Happy New Year 2013!!!

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

More Foreshocks-Indio/Aust. Tectonic Plate! NOW California, too!!!

Phone chimed very early this morning with 3.8 Olancha, California and upon checking this is that very shaky Lone Pine, Coso Junction, California region from the last big California Earthquake which we today know as Offshore San Diego 6.3 Richters. While I want everybody to know there IS a brand new Major California Earthquake coming, I have been hoping Sumatra, Indonesia would come before it! Yesterday Afghanistan had a 5.8 up around the top of the Himalayan Arc and let's keep watching for this to move farther and farther West into Greece, Italy, and beyond! It also occurred to me that if it does keep moving further west. . . Indonesia might become susceptible to some of that movement and those islands start to migrate possibly causing something big there, too! While I had intended Sumatra 2012 to strike and then get on with the upcoming Major California Earthquake, the California Foreshocks are starting to look like it is time for California to start preparing!!! I will now give the magnitude for the late December/January 2013 California Earthquake at 6.0 to 7.5 Richters and reserve the right to update the 7.5 possibly to 7.1 later. The actual end date for the new California Earthquake energy will be something like January 20th and might pass on by the date of the Northridge Earthquake January 17, Eureka 2010 on January 9, and the Haiti Earthquake January 12. . . but those dates are kind of hard to forget while we approach them and possibly pass them by waiting for the next one to strike you know! Finally, I had to dig but FOUND a great Alaska EQ Alert I had sent out back in 2002 as a result of the landfall of Hurricane Lili at Cuba on October 1, 2002 as a CAT-3 with 112 mph winds leaving 48,000 homes damaged and 16,000 that lost roofs!!! Days later on October 23, 2002 a 6.7 and November 3, 2002 a 7.9 Richters earthquake struck the Denali Fault and this was the one I mostly remember for that big truck that fell into the gulch left in the middle of that highway right down the bright yellow centerline! Truck shook the road enough or was just there at the right moment! Yes, some of my long time followers probably remember that once very famous EQ Alert, too! Also Hurricane Lilys landfall later at Louisiana preceded a Great Italy Earthquake, too! Thank-You Again for reading and Be Prepared!!! EQ Guy

Letter To CEPEC/NEPEC on Possible Sumatra 2012 Earthquake

December 27, 2012

To: Name Edited, USGS/NEPEC, National Earthquake Prediction Evaluation Council, and Name Edited, USGS/CEPEC, California Earthquake Prediction Evaluation Council

From: EQ Guy (Name Edited)

Hello,
Hope you had a good Christmas Name Edited, and Name Edited! Today I reasoned that it was necessary to send along this note to the Councils mostly due to the fact that I have tracked a fairly large amount of earthquake energy to the Sumatra, Indonesia region. While none of these areas fall under the jurisdiction of either the California, or National Councils it has the potential to be a large enough earthquake that I thought a short letter to you both containing the information that I presently have collected and present it for the record.
As you may know I routinely track what I like to call "Earthquake Energy" or "Potential Earthquake Energy" after the landfall of huge windstorms, in this case we are talking about the landfall of Super Typhoon Bopha at the Philippines on December 3, 2012. I checked the direction this big windstorm was heading as it crossed the Southern Philippines and found this line to travel to the tectonic plate boundary around the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. . . only more recently searching the region with a magnifying glass to find some town names and the very first town name I discovered as a result of that search was Banda Aceh! As I continued looking I found Phuket Island. I want to now add that I am presently looking at Tropical Depression Wukong which is crossing along that exact route and will strike near Sumatra in the coming hours. While the actual existence of this other big windstorm doesn't really say anything on the surface, I want to state here that there has been ONE such occasion on my watch where I have tracked earthquake energy along a line and while doing so spotted a similar entity which actually whether or not connected, WAS the earthquake when the entity arrived at the tectonic plate boundary! This amounts to nothing more than an observation and I know that when you add a few fireballs that have also mysteriously crossed skies along these routes, ALSO do not in and of themselves have any meaning. So, we will watch if Wukong has any effect on the seismic situation at around Sumatra at the time it makes contact there like today or tomorrow. In terms of electrical energy which the earth having North and South Poles and a field of some sort HAS. . . I suppose you won't mind if I make a wild guess that Wukong contains a field of energy from the Pacific and raises havoc when it contacts the Indian Ocean similar to an arc across phases in the electrical sense. Again that is reaching, I know! There IS a theory that energy arcs from the atmosphere to the athenosphere or the ground whichever, but it is beyond what I know on that subject.
The Full Moon might even be coming around the other side of the world as I am writing and while I have recently discovered that small bump in earthquake activity with the full and new moons, I need to also add today that the recent New Moon turned out to be the exact night of the recent Off Shore San Diego 6.3 Richters Earthquake with a grand total of 860 "Felt Reports" from San Diego alone! There was also last years Coos Bay Earthquake that fell on the exact night of the October 2011 full moon with practically nothing to compare to that one since! In that research I also seem to have discovered that 7 and 8 days before and after full and new moons has next to NO earthquakes but have no explanation for why. So while there is a lot of earthquake energy currently heading for Sumatra, Indonesia the full moon may play a part in this upcoming earthquake in just the coming hours and days, but I do not truly believe the full moon to guarantee the release of major earthquake energies, rather I will just note that as this earthquake gets here, I have discovered that it will bump up the chance of this earthquake striking on the date of the full moon just a notch.
There have also been some signs of the movement of the Indian Ocean/Australian Tectonic Plate which could mean that rather than shaking as the earthquake energy hits Sumatra. . . this earthquake energy could push on this tectonic plate and has already caused a fairly large series of 5 Magnitude earthquakes around the perimeter at Pakistan, Black Sea, Myanmar, and several around Indonesia as well as at least one so far near Macquarie Island. So, therefore knowing this will be a major earthquake of 7.7 to 9.0 Richters for Sumatra, I want to also say that Greece, Italy, or Nepal could get the brunt of this tectonic plate moving in their direction as well as I suppose places like Spain, Portugal, and France along with whomever else is situated over that way where I am not familiar with the seismology. Range up that way might be 6.7 to 8.1 Richters. Finally, when one of these spots along the tectonic plate boundaries DOES shake, it will probably also mean this tectonic plate will then rattle around considerably shaking places like New Zealand and possibly even kicking the Pacific Plate, Japan, or Alaska. While this would mean our West Coast, I can't imagine there being much earthquake energy left over by time it would shake the Pacific Plate. Just that this line did also cross through Lima, Peru and there could yet be a major earthquake at or very near that South American Coast in the coming days, or coinciding with the full moon.

In the matter of the State of California, I must add that yesterday there was about a 3.8 Richters earthquake near Parkfield, California and so I checked past Parkfield Earthquakes and found at least two that had struck in February and March. Those were 1881, 1901, and 1922, and upon a quick check suspecting severe winter conditions might have preceded these, I found the January 27-28, 1922 Severe Washington, DC Blizzard that collapsed the roof of the Knickerbocker Theater killing 98 people when that region received between 2 and 3 feet of snow with drifts reported at 16 feet according to Wikipedia at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knickerbocker_Storm The snowfall amounts now being reported around the eastern half of the United States and apparently including parts of Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Texas, seem to be getting around a foot of snow with some getting even more up towards Pennsylvania. I discovered severe winter conditions to have preceded the Northridge Earthquake and a further search revealed many of what I call snowfall resultants which include Great Alaska, and New Madrid Earthquakes while also having a couple of my own very accurate "Official Predictions" on that subject with one preceding the Eureka 2010 Earthquake and days later the Haiti Earthquake. You can still view that Official Prediction at: http://earthquakealert.blogspot.com/2009/12/official-prediction-california-just.html The final date I gave in that banner headline was January 12, 2010 and that Eureka Earthquake struck on January 9, 2010 while in the final hours of that Official Prediction on January 12, 2010 at 4 in the afternoon the Haiti Earthquake struck. BOTH are now what I call the result of "Weight on the Tectonic Plate" and possibly similar to the conditions we might now be facing all across the U.S. and possibly another Northridge, Paso Robles, or Parkfield Earthquake in the coming days, and weeks. December 2003 was ALSO a fairly severe winter and in the course of that month I sent via E-Mail my very first EQ Alert saying a major earthquake could strike California in the coming days. . . and the Paso Robles Earthquake struck on December 23, 2003. I will probably submit a more formal submission on this subject at a later date, since today I am most concerned with the Banda Aceh situation.
In summation, there probably IS a large amount of earthquake energy roaming the Indian Ocean right at this moment which seems to be producing a number of 5 Magnitude earthquakes and there WILL BE a major earthquake following all the earthquake energy generated by the landfall of Super Typhoon Bopha at the Philippines. I just thought I should write you both today since you would want to know about this upcoming major earthquake!
Thank-You Again for accepting my earthquake writing and here's wishing you a great holidays season!!!!!

Sincerely,
Les Brown

We Have Movement of Indian Ocean Tectonic Plate!!! Major Shaker Any Moment!!!

Hope everybody is having a Great Christmas Day! But I just happened to notice we have been getting more and more shakers that all seem to be around 5 Richters all around the top of the Indian Ocean Tectonic Plate and exactly as I have been watching for including a Macquarie Island earthquake that indicates it is moving! Just in the recent hours there have been two Black Sea Earthquakes, Xinjiang, Pakistan, and several Sumatra, and Indonesia "Foreshocks"! These could be Sumatra ready for a major shaker. . . and they could be pushing this entire tectonic plate over into Greece, Italy, and etc. One of these fine places around this tectonic plate will be getting some of this major earthquake energy possibly at any moment and remember the range I gave as 7.7 to 9.0 Richters! Then New Zealand is out there, yet, too at the bottom of the plate. It is looking like a lot of snow is possible between Indianapolis, Cleveland, and Buffalo meaning the next Northridge/Paso Robles Earthquake might be in our future so be watching immediately for some foreshocks around California, too! Enjoy the rest of your Christmas, Everybody!!! EQ Guy

Happy Holidays! It's Earthquake Season!!!

Happy Holidays Everybody! Thought I should write due to Holidays I might miss tomorrow and need to update today with a lot of stuff happening! When I wrote yesterday about Paso Robles Earthquake being December 23, 2003. . . I did NOT even notice it actually WAS December 23!!! So here it is a Minor Earthquake Season sort of thing happening! Yes, not only was the Paso Robles, California Earthquake yesterday, but the Bam, Iran Earthquake was on the 24th or today also 2003 and the anniversary of the Great Sumatra Earthquake and Tsunami of 2004 will be tomorrow! Finally, it was mentioned on the weather somewhere that it is the worst winter conditions since 2009. . . which just so happened to be the exact winter conditions that preceded the Haiti Earthquake! Those winter conditions back in December of 2009 led to me writing and filing this Official Prediction:
http://earthquakealert.blogspot.com/2009/12/official-prediction-california-just.html . . . . . AND the Eureka 2010 Earthquake struck on January 9, 2010 and you will notice the date I give for all this to happen by was January 12, 2010 the date when at 4 in the afternoon the Haiti Earthquake struck! I submit for your approval that all of this earthquake energy was the movement of the North American Tectonic Plate and that we might be now facing those same conditions in the coming days, but let's first wait and see what this next winter storm is going to do! It is Earthquake Season! Happy Holidays!!! EQ Guy

New Earthquake Heading for California? 3.8 Hits Lake Nacimiento!

Looks like the NEXT Major Earthquake just could be heading for California again as of this morning there was a 3.8 Richters earthquake near Lake Nacimiento very near the Epicenter of the 2003 Paso Robles Earthquake which also just so happened to have occurred following severe winter conditions. It's possible, although not all over yet, that the newest severe winter conditions might just be taking place all over America right this moment. I will have to continue watching the snowfall amounts and of course have updates along the way and possibly file a little something in the format of a "prediction" later on. For now I just want to say that Northridge was preceded by 2 feet of snow all across our country, sub-zero temperatures, and 55 mph winds. Upon a check of other what I sometimes like to call "January Earthquakes" I found the Great Alaska earthquake at which time the front page of my local paper was the huge blizzard, and more of these I will write about in the coming days. This ultimately led to the severe winter weather of December 2003 when I wrote my very first Severe Winter Conditions EQ Alert for California and the now great Paso Robles Earthquake struck California on December 23, 2003!!! Sumatra, Indonesia is also coming at around 8.5 Richters and possibly New Zealand, too, 7? EQ Guy

End Of The World. . . For Somebody??? All of Us? Final EQ Blog?

Also the shortest day of the year today, and first day of spring, and supposedly although I can't say I've heard the scientific explanation for the legend that you can balance an egg on end today!!! Yes, it is December 21, 2012!!! The long-awaited date that according to me, there just might be an enormous earthquake OR volcanic eruption such as the one that brought about a year or several years with no summer! There are some scientific circles that have also stated that there seems to be such a thing as a volcano that can wipe out all traces of life all across the Planet Earth, too! Called a "Cataclysm" or Earth Wide Cataclysm due to the fact that in past ones there have only been one or two species that made it across the end of the world to exist today! One was a frog, one a leopard, and like 90% of the species in the oceans have crossed the Cataclysm in the past and most likely a few of them will cross the next one. . . whether it will be yet today is as of yet unknown as of 10:35am CST. It also seems like the mass we know as The Milky Way was once a solid planet that once orbited out one or two distant planets from the Earth and just my opinion that it might have ALSO met its proverbial December 21, 2012 and suffered a huge enough earthquake that it broke all apart and is now an enormous field of meteorites, or meteors as my spell check just reminded me! Is this what is going to happen to us yet today??? So, all that aside, we will watch very closely all day today for that major earthquake that IS HEADED for Sumatra, Indonesia, Banda Aceh, and Phuket and continue to watch a couple additional days if it hasn't ended or occurred rather by the end of today! Add New Zealand and Nepal and perhaps Lake Tanganyika just incase the Indian Ocean/Australian Tectonic Plate starts moving, too! And if the world does not end today. . . then I will have an update in the coming days! Thank-You for reading and I have enjoyed sharing my experiences here on Planet Earth with you all!!! Sincerely, EQ Guy

Sumatra 2012 Due Any Minute!!! 7.7 to 9.0 Richters!!!

The landfall of Super Typhoon Bopha was December 2, 2012 and it will be Day 17 today and Day 18 tomorrow or Wednesday and Thursday this week. The Great Sumatra Earthquake and Tsunami struck on Day 23 after the landfall of Super Typhoon Nanmadol and Day 23 will fall on Dec. 25. We should watch for that all important date of December 21, 2012 for perhaps a HUGE VOLCANO letting loose and bringing about the potential end of the world. . . but it seems a little more likely it will just be the biggest major earthquake of recent times with the Great Sumatra Earthquake of 2004 now being almost 10 years ago! Note that there are some notably HUGE volcanoes over around Sumatra such as Mount Krakatou which I think has proven it can do it. A big enough volcano can let so much gas, lava, and ash into the air that the sky darkens and possibly for a long, long time! But let's just watch that area for a big earthquake, and the immediate vicinity such as maybe Japan, too! This Major Earthquake is only hours from striking!!! EQ Guy

ALL CLEAR LOMPOC, CALIFORNIA!!!??? NOW KEEP WATCHING BANDA ACEH!!!

I am writing today to say it is probably the conclusion of my Official Prediction for Lompoc, California. Looks like we have had quite a lot of Major Earthquake energy out California way including one that actually struck Lompoc! On the night of the New Moon at 2 O’Clock the following morning there was a now very famous 6.3 Richters Earthquake that struck at Offshore San Diego and this will now mark Day 44 after the landfall of Hurricane Sandy at New Jersey. After watching on the date of the Hector Mines Earthquake which came on December 12, 2012 at 1:46am or around Day 43. I’m not worried about now extending my usual number of days one day since Hurricane Bret struck at Texas/Mexico and Hurricane Sandys earthquake energy crossed the entire country. I had been 3 for 3 considering those 3 previous huge windstorms that ALL preceded Major California Earthquakes and now 4!!! Now including Hurricane Sandy-Offshore San Diego Earthquake of December 14, 2012 at around 2am with 860 “Felt Reports” coming from just San Diego alone!!! Along with an enormous number of reports coming from basically EVERYWHERE else in mostly the Southern California region. That NEW MOON was on Thursday, December 13, 2012 with several mentions up to that date, AND with the Offshore San Diego Earthquake striking at around 2am the next morning which is still pretty much the night of the New Moon, right? Therefore, I want to conclude here that California should probably be relieved of pretty much ALL of their major earthquake energy until further notice! Of course there is always the chance something might strike and the earthquake energy from Tropical Cyclone Evan at Samoa, and Typhoon Bopha at the Philippines is still out there but not heading for California, there will still possibly be the ever so slight chance of something on our West Coast but I do not believe we could get those earthquakes per se. Finally, I see just today Japan is starting to get some 5 Richters earthquakes but while the current new EQ Alert is for Sumatra, the 2011 alert for Sumatra also included Japan and Japan became the epicenter. I do not believe this earthquake energy will be moving into Japan, but rather it looks like Japan might be shaking as a result of all that huge earthquake energy moving in the direction of Sumatra, and Indonesia. Just keep in mind that I am NOT a seismologist and it will ALWAYS be possible Japan could suffer a major aftershock of that huge Honshu 2011 Earthquake. EQ Guy

Epicenter of 2004 Sumatra Earthquake and Tsunami? 7.7 to 9.0 Richters?

As the upcoming Sumatra Earthquake of 2012 approaches I searched very closely over this weekend to see the exact names of towns and islands just to the north of the Island of Sumatra and found the town of Banda Aceh to be situated at the very northern tip of that island that is positioned almost exactly at the tectonic plate boundary between the Pacific and Indio Tectonic Plates and possibly a tiny microplate or two out in that islands region, too. Therefore it sort of looks like while this new major earthquake energy is passing directly through that plate boundary, there could be any number of different fault lines that might be affected by this 7.7 to 9.0 Richters of earthquake energy. Probably the results being pretty much the same no matter which fault line it crosses, though! I just finished viewing the weather satellite of Tropical Cyclone Evan crossing what appeared to be Fiji and turning south so there could now be any number of smaller shakers out in the Pacific Islands region but those should only be so large with 7 being big. Last week Evan made landfall at Samoa and that earthquake energy should strike around Mexico City soon at around 6.5 to 6.9 and I want to continue watching California through Friday although there is presently not much shaking there and hopefully that earthquake has now all passed! EQ Guy

Next Major Earthquake: Band Aceh, Phuket, Great Nicobar Island at any moment!?

Just checked the globe for the exact names of the towns that might be affected by the next upcoming major earthquake and with the magnifying glass on the globe and maps found Banda Aceh!!! Then just across the bay on the shores of Malaysia there I found the name of Phuket! Just to the north of Banda Aceh and the point where the earthquake energy will cross onto the Indian Ocean Tectonic Plate I located the Great Nicobar Island and Sukakarya with the Andaman and Nicobar Islands just to the north. Off towards Lima I noticed Palau and Kiribati Islands and I suppose Hawaii just north and New Zealand just south. We may want to watch Los Angeles, California, and Frisco through that December 21, 2012 date, but all of these towns and islands around that upcoming Sumatra, Indonesia region where the new earthquake energy is heading will be very important into our future, too!!! This is a huge earthquake heading for that region and it seems fairly certain the major earthquake will strike there as opposed to pushing on that tectonic plate and causing major seismic activity up around the Himilayan Arc or Italy, Greece, and etc. That earthquake will be in the 7.7 to 9.0 Range and that magnitude range seems to be staying the same! Keep Watching California even though they have now had plenty of earthquakes. . . and there is a big one that is going to strike around Banda Aceh, and Phuket very soon! Thank-You Again for reading!!! Very Sorry For My Friends In Connecticut, God Bless Them!!! EQ Guy

6.3 Richters Earthquake Strikes 170 Miles WSW Offshore From San Diego

Someday I hope everybody will know the New Moon DOES seem to have just a slightly higher chance of producing a Major Earthquake since this one that rang my phone at around 4 am Central Time was a 6.3 with felt reports coming from as far away as Vegas!!! One of these fine days I'm thinking the general public should be made aware that we pretty much knew there was an earthquake coming at right about that time anyways, and I want to share the information. . . in the future! Could have been much worse and this event might not be over since aftershocks could strike anywhere and be even somewhat bigger yet! 678 Folks reported from San Diego, 93 from Los Angeles, 54 from Huntington Beach, 4 each from Beverly Hills and Malibu, 4 from Santa Barbara and 1 each from Lompoc and Vegas! There could be more earthquakes coming so keep watching out! Tropical Cyclone Evan made landfall at Samoa like yesterday with 100 mph winds with the energy from that on a line for Mexico but it SEEMS a bit too early for that yet? There will be more from that one later anyways and we will continue to watch Sumatra and Lima for a really big shaker still to come with that December 21, 2012 also in our future and getting closer!!! EQ Guy

NEW MOON!!! California 7.1, or Japan/Sumatra 7.7???

Just saying that since Japan seems to be the place where all of the recent earthquake energy IS shaking, I suppose the NEW MOON could now bring on the next really big one. There was just a 3.4 at Northern California and there have been one or two other 3 Richters range shakers in the recent days including one or two 4's. Traditionally I haven't used these "Foreshocks" to predict, but mostly due to the fact that they just so happen to coincide with a large source of potential earthquake energy possibly waiting to shake California. . . I'm saying keep watching! And that the New Moon that runs through the next 24 hours or so, something Major could shake!!! Los Angeles? Frisco? Lompoc? Hawaii? Japan? Lima? Sumatra? Let's just watch very close because it is almost a SURE THING that somebody will be shaking at any moment from the NEW MOON! It is only midnight my time, but the New Moon is already starting somewhere so start watching immediately!!! EQ Guy
