earthquakes

I live in California where our three main concerns are fire, landslides and earthquakes. My daughter and I were talking about "the big" one and she reminded me that God is STILL in control. (Sometimes God speaks to us through our children, and I am forever grateful I am not too proud to hear that whisper!) Tonight I am meditating on Psalm 46 and I have this desire to write a poem to the

INQUIRER.net First Posted 16:25:00 05/14/2008 MANILA, Philippines--Earthquakes cannot be predicted, the US Geological Survey (USGS) has said as rumors swirled here that 6.8-magnitude quake would hit the Philippines Wednesday night. “Neither the USGS nor Caltech nor any other scientists have ever predicted a major earthquake. They do not know how, and they do not expect to know how any time in

It was only a magnitude 1.8 on the scale geologists use. But its center was just a mile from Annandale, Va., in the suburbs of Washington, D.C. — enough to get the attention of scientists and local emergency officials. It happened on Tuesday afternoon, and though it did no damage, hundreds of people called local news [...]

AFP - A series of strong earthquakes including one with a magnitude of 6.7 hit the Tokyo area early Thursday, briefly cutting off power to more than 4,000 homes and causing light injuries, officials said.

Are we "verily, verily" in the last days? Judgment day, Armageddon, and the Apocalypse rolled into one awful day of human agony and misery? One of the Biblical signs that the last days are nigh is earthquakes and rumors of earthquakes. Other dooms day precursors include famine, increased storm activity, war, and $4 a gallon

Have you ever seen that movie, The Entity?  That is one scary movie right there, one that I should never, ever have watched years ago.  Having a vivid imagination and being one who might occasionally overreact, I was certain that the rumbling I felt in my bed at 5:40 AM last Friday was definitely an [...]

“We owe him (Iben Browning) a debt of gratitude,” New Madrid Mayor Dick Phillips said Friday. “I respected the man’s intelligence. In this particular case, thank God, his prediction didn’t come to pass, but it made us realize that we had never made any kind of preparations for a natural disaster. We owe him for [...]

The week of hell is over and things are looking up, and odd.  As I stated earlier, we had an earthquake this morning.  Well, technically Illinois had an earthquake, we just FELT it here in Indiana.  For those asking “Does that happen?”…why yes, yes it does and it is predicted to start happening with more frequency as [...]

Last night I held on to the bed during an earthquake - and not a metaphorical one. It was a very rough night. The Poo fell asleep face-down on the hardwood floor at just about 6 p.m., and woke me at midnight complaining that it wasn’t morning yet. She won’t have anything to do with her father [...]

Come on down and get yourself an earthquake; we have plenty here at Earthquakes R Us because this is earthquake country! We have many different faults to choose from just in the Los Angeles area alone. Here is a diagram of our faults. Each line that you see is a fault, we have them in many different colors :) According to the Southern California Earthquake Data Center, "since these maps show only surface traces of faults, some potentially damaging faults -- namely, blind thrust faults, like the one which caused the Northridge earthquake of 1994 -- are not shown". Wow, thanks for that!Californians are quite used to earthquakes. We are so used to them that we are totally unprepared for the next "BIG ONE"...which has been predicted to happen any day now. Apparently, it has been 300 yea

SIX earthquakes have struck Israel and neighbouring Lebanon and Jordan in recent months, with two coming last week alone – and what is to blame? Homosexuality. That’s the view of imbecile Shlomo Benizri, MP, of the ultra-Orthodox Jewish Shas party, who, according to the Telegraph, believes that the tremors could be stopped by repealing various liberalising [...]

Following up on yesterday’s post about the satellite shoot down, I can’t help but notice all the synchronicities that seemed to line up in the news.

~Snooper~In my 24-7-365 (sometimes 366) daily studies in the morning hours of each and every day, I run across very interesting topics, very boring topics, articles written by very intelligent people from all political spectrums and then, I run into things like this. This is an example of mental instability in much the same way as the proponents of Global Warming.I was waiting for a few days to write on this but, in the light that the Des Moines Schoolmarm Club for the ignorant and confounded has endorsed Czarina and McCain for President, I thought to brighten up my evening by posting this link to the video of Israel creating earthquakes just to piss of the Arabs.Naturally, there will be people that actually believe this kind of crap just like they believe that the Federal Government is plotting the assassination of Ron Paul.

About 50 endangered sea turtles have washed ashore with logs and debris in Malaysia, possibly due to strong currents after recent earthquakes in Indonesia, an official said Monday. Two of the hawksbill turtles, which landed Saturday on muddy Kuala Tunjang beach in the northwestern state of Kedah, were found dead, while four others were injured and being treated, said state fisheries director Sani Mohamad Isa. The rest of the turtles have been released into the sea, Sani said. He said that the logs and bamboo washed ashore with the turtles were not found in Malaysia, and that plastic water bottles and shampoo containers in the debris had Indonesian labels. "We believe the logs are from Indonesia" and washed over to Kedah by strong currents following recent tremors in Indonesia, he said.Indonesia News Blog: http://indosnesos.blogspot.com

Title: Three Powerful Earthquakes hit PacificSummary: -- Three strong earthquakes struck Sunday near New Zealand and the U.S. territory of Guam in remote parts of the South Pacific. No one was hurt.Opinion: Its not very exciting as there really was no point to post this story. But I suppose that this is of interest to any geologists, but other than that..nadda.But I found this headline interesting as there was 2 earthquakes after the first one. The first earthquakes magnitude was 7.3 on the Richter scale. The next one was 7.1 and the last one was 6.6.Could this be a new beginning of a chain of earthquakes? or the end of all mankind...Rambler Respect Rating: N/A (Nobody was involved in this)The Daily Rambler is all rambled out for a while.

Indonesian president Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono called on the people not to subscribe to the superstitious belief linking him with the earthquakes that have often happened in the country at the recently quake-hit Padang, capital of West Sumatra Province on Tuesday. He made the request when giving directives to dozens of district heads from across West Sumatra regarding the handling of the impact of recent earthquakes in the region. "Our country, Indonesia, lies over the Eurosian plate that has been moving every year since hundreds of years ago and therefore is prone to earthquakes," he was quoted by Antara News Agency. He said, magma moves not because himself has become president and it is malicious to link it with him as president.Indonesia News Blog: http://indosnesos.blogspot.com

1- When the earth is severely quaked.2- And the earth throws out its heavy burdens.3- And man enquires, “What has come over it?”4- On that day, it will tell its information.99-The Earthquake, 1-4The Arabic word “zilzal” means “earthquake.” The above verses are quoted from the sura The Earthquake. These verses are believed to refer justifiably to the earthquake expected to occur in the end of the world; however, we should take due notice of its wider sense, depicting earthquakes in general. The fourth verse announces that men will be informed on that day. A terrible disaster like an earthquake associates in one’s mind destruction in the first place causing material damage and bodily injury, leading to a general terror and panic. This announcement must have astounded the public.To establish a link between earthquakes and knowledge of certain facts seemed inconceivable to people up until the last century. Today we have a great many data in our possession regarding the ground

Update: Looks like the tsunami watch for Hawaii has been cancelled. Thank goodness.  However, the devastation in Peru turned out to be worst than was first expected. So far, 48 dead and 350 injured. My prayers are with them. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ At about 1 pm HST, a 7.5 earthquake hit the central coast of Peru causing damage to some of it’s buildings. Luckily, no one was reported injured. Hawaii residents are now being warned that this earthquake could possibly generate a tsunami which may hit the Hawaiian Islands around 2am, Thursday. I’ve been watching the news all afternoon and so far nothing has been confirmed. Let’s keep our fingers crossed!

Sitting out on my porch tonight, enjoying the lovely sunset over the ocean and waiting for Hurricane Flossie, I saw a freakishly close meteorite (at least I think that’s what it was since I’ve not seen anything like that before) go down into the water, probably about 10 miles out, if that. I could see the large fireball streak down through the dusky sky, in a sort of serpentine curve, leaving a trail of white smoke in its wake. We live at altitude so I had a very good view. What’s weird is, it seemed to break apart as it came down, and one of the pieces just hung there in the sky, burning like a bright white piece of smoke or something, I don’t know; not moving, just hanging there, gradually streaking out horizontally as it was pulled by the wind. Maybe it was the setting sun behind a dense puff of smoke, but it sure looked weird. I watched it for about 20 minutes, half-expecting it to suddenly take off or something.   Ok, maybe I spend too much time o

So I'm frying up some italian sausage and the window starts rattling, for about 10 seconds. There's nothing else unusual going on anywhere else in the house, so I figure I'll check the time in case there was a small earthquake. 7:28. During "Fat Walk" on ABC a bit over a half hour later there's a hurricane update.... oh, and by the way, there was a 5.3 quake about 20 miles south of Hilo on the Big Island at 7:28pm.... any other day and that'd been one of the first mentions on the 10 o'clock news, as a 5.3 is a once every year or two or three event if I recall correctly. Here's the LINK to the USGS Hawaii earthquake mapAnyway, the current thinking is the hurricane won't hit the island directly, but might generate surf and 40-50 mph winds on the southeast side as well as surf on most of the east side. No talk about the Kona side yet. More updates later, if I'm still up (I'm getting to where I actually go to bed around night news time -10pm here), I'll update any new news I

The MLS All-Stars will play Celtic tonight at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park (pictured) in Denver (okay, actually Commerce City, Colorado). It should be an entertaining game if you believe the claims from the Celtic camp that they intend to take this game seriously, especially after Chelsea lost 1-0 last year in the All-Star Game. Unfortunately for Celtic, they will be playing in a heat they aren’t accustomed to as well as an altitude that perhaps none of the players have experienced. The big news out of Denver yesterday, however, is the announcement that the San Jose Earthquakes will return to MLS next season as an expansion club. However, for you NFL fans, the expansion will be similar to the Cleveland Browns brief absence from the league; the Earthquakes name, uniforms, and history (including the team’s MLS Cups in 2001 and 2003) remain in San Jose. For the most part, I’m happy about this. It shows the strength of the league to be able to return to an area th

If you are a homeowner in the United States, you may think that your homeowners insurance covers you in the event of any major catastrophe that may strike your home. Think again. In the United States earthquake damage to homes is not covered by standard homeowners insurance. Although other forms of insurance cover damage brought on by earthquakes such as car insurance, after examining your homeowner’s insurance policy a little closer, you will likely find that your home is not covered in the event of an earthquake.The presentation of an article on health insurance plays an important role in getting the reader interested in reading it. This is the reason for this presentation, which has gotten you interested in reading it!Accept the way things are in life. Only then will you be able to accept these points on health insurance. health insurance can be considered to be part and parcel of life.In the United States there are certain areas and regions that are more prone to earthquakes.

Hawaii Volcanoes National Park was evacuated after a swarm of small earthquakes that lasted for hours near Kilauea Volcano on June 17. Several miles of Crater Rim Drive have been closed because of high concentrations of sulfur dioxide. Other areas in park have also been closed, including several beaches. The national park Web site said the beaches were closed because they are “extremely unstable and poised to collapse without warning.”

Tuesday last week, while I was enjoying my Penang laksa at Penang Place, the earth moved.Tremors were felt in some parts of Singapore as reported by CNA. Ask Ogster and he'll say he didn't feel it. How about you Nalen?Here's the bulletin issued by the NEA's Meteorological Services Division (6 Mar 2007 at 2:15 pm):An earthquake was detected at 1:49pm, 6 Mar 2007 in CENTRAL SUMATRA, approximately 420km from Singapore. The magnitude of the earthquake is 6.6 on the Richter scale. The epicentre is located at latitude 0.3 South and longitude 100.4 East.In Sumatra, 70 people were reported to have perished. Dozens of buildings have been destroyed and hundreds others damaged.Is Singapore free from earthquakes?In known history, Singapore has not experienced an earthquake (see tremor).Singapore is located in an area sandwiched by the Sunda trench in the west and south, and the Philippine plate and trench in the east. Thus Singapore is located in a seismically stable zone, free from earthq

An earthquake of magnitude 7.1 has struck off the west coast of Japan's largest island, Honshu. Initial reports say at least one person was killed and 50 injured in the tremor that was felt as far away as Tokyo. A tsunami warning was issued for a short time for the Ishikawa prefecture, with waves of up to 50cm reported. Meanwhile, two powerful earthquakes also hit near Vanuatu in the southern Pacific. US seismologists reported them as having magnitudes of 7.2 and 6.0. The larger struck at 1140 (0040 GMT Sunday), and was followed 28 minutes later by the magnitude 6.0 quake, both located 335km (210 miles) south-east of the capital, Port Vila. There were no immediate reports of casualties or damage. However, police said they were checking remote islands where the quake was closer to land areas. Seismically active The Japan earthquake struck at 0942 (0042 GMT). Its epicentre was 300km (200 miles) north-west of Tokyo about 50km (30 miles) below the seabed, Japan's meteorological agency

1. Earthquake: shaking and trembling at the surface of the earth resulting from underground movement along a fault plane of from volcanic activity. An earthquake is a vibration or a shaking movement of the Earth’s surface. Earthquakes typically result from the movement of faults, quasi-planar zones of deformation within its uppermost layers. 2. Earthquakes can’t be prevented, but they can be mitigated. 3. Hypocenter is the point where the earthquake rupture begins, usually deep down on the fault. 4. Epicenter is the point on the surface directly above the hypocenter. 5. The Circum-Pacific belt is the zone in Pacific Ocean where about 90% of the world’s earthquakes occur. 6. The world’s deadliest recorded earthquake occurred in 1557 in central China (more than 830000 people were killed). 7. The Richter Scale is used to measure the magnitude of earthquakes, as determined by seismograph measurements of the height of ground oscillations during an earthquake. The Richter sca
