Earthquake watch

[ChurchGirl]

okay - I totally want the shaking browser thing. how?

[jgilberAZ]

Download and install Firefox here.

Download and install eQuake Here.

It's simple to do.

[ChurchGirl]

The firefox worked - but not the equake....

thanks you for your help BTW....

[ChurchGirl]

Actually it says find or save instead of run or save....when I click find it says uh uh.

[jgilberAZ]

Try downloading from here, instead of the other link.

[OBXBob]

ChurchGirl,

Hope it works this time! We fellow browser-shakers are pulling for you!


YBIC,


Bob

[ChurchGirl]

It does the same thing for me....hmmmm...

[Be still]

We fellow browser-shakers are pulling for you!

[ChurchGirl]

So I started up in Firefox - and wow it looks a bit different. But when I go to get the shaker thing it says restart firefox so I do and then it goes back to the same thing....

Hmmmmmmmmmmm.

I was wondering if it was only my impression, or fact, that the earthquakes seem to be getting larger in average intensity. So, I went to the ANSS Earthquake Catalog and searched for all earthquakes > 4.0 since 01Jun2006.

I then parsed that information, calculating the number of earthquakes per day and their average intensity.

Here is the result:

.

Looks like things started changing in July. If we're in the 70th week, I would expect this trend change to intensify. If we're not, I would expect it to return to normal sometime in the near future. I'll have to do this again in a month, or so.

Maybe, I should do this for the opposite case, too. ie, the number of quakes < 4.0. Perhaps, they are increasing in number. Hmm, back to the drawing board.

Do any of you mothers draw any similarities between this and childbirth? ie, the number of "events" drops, but the magnitude increases? I've seen all four of my children born, and it seems to me that this does not fit with childbirth. What I saw was that labor increased in both frequency and magnitude. Correct?

I had to restrict this to > 4.0 if I went back to June 2006 due to the huge number of results. I'll do it again using ALL earthquake data, but restrict it to the last six months or so. Perhaps, that will be a manageable number of events.

I noticed that major-big spike back in mid-November. It was a couple of weeks after that the sun for some reason put out something like 1,000 times it's normal electromagnetic energy emission. This was the same time that the U.S. basically said that Israel was on her own.

Wow, a 7.7 mag earthquake just hit coastal Peru. Anyone else have the feeling that something is coming? It just seems like all of this is happening at an increasing rate. Maybe it's the fact that news travels fast now, but I think God is trying to tell us something....

In my experience (I have four too), yes, they actually can decrease in frequency but increase in intensity. With three of mine, this happened to me about 4 hours in right after my water broke when the contractions really started to do some work. Then later, more toward the end they would increase in magnitude again, as well as frequency, as you described. That chart you posted is eerily like the strip of the contractions that the nurses watch, IMO.

I was thinking the same thing as I was looking at that graph!

Just checked, and there have been more major earthquakes , in addition to Peru, yesterday and today in Japan, the Solomon Islands and Alaska (and the islands off the Alaska coast).

If you look at the world today;

Large area's throughout the world with wildfires and extreme drought.
Extreme flooding in many countries.
1 hurricane and 3 tropical storms.
Hundreds of earthquakes with as many as 7 over 5.0.
Volcano's erupting (4 at the highest alert level).

God is certainly getting my attention!!

I noticed the frequeny actually dropping below averaged towards then end of the chart. For earthquakes that is actually a precursor to larger tremors. If pressure isn't released frequently it will continue to build until release in a much more explosive result. That chart is a little concerning. Praise God for his perfect protection of our eternal souls.

[jgilberAZ]

I thought I'd post an updated chart. Here it is ...





Interesting.

Whoa!


If that was an ECG strip, I would say the subject was going into arrest!
The calm before the storm?

[lime]

6.3 Gulf of California.... is that average or above?

[Lookfortruth]

It looks like it was on a fault....but that is a big quake!!!!

[lime]

thought so.... the earthquake program is great!

[Lookfortruth]

lime, you are one of the Mozilla Firefox Shakers?

[lime]

yep!!!!

[Lookfortruth]

Whoa! My browser was a shakin! Santa Cruz Islands had a 7.4, and now just had a 6.9 aftershock!

[lime]

Where is the location of Santa Cruz Islands?

[starjelly]

Where is the location of Santa Cruz Islands?

Off the northeast coast of Australia. Here is the maps page for the 6.9 aftershock.

[lime]

ok thanks Starjelly! There are a lot of quakes over 5.0 these days arent it?

[lime]

I mean world wide

[runner4jesus]

This is an interesting thread. Loved seeing the charts. When I tried to download the same thing happened to me, wouldn't do. Have firefox too!
Do you guys remember the BayArea EARTH QUAKE 7.2+ I was working at Kaiser when the bay bridge & Nimitz freeway collapsed in 1989. That was phenominal and scary. It sure would be great to have EQuake.

[runner4jesus]

Just thought you'd like to know, checked out http://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqcenter/recenteqsus/
When I went there, clicked on EQ Notification Service, signed up. Is this the one?

[carpentersdaughter]

Google earth has an earthquakes alert. It refreshes itself every five minutes, so if an earthquake happens two minutes ago, you will get the quickest report.

Just download google earth. It's pretty cool.

There have been several quakes in the New Madrid area over the weekend.

Ok, I wanted the shaking browser, too. I did the download thing, so how do I know if it worked or not?

I noticed at the bottom of my screen that it says, M 5.1, Tonga. What does that mean? Did I get it?

BREAKING NEWS

6.6 quake, aftershocks jolt Taiwan

Taipei (dpa) - Three earthquakes measuring 6.6, 5.7 and 3.9 on the Richter scale respectively rocked Taiwan early Friday, causing small damages but there were no immediate reports of casualties.

The first quake, measuring 6.6, struck at 1:51 am Friday (1751 GMT Thursday) with its epicentre 74.6 kilometres from Ilan on Taiwan's northeastern coast and 27 kilometres under the sea, the Seismological Observation Centre said.

It was followed four minutes later by an 5.7-magnitude aftershock, in the same region.

At 3:32 am (1932 GMT Thursday), a tremor measuring 3.9 jolted Taitung in southeast Taiwan.

The quakes were felt all over the island, causing bottles and cups to tumble off shelves and window frames to rattle. Many residents living in high rises in Taipei ran onto the street, fearing their buildings might collapse.

In Ilan, an arch of the Buddhist Lu Yuan Temple tumbled to the ground, but no one was injured, according to TV reports.

The quakes triggered rockfalls along the Suao-Hualien Highway on Taiwan's mountainous east coast.

In Panchiao, a satellite city of Taipei, bricks broke lose from a building and smashed several parked cars, but no one was injured.

Lu Pei-ling, deputy director of the Seismological Observation Centre, said there was no cause for panic, stressing that the quakes were the normal release of seismic energy.

"The 5.7 quake was the aftershock of the 6.6 quake. So after the 6.6 quake, there shouldn't be any bigger quake," she said.

Taiwan lies on the circum-Pacific seismic belt, where 68 per cent of the world's quakes occur. Most of the earthquakes which hit Taiwan occur off the east coast because of friction between the Eurasian Plate and the Philippine Plate, but generally cause little or no damage.

Taiwan can experience more than 200 quakes each year, with several of them measuring 6 or even higher on the Richter scale.

But on September 21, 1999, a quake measuring 7.3 on the Richter scale hit central Taiwan, killing 2,400 people and leaving some 10,000 others injured.

[Sherree]

I did get it!!!! Browser has been doing some shaking, WOW. I love it!

[carpentersdaughter]

Where do you go to get this shaing browser?

[Lookfortruth]

Where do you go to get this shaing browser?

Here is the link Linda
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... ox&id=2239

You have to have Firefox. Can't wait until you are rocking and rolling with us.

[carpentersdaughter]

Thank You. When do you know when it works or not?

[Lookfortruth]

Oh, you will know.
I did not know it would shake the browser when I got it, and thought my monitor was going bad.

[OBXBob]

Hi Linda,

You'll love it!

That big 7.0 a few weeks ago seemed like it would never stop!

YBIC,


Bob

[carpentersdaughter]

Not that I want any bad earthquakes anywhere, but I can't wait. I hope I'm sitting here when it happens.

[nickylouse]

An 8.1 just hit near Sumatra again (thinking about the great tsunami of Dec '04). Of course a 9.0 is 8 times stronger than an 8.1.

[Lookfortruth]

This could be the trigger of something bigger

[AndCanItBe]

Another 8.0 in Indonesia according to the Firefox browser!

They just downgraded it to a 7.9.

They revised that last one to 7.5 a little over half an hour ago, and now they've revised it to 7.8.

[sands]

The latest news says the first was an 8.4....And they had ANOTHER earthquake that was a 7.5!
