Very Little Earthquake Energy Around. . . 6 Richters?

Full Moon. . . but there is very little earthquake energy around the world so there is not much to write about! Infact the actual full moon might even have been last night. Note that all the smallish earthquakes that I have been watching for over the past several weeks would be at the most about 6 Richters and I have always said since I have been tracking earthquake energy that you can also watch periods when there is NO or very little earthquakes like right now. Although major earthquakes are still always possible, I do not think this full moon should produce anything major. Thank-You again for reading. EQ Guy

Earthquake Energy Heading for Coalinga, Hollister, or San Jose!!! 5.9???

New earthquake energy heading for the general area of Coalinga, Hollister, and San Jose although it could reach Frisco, too. Not expecting too big of a shaker, but I do like to still try to get the exact spot and magnitude whenever possible you understand and smaller ones work just as good as well as for making preparations for when we know there is an earthquake coming! So, be watching now for the coming hours and next couple days for an earthquake that should not be much bigger than 5.9 Richters and I do not think this one will hit 6. Thank-You again for reading!!!

Tropical Storm Dan = Earthquake Energy California

Tropical Storm Dan heading for the coast of Texas could become seismic energy heading for California! But it isn't looking like it will be that much right at the moment! Be watching that storm, though. EQ Guy

Major Alert: Japan, Alaska, West Coast!!!!!

This may not immediately affect our West Coast, but folks on our West Coast certainly know that anytime there is a major storm, that they do tend to get earthquakes right in the middle of the storm! Therefore I must issue this major alert tonight for Japan due to a major typhoon right now bearing down on that country and additionally that they very much are due for a major aftershock!!! Right at the moment I just needed to put this message on my EQ Blog, and I will have updated info as that major windstorm nears Japan as well as during and after. So, also be watching Alaska and our West Coast since this could turn out to be as big as a Cat 4, or Cat 5 storm at landfall and become just a huge earthquake. . . as well as another major earthquake disaster for Japan only days and hours away!!!!! EQ Guy

Full Moon. . . No Alert!

Yes, the full moon will be tonight, Friday, and I am happy to report that there is not really too much earthquake energy out there. Just checked and it has been 53 days since the last major energy and only a few smaller sources since then. . . not much to worry about especially tonight, or the days before and after the full moon. Stay tuned for those hurricanes and typhoons and there is a Cat 4 heading directly for Japan right at the moment and close to 90 degree waters in the Gulf of Mexico, but all that is yet to come! Tonight basically just watch for NOTHING to happen and remember that you heard it right here, and I have been fairly accurate at saying when there should NOT be an earthquake. Thank-You for reading!

That Japan Earthquake Was Sure Close!!!!!

I was sure close on that Japan thing this weekend!!! Those people should probably try to be A LOT better prepared for earthquakes, hey!!!!! Now, while there are still some shakers, i do not know right off hand of any more major earthquakes coming! Unless the winds that blew that big pumpkin down could. . . . . no, won't worry too much 'bout that!!! Thank-You again for reading! EQ Guy

Osaka, Japan could be where an Aftershock might strike????? Next = Alaska/West Coast!!!!!

I noticed when looking at an actual map of Japan that perhaps Osaka might be one of the places an aftershock could hit since the actual overall length of Japan is like a thousand or more miles and it now seems possible that all these major aftershocks could be striking that immediate region! Here is one that struck today:

Thank-You again for reading! There are still a few days left of this alert. . . then watch out Alaska/West Coast!!!!! EQ Guy

Sumatra Aftershocks 120 and 1200 Miles from Original Epicenter!!!

The Major Aftershocks of the Great Sumatra Earthquake of 2004 and the mileage from the original epicenter is as follows: March 28, 2005 at 8.6 Richters 120 Miles South (SSE), July 17, 2006 at 7.7 Richters 1200 Miles SouthWest, and September 12, 2007 at 8.5 Richters 625 Miles South. While I can not actually say that each of these three major earthquakes have been officially catagorized as "Aftershocks" of the Great Sumatra Earthquake of 2004, which is listed as 9.1 Richters, I do want to basically just note that 120 Miles was as close as an actual Major Aftershock struck to the exact epicenter of the original. While interestingly 1200 Miles away seemed to also be affected although I can't say that July 2006 event was ever termed an aftershock.

So, now we will be watching for a major aftershock as big as the ones I have just listed above and right at the moment perhaps we should start thinking about watching Alaska and our West Coast into the coming week or so because there is still one major earthquake out there and one source of earthquake energy still waiting to strike somebody, somewhere. Right at the moment I still lean heavilly on the Japan Region for a major aftershock, though!!!!! EQ Guy

Japan Aftershock on or about June 30???

I like to assume that because the Great Sumatra Earthquake back in 2004 had two major aftershocks in the 8 Magnitude range, that the recent Great Japan Earthquake will probably also have aftershocks along those same lines. I had accurately figured exactly when the aftershocks of Sumatra would occur, and am now resonably sure that on or about June 30 something should really shake over in the Japan Region again. It should be noted and I think any reasonable seismology person would agree that the major aftershocks may not strike out at the same exact spot. The reason I'm thinking this is because is it possible that the major aftershocks could strike a populated area? Or Not? Or should aftershocks still strike out in the ocean? In any event the same movement of the Indian Ocean/Australian Tectonic Plate is currently taking place and if it is going to shake Japan again. . . that day might be June 30. However I have been told by a real seismologist that if my method of predicting the movement of tectonic plates IS accurate, then the actual earthquake energy could be released at any time and that it probably will not duplicate the exact day and time, of course. So be watching out starting now and through June 30 and a couple days beyond for 8 Richters Magnitude to strike that region, and I suppose possibly not Japan, but I'm wondering if there isn't a small chance for Alaska, Canada, or our West Coast to get some of this earthquake energy? Then that would not have to be connected to the June 30 date, either since it is further away. Thank-You for reading!!! EQ Guy

Christchurch = Japan. . . Again?????

The correlation date for Christchurch/Japan from earlier this year = Japan on June 30th, but it is unlikely a similar sequence would repeat exactly, Just Sayin'. Could strike elsewhere you know, but Japan IS about due for 8 Mag. Aftershock. EQ Guy

Just copied that from my EQ Guy Facebook page and want to add that I counted the number of days after this years major Christchurch Earthquake until Japan and that number is like 17 days. . . so now 17 days after this recent Christchurch Earthquake will be June 30. Also this is very nearly the exact same movement of the Indian Ocean/Australian Tectonic Plate taking place, however that may not dictate the earthquake energy will necessarily strike at Japan again.

Japan, Japan, Japan!!!!! Is a Major Aftershock Due?

The earthquake energy from the Joplin Tornado headed in a straight line towards Escondido, and Mexicali, California, and continued on towards New Zealand. Next, a major earthquake or aftershock, struck at Christchurch this week and practically right along that line of new earthquake energy. Japan will also now be along that line, and perhaps at about the same number of days to follow as occurred back in the February / March 2011 series of events. It is possible, though, that it will not take the same number of days, or that it could happen sooner or take a few days longer for the new earthquake energy to reach Japan. It is also possible that this new earthquake energy will miss Japan and strike Indonesia, China, or elsewhere, but let me tell you Japan is about due for an 8 Magnitude aftershock. While there is a full moon on the night of Wednesday, June 15, this earthquake energy will not be set to be released on that night due to it still taking possibly a few days yet to move the entire Indian Ocean Tectonic Plate and push it up into the Japan region. The full moon actually only increases the amount of stress on existing tectonic plate boundaries and while it may release some earthquake energy somewhere, it may not cause a major Japan aftershock to occur right on the exact evening of the full moon nor the next night. . . but something very well could happen there just the same and we do pretty much know that earthquakes do tend to strike on the night of the full moon. Example, the big Chile earthquake from last year struck just a couple hours before the full moon, and the original Christchurch earthquake from earlier in 2011 struck two days after the full moon. So watch out for earthquakes the night of the full moon, and watch out for Japan to get a major aftershock in the coming days as well, but that could occur beyond the full moon days. EQ Guy

6.0 Richters, Christchurch Today!!!!! Keep Watching AND Full Moon Wednesday!!!!!

There are still a few days left on this alert, watch through June 24 but it looks like it might strike more up towards Japan now since Christchurch just got a 6.0 Magnitude Shaker! You can view that at http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=10731968 and continue to watch around California just in case, because i can't really guess how much earthquake energy went in to that Chile Volcano??? And Watch Especially a couple nights before and after the Full Moon Wednesday Night, too!!! EQ Guy

One Major Earthquake Seems To Be Out There. . . Yet!!! California???

Sunday will be Day 14 after the now great Joplin Tornado and so I write today just to mention that there does still seem to be one major earthquake which I expect to follow Joplin, that has yet to strike! Thursday, June 9 will be 18 days after Joplin and so let's be watching between now and June 9 for a major earthquake and I still want to post Escondido, California for about the epicenter, although Mexicali and Capistrano are also along that line. Of course movement between the North American and Pacific Tectonic Plates does not necessarily occur right at Borrego Springs or Huntington Beach, either, rather can probably shake anywhere along the San Andreas Fault or Hawaii/Japan for that matter and note that on June 9 when this alert basically ends for the West Coast, it continues several more days for Japan. Keep watching for 7 Richters or so, everybody!!! EQ Guy
