Come Lord! Shake Your Church today!

There was a news report that a new fault line discovered is what caused the quake. A small 11ft riff now runs through the town. Maybe your right God is shaking the Church or is it a symbol of dividing the Church? Goats on the left, Sheep on the right.

What ever the outcome: Praise the Lord Jesus Amen.

I mentioned on the board to GodStudent about a wk before this quake in Christchurch happened that God is doing a shaking and seperating between Christian family members that hold different values. It's happening in my family for sure.

this one is within 120 miles or less of my aunt's family and a cousin's family. ~20 of my ~110-120 relatives live there as missionaries. only 4 of those 20 are adults.

[Reborn]

Well I hope they're doing okay after that quake. We had a 5.2 in the Midwest in 2008 that caused damage for some folks.

[bchandler]

It certainly looks like the new madrid fault are is beginning to awaken. There were some predictions that the BP spill and subsequent sudden release of pressure without water to back fill it could cause increased activity on new madrid, working it's way north from the gulf.

[Reborn]

CENTRAL US:


Here are 2 threads that I'll post here for those who might not have been following Midwest quakes lately:
http://fulfilledprophecy.com/bb/viewtop ... 10&t=58391
http://fulfilledprophecy.com/bb/viewtop ... 10&t=58399

Take a look at these jpegs of info:

This first one is a short list of the (Central US) quakes from February through May of 2010 so that you can see the increase in just this year as we go along. Arkansas started increasing in quakes last year, and last FALL I read that the state brought in monitoring equipment to try to find out why.


This second jpeg is a list of the (Central US) quakes from June through September 2010. All of Arkansas' new sensors were up and going by last Spring (from what I read) so one could say the bigger amount of Arkansas quakes for June was because of that. But then after June, the total of monthly Arkansas quakes dropped back down a bit.


Now after looking at the previous two lists, ompare earlier this year to the month of October we are now in and this month isn't even over yet.

[Reborn]

Well, I tried to post 2 graphs but when I do they're cut off, sigh. Sorry folks.

[GodsStudent]

Wow....doesn't look like this should be scoffed at.

6.9-magnitude earthquake hits Baja California,
latest in cluster of temblors
October 21, 2010 | 12:15 pm

A 6.9-magnitude earthquake struck Baja California Thursday morning,
the latest of multiple temblors to strike the region in the last few days.

The latest quake occurred at 10:43 a.m. about 85 miles northeast of La Paz.
There were no reports of injuries or damage.

Wow 6.9 I was just down there a month ago in La Paz and all over Southern Baja Sur. It's not the place you want to be if disater strikes. With out AC we could have cooked to death with the 100+ weather.

I pray for the people down there.

[bchandler]

If Baja California is shaking, that means that the San Andreas fault is unloading pressure, which could lead to additional slippage further up the fault line. Keep an eye out for more quakes working their way up into San Diego and Los Angeles.

JAKARTA, Indonesia --
A powerful, 7.7-magnitude earthquake triggered a tsunami

"And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations,
with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring; men’s hearts failing them from fear and the expectation
of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken."

Woke up to the bed shaking this morining at about 7:20 am Pacific time. I checked the USGS and found similar seismograph signatures across the globe with the stongest magnatude coming mainly from Pau New Guinea and the Ausrailian Region. It would appear to be a massive shock wave. I'm not sure how to read the bands as I only see time on the Y axis. I do not see any reports yet from any web news. I'm trying to figure out if what I felt was all the way from Pau New Guinea.

Here is the Pau New Guinea 24 hr seismic chart.


Here are some seismographs from else where including where I live.

david

[bchandler]

David, the time correlation certainly seems to indicate that the quake in Pau was felt all over the world.

I have yet to see anything on the news though. That looks like a really big quake and New Guinea is s small, I would have expected tsunami warnings.

Yea bchandler I don't understand it, no report still 11:20 am pacific. Beginning to wonder if I'm imagined the bed shaking, maybe the dog scratching, am I imagining the seismograph readings? All I get from news feeds is Sarah Palin predicts"Political Earthquake".

Earthquakes in Oregon are rare, the last time I felt one was when Seattle had a 6.8 in 2001.

We'll have to wait for a seismologist to confirm.

[david]

It would appear Papua New Guinea did have a 6.1 according to the Iris site for 1800 hours on Oct. 31. So due to the lack of my understanding the Y axis for the live charts; it was not so massive.

Earthquake swarm hits near Lake Tahoe

In less than eight hours, 15 small earthquakes rumbled the ground
near the mountain town of Markleeville, California Monday morning,
according to the United States Geological Survey.
The temblors struck between 12:41 a.m. and 8:21 a.m.,
-
They were all eight to 11 miles east of the town, which is South of Lake Tahoe,
and about 72 miles from Reno.

Earthquakes are not uncommon for the area, according to University of Nevada,
Reno Seismology Professor Glenn Biasi, but he said,
this small swarm is something scientists are keeping their eyes on.

Ark. cities feel unexplained surge in earthquakes

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – Jim Sutterfield was briefly puzzled by a thumping sound that seemed to slam the back of his office chair. But when the small-town Arkansas fire chief turned and saw no one was around, he quickly realized it was just an earthquake — again.

"That was only my second time to feel one, but others here have felt them for three or four months now," Greenbrier chief Jim Sutterfield said after feeling the latest tremor on Wednesday. "Now when it happens, people say, 'Well, there's another one.'"

Several small earthquakes ranging in magnitude from 1.8 to 3.8 have rattled the north-central Arkansas cities of Greenbrier and Guy this week, and the cause is unknown.

The U.S. Geological Survey has reported more than 30 earthquakes in the area since Sunday, including a magnitude 3.8 quake Thursday morning and at least 16 others occurring Wednesday, two of which were magnitude 3.2 and 3.5. More than 700 quakes have occurred in the region over the past six months.

This doesn't look good for the midrid fault senerio.

[Passion]

Last night, at our prophecy-related update and q & a we always have before Bible study at church, the pastor asked a guy to tell everyone about the email he'd sent to him (to the pastor). So the guy said that in the last few weeks, there have been swarms of quakes underneath Yellowstone, and they're getting shallower. I don't know him well, so I don't know where he works, but obviously it's something to do with geology, because they have a seismograph in the office. He was watching it, and on his computer where the USGS map pinpoints each quake as it happens. He said he couldn't believe what he was seeing---as soon as it would register the Yellowstone quake on the graph, and it popped up on the screen, it was immediately deleted! this happened quite a few times.

Our pastor, who has been tracking quakes worldwide for over 7 years, gets the USGS data downloaded at the same time each week. He likes to watch the quakes show up on the screen, too, when he can. He said that about a week before this guy emailed him this info, he happened to be watching some quakes in Yellowstone---but then they'd immediately go off the screen. He thought how odd that was, wondered what was going on. Then later in the week, when he got his printout, not one of those quakes he saw were there on the printout. Then a week later the pastor gets this email from this church member, telling him what he saw at work.

Some people last night were asking why no one seems to have heard this. Not why is it not being reported---we already know that! But some were thinking that someone must be feeling these, even though they're not big ones (yet.). But others made the good points that a.) The park is buried under tons and tons of snow. This might serve to sort of muffle the physical effects, and also b.) How many tourists are traipsing through the park in the middle of winter? and c.) Even if there were a few people around who felt anything, they would probably just think it was geysers and related normal, everyday rumbling. Also, the woman next to me pointed out, she had read an article last year about how snowmobiling is no longer allowed in Yellowstone, due to how they "tear up the snow". Boy, we had some good laughs over that! But once we all stopped laughing, we reasoned that it would make perfect sense for the powers-that-be to play the flimsy "environmentalist wacko" card in order to keep people out---either because of avalanche danger due to the quakes, or because they don't want them to know about the quakes---or both.

The man who told us about this said to Google (hey, I don't "Google" anything---I use Ixquick!) something like "deleted Yellowstone quakes" and we'd get more info than we knew what to do with! He also warned us away from the site called "godlike productions", saying it's not Godly at all! I did the search with Ixquick and don't think I hit the jackpot like I might have using Google, but like I said, I refuse to Google anything. There were some links, though, I just haven't had the chance to dive into them yet.

Of course small quakes are very common there, but it sure seems funny that the USGS is now deleted them as fast as they register.

But once we all stopped laughing, we reasoned that it would make perfect sense for the powers-that-be to play the flimsy "environmentalist wacko" card in order to keep people out---either because of avalanche danger due to the quakes, or because they don't want them to know about the quakes---or both.

The man who told us about this said to Google (hey, I don't "Google" anything---I use Ixquick!) something like "deleted Yellowstone quakes" and we'd get more info than we knew what to do with! He also warned us away from the site called "godlike productions", saying it's not Godly at all! I did the search with Ixquick and don't think I hit the jackpot like I might have using Google, but like I said, I refuse to Google anything. There were some links, though, I just haven't had the chance to dive into them yet.

Of course small quakes are very common there, but it sure seems funny that the USGS is now deleted them as fast as they register.

What a coinkydink. I was just thinking today, about Yellowstone. If it erupted, that would be the final nail in the world's food supply, not to mention the final nail for the US. Our role in the mid east is being diminished as we speak. We don't know yet, who or what will fill that void. Things could change so quick. So . . .very . . . quick.

It would be interesting to know the travel schedules of the world's top geologists. To see if there were any recent convergences on the Yellowstone area. And I'm not computer savvy, but wonder if these quake deletions are originating at the USGS website, or headquarters, or somewhere else. It looks like, that if it was going to be deleted, it could be stopped from being reported to begin with. Something's weird, one way or another.

Hmmm.....that's an intriguing report, Passion. Thanks for posting. Do you think you could find out who the guy that emailed your pastor works for? Not the name of the company, but what it does that it would have a seismograph there.

Anyway, on a similar note I noticed this past week that RSOE wasn't reporting earthquakes at all for a day with a message that said "The earthquake information system has been shut down...". They were back up a couple days later. Okay, I just now checked RSOE again and once again they're not reporting any earthquake data at all in the Activity Report section. May not mean anything but a glitch. Still, it seems odd.

Now that's an interesting thought.

Recent telemetry problems, from ice and snow buildup on data transmission antennas, have caused intermittent malfunctions of the University of Utah's automated earthquake location system. The malfunctions result in false earthquake reports, which upon review, are then manually deleted from the earthquake catalog. The snow and ice buildup interferes with the continuous streaming of seismic data causing occasional signal dropouts. The dropouts cause spikes to appear in the data streams, which the automated system misinterprets as the abrupt appearance of a high amplitude seismic wave from an earthquake. Windy conditions, common this time of year, exacerbate the problem by contributing additional noise and thereby reducing the overall signal quality of the seismic data streams. In most cases, seismologists at the University of Utah can overcome these problems and still identify and locate earthquakes correctly. Seismic activity at Yellowstone remains at background levels.

I am more concerned, right now, about the swarms of earthquakes in the New Madrid area. Of course, pre tribbers would say that the evidence for New Madrid and Yellowstone could be signals that we are getting very close to rapture time (not jabbing them, just acknowledging that this is reasonable from that eschatology viewpoint).

With the headlines stacking up before we can even process what has just happened (aren't the birth pangs getting strong!), I have concerns about the New Madrid. Earthquakes is a scriptural precursor. We need a good shake up here in America, not making light of the potential for casualty......but good grief! What does it take for the christians of our time to stand up and take notice?

Ahhhh......well, that certainly sounds plausible. Guess that's a mystery solved.

As far as the Arkansas earthquakes go, I recall last year a report about these swarms. A lot of people feel that the swarms are a result of nearby "fraking." They put a moratorium on any further gas harvesting until they could determine if this was indeed the culprit. The moratorium is set to expire this summer, I believe. With the swarms still ongoing, it will be interesting to see what their conclusion is. Last year's article was filled with information, and it did certainly seem likely that the fraking was the cause of the mini-earthquakes. I hate to say that, as I'm a big proponent of "Drill, baby, drill!" But fwiw, it did appear that in this case of fraking that damage was being incurred.

Yes, actually, I wanted to ask him on Wed. night, but didn't get a chance. I'll probably see him or his wife on Sun., so I'll do my best to remember to ask!

As for the "glitches" I dunno.....why is it whenever an earthquake is reported---a big one or even the baby ones we get around here (over-reported ad nauseum, because we are well overdue for another Big One)---they always seem to have data to look back on so they can tell you how high on the R. scale it was, the epicenter, type of quake, depth, etc. They never say anything like, "We're sorry, we're unable to give you any information on this quake due to the fact that, because of a glitch in the system, the information system was shut down."

It would sound plausible to me if it weren't for this wording: "The malfunctions result in false earthquake reports, which upon review, are then manually deleted from the earthquake catalog."

The man who was watching these quakes on the seismograph, then watching them appear on the computer, saw them deleted the second they appeared. The people who do the reviews, find a false quake reading, and manually delete them from the earthquake catalog would have no time to do what this man saw happening.

I agree. I find this explanation very questionable. Especially since there has always been heavy snow and ice buildup in Yellowstone, and there aren't always tons of earthquakes being deleted from the records (are there?)
