USGS is being muzzled about U.S. earthquake threat. Officials expect series of quakes in the next 30 days!

•EAT•?

Very interesting news, thanks for sharing this.

My words to mother earth: "Shake it, Momma, Shake it!!"

Whoa, some scary words...hope they are wrong.

Things are changing fast and no one is paying attention... Those who are paying attention, for the most part are doing nothing... So that leaves us with the "wait" factor... Its about to be a bumpy ride

Anyone else notice anything here?
Let me be the first.

First time ever posted...still worth the reminder to be prepared for anything

Notice what Sig... The Bold letters??

Thanks Sigma. Yep, likely BS as we've seen many of these "insider" reports before.

Perhaps when the OP said specifics they meant geologic jiberish. Anyone that has read Frank Condon knows what I mean. I.E. (Nucleation, harmonics, frequency, ULF spikes, ect...) I do find Jack Coles warning interesting in light of this post.

Deep-sea quakes raising eyebrows
Gulf events aren't causing alarm, but industry wants a closer look


By TOM FOWLER

The deepest waters of the Gulf of Mexico already hold plenty of challenges for the oil and gas industry — extreme temperatures and pressures, fierce weather and currents, and even thousands of unexploded bombs dumped there after World War II.

It may be time to add one more hazard: earthquakes.

The Gulf, normally plagued far more by storms on the surface than by movement in the earth below, had three sub-
sea earthquakes last year, all beneath the deep waters where most major oil and gas projects are moving.

On Feb. 10, 2006, a magnitude 5.2 earthquake occurred 160 miles south of New Orleans in about 3,000 feet of water.

A smaller one followed on April 18 about 120 miles northeast of the first. And a magnitude 6 earthquake occurred on Sept. 10, about 260 miles southwest of Tampa, Fla.

The unusual series of events led to a spate of activity among geologists who assess such hazards for the oil industry, and to a number of papers presented at the four-day Offshore Technology Conference that ended Thursday at Reliant Park.

The quakes were so unusual that oil giant BP decided to spend considerable money and time screening seismic data it collected during the February event from an unrelated 3-D imaging project it was conducting in nearly 6,000 feet of water.

"Why did BP care?" Joe Dellinger, a BP geophysicist who was working on the project, asked during a panel presentation. "Because this happened on the frontier of what will be the next round of colonization for the industry. If this had happened a few years later, when we will likely have more pipelines and platforms out there, we could have seen damage."


Caspian Sea
While earthquakes are rare in the Gulf of Mexico, they are frequent in other parts of the world where the oil and gas industry is working.

The Caspian Sea is seismically active, for example, as is the area off Sakhalin Island where Shell and other companies are developing major projects.

Companies take into account the kind of seafloor movement that may occur in an area when designing and installing equipment.

But in the Gulf of Mexico, earthquake hazards generally have not been part of design plans, said Peter Marshall, a retired Shell offshore structure engineer who is considered a leader in the field.

"If you get slapped up the side of the head, you don't go looking for new problems," Marshall said in an interview. "But no one likes being blind-sided."


Past consideration
That's not to say the industry hasn't looked at the challenges of earthquakes in the U.S. in the past.

In the 1970s companies tested equipment like fixed-leg and floating platforms to see how they fared in earthquake conditions offshore, Marshall said. This was when there was still some hope of more oil and gas production off the California coast and offshore Alaska drilling seemed imminent.

Using designs meant to withstand the Gulf's hurricanes, the equipment stood up to earthquake forces pretty well, Marshall said.

"The studies highlighted things that would be easy to deal with in a design if you looked at them specifically," he said.

Michael Angell, a senior geologist with William Lettis & Associates, said that the 2006 Gulf quake activity caught the attention of many in his field.

"When earthquakes do happen, it's not unusual for them to occur in clusters. But the two earlier ones appear to have had different causes than the September quake," Angell said, meaning it's less likely they were caused by related phenomena and may indicate a greater degree of complexity.

Angell said research by others seems to indicate the February and April 2006 events did not involve movement of tectonic plates but of the thick layers of sediment closer to the subsea surface.

The September event appears to have involved plate movements.

While three earthquakes after so many years of low activity are hardly signs of a pending disaster, Angell said the new data will have to be studied carefully by the industry to see how it should be used in assessing the location of wellheads, platforms and pipelines in the deepest areas of the Gulf.

"We're definitely not sending alarms out, and it does not immediately increase the hazards associated with existing sites by a significant amount," Angell said. "But we're all looking closer to make sure we understand what this new information means."

From Frank Condon, the monitor of frequencies along the california faults:

WARNING!!! Micro-Fracturing in Progress Inland Empire Region
« on: Today at 03:54:52 AM »

-------------------------------------------------------------​-------------------
Hello all:
Micro-Fracturing along one of the local faults appears to now be in progress.
The most likely location is the Cajon Pass, and the San Jacinto Fault Zone near Fontana, CA.

[link to www.geo-seismic-labs.org]

8 Near Earth Objects pass from May 7 - 11.

I have read a theory regarding NEO and earthquakes. Here is a quote:

'Picture if you will a neo-approaching the earth. It has the magnetic field about it which latches on to the Earth's Magentosphere. It's like a bungee cord. At this point of the approach there isn't a great deal of geological stress. But as the Neo flies by and begins to pull away from the Earth, the bungee cord stretches until it is released. At this point huge amounts of energy via a magnetic shockwave are sent back to Earth, causing pressure variants which in turn trigger earthquakes'

Also Gamma Ray Bursts are possible triggers for quakes:

Is the OP's IP addy out of Germany?

-

Yes, OP is not EAT.

EAT can't put more than two sentences together.

This is the quake sequence refered to as EQ321-05/07
This is top secret stuff. Your cousin could be killed for spilling the beans about EQ321-05/07

WE're all hooped.
-EAT

My cousin cited the IRIS map as a good visual display of where the pressure has been released and where it is being stored. [link to www.iris.edu]

Yes this is very obvious when you look!

Look for a moderate earthquake on the Mid Atlantic Ridge in the next 72 hours between 40N and 35N. This will set into motion the events described.

USGS is working very closely within the volcanology department to confirm unrest with Yellowstone. There was a swarm this past week that has the USGS concerned about a possible volcanic eruption there forthcoming. [link to www.seis.utah.edu]

Keep and eye out for any sudden closures at Yellowstone. This will be a good indication that they are expecting something to happen.

Also, the recent Fiji quakes were extremely deep quakes. This depth is at or near the crust - mantle boundary. It also represents one of if not the deepest earthquakes ever recorded. [link to earthquake.usgs.gov]

Scroll down and see how unusual this depth is. Very rare indeed!


Had this happened at a shallower depth the intensity would have been much higher than 6.2 Quakes at this depth are still a bit of a mystery but it should be noted that New Madrid lies on deep fault that is believed to be at or near the crust - mantle boundary.

WARNING, Have recieved a dream from God. There will be 12 point earthquake in Tennessee soon. Have no idea about this area, buit feel the need to pass this info on...

Are you sure the big one won't be in the Midwest.

USGS Insider, Your timing is very interesting to say the least. My expectations are that many things will begin in this time(end of the month). I will be on the watch.

Yeah I noticed something. The BIG ONE...there can't be two big ones. Only one, and I know where the big one is...

The real and only BIG ONE is my schlong.

I expect for the sake of keeping GLP alive we have to go with this BS.
OP, what are the chances of you being the first to get anything right on GLP? A billion billion to one perhaps?

I have a very high level intuitive friend who has been feeling earth 'quaky' in the last 4-5 days. Several of her friends have been feeling the same....which is a nausea and dizziness. One of these friends has had visions for 3 days in a row about San Francisoco having a big one. My view is something is up with this and the USGS may not have accurate predictability as far as date range & magnitutde but they can obviously see huge buildup of tectonic plate pressures with their monitoring equip. So we will see....

I have been watching the USGS web site for over 5 years.

AND THERE IS, a BIG cover-up, a foot..

take it to the bank ! It is a cover up !

I have heard we may be getting the big one in the end of May, starting from New Madrid, through yellowstone to the San Andres. 8 - 9 on the Richter scale. Watch for a major one in Japan, possible 8. the U.S. will be about a week after that.
I hope its all wrong, but it just might happen.
The OP might be telling the truth.

Frank Cordon over at Syzygy is expecting something too. Should read up on some of his posts there.

Earthquake Swarm: Twin Buttes - Near Lassen Peak
« on: Today at 01:56:50 AM »

-------------------------------------------------------------​-------------------
Hello all:
The results of the deep focused strong seismic event epicentered in the Fiji Islands may have already started. The volcano complex at Burney Mountain in Northern California is showing signs of tectonic unrest very early this morning.
I would definitely monitor seismic activity happening this close to Lassen Peak, which erupted at its summit during 1914-1917, and was the last eruption in the lower 48 until the Mt. Saint Helens Volcano erupted during 1980.
