I tend to NOT hurry and write when we are not really expecting any shakers on our West Coast or nearby, so it might be kindof quietforawhile

I won't generally write too much when nothing is going on, there's still some potential seismic energy for Japan and China, 7R's, but. . .

EQAlert Will write out a complete update tomorrow, had Event Security duty today. Bucky hugged me!!! :) That's all for tonight!! EQ Alert Guy less than 5 seconds ago from web

EQAlert Upcoming shaker should still be 6.8 Richters, but as time passes watch areas further from the U.S., still Alaska and Redoubt Volcano. EQ Guy less than 5 seconds ago from web

EQAlert Start watching Japan and Central America for that major shaker, and less for our own West Coast this week. Update coming!!! EQ Alert Guy less than 5 seconds ago from web

Continued EQ Alert: California!!!!!

Hello,
This is my letter that I write and send to all my friends who are interested in my opinion about when the next major earthquake might be, and at present we should continue to watch California for this upcoming about 6.8 Richters Magnitude earthquake that I expect will shake somewhere very soon, because major earthquakes generally follow a major Tornado that does a lot of damage and the recent Oklahoma City tornado has now struck just one week ago. Friday night will be ten days and about next Tuesday will be Day 14, thereafter it will greatly diminish the chances that this upcoming resultant will strike our West Coast and increase the chances for it to strike Japan or Central America. There was a near direct hit on Mt. Saint Helens today at 2.5 Richters. FYI.
While I was test driving my car late last week to get a problem with the EGR valve dialed in, I blew a wheel bearing and so as a result have been stuck underneath my car all week tearing apart the brakes, tie-rods, strut, spindle, hub, and finally the bearing. Of course I busted the tie-rod end in the process, and today my moms car got a nail in the tire coming home from getting grease in the new tie-rod end, and returning the new Samuel L. Jackson DVD, so instead of working on my car from that point on I was running around fixing the tire on moms car after changing the tire in a blinding blizzard!!! Then got to my meeting tonight on time, but apparently a week late. Got the new bearing put in and the spindle unstuck from the strut and tomorrow hope to have my car back on the road so that I can get back to trying to figure out if the EGR valve is sticking open or whatever is causing it to just plain not start intermittently like especially when it hits 48 or 49 degrees.
Thank-You again for reading and I also want to especially thank everybody who is joining my alert by way of the Twitter service where I am currently up to almost a thousand followers!!! So, I hope the rest of you don’t mind the little ditty about my life in the middle of an otherwise very important alert, it is designed to give some of the new folks a chance to sort of get to know The EQ Alert Guy!!! In addition to my usual earthquake stuff, some of you might wish to check out my regular everyday You Tube stuff at www.youtube.com/johnfredrickkodiak and I’m sure by now you’ve seen all my earthquake alert sites, plenty more about them later. . . Right now there is one very major earthquake coming any moment or any day now, for the next few days!!!

EQ Alert: California!!!!!

February 15, 2009

Hello,
There is presently an earthquake swarm happening at Puerto Rico that adds up to 250 Richters and when you combine that with the 300 plus Richters that struck out at Indonesia in the days following the recent full moon, it all now tells me that our West Coast just might be next!!! Wind speeds in the recent tornado that struck Oklahoma City were reported as high as 170 mph and there has been an enormous amount of damage reported from there.
There was just a 3.9 Richters earthquake that struck west of Bakersfield near the exact place where I worked at one of those new natural gas burning power plants. This small town is named Fellows, it is near another town called Taft, and the epicenter is just a few miles away. As a precaution let us consider this shaker a foreshock for a major earthquake that could strike California at any minute now. We should continue to watch around San Francisco and I suppose now Los Angeles for a major shaker around 6.8 Richters Magnitude for the next few days.
I will be working on an Abbreviated Official Prediction and file it with the California people early this week. I hope you understand that right at this minute I am rushing this alert out for my Sunday Night deadline!!!
So, watch out West Coast, and I suppose Alaska and Mexico for a major earthquake that could strike any moment now and Thank-You everybody for reading!
I also want to Thank all my new friends who have recently joined my EQ Alert Group on Twitter!!! Please pass the word on to everybody that this is the place to find out everything about earthquakes and potential seismic activity all around the world!!! And Thanks for the add!!! www.twitter.com/eqalert

New EQ Alert: California, West Coast, Alaska!!!

February 13, 2009

To: All EQ Alert People
From: The EQ Alert Guy

Hello,
The information that I have seen so far that is available indicates to me that this new upcoming earthquake will be a major shaker!!! I seen the preliminary numbers for amount of damage and they had quite a lot of houses damaged and destroyed in the recent tornado. There will now be an almost equal amount of damage from the earthquake that will follow.
As of tonight there has also been a large number of earthquakes shaking over around Indonesia all of which started on Wednesday afternoon. While I haven’t exactly added up the total number of Richters in that whole swarm, I can tell you that the Twitter notifications coming to my cell phone via text message have been enormous for the last day or so, every one of them that was 5 Richters or larger causes my phone to chime! I just checked and it was about 25 dollars worth of text messages, so it’s a lot of Richters!
Right at the moment I am thinking seriously about writing up an Official Prediction to file with the California Earthquake Prediction Evaluation Council, but until then I want everybody to know that this new upcoming major earthquake could strike our West Coast at just about any moment now!!! The exact magnitude should be around 6.8 Richters and California does have just enough of a chance that I suppose I probably should write to them especially, for now this letter will have to do. The only reason that I am not submitting to CEPEC directly is because there is still a very good chance that it could strike North of California or as far north as Alaska and whether or not it will affect the Alaska Volcano Redoubt I will say that it IS likely to. Further, the possibility will now exist for a major eruption, of course I still do not believe that this potential seismic energy knows where that volcano is up there and that it seems far more likely to cruise past that region and just strike randomly some other spot on the globe! Of course there WILL be that chance that it will strike AT or very near Mt. Redoubt. In all scenarios if you are up around Mount Redoubt expect at least some minor activity in the coming days because the tectonic plates are bumping around slightly, however keep in mind that it is my opinion that a major earthquake has to strike the volcano directly to effect a major eruption and while one may even strike the Alaska region, it is doubtful it will strike right at Mt. Redoubt.
For the coming days and into next week let us keep our eyes on the San Andreas Fault and especially like around San Francisco for a major earthquake to strike. This will basically just be the North American tectonic plate being pushed against the Pacific Plate which likes to move north and south out at that shaky tectonic plate boundary you know.
Thank-You, again for reading!!!

New Seismic Energy--New EQ Alert Coming!!!!!

The news is just coming in about a tornado that has done damage around Oklahoma City. Judging by the amount of damage shown on TV and in the newspapers I have to now report that it looks like we will want to consider this a potential source of major seismic activity!!!

I will have a fully written out alert on this subject in the next day or two, but for now realize that the Mt. Saint Helens eruption of 1980 was preceded a few days by a tornado that destroyed half of Kalamazoo and there are a number of other very close correlations such as that.

This tornado was big enough to cause a significant earthquake especially for now let's watch out along the tectonic plate margins such as California, Oregon and Washington. This will also include a chance for major seismic activity in and around Alaska so begin watching Mt. Redoubt much closer immediately.

An update and a full alert will follow. This is my own personal unofficial letter that I send to my friends who enjoy my opinion of things seismic and I do not represent anybody when I give out my opinion. Thank-You for reading!!!

Respectfully,

Full Moon-Alaska Volcano Alert

I just checked the map of most recent earthquakes for Alaska and see the most recent one listed for the region around that volcano was early Wednesday morning, February 4. The nearest most recent one was today a 2.0 around a hundred miles from it. There have been several tiny ones in that region, but I think that is fairly usual.
Now, the full moon will be Monday Night and so I just thought I should write tonight to say that the full moon has been responsible for some additional seismic activity since I have incorporated it into my EQ Alert Theory last year and tonight and tomorrow night it will increase slightly the chances for a small earthquake in the region around that volcano, but I want to note that there is really nothing in the way of potential seismic energy right at the moment as far as I know from routinely tracking such energies. So, while the likelihood will increase slightly for the next few days. . . It will be increasing from zero to only very, very slight or from no chance at all of anything happening to practically no chance. I will let you all know as soon as there are any earthquakes at all heading for us!
Thank-You, again for reading!

Alaska Volcano--Full Moon Coming Soon!!!!!

Yes, there will be a higher chance of alaska volcano the night of the full moon, Monday Night. Full alert letter coming soon!!!

Potential Seismic Activity-Energy and That Volcano in Alaska

I just seen where there was about a 5.9 Richters shaker over around Japan like yesterday. I checked on the Redoubt Volcano and saw a very nice picture of it from a webcam up there. Currently it is about forty degrees outside here in Wisconsin and so I thought I should just write today to say that at the present time there is no major sources of potential seismic energy pretty much anywhere in the world.

While a 5.9 Richters earthquake in Japan does indicate a very small amount of seismic energy, it is my own opinion that it is not enough to involve the Pacific Tectonic Plate in enough movement to cause a major volcano to erupt. As always, this seismic energy would need to directly strike at or very near the center of a volcano to cause much of an eruption, but like i always say with Mount St. Helens none of this potential seismic energy actually KNOWS where that volcano IS. Therefore, any potential seismic activity circling the earth or influencing the Pacific Tectonic Plate will be striking WHERE IT WILL, and any volcano active or not will be simply a target for a source of potential seismic energy that will still just hit wherever it will. Mathmatically speaking, this would be the reason that some of these huge volcanoes do erupt, and while it is ofter so many years before one like Redoubt will erupt. Methinks it has a lot to do with all of the present potential seismic energy being very likely to miss this volcano.

If you are in the area of Alaska, keep in mind that this situation will chance immediately as soon as there is a major Tropical Cyclone in the Southern Hemisphere, or as soon as the Hurricane and Typhoon season returns in the North. I will be sure to alert everybody at that time. Until then, this is NOT an official statement representing anybody but myself, but there is none, or very little in the way of potential seismic in the coming days and weeks. . . for now. And Thank-You, again for reading!!!

Severe COLD WEATHER!!!!!

Like the lyrics to the song go "It's Forty Below and I don't give a #*@%&, got a heater in my truck and I'm off to the Rodeo!!!" (It's an old David Allan Coe song) Well, it actually WAS about that cold around here for most of the last week or so, and so i just thought i would take a second to write.

While severe cold was originally a part of potential seismic activity, I want to point out that it was in association with four feet of snow in the Sierras, and wind speeds of up to 55 mph so today I just want to point out to those of you who were interested that the severe cold ALONE, might not be too much of a source for seismic energy.

Granted, I believe it to be hot and cold that makes the mercury in a thermometer work possibly through warm/expansion and cold/contracting and that if that is true, then it seems plausible to me that energy could also contribute to plate tectonics. . . but in and of itself possibly not to the extent that it could cause a major earthquake. All alone by itself anyways. THIS could explain a lot of the small shakers in the five Richters range i am receiving on my cell phone via the Twitter service with text notifications for "EQTW" or "EarthquakeNews" both great sources of such notifications!!!

So, that is really all that is happening right at the moment. And the weather has gotten warmer since last week, too, so hopefully there isn't really too much potential seismic energy anywhere in the world right at the moment. Obviously still NOT an all clear by no means, but I suppose there could well be one coming up if nothing else happens soon!!!

Thank-You, again for reading!!!

EQ Alert Update: Full Moon!!!

Hello,
We just got about a whole nother foot of snow and I know that a lot of other places got a lot of additional snow as well. Also, they have had several earthquakes out at the West Coast and a couple more up around Yellowstone. So, as I said in my last update we should continue to be watching for earthquakes, although I do not have too much information as to what exactly might happen, if anything.
Am writing tonight mostly because the night of the full moon will be January 10, or I think like tomorrow and in the year or so that I have added in the full moon to my theory, I have actually had a certain amount of luck with potential seismic energy being released on that exact night!!! Due to that fifty percent chance of something major happening on the night of the full moon, and the fact that right this moment there may yet be some potential seismic activity out there, yet, watch tomorrow night for a small shaker.
That’s really all I have right now, just a full moon reminder. Thank-You, again for reading!

New EQ Bulletin: West Coast!!!

As of Sunday Morning there was a good sized shaker up around Wendover, Nevada in addition to that MAJOR SERIES of enormous earthquakes that shook yesterday, last night and today in the West Pacific.
You might expect that to be about the end of the Yellowstone Swarm, however let us be watching here for a few more days just in case something might happen along our West Coast. In the course of tracking potential seismic activity like i do, I always try to keep folks aware whenever something could still shake somewhere, and right this moment that somewhere is California, Oregon, Seattle, Alaska, and Japan.
While there has been a huge release of seismic energy out at PNG, there could still be pressure built up at other spots like along the San Andreas Fault that could do something. We should continue to be on the lookout for more earthquakes into this week and continue to be prepared!!! The release of all of that potential seismic energy will lead to a lessening of all of the big medium sized earthquakes we are seeing like TODAY, and in like a few more days methinks this event will be concluded for now!

EQ Alert Update

December 30, 2008

To:
All EQ Alert People

From:
The EQ Alert Guy

Hello,
They had a good sized shaker this week near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania and a fairly extensive swarm of 2 and 3 Richter earthquakes in the middle of Yellowstone National Park yesterday. Those of you who have followed my writing over the years already know that I am going to consider those all to have been foreshocks of a major earthquake that will be striking in the coming hours and days. Because I am experiencing a very heavy amount of new readers at quite a rather fast pace some of you will want to know that my reasoning for that assertion is that those two areas are situated roughly in the middle of the North American Tectonic Plate and that due to my “Weight on the Tectonic Plate” theory will thusly force like in a weighted down kind of movement with the result being pressure put on the thrust regions or the place where the North American Plate pushes against the Pacific Tectonic Plate. This is the reason that I issue what I call my “Snowfall Resultant” alert for the West Coast of the U.S., because it is roughly the region where these two tectonic plates usually push together. While it is also the place where they slide up and down against one another at the San Andreas Fault, you should know that there is also some thrust faulting out in that region as well, mostly closer to the ocean and west of the San Andreas fault such as Malibu, San Juan Capistrano and maybe that one Long Beach fault might also be of the thrust nature, too, I’m not exactly sure there.
In the year 2003 we had a similarly rough December Winter weather situation and it was when I issued my first ever snowfall resultant alert like on December 15 or so, and the now famous Paso Robles earthquake struck around December 23. If the severe winter weather conditions are as bad as this from the rockies, to Pennsylvania and etc., then we definitely should watch for the next big major earthquake to strike California in the coming days. Keep in mind that the date of the Great Northridge Quake was January 17, and that was originally also the day that I discovered all of this stuff about how earthquakes work, by checking the old newspapers from the days before the Northridge earthquake and discovering that it was preceded by severe winter conditions. Possibly conditions similar to those outside of the front door of my moms house here in Wisconsin right now as I am writing this.
So, let us watch now for a major earthquake of around 6.4 to 7.6 Richters and let me guess exactly 7.1 Richters Magnitude; West Coast.; Be Prepared!!!

Sincerely,
The EQ Alert Guy
