!! CLICK Arrow:


Just finished with the very latest Update on the Felt Report for the San Francisco-Napa Earthquake and here is a link to that: http://eqalert.blogspot.com/2014/08/61-richters-earthquake-25-miles-north.html

And just for anybody who would like to view the entire list of the Napa Earthquake and all of the aftershocks so far, you can now view that at Earthquake Central, too!!! Here's the Earthquake and all Aftershocks: http://eqalert.blogspot.com/2014/08/san-francisco-napa-california.html

August New Moon Window will run pretty much all through Tuesday although exact moment will be 7:13am Pacific Time, so let us continue to be watching closely into the afternoon anyways, although the seriousness of it may wane in the hours immediately following that moment. Such things as the Iceland Volcano are on entirely different schedules and will not so much be affected by the end of the New Moon Window, rather, they will continue to shake until in the case of that volcano it will eventually erupt! Keep in mind that I was also in Oakland on Quake Chase 2014 at the moment of the August New Moon/SuperMoon. . . and that earthquake ended up shaking in the New Moon Window instead!!! So, all of the alerts should continue because there are still Halong and Iselle among others and it looks like a brand new one is on the way, too, possibly more than one!

As I was preparing this blog entry, I noticed on my phone there was just a 5.7 Iceland Earthquake, too! These are HUGE Foreshocks to what will probably be a historical big Volcano Event!!!!! So, Be Watching for Major Earthquakes and one hella big Volcano!!!!! EQ Guy

San Francisco Earthquake-Iceland Volcano Video Log of August 25, 2014, CLICK Arrow:

. . . ALSO, Here is a link to it on YouTube@ http://youtu.be/2Bz_tcigRHs and Thank-You For Watching!!! EQ Guy

Details From 6.1 Richters San Francisco-Oakland Earthquake of Early Sunday! WATCH For More Aftershocks There!!! NOW Updated Felt Reports, Too!!!

UPDATE: Now Updated Felt Report as of 9am Pacific has added Santa Monica, San Diego, Oceanside, Wilmington, Woodland Hills, Paso Robles, Oxnard, Marina Del Rey, and Covina! SEE @ http://www.eqalert.blogspot.com/2014/08/61-richters-earthquake-25-miles-north.html . . . NOW Todays EQ Blog:

Here is all of the latest statistical information from Sundays 6.1 San Francisco Earthquake: First I located the Official Prediction that I had filed for California back in like June and scrolled down to find one extension posted there. You can view it all @ http://earthquakealert3.blogspot.com/2014/06/official-prediction-due-to-chance-west.html#comment-form . . . THAT Extension looks like it was effective until the date I wrote on there or August 15, 2014 although a check revealed if it was an extension due to the landfall of Hurricane Arthur on July 3, 2014, then it would have actually run until August 24, 2014 just saying, although the date posted was as usual the much more near and concise date, Day 52 after that landfall was August 24.

Next, Sunday was also Day 44 after the landfall of Super Typhoon Neoguri at Japan and the sheet actually has listed Western Canada, Boise, and Salt Lake City and memory tells me those winds at landfall might have just equaled about the amount of earthquake energy we are looking at in Northern California right now. In fact, if this is the case that should also be about the end of it, due to Neoguri quickly just crossing Japan and that being that.

There will also potentially be some problem with that NEW MOON Exact Moment being early on Monday Morning Pacific Time or 7:13am Pacific. Reason I say that is due to a recent matter involving Virginia City, Nevada where in the hours PRIOR to the exact moment of the New Moon there was a ton of activity. . . . . that all QUIT at the exact moment. Not in itself that big of a problem you are saying if all of it does quit, right? That was until a recent similar matter where Mammoth Lakes STARTED all of its shaking at the Exact Moment of yet another New Moon!!! Soooooo, leaves us wondering WHAT is going to happen on Monday Morning at 7:13am Pacific Time??? Might that be all she wrote for those aftershocks? Might that be the next BIG California Earthquake? WHAT will happen at 7:13am Pacific Time in San Francisco?????

In some other also related news, Amtrak has once again started running all of its trains into and out of San Francisco and Oakland and you can check out that train order @: http://www.amtrak.com/servlet/ContentServer?c=AM_Alert_C&pagename=am/AM_Alert_C/Alerts_Popup&cid=1251626624052

Finally, I am now declaring my recent "Quake Chase 2014" an Unofficial Success!!! Fact being I did journey out there exactly two weeks ago to be there during the August New Moon-Super Moon. . . . . AND this 6.1 DID strike during the immediately following August New Moon!!! You could say I only missed being situated there right smack in the middle of Oakland right between Carl's Jr, and Kaiser Permenante while those thousands and thousands of people were connecting with the USGS and reporting all of those now millions of felt reports!!! Here is that felt report, Check It Out at Earthquake Central: http://www.eqalert.blogspot.com/2014/08/61-richters-earthquake-25-miles-north.html . . . CLOSE ENOUGH to my ultimate goal of actually being there when the next big California, San Francisco, Oakland Earthquake strikes! Missed by like 12 days!

Could be more Major Earthquakes yet to come due to lots of earthquake energy still being out there and also a 6.9 struck like in the mountains of Peru with so far no felt reports. More Earthquakes coming and probably more San Francisco-Oakland Aftershocks, too!!! God Bless!!! EQ Guy

6.1 Richters Earthquakes Strikes 25 Miles North of San Francisco!!! Thousands Of Felt Reports From San Francisco and Oakland Regions!!! Be Watching And Be Prepared For Those Aftershocks!!!

This Huge California Earthquake struck 6 miles South of Napa, California just 3 hours and 53 minutes BEFORE the exact moment of the August 2014 New Moon Window which followed immediately at 7:13am Pacific Time and will continue to run now through Tuesday. There have been as would be expected, a lot of aftershocks and the felt report on this is so huge that I will give it until later this afternoon to continue getting all caught up and then update it on a separate page at that time.

For now Berkeley 473, Half Moon Bay 70, Martinez 228, Milbrae 106, Daly City 162, Hayward 107, Oakland 958, Reno 2, Sacramento 340, San Francisco 2105, San Jose 890, Tehachapi 1, Venice 1, Belvidere-Tiburon 86, Monterey 3, Menlo Park 112, French Camp 1, and Mountain View 316. UPDATE: Amtrak temporarily canceled all trains around the Bay Area Early Sunday, BUT now seems to be back operating!!! SEE @ http://www.amtrak.com/servlet/ContentServer?c=AM_Alert_C&pagename=am/AM_Alert_C/Alerts_Popup&cid=1251626624052 ALSO Just In: Governor Jerry Brown has declared a State Of Emergency in a Proclaimation @ http://www.sfexaminer.com/sanfrancisco/60-magnitude-earthquake-reported-in-bay-area/Content?oid=2883611

Both of the long list of aftershocks and the long and growing list of felt reports will be updated later today, sorry for so much earthquake information being happening and I will have all of this up-to-date for my Early Monday Morning EQ Blog and if no more major shakers come along a Video Log, too!!!

Until then the New Moon Window Will Continue Through Tuesday at 7:13am Pacific Time with the EXACT MOMENT coming early Monday Morning, and so we will still need to keep watching around that now very shaky San Francisco-Oakland Region of course for more aftershocks, but there is always the chance something bigger could shake, and occasionally there is such a thing as MORE of the same in this case 6.1 Richters Aftershocks could follow! LOTS of sources of Major Earthquakes are still out there! I suppose it is possible this California shaking will take at least some of the pressure off the Iceland Volcano due to how Plate Tectonics works. . . sorry it has to be at the expense of a lot of our California Friends! Iceland Volcano now Downgraded from RED to Orange!!! @ http://mashable.com/2014/08/23/iceland-volcano-eruption-aviation-alert-bardarbunga/?utm_cid=mash-com-Tw-main-link

More Earthquakes will continue to shake, just the same as most of you reading this probably already know! So, continue to watch and always be prepared for earthquakes! God Bless!!! EQ Guy

Several Major Possible Earthquake Sources Heading Towards Iceland!!! COULD Continue To Shake!!! COULD Erupt At Any Moment!!! New Moon Window Starts 7:13am Pacific Time on Sunday Morning!!!

UPDATE: They're Now Saying Sub-Eruption with eruption imminent! ALSO: August New Moon Window will start at 9:13am Central Time on Sunday Morning!!! SOMETHING Could Happen!!! Volcano Story @ http://abcnews.go.com/Health/wireStory/quakes-surge-iceland-volcano-eruption-25096339 NOW Todays EQ Blog:

Unless something major comes in, we can start today with this weeks Podcast all about that Iceland Volcano which I will be discussing at length following the Podcast! CLICK Arrow to Play:


There was also a comment that came in regarding a HUGE Crack that appeared in Mexico and after checking it out, I realized it is easily worth mentioning!!! Like 30 or 50 feet deep and a mile long with no explanation!!! Here is a link to that story courtesy of a kind commenter in yesterdays EQ Blog, Thank-You!!! @ http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/video-shows-enormous-crack-in-the-ground-in-northern-mexico-9684673.html

Now, here is the updated info I have been working on!!! First, I knew so I went back and checked and found Hurricane Arthur landfall at Moorhead City, North Carolina left a trail of possible earthquake energy and you might recall Iceland being mentioned there and although it runs out on August 24, something could still shake there with that. With all do respect for the fact that Typhoon Ramassun is the big one that is missing as far as being a possible MegaThruster. . . I located that crossing the Indian Ocean and EuroAsian Tectonic Plates and possibly pushing a lot of that Major Earthquake Energy up in the general direction of Iceland! There are several factors that could be factors in the movement of Euro/Asian and Indian Ocean Tectonic Plates since my sheet does say Nepal and it appears to be situated right about on the boundary between those two tectonic plates and therefore anything could happen there! With Iceland very much out there along that Plate Boundary where all those plates meet the Mid-Atlantic.

Last on my list is yet another very interesting twist on the whole Iceland Volcano question! That was the landfall of Typhoon Halong at Japan on August 7, 2014. My sheet clearly lists Russia, Sweden, and Ireland and a quick check of the globe looks like Iceland is situated right in there and if there IS too much Earthquake Energy heading for Sweden and Ireland. . . then it seems also surely headed for Iceland!!!

As of this writing there is no more to report, but with all of those potential sources of some reasonable amounts of Earthquake Energy out there and seemingly headed in the direction of Iceland, it COULD still shake well into September!!! Be Watching because it could also erupt at about any time now, too!!! EQ Guy

Iceland Volcano Podcast!!! CLICK Arrow:

Thank-You for Listening!!! EQ Guy

4.8 Richters Strikes Iceland Near Volcano!!! ALSO: Swarm Happening at Volcano, Hawaii, Too!!! Update: Latest Volcano Story

While the rest of the world is watching and waiting for that one volcano to erupt and they are even taking a lot of precautions up in the area around it, there was just now prior to me writing this EQ Blog, the biggest earthquake that has ever struck Iceland in many, many years! 4.8 Richters is bigger than all of the earthquakes that I seen on any of the lists all through history and seems to be telling folks that volcano is going to erupt. I found the exact epicenter to be Vatnajökull National Park at 6 Miles West of what appeared to be the exact location of the Volcano so I typed in the name "Bardarbung" and it highlighted a spot just two miles north of the epicenter of the 4.8 Richters Shaker that struck at 6:50pm Central Time on Thursday Night. Probably should keep a watch on that volcano, due to that one being kind of close and there continuing to be a lot of Major Earthquake energy still out there!

I couldn't help also noticing the name Volcano, Hawaii coming up several times on the list, too, and am looking at this list and wondering why it seems like there are all these volcanoes all shaking at the same time? Redoubt Volcano in Alaska, too! In fact if Volcano Hawaii keeps shaking, I could very soon need to start its own page for that big list it is starting to look like it will become. At present it is something like 18 Earthquakes in the most recent 24 hours, so you know it is simply a long list of earthquakes listed as 4, 5, 7, and 8 Miles South or South Southeast of Volcano, Hawaii. Perhaps the volcano is that many miles South or South Southeast of a town by that name, not sure.

So, I have to also say that Volcanoes are not exactly what you might call in my field and so I am not really able to go into any more detail about what I know historically about them or their potential to erupt, because I have not been studying them and can only say at this point there could still be earthquakes and the possibility for something even much bigger yet will remain! LATEST NEWS STORY ON Volcano@ http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/iceland-volcano-bardarbunga-shaken-by-3-earthquakes-1.2743807

There are plenty of alerts out there and while mostly the one single MegaThruster/Tsunami alert looms, there is still an alert for Afghanistan/Pakistan/Nepal and Indonesia. That volcano does look like it might be doing something and I can only say there are more Major Earthquakes coming and so that sort of makes it look inevitable that the volcano will erupt, but I must add there do not seem to be any of these biggest earthquakes exactly headed in the direction of Iceland. Volcanoes being what they are I first believe the earthquakes do not know where the volcano is. . . and secondly agree with the experts and say it is probably going to erupt very soon! Maybe it is going to wait several more weeks for an alert to be heading directly for it, as has been the case in the past.

This weeks EQ Video Log is longer, but is getting views just the same at 10 Minutes! I hope you will take this one final chance to check it out for pics and clips of Quake Chase 2014: Oakland!!! @ https://t.co/hBEGIVjhp6 THANK-YOU, Again For Reading!!! EQ Guy

4.1 Strikes 133 Miles South of Sacramento, California!!! LOTS of Felt Reports Coming In!!!

This earthquake just so happened to come in as todays EQ Blog was all ready to go just now needing to be all rewritten to include this 4.1 Richters shaker with tons of felt reports coming in from all over the Central California Region! As of this writing and this will need a lot of updating later in the day, Monterey 13, Morgan Hill 2, Mountain View 1, Pebble Beach 1, Santa Cruz 10, and Watsonville 2. As these come in and especially if they begin to come in from San Francisco and Oakland, then I will start a page for these over at Earthquake Central. For now know it was widely felt in that region AND there could be plenty more where that one came from!

There are still some Major Earthquake resultants from those landfalls of Neoguri/Kyushu, Japan, Ramassun/Philippines, Matmo/Taiwan, Halong/Japan, and Iselle/Hawaii. LOTS of earthquakes left to talk about and headed in a lot of different directions around the globe! We should mostly watch for that biggest of them all, the landfall of Typhoon Ramassun at Philippines which should probably mean a Major MegaThruster/Tsunami Event.

New Information regarding the Magnitudes of those New Madrid Earthquakes has come forward to me as a result of the BSSA. You can see the same abbreviated version of a Seismology Story @ http://bssa.geoscienceworld.org/content/104/4/1709.abstract?smtoc UPDATE: According to me, you might want to know my take on that story is as follows. The Newly Revised numbers are something like December 16, 1811-6.9 Richters, January 23, 1812-6.8 Richters, February 7, 1812-7.7 Richters. So, those are the new updated numbers and I mostly want to add that by todays 2014 standards what always happens next or usually just a few hours down the road is the USGS takes those numbers and changes them AGAIN. . . for whatever reason. Therefore you can almost say that we have NOW Officially come up with a good set of EXACT Numbers for those earthquakes at New Madrid!!! And that the USGS will most likely be changing them again and making them OFFICIALLY something else!!! You are up to date!


I didn't exactly touch that much on the Iceland Volcano, but did see where a game is being canceled or postponed due to it!!! Here's more info on that Volcano up in Iceland. . . a game might be postponed in Ireland!!! @ http://www.foxsports.com/college-football/story/ucf-penn-state-ireland-game-volcano-week-1-082014

Hope you will take a few minutes (Looks like maybe 10, actually) and view all my groovy film clips thrown together into a nice vid at the end of this weeks Video Log about recent earthquakes. I've also included a lot of pictures in mostly chronological order as I went from Amtrak through Colorado to Frisco and back!!! Notice I left out a pic of the Great Salt Lake, too!!! First the link to the vid: https://t.co/hBEGIVjhp6 THEN, I will run that pic just for the fun of it!!!
This is that Great Pic that got left out from my EQ V-Log all about my trip to San Francisco, Oakland last week on Amtrak!!! This is a pic of Great Salt Lake!!! Taken from window of Amtrak California Zephyr!!! EQ V-Log @ https://t.co/hBEGIVjhp6

Update: Looks like I was RIGHT!!! They downgraded the 4.1 South of Sacramento Earthquake, and it is right this moment a 3.8 Richters!!! Thank-You Again for Reading!!! EQ Guy

3.3 Utah, 2.8 San Simeon, And NorCal Swarm Continues!!! PLUS: EQ V-Log With Quake Chase Oakland!!!

LETS Start With Big Video Log: Quake Chase 2014 Oakland!!! CLICK Arrow:
Country Names-Russia, Sweden, Ireland, CLOSE but not Iceland!? NOW. . . Todays EQ Blog:

Big Swarm is continuing up at Northern California! This usually means something will be shaking at some point! That was until all the ones that struck just prior to this EQ Blog that I mentioned in the headline! Now Updated LIST of all those earthquakes in the NorCal (Northern California) Swarm @ http://eqalert.blogspot.com/2014/08/swarm-again-at-lakeview-oregon-heres.html

So, the real big news for today is the fact that it now looks like ONE of those big two Major Earthquakes that we have been watching for is about now over! There will be that other one that is decidedly probably more major the result of that intensly much more long winded landfall of Typhoon Ramassun at Philippines over a long period of hours and which will usually result in an equally long, long earthquake sequence which up to this point I don't beleive we have seen. That one is yet to come and August 24, through August 27 are still very much key dates in that potential major shaker being Day 40 and Day 43. Day 43 is the day the Great Islamabad Earthquake struck after the landfall of Hurricane Katrina.

There was also that 4.2 Oklahoma Earthquake that someone might have been expecting with all the smaller ones that have been striking there! Here is that felt report which will need updating later today: http://www.eqalert.blogspot.com/2014/08/42-richters-strikes-24-miles-north-of.html

Thank-You for Reading and be watching, there are still several earthquakes out there waiting to happen!!! EQ Guy

NEW Swarm Striking Northern California!!! WAS 6.2 Iran From Landfall of Ramassun at Vietnam/China??? 4.2 Oklahoma at 7:41am CDT

JUST IN: 4.2 Strikes 24 Miles North of Oklahoma City! Felt Report @ http://eqalert.blogspot.com/2014/08/42-richters-strikes-24-miles-north-of.html . . . . .NOW Todays EQ Blog:
Ok, I'm all ready this time, having took some time to study all my latest info and here is that story! My first question was the deal with that 6.2 Iran Earthquake of yesterday and then noticing all those aftershocks and a lot of them! Well, it seemed to me that I had mentioned Iran in a recent alert and so on Monday Night I found some time to look that up and can hardly believe that I found the name "Bam, Iran" listed in the Globe Readings from the landfall of Typhoon Ramassun at Vietnam/China!!! Yes, and I've even heard said that those are even TWO DIFFERENT Landfalls themselves! That would be landfall of Typhoon Ramassun first at China. . . then hours or a day or so later at Vietnam. Have not yet checked for sure which one leads to that Bam, Iran reading and up to this point am still considering that particular event as one single landfall due to it being situated just a few, maybe fifty or a hundred miles apart. You can view the entire updated list of ALL those Iran Earthquakes and Aftershocks at Earthquake Central: http://eqalert.blogspot.com/2014/08/62-iran-with-many-more-at-that-epicenter.html

More! Looking over the other alerts on my "Hurricane Card/Sheet", I came up with some help on the recent situation with a Big Giant Volcano at Iceland that they are currently up there and watching and waiting to see what will happen next and just had the biggest earthquake at Iceland in many years last week! Well, here's that story. . . looks like the landfall of Typhoon Halong at Japan on August 7, 2014 has Russia, Sweden, and Ireland in its crosshairs and I'm noticing Iceland just so happens to be right up there in that same neighborhood! However, this line does not seem to indicate that it will be going directly through Iceland, so I might GUESS no major eruption right this moment. Days of significance up that way are August 28=Day 21, and September 9=Day 33 and don't forget there probably WILL be an earthquake up in that immediate neighborhood but hopefully no volcano!

There is starting to be some trouble with that swarm that was shaking Northern California just prior to my Quake Chase 2014 up to that region, and just Monday, there are now a huge number of new shakers at that town north of Reno and you can view the updated list of all those recent ones @ http://eqalert.blogspot.com/2014/08/swarm-again-at-lakeview-oregon-heres.html

Finally, in addition to all that happening up in the Northern California Region, there was also this one here that struck right about Midnight early Monday Morning that I promised the felt report from at press time yesterday. That is the 3.7 Earthquake at Big Bear City, so here is that felt report, also at Earthquake Central: http://www.eqalert.blogspot.com/2014/08/37-big-bear-city-at-1155pm-central-time.html . . . TELLS Me between that Northern California Swarm, the Berkeley Earthquake from late Sunday, and now that 3.7 Big Bear City tells me California should be prepared!!! Thank-You For Reading!!! EQ Guy

6.2 Iran!!! Lots Of Earthquakes at Incline Village, Nevada, and Again More At Oklahoma!!! LATE Sunday Night a 3.7 Near Big Bear Lake!!!

Just In: 3.7 Richters Near Big Bear Lake, California! FELT REPORT is IN!!! @ http://eqalert.blogspot.com/2014/08/37-big-bear-city-at-1155pm-central-time.html

NOW Todays EQ Blog:
Originally I was awoken at some point by my phone ringing to tell me there was a 3.5 Richters 6.2 Miles North of Incline Village at 2:42am that message came to my phone and caused a lot of concern for me since it sounds like it is exactly along my Amtrak Route up through that Sierras Region! How bad would it be, etc. . . however when I double-checked it first thing on Sunday Morning it was gone with no explanation! Here is the list that has struck up at that basic location since then:

1.2 10km NNW of Incline Village, Nevada 2014-08-17 16:54:34
1.1 10km NNW of Incline Village, Nevada 2014-08-17 16:13:06
1.0 11km NNW of Incline Village, Nevada 2014-08-17 16:04:05
1.6 10km NNW of Incline Village, Nevada 2014-08-17 14:37:35
0.1 3km W of Tahoe Vista, California 2014-08-17 06:21:15
0.9 3km W of Tahoe Vista, California 2014-08-17 06:13:48
1.2 11km NNW of Incline Village, Nevada 2014-08-17 02:36:01
0.2 9km N of Incline Village, Nevada 2014-08-17 01:02:12

Just prior to that one that struck long after I hit the hay for the night, there was another one that caused some concern and so I double-checked the felt report on the 2.6 Berkeley, California Earthquake and came up with a lot of felt reports from Berkeley, and Oakland along with surprisingly Emeryville!!! Here is that list:
http://eqalert.blogspot.com/2014/08/26-richters-strikes-one-mile-southeast.html FELT Reports now coming in from Big Bear City 3.7, and I will have update later in day unless something more major strikes before that.

NOW Onto Oklahoma!!! Right at the moment I have no explanation for all the earthquakes that struck there just in the last 25 hours. I suppose you could say it's rather obvious there is going to be a big one, but the big one we are watching for is like an 8 or 9 Magnitude and one has to hope it doesn't strike at or near Oklahoma! But it looks like it is probably going to! Starting to look like this will now be the next Great New Madrid Earthquake in a matter of time, however impossible to say when exactly that will be, would you just look at the list of earthquakes that struck in the last 24 hours or you could say on Sunday:

3.4 13km S of Boley, Oklahoma 2014-08-17 21:50:09
3.8 13km NE of Cherokee, Oklahoma 2014-08-17 20:25:57
2.6 1km SE of Cherokee, Oklahoma 2014-08-17 11:50:07
3.1 13km WNW of Medford, Oklahoma 2014-08-17 11:35:07
3.4 13km WNW of Medford, Oklahoma 2014-08-17 10:59:05
3.0 4km ESE of Perry, Oklahoma 2014-08-17 08:43:31
2.7 9km WNW of Medford, Oklahoma 2014-08-17 02:28:37
3.5 9km WNW of Medford, Oklahoma 2014-08-17 01:31:10
3.8 9km WNW of Medford, Oklahoma 2014-08-17 01:18:43

Too many to count there, but I did go back and count the total from 7 days and came up with 27!!! Although that does just average out to like 3 a day so I checked and found part of the reason was because I was checking hours after last weekends Full Moon window would have ended and there were like 13 of them that day alone! So it would probably add up to 40 in 7 days if you could add just that one day, but then it would be 8 days, too!

There are still many alerts out for a lot of different parts of the globe. There was also a 6.2 Richters and many aftershocks 300 Miles South of Tehran, Iran near border with Iraq and near oil production there, and while Iran just might have covered at least one of those, let us continue to watch for a MegaThruster because I do not believe 6.2 Iran would quite cover the landfall of Typhoon Ramassun at Philippines so keep watching for something like huge there!!!

3.4 Richters Malibu, And 3.1 Richters New Mexico Earthquakes!!! ALSO: Swarms, Swarms, Swarms!!!

Just in a 3.1 at Lordsburg, New Mexico at 11:13pm Central Time. The felt reports from New Mexico will not be complete until later in the day and other earthquakes could overshadow it before then, so let us move on, now. If you have only been following my EQ Blog for about the last year or so, you might be surprised at the number of things going on, here! As I was checking the globe just now in preparation for this EQ Blog it occurred to me that normally there would hardly be one of these alerts such as right this moment there seem to be about 5 or 10 of!!! Am very sorry it is so difficult to keep track of and that to the people who have only started reading in the last year or so there is basically just never this much going on! Can't personally recall the last time I had to keep track of so many different tracks of possible earthquake energy heading towards so many different places all at the same time, so do be prepared because a few of these are still big enough that they warrant undivided attention! It's just that in a normal Month of August there is sometimes nothing. . . other times perhaps ONE.

3.4 Richters Malibu, 10:03am Friday Morning Pacific Time, 6 Miles Southeast of Malibu, Here;s the felt report: http://eqalert.blogspot.com/2014/08/34-richters-6-miles-southeast-of-malibu.html

This little swarm I noticed near Old Faithful tells me there is still some earthquake energy going on somewhere. . . besides Wyoming probably, too!
0.9 31km E of Old Faithful Geyser, Wyoming 2014-08-15 02:14:19
0.2 32km E of Old Faithful Geyser, Wyoming 2014-08-15 02:14:13
1.2 36km E of Old Faithful Geyser, Wyoming 2014-08-15 02:10:57
1.4 33km E of Old Faithful Geyser, Wyoming 2014-08-15 02:10:06
1.0 32km E of Old Faithful Geyser, Wyoming 2014-08-15 02:08:46
1.2 31km E of Old Faithful Geyser, Wyoming 2014-08-15 02:06:43
0.7 31km E of Old Faithful Geyser, Wyoming 2014-08-15 02:06:23
0.4 31km E of Old Faithful Geyser, Wyoming 2014-08-15 02:05:37
1.4 32km E of Old Faithful Geyser, Wyoming 2014-08-15 01:57:01

AND While Anza does normally get small earthquakes, it is still a little bit rare for small swarms such as this one that also happened on Friday. With some further research such as checking the allignment of the times on this and Yellowstone above, you might discover a connection to these two.
0.8 21km ESE of Anza, California 2014-08-15 23:45:56
1.0 21km ESE of Anza, California 2014-08-15 23:45:31
0.7 22km ESE of Anza, California 2014-08-15 23:42:55
1.1 17km ESE of Anza, California 2014-08-15 08:07:03
1.2 17km ESE of Anza, California 2014-08-15 08:06:54
1.5 17km ESE of Anza, California 2014-08-15 08:03:03
0.8 18km ESE of Anza, California 2014-08-15 07:34:13

LOTS Of Earthquakes Struck At Oklahoma Day Of August Full Moon! A 2.7 Connecticut and 3.8 Yucca Valley On Thursday! ALSO: Today=EQ Guys Birthday!!!!!

Got The YouTube Player to work and now here's the Embeded version of this weeks EQ V-Log: Golder Gate! CLICK Arrow:


While going back and checking over all the earthquakes that happened while I was on the road over the weekend and discovered a Major Series of earthquakes just so happened to strike at Oklahoma! This is actually kind of hard to believe and is wayyyyy more earthquakes than I would have ever expected to see there. . . ESPECIALLY all of these on the DAY of the August 2014 Full Moon!!!!! Here's just the ones that struck on the same day as the August Full Moon/Super Moon or August 10, 2014:

2.1 3km S of Cushing, Oklahoma 2014-08-10 23:47:14
2.6 25km W of Medford, Oklahoma 2014-08-10 23:18:50
2.3 3km SSW of Cushing, Oklahoma 2014-08-10 22:06:12
2.5 3km SW of Cushing, Oklahoma 2014-08-10 21:54:18
2.6 12km SSW of Guthrie, Oklahoma 2014-08-10 19:38:32
3.4 14km E of Perry, Oklahoma 2014-08-10 17:29:04
2.2 6km NE of Anthony, Kansas 2014-08-10 16:23:12
3.2 11km WNW of Medford, Oklahoma 2014-08-10 09:54:27
2.7 10km WNW of Medford, Oklahoma 2014-08-10 09:19:15
2.5 11km W of Medford, Oklahoma 2014-08-10 09:07:11
2.5 14km SW of Perry, Oklahoma 2014-08-10 05:02:34

That there might just be more for the average reader who may not be exactly certain there is any connection to the Full Moon. . . especially with earthquakes striking Oklahoma!!!

This was not expected or intended to be the main subject of this EQ Blog, but as I was going over the list of latest earthquakes one more time prior to writing, I stumbled across the fact that even just Thursday of this week, or yesterday, there were even a lot of Oklahoma Earthquakes!? Here is yesterday for folks concerned or who like to keep track of such facts say in the event there might be a big one coming for Oklahoma, again:

2.9 9km SE of Langston, Oklahoma 2014-08-14 21:49:35
2.7 15km ENE of Perry, Oklahoma 2014-08-14 18:20:33
2.8 16km ENE of Perry, Oklahoma 2014-08-14 14:04:38
3.1 11km SSW of Langston, Oklahoma 2014-08-14 09:15:32
2.6 24km WSW of Perry, Oklahoma 2014-08-14 03:26:40
2.7 9km N of Helena, Oklahoma 2014-08-14 01:19:09

Two other earthquakes I also discovered just now worthy of a little write-up and one was 2.7 Richters 30 Miles South of Hartford, Connecticut with that felt report now at Earthquake Central @ http://eqalert.blogspot.com/2014/08/27-strikes-30-miles-south-of-hartford.html . . . AND, 3.8 Richters Strikes 23 Miles East of Big Bear City and 15 Miles North of Yucca Valley, California with that felt report @ http://eqalert.blogspot.com/2014/08/38-richters-strikes-15-miles-north-of.html

If I did all of this correct, I have now at least done somewhat of an update for today! There are still other facts that will need updating in coming days including a lot of stuff from Quake Chase 2014: Oakland! If all this was done right, folks, the date at the top of this EQ Blog SHOULD be EQ Guy's Birthday!!! Yes, August 15, 1960!!!

Here's My Best Pic of QuakeChase 2014 with many more coming in future EQ Blogs!!!

So, Be Watching because there are still several Major Earthquakes out there and at least one could be in the MegaThruster Range and with Tsunami easily as big as 6 to 10 or more feet! Complete Update coming as soon as I settle in home from trip to Oakland!!! EQ Guy

LIVE FROM OAKLAND, California!!! Quake Chase 2014, Continues!!! Keep Watching For MegaThruster-Tsunami. . .

UPDATE: Sorry, No Embeded Vid tonight! Here's a LINK To that "Golden Gate Video Log" @ http://youtu.be/Czx97CNkwCc NOW That EQ Blog:

As the final moments of the August 2014 Full Moon SuperMoon are coming to pass, it is time to say that it is also just Day 27 on the one big MegaThruster EQ Alert that has been bothering me the most. This Big Alert will now continue on beyond Day 27 and I especially watch for days such as Day 30, Day 33, and Day 43 since they just so happen to be days when notable earthquakes that were resultants from other huge windstorms such as Day 43 being the Islamabad Earthquake on Day 43 after the landfall of Hurricane Katrina.

LIKE the landfall of Hurricane Katrina, the landfall of Typhoon Rammasun could have been equally damaging to the location (s) it crossed over in Philippines and could produce a similarly big earthquake. . . and COULD even be taking all of those additional days due to it being so HUGE!!! Keep Watching!!!

There has also been a landfall of a Hurricane Iselle (?) at Hawaii that I have been on the road for way too long and do not have any information on that except that I managed to catch at least one mention of it on a local news show. Damage amounts will come as soon as I arrive back home and get to it, but looks like it could be still more earthquake trouble for somebody, somewhere. Landfall of a typhoon at Japan, too!

Note that I am not near internet access and train has no wireless so found this little out of the way place around Beautiful Oakland where I just have an hour to write! Be home later this week and train leaves Emeryville tomorrow morning at 9:40. The view of all of the Colorado River and all the gorges and canyons and mountains are all together indescribable!!! The thought of now heading back through there again is something I'm really looking forward to! Not to mention all the great scenery here in the San Francisco and Oakland, California!!! It's been Awesome!!!

Pictures and vid are currently downloading, Keep watching for earthquakes! See you when I get home at the end of the week!!! EQ Guy

2 Big Hurricanes Head For Hawaii, Iselle and Julio!!! Full Moon MegaThruster Coming!!!? San Franicso??? 8 or 9 Richters?

UPDATE: Quake Chase Oakland Podcast!!! CLICK Arrow To Listen!!!

NOW Todays EQ Blog:
Of course you might have it already figured out that what I'm talking about in the headline has more to do with the fact that I leave at around 3pm Central Time for where I go to catch most Westbound trains from this region at a town west of Chicago since one doesn't need to travel all the way to Chicago and then pay a daily parking fee. So, I will be on my way probably by the time a lot of you read this and taking two whole days of just riding the train!!! Lots of Great places I'll be passing through including Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Colorado, Grand Junction, Denver, and then Utah, Nevada, and of course quite a bit of Northern California in the final hours of my train ride! I could talk all day about a lot of the trip being the route of the Transcontinental Railroad and even right past the historic location of the "Golden Spike Ceremony" just north of Ogden Utah and now bypassed by todays much faster trains you know, but I have actually been up there and checked out the spot many years ago, too!

So, the headline is mostly talking about the fact that we WILL have to deal with those two MegaThruster Major Earthquakes that still seem to be out there as well as now 2 Major Hurricanes heading on a direct route for Hawaii in the coming days!!! And one Typhoon about to make landfall as I'm writing this EQ Blog and have a note in front of me to check on both of those! Just means all that many more earthquakes!

In my search for a route to Rollerblade across Frisco to Gateway Park, I not only found a bus that travels a lot of the route. . . but the search also located a ferry for me that I might not have otherwise known I can take across the bay!!! Directly from "Jack London Station" enough said! Beyond that only figuring out how to get from the Amtrak Station in Emeryville to Oakland to my motel, but as long a the weather goes ok for me walking or Rollerblading should work if I can carry my 28 pound travel bag 2 miles on Rollerblades! Otherwise walking will have to do, but carrying Rollerblades? Kind of look like the sort of streets where the blades might go well, so am thinking about trying it! Or perhaps a taxi to take me those first two miles of this years Quake Chase: Oakland!!!

Who will be shaking with the August 2014 Full Moon? Where will these two earthquakes end up shaking? San Francisco? California? Oakland??? Sorry, I'm not sure when the next time I will get a chance to update will be due to being traveling for the next few days, but I will try to send out a few Twitter messages like from the train whenever I can, so be watching for some Major Earthquakes and Be Prepared and I'll write you whenever I can. . . from Beautiful Downtown Oakland, California!!!!!

Full Moon Window Coming!!! Quake Chase 2014: Oakland-San Francisco!!!

Let's start out todays EQ Blog with a look at this weeks EQ V-Log!!! CLICK Arrow To Watch:


Next, I want to run the updated newest Earthquake Swarm happening up there in the Tri-State Region of Oregon, California, and Nevada. It goes by the name of Lakeview, Oregon although further east of there enough that I believe the epicenter of the swarm is situated in Nevada. You can check out that series of earthquakes updated @ http://eqalert.blogspot.com/2014/08/lakeview-oregonnorthwest-nevada-swarm.html

Finally, I managed to get all the things happening throughout the day on Tuesday in the hours after I produced that above magnificent vid. . . and am now planning on heading out to Oakland, California on Thursday of this week!!! Not exactly sure how much internet access I will have over the weekend, so I will try to check in here whenever I get a chance and probably being able to send Twitter Messages out more often!

Lots of earthquakes going on and a lot of earthquakes to come, with the August Full Moon Window running Saturday, Sunday, and through Monday next week! And your old friend The EQ Guy and part-time "Quake Chaser" will be situated right out there in the middle of all of it in the San Francisco Region all three of those days! Just noticed that when I changed the location of my room from 2011. . . that I may now be closer to sea level and might need to worry about that tsunami if it happens!!!

EQ V-Log: San Francisco Outland Festival This Weekend!!! Quake Chase 2014 Frisco??? CLICK Arrow:

Thank-You For Watching!!! EQ Guy

Northern California SHAKING!!! Might Have To Quake Chase August Full Moon-Frisco!!!!!

That was when I discovered by phoning my motel there, that it will also be the weekend of the "Outland Festival" at Gateway Park!!! Link to their website: http://www.sfoutsidelands.com/home/ AND they are already Sold Out, so that part of my trip is pretty much forgotten, unless. . . . . but other than that Saturday Night line-up featuring Tom Petty, I'll just have to get over missing that Great Sounding Music Festival even though I'll likely be Rollerblading right past there at some point on Sunday and practically the same exact moment of the August Full Moon!!! Actual reason I might be headed out that way anyways!

Latest earthquake news just up to press time was the "Dueling" Earthquake Swarms presently going on at BOTH Portola, California and Lakeview, Oregon. Portola is that Northern California Swarm that I have been keeping you up on where I've described it as North of Reno, Nevada near the Stateline Region up that way, and this new Lakeview, Oregon location looks to actually be in Nevada up there just north yet of the Portola epicenter. BIG news here is as I was watching all this unfold, some of you might already have it figured out that there is probably some similarity between the two lists, right? WELL. . . that was when I noticed if there IS any similarity then the last two that had struck just prior to me writing this EQ Blog, were the two on the top of the Portola list. THAT was when I realized they were just a little bigger than the other Portola ones and reasoned immediately that there would probably be a BIGGER one following at Lakeview!!!!! Of course you already know what happened just a few minutes later at, as you can see there given in Central Time as 23:46 with the last two Portola Earthquakes before it given as 23:08, and 23:09 indicating I waited a few minutes there, too, while preparing this EQ Blog, too! Here are both lists as of early Tuesday Central Time:

2.4 67km ESE of Lakeview, Oregon 2014-08-04 23:46:01
1.4 70km ESE of Lakeview, Oregon 2014-08-04 22:46:27
2.3 68km ESE of Lakeview, Oregon 2014-08-04 22:39:11

AND like two more at Portola followed all that, but I will not be keeping these lists up throughout Tuesday unless something major becomes of all this which it sort of looks like it might and Tuesday will be our Day 21 after the landfall of Typhoon Ramassun at Philippines, so there is about to be some major shaking as a result of all that, too!

Doesn't mean California, or Sumatra, but if my Straight Line Theory holds true it should be Afghanistan/Pakistan that is unless that Major Potential Earthquake Energy hits the Indio/Australian Tectonic Plate up around Nepal, then it could strike there!

Be Watching, and Be Prepared, California. . . I might be headed out there!!! EQ Guy

6.9 Richters At Admirality Island, Papua New Guinea!!! MORE Coming!!! UPDATE: 5.3 Banda Aceh, Sumatra!!!

UPDATE: As of 3am Pacific Time on Monday Morning a 5.3 Richters Offshore at Banda Aceh, Indonesia! Keep a watch there!!! SEE USGS@ http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/usb000rzt4#summary NOW, Todays EQ Blog:


Not exactly sure why they seem to want to name this earthquake after the "Federated States of Micronesia" but a very close check of that region for the purpose of locating the epicenter, revealed that it was at or very near the tip of the tiny island of Bipi Island just offshore from Admiralty Island, Papua New Guinea. Here is a link to a location where it names the actual true geological place that I also located by name on a similar Google Earth search: http://tlarremore.wordpress.com/2014/08/03/6-9m-earthquake-event-admiralty-islands-papua-new-guinea/

There has also just been a 3.0 Richters Earthquake 22 miles East of Kingman, Arizona with a couple of felt reports just coming is as I am entering this EQ Blog. Why there are two from Southern California on this felt report, I can only guess there must have also been a tiny earthquake in that region that is being mistaken for the Kingman Earthquake otherwise the reason is unknown, but probably not them feeling this same earthquake! Check out that felt report as of this writing:

CITY.ZIP....STATE.USA...........................................#.....Km
Bullhead City (86442) AZ, United States of America..1....52 km
El Segundo (90245) CA, United States of America....3...458 km
Fort Mohave (86426) AZ, United States of America...1....86 km
Manhattan Beach (90266) CA, USA.........................7...458 km

Also along that line, I had some spare time over the weekend in the hours before stopping by at the McHenry County Fair for the Demo Derby late Sunday and I checked out that felt report from the Sumatra Earthquake of 2004 that I ran the link to on Saturday. A thorough check of all the places on the list at: http://www.eqalert.blogspot.com/2014/08/2004-great-sumatra-earthquake-and.html . . . REVEALED that among a lot of felt reports from England and The UK, as well as the fact that practically every single island all around the world seemed to have felt it, and what I considered very much notable was the fact that there are 42 felt reports from Montreal, Canada!!! Amazing!!! As well as one from the tiny community of Sayabec, also up there in Canada just a hundred or so miles east of Montreal along that same St. Lawrence Channel up that way. I seems as though all of the oceans must have been victims of a lot of shaking as the Sumatra Earthquake unleashed that day and it looks especially like every single island experienced some shaking!!! But, how or why Montreal, Canada. . . the only thing I could figure out is that there had to have been some movement along that waterway that connects directly to the Atlantic in order for Montreal to have shaken like that in concert with all the other islands all around the world! And Montreal 17,000 miles away from the epicenter, too!!!

Just saw on TV where Kingman, Arizona is situated very much in the middle of where they got a lot of rain on Sunday. . . so that likely being connected to earthquakes, I might wonder if Californias chances of earthquakes is also now going up with the one inch of rain per hour reported! (Of Course they DID need that rain, just sayin') Watch California, and we were already watching there pretty much anyways, so. . . finally am wondering now just how much more shaking we should expect after a 6.9 Richters Earthquake out in the Pacific Islands? But, enough to keep watching for a while with Tuesday being Day 21, and Thursday being Day 23 as well as now it looks like Sunday will be the full moon with the August Full Moon Window starting on Saturday at 11:11am Pacific Time and running through Monday. Be Watching and Thank-You Again for Reading!!! EQ Guy

USGS Report on The 9.1 Richters Sumatra 2004 Earthquake!!! WITH Felt Report!!! ALSO: Lots of Small California Earthquakes!

Here is the entire felt report directly from the USGS Website now at Earthquake Central: http://eqalert.blogspot.com/2014/08/2004-great-sumatra-earthquake-and.html

Here is a video I made after that earthquake discussing how I tracked that particular earthquake energy from the landfall of Typhoon Nanmadol at Philippines/Taiwan directly to Indonesia back in the day:


Here's the link to Original USGS Page for 9.1 Richters Sumatra 2004 Earthquake @ http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eqinthenews/2004/us2004slav/#details

There have also as of this writing been a lot of small California Earthquakes such as 1.6 Manhatten Beach, 1.5 Westwood, and 1.6 East L.A. and am not sure if those are that unusual just that they are epicenters in the middle of the population of Los Angeles and the one is also near the home of the recent big water pipe break that you might have heard flooded UCLA!!! As I was writing this EQ Blog a 2.6 Richters struck near Oakland with already one felt report and it will take some time for all those to come in due to the large population at that region of San Francisco. Now seven reports including one from Martinez. I might need to update that one Saturday at some point as they come in and with all that shaking as well as a few in the Running Springs and Redlands areas something could shake California, too!!! I suppose possibly something as big as the MegaThruster, but all that earthquake energy hitting at California would NOT become 8 Richters just the same. . . rather all of 6 or 7 though!

So, Indonesia, Philippines, and Taiwan are right there in the middle of all that is going on and Day 21 will be this coming Tuesday and Day 23 Thursday. Clarifying because I have many followers in the Sumatra, Banda Aceh, Indonesia, and Philippines regions. . . this could strike anywhere! No earthquakes heading directly for any one point and in fact Afghanistan/Pakistan are also in line for this but IS a good time to start considering earthquake preparation.

4.9 Richters Just Struck Aceh, Indonesia!!! 90 Miles Southeast of Banda Aceh!!! WATCH For More!!!

Shocked to see the location of this epicenter and am sure we will be hearing more from this location as far as both the repercussions of this earthquake, as well as possibly still more earthquakes there and other places around this immediate region. There has also just been a 5.6 Richters Earthquake that struck 17 miles from downtown Algiers, Algeria with already a fairly good sized felt report for only happening one hour ago as I am writing but that felt report was already building long before I located it and has even grown since I originally seen it! Mostly felt so far in Algier, with reports coming from two or three other states or provinces of that country and so far only Algieria has felt reports but surely at the rate they are coming in other countries will report.

Let's switch right to this weeks "MegaThruster=Tsunami Podcast!!! CLICK Arrow:


While currently always watching to see where this next big MegaThruster might strike, it occurred to me that Philippines themselves and Taiwan themselves could very well still be the epicenter of this next huge earthquake! And while I do not know exactly where to get all of the latest most updated information about the smaller shakers from those two places, I still do watch for signs just the same! One of the things I will watch for that is usually a sure sign of earthquakes coming is when gas or water starts to leak from pipelines around certain places. Nevermind all the water that just ran out of the Los Angeles Water System and into the UCLA Campus yesterday now the day before at almost exactly the epicenter of all the Sepulveda Pass Earthquakes. . . the even bigger news is 22 people killed and 270 injured when gas leaked at Taiwan and exploded when eventually ignited at some point. Very sorry to hear firemen lost in the explosion mostly due to having been on the scene investigating gas leaks, their job I suppose. Here's a Great Story at CNN about that gas leak and explosion in Taiwan: http://www.cnn.com/2014/07/31/world/asia/taiwan-explosions/index.html?hpt=hp_t2

Continues to be looking like quite a little swarm happening up there at Northern California north of Reno, Nevada along that stateline area. Keeping the list updated @ http://eqalert.blogspot.com/2014/07/swarm-at-portola-california-just-north.html SO, let us continue to also be watching California and our West Coast because they may also get an earthquake before all of the shaking is over!
