USGS on watch for extreme seismic activity on West Coast

Interesting pattern. Notice how it is heading right towards Mendecino, and on to the Juan de Fuca off the PNW. What is also interesting, is the small swarm of quakes, to the right of the words "Paso Robles". This would be around lake Isabella, Mammoth mountain, and the Long Valley Caldera.

Cassie's thread about Mount Rainier Thread: Mount Rainer Is Active Today

Ears are ringing so bad they're burning. No ear issues last night or early this morning - I was thinking, "Cool". But now, I'm not so sure.

Lots of smaller quakes in a zipper pattern shows a release of tension along a transform fault.

You need to be looking here.

Yes, well, gods bless the poor thing. At least he knows two letters of the alphabet. It's a start. ...I guess.

haha

Thanks, I do watch that area on a regular basis. lets hope its a release, and not a buildup.

Prophecy of Chuck Youngbrandt:

His vision of the "prelude judgments" before the Sino-Russian nuclear attack and invasion include:

Three West Coast volcanoes erupting to include Mammoth, St. Helens and one other. He said that St. Helens would have an electroluminescent halo for 72 hours before it blows. LA covered with volcanic ash from Mammoth.

Although the timing of the events with repsect to the volcanoes are unclear, there will also be a massive quake that causes the buildings in downtown LA to topple and a horrible quake induced damage to a city north of Seattle along the coast, the name of which escpaes me right now, whihc is preceded by an event in the sky "as lightnings on a dreary day". He said few would escape. Monterrey California goes underwater which I believe IS coupled with the Mammoth event. Eventually the Pacific Northwest experiences topographic changes.

Safe area is northern Washington State - where the prophet now lives north of Spokane near Canadian border.

twenty minutes ago i got hit hard with a pressure wave from an earthquake--it's tuesday, May 13th, 2008--it's a big one--watching the tube to see if an earthquake is being reported--GLP tends to report faster than national news networks of course

for those of you who are earthquake sensitive, you will know exactly what kind of pain experienced in the body when there is a "big hit"--my earthquake center is on the back side of my skull near the left horn--right now, that area is totally lit up--wow--ouch

later

Please stop already.

Zosime posted earlier this morning that the ETS event has officially started in PNW. These events happen approximately every 14 months up there and are related to the JdF subduction zone. The chance of "the big one" happening at these times is greatly increased.

this crap is still pinned?
ahhh...so how is the study going? did we react like you predicted, t@vi$t0ck?

Sorry I been really bored. I'll quit.

so sorry to spoil your theory - the institute doesn't have anything to do with the OP.

but who decided this tripe needed to be pinned for two days?

More along the lines of less than 5.5 in Sac and less than 4 in SF.

The Geology from Reno and these cities would absorb most of the temblor energy.

as posted above by another, this is from ZOSIME's thread:

Thread: Slow slip has started and SEATTLE -VANCOUVER BIG EARTHQUAKE COMING SOON

May 13, 2008 - Finally it is an official ETS. Herb Draggert from PGC reports significant displacements are taking place at north-western Washington sites. The Mount Olympus site is moving nearly 5mm westward which is significant. The "footprint" of the displacement also seems to be expanding. However, he still doesn't see much movement north of the Juan de Fuca Straights. Usually by this time there would be hints of motion up north. Time will tell.
Tim Melbourne of CWU agrees that motions have started in Washington and that his long baseline tilt meter records show tilts that are significant compared to the past three months.

Noticed that you posted at 12:33 PM GLP time and you mentioned that you had an experience about 20 minutes before that.

I am in Irvine CA and at 12:22 PM PST I heard a severe loud ear tone in my right ear lasting 5 seconds. I was seated facing north towards Mendocino. Stan Deyo says that California is coming unzipped; and although this may be true, I do not believe this is the right time frame for that event. However, I do believe that California (especially the Bay area) may be in for a rocky ride sometime within the next 72 hours or so. Just a theory, but I thought I would post it anyway.

could be the calm before the storm.

Just watch.

AC, what area do you live in?

If Long Valley Caldera blows (Mammoth), LA will be covered with more then ash. They will also be under water from the snow at Mammoth, and the Owens Valley resevoir, among others in the area). The San Juaquin Valley, one of the most productive AG valleys on the planet, will suffer the same fate. It will make Chile look like a tea party. Southern and Central Calif can survie a Fault slip, even an 8 (though damage and death would be massive). But if Long Valley blows, all bets are off.

Few people realize the caldera that encompasses Mammoth Lake is virtually a supervolcano. It's last eruption, of 600 cu. km. (approx. 145 cubic miles) of Mother F#@&in' Earth, was 60% the size of Yellowstone's last eruption (640,000 years ago), and over twice the size of the eruption before that (1/3 million years ago).

To put that number in perspective, when Mt. St. Helens went geomenstrual back in '80, only .3 cubic miles were 'sploded into the atmosphere.

Once again, when the Long Valley Caldera last erupted, it sent 480 times the amount of earth into the atmosphere than Mt. St. Helens, and nearly 60 times more ejecta than Mt. Pinatubo (2.5 cubic miles), which lowered global temperatures by a full degree.

If it were to experience even a moderate eruption, the effect on both US and global food production would be catostrophic. Here's a map of the Bishop Ash Beds from that eruption:

However, I don't know if the pyroclastic flows from that eruption ever reached anywhere near LA (do you have any published reference to support this?)... and I don't see how a massive snowmelt from the Sierra Nevada would flood the LA Basin. Have you ever dropped down into the high desert on 10 or 15?

Considering Death Valley is the lowest geogrpahical point in North America, I would think any such catastrophic flood resulting from a major melt would tend to run down the desert valleys, eventually emptying into the Salton Sea if it had enough legs. But if this happened, it would flood all of Imperial Valley (the breadbasket of California), providing a 1-2 punch with the ash that would destroy crops in the plains.

Now... any superheated ash falling into the local ranges would most likely generate massive landslides - a couple of those resorts keep crankin' out the snow all year 'round, don't they? But even with the realization of this scenario, I doubt the whole LA basin would become inundated... and while pyroclastic flows from that eruption covered "thousands of square miles," remember it only takes 150 mile radius from the center of the caldera to make a 1,000-square miles, and LA is over 300 miles away.

Possible, but I just don't think that anything other than a HUGE local snowpack melting from such a flow could ever inundate the valley. As mentioned, I would be interested in seeing any published data to support this.

If I'm ever Stink Rich, I'm going to hire a 24-hour proof reader. The above should have read, "...1.3 million years ago."

when exactly did Mammoth Lake last erupt?

Potential Hazards From Future Volcanic Eruptions
in the Long Valley -- Mono Lake Area, California

Volcanic unrest since 1980 in the vicinity of Mammoth Lakes in the southern part of the Long Valley caldera has increased concern among scientists over the possibility of a volcanic eruption in the future. Although pinpointing the precise time and location of the next eruption in the Long valley area is not feasible, scientists can identify areas that are likely to be affected from different types of future volcanic activity. Knowing the potentially dangerous areas before an eruption starts is critical for planning emergency procedures that can help ensure public safety if the unrest leads to volcanic activity.

The Inyo Eruption 550-650 years ago: sequence of events and effects in the Long Valley area

Geologists have pieced together the dramatic sequence of eruptions and ground cracking that occurred along the Inyo volcanic chain about 600 years ago. This eruptive sequence provides probably the best "scenario" for future volcanic activity in the Long Valley area.
