Swarm of [Nevada] Quakes have Experts Concerned

preferred it to the tornados and T-storms in Texas.

Many times more people are killed every single year by tornadoes, hurricanes and floods in modern America, than earthquakes.

well, can’t help you then q

[Quix]

Understand.

If I come up with something, I’ll send you the link.

I think you may be lurkin in the wrong Dune area. ;-) The article says there is no way to predict where the next big one will hit. However, there is some predictability as to when the next big one will hit. In my studies of volcanic and EQ activity, I have noted that big ones often hit a few days after either a new moon or a full moon. This year, with the moon the closest it has been in 18 years, The Japan big quake hit a few days after the new moon (when both sun and moon are pulling hard in the same direction). The second big one occurred almost exactly 28 days later when the new moon had also been a few days earlier. So I will go out on a limb and suggest that another big something will occur shortly after the next new moon, or perhaps shortly after the next full moon. We will know soon enough. Now, if I could just guess where.

[Quix]

Was easier than I thought.

first hit at ATS search:

TEN of those quakes were on the grid cross points.

Can’t imagine any way that was by chance alone.

Supposedly there was no drilling etc. . . . nor any other man made activity going on at those grid points.

Stan deyo - weekly world news. The proper reference is 2008 Mogul-Somersett Earthquake Sequence; West Reno, Nevada. cut paste this link and you will read an authoritative report WITHOUT cherry picked data locations.

This image is nothing like the one deyo is trying to force.

Its part of a nw trending, right lateral fault system - read a little further along the UNR article. They have been measuring fault creep over the region for decades. No mysterious 'grid' pattern, no artificial triggering event like HAARP.

Sorry - HAARP played no factor in these quakes

The golf course is safe from HAARP.

You put enough quakes in an area, you can make up just about any 'grid' pattern.

Learn to go to the source q, not wacko interpretations from deyo.

Good grief q, you'd believe any half-cocked notion.

[Quix]

Thx Thx.

Great having you around . . . I think. LOL.

I hold a lot of things as conceivable.

Doesn’t mean I’d bet the farm on all of them. LOL.

[BenLurkin]

Does the moon weigh more when it is full?

[jboot]

I think you right. There’s a very recent basalt flow 3 mi SSW of the quake swarm, and the Aurora Crater cinder cone is 8 mi. to the SW. Keep your eyes peeled for fire fountains!

[jboot]

And there’s the even closer Aurora volcanic field. Looks like rising magma to me.

Crap! Just what we need. Another dormant supervolcano similar to Yellowstone getting active again.

[Jack Hydrazine]

Two more quakes for Hawthorne, NV
Magnitude 4.1 and 4.6

[Jack Hydrazine]

Only 10% more due to the acidity of the cheese curds!

[stboz]

My first thought, too. Tahoe is, after all, a volcanic caldera and not that far away and Mammoth/Long Valley, isn’t far either.

[jboot]

There are two known magma chambers in the Long Valley complex: one under the existing Long Valley caldera and one under the Mono-Inyo volcanic complex. Both are far enough away from the Hawthorne swarm to make it unlikely that they are directly involved. Of course, there COULD be a previously unknown magma source involved...

[BenLurkin]

The aftershock forecast has spread dramatically since just yesterday.

[BenLurkin]

And now it isn't.

[Godzilla]

Look at the depths of the quakes - they are all very shallow. Were they representing magma movement they would be far deeper and generating distinguishing harmonic signatures. It is unlikely they are relating to the activation of a volcano.
