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

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

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

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

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that the original 3.2 could have been the "Main Shock" and tonights 2.8 could have just been a little aftershock, but do not quote me since my education is seriously in the junkyard where I have basically been for the last 3 or so days getting parts to fix my car!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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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