HERE'S MY LATEST EQ TWITTERS!!!
EQ_Alert--I used to give the "All Clear" at times such as NOW, when there are NO really big shakers coming, I don't anymore for obviousreasons! EQ Guy
EQ_Alert--As a general rule there is NO potential major seismic energy anywhere in the world when there have been NO recent big windstorms, so. . .
EQ_Alert--Major Potential, that is! Always be aware just the same that stored energy CAN be released by even a slight amount of seismic energy, but?

EQ Alert; Full Moon!!!!!
Tonight is the night of the full moon and so I am writing today just to remind all my regular readers and bring some new folks up-to-date on the effect the full moon will now have on any potential seismic energy that might be circling the earth. Without going into a detailed explanation of the numbers; it does seem, and has halfway shown just on my watch, that we do seem to witness a larger amount of bigger earthquakes beginning about the three days before the full moon and especially it would seem on the night of it.
This particular full moon will tonight be more critical because there are people in all corners of the world watching for earthquakes and so I feel it is important for me to point out that some full moons can be responsible for higher tides and that the higher tides at the very least apply that much more pressure onto the tectonic plate boundaries and other points of the tectonic plates. This will virtually always increase the chance for seismic energy to be released during some point in the rising of the tide and it’s position at high tide. The added force of high tide can release existing seismic energy.
While keeping track of what I consider to be all the active sources of potential seismic energy, and up to this point today and tonight, I want to now add that there IS NOT a lot of potential seismic energy that remains since you have to admit there has been quite a large amount of seismic activity in the recent days and weeks and so I consider most of that to have been the shakers we were watching for if you read and follow my writing that close. Thusly, while tonight IS the full moon, and that has indicated just in recent months as much as 500 Richters of shakers, tonight there hopefully WILL NOT be anything shaking quite that much and let’s hope for nothing to happen at all!!!
Note that the recent Italy earthquake struck on Day 3 before this here full moon, and I also need to point out that measurements of radon gas such as the seismologist used to predict that earthquake, have been of some use and I actually take them into consideration when watching for major earthquakes to strike. It is also possible that they are directly related to “earthquake clouds” which commonly are being found to precede major earthquakes, there had been some very excellent ones photographed at China immediately preceding the Sichuan earthquake recently as well!!!

Italy Earthquake Had Been Predicted!!! They Didn't Like The Scientist, though!!!!!
Here is a link to this story:

Italy muzzled scientist who foresaw quake

An Italian scientist predicted a major earthquake around L’Aquila weeks before disaster struck the city on Monday, killing dozens of people, but was reported to authorities for spreading panic among the population.
The first tremors in the region were felt in mid-January and continued at regular intervals, creating mounting alarm in the medieval city, about 100 km (60 miles) east of Rome.
Vans with loudspeakers had driven around the town a month ago telling locals to evacuate their houses after seismologist Gioacchino Giuliani predicted a large quake was on the way, prompting the mayor’s anger.
Giuliani, who based his forecast on concentrations of radon gas around seismically active areas, was reported to police for “spreading alarm” and was forced to remove his findings from the Internet.
Italy’s Civil Protection agency held a meeting of the Major Risks Committee, grouping scientists charged with assessing such risks, in L’Aquila on March 31 to reassure the townspeople.
“The tremors being felt by the population are part of a typical sequence … (which is) absolutely normal in a seismic area like the one around L’Aquila,” the civil protection agency said in a statement on the eve of that meeting.

One Alert Ends/The Other Continues!!!!!
The tornado that struck Oklahoma on February 10 with wind speeds estimated at 170mph has as of today been about exactly 50 days ago, or the amount of time that I follow the potential seismic energy from these big storms. While there have been one or two much smaller tornadoes that have struck since then, they did not seem to be as large, with as much damage, and didn’t have the advertised wind speed Oklahoma February 10th had. Therefore, I generally do not spend quite as much time and energy tracking the potential seismic energy from these. Of course you may note that some tornadoes, including the one that struck late last week in my previous entry have still generated significant potential seismic activity, and that I did say 7 Richters. I will leave 7 as the size of one earthquake that we will still watch for through April and for the immediate days and hours we should still primarily watch California and our West Coast, as well as Mexico, Alaska, Central America, and South Carolina.
There are no other current alerts as far as I know. But take note that while the old alert officially ends today, that new one from last week will now continue until about May 10, 2009. It is further my opinion that the present state of shaking happening and concerning folks at different places is probably going to end up being a lot of foreshocks that indicate the ultimate movement of the Pacific Tectonic Plate and that the resulting major earthquake will most likely be along the Indian Ocean/Australian tectonic plate or the Asian Plate after the movement pushes the Pacific plate into those other plates. We should always still be prepared for something just in case.
Thank-You again for reading.

New EQ Alert Blog Entry!!!!!
Hello, I am writing today to let everybody know that there was a fairly bad tornado strike last night in Mississippi and that major tornadoes are one of the things I routinely track that causes major earthquakes. If could get the path the tornado takes on the ground, we would also be able to use it to draw a straight line to almost exactly where this new upcoming earthquake will strike.
Preliminary stuff coming in looks like this should now be around a 7 Richters Magnitude and this one can strike at any time. There was one major tornado that struck Tuscaloosa a few years back and hardly a couple days before an 8.1 Richters earthquake struck China. So let us start watching for this one immediately. I am sorry to say that our West Coast is also about overdue for one of these earthquakes, but I have no other reason other than that they are about the first people in line for this earthquake. Central America, Alaska and Mexico are also first possible spots this new source of potential seismic energy could strike!
Sometimes these earthquakes actually DO strike in like the first several hours and days after a major landfall or tornado or whatever, so be aware that California and our West Coast will be under this unofficial alert for the coming days!!! And Thank-You for reading!!! The EQ Guy

There Was A Major Earthquake Today near Tonga
HERE ARE THE MESSAGES I SENT OUT VIA TWITTER:
There were numerous TSUNAMI WARNINGS issued (IncludngHawaii) after todays 7.9 Richters shaker at Tonga. NO tsunami resulted though. EQ Guy

There was a major earthquake that struck near Tonga, near Fiji out in the Pacific Islands region around noon today our time in the U.S.

Full Moon is Tuesday Night-Alert!!!
The night of the full moon will be March 10 or Tuesday night this week. There has just this morning been some additional damage from tornadoes it looks like in the Illinois area and while exact amounts of damage are not yet in right this minute, let us assume that the night of the full moon will most likely produce some significant amounts of earthquakes.
Up to this point all of these amounts of tornado damage that we have been dealing with have been rather small like I mean compared to the amount of damage from like a hurricane Katrina or a major typhoon or such, therefore I wish to keep the total amount of expected potential seismic energy low as well, say 6.4 Richters Magnitude. While this right now applies mostly to our West Coast and mostly the night before, during, and after the full moon, there will still be potential seismic energy thereafter as well especially if nothing gets released in these coming couple of days.
