Subject: Some Earthquake Energy Around The Pacific

Gentlemen,
.......This is not the first time I have witnessed the Pacific Tectonic Plate turning counter-clockwise in the manner I am going to suggest today. On one other occasion this similar movement was initiated by an 8.2 Richters Chile Earthquake, followed by earthquakes of 6.1 and 6.6 at Nicaragua, and a 7.2 Mexico leading to an alert prior to a 6.6 that struck Vancouver Island and then another alert along with a new Official Prediction for Anchorage on April 25, 2014 @ http://earthquakealert2.blogspot.com/2014/04/official-prediction-for-anchorage.html
.......Here is a copy of a "Table" that I apparently wrote all up and posted in one of my EQ Blogs during that period of time. It appears to be very accurate as far as the dates of all the listed earthquakes I was discussing up to this point and is much more accurate and precise to follow than the information concerning the big alert I am writing to discuss today:


FROM An EQ Blog Entry dated April 30, 2014:

TABLE OF PACIFIC TECTONIC PLATE MOVEMENT/SHAKERS-2014

Chile 8.2, April 1, 2014, 23:46 UTC

Nicaragua 6.1 April 10, 2014, 18:27 UTC
2800 North, and Day-10 after Chile
Nicaragua 6.6 April 11, 2014, 15:29 UTC
3000 North, and Day-11 after Chile

Mexico 7.5 Downgraded to 7.2 April 18, 2014, 09:27UTC
1200 North, and Day-7/8 after Nicaragua

Vancouver Island 6.6 April 23, 2014, 22:10UTC
3500 North, and Day-5 after Mexico

Anchorage ?? April 29-30, 2014, 22:10
1500 North, and Day-?? after Vancouver

.......There was one more additional paragraph there at the end of the last entry that stated the question marks in the Anchorage entry will be filled in as soon as the earthquake strikes there. While it indeed did strike, I do not have that informaiton today to complete this discussion. . . but I can tell you it struck very near Anchorage and during a Seismological Society gathering there and there were upwards of 250 felt reports from the earthquake or series of earthquakes that was the final event in the Major Chain of Earthquake Events that I have been discussing.
.......Finally today I am writing to report that California has now had a 3.5 Tehachapi and just today a 3.2 San Clemente Earthquake on top of a 5 Magnitude Vancouver Earthquake yesterday. When you figure in the 6.2 and 6.4 Chile Earthquakes in the last several days as well as now several Nicaragua Earthquakes and a 5 Magnitude Mexico Earthquake late last week, I think we are looking at a somewhat similar movement of the Pacific with the above discussion from last year.
.......All of this is, of course, due to the recent landfall of CAT-5 Super Cyclone Pam at Vanuatu. From all the associated movement I must assume the Islands of Vanuatu must be positioned on the Pacific Tectonic Plate due to the fluid movement agreeing with this. Looks like it might also be possible they are little micro-plates in between, but that wouldn't be as likely to turn the Pacific faithfully as Cyclone Pam seems to be doing there now. Vanuatu is also probably not situated wholly on the Australian Tectonic Plate for that same reason and while this leaves the question of New Zealand shaking or not it leaves no question California and our West Coast is next in line as the Pacific turns.
.......I do not have an analogy for why the leading edge of the Pacific Tectonic Plate results in earthquakes that seem to strike in a chain such as I am suggesting they strike. However my "Pacific Turning Counter-Clockwise Theory" does seem to work and I'm writing today to tell you that will surely be demonstrated by the fact that there WILL BE at least a medium-sized earthquake at California, Eureka, Coos Bay, Oregon, Washington, Vancouver Island, or Alaska before April 25, 2015.
.......The prior ones I mentioned at the beginning of this letter could be the footprint of Cyclone Pam tracking across a number of Islands and both Chile and Nicaragua have now gotten a series of earthquakes so the upcoming (Places I mentioned) might also or instead receive a series of 4, 5, and 6 Magnitude Earthquakes rather than a single 7 or 8 which as of yet has not become a part of this series. Although there may be 7's and 8's involved with the simultaneous movement of the Indio/Australian Tectonic Plate.
.......Thank-You Again for accepting my earthquake writing!

OFFICIAL PREDICTION FOR A 7.3 RICHTERS EARTHQUAKE TO STRIKE SAN FRANCISCO BY NOVEMBER 17, 2014

The landfall of Super Typhoon Phanphone at Japan on October 4, 2014, was traveling in a most unfortunate straight-line which when tracked directly along to the other side of the Pacific comes out at exactly San Francisco and The Napa Valley. More approximately the line intersects California around Fort Bragg, Napa, Santa Rosa, Sacramento, Fresno, Modesto, Barstow, Twenty-Nine Palms, and Nogales. The line crosses the Napa Valley and actually does not dissect San Francisco or Oakland per se, although my newest theory of a "Broad Line" could be exaggerated to include both major cities.

There is also an existing Official Prediction that will run through November 1, 2014 for a lot of the same region however in a line perpendicular to our new line.

I will estimate this magnitude at 7.3 Richters and will run until Midnight on the night of November 17, 2014.

Although Anchorage did receive a 6.2 Richters Earthquake from the other lines discussed in my other Official Prediction, we should continue that alert through November 1, 2014 due to there still being line T-LV-S, and they received a 6.2 at the tip of The Gulf of California on October 6, 2014 agreeing with my theory that there is movement along this line. There was also just a 6.8 with aftershocks near Easter Island as I was writing this and there is now so much Earthquake Energy around the Pacific that California will have a much higher chance of earthquakes throughout the duration of this Official Prediction.

The earthquake energy generated at Japan upon the landfall of Super Typhoon Phanphone WILL result in an earthquake exactly as I describe in this Official Prediction. Additionally, there was a 6.2 at Napa, California on August 24, 2014 and that region could be due a major aftershock and it could be much larger than that original one was. Super Typhoon Vongfong with 200mph Gusts is also currently approaching Japan and looking like MORE Earthquake Energy for California following this one even still yet! I have to wait for that landfall to know, but it could become three in a row heading for California.

Folks in the Napa Valley Region as well as San Francisco, Oakland, and several of those other California communities may wish to be informed of the fact that there IS Earthquake Energy heading directly for them, and that Earthquake Preparations should be discussed right now.

LETTER SENT TO: California Earthquake Prediction Evaluation Council: Updated Information on San Francisco/Napa Earthquake From The EQ Alert Guy

August 28,2014

To: John Parrish, CEPEC, Michael Blanpied, NEPEC
Fm: Les Brown, The EQ Alert Guy

Gentlemen,
I recently traveled to California on Amtrak for what I call "Quake Chase 2014: Oakland" due to all of the foreshocks they had been getting and what was looking very much like a lot of danger from a Major Earthquake heading in the direction of San Franicsco and you could say Napa, California. While I like to declare my "Quake Chase 2014: Oakland" a success. . . the fact of the matter is I traveled there during the August Full Moon/Super Moon on August 9, 10, and 11, and left for home on Amtrak August 12, now actually just 12 days before the recent San Francisco/Napa Earthquake on August 24. You may like to see my weekly video Log covering Quake Chase 2014: Oakland @ https://t.co/hBEGIVjhp6

Today I thought I should write to CEPEC, and NEPEC and put in a good word for myself with regards to the fact that ultimately the Napa Earthquake actually struck 3 hours before the following August New Moon Window and it appears that it probably WAS a response to all of the foreshocks California had been getting at both Lakeview, North of Reno, as well as Incline Village, Mammoth Lakes and a number of other earthquakes that seemed unusual.

Finally, I'm asking the Councils to understand that in the great rush I undertook to schedule my itinerary and get to the location, I DID NOT notify either council of what I thought to be such an impending event. Today I am very sorry I do not appear to have any communications having been submitted to CEPEC/NEPEC communicating the fact that it was looking so much like a Major California Earthquake might be arriving with that August Full Moon/Super Moon that I was inspired to immediately travel out there in the wake especially of what was at that time the "Lakeview Swarm" North of Reno. A search revealed my original CEPEC/NEPEC submission of June 24, 2014 and which had been extended in the general sense to run through August 15, 2014 although it appears this was never submitted to the Councils. That entire Official Prediction with extensions, can be viewed at: http://earthquakealert3.blogspot.com/2014/06/official-prediction-due-to-chance-west.html AND it was recently my decision not to file additional Official Predictions for areas such as California/West Coast when one for similar areas is already in effect, rather, I decided I would submit updates and extend the existing Official Prediction based on new earthquake energy in the same manner as a Severe Weather Alert might need to be extended due to new Thunderstorms forming in a given area. In this case that present O.P. would have easily been extended at least until August 24, 2014, a discussion of the Full Moon/Super Moon was in order, and just the file date on that O.P. of June 24, 2014 would almost automatically tell me it should run by itself out to Day 60, or August 24, 2014. Additionally, landfalls of Typhoons Neoguri, Ramassun, Matmo, and Halong should have been cause for at least an Amendment being filed with the Councils and ultimately warning of increased Potential Earthquake Energy will into September 2014.

In the future, if the Gentlemen would not mind the potential whirlwind of my communications, mostly via E-Mail, I can attempt to more precisely maintain up-to-date filings with both Councils as needed and especially in situations such as that which preceded the recent San Francisco/Napa, California 6.0 Earthquake of August 24, 2014. I deeply regret not having forwarded any information stating all of what I knew to be going on in California and instead traveled there and enjoyed informing random people on my own. . . with the result being the California Earthquake Prediction Evaluation Council did not have any communications with regards to the fact that they did in fact, have a Major Earthquake heading for them. I am very sorry for the many folks hurt in that recent earthquake, too, and am Very Sorry for not keeping both Councils updated on what I believed to be going on in California during the August Full and New Moons and the subsequent risk of a Major Earthquake there!

Respectfully,
Les Brown,
The EQ Alert Guy

Geophysicists Concerned as Oklahoma's Earthquake Total Surpasses California's!!!!! Great Story borrowed from "Accuweather.com"

By Michael Kuhne, AccuWeather.com Staff Writer on July 11, 2014; 4:29 AM

Frequent, rumbling tremors beneath the earth may be a common occurrence in California, but Oklahoma has now surpassed the state in the number of earthquakes felt this year-a trend that is surprising geophysicists and raising concern. "It is actually very surprising to us as well," Pasadena, California-based U.S. Geological Survey Geophysicist Elizabeth Cochran said. Between 1975 and 2008, only an average of two earthquakes with a magnitude of 3.0 or greater would occur each year in Oklahoma. Since 2009, the number of quakes has climbed exponentially, and there are no signs of slowing.

"There has been a dramatic increase in that time," Cochran said. "We're seeing a very steep increase with 183 quakes occurring in a six-month period." Between October 2013 and April 2014, 183 earthquakes occurred with a magnitude of 3.0 or higher, and continue to occur with an average depth of 3 miles. Between 1975 and 2008, a total of 40 earthquakes with a magnitude of 3.0 or greater occurred, according to a USGS study. Cochran said the rate will continue to climb in the future based on the current data.

The cause for this increase does not appear to be natural and has likely been induced by fluid injection, part of the crude oil and gas industry's disposal of wastewater through the creation of wastewater wells. Changes in pressure near faults in Oklahoma that surpass the fault's critical pressure threshold are likely the cause of the seismic activity surge. The injection of wastewater fluids deep into the ground can lubricate existing, dormant faults and change the stress and pressure of the fault, leading to increased seismic activity, Cochran said. "These quakes tend to be shallower," she said. "At this point, we do not think this is a natural variation."

According to a recent research study Cochran cited, not only has the rate of occurrence increased, but the rate in which earthquakes have the potential to ignite other quakes. "There is a fundamental change in the seismicity and statistically they differ from natural earthquake sequences," she said. While there are currently a number of studies being conducted on the increased activity in Oklahoma, earthquakes caused by injection tend to occur more frequently in areas than they once did, have a shallower depth than tectonic quakes that occur at the basement rock, along with epicenters in proximity to wastewater wells, she said. "These are the key things we look at," Cochran said. "[Fluids] may run into a fault and decrease the strength of that fault, essentially allowing it to slip.

According to Cochran, there are thousands of wastewater injection sites across the state, and many more across the country, but understanding the physics behind why some areas have seen dramatic increases and others have not depends on understanding a variety of variables. Cochran said the rate in which injection occurs, the volume of fluid injected and the existing state of the geology may all play a role.

The largest event in the state to occur in the past century was a 5.6-magnitude quake that struck Oklahoma in November 2011. "That was the largest event linked to injection," Cochran said. With the growing number of quakes in the region, the hazards associated with an even larger event occurring near a major metropolitan area have geophysicists concerned. "That is our big concern," Cochran said. "There is an increased probability of a larger event occurring." With the increased frequency of quakes in the region, the potential for a larger, damaging earthquake is more and more likely, she added. "We're just lucky that it [5.6 quake] did not occur in a major metropolitan area," she said, adding it struck about 45 miles from Oklahoma City. Earthquakes cannot be predicted in advance and can occur without warning. "The best we can do is make a long term forecast," she said.

3.9 Richters Strikes 20 MIles Southwest of Island of Jersey, UK!!!!!

Now what I found to be the most interesting part of this particular earthquake, besides it having a fairly huge felt report that you can see below, is the fact that on this felt report for Jersey, UK. . . also appears the fact that it was ALSO felt in Guernsey, UK!!!!! Long I have known that both of these two islands just so happen to be the exact very islands where we get all of our Jersey and Guernsey cows, but until now had not given too much thought to the fact that the existence of these two breeds of cows might owe at least a little something to Plate Tectonics!!!

So, here is that felt report for a 3.9 Richters Earthquake that struck offshore from England and please feel free to give some thought to what way the two islands are connected or perhaps where all of the other cows such as the Jerseys and Guernseys might have ended up in the movement of all those tectonic "Micro-Plates" over around England. Did England also have cows that evolved into yet other species? France? And where were the Longhorns evolving while all of this was going on? How long ago? Was there a time when all these cows came from one prehistoric cow family???
