Exact Moment of Full Moon Happens Around Noon On Friday Pacific Time!!! Start Watching For Some Major Shaking!!! Part of World Will See Eclipse!!! NOW You Can See "Earthquake Minute"!!!

Here's This Weeks Lots of Big Windstorms "Earthquake Minute"!!! CLICK Arrow: Watch Big Windstorms "Earthquake Minute" at YouTube@ https://youtu.be/RR0ghvaDUfM The Transcript Is at: http://earthquakealert3.blogspot.com/2016/09/lots-of-big-windstorms-earthquake.html NOW Fridays EQ Blog:

Exact Moment of the September Full Moon is Friday September 16, at 19:08 UTC, or 2:08pm Central or 8 Minutes after 12-Noon Pacific Time on Friday and while there hasn't been all that much major shaking leading up to that exact moment, we'll always have to watch because the Full Moon Window will keep on a running well into Saturday and there could yet be some Major Shaking, plus with so many alerts now heading just about everywhere all around the world. . . we'll need to keep right on a watching well beyond this weekends full moon event!!!

Just a couple Earthquake Events that could be connected to that upcoming Full Moon because this seems like a lot of earthquakes to all strike like in the 24 Hour period leading up to it:

4.2 10km NE of Aratoca, Colombia 2016-09-15 21:37
4.5 6km S of La Libertad, Guatemala 2016-09-15 19:30
4.4 54km ESE of Iquique, Chile 2016-09-15 10:37
4.5 26km S of Canete, Chile 2016-09-15 10:31
5.1 30km ENE of Palomares, Mexico 2016-09-15 08:46
4.3 19km NNE of Nagarote, Nicaragua 2016-09-15 02:45
4.4 23km NNE of Nagarote, Nicaragua 2016-09-15 02:14
4.6 2km W of Tabalosos, Peru 2016-09-15 01:42
5.4 12km NNE of La Paz Centro, Nicaragua 2016-09-15 00:57

Thought this was also going to be something because it's yet another unlikely place for this caliber of shaking, but we will have to see if it continues beyond exact moment and what will happen up around this Point Concepcion-Vandenberg Region of California:

1.6 20km SSE of Solvang, CA 2016-09-15 03:22
1.3 25km WSW of Maricopa, CA 2016-09-14 18:08
1.3 10km NW of Goleta, CA 2016-09-14 16:00
1.8 5km S of Los Alamos, CA 2016-09-14 15:37

Heard that there will also be an Eclipse associated with the full moon tonight, but that it will be best viewed from like the other side of the planet if your perspective is from North America we'll possibly notice a slight darkening along one corner of the moon from something like the "PreUmbra". . . sorry I don't have all those moon terms mastered! Be watching this weekend because things could be shaking!!!

Have a Good-Weekend Everybody!!! EQ Guy

Full Moon Window Will Begin at Around Noon Pacific Time on Thursday!!! Still More Big Typhoons Making Landfall!!! Great Full Moon Story, Too!!! ALSO: Banda Aceh Is Shaking!!!!!

Yet another big landfall of yet another Super Typhoon is now adding to all the shaking that's going on all around the world! It is right now starting to look like so many earthquakes coming that it is one of those times when it is getting very difficult to track all of this and we'll mostly just have to start just watching for earthquakes to see where they strike:

5.0 - 198km SW of Port Blair, India
2016-09-15 02:30

Nearby Places:
Port Blair, India, 198.8 km (123.5 mi) SW, Population: 112,050
Sabang, Indonesia, 623.5 km (387.4 mi) NW, Population: 24,519
Banda Aceh, Indonesia, 405.5 Miles NW, Population: 250,757

Felt Report: City, Region, Country......................#.....Km
Port Blair, Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India...1...201 km

Exact Moment of the September Full Moon is Friday September 16, at 19:08 UTC, or 14:00 Central or Noon Pacific Time on Friday. . . . . Therefore the Full Moon Window will begin on Thursday at around those same times, although it looks more like about eight minutes after the times I gave due to that exact time being 19:08 Universal time, there is that :08 there which means minutes after the hour to be exact! Universal Time is also Grenwich Mean Time or pretty much just the time in England, so I subtract 5 hours for Central Time while it's still Daylight Savings Time and it'll be subtract 6 hours when we turn the clocks back whenever we do that. Subtract 7 hours or 2 additional hours from Central Time for Pacific Time.

Here's the North Korean Nuclear "Earthquake Minute" from Friday, CLICK Arrow: You can see North Korea Nuke Test "Earthquake Minute" at YouTube@ https://youtu.be/6ghQzAzaSEk Transcript is at: http://earthquakealert3.blogspot.com/2016/09/north-korea-nuclear-earthquake-minute.html

A reader sent me a GREAT STORY about how the Full Moon now seems to have been scientifically connected to earthquakes!!! You'll have to see the story for yourself to beleive it!!! Unless you've already been following me, then you might already have some idea what that's all about!!! Here's the link to that Full Moon Story@ http://www.adn.com/nation-world/2016/09/13/major-earthquakes-might-be-caused-by-the-moon/

Here's that 6.0 that struck late on yesterday and only got a brief mention in yesterdays EQ Blog, now with quite a few aftershocks including that town in Ecuador where that big one shook earlier this year! We were right about those being foreshocks then. . . could these all be foreshocks again, now? Also it was reported felt in Bogata, so who knows where this next big one might strike. . . if these are foreshocks:

4.7 12km ESE of Muisne, Ecuador 2016-09-14 11:50
4.8 30km NE of Mutata, Colombia 2016-09-14 10:59
4.7 30km ENE of Mutata, Colombia 2016-09-14 07:02
4.9 31km ENE of Mutata, Colombia 2016-09-14 01:46
6.0 33km ENE of Mutata, Colombia 2016-09-13 20:58

So, unknown amounts of Major Earthquakes heading more or less everywhere on the planet, still ANOTHER Major possible Super Typhoon heading directly for Japan. . . AGAIN!!! And now the September Full Moon Window starts at around noon today!!! Be Watching because there is A LOT that could happen!!! And be prepared!!! EQ Guy

2.2 Richters Earthquake Struck Near Escondido, California!!! Time To Take A Look At The Several Different Scales Used To Rate The Size Of Earthquakes!!!

That was when my phone rang with yet another Major Earthquake, however I had just gotten home from work and by the time I got to the computer this big 2.2 Richters Earthquake just to the south of Escondido came right up and basically just filled the entire area on the map where I generally check to see if there had been any earthquakes! Always wanting to figure out WHERE the epicenter of the earthquake that destroyed Mission Capistrano. . . could a big earthquake in the Escondido Region be the answer? Here's that 2.2:

2.2 - 6km S of Escondido, CA
2016-09-13 15:54pm Pacific Time on Tuesday

Nearby Places:
3.7 Miles S of Escondido, CA
7.5 Miles SE of San Marcos, CA
7.5 Miles NNW of Poway, CA
7.5 Miles ENE of Rancho Santa Fe, CA
7.5 Miles WSW of San Pasqual, CA

Felt Report: City, State, Zip, USA...........................#.....Km
Escondido, CA 92025 United States of America.......8.....14 km
Escondido, CA 92029 United States of America.......4.....14 km
Poway, CA 92064 United States of America...........3.....17 km
Escondido, CA 92027 United States of America.......6.....18 km
Escondido, CA 92026 United States of America.......3.....21 km
Carlsbad, CA 92008 United States of America........1.....27 km
Dana Point, CA 92629 United States of America......1.....75 km
Laguna Niguel, CA 92677 United States of America...1.....78 km

Now here's that story I promised about how big of a Major Earthquake we could be looking at here. Normally we are accustomed to hearing all about 6, 7, and the occasional 8 Magnitude Earthquakes that strike around the world. . . of course along with a steady supply of 4 or 5 Magnitude ones and the occasional smaller one that strikes somewhere and for whatever reason makes headlines. Smaller ones also routinely account for a lot of aftershocks of Major Earthquakes, too. Additionally there's a slight difference between a Richters Scale and a Magnitude Scale and at least one other scale used to routinely give the size of an earthquake and note that some other countries use yet other scales that sometimes account for the difference in a published size of an earthquake. For my sake I run Richter Scale and Magnitude Scale as more or less interchangeable here although I've heard it said that the Richter Scale is mostly the one current technology endorses for their most modern readings. . . or something like that. Or something like THIS:
So you might notice the Mercali Scale goes all the way up to the 12 Range and if I have ever said there was ever a possibility of an earthquake as big as a 11, or 12. . . then it appears I was talking about that scale, although on other occasions I've heard it said that the Richter Scale does NOT necessarily stop at 10, either.

Here's a great story/comment section with some information about the 10, 11, and 12 Richters Earthquakes: https://forum.cosmoquest.org/showthread.php?47919-How-high-can-the-Richter-scale-go

So much shaking continues in Oklahoma that I had to edit out a lot of smaller earthquakes to get this here list from the last 24 hours to fit inside todays EQ Blog!!!

2.9 9km WSW of Medford, Oklahoma 2016-09-13 12:45:18
2.5 22km NW of Medford, Oklahoma 2016-09-13 12:38:13

2.5 5km SE of Chickasha, Oklahoma 2016-09-12 17:30:53

Finally, I know we talked a lot about that earthquake that MIGHT strike during the Monday Night game, and I suppose luckily it struck like an hour or two AFTER the game, but anyways here's the felt report and it looks like there were felt reports from Santa Clara, the location of the stadium and like I recall saying somewhere the stadium probably won't be the epicenter and it wasn't: http://eqalert.blogspot.com/2016/09/35-richters-earthquake-struck-on.html

There was also a 5.2 Richters Earthquake that struck about 80 miles from Tokyo on Tuesday and there were something like 35 felt reports from that city. How that other story ended was the one that rang my phone with the text message was a 5.9 Richters Northern Columbia Earthquake 87 Miles North of Medellin, Columbia and just now checking looks to have been UPGRADED to a 6.0 Richters!!! Watch for More Big Earthquakes, they're striking everywhere!!! EQ Guy

3.5 Richters Earthquake Struck Along The Hayward Fault Line Near Oakland!!! Just In The Hours Immediately Following That Monday Night Game In Santa Clara, California!!!

You might remember yesterdays EQ Blog and that discussion about the Monday Night Football Game playing up there around the San Francisco Bay Area in Santa Clara to be exact. Well aside from the 49ers win at the expense of a L.A. Rams loss. . . we managed to get that whole game out of the way before anything shook as far as the geology was concerned! That was until in the hours AFTER that game I was just about to shut off the TV and still in the chair upstairs very much watching something and PHONE RANG LOUDLY!!! Had no idea at all whatsoever about what it was going to be? Generally an earthquake that makes the minimum for a text message to go out or 5.5 somewhere around the world. . . and by way of another service anything over a 3.5 striking California. Well, naturally I was thinking Pacific Islands 5.5 when imagine my surprise when I opened my Flip-Phone to see Piedmont, California!!! Only took a fraction of a second to know I'd need to find out where Piedmont was and here it is!!! Very near Oakland and apparently ON the Hayward Fault!!! Felt as far south as Santa Clara although an hour or so after the end of the game there, and one report from Santa Barbara! You may now check out that felt report yourself followed by the USGS Report, here's the felt report@ http://eqalert.blogspot.com/2016/09/35-richters-earthquake-struck-on.html

3.5 - 3km ESE of Piedmont, California
2016-09-13 07:50:22 UTC 37.807°N 122.197°W 4.8 km depth

Nearby Places

Alameda, California 6.0 km (3.7 mi) NE
Berkeley, California 10.0 km (6.2 mi) SE
San Francisco, California 20.0 km (12.4 mi) E

1.6 3km ESE of Piedmont, California 2016-09-13 13:42 (UTC)
3.5 3km ESE of Piedmont, California 2016-09-13 07:50 (UTC)
1.4 3km NNE of San Leandro, California 2016-09-13 00:29 (UTC)

Prior to that big game starting on Monday, this here was the other big earthquake news since as you can see the epicenter was only a few miles from Los Gatos and Cupertino, although the list of nearby places does not give San Jose or Santa Clara you can take my word for it they are both right in there within just a few miles as well:

2.2 - 1km WSW of Saratoga, California
2016-09-12 11:28:45 UTC 37.261°N 122.038°W 4.2 km depth

Not sure if this here New Edition of Pacifica "Earthquake Minute" has hit the airwaves in S.F. and L.A., but here's the transcript from it since it's a recorded version anyways, and you'll be up-to-date! This is the link to the Pacifica "EQ Min" that may NOT be out yet, so. . .@ http://earthquakealert3.blogspot.com/2016/09/north-korea-nuke-test-pacifica.html

Turkey was very much along the line of Potential Earthquake Energy from landfall of Hurricane Hermine at Florida, and they generally only shake where there's an alert for them too!!! Check this out:

4.3 11km WSW of Akhisar, Turkey, 2016-09-12 09:29 UTC
4.5 5km W of Akhisar, Turkey 2016-09-12 08:26 UTC

Biggest thing that was on my mind the whole time as those two California teams vied out there on the feild along the San Francisco Bay there was not which team would begin the season with a LOSS on their record. . . it was if this was going to be that 8 or 9 Richters Major Earthquake we're watching for around the Pacific and how close that stadium would be to the EPICENTER!!! Well, it's now past and a 3.5 wasn't really too bad of a guess, although some might consider a 3.5 garden variety. . . when they strike ON the Hayward Fault it tells others that there's yet that BIG ONE Coming!!!!! Be Prepared!!! EQ Guy

BIG 5.8 Richters Earthquake Has NOW Struck At SOUTH Korea!!!!! It Was Preceded By a 5.1, Too!!! And WATCH For a Monday Night Football Earthquake, Too!!! L.A. Rams Versus San Francisco 49ers!!!

There turned out to have been TWO earthquakes and the news report, a link appears later, says the first one struck an Elementary School although this was at 8:30pm at night, and a TV fell on an elderly lady who was probably watching TV at that late hour. Sorry to report that this looks very much like an early result of NORTH Korea Nuke Testing!!! Todays EQ Blog has several more stories about such out of the way places now starting to shake!!! Watch because this could be leading to a 10, 11, or 12 Magnitude MAJOR EARTHQUAKE. . . if there is such a thing!!! That says Big Tsunami, too, in case you didn't read that into it!!!

Felt Report from the South Korea Earthquake is in and contains Japan and North Korea, too! Check it out NOW at Earthquake Central@ http://eqalert.blogspot.com/2016/09/54-richters-earthquake-has-now-struck.html

Here's those two followed by the USGS Report on the bigger one with the times given in Central Time:

5.4 8km S of Kyonju, South Korea, 2016-09-12 6:32am Central Time USA
4.9 14km SW of Kyonju, South Korea, 2016-09-12 5:44am Central Time, USA

USGS Report:

5.4 - 8km S of Kyonju, South Korea

Here's more reading on that 5.8 or 5.4 South Korea Earthquake from "Korea Times" @ http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/nation/2016/09/116_214014.html

When I heard there had been a big earthquake in Tanzania, I knew we were going to now be expecting things to be shaking at a lot of the oddest corners of the world!!! Occasionally I have observed that the tectonic plates do not always move in so predictable of a way that as may be the case with this situation and some of the more unusual locations can then become the epicenters!!! There was even a report of a lot of damage and 11 dead in the Tanzania Region with this earthquake! Here's the Felt Report@ http://eqalert.blogspot.com/2016/09/60-richters-or-thereabouts-because.html

Over the weekend there had also been a 4.2 Richters Earthquake just to the East of Vancouver, Canada, Here's the felt report from Vancouver and a lot of the State of Washington, too@ http://eqalert.blogspot.com/2016/09/42-richters-earthquake-struck-west-of.html

This is a follow up to a string of earthquakes that began with that now upgraded Big Oklahoma Earthquake, although now somewhat less important, this was still a VERY BIG Earthquake for this region as you can see by the "Nearby Places". While there was a felt report accompanying this USGS Report at one time, let's just assume it was a very large portion of that New Madrid Region there, since Tiptonville is just across the Mississippi River from New Madrid perhaps to the South of there a ways:

3.5 - 10km NNW of Tiptonville, Tennessee
2016-09-09 13:45:37 UTC 36.456°N 89.534°W 10.7 km depth

Nearby Places:
Point Pleasant, Missouri, 3.7 km (2.3 mi) E, Population: 0
Union City, Tennessee, 42.9 km (26.7 mi) W, Population: 10,895
29.2 Miles South of Sikeston, Missouri, Population: 16,318
Dyersburg, Tennessee, 48.6 km (30.2 mi) NNW, Population: 17,145
Nashville, Tennessee, 249.0 km (154.7 mi) W, Population: 530,852

Time to run a link to this story about the next BIGGEST OCEAN SHIP!!! You don't need me to tell you such things are always likely to shake up those tectonic plates once they start traveling especially around the world!!! It's called "Man Made Earthquakes"!!! Here's that Big Ship Story!!! @ http://www.cnbc.com/2016/09/03/worlds-biggest-cruise-ship-sets-sail-features-augmented-reality-and-cirque-du-soleil.html

This WAS originally my "Big Story" for Monday. . . and that's the fact that L.A. Rams play San Francisco 49ers at Santa Clara TONIGHT on Monday Night Football!!! However, the reason you're reading it here now is not so much to do with the spirit of competition there, as it is the fact that whenever such huge events as Los Angeles versus San Francisco take place under such a huge "EQ Alert" for that region as currently exists it tends to step up the "Earthquake Risk". In this case an already huge Pacific Wide Major Earthquake Watch along with 2 EQ Alerts for that California Region and ONE BIG Football Game Tonight!!! This was the case on December 22, 2003 when there was a big game at Oakland Stadium@ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Monday_Night_Football_results_(1990%E2%80%932009)#2003_NFL_season AND the Paso Robles Earthquake struck at around 11am that SAME DAY!!! @ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2003_San_Simeon_earthquake With the major difference being TODAY we're talking North Korea Nuke Test. . . in 2003 I seem to recall it was John Madden walking around in Downtown San Francisco!!! And he reported having felt that earthquake, too!!! So be watching because we know it could happen again!!!

I noticed there has also been a fairly big Easter Island Region Earthquake which you'll find generally means something is about to come a shaking ACROSS the Pacific!!! Although having thought about it. . . this was more like a 5.4 and while that's similar to the North and now South Korea Shakers, it could still be a disguise for an 8 or 9 Richters Earthquake crossing the Pacific!!! Be watching there could be a very dangerous Major Earthquake coming or perhaps now more than one!!! And watch that Monday Night Football Game closely to see if Santa Clara doesn't get some shaking there, too!!! EQ Guy

That formerly tied for the biggest Oklahoma Earthquake was UPGRADED to 5.8. . . Now The Biggest!!! Here's a great story all about that: http://www.foxnews.com/us/2016/09/07/usgs-upgrading-oklahoma-earthquake-to-5-8-magnitude.html THERE WAS ALSO a 3.8 Richters Earthquake that struck very near Oklahoma City and I'll have a felt report coming later, right now here's story about the 3.8 Oklahoma City Earthquake and wouldn't you know it has the 5.8 upgraded story added to the end of it now: http://www.koco.com/news/earthquake-felt-in-central-oklahoma/41586750

Again, I'm very sorry to have to report today that there were already TWO Major Earthquakes heading in the direction of San Francisco, and California not to mention Seattle, Reno and Desert Regions, NOW this big North Korea Nuke Test could be the biggest Major Earthquake of THE CENTURY!!! Start watching now and be prepared!!1 More details to come, stay tuned right here!!! EQ Guy

Might not have expected North Korea to test more big nuclear stuff prior to todays EQ Blog but here it is just after 7pm Central Time and YES. . . it's a big and bad Earthquake Alert on top of the probably TWO MAJOR ALERTS we are already watching for in California!!!

You probably recall there was that landfall of the Big Typhoon Namtheun with gusts at 125 Miles Per Hour that came up the East China Sea and landfalled at South Japan: THAT'S the big one Northern California was watching for and that was when Hurricane Newton made landfall at the tip of Baja California where an earthquake will now head up past the deserts of California past Vegas, Reno, and Seattle towards Alaska. . . however Alaska could also now be in the crosshairs of North Korea's latest test, too! Test October 9, 2006, Big 6.7 Richters Hawaii Earthquake October 15, 2006 and of course one we were watching for, too!!! New Big Test!!! What could shake??? Alaska, Hawaii, California, Seattle???

Here's the links to 2006 Nuke Test: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2006_North_Korean_nuclear_test AND Big 2006 Hawaii Earthquake that followed: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2006_Hawaii_earthquake

One more link you'll want to know about, that's the Radio Station where a Brand-New Edition of "Earthquake Minute" might be hitting the airwaves on Friday! Why don't you click "Listen Live" between 4:15 and 4:30pm Central Time @ http://www.wortfm.org/ and SEE!!!

Don't want to give away a lot of my best material by going ahead and discussing material from that yet upcoming Friday show, but I will take credit for saying to watch Argentina and I'll have the felt reports from that 5.6 Cordoba, Argentina Earthquake and more on North Korea in my next Edition of EQ Blog!!! Good Weekend, Everybody!!! EQ Guy

New Pacifica "Lazy Hazy" Earthquake Minute about a possible BIG California Earthquake!!! YouTube@ https://youtu.be/ZXPLenC_sTI Thank-You For Watching!!!

Looks Like Alaska Might Have Major Earthquake Coming, Now!!! ALSO: New Edition of Pacifica "Earthquake Minute"!!!

You will have to CLICK Arrow to Watch this new video: See that latest Pacifica EQ Minute now at YouTube@ https://youtu.be/ZXPLenC_sTI NOW Here's EQ Blog:

Here's a Great Old Edition of EQ Blog where we had the landfall of Hurricane Odile at the same Southern Tip of the Baja California Peninsula and the discussion on the Major Earthquakes that followed@ http://earthquakealert.blogspot.com/2015/06/compare-last-years-landfall-of.html COULD HARDLY beleive how this happened and was really even surprised myself when I read through it!!! If you missed it please click that link and go to the now 2 year old edition of my EQ Blog when another Big Hurricane made landfall at Mexico!!!

Here's proof Alaska is shaking, although it sort of still looks just a little bit garden variety:

2.4 66km W of Anchor Point, Alaska 2016-09-08 01:21
3.4 88km W of Willow, Alaska 2016-09-07 23:47
1.2 35km SW of Anchorage, Alaska 2016-09-07 19:40
2.0 38km W of Willow, Alaska 2016-09-07 15:05
2.6 61km WSW of Talkeetna, Alaska 2016-09-07 12:59
4.2 73km W of Anchor Point, Alaska 2016-09-07 11:47
2.2 6km SSE of Cohoe, Alaska 2016-09-07 06:07
2.4 36km WSW of Cohoe, Alaska 2016-09-07 02:39

Here's a fairly big one that so far shook there, although I can also see it on that above list, too, not too far from Anchorage as you can see on the list of Nearby Places, that follows:

4.2 - 73km W of Anchor Point, Alaska
2016-09-07 11:47

Nearby Places
3.3 Miles E of Iniskin, Alaska, Population: 0
150 Miles SW of Anchorage, Alaska, Population: 291,826
164 Miles SW of Eagle River, Alaska, Population: 24,793
172 Miles SW of Knik-Fairview, Alaska, Population: 14,923
624 Miles WSW of Whitehorse, Canada, Population: 23,272

Keep watching East Coast and of course there should be no doubt California and now probably Alaska is eventually going to be looking at some Major Shaking!!! EQ Guy

Landfall of Hurricane Newton at Tip of Baja California, Mexico, And AGAIN at Mainland Mexico Early Today!!! LOTS Of Brand New Earthquake Energy Coming!!!

The main reason I'm writing and publishing this Edition of my EQ Blog is due to the fact that first off there has been a very bad landfall of a Major Typhoon at South of Japan!!! Reason this is important is that type of Earthquake Energy normally heads DIRECTLY FOR CALIFORNIA!!! In this case it looks like a line between Point Arena and towns further up into Oregon. Next is that unexpected landfall of Hurricane Newton at the Tip of the Baja California Peninsula with gusts reported at 116mph!!! These usually mean earthquakes out in the California Desert Region and it continued on to make additional landfall early Wednesday at Mainland heading into Arizona where it is now although no longer a Hurricane as they sometimes do there. There will now be earthquakes in that Cal-Nev-Ari Region and I'll have much more detail in coming EQ Blogs, too.

Watch Honduras for more and no doubt there should be much larger ones than this one heading for them:

4.9 - 73km NNE of Savannah Bight, Honduras
2016-09-05 20:10

Nearby Places:
73.5 km (45.7 mi) NNE of Savannah Bight, Honduras, Population: 1,031
131.5 km (81.7 mi) NNE of Trujillo, Honduras, Population: 9,646
157.4 km (97.8 mi) NNE of Tocoa, Honduras, Population: 30,785
195.8 km (121.7 mi) NE of La Ceiba, Honduras, Population: 130,218
205.6 km (127.8 mi) NE of Olanchito, Honduras, Population: 25,969

But, they're getting there, because look at the felt report for that earthquake:

FELT REPORT: City, Region, Country.........................#.....Km
Guanaja, Islas de la Bahía, Honduras...............1......77 km
José Santos Guardiola, Islas de la Bahía, Honduras.2.....116 km
Roatán, Islas de la Bahía, Honduras................3.....133 km


This weeks "Earthquake Minute" deals with landfalling Hurricanes and says to WATCH California, before they shook there!!!!! CLICK Arrow: VIEW Hurricane Hermine "Earthquake Minute" at YouTube@ https://youtu.be/aTV6w-ldH48 The Transcript Is At: http://earthquakealert3.blogspot.com/2016/09/hurricane-hermine-earthquake-minute-for.html

Here's a great story at Weatherunderground with both of these big hurricanes and has all the details on that landfall of Hurricane Newton at South Mexico on Tuesday: https://www.wunderground.com/blog/JeffMasters/comment.html?entrynum=3419

Maximum wind speeds when Hurricane Lili made landfall at Florida were at CAT-4 145 Miles Per Hour!!! Here's the Hurricane Lili Story at Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Lili Result along with one of my very early "EQ Alerts" having came first, was that Big Italy Earthquake where a school collapsed and 26 died there. At least one teacher in the school and Here's a lot more information on that Earthquake at Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2002_Molise_earthquake

Oklahoma might not normally be much of a story but I had to edit out a lot of smaller ones here in order to run this list. . . they're still getting a lot of earthquakes:

2.9 11km NW of Pawnee, Oklahoma 2016-09-07 06:17
3.5 14km NW of Pawnee, Oklahoma 2016-09-06 21:26
3.5 20km NW of Medford, Oklahoma 2016-09-06 13:33
3.7 20km NW of Medford, Oklahoma 2016-09-06 12:49
3.9 19km NW of Medford, Oklahoma 2016-09-06 12:48

Just noticed there had been this: 4.9 - 4km WSW of Tsukuba, Japan and very near Tokyo, although they probably don't really care too much about being shook by a 4.9 as some of our own more shaky places might not.
Let's mostly watch California and continue to watch around Washington, DC and East Coast a few more days for up to 6 Richters and I think California might be a bigger alert so don't be surprised if they get about a 7.5 there!!! Be Prepared!!! EQ Guy

WHAT Could Be The Source of Earthquake Energy at Oklahoma??? And The Felt Report Is Finally In From Big Oklahoma Earthquake on Saturday!!! Like 3000 Felt Reports Filed With USGS!!! Also: Oklahoma Declared State of Emergency

The latest on that Oklahoma Earthquake is the fact that the two big sources for potential Earthquake Energy that I've been watching right at the moment have been the landfalls of Hurricane Madeline at Hawaii, and Hermine at Florida, neither should much affect Oklahoma although tectonic plates being what they are something might always be possible. . . BOTH of these are generally straight-line type Earthquake Energy. After looking at this one, I declared that it is a bit unusual for a 5.6 out there so far from California and that far from where the landfall of Hurricane Hermine happened at Florida and then it occurred to me COULD THIS BE exclusively caused by Fracking??? It would explain why so big of earthquake even in response to all the landfalling windstorms. . . there's STILL not a good reason and no straight line passes through there. With the other 5.6 having shook at Northern California just a few hours earlier I am also wondering if the shaking didn't first start in Northern California due to the movement of the North American Tectonic Plate then and only then shake Oklahoma possibly only after PUSHING west in that manner with the result AGAIN, being fracking causing California Earthquakes as it seems to have done in the Napa, California Earthquake in 2011.

Felt Report from the 5.6 Oklahoma Earthquake is now in at Earthquake Central @ http://eqalert.blogspot.com/2016/09/heres-felt-report-from-that-big-56.html Although I will still need some more time, yet, to get all of those Longitudes, and Latitudes out of there, it's that new system that requires me to hand data entry all of that info that takes time and there seemed to have for some reason been like 3000 felt reports on that earthquake!!!

There has also just been a 6.3 Richters Earthquake that struck 189 km ESE of Nikol'skoye, Russia. . . or all the way up at the very western end of all the Islands of Alaska where the Russia starts. Didn't see any felt reports, but can say this is happening and we're now officially watching Alaska for a Major Earthquake and it's one that looks like it is going to be heading towards California! More details to come!!!

Looks like Oklahoma Declared a State of Emergency with regards to that 5.6 Richters Earthquake that struck there on Early Saturday Morning. Not a lot of information is available, but I did see one story that said they promised full coverage on Sunday, probably meaning their Sunday Paper there if I recall having been down there myself in 2011 and collecting a lot of such newspapers there! I'll keep watching and have more as I find it! Right now here that story: "Oklahoma Declared Emergency!!!" @ http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/state-emergency-declared-oklahoma-after-magnitude-5-6-earthquake-n642676

Here's yet another reason we will probably be needing a tsunami alert system for our East Coast along the Atlantic, this one gives the distance from St. Johns Canada for some reason! You may note that it's actually even closer to New York, and maybe Washington, DC there:

5.1 - Northern Mid-Atlantic Ridge, 2016-09-05 20:06:24 UTC

Nearby Places:
1411.3 km (876.9 mi) SW Ribeira Grande, Portugal, Population: 5,198
1530.6 km (951.1 mi) SW Angra do Heroísmo, Portugal, Population: 12,045
2060.3 km (1280.2 mi) SSE Mount Pearl, Canada, Population: 24,671
2062.0 km (1281.3 mi) SSE St. John's, Canada, Population: 99,182

The latest earthquake at the top of this list is Honduras! That's exactly the spot we're watching for maybe a 5.5 about the same tectonic plate movement that hit Oklahoma and this spot is in the wake of the landfall of Hurricane Hermine at Florida:

4.9 73km NNE of Savannah Bight, Honduras 2016-09-05 20:10
4.2 91km W of Masachapa, Nicaragua 2016-09-05 03:06
4.2 36km SSW of Puerto San Jose, Guatemala 2016-09-04 06:14
4.4 87km W of Masachapa, Nicaragua 2016-09-04 05:14
4.6 66km WSW of Masachapa, Nicaragua 2016-09-04 01:31
4.7 15km NW of San Isidro, Costa Rica 2016-09-03 22:06

Finally watch for brand-new Hurricane Newton just named late Monday!!! Check out where it's headed and see if yuou can guess where more earthquakaes might now STRIKE!!!

I'm going to publish this right now and it'll have Mondays date although I can update it if anything more should happen between now and early Tuesday. I have quite a bit of other info that I'd been gathering over the weekend, but I've also been very busy tubing the Wisconsin River, too, so for now here's the latest!!! EQ Guy

HUGE 5.6 Richters Earthquake Struck 74 Miles North of Oklahoma City at 7:04am Central Time Saturday Morning!!! There Was Also a 5.7 Northern California Earthquake Late Friday!!! WATCH Because NY, NJ, or DC Could Be Next!!!

The felt report on this BIG Oklahoma Earthquake covers much of Texas including Dallas/Fort Worth, into Kansas, and all the way up to Lincoln, Nebraska!!! I'll need to update both of the felt reports on this and the Northern California Earthquake that follows later. Details are just coming in and include a lot of big time damage in Oklahoma and while being reported as a TIE for biggest earthquake there with the 2011 Oklahoma Earthquake, it appears to be much closer to Oklahoma City!!! Could be some damage in OKC yet to come in so I'll surely update on that later, too!!! Here's the USGS Report for the Pawnee, Oklahoma Earthquake

5.6 - 14km NW of Pawnee, Oklahoma
2016-09-03 7:02am Central Time

Longitude: 36.429°N, Latitude: 96.923°W

Depth: 6.6 km

23 Miles NNE of Stillwater, Oklahoma, Population: 45,688
74.1 Miles NNE of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Population: 579,999

This one shook late last night while I was editing the "Earthquake Minute" that will follow here:

5.7 - 103km W of Ferndale, California
2016-09-03 03:27 Universal Time, Central Minus 5, Pacific Minus 7 Hours.

Crescent City, California, 192.0 km (119.3 mi) SW

The felt report from the NorCal Earthquake includes the fact that it was felt in San Francisco, Sonoma, and Sparks, Nevada!!!

At this point I want to remind folks who may not read my EQ Blog on a regular basis that ALL THESE Major Earthquakes do seem to be connected to ALL those Big Hurricanes making landfall right at the moment!!! As you'll notice I discuss in the following edition of "Earthquake Minute" recorded in the studio at WORT-FM, Madison on Friday!!! CLICK Arrow To Watch: VIEW Hurricane Hermine "Earthquake Minute" at YouTube@ https://youtu.be/aTV6w-ldH48 The Transcript Is At: http://earthquakealert3.blogspot.com/2016/09/hurricane-hermine-earthquake-minute-for.html

LOT of big windstorm activity remains out there with the total results from Hurricane Hermine yet to be all in! Another possible landfall yet along our East Coast and we're also already watching all those East Coast places for possible earthquake, too!!! MIGHT wish to view Friday/Thursday's Edition of this EQ Blog where I give a lot of the details on all the windstorms@ http://earthquakealert.blogspot.com/2016/09/big-71-richters-earthquake-struck-just.html

KEEP WATCHING For More Major Earthquakes and while I'm only giving the Estimated Magnitude at around 5.5 we might notice they're getting them at 5.5 HOWEVER they're getting them in Northern California, and Oklahoma and New York, New Jersey or Washington DC neighborhoods could be next!!! EQ Guy

Big 7.1 Richters Earthquake Struck Just To The North of New Zealand Along With Lots Of Big Aftershocks!!! On New Moon Day!!! NOW Hurricane Hermine "Earthquake Minute" Video!!!

CLICK Arrow: VIEW Hurricane Hermine "Earthquake Minute" at YouTube@ https://youtu.be/aTV6w-ldH48 The Transcript Is At: http://earthquakealert3.blogspot.com/2016/09/hurricane-hermine-earthquake-minute-for.html NOW Fridays EQ Blog:

Slight difference today between the USGS Felt Reports that follow. . . and the fact that the GeoNet Felt Reports are up to a Grand Total of 4,711 Felt Reports listed on their own New Zealand Seismology Page!!! So, here's the best of the USGS List basically showing it was felt in Auckland, Wellington, Marlborough, and Christchurch:

City......State.....Country..........................#......Km
Ruatoria, Gisborne, New Zealand...........2......85 km
Gisborne, Gisborne, New Zealand...........7.....167 km
Tauranga, Bay of Plenty, New Zealand.....27.....259 km
Hastings, Hawkeʿs Bay, New Zealand........8.....315 km
Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand..........44.....387 km
North Shore, Auckland, New Zealand.......33.....388 km
Wellington, Wellington, New Zealand......21.....567 km
Blenheim, Marlborough New Zealand........1.....634 km
Christchurch, Canterbury, New Zealand.....4.....871 km
Lyttelton, Canterbury, New Zealand........1.....873 km
Dunedin, Otago, New Zealand...............1....1182 km

Here's all the earthquakes at the New Zealand Epicenter with the 7.1 moved to the top and the rest sort of just cut and pasted in there not exactly in order as you can see by the times there:

7.1 166km NE of Gisborne, New Zealand 2016-09-01 11:37
5.6 187km ENE of Opotiki, New Zealand 2016-09-01 12:36

4.9 170km NE of Gisborne, New Zealand 2016-09-01 19:30
4.5 187km ENE of Opotiki, New Zealand 2016-09-01 16:19

Check this out, it's from my E-Mail regarding the New Zealand Earthquake:

== PRELIMINARY EARTHQUAKE REPORT ==

Region: OFF EAST COAST OF THE NORTH ISLAND, N.Z.
Magnitude: 7.1
Universal Time (UTC): Sept. 1, 2016 16:37:59
Time near the Epicenter: Sept. 2, 2016 04:37:59

Location with respect to nearby cities:
167 km (103 mi) NE of Gisborne, New Zealand
201 km (124 mi) ENE of Whakatane, New Zealand
267 km (165 mi) E of Tauranga, New Zealand
269 km (166 mi) ENE of Rotorua, New Zealand
569 km (352 mi) NE of Wellington, New Zealand

Earlier news might have been this Japan Earthquake, although at this point I do not recognize any of the "Nearby Places". . . nor any of the names of towns in the felt report that follows! Seems like the big deal was that it struck right in the middle of a heavily populated region there if you notice the populations are given in the Nearby Places list there:

5.0 - 15km NW of Uto, Japan
2016-08-31 21:33

Nearby Places:
Shimabara, Japan 15.4 km (9.6 mi) East of Population: 38,113

Tamana, Japan 17.1 km (10.6 mi) SSW Population: 45,661
Matsubase, Japan 18.1 km (11.3 mi) NW Population: 26,163

Sasebo, Nagasaki, Japan.......1......88 km
Fukuoka, Fukuoka, Japan.......2......92 km
Maebaru, Fukuoka, Japan.......1......93 km
Miyazaki, Miyazaki, Japan.....1.....126 km

Looks like all the shaking in New Zealand took place about 7 hours and 32 minutes after the exact moment of the New Moon early Thursday.

Thank-You For Reading and have a Great Labor Day Weekend, Everybody!!! And of course there's all those big windstorms and I'm sorry for all the folks who might have hoped for a better holiday weekend, too! There's also going to be some shaking due to all that WIND!!! And all the landfalls including Hurricane Hermine landfalling at Florida on my TV right this moment as I'm publishing this Edition of my EQ Blog!!! EQ Guy
