December 23 Was The Day of The Paso Robles Earthquake!!!

With December 23 now coming up again very soon, here, i just thought I would send along a reminder that we have been getting and are getting more, somewhat wintery conditions and what seems like to me to be a lot of snow. Therefore now is a good time for me to mention that i did happen to have an alert very similar to this one you are reading, out in the days prior to the Paso Robles Earthquake in 2003!!!

In that alert as well as a couple other similar ones in the days before December 23, I mentioned that a lot of the other major wintertime earthquakes were preceded by the most severe winter conditions including several feet of snow, extreme sub-zero cold, and some high winds. While these conditions do not entirely exist today, we don't seem to have quite as much snow or the persistant sub-zero cold, i thought i should just at least mention that December 23 is coming up so that everybody is aware that there could be a smaller earthquake striking our West Coast. I might say 6 to 7 Richters. Thank-You again for reading!!! The EQ Alert Guy

Small Alert--Severe Winter Conditions

I just got done shoveling a foot of snow up here at my moms house in Wisconsin and figured it is now time to alert the people that "Weight on the Tectonic Plate" can also cause a certain amount of potential seismic energy.

So, just be aware that the weight of a lot of snow alone, depending if they get a lot more on the East Coast, can cause the North American plate to shift towards the San Andreas Fault and probably cause some bumping and grinding out along our West Coast.

Not a real big earthquake at this point, since the Northridge, Kobe, and great Alaska earthquakes, were all preceded by huge winter storms with like about two feet of snow across the whole country. . . this one hasn't been quite that bad. Thank-You for reading!!! EQ Guy

FULL MOON--No Alert!!! ALL CLEAR--Very, Very Soon!!!!!

Yes, I just noticed out the window that tomorrow night will be the night of the full moon!!! So I thought today I should write just this quick reminder that even though there is going to be a full moon situation scheduled for like tomorrow night, actually tonight since it turned over to Wednesday like 12 minutes ago, even though it will be the night of a full moon I do not expect any abnormal amount of seismic energy to strike anywhere.

And as far as the final earthquake alert of the Hurricane-Typhoon season. . . that will be running out between December 9th and December 12th and there's probably no reason to even wait for anything to happen with that either, since we were only talking about winds of 95 mph in the first place and I generally don't begin to track anything until the winds reach 100. Tracked that one basically because the maximum gusts were reported at 115 to 120 mph. All Clear coming at the end of next week, provided no major windstorms do any damage between now and then!

All Clear Coming Up!!! But Not Yet!!!

November 22, 2009

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

Hello,
The final alert from this years summer of 2009 earthquake season is just coming to an end. Today is about the final day of the most recent notable alert, however there is one much smaller one that will continue to run to December. That final one was a windstorm with maximum wind speeds under 100 and only the gusts were over 100 like at around 115 mph, but still just enough for a small alert. If you regularly follow my alerts you already know that isn’t too much to worry about.
Finally, they have begun getting measurable snow out on the West Coast and in the mountains and so this will begin to increase the basic chances of earthquakes shaking out along the West Coast and along the tectonic plate boundary out that way and I suppose this would mean the San Andreas Fault, however not to worry too much about a lot of shaking of that type quite yet, rather watch for more significant major amounts of snowfall out that way as well as across the rest of the USA, then worry. Not yet.
Otherwise this alert is basically fairly much of an all clear, however I quit using the term “All Clear” a few years ago, and there is still that one small windstorm and some snow. Thank-You again for reading!!! The EQ Alert Guy

Continue Watching Lake Tanganyika, Burundi, Columbia and Ecuador

My last Blog entry says that we should watch Lake Tanganyika through November 20, and so I am writing today just to remind everybody that we will continue watching for a fair to medium sized earthquake to strike over along the Mid-African Rift at around the Lake Tanganyika, Burundi, Tanzania Region through November 20, or like through next week, yet.

The other cities mentioned should probably continue beyond next week in the event that this earthquake has not struck yet. Note that there were two five plus earthquakes out at the Macquarie Island region that always tell me the Indian Ocean/Australian Tectonic Plate is moving. In this instance it could either be pushing the Pacific Plate towards North and South America, or the top of that plate could be pushing into those above Africa regions.

We should still watch for this to be around the 6 or 7 Richters range. Thank-You, again for reading. The EQ Guy

Just A Good Medium Sized Shaker Coming, Yet!!! Tanzania, Burundi, Lake Tanganyika, Colombia, Ecuador!

The two latest typhoons have caused just a real small amount of potential seismic energy and I want to make sure that people who follow my blog have this most recent up to date info.

The straight line from the landfall this weekend of Typhoon Kitsama at Taiwan will send a certian amount of potential seismic energy past Andaman and Nicobar Islands, and past Colombo and Sri Lanka where there could be a small 6 or 7 Richters foreshock as a result of that tectonic plate boundary moving slightly as this energy passes on to Africa. I'm guessing the seismic energy won't end there, although sometimes it does you know.

I'm mostly writing today to alert everybody that this line will cross Tanzania and Burundi probably between November 7 and November 20. Lake Tanganyika is directly in the path of this potential seismic energy and you might say that neighborhood is sort of due for some shaking, too!!! Couldn't find a "Shake Map" of that region so the region in general should be aware of this small to medium sized earthquake which will almost for certain strike there, probably not too much larger than 7 Richters Magnitude and in the coming weeks, too.

November 3 will be Day 31 after the landfall of Typhoon Parma and there is a full moon coming up one of these days, too, but the forshock which actually struck right at Taiwan while this typhoon was physically still striking the island, was just a 6.1 and so I'm not thinking too big of an earthquake there. Let's mostly watch Africa!!!

Possibly Coming To Mozambique, Zambia, Jakarta, Lima, and Bolivia, But. . .

Hurricane Rick that was threatening to be so huge and was infact a Cat 5 Hurricane 48 hours ago was downgraded to a Tropical Storm over the night and while it is still heading for the Baja Penninsula, it did strike a volcano island just off the shore of Mexico and could have still generated some seismic energy. Otherwise this would have potentially been a big one for Illinois, Missouri, etc.

In addition to that there is still one source of seismic energy that struck Taiwan around the first part of October and one other one that struck there on September 28 and also there is like a major Super Typhoon heading there right this moment as I am writing!!!

So, today there might be some smaller sources of potential seismic energy still out there and headed specifically for like Turkey and Ukraine, etc. as well as that major windstorm that it probably going to strike Taiwan again in the coming days and hours. If and when that one strikes we will then immediately be watching for more earthquakes of the major type such as the ones that followed that last series of major windstorms!!!

Of course any of these could come to affect our West Coast, but it is still too early to tell on Typhoon Lupit which now looks like it might strike Taiwan in a direction from East-Northeast to West-Southwest which could mean major trouble for somewhere like Mozambique, Zambia, Jakarta, Lima, and Bolivia. It will NO DOUBT cause the Indian Ocean/Australian Tectonic Plate to be moving again!!!!!

Thank-You, again for reading.

Major Earthquake Probably Won't Move Pacific Plate Much

With the major earthquake that struck yesterday at Samoa we do now officially have some sizable movement of the Indian Ocean/Australian Tectonic Plate. There has also been a major one at just south of Sumatra as of early today. These two earthquakes are at about 8.0 and 7.5 respectively if someone doesn't change those exact numbers in the coming days like they do sometimes.

So, while it might otherwise seem that this movement of the tectonic plates might cause the Pacific Tectonic Plate to move, I will not be counting on it on this occasion and am writing today to say that at this time there is likely no major alert for our West Coast any longer. Please do note though that those plates are undergoing a major collision right this moment as I am writing this and as a result of that naturally the Pacific Plate will be jostled at least a small amount, and this will probably cause some small amounts of shaking out at the plate boundary between the Pacific and North American Tectonic Plate.

There have also been one or two additional medium sized windstorms in the recent days that could still produce one or two small to medium sized shakers, but I do not expect these other upcoming much smaller earthquakes to be hardly worth writing about, especially when compared to that major one we have been waiting for if you have been reading my blog lately!!! Thank-You, again for reading!!! EQ Guy

Still A Major Shaker Out There!!!

We will still be watching for the potential seismic energy from the landfall of Hurricane Jimena at Baja California on Sept. 2. Day 30 will be October 3 and Day 40 will be October 12 after that landfall and these are a range of dates when a great deal of these major earthquakes follow after the landfall of a major windstorm such as Jimena was. Although note that there was not a lot of damage reported and strong winds blowing across grass and marsh tends to not generate quite as much seismic energy. Lets still be watching for a 7.5 Richters Magnitude shaker and except I no longer expect this to affect Nepal, Kathmandu, etc, due to the fact that this type of potential seismic energy travels and has by now gone far past that tectonic plate boundary up in that region. As of this morning there was a 6 Richters shaker at Macquarie Island indicating significant movement of the Indian Ocean/Australian Tectonic Plate now increasing the risk of this major earthquake striking our West Coast, California, Mexico, and Central America in the coming week or so. Of course there could be some more additional shaking down in that Australia, Pacific Islands, Java region. Thank-You, again for reading!!! The EQ Alert Guy

MAJOR EQ ALERT CONTINUED!!!!!

MAJOR EQ ALERT CONTINUED!!!!!

The names of towns that are out in front of the potential seismic energy of Hurricane Jimenas landfall at Baja California are Kathmandu, Nepal, and Bharatpur. As the days go past and California has received a large number of what could be foreshocks, I want to say that could be this potential seismic energy passing along to the Pacific Tectonic Plate and it just makes some noise there at the plate boundary, but it is very possible this major earthquake is now moving on and across the Arctic Tectonic Plate, which very well could get some shaking, and directly to the boundary between the Asian, and Indian Ocean/Australian Tectonic Plate.

This Major Alert will now be continuing into October and remember that the potential seismic energy from Typhoon Morakot at Taiwan may still be heading for Turkey, and Santiago Chile at around 6.8 Richters as well and that both of these two upcoming earthquakes are NOT connected to the above shaker heading for that Himalayan Plate Boundary.

Everybody must be aware that BOTH of these two upcoming major earthquakes probably WILL happen and also note that Kathmandu, Nepal, and Bharatpur all fall directly on a straight line of seismic energy and so are the EXACT names of the towns where this earthquake could strike; at around 7.5 Ricters. Of course the seismic energy could always pass between the tectonic plates there and then go on to move the Indio/Australian Plate, which I will cover more later in the month if this alert continues.

Major Earthquake Could Strike California, Nevada, or Washington!!!

I have just checked the exact direction Hurricane Jimena was traveling when it made landfall at Baja California with 125 mph winds and while Los Angeles and San Francisco are slightly to the west of this new straight line, Las Vegas, Utah and the State of Washington are intersected by this line!!!

Just to be on the safe side, obviously, I want California people to realize that this line crosses just across the Colorado River out at Western Riverside County and you should realize that this massive amount of potential seismic energy passing that close to California and especially crossing the San Andreas Fault out there could still be some trouble and at the very least could potentially mean a major shaker out in that desert area around Barstow and Death Valley all the way up to Coalinga and etc. Be watching for this now upcoming Major Earthquake to be as big as 7.3 Richters Magnitude.

We should also be concerned that the spot out on the Peninsula of Baja California where Hurricane Jimena made landfall is a part of the Pacific Tectonic Plate and that the actual plate boundary is out in the Gulf of California there, as a result of this fact these two plates will almost certainly now be moving against one another in a motion quite similar to how they moved in the Great San Francisco Earthquake of 1906, although that one WAS NOT preceded by a hurricane striking BC. Do note that will make this new alert in effect for both Los Angeles and San Francisco as well as like Santa Barbara and the area up around that Northern California Triple Plate Juncture and etc., too!!!

Finally, Day 30 after the landfall of Typhoon Morakot at Taiwan is Sept. 6 and the Full Moon is tomorrow night (Friday) so there is already existing seismic energy from Morakot and Hurricane Bill as well as some added seismic energy that a Full Moon can be counted on to bring in the coming days.

This is a real earthquake emergency so please everybody be prepared with supplies and keep some tools handy in case something happens!!! And of course Alert the People that there is a major earthquake coming!!! Thank-You!!! The EQ Alert Guy

EQ ALERT; CALIFORNIA!!!!!

HERE IS MY LATEST 'TWITTER' MORE ON THIS SUBJECT COMING!!!

Watch Out!!! Hurricane Jimena MADE LANDFALL and the new seismic energy is heading right for CALIFORNIA!!! To Be Continued!!! EQ Alert Guy

Huge EQ Alert--Turkey/Santiago, The Update With Dates!!!

I've just written out a new set of "Hurricane Cards" for both Typhoon Morakot and Hurricane Bill and am now writing today to let everybody know that the days of Typhoon Morakot especially, being past are as follows: Day 30 after the landfall of Morakot will be on September 6, 2009, and Day 40 after that landfall at Taiwan and then like China the next day, will be September 16. Note that while there are a whole other series of dates for post Hurricane Bill, they will run through October and so I will write more about them later. These dates are commonly the dates after a major landfall when a major earthquake should strike along the line ahead of where the landfall was, incase you are just joining us. Also note that I use a globe and a straight line tool to track this potential energy.

For now let's all just be aware that there could be some major potential seismic energy out there somewhere, even though for the present time it does seem like this one is especially for up around Turkey, and down around Santiago and Southern Chile. This could still be a major earthquake as large as about 7.9 Richters Magnitude and since this is consistant with my "Go Straight" theory, there is very little concern for other areas right at this moment. Unless you are reading this and notice that you happen to be exactly situated directly inbetween those two regions such as perhaps Kurghastan or somewhere up around the Caspian Sea somewhere? Otherwise for now just be watching those areas for a potentially REALLY BIG Major Earthquake!!!!!
