Because I think Dutchsinse is not talking stupid ! http://dutchsinse.com/4302015-volcanic-eruption-off-west-coast-united-states-oregon-undersea-volcano-now-erupting/ - http://dutchsinse.com/4302015-volcanic-eruption-off-west-coast-united-states-oregon-undersea-volcano-now-erupting/

If it turns out he was incorrect (and my postings turn out to be too) I can live with it ! I hope he is wrong-I am not waiting for (Japan) an other earthquake M8,5-M9,5 in West Pacific !

In the America's Peru-Nicaragua-region, western Canada and several parts of US M5. Also further build-up like in 2011 in Asia (Sumatra-Indonesia Philipines Japan)

I sure hope he is wrong !

Ok, so how do we prep for volcanoes? I figure I would need shovels to keep the ash off the roof, tape and plastic inside the house over the windows and doors. Plenty of water...the first thing to store up as soon as you know an ash cloud is coming. Any other suggestions?

As far as earthquakes...oh well hope the house stands and is good!!

When you live near an active vulcano you might consider moving elsewere ? In Naples Italy people are paid by the government to move away from Vesuvius-volcano.

Albert, I think there are similarities between pandemics and geological events. History shows both are frequent visitors ! It is not "if" but "when"they strike. Of course we are in the middle of several "pandemics", HIV/Aids, tuberculosis, malaria etc. 

The combination of war/disaster with an illness (like in Haïti after the earthquake in 2010-M7 with cholera from peace-keepers from Nepal being blamed. The cholera-virus was the same as present in Nepal and might have arrived in Haïti by contaminated mail) can create a pandemic. 

Human behaviour makes things worse (Spanish flu at least spread by military parades and movements in 1918-if it was not a bio-weapon out of control from possibly a lot of countries that were looking after bio-weapons ).

Also now in Nepal the "disaster-after-the-disaster"will be all kind of illness.

Interesting, he said California would have an Earthquake between May 2nd - May 5th of 7.0?

We (Los Angeles area) just had a 3.9 this morning.  This guy is on it. Let's hope he was a little off on the 7.0 by May 5th and this was the one.  Still quite remarkable.

The unrest in southern Europe may result in unrest (M4+) in NW Europe when I follow his reasoning. UK. BeNeLux, France or Germany getting an earthquake in may ?

Also global, worldwide, a lot of things on the move ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwmDjU8FYqU - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwmDjU8FYqU   and https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpPGJXgbwBmkIp291W0PCMw - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpPGJXgbwBmkIp291W0PCMw I am concerned about any major earthquake in Japan. It could mean lots of nuclear further damage. A tsunami from Japan could send radioactive debris high speed across the planet. http://fukushima-diary.com/2015/05/increasing-volcanic-earthquake-and-inflation-of-the-volcanic-edifice-observed-in-mt-hakone-measured/ - http://fukushima-diary.com/2015/05/increasing-volcanic-earthquake-and-inflation-of-the-volcanic-edifice-observed-in-mt-hakone-measured/ and http://fukushima-diary.com/2015/05/fukushima-prefectural-government-warned-volcanic-gas-density-jumped-up-over-double-in-mt-azumasan/ - http://fukushima-diary.com/2015/05/fukushima-prefectural-government-warned-volcanic-gas-density-jumped-up-over-double-in-mt-azumasan/

For the US, and elsewere, nuclear powerplans, dams, increase the dangers of a major earthquake. 

I was trying to get some statistics to see if, statisticly, there is an increase in earthquakes worldwide. The USGS database on its website is not very helpfull in getting that clear. But when you look at the "big events" (M8, M9) it seems to me there is an increase. That increase might be related to global warming, melting of frozen grouds, decrease of stability. 

I hope that, when there is an increase in geo-activity, things calm down and damage remains limited.

That increase might be related to global warming, melting of frozen grouds, decrease of stability.

Here is a different explanation

Matthew 24:6-8   King James Version (KJV)

And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.

All these are the beginning of sorrows.

I did take another look at Dutchsinse his forecast for the week may 1-8. At minute 6 he is expecting major movement in the Philipines-Viet Nam. There were two 5.1 quakes and a 5.9 more or less in the area described. 

At minute 9 he is expecting compensation movement from Nepal towards Turkey/Italy. There was a 4.7 in Greece, some other movement 4+ in Croatia, Turkey. But that is not unusual in that area. 

At minute 13 for the US 4+ movement central and California. There was a 3.8 in California, a 4.2 in Michigan (as was predicted min.18.40). In the B.C. Vancouver area he expected at least a 5.0 event, turns out to be the 3.7 in Washington-state. 

Minute 17 expected 5+ in Peru-Nicaragua area. There was a 4.8 in Guatamala, two 4,7 in Colombia and Peru. 

After this Dutchsinse speaks of build-up for major movement like in 2011. Another mega-quake 9+ for Japan within a few months ? At 21.30 the 7.2(downgraded 6.8) at P.N.G. wich he correctly predicted. And he links that to earlier deep movement around Fiji. 

Putting it all together does Dutchsinse convince me ? I think he makes more sense in predicting futere quakes than some other people. There is some logics in it. The coming days might proof him to more correct than he would like to be (also about increasing volcanic activity in California http://dutchsinse.com/5082015-dormant-supervolcano-in-california-shows-movement-below-sign-of-california-pressure/ - http://dutchsinse.com/5082015-dormant-supervolcano-in-california-shows-movement-below-sign-of-california-pressure/

Earthquakes, pressures, is very complicated. Just like other "big events" pandemics, ice-ages, tornado's, earthquakes keep happening around the globe. Dutchsinse forecast might be better than looking at USGS for the last week to see what the coming week might bring. But sometimes they might look quite similar !

M9 in P.N.G. ? The M9 Japan earthquake of march 11- 2011 had a prelude there from several M6-7 two days before the M9 in the same area. The day before (march 10) the M9 struck Japan there was a deep 6.5 quake in the Bali-sea (Indonesia at 510.6 km deep).

On the other hand volcano-activity is developing fast in Japan http://dutchsinse.com/5082015-eleven-large-volcanic-eruptions-in-1-days-time-south-japan-at-sakurajima-volcano/ - http://dutchsinse.com/5082015-eleven-large-volcanic-eruptions-in-1-days-time-south-japan-at-sakurajima-volcano/  and   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BVf9pEcBMA - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BVf9pEcBMA

The december 26-2004 M9 Sumatra earthquake saw two deep M5.8's in the Fiji region (dec 17 at  593 km and dec 24 at 614,5 km and a 5,8 at Tonga dec 20 at 227.8 km)

Dutchsinse.com keeps predicting a large earthquake for the west-pacific. The Japan-6.8 might be a for-shock. There was a M4.5 at a depth of 418.7 km near Wallis and Futuna. That might lead to a major (8+) quake to the north-west of that location. That means Papua-New Guinea-Japan area this week.

http://fukushima-diary.com/ - http://fukushima-diary.com/ might be interesting to follow. Before the last 6.8 quake volcanic activity increased at Mt. Hakone. Also temperatures going up in reactor-2 Fukushima. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Hio-VDWG2o - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Hio-VDWG2o  and https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQHopfPwfFjn37JgO1l-axg - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQHopfPwfFjn37JgO1l-axg

There is a pdf, "The Largest Earthquakes We Should Prepare For-Fuji Press" it is from 2014 and an evaluation from the M9 2011 quake. A M10 quake would last over 10 minutes, a M11 quake would mean seismic activity over a fault-line from Alaska to New Zealand-20.000 km and movement over 500 meters. It is impossible to measure and would be "very dramatic". 

One of the many problems in these calculations is how much movement is possible at great depths. The deeper the movement the larger a possible magnitude. 

You do not need a collision with an asteroid the have a M10+, movements in the earth itself, plates colliding or volcanic, might produce M10+ quakes. Such an event would change conditions on earth for a very long time. Maybe some people in bunkers might survive such an event but will find out that earth has turned into another planet years later.

Am I right in thinking the largest ever recorded earthquake on earth was a 9.5 in Chile in 1960. Is it possible to have a larger earthquake?

We've had a lot of felt earthquakes here in NZ in the last few weeks. NZ gets dozens of quakes every day but most are not felt by anyone. Of course we are expecting the Alpine Fault to rupture at any moment. It last went 297 years ago in 1717 and it's return time is 300 years + or - 30 years. According to the probability experts, it is more likely to rupture this afternoon than tomorrow morning. It is expected to be an 8.2 or larger.

Flumom, I hope it does rupture, and while I'm young enough to enjoy it. I studied the Alpine Fault in a short course at the local university and find the whole thing fascinating. It's a fact of life in New Zealand that you get earthquakes. I don't think you ever get over the feeling of awe at the power of nature. 

The biggest quake I've been through was a 7.1 and it shook our whole house not just side to side, but up and down as well. How much power is needed to move an entire landmass. It was an amazing feeling and I didn't feel frightened until afterwards and we were scrambling to get out of the house at 4.35am in case another larger one came. There was so much movement that I was being thrown up and down on the bed, for about 45 seconds.

In the Feb 11 quake that killed 180 people in Christchurch, they pulled out the body of a young woman and her baby. She had been pushing her pushchair along Colombo Street and the parapets above smashed through the verandah and killed them both. It was exactly where I used to shop, near all the second hand bookshops and even now I think there, but for the grace of God, go I. It so easily could have been me and one of my babies. It's a sobering thought.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historical_earthquakes - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historical_earthquakes in the 19th century a 9,2 9 (aprox) 1833 Sumatra and a 9.0 1868 Chili. That seem to be the spots for severe earthquakes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_earthquakes#Largest_earthquakes_by_magnitude - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_earthquakes#Largest_earthquakes_by_magnitude
In 1952 at Kamchatka (eastern Russia) there also was a 9.0. But the Valdivia-Chili-1960 earthquake with a 9.5 (or 9.6 ?) was the biggest quake in recent history. 

Both the Alaska 1964 and Chili 1960 quake caused a tsunami but still the number of people died was limited. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_natural_disasters_by_death_toll#Earthquakes - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_natural_disasters_by_death_toll#Earthquakes

The 1935 Richterscale http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richter_magnitude_scale - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richter_magnitude_scale is based on formula and makes some statistics possible. A meteor-strike at Yucatan 65 milion years ago had a M 13. 

Here in the Netherlands earthquakes are not very common, but I experienced a 4.5 in 2011. In 1992 we had a 5.8 but I was sleeping at that moment.....

In theory earth can produce bigger than M9.5 is possible, a M10+ is very unlikely.

Josh, I had one of my beehives open on the morning of the 6.3 quake that killed 180 people in my local city. It was about 2 hours before the quake and I noticed that they were behaving oddly, and flying very low to the ground. I actually mentioned their odd behaviour to my family. And not just around the hive, as I walked back to the house I noticed they were all flying below knee height.

Then a month or so later I had a hive open when an earthquake struck. I was working the hive as normal when suddenly the bees started buzzing very loudly. There was no reason for it, the sun was shining, it was a warm day, I hadn't knocked the hive or dropped a frame but they became very aggressive very quickly so I started to put the hive back together. A minute or two later I heard a quake coming and stood still hugging the hive as it was a large hive of 5 or 6 supers and the last thing I want to happen is for it to fall over on me. 

The second the quake passed the bees calmed down. 

I also know of a local farmer who was outside on the morning of our first big quake (a 7.1 in Sept 10). He was about to milk his dairy herd and noticed that even though it was pitch black outside, all the birds were singing. And I mean all, it was very loud. Then they suddenly stopped. A moment or two later he saw multiple flashes of light but they were coming up from the ground around his farm, not down from the sky like lightning. A minute later the big quake hit. These flashes of light were static electricity.

There were a few people out and about just before that quake and a number of people reported the birdsong and the flashes. 

I was deeply asleep when the quake struck, but something woke my husband and he heard it coming. He rushed through to our boys room  and spent the duration holding their bunk beds hard against the wall. 

I've been leading a cow when an earthquake came and she paid no attention to it at all.

KiwiMum, I think animals might be able to pick up signals that humans mis. We take our way of looking at things as "complete" but in fact most lights and sounds "vibes" simply escapes us because our senses can not pick up those frequencys. 

Animals might work like canarysin mines, an early warning system. We should listen better to animals !

Spot on Josh, but I think the signals are detectable to our sense organs: it is our brains which miss them.  We humans are so wrapped up in our world's obvious side we fail to spot the little clues.  

Just before noticeable seismic activity our cats all start quarreling and hubby and I start having dizzy spells.  But, it took us over a decade to put the clues together.  Now, whilst sitting on my behind and watching the umpteenth cat-fight, I am wont to say: "I wonder which poor s**s are due a quake this time?"  Evolution dictates that those wild animals who alter their behaviour according to the tiny, quiet signals are the ones more likely to live long enough to breed. Which is why it is more common in wild animals. 

This does not apply to us for whom the dictates of civilization swamp the instinctive responses (over 10 years is not a good survival response time) or those for whom the evolutionary pressures are diverted, just like KiwiMum's cow.

Technophobe, "electrical polution" might block signals coming from the earth. Dutchsinse is expecting a "megaquake m8+" still building up. I expect such a quake NW of Fiji were there is a proces of deep (more than 100 kilometres) quakes. But the area might be Papua New Guinea, Indonesia, Japan and even north from there (Kamchatka-Alaska ?).

Recent events along the North American Pacific coast indicate also increase of pressure there. When hole plates start to move that will result in more quakes south of the first "wave". The southern region in Chile has a history of very strong quakes which were the follow-ups of earlier movements more north-west. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1960_Valdivia_earthquake - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1960_Valdivia_earthquake

The first  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1960_Concepci%C3%B3n_earthquake - Concepción earthquake  was at 06:02  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTC-4 - UTC-4  on 21 May 1960. Its epicenter was near  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curanilahue - Curanilahue . Telecommunications to southern Chile were cut off and President  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jorge_Alessandri - Jorge Alessandri  cancelled the traditional ceremony of the  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Iquique - Battle of Iquique  memorial holiday to oversee the emergency assistance efforts. The second and third Concepción earthquakes occurred the next day at 06:32 UTC-4 and14:55 UTC-4, on 22 May. These earthquakes formed a southward migrating  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreshock - foreshock  sequence to the main Valdivia shock, which occurred just 15 minutes after the third event. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1960_Valdivia_earthquake#cite_note-Barrientos-6 - [6]

USGS has a search option and when you look at developments from april 1 to may 23 1960 you can see a "ballet"of quakes resulting in a "crescendo" in southern Chile from may 21.

West coast United States showing multiple dormant volcano earthquakes , as well as a new pipeline rupture along the coast of Santa Barbara (South California).

Internationally, mainly focusing a new look on Taiwan, keep watch South of Japan going into North Philippines.

Now we're on serious watch along the Coast of the Pacific Northwest , Washington State to BC... since it did NOT move this past week as expected.

We are now watching SOUTH of Baja California near Mexico City for a possible large earthquake, sure hope I'm wrong on that.

Turkey and Greece.. keep watch for 6.0M+ earthquake activity.

New volcanic eruptions should pop off in Chile again.. and a large earthquake should strike Colombia into Panama (above 6.0M)

East coast United States now needs to be on SERIOUS watch for either a swarm of earthquakes , or a single larger event from Virginia North along the edge of the Craton to South Quebec / New Brunswick. Could either be a series of smaller swarms, or a single event that gets everyones attention (above 4.0M).

Texas.. Oklahoma, Kansas.... you can expect the swarms to spread across the Texas craton edge... Oklahoma + Kansas.. due for mid-upper 4.0M earthquakes that should shake everything up. Keep watch.

Dutchsinse issues a major warning for West Canada and California/North Mexico. Pressure release might come in "smaller events" or "major (M6+) events". Also warnings for west pacific, Turkey/Greece, Nepal. 

The last week forcast for UK/Benelux in my opinion was correct. What did change in his expectations is increasing risks for the west-pacific-coast on North America. 

The point of warning people is that that warning should motivate them to think what is good preparation. California has a problem with drinking water. A major event will worsen that situation dramaticly. I hope Dutchsinse is wrong !

A magnitude 5.4 earthquake struck Nevada on Friday close to the small town of Caliente, northeast of the tourist hub of Las Vegas, the U.S. Geological Survey said.

It said the epicenter of the quake, which was quite shallow at a depth of only 12 miles (19.4 km), was 24 miles from Caliente, a town of just over 1,000 people, close to the border with Utah.

A dispatcher with the Lincoln County Sheriff's Department, near the quake's epicenter, said it had been felt widely across the county, but that there were no immediate reports of damage.

The quake, which the USGS said was followed less than 20 minutes later by a smaller 3.8 magnitude temblor, could be felt as far away as Las Vegas, about 100 miles to the southwest.

These strange earthquakes were predicted in the Bible

Matthew 24 King James Version (KJV)

24 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.

And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?

And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.

For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.

The past 24-48 hours (up to 200am CDT May 23, 2015) has seen a serious uptick in earthquake unrest.

The unrest has spread to multiple locations including several rare areas which don’t normally see noteworthy movement, such as the M4.0 which just http://dutchsinse.com/5212015-rare-4-0-magnitude-earthquake-strikes-south-england-along-the-english-channel/ -  struck South England (along the English channel) , or the 5.4 magnitude earthquake  http://dutchsinse.com/5222015-extremely-rare-5-4-magnitude-earthquake-strike-south-nevada/ - which struck near Las Vegas Nevada .

In addition to the rare movement in Nevada, and the UK, a large borderline  http://dutchsinse.com/5222015-6-9-magnitude-earthquake-strikes-near-papua-new-guinea-forecast-area-hit/ - 7.0M struck near Papua New Guinea , as well as additional movement across the  http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/us10002bcs#general_summary - Philippines ,  http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/us10002bd8#general_summary - South Japan , and the http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/us10002b6x#general_summary - coast of China .

This is a tremendous amount of activity to see in one 24 hour time period.

The areas which have seen movement need to be on watch for additional nearby activity, in the case of Nevada we should be watching the West coast for movement in the watch zones over the next 5-6 days.

After a 6.3 quake in the southern Mid-Atlantic Ridge http://dutchsinse.com/5242015-global-earthquake-unrest-continues-rare-6-3-magnitude-along-the-mid-atlantic-ridge/ - http://dutchsinse.com/5242015-global-earthquake-unrest-continues-rare-6-3-magnitude-along-the-mid-atlantic-ridge/ I notice an increase in activity in the southern hemisphere. Were Dutchsinse thinks pressure is coming from the east (African plate due to quakes in Nepal, Fiji, Papua New Guinea) I wonder if there is increased pressure from the pacific-plate on South America (Chili saw an increase of quakes) resulting in increase of pressure (also) from the west in the South Atlantic. Increase from both sides proberbly...Chili has a bad history of strong quakes.

On the other side still lots of quakes in Asia http://dutchsinse.com/5232015-mount-hakone-in-japan-hasnt-erupted-in-over-800-years-ground-rising-steaming/ - http://dutchsinse.com/5232015-mount-hakone-in-japan-hasnt-erupted-in-over-800-years-ground-rising-steaming/ and Nepal, Papua New Guinea, Fiji-area. 

I get the impression that the pacific-plate is "turning anti-clockwise" increasing pressure from the south on Alaska, increasing pressure from the pacific on Asia (Kamchatka, Japan, Taiwan/China, Phillipines, Indonesia) from the north on New Zealand-area and also from the pacific onthe Americas. 

The timing of release of energy, pressure, is difficult to tell. But one quake could trigger a chain of reactions, domino-effect.

http://171.66.125.217/content/75/3/368.short - http://171.66.125.217/content/75/3/368.short  

This paper is an update of a 1970 publication, “Major Earthquakes and Tsunamis in Chile” (Lomnitz, 1970), which appeared in the Geologische Rundschau, now International Journal of Earth Sciences. The reference has always been hard to find and in recent years has become almost impossible to locate. Additionally, the database was overdue for revision in light of more recent results.

The earlier conclusion of the paper, that “Chile emerges as perhaps the most highly seismic region in the world, with the possible exception of Japan”, still stands. One might add that Chilean earthquakes have provided data for important historical advances in the Earth sciences. For example, the 1835 earthquake in southern Chile was described by Darwin (1845) and has provided the earliest reliable observations of geodetic uplift along a subduction zone. The 1960 Chile earthquake (Mw 9.5), possibly the largest earthquake in world history, continues to provide invaluable data and challenges for research. Tectonic changes in the coastal morphology of Chile may well be unique (Lomnitz, 1969). As part of a 5,000-km subduction system and with a subduction rate of more than 7 cm/year, Chile is located atop one of the most highly active subduction zones in the world.

Available information on the history of earthquakes in Chile is limited. This is partly due to the nature of the terrain. The northern part of Chile is a desert, where rain falls about once every 25 years. The southern part is extremely rainy and is covered with a dense rain forest. Farther south along the coast one finds glaciers. The country is also wedged between the Pacific Ocean and the Andes Mountains. With the exception of a few scattered ports, most of the population lives in a narrow longitudinal valley between latitudes 32° and 45° south.

The strongest earthquake in the US (excluding Alaska) may have been the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1700_Cascadia_earthquake - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1700_Cascadia_earthquake with a magnitude between 8.7 and 9.2, january 1700.

The 1906 San Francisco quake http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1906_San_Francisco_earthquake - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1906_San_Francisco_earthquake had a magnitude of 7.9. The biggest danger for the US in earthquake-terms is more north, Washington/Pacific: Recent findings conclude that the Cascadia subduction zone is more complex and volatile than previously believed. In 2010 geologists predicted a 37 percent chance of an M8.2+ event within 50 years, and a 10 to 15 percent chance that the entire Cascadia subduction zone will rupture with an M9+ event within the same time frame. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1700_Cascadia_earthquake#cite_note-7 - [7]  Geologists have also determined the Pacific Northwest is not prepared for such a colossal quake. The tsunami produced could reach heights of 80 to 100 feet (24 to 30 m). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1700_Cascadia_earthquake#cite_note-8 - [8]

Strongest Chili-quakes http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_earthquakes_in_Chile - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_earthquakes_in_Chile

Simply looking at the list of Chili the number of M8+ is clear. The southern part of Chili is not much populated, the major danger global would be the tsunami that will be the result of that quake !

The US (ex Alaska) had 4 M8(+), Japan 21 M8(+), Chili had 27  M8(+) in the past. Alaska had 5 M8(+). See also this http://quakehunters.blogspot.nl/2014/04/magnitude-82-earthquake-north-of.html - http://quakehunters.blogspot.nl/2014/04/magnitude-82-earthquake-north-of.html  and http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S027737911300139X - http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S027737911300139X

When I look at the USGS-page since 1900 Chili had 10 M8<, Mexico  had 4, Alaska had 8 (different from wiki-list !), Japan 10, Indonesia 9, New Zealand-region 4, Papua New Guinea, Solomon-Islands, Samoa 11. 

This does not mean that there is no earthquake risk for the US but looking at history the chance of such a quake being M8+ are small. Also increase of quakes/volcanic activity can be explainde both ways; build up of pressure or release of pressure. Dutchsinse in his info is giving a lot of attention to Japan volcano's but some of them have been on watch since 2012 !

Also there is not a realistic "norm" for the number of quakes, volcanic activity. There are statistics, but one might claim that sometimes there is an increase, other times decrease of that activity. 

May 28 super-quake in California is not "science" but might be promotion for a movie being released ?

The deep a https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=422&v=6N8JU2ep8H4 - sthenosphere earthquake which struck near Japan before the Nepal earthquake  was a 5.0M event….. the current deep earthquake is a 5.2M.   We may need to place the area to the West / Northwest of this new deep earthquake on alert for a shallow larger event in the near term.

This means a new alert should be issued now for the areas adjacent to the deep movement.  Please keep watch in Nepal going into China/Russia border regions for a possible larger earthquake.  I wouldn’t rule out North India either.

Next 3-5 days should tell the tale if this deep Japan earthquake causes movement to the West of it (India / Nepal / China / Russia region).

Epicenter Iquique

This earthquake is caused due to the interaction between the giant tectonic masses called Nazca and South American plate , which imperceptibly remain in an eternal dance in a titanic struggle . The Nazca plate is going beneath the South American one and this lustful symbiosis, gives origin to the vast and beautiful American continent.

The orography of our continent has been sculpted through this cyclopean pugilism , is important to remember that Nazca moves with a lightness of 6.5 mm / year, precisely against his antagonist , the South American plate does the same in the opposite direction with a lightness of 7.5 mm / year.

I have fought strongly against the term “seismic swarm” because it doesn’t describe the mechanism of the fault rupture. To determine that we are facing a premonitory earthquake, there must be a coordinated and related hypocenters, the analysis should conclude that there is a spatial and temporary correlation. If this corelation exists , we can infere that the tremors could be premonitors .

On April 16, there was an earthquake of Mag. 6.7, escorted by 60 earthquakes greater than Mag. 4 and 25 earthquakes grater than Mag 5 .  Then, on 17th , then 22nd , then 23rd, there were earthquakes higher than Mag 6.2, each of these days.  According to the information provided by the USGS, the hypocenters migrated to the north, and coincidentally the strongest earthquake of April 1st, was the northernmost too . After the big earthquake, the region continues moving, there was  a  Mag 7.6 earthquake on the 3rd of April.

From Dutchsinse on Facebook: 

A dramatic silencing off of earthquakes has occurred in a short amount of time (past 24 hours).

Forecast expires early on the 28th.. just a few more hours left in the forecast from the 21st.

Scroll down on my wall for a recap of events this past week ... out of the 12 areas named, again.. 9 areas were hit.

3 same areas did NOT move ... same goes for the previous forecast.

Thus.. Vancouver BC, Philippines/Taiwan, and Mexico.. still silent... to me, this is not a "good" thing.. since there should be some movement at these locations.. instead NOTHING.

Rather, the areas adjacent to each area which did NOT move all showed excessive activity. For instance, the whole of the West coast moved between both watch points with multiple 4.0M+ earthquakes at SEVERAL dormant volcanoes.

I was watching Baja California (South California ) for a near 6.0M event.. instead Las Vegas (South Nevada) was hit by a 5.4m and multiple events at a dormant volcano.

Just one state over from the expected area, we saw the expected movement (5.4M). Somewhat of a hit on the forecast zone, but still no movement near Mexico city like expected.

A new eruption in Central / South America at the Galapagos, and an noteworthy earthquake struck at San Pedro volcano in Chile.. now reports of a possible eruption coming in Chile... just as expected.

We are still watching Nepal for possible large movement for an additional 2 days beyond today (due to the deep Japan earthquake from 2 days ago).

Overall, the movement this past week was very noteworthy.. 4.0M in England... 4.7M in Kansas... 5.4M in Nevada... multiple 6.8M in Papua New Guinea.. noteworthy earthquake in South Japan (downtown Tokyo).. major activity at mount Hakone near Tokyo, several 4.0M up the West coast of California/Oregon .. several earthquakes at dormant volcanoes in the United States... several East coast earthquakes in Quebec, Maine, and New Hampshire... earthquakes in Turkey near the Caspian Sea... mid-atlantic ridge movement South of the Canary Islands (6.3M + swarm), and a swarm of events in South Europe / Greece (multiple 4.0M to 5.0M ).

Again, no movement at all near Vancouver, North Philippines, or near Mexico City.... still a few hours left before the full 7 days is up.

Will have a new forecast and recap of the past week video out by tomorrow AM.

In my opinion Dutchsinse has credibility, he admits that his expectations are sometimes not correct. I did not study his predictions in every detail but what he is claiming in my opinion is just as correct as weatherforcasts. And for earthquekes and volcanic activity that is very good. 

On the other hand you have to ask what is a "normal pattern" of earthquakes. On https://seismicenergy.wordpress.com/2014/04/30/the-seismic-behavior-of-the-planet-in-april/ - https://seismicenergy.wordpress.com/2014/04/30/the-seismic-behavior-of-the-planet-in-april/ a blogger from Chili evaluates April 2015 and Chili had an 8+ earthquake. When I want to warn people for "strong earthquake" what do I mean (and how long should that warning stand, have a use) ? 

My warning is based on several facts; eventhough Dutchsinse forecasts started it later developments convinced me he may have a point. "Reality-check" has to be a basic thing when you give a warning (for earthquakes, pandemics etc.) Commercial interests, the release of a movie, that profit from some "hysteria" over earthquakes can encourage people to come up with less realistic stories. 

Again, looking at historical facts and geological information Chili and Japan run the major mega-earthquake risk. Alaska and maybe even Turkey/Greece Indonesia/Philipines and New Zealand run more risk that the "home of western movie culture"California. For the US the 1700 megaquake was for the coast of Washington/Oregon. The 1906 San Francisco quake was a 7.8 and the fire that came after the quake might have been the major disaster. The 1989 quake had a magnitude of 6.9.

Following up this article.. Expansion accelerated in Mt. Hakone / Ground uplifted 8cm in recent 9 days [ http://fukushima-diary.com/2015/05/expansion-accelerated-in-mt-hakone-ground-uplifted-8cm-in-recent-9-days/ - URL ]

 

On 5/26/2015, Meteorological Research Institute announced they are going to observe the underground temperature of Mt. Hakone.

From 5/27/2015, they are going to implement terrestrial magnetism observation at 3 points around the north of the crater. The observation will be repeated every 2 weeks.

 

The research institute states the stones and rocks lose magnetism when the temperature goes over 300 〜 400℃ so they may be able to know the temperature increase by observing terrestrial magnetism.

Hot Springs Research Institute of Kanagawa Prefecture is going to collaborate with the research institute.

Yamasato, the manager of volcanic research department commented the diastrophism is assumed to be occurring in the shallow area. It is needed to observe the change in temperature.

From facebook Dutchsinse: https://www.facebook.com/DutchsinseOfficial - https://www.facebook.com/DutchsinseOfficial

Past 24 hours of earthquake activity shows that the WHOLE of the West Pacific has moved on at least a 4.0M level ...

The rapid silencing off is now being followed by plate movement across a vast area all at near the same depth along the edge of the Pacific plate.

These multiple 4.0M+ earthquakes possibly indicate near term larger movement coming in the region.

Seeing these all pop off after a bit of silence, all at near the same depth.. means things are now on the move again.

As many of you may have heard, there was some kind of prediction made by a guy for a large earthquake TODAY at 4pm... I'll take that warning with a grain of salt, but it is worth watching today and tomorrow for some kind of noteworthy movement due to this new widespread "adjustment' we see taking place.

The movement at a shallow depth should be no surprise after the cluster of deep events which occurred 2-3 days ago.

If you look at this graphic showing the 4.0M+ earthquakes over the past 24 hours (up to May 28, 2015 - 700am CDT), you can see the evenly spaced earthquakes spanning the whole of the West Pacific. In the past, when we see something like this.. it results in a larger earthquake in the silent area between the multiple events.

Things are getting complicated... swarms, then silence.. now a whole region moves over a short time... any force capable of moving a region this size is a force which will cause GREATER movement when the smaller movement cannot handle the pressure coming from below.

The pressure is certainly coming from below as revealed by the deep earthquakes which precede these larger, and widespread earthquakes which are occurring at a much shallower level.

Only problem USGS did not mention it, ESMC withdrew the information. 

The Northern California earthquake directly  http://dutchsinse.com/5292015-large-6-8m-earthquake-strikes-alaska-major-international-unrest-showing/ - followed an even larger 6.8M which struck just minutes before  off the coast of Alaska.

The Alaska earthquake was  http://dutchsinse.com/5282015-major-eruption-in-south-japan-pyroclastic-flows-reached-main-islands/ - just a few hours after a large unexpected volcanic blast from a volcano in South Japan .  The Japan blast, the Alaska earthquake, and this California earthquake all occurred within less than 12 hours time.

A strong earthquake has struck in a remote region off the Alaska coast, but officials say there is no tsunami threat or immediate reports of damage.

The U.S. Geological Survey says the magnitude-6.7 quake struck at 11 p.m. Thursday and was centered in the ocean about 35 miles beneath the seabed and some 400 miles southwest of Anchorage. It hit a remote and lightly populated Aleutian Island region.

Officials say the temblor was felt on the Alaska Peninsula and Kodiak Island, more than 100 miles away.

The police dispatch office in Kodiak says the quake was felt at the station, but it received no reports of damage.

The National Tsunami Warning Center says there is no tsunami danger.

The USGS says there have been five aftershocks of magnitude-3.0 or greater.

Over the past week, multiple dormant volcanoes showed movement across the West coast in California, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington state, as well as earthquakes in South America (Chile) near San Pedro Volcano.

A 5.4M (4.8M revised) struck a dormant volcanic butte near Las Vegas Nevada, and this morning a 6.8M struck the shores of Alaska.

THREE different 6.8M + 6.9M earthquakes struck in Papua New Guinea.

A 4.0M + 3.0M earthquake struck England, and a swarm has struck Turkey in Europe.

_______

Going forward, the areas named in the video are explained fully. We need to watch for the next 7 days in just a few spots globally. Named out Oregon, and Washington state (instead of Vancouver BC)... however don't rule out the Island of Vancouver itself for possible larger movement. The fact that Vancouver has NOT been hit in the past several weeks means the areas just South should move soon.

Keep watch in North California, Oregon, Washington State for possible noteworthy earthquake activity above 5.0M over the next 7 days.

Look near Sumatra / Indonesia for possible large movement above the upper 6.0M range (possibly even larger) over the next 7 days.

Japan should show much larger earthquake activity over the next 7 days, and possibly more news on sudden blasts at not well know volcanoes (Mount Hakone near Tokyo being one possibility that stands out).

Central West Pacific should now watch for large movement near Vanuatu / Fiji / Tonga in the upper 6.0M to possible 7.0M range over the next 7 days.

India should watch South of the previous Nepal epicenter, possibly as far North as the China border. Don't rule out Nepal, but it looks more like India needs to be on watch for a possible event above 6.0M (less than 7.0M) event over the next 7 days.

Further west, still keep watch in Turkey (carrying over from last week) in light of the new swarm of earthquakes that has finally developed in the area we were watching. This could lead to a noteworthy earthquake after a long period of silence. It could be in the 6.0M range, but I don't know if the swarm will take away some of the pressure, thus making it a 5.0M event. The other possibility is that the swarm is a precursor to a LARGER than 6.0M event (hope not!). Keep watch in Turkey into Greece regardless.

Europe, two areas to watch in particular over the next 7 days for movement in the upper 3.0M to lower 4.0M range... North Belgium into Netherlands, possibly as far West as the shored of North France (Normany / English channel).

United States (other than West Coast), next 7 days craton edge WILL move , and it will be noticeable. Fracking operation in Colorado should show back up in the 3.0M+ range, and the Texas operations should really start moving now that the flooding has occurred. Oklahoma, and Kansas should BOTH see greater than 4.0M+ activity. East coast should see movement follow the midwest 4.0M's which should hit over the next few days. The movement on the East coast should either be swarms of small events across multiple states (like we saw this past week), or possibly one single larger event in the Mid-Atlantic states (3.0M )?

South California, Los Angeles should see multiple new events at the fracking operations in the Downtown area North to Coalinga, CA.

New Madrid seismic Zone back in the picture (I live in Missouri, so this effects me personally).. keep watch for possible 3.0M+ or even a low 4.0M event. The chances are fairly low that anything will hit, but still keep watch, the zone is primed for movement along the Missouri , Arkansas, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio region.

Central America, next 7 days watch NORTH of Mexico city near the US border with Texas / Arizona (on the Mexico side) for possible 4.0M+ activity (this includes Baja California to San Diego). Watch South of Mexico for a possible new eruption to hit , seems eruptions are hitting as opposed to large earthquakes recently. Costa Rica, Panama, Nicaragua -- keep watch for new eruptions (or a large earthquake in the 6.0M range if an eruption doesn't hit -- however I'm more expecting an eruption based upon past recent activity).

South America, Argentina through Boliva to the Peru border. Chile is set to show movement again via a volcanic eruption, since we just saw multiple 5.0M strike near San Pedro volcano, we should watch in this region for a new possible eruption.

Volcano explodes off Kyushu, forcing small island to evacuate

KYODO, STAFF REPORT

A volcano exploded Friday morning on sparsely populated Kuchinoerabu Island, sending smoke and ash soaring into the sky above Kagoshima Prefecture and residents fleeing to the safety of nearby Yakushima Island.

The 9:59 a.m. eruption of 626-meter Mount Shindake, the island’s main peak, produced a plume over 9 km high and a pyroclastic flow that reached the shoreline, the Meteorological Agency said.

There was no warning.

“I heard a loud boom and when I looked at the mountains, I saw a gigantic plume rising above,” said a 64-year-old innkeeper who was in her garden at the time.

“I thought I’d be dead if I got caught in the cloud,” she said explaining why she ran to the shelter without any belongings. “There was an eruption last year, but this time the sound was really loud.”

All 137 of Kuchinoerabu’s residents were confirmed safe, including a 72-year-old man who received a forehead burn but was able to walk unaided, the Fire and Disaster Management Agency and local authorities said.

All had been evacuated by ferry, coast guard ship and helicopter to neighboring Yakushima Island by Friday evening, the Yakushima town office said.

Both islands are about 100 km south of Kyushu, but Yakushima is usually reachable only by two ferry routes.

“I have instructed the relevant personnel to do all they can to ensure the safety of the islanders,” Prime Minister Shinzo Abe told reporters.

The prime minister’s office set up a response team at its crisis management center,  while the Japan Coast Guard dispatched a large patrol ship to the area.

While no lava streams had been spotted as of Friday evening, a weather agency official warned of the risk of a second eruption and more pyro­clastic flows, noting that none had reached the more populous Maeda district.

Situated some 100 km off the southern tip of Kyushu, Kuchinoerabu has only about 100 full-time residents. Some believed to have been present at the time were short-term visitors. The prefectural government said 141 people in all, from 78 families, were ordered to evacuate.

The evacuation started after the weather agency raised its alert for the island to 5 — the highest level — from 3, which imposed limits on climbing the volcano.

Friday’s eruption, which unleashed a large ash cloud, created a panic as residents fled with only the barest necessities.

Yukina Masuda who managed to evacuate to a shelter near the top of another peak, Banyagamine, said the eruption was much bigger than last year’s.

“It looks like all of the island’s residents are crammed into this shelter,” she said.

Hiroshi Watanabe, 61, who manages a campsite on adjacent Yakushima, said he learned of the eruption via the local wireless system.

He said the gray fumes released by the volcano soon started spreading and streaming out volcanic ash that reached Yakushima.

“I’m worried about my friend who is a member of a volunteer fire corps on Kuchinoerabu Island,” he said.

Until Friday, the volcano’s most recent eruption had been on Aug. 3 last year. That eruption prompted 87 people, including some individuals visiting on business, to leave the following day.

Experts had recorded unusual activity for about a decade leading up to last year’s eruption, and the latest blast could be a relatively large, prolonged one, said associate professor Ryusuke Imura of Kagoshima University.

Meanwhile, the eruption on Sept. 27 last year of Mount Ontake became Japan’s worst postwar volcanic disaster, claiming dozens of lives near the summit. Fifty-seven people were confirmed dead, but six remain missing, presumed buried under ash and rock.

The hot-spring district of Mount Hakone near Tokyo has risen by up to 15 cm in two weeks this month as sulfurous steam gushes from vents in the mountain’s flank.

Mount Sakurajima, close to Kagoshima, erupted explosively in August 2013, unleashing a plume that was 5 km high. The same mountain had 178 small eruptions in March alone and produced one last week that created a plume 4.3 km high.

Nobuo Geshi of the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology claims Friday’s eruption is the same type as the one seen at Sakurajima but much larger.

Geshi, who heads a group of scientists conducting research on massive eruptions, said it is very similar to the one the island experienced in 1966.

He said it can also be regarded as part of the volcanic activity that continued after the eruption last August.

Geshi pointed out that none of the past cases was a one-off eruption, suggesting the activity may continue for a while.

Kuchinoerabu, located in an area south of Kyushu with a large concentration of active volcanoes, has experienced numerous bouts of volcanic activity since Shindake’s colossal eruption in 1841, which scorched nearby villages and killed many residents.

According to the Meteorological Agency, in 1931 Shindake exploded on its western margin, causing landslides that killed two residents, animals and damaged farms and fields.

Several eruptions between December 1933 and January 1934 burned down a whole village. Eight people were killed and 26 were injured.

Shindake’s volcanic activities continued in the 1960s, resulting in another massive eruption in November 1966 that hurt three people and caused shock waves and pyroclastic flows that hit Kagoshima and Tanegashima Island, one of the Osumi Islands.

The mountain also experienced a small phreatic eruption in September 1980.

Since the 2000s, a large increase in volcanic quakes and tremors has been reported. An expansion at its crater and white fumes were detected in 2008, but one of its most recent eruptions, on Aug. 3, 2014, sent fumes higher than 800 meters.

M8.5 quake rocks Ogasawara Islands, jolting Tokyo and wider Kanto

KYODO, STAFF REPORT

A magnitude-8.5 earthquake struck off the Ogasawara Islands south of Tokyo on Saturday evening, jolting wide parts of the Kanto region and causing moderate tremors in many parts of the archipelago, the Meteorological Agency said.

No tsunami warning was issued by the agency, and no serious injuries or major damage were immediately reported in the Ogasawara chain by local authorities.

In Kawaguchi, Saitama Prefecture, a woman in her 70s sustained a minor injury when dishes fell on top of her head at home. In Minato Ward, Tokyo, a building elevator stopped suddenly, trapping people inside.

The quake, which measured upper-5 on the Japanese seismic intensity scale of 7, occurred at 8:24 p.m. at a depth of 590 km below the seabed west of the Ogasawara chain, the agency said. Given the depth of the epicenter, slow lateral vibrations continued for about a minute.

The Otemachi district in central Tokyo registered an intensity of 4 on the Japanese scale, and many areas in neighboring Kanagawa Prefecture were rocked more violently, according to data released by the agency. The town of Ninomiya, facing Sagami Bay, registered upper-5.

On Chichijima Island in the Ogasawara chain, communities experienced powerful jolts. NHK quoted Yoshiyuki Sasamoto, who runs a local inn, as saying things started to fall from shelves as the tremors continued.

Following the quake, the government quickly set up an emergency task force at the prime minister’s office to assess the situation.

Tokyo Electric Power Co. said no damage had been reported at its Fukushima No. 1 and No. 2 nuclear power stations.

But a power outage briefly affected a combined 600 households in Adachi Ward, Tokyo, and the city of Fujimino, Saitama Prefecture, Tepco reported.

Central Japan Railway Co. and East Japan Railway Co. suspended operations on the Tokaido Shinkansen Line.

In Tokyo, the Yamanote Line and other rail routes were halted for safety checks. NHK footage showed many people stranded at major hub stations, including Shibuya, Shinjuku and Ikebukuro.

“The number of quakes seems to be rising these days, and I’m worried,” said a 34-year-old office worker stuck at Tokyo Station.

A college student who gave up waiting in a long line at a bus stop outside Shibuya Station said he had no choice but to spend the night at a friend’s apartment.

The Tokaido shinkansen and some other lines later resumed operation after safety was confirmed.

Haneda airport in Tokyo temporarily closed its runways for safety checks but resumed services within an hour.

A shallow 6.4 magnitude earthquake has struck the Eastern coast of Japan, approximately 250 miles  http://dutchsinse.com/5302015-very-large-8-5m-earthquake-strikes-near-japan-bonin-islands-7-8m-revised/ - Northeast of the previous 8.5M (7.8 magnitude revised) earthquake which occurred earlier  today .

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwqnTNbJYNM - We were expecting to see  SHALLOW follow up movement strike in an adjacent area from the large deep earthquake this morning due to the  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pbKSkGoCP1M - fact that the deep earthquakes are proved to cause  shallow earthquakes elsewhere nearby.

Just as expected, the area nearby moved at a shallow depth within hours of the deep earthquake.  I expect additional shallow larger movement to occur over this coming week, no doubt this 6.4M is just the first compensation movement we’re seeing.

I think Dutchsinse is good in his prediction on earthquakes (although "science"claims that he has to be even more exact) http://dutchsinse.com/5302015-english-channel-earthquake-forecast-to-occur-a-full-day-before/ - http://dutchsinse.com/5302015-english-channel-earthquake-forecast-to-occur-a-full-day-before/

A rare earthquake struck AGAIN in the English channel, along the shores of North France.

Speaking of rare England earthquakes, on May 11th I issued an earthquake forecast, which called for a 4.0M to strike England within about a week.

On May 21nd (week and a half after the forecast was issued) England was struck by a VERY RARE 4.0M earthquake in the exact area warned, within the magnitude named.

Worthy to note:  We are just on Day 1 of the current 7 day earthquake forecast

The forecast issued on May 29th called for a very large earthquake to strike Japan, and on  http://dutchsinse.com/5302015-very-large-8-5m-earthquake-strikes-near-japan-bonin-islands-7-8m-revised/ - May 30th, Japan was hit with a 7.8M  (8.5M revised) earthquake.  Struck in the area warned, with the expected large earthquake above 7.0M .

The forecast issued on May 29th, also called for 3.0M – 4.0M earthquake activity to strike South Illinois, and on  http://dutchsinse.com/5292015-new-madrid-seismic-zone-illinois-earthquake-3-4-magnitude-hits-forecast-area-directly/ - May 30th, South Illinois was hit with a very rare 3.4M  earthquake.  Struck in the area warned with a very rare earthquake , within the magnitude named.

The forecast issued on May 29th,  also called for 3.0M – 4.0M earthquake activity to strike Kansas, and on  http://the%20forecast%20issued%20on%20may%2029th%20called%20for%20a%20very%20large%20earthquake%20to%20strike%20japan%2C%20and%20on%20may%2030th%2C%20japan%20was%20hit%20with%20a%207.8m%20%288.5m%20revised%29%20earthquake./ - May 30th Kansas was hit by a 3.1M  fracking earthquake.  Struck in the area warned with a rare earthquake, within the magnitude named.

Four quakes he expected the day before became reality. And that is very good when you think of saving lives and damage-controll !

Gepubliceerd op 30 mei 2015

May 30, 2015 - A very large 8.5 magnitude (7.8M revised) earthquake struck the Bonin Island region of Southeast Japan. 

Full website post here:  http://dutchsinse.com/5302015-very-large-8-5m-earthquake-strikes-near-japan-bonin-islands-7-8m-revised/ - http://dutchsinse.com/5302015-very-la...

Worthy to note the depth of the earthquake was over 400 miles... thus no tsunami warnings were issued. The earthquake was located deep in the Asthenosphere, which means we need to watch for shallow LARGER movement in a nearby adjacent area in the next few days.
_______

This movement WAS EXPECTED TO OCCUR. A full warning and forecast was issued for Japan a day before this occurred, warning for large movement to come in the South Japan region in the near term.

See the forecast for Japan here issued May 29, 2015:

Since this quake (M8.5 or 7.8 ???? that is a difference, if the seismologists keep downgrading and denying major quakes how proffesional are they ?) was a very deep one : (Dutchsinse on FB)

It should cause a shallow larger earthquake in an adjacent area if the deep earthquake activity holds true in this large earthquakes case. This is the deepest earthquake I've ever seen, and the LARGEST deepest earthquake I've ever seen... thus .. will it cause a shallow larger earthquake?????? If it is larger than the 8.5M *7.8M then it would be in the 9.0M range in a nearby area this week or so.

5/31/2015 — SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA 4.1M EARTHQUAKE AT SALTON SEA VOLCANO — UNREST SHOWING

A magnitude 4.1 earthquake has struck Southern California at http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/salton-sea-volcano-mystery/ - Salton Sea Volcanic buttes .

Reports are coming in from viewers that this event was felt fairly strong in San Diego, CA.


Seeing a noteworthy earthquake strike  http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/salton-sea-volcano-mystery/ - near an active volcano in Southern California  is a sign of the greater global seismic unrest currently underway.

It would be wise at this point (in light of the other recent Pacific earthquake activity) for the people of the West coast to at least be placed on a “watch” for possible larger movement.

Even if nothing actually ends up hitting, it is  http://news.yahoo.com/japan-vigilant-big-one-powerful-quake-072043084.html - better to do what the Japanese are doing right now , which is warn the population of the possibility of a larger coming earthquake.

Certainly now we can all be on the same page that  http://dutchsinse.com/10222014-global-surge-in-earthquakes-admitted-and-discussed-at-geological-society-meeting/ - there IS a temporary increase in activity taking place  in multiple locations globally, thus warnings should be issued for a general watch for normally earthquake prone areas, and give instructions to have a plan.

Keep in mind that this 4.1M earthquake struck at a location where “professionals” are  http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/news/nation/2011-06-12-volcano-salton-sea_n.htm - concerned about a potential eruption  — Salton Sea Volcano could erupt if earthquake / seismic conditions are right (their words not mine).  The volcano was elevated to “active” status in 2011 based upon some kind of internal USGS technicality.

FluMom, the way I see it biggest danger at present comes from Japan. If Dutchsinse is correct and the M7.8/8.5  600 km deep http://fukushima-diary.com/2015/05/the-epicenter-of-530-quake-was-deep-as-lower-mantle-of-the-earth-deepest-for-m8-class-quakes-since-1900/ - http://fukushima-diary.com/2015/05/the-epicenter-of-530-quake-was-deep-as-lower-mantle-of-the-earth-deepest-for-m8-class-quakes-since-1900/ earthquake will translate in a larger more shallow quake in the short term that does mean big radio-active trouble !

For the US the biggest dangers might be on the coast of Oregon, there was a major earthquake (M8.7/9.2) in 1700 and those quakes reappear everey 300-700 years. 

I am not an expert, even experts do not have many answers. Tsunami's can do a lot of damage, but not in Denver ! A major earthquake in California would effect internet very serious. A major earthquake in the US, Japan has very serious economic consequences. 

For what it is worth, Yellowstone might always be "grumbling"but almost never "bites". I do not agree with Dutchsinse that deep earthquakes always translates to stronger more shallow earthquakes. On the other hand many earthquakes are "overdue". One earthquake could trigger more quakes.

If Yellowstone would erupt that eruption could find an "outlet"via the undersea volcano for the Oregon-pacific coast. Maybe the release of pressure there is a good tingh, decreases the chances for a major earthquake or eruption ? Or is it the prelude for something larger ?)

A comment  on todays North Pole Earthquake; (from gaiayoyo on the youtube-video from Dutchsinse on this Polar-quake) There was a 4.8 at 10 deep March 4 2011 before the Japan quake on March 11 2011. Didn't you say in a recent vid the only thing in the set up we were missing was a north pole quake to look like 2011?

I hope that this time there will be no major earthquake for Japan. That would be a very big (nuclear, economic, enviromental) disaster !!!!

Major earthquake activity for the Oregon-coast. The latest 5.9 (USGS downgraded it from Magnitude 6.0)was stronger than the 5,8 june 1st. On Dutchsinse-facebook people are wondering whether this swarm(8 earthquakes in 24 hours ? USGS is showing 7, Global incindent map 8) of 3.9(+) quakes is an indication for a stronger quake. Also in California yet another volcanic quake http://dutchsinse.com/6012015-volcanic-earthquake-in-south-california-volcano-peak-shows-activity/ - http://dutchsinse.com/6012015-volcanic-earthquake-in-south-california-volcano-peak-shows-activity/

Some noteworthy reactions from Dutchsinse-Facebook: 

  • Daniel Dowty Though it is really close...the volcano that has these earthquakes around it are 312 miles off shore. The Cascadia fault line is about 50 miles off shore. Two entirely different faults. But I do agree the Cascadia fault is over due, records in Japan support these claims.
    https://www.facebook.com/DutchsinseOfficial# -

    Tatiacha Bhodsvatan yep although the cascadia would not have any effect on San Francisco it goes down to around Eureka CA where it meets the San Andreas it is unknown if a big Cascadia could set off a quake on the northern San Andreas or if so in what period of time. They believe the southern end of the Cascadia ruptures more often then the whole of the fault so it is possible to see a big cascadia quake that ruptures from Eureka CA to about Newport Or without the northern part of the fault rupturing, I live in the southern section so I pay close attention

Climate change means pressure on the "plates" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plate_tectonics - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plate_tectonics is being redistributed resulting in more earthquakes and volcanic activity. Droughts might further play a role in volcanic activity ?

The article does not connect climate change to increase in earthquakes, that is my interpretation. But looking at statistics there is a strong correlation between climate change and seismic activity. Other studies do link climate change with earthquakes http://www.rawstory.com/2011/04/climate-can-drive-seismic-shifts-study/ - http://www.rawstory.com/2011/04/climate-can-drive-seismic-shifts-study/  and http://www.carbonbrief.org/blog/2012/06/can-climate-change-cause-earthquakes/ - http://www.carbonbrief.org/blog/2012/06/can-climate-change-cause-earthquakes/  and

I thought this was pretty interesting

Cosmic-solar radiation as the cause of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions

During solar minimum high energy cosmic radiation can penetrate to a very deep distance below the Earth’s surface, in some case a few hundred kilometers. This is the reason why most if not all earthquakes during solar minimum are deep earthquakes. The stress on the Magnetosphere during solar minimum is higher because the Heliosphere is weaker and more high energy charged particles can penetrate the solar system. On the average, the flux of cosmic rays is 20% higher during solar minimum. But, if the Sun, is in its highest position in the galaxy-which is also the time when the Earth would be in its final phase of magnetic field reversal-then the impact of cosmic radiation on both the Heliosphere and Magnetosphere is higher even during solar maximum. At that position the Heliosphere is at its weakest state due to a very intense bombardment from high energy radiations.

After the past month of excessive earthquake activity showing over 20 events above M6.0 over the past 30 days..... the past 3 days saw a dramatic "silencing off" of events, now followed over the past 24 hours (up to June 10, 2015) by a new series of deep earthquakes in Fiji, as well as unrest showing in South America (Chile / Argentina border) with a 6.0M event.

West Pacific showing multiple events as well, including the new large eruption threat at Sinabung Volcano, and Toba super-volcano.

The "domino-theory" in action http://dutchsinse.com/6122015-earthquake-progression-across-6700-miles-in-24-hours-proved/ - http://dutchsinse.com/6122015-earthquake-progression-across-6700-miles-in-24-hours-proved/  There has been debate amongst “professionals” in the fields of Geology, and Seismology as to whether or not earthquakes can cause other earthquakes (elsewhere across a vast distance).Today, June 12 2015, that debate may be coming to an end, and we may begin to see new series of studies built upon today’s events.  I consider this a breakthrough discovery.

What event(s) am I speaking of?

A noteworthy, and rather obvious progression of magnitude 5.2 earthquakes occurred in the West Pacific, spanning over 6,700 miles (10,800km) in just a few hours time.

The earthquake progression began in Tonga with a M6.0 earthquake, which was then followed by three subsequent M5.2 earthquakes which struck a direct line from Tonga to Sumatra Indonesia (Indo-Australian Ridge).

The USGS still claim that the number of earthquakes is not increasing eventhough they can not longer deny that both fracking and climate change (in other words the oil-and gas-industries) are causing an increase in earthquakes. When government and international scientific organizations become to dependent on private financing (wether those "private groups"are oil companies or big pharma) they stop functioning for general interest.

Deep earthquakes both Indonesia latest of three http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/us20002ptz#general_summary - http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/us20002ptz#general_summary ) and (south of) Japan http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/us20002pss#general_summary - http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/us20002pss#general_summary .   
When I follow Dutchsinse in his interpretation deep earthquakes translate in shallow earthquakes with a magnitude +1 or +2 to the north-west. That could mean SE China getting a M6 or M7 in coming days ? (My Dutchjosh-interpretation)

For the US Oklahoma seeing new unrest. http://dutchsinse.com/6142015-large-m4-3-fracking-earthquake-strikes-central-oklahoma-midwest-united-states-california-dormant-volcano-moving/ - http://dutchsinse.com/6142015-large-m4-3-fracking-earthquake-strikes-central-oklahoma-midwest-united-states-california-dormant-volcano-moving/

Dutchsinse:
A noteworthy magnitude 4.3 earthquake has struck a central Oklahoma fracking operation.

This comes on the heels of additional craton movement  http://dutchsinse.com/6142015-whole-north-american-craton-moves-in-24-hours-time-new-madrid-earthquake-swarm/ - which was documented this morning  in another post regarding this current midwest earthquake unrest.

Also, yesterday (June 13 2015) another  http://dutchsinse.com/6132015-rare-m4-0-fracking-earthquake-strikes-western-canada-alberta/ - noteworthy M4.0 earthquake struck a different fracking operation  in Alberta Canada (far to the NW of Oklahoma).

I stopped posting links to Dutchsinse, if people are interested in him they can find him themselves. I do not always agree with Dutchsinse. A "deep-earthquake" (>100km) is not always followed by a larger more shallow quake. 

On the other hand as far as I can see there is an increase in seismic and volcanic activity worldwide that people have to prepare for. 

Looking at history the 1960 M9.6 Chili earthquake may not be the largest kind of quake possible. There will be an increase in M9+ quakes (and the tsunami's that come with that) within years. 

Part of the explanation for the increase in seismic/volcanic activity is proberbly human. From climate change to fracking "we" may have started a proces that is very difficult to control.
