Ok..since I have unfrozen Seismology I will just post scientific data for those who want in-depth information. This will be
reserved for first-person sensory reports. If the ground starts to buckle and undulate, and a good-looking turn-on is not

We have just had 2 earth quakes on Kilauea: 3.6 and 4.5 magnitude.
No tsunami was generated, and I am disappointed that I missed feeling it. I was sitting here and noticed nothing. Hmmm... More usually occur and the pattern of the eruption usually changes when we get EQ's as strong as 4.5.

No excitement to report before I close down. No further earthquakes. I do not know the status of the eruption, which will likely change. I will find out in the morning when the first air tour flights check things out. It is possible that the current episode will stop and a new one commence in a few days. It just depends on what has happened to the structurs of the internal plumbing. More news in the morning, Hawaiian time. Aloha! and Hugs!

I always feel a little cheated when there is one I don't feel - that is, until a real bone rattler. Then, after I have anguished through whether it is ever going to stop shaking, and whether the ground is going to open up and swallow me, I promise myself never to go through another one. Then, after a while, the curious little kid in me starts to surface again... a vicious circle. Thanks for the good thoughts, though. Did you ever experience an earthquake, Ginny?

No, not yet. There have been some small tremors around here (one was centered in Littleton a couple of months ago), but I haven't felt them. I'm not complaining! I love thunder and lightning, and I don't mind hurricanes and blizzards so much (as long as I don't have to shovel or deal with floods), but I don't know if I could ever get used to earthquakes.
Supposedly the Boston area is due for a big quake, which would be a disaster since most construction around here wasn't built to withstand earthquakes.

I can't remember what the reasoning was, but if I find out, I will be sure to post it here! From your plate pictures, we don't seem to be on the fault line between two plates, but something did create all the mountains around here. (The White Mountains in NH are part of the Appalachian chain; not sure about the Green Mountains in VT. Actually, don't the Appalachians extend up to Maine?)

Minor earthquake reported
ASSOCIATED PRESS
(This Associated Press story was taken from the MetroWest Daily News.)
LITTLETON -- A small earthquake shook a large area of central Massachusetts this morning, scientists reported.
The brief tremor was felt shortly after 6 a.m., from Littleton and Acton to as far west as Worcester.
John Ebel, director Boston College's Weston Observatory, confirmed that a minor quake did take place, and said scientists were in the process of analyzing data on the seismic activity.
Police dispatchers in various towns reported hearing what they thought felt like an explosion. Others described it as sounding like a large truck, or low-flying jet. There were no reports of injuries, damage or power outages.

Earthquake wakes residents Wednesday
BOXBOROUGH - Residents of Boxborough and Littleton and surrounding towns got a rude awakening on Wednesday morning when an earthquake measuring 2.9 on the Richter scale was felt for a few seconds at about 6:09 a.m. There were no reports of damage although many reported hearing what sounded like an explosion. The force was enough to rattle dishes and startle pets. It lasted just a few seconds.
Police departments in Boxborough, Littleton, Maynard and Westford received many calls from startled residents who thought perhaps there had been an explosion nearby.
The strength of the quake was measured at the Weston Observatory. It was initially reported that it measured 2.4 but that was later upgraded to 2.9.
There is a fault line that centers in the Boxborough-Littleton area, and temblors are quite frequent, having been registered from time to time. No after-shocks were reported.

Oh heavens, I cannot feel earthquakes below about 3.5 magnitude. Those were faint echoes of a much stronger one long ago. The Berkshires, Poconos, White mountains, Adirondaks and the rest are all foothills of the Appalachians. Mt Katahdin in Maine is the northern terminus and Mt Oglethorpe in the Carolinas is the southern terminus of that great mountain chain. Interesting about the little Boston quakes. We have several hundred of the little ones a day and no one bothers about them.

G'morning, all. Any new EQ's in your area of the wiggly planet? All's quiet here. I don't think you can feel a 2.9 quake unless the situations are precisely right - origin close to you and to the surface. Mostly, you hear little things like dishes and windows rattling.

Gi, the Mediterranean end of the Iberian Peninsula is a plate boundary. I think there is no way to avoid earthquakes in Portugal. The good news is that it is most likely a sidways motion on plate edges - the least destructive (ask those living near the San Andreas fault!)

I remember when I was little my father telling me that the Appalachians were once as high as the Andes. The Appalachians are not just an eroded mountain range, they also consist of an eroded plateau to the west. You can tell this by the rock strata. In the eastern edge of the Appalachians the rock strata is angled indicating folding upward. To the western side the strata is horizontal, indicating an ancient plateau.
About the Andes, the largest river in the world (largest not longest) the Amazon once flowed from east to west. The Andes were pushed up along the western edge of South America, (they're still growing), causing the river to blocked from its outlet. The Amazon became an inland sea until it broke through to the Atlantic.

Great stuff, Cheryl! Thanks for posting that. I have not studied South American geology and that was new to me. I know the Appalachians are just the remnants of very old mountains, indeed. Btw, Mauna Loa is such a large landmass that it could hold the Applachians and several other mountain chains, as well. And that is just one mountain on this island!

I think the water and the situation of that fault is what keeps the stresses from building up. Something is lubricating it and I think it is in a direction in which the current plate movement is not active. That is good news all round. May it remain thus! However, you are wise about the insurance. We have it here, as well, though most of my damage will be to picture windows. The wall and garage builder living here reinforced all load=bearing members of the house and garage when he put on the hurricane "tie-down" straps which are supposed to keep the roof on the house during a hurricane.

A question about the plate boundary at Mediterranean end of the Iberian Peninsula. At one time the Mediterranean was a dry wasteland, something like Death Valley only larger. Then there was a massive fracture in the vacinity of Gibralter, causing the Atlantic to come flooding in on the desert. Could that have been the result of an earthquake on that fault? It would have been the most enormous waterfall. One I wouldn't have wanted to be anywhere near.

It was on our teletext in Oz. They are usually fairly accurate re - earthquakes cause I think they are quite interested. What they did say there was some damage in villages outside Rome - but none it seems in Rome itself - although the Pope was apologising yesterday for 2000 years of mistakes - perhaps that was enough to cause an earthquake - or should that go on geo-magnatism!

I've just been asked/told that we move to California. I am upset because it means more long-term commitment to something I do not want to do with a person who is capricious enough to leave me there and move on and I'd be stuck without home or friends...I think he is crazy!

Hundreds feared dead after huge undersea earthquake hits island
The death toll from a massive undersea earthquake which hit the Indonesian island of Sumatra yesterday is expected to run into hundreds.
The quake, measuring 7.9 on the Richter scale, struck at night, throwing people from their beds, flattening villages and leaving many thousands homeless across six provinces. Hundreds of aftershocks added to the damage and panic.
The true scale of the disaster was slow to emerge because the quake destroyed communications in the worst-affected region of Bengkulu, a province of about 1.2 million people near the epicentre.
Doctors in the provincial capital of Bengkulu town decided to treat casualties in a car park, fearing that aftershocks might bring down the state hospital.
They were said to have lost a number of colleagues in the disaster and had run out of blood supplies and anaesthetic due to the sheer number of casualties.
"Patients being operated on without anaesthetic could be heard screaming," said the state news agency Antara.
Electricity and water supplies had been cut and most telephone lines were down. Rescuers frantically dug through the rubble of ruined buildings in search of bodies and trapped survivors.
"It was very panicky. People were running everywhere and screaming after the quake hit us," said one resident.
Bengkulu airport was closed because of damage to communications equipment and to the passenger terminal. Some roads to the city were said to be blocked by landslides. "Many houses have collapsed and the walls on bigger buildings have been fractured," said one survivor.
"I helped to save three of my neighbours who I found had been trapped beneath the rubble of their homes."
There were reports that the island of Enggano, which is about 125 miles from Bengkulu town and has a population of around 1,500, had also been badly hit.
"About 90 per cent of houses on the island are damaged," said health department chief Ali Muchtar.
A total of 60 people were confirmed dead last night and almost 500 were reported to have been injured, but the toll was expected to soar dramatically once rescue teams reach the rural areas.
By comparison, last year's Turkish earthquake, in which 17,000 people died, was much less powerful, at 7.4 on the Richter scale. In addition, as a developing country, Indon-esia's emergency services are badly trained and very poorly equipped.
Seismologists said that the tremor was centred 20 miles beneath the Indian Ocean - quite near the surface in geological terms - some 400 miles north-west of the Indonesian capital Jakarta.
The quake was felt across much of the western half of the Indonesian archipelago, including Jakarta and neighbouring Singapore, where many residents fled their homes as the tremor rattled high-rise buildings.
More than 260 smaller tremors were recorded through the day, frightening residents and hampering rescuers. "The quake went on for many minutes," said Bengkulu police sergeant Hariyono. "Dozens of homes have been destroyed and almost all houses and buildings in the city seem to have been damaged. People are terrified every time they feel aftershocks."
Navy spokesman Rear Marshall Ontowiryo said two warships carrying food and medical supplies had been dispatched to the area.
Up to 20 rescue workers from Britain's disaster relief team RAPID UK were on stand-by after the group offered to help the Indonesian authorities.Spokesman Stefan Hopkins said RAPID UK, which helped after last year's earthquakes in Turkey, could use sniffer dogs and heat-seeking equipment to find survivors.

It is not unusual that aftershocks are as strong or stronger than the initial quake. That is what is frightening. The first shake loosens everything. The later ones make what is loose crumble, fall down and bury the unwary who remain inside. That is why no one will go back home after a strong one! Just as the 4 or so wave in a Tsunami does the most damage, so it is with earth quakes.

Strong Quake Rocks Taiwan
TAIPEI (Reuters) - An earthquake rocked Taiwan early on Sunday, injuring
more than 10 people, but there were no immediate reports of major damage,
seismologists and media said.
Semiconductor makers in northern Hsinchu Science Park, one of the world's
top microchip production bases and a motor of Taiwan's export economy,
were unaffected, the state-funded Central News Agency (CNA) said.
The Central Weather Bureau said the quake, registering 6.7 on the Richter
scale, occurred at 2:23 a.m. and was felt throughout the island.
It was centered 29 miles north of the sparsely populated Jade Mountain in
central Taiwan.
Operations at Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co and United
Microelectronics Corp were normal as there were no power outages at the
Hsinchu Science Park Taiwan's Silicon Valley, CNA said.
A killer quake last September caused widespread power outages islandwide,
disrupting production at TSMC, Taiwan's leading made-to-order foundry
chipmaker.
On Sunday, six aftershocks measuring between 4.3 and 5.1 on the Richter
scale jolted the island in the next two hours, the weather bureau said.
More than 10 people were rushed to hospital after either suffering bone
fractures or being cut by broken glass when they fled their homes in Puli in
the central county of Nantou, independent cable broadcaster TVBS said.
Three people were injured by falling rocks near Puli, CNA said.
Many residents in the area were afraid to return to their homes and wandered
in the streets, TVBS said.
One person jumped from his second-floor home in central Taiwan and was
slightly injured, the broadcaster said.
Puli, close to the epicenter of the devastating September 21 earthquake
measuring 7.6 on the Richter scale, suffered outages.
Last year's killer quake and a series of strong aftershocks killed 2,400 people
and wrecked 52,000 buildings on the island.
Taiwan lies on a seismically active stretch of the Pacific basin and
earthquakes occur frequently.

Iceland sits astride the Mid-Atlantic Rift which is where the ocean is spreading as the Pacific gets smaller. As the crust spreads and ruptures new magma rises and eventually surfaces into a new island - which is Surtsey's story. The mid-aisan problem is a puzzle since no known fractures exist there. You can bet the latest technology and the brightest grad students are rushing there to figure out what is happening. I'll let you know as soon I hear more.

Cocos Islands being Australian is a little more explicit, although I find it hard to fathom. (excuse pun). How can a 7.2 earthquake not cause any damage - the police apparently reported it was a very mild quake. Was it very deep seated or what. Also is it strange to have such a quake in the Indian Ocean - I don't think I have noticed such a one before.

I went through a 6.8 and 7.2 magnitude. The larger one did less damage because the epicenter was in the mantle beneatth 22,000 ft of water and the crustal plate. We all shook and glassware fell off the shelves but no buildings fell down. The 6.8 one was shallower and was a nightmare to ride out!

Earthquake Shakes Southwest Iceland
REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) - Many Icelanders awoke with a jolt Wednesday as an
earthquake shook the southwestern part of the island, knocking down a dozen houses but
causing no serious injuries.
The Meteorological Institute said the temblor had a magnitude of 6.6 and struck at 12:52
a.m. local time. The epicenter was close to Hestfjall, in the Grimsnes area of south Iceland.
The quake apparently followed an earthquake of similar magnitude on Saturday, which
caused some electrical and water outages.
A bridge over the Thjorsa was temporarily closed for
inspection but reopened Wednesday morning.
Hot water pipes broke between the town of Selfoss and the
villages of Eyrarbakki and Stokkseyri. Civil Defense officials
said about a dozen houses were destroyed and twice as
many seriously damaged in the Grimsnes area, a popular
place for summer cottages.
The U.S. Geological Survey in Washington also registered the magnitude at 6.6, and said
the quake occurred 6.2 miles below ground.
Before the past two quakes, the last event of that size in Iceland took place in 1910.
Iceland, where there are many active volcanoes, frequently experiences minor
earthquakes.

Apoyo Volcano, Nicaragua
******************************
Destructive Earthquake at Laguna de Apoyo, Nicaragua
---------------------------------------------------------------
Today, 6 of July, at 1:30 PM local time (19:30 GMT) a magnitude 5.4
earthquake occurred near the northern rim of Laguna de Apoyo (Apoyo
volcano), about 32 km southeast of Managua, at 11.96 N 86.02 E, focal depth
less than 1 km.
The shock was felt widely in the Pacific part of Nicaragua, there are also
reports from the Atlanic region. The event was felt strong in Managua
(Intensidad Mercalli V-VI), very strong (VI) in the city of Masaya (5 km to
the epicenter) and was destructive in the vicinities of Laguna de Apoyo.
There the maximum intensity might have reached VII or VIII. Numerous
landslides occurred in the crater walls, surface faulting was observed,
trees and electricity lines broke, total and partial destruction of
houses and electricity lines occurred. The road to the village at the beach
of Laguna de Apoyo was interrupted by landslides.
About 70 people were injured and four children were killed due to
collapsing walls or roofs of their houses.
At Masaya volcano, at about 8 km from the epicenter, minor collapses of
the walls of Santiago crater occurred. No changes in the degassing activity
of the volcano were observed.
In Masaya, one of the mayor Nicaraguan towns, houses, walls and other
constructions were damaged.
Electricity and telephone networks were affected in the vicinities of
Laguna de Apoyo. The cellular telephon network had a mayor blackout after
the earthquake.
One minute before the earthquake a precursor occurred; after the main shock
a series of aftershocks was recorded by the Nicaraguan seismic network,
many of them beeing felt in Masaya and even Managua. This activity is still
going on.
Laguna de Apoyo is a volcanic crater of 8 km diameter which was formed by
large volcanic explosions several thousand years ago. No volcanic activity
is known in historical times. The recent seismic activity (hopefully) has
no volcanic background but is caused by mayor tectonic faults trending NNW
at the northern rim of the crater.
The earthquake was one of the strongest seismic events in the Nicaraguan
volcanic chain in the last decades. and is comparable with the Managua
earthquake 1972 (10,000 deaths), the earthquake of Rivas 1985 (minor
damages), and the earthquake in the Fonseca Bay 1999.
It is expected that aftershock activity continues in the next days and
weeks. INETER maintains a rather dense network of seismic stations in the
area between the cities of Managua, Masaya and Granada, one station is
situated in the epicenter area of the Apoyo earthquake.
There remain hazards from the aftershock activity, especially due to the
possibility of other landslides.
Government, Civil Defense, local Fire Departments and other organizations
were very active attempting first aid.
Local people are prepared to sleep outside their houses during the next
nights, many families left their homes, temporarily. Others, especially
children, were evacuated to Masaya or Granada city.

EARTHQUAKES-
August 29 2000- Indonesian Islands Jolted By Strong Quake-
A magnitude 6.8 quake jolted Indonesia's Maluku Islands at 10:00 PM
(22:00) on Tuesday. There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries
but seismologists in that area predicted that a tsunami would occur.
The quake was followed 33 minutes later by a magnitude 5.9 aftershock.
Seismologists reported that the quake was centered about 50 miles
west-southwest of the capital city of Ambon, and occurred 21 miles beneath the
earth's surface.
August 29 2000- Colombia Jolted By A Quake-
A magnitude 4.3 quake jolted the region of Columbia on Monday
afternoon, but there were no immediate reports of injuries or damage. The quake
occurred 19 miles beneath the earth's surface. Last year a magnitude
6.2 quake struck the same region and killed at least 1,230 people. Also,
left 250,000 homeless.

A magnitude 4.5 quake hit SE Australia just after 11:00 PM (22:00)
Tuesday night. The quake was centered near Boolarra South, about 105 miles
SE of the state capital of Melbourne. This quake was by far one of the
strongest quakes to ever hit Victoria mainly of the region of its

Earthquake Startles California's Wine Country
NAPA, Calif. (Reuters) - A medium-sized earthquake jolted
northern California's wine country on Sunday, causing at least
one serious injury and cutting power to thousands as windows
shattered, bottles crashed off store shelves and people were
shaken out of their beds.
``It felt like a bolt of lightning hit the house. ... It was
just crash, and everything kept on rolling,'' Napa Valley
resident Brian Murdoch told KCBS radio after the quake,
measuring magnitude 5.2, hit at about 1:36 a.m. (4:36 a.m.
EDT/0836 GMT) near Yountville, about 50 miles (80 km) north of
San Francisco.
The city of Napa declared a state of emergency to cope with
the aftermath of the quake, although officials said that the
temblor appeared to have left more shaken nerves than actual
physical destruction.
``It's a real shock and rude awakening for us,'' Napa Mayor
Ed Henderson said as he inspected downtown damage.
``I think we're over the worst part. It depends on the
aftershocks. They say it will take from three to seven days to
determine what the aftershocks (are) or if there will be any.
We're kind of gearing up for that.''
Napa County Emergency Services spokeswoman Mary Jean
McLaughlin said inspectors found lots of broken windows and a
few cracks in buildings but the area appeared to have escaped
relatively lightly.
``Overall, there is no major structural damage,'' she said.
''The damage seems to be inside homes, inside businesses, things
falling off walls. ... Having gone through the earthquake, it
was scary.''
BOY HIT BY FALLING OBJECTS
A young boy who was hit by falling objects during the
earthquake was taken to Children's Hospital Medical Centre in
Oakland, where he was reported to be in critical condition.
Area hospitals treated one man for a heart attack as well as
several dozen people for minor injuries after the quake.
The United States Geological Survey office in Menlo Park,
California, reported that the initial earthquake was followed
by at least two aftershocks, both under 2 magnitude.
Jonathan Franks, a spokesman for Pacific Gas and Electric
Co., said that a total of about 10,000 homes lost power
immediately after the earthquake, although by midmorning
service had been restored to most customers.
''We've got fewer than 500 left without power, and we're
guess-timating they should be hooked up by noon,'' Franks said.
In the Napa Valley area, home to many of California's most
famous wineries, residents reported being shaken awake by the
earthquake, which was felt as far south as San Francisco.
``I woke up and jumped out of bed and screamed,'' one woman
told a reporter. ``I looked out my window and just (saw) blue
flashes of light all over the place.''
Employees at supermarkets were faced with aisles full of
smashed bottles and toppled cans, while many local businesses
reported the windows had shattered in the earthquake.
``It wasn't very long ... but it was really like jerky and
shaky. It was crazy. Look at the aisles,'' Frankie Herkins said
outside one supermarket.
``I went to my mom's house, which was across town, and all
her dishes were destroyed,'' another resident, Brian Snook, told
a television reporter outside the store. ``I came here. It's
destroyed. Wine bottles everywhere. We've got canned food
everywhere. It's just everything. Every aisle is destroyed.''
CLEANUP UNDER WAY
Pam Cody, a spokeswoman for the city of Napa, said the
cleanup was well under way, although the state of emergency
would continue amid the threat of aftershocks.
``At daybreak, city assessment teams have begun to assess
and repair damage to public facilities. Currently, there are 10
main water leaks, and water has been shut off,'' Cody said,
adding that trash containers were being distributed throughout
the city to assist with the cleanup.
Henderson, who described the quake as one of the strongest
he had ever felt, credited early precautions with heading off
what could have been a bigger disaster.
``We've really been pushing the seismic retrofit in our
city, and I think this will encourage some of the people to
really come along and get on board,'' the mayor said.
While local residents nursed their bruises and surveyed the
damage, officials warned that more aftershocks were possible.
But USGS geologist Steve Walter said the quake struck on a
little-known fault and was unlikely to be a precursor of
anything much more violent.
``This is a fault that in the past has not produced any
earthquake larger than magnitude 3. It's unlikely that it could
produce something much larger than what we've seen already,'' Walter said.

Victims seek aid to rebuild
By Lisa Shafer
TIMES STAFF WRITER
A day after a 5.2-magnitude earthquake rocked the Napa Valley wine country, a 5-year-old boy remained hospitalized in critical condition and hundreds of property owners continued to report damage.
As residents return from Labor Day weekend travels, Napa officials said they expect to get as many as 2,500 reports of structural damage.
At a meeting scheduled for 3:30 p.m. today, City Council members are expected to approve a request that Gov. Gray Davis declare a state of emergency for the area. Federal relief also is expected to be sought to help with damage a county emergency official said likely would top $15 million.
City officials said Monday that 72 people were injured in Sunday's earthquake. Its epicenter was along an unnamed fault three miles southwest of Yountville and six miles northwest of Napa.
Most injuries were minor, but at least three people required hospitalization.
The most seriously injured was Nathan Schank, 5, who was hit by up to 300 pounds of rock and mortar from a fireplace as the boy slept in his family's living room. Nathan, listed in critical but stable condition Monday night, underwent about 31/2 hours of surgery Sunday after being transferred to Children's Hospital Oakland. He will require several more surgeries to treat multiple fractures to his right forearm and a fractured pelvis, hospital officials said.
"He is in really, really critical condition," said nursing supervisor Luanne Palmer, adding that the boy had lost a lot of blood.
A 37-year-old woman was in stable condition Monday at Queen Of The Valley Hospital in Napa. She injured her leg after being jolted as she tried to check on her children, a hospital spokeswoman said.
Another victim, a 41-year-old Napa man, was discharged from a local hospital Monday afternoon after treatment for head injuries.
Conditions improved Monday for many residents temporarily left homeless.
A Red Cross shelter set up Sunday morning at the First Baptist Church in Napa closed Monday, but Red Cross officials said the shelter could reopen if needed.
Forty-one people, mostly residents of a damaged apartment complex on South Freeway Drive, slept at the shelter Sunday, spokesman Jason Smith said. At least 34 others registered with the shelter but then found other accommodations, he said.
By Monday afternoon, building inspectors had assessed 250 to 300 buildings reported damaged in the quake, said Lisa Harper, a city spokeswoman. About 95 percent of the houses inspected had at least part of a chimney topple, and she said there also were numerous reports of water heaters separated from walls.
aAs residents return to damaged houses after Labor Day, and as more property owners realize the city will inspect the damage upon request, the tally of damaged buildings could reach 2,500, Harper said.
The only building to initially receive a red tag -- meaning no one should enter -- was Kragen Auto Parts on Trancas Street. But a store manager allowed several reporters into the building Monday morning to show what he said was strictly "cosmetic" damage -- broken windows and fallen ceiling tiles. Later, city officials said they'd replaced Kragen's red tag with a yellow one, allowing limited entry.
Neal O'Haire of the county's Office of Emergency Services said it is hard to gauge whether the area will receive federal disaster relief, though he is hopeful.
"It wasn't a major catastrophe," he said. "But this is a relatively rare natural disaster. It's also an election year and there are a lot of people who need help."
Napa County, he said, would seek help to pay for public expenses and damage to civic buildings, as well as loans or grants for families. Many of the Napa victims, he said, live in older homes and have low to moderate incomes.
"Even if they have earthquake insurance, the deductibles are so high," he said.
At least one Napa resident found a silver lining as he cleaned up his house and barber shop after the quake.
George Alvarez, 68, a former Richmond resident who moved to Napa 15 years ago, discovered the earthquake had jostled some of his long-lost treasures into view.
Alvarez took a break from his Labor Day cleanup at George's Barber Shop to show off a few of his finds -- an old electric razor and two stuffed animals he once planned to give his grandchildren.
"That's the good thing about this earthquake," said Alvarez.
Another discovery he made was that old bottles of hair spray in his three-chair shop might need to be pitched. After one old bottle fell during the earthquake, its contents ate a hole in the linoleum floor, he said sheepishly.
Alvarez promptly nailed a velvet John Wayne painting back on the shop's wall in the hours after the quake. He did not have as much success fixing his storefront windows.
The yellow pages on his barber shop counter opened to "glass." Alvarez said he heard he wouldn't be able to get anyone to replace the plywood for days.
"Everyone in town knows when I'm open," he said. "But I want to see them."
Still, Alvarez considered himself lucky that his property experienced only minor damages.. Sunday was his 51st wedding anniversary.
"It (the anniversary) came in with a big bang," he said. "I won't forget this one!"

Simulating Quakes Rocks The House
Sydney - September 5, 2000
http://www.spacedaily.com/news/earthquake-00b.html
- Australian scientists have built a suburban house and then destroyed it with simulated cyclones and earthquakes to make future homes safer and more affordable. The scene of the destruction was the whole building test laboratory at CSIRO Infrastructure Systems Engineering at Highett, Melbourne, Australia. This facility has established a unique capability to measure the complete load distribution in a light-frame building – for the first time in the world. "It is now possible to evaluate the performance of any component of a house and relate it to the way the rest of the structure behaves when subject to severe events such as earthquakes," says Dr Greg Foliente of CSIRO Infrastructure Systems Engineering. "We can tell just which bits fail and how they hold together under severe stress – even down to a single nail. "The entire house is fully supported by load cells (sensors) at its base with each unit capable of measuring loads in three principal directions to duplicate the forces created in a major natural
isaster. A desktop computer manages the entire instrumentation and data visualisation system. "This is the first full-scale test house in the world to be instrumented in this way, and to this extent. "The data collected will enable combined testing and modelling for the design of new and innovative products and to determine locations in houses where they can be most effective," he says.
Dr Foliente says that the unthinkable is now possible thanks to CSIRO's new combined capability for whole house testing and computer modelling. "The door will soon be open to a whole host of new building materials and products, undreamt of previously," he says. These could include: high performance composites for building such as carbon fibres, waste plastic or even straw
energy dissipation devices such as (metal) friction dampers on joists to allow movement viscoelastic dampers such as rubber shock absorbers between different materials such as wallboard and framing. "Houses in disaster prone areas may be built of plastic or have suspension a bit like a motor car to ride out most typhoons or earthquakes with less damage and reduced injury to occupants," says Dr Foliente. "The earthquake house will give a new dimension to slashing red tape for exporters trying to break into overseas markets. "Once CSIRO's house is experimentally validated to a given construction method it will be possible to demonstrate that a new structural building product can meet local building safety requirements, or that an Australian building product can meet another country's building code. "For example, our combined modelling and testing capability can be used to show how an Australian designed house can meet the earthquake safety requirements demanded by building codes in America or Japan," he says.
Compliance to overseas standards and codes can be demonstrated in months instead of years, removing a major export impediment to Australian companies. The earthquake house is the result of CSIRO's international reputation in whole building testing and computer modelling and the research arm of the US National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) that commissioned this CSIRO project. "We have a very productive collaboration with Japanese and American researchers in various aspects of the project and, in particular, North Carolina State University in the US is a close collaborator, assisting with our computer modelling and testing," says Dr Foliente.

Photo release: A stellar cocoon soon to hatch to a butterfly 31 Aug 2000
_____________________________________________________________________
Observations with the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope show a previously unknown
richness of detail in the intriguing proto-planetary nebula CRL 618. CRL 618 is a superb
example of the transition taking place in the later stages of the life of a star like the Sun
after it has lost most of its mass and before it emerges as a fully-fledged butterfly-like
planetary nebula. CRL 618 is evolving so rapidly that we can literally watch through Hubble's
eyes the hatching of one of these heavenly butterflies from its dusty cocoon. This snapshot of
cosmic evolution provides important clues for current theories of the origin and evolution of
planetary nebulae. Observations with the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope show a previously unknown

example of the transition taking place in the later stages of the life of a star like the Sun
after it has lost most of its mass and before it emerges as a fully-fledged butterfly-like
planetary nebula. CRL 618 is evolving so rapidly that we can literally watch through Hubble's
eyes the hatching of one of these heavenly butterflies from its dusty cocoon. This snapshot of
cosmic evolution provides important clues for current theories of the origin and evolution of
planetary nebulae.
The sharp vision of the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope gives an unprecedented clear view
of a fascinating and complex nebula undergoing rapid evolution. The nebula, CRL 618, is an
example of a special type of nebula called a proto-planetary nebula. A hidden central star similar
to our Sun illuminates a gaseous shell ejected a few hundred years ago by the star late in its life.
The star's light escapes at the poles of a thick, dark, equatorial lane of obscuring dust. Here the dust
lane is thinner so symmetric nebulous regions can form above and below the equatorial plane.
The Hubble observations show a nebula with complex jet-like features protruding at different angles
from the poles - telltale signs of massive outflows of material spewing out at incredible speeds.
Outflow speeds of more than 700,000 km/h have been measured in earlier observations. Smoke-ring
features are seen in the jets, which may arise from powerful shocks generated as gas is ejected out at
irregular intervals and pushes out into the surroundings.
From cocoon to butterfly
Proto-planetary nebulae represent the transition phase between the last stages of a red giant star's
life and the later planetary nebula phase where most of the star's mass has been ejected.
Stars, like the Sun, spend most of their life quietly converting hydrogen into helium. However, when
the hydrogen in the core is exhausted, they start a short phase of much more rapid evolution. They
then grow in size and brightness, become cooler red giants and start to eject large amounts of gas
and dust as a slow stellar wind.
When the star has lost most of its mass, it heats up again and brightens so that the ejected material
begins to glow. At the same time, a much faster wind starts to sweep through and clear out the
cocoon of obscuring material and so a butterfly-like planetary nebula is born.
Snapshots of the cosmic evolution
CRL 618 is one such object in transition from a highly evolved giant star to the planetary nebula
phase. The proto-planetary nebula phase is thought to take between a few hundred years and a
thousand years. This, astronomically speaking, rapid evolution makes CRL 618 one of the very few
astronomical objects where evolutionary changes have been observed directly over the last twenty
years and where direct observations of cosmic evolution are possible.
Testing theories
Proto-planetary nebulae are excellent objects on which to test theories of the origin and evolution
of planetary nebulae. However the enigmatic structure of this nebula remains a puzzle to
astronomers and challenges their theories. This Hubble image shows that as material is ejected
it forms complex shapes and symmetries, rather than the spherical structure simple theories predict.
Clearly some powerful processes must be at work.
Proto-planetary nebulae often show a bipolar symmetry. Current theories explain this symmetry by
invoking binary stars that are rotating around each other, maybe in connection with planetary systems
and strong magnetic fields, and that these processes then shape the powerful symmetric jets of
ejected gas. Despite being able to observe objects like CRL 618 over periods spanning human
generations, and despite its, in a cosmic context, fast changes, we are essentially still observing
a snapshot in cosmic time. Alexander Tielens from the Kapteyn Astronomical Institute in the
Netherlands, who has studied the nebula with ground-based telescopes, explains: "We speculate
that the protruding jets observed in the Hubble image might be the cause of the more intricate
structure seen in more evolved planetary nebulae. Maybe the jets are rotating, or precessing about
the central star and 'draw' structures in the gas. The star seems to be using these jets to carve out the
butterfly-like structures from its cocoon, which are so prominent during the later planetary nebula
phase. If so, we might see pieces of the larger puzzle coming together, greatly helped by Hubble's
high resolution."

EARTHQUAKES-
Sept 11 2000- Taiwan Jolted By Three Aftershocks-
A strong quake that caused landslides and minor damage in east-central
Taiwan over the weekend was followed by three moderate quakes-which was
reported Monday. The first aftershock, at magnitude 4.4, struck 11
miles NW of Hsilin late Sunday. On Monday, the same area was hit again in
the morning by a magnitude 4.0 quake, followed by a magnitude 4.9 quake
later that day.
Sept 11 2000- Japan's Island Jolted By Quake-
An earthquake preliminary magnitude of 5.2 struck a chain of volcanic
islands off Tokyo on Monday, but there were no reports of damage or
injuries. The quake was centered near the Izu island chain and occurred 6
miles beneath the seabed. Less powerful quakes occurred after the
magnitude 5.2 quake struck. Over 13,800 quakes (number of quakes felt by
humans) have occurred since Mt. Oyama became active on June 26.
Sept 13 2000- NW Colombia Jolted By Strong Quake-
A magnitude 5.9 quake struck the Andean mountains of NW Colombia at
5:54 AM (0554) local time on Tuesday. The quake was felt for hundreds of
miles, but no reports of damage or injuries were reported. The quake was
centered near the city of Los Santos in Santander Province, about 155
miles NE of the capital, Bogota. The quake was not destructive because
it occurred at the depth of 102 miles beneath the earth's surface.
Sept 13 2000- NW China Struck By Powerful Quake-
A magnitude 6.6 quake struck China's NW province of Qinghai at 8:28 AM
(0828) Beijing time on Tuesday, but there were no immediate reports of
damage or injuries. The quake was centered in a remote area between the
cities of Xinghai and Maduo. The quake was followed by three large
aftershocks, including a magnitude 5.2.

Earthquake hits Warwickshire, England
The biggest seismic event in Britain for 10 years ....
SEISMIC ALERT: WARWICK, WARWICKSHIRE 23 SEPTEMBER 2000 04:23 UTC 4.2 ML
http://www.gsrg.nmh.ac.uk/alert_info.htm
BGS have received many reports, from the Police, the media, the Emergency Planning Officer and residents in Cheadle (85 km to the north), Gloucester (65 km to the south), Peterborough (95 km to the east), Birmingham, Coventry, Warwick, Rugby, and Leamington Spa, of a felt event at 04:25 UTC this morning (23 September 2000). Felt reports describe "we were alarmed", "the bed moved", "the whole house shook", "we were woken from sleep" and "the whole building trembled". The BGS rapid-access networks detected an event at 04:23 UTC.
The following preliminary information is available for this earthquake:
DATE : 23 September 2000
ORIGIN TIME : 04:23 45.8sUTC
LAT/LONG : 52.28o North / 1.61o West
GRID REF : 426.5 kmE / 265.0 kmN
DEPTH : 13.1 km
MAGNITUDE : 4.2 ML
INTENSITY : 5+
LOCALITY : Warwick, Warwickshire
Historically, a similar earthquake occurred near Tewksbury, some 50 km to the south west with a magnitude of 4.1 in 1768. More recently, a magnitude 3.0 earthquake was felt at Stratford-upon-Avon in May 1994, 17 km to the south west. The largest earthquake within 100 km occurred at Bishops Castle near the Welsh border in April 1990, with a magnitude of 5.1 (almost 10 times the ground movement and 30 times the energy of the Warwick earthquake). It was felt over the whole of Wales, most of England and into Ireland and Scotland

I am all curiosity... Have you ever felt an earthquake??? In Britain?
I am glad you posted the article in the other EQ topic. It reminded me it was there (actually I froze it by mistake - still do no know how - and got this one going before I figured out how to unfreeze it. I will use the other one for the long posts like the articles and this one for current updates. Our next big one will have all of the discussion and what is being done and how we are coping on Seimology topic 9... Hope it is far away in time. The same goes for the ones which hit anywhere in the world where long, ongoing news items update conditions. This is the quick-fix topic...the other is the long term one.
Or not... There are no hard and fast rules in Geo... just like any other place on Spring!

As yet I have never felt an earthquake ...in Britain or elsewhere .....
This last earthquake was of a magnitude that many people in Warwickshire and the surrounding counties not only felt it but were concerned enough to bombard the media about it .....
Thanks for clarifying about the Geo topics, Marcia, I'm not always sure where things go ...so feel free to move things if they go in the wrong place ....

ALPINE FAULT 2 ( continued from above)
The next earthquake on the Alpine Fault is expected to start fires and
topple some buildings in Christchurch cause liquefaction, sever
infrastructure and break windows. In Blenheim it will start fires, ruptures
roads, cause seiches in water bodies, topple buildings and disrupt trains
(the main trunk line runs through Blenheim). The West Coast will have
services disrupted, rivers may change course, essential transport links
will break, seiches will affect water bodies. The following West Coast
towns among others are directly threatened by the fault.
They are: Haast, Fox, Franz Josef, Whataroa, Springs Junction and St
Arnaud.

Strong Quake Jolts Japan
A magnitude 5.1 earthquake rattled homes in
central and western Japan on Thursday at 1:18
p.m. local time, injuring a woman who was trapped
beneath fallen lockers in a ski resort restaurant in
the city of Shiozawa. The quake prompted officials
to halt bullet train services between Tokyo with
Niigata for more than two hours as a precautionary
measure. Two major highways in the region were
also temporarily shut down for inspection.
Shaking was widely felt throughout Niigata
Prefecture and in the neighboring prefectures of
Nagano, Gunma and Yamagata as well as the city
of Yokohama. Thursday's quake, which was
followed by a magnitude 3.8 aftershock less than
two hours later, was the second to hit the region
within two days.
Japan's Meteorological Agency reported that the
quake was centered in the central area of Niigata
Prefecture and occurred approximately 13 miles (20
km) beneath the earth's surface. The seismologists
reported that the tremor was not related to
Tuesday's quake.

Strong Earthquake Hits Alaska Coast
Reuters
Jan 10 2001 2:17PM
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (Reuters) - A strong earthquake of 6.7 magnitude
rattled coastal Alaska on Wednesday, authorities said, but no
significant damage or tidal wave threat was reported.
The quake struck at 7:03 a.m. local time (11:03 a.m. EST), centered
65 miles southwest of Kodiak Island, Alaska, or 330 miles southwest of
Anchorage, and was felt across the region, according to the National
Earthquake Information Center in Golden, Colorado.
The West Coast & Alaska Tsunami Warning Center in Palmer, Alaska,
measured the quake at 6.9, and pinpointed it at 20 miles below the
sea floor.
Residents reported homes shaking as far away as Anchorage as well as
in smaller coastal cities like Perryville and King Salmon.
"The ground trembled. I was still at home at the time and the blinds
rattled and windows shook," said Paul Smith, assistant to the chief of
police in Kodiak city, on the sparsely opulated island in the Gulf of
Alaska.
Alaska typically sees a half dozen quakes each year above magnitude
6. Wednesday's tremor was the strongest since a magnitude 7 in the
same waters off Kodiak in December 1999, said geophysicist Paul
Whitmore at the tsunami warning center.
"We did not feel it here, but there were reports in Anchorage and down
in Seward," Whitmore said.
The tsunami center issues tidal wave warnings after coastal quakes
measuring 7.1 or higher, Whitmore said. Wednesday's quake was
expected to produce aftershocks, most likely within 30 miles of the
epicenter.

Strong Quake Shakes South Mexico, Felt in Capital
MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - A strong earthquake measuring 7.6 in
magnitude on the Richter scale shuddered through southern Mexico on
Saturday, shaking buildings as far away as the capital, authorities and
witnesses said.
There were no immediate reports of deaths, damage or injuries as a
result of the earthquake, although magnitudes at such levels can be
destructive.
"The quake measured 7.6 on the Richter scale and happened at 11:34
a.m." a spokesman at the National Seismological Office told Reuters,
adding it looked to be centered close to the coast of the southwestern
state of Chiapas, bordering Guatemala.
Lamps and other furniture wobbled in offices and houses in Mexico
City, some 450 miles from Chiapas, one of Mexico's poorest states.
"We still have no report (on the impact of the earthquake)," a
spokesman from the government's National Civil Protection Agency told
Reuters.

Earthquake Shakes Central America - Sunday update
SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador (AP) - Weary rescuers battled blocked
roads and landslides to hunt for survivors Sunday while others prayed
for the dead after an earthquake that killed more than 200 people.
Body-hunting dogs, sent in from the United States and Mexico, roamed
across the ruins of the Las Colinas neighborhood, buried by a landslide
when the magnitude-7.6 quake hit late Saturday morning.
Centered off El Salvador's southern coast, the temblor was felt from
northern Panama to central Mexico - a distance of more than 1,100
miles.
``The situation is grave,'' said Mauricio Ferrer, chief of the National
Emergency Committee. The nation's main airport was closed and
hundreds of roads were blocked by landslides, slowing relief.
Pope John Paul II on Sunday urged international assistance for the
victims.
Mexico was first to send substantial help, with three planeloads. The
United States was quick behind, with rescue crews and supplies. Offers
of assistance came from Spain, Taiwan, Panama, even Guatemala,
which itself suffered damage - and two deaths - in the Saturday quake.
National Police and rescue groups said 150 bodies had been recovered
from Las Colinas alone by midday - but in the post-quake chaos,
rescuing took precedence over accurate counting.
The National Emergency Committee reported 193 dead, 350 injured
and 1,000 missing nationwide - though its toll of the dead from Las
Colinas was 60 less than the number of bodies from the same area
reported by the city morgue.
National Police counted 234 dead nationally, 2,000 injured, 4,692
houses destroyed and 16,148 damaged. Eighty-seven churches were
damaged as well - including the ruined Our Lady of Guadalupe Church
overlooking Las Colinas.
``We will need to do some crying today, and there will be time for that.
But we all need to understand how lucky we have been,'' the Rev. Peter
Danaher of Lindenhurt, N.J., told somber, red-eyed parishioners
worshipping before the rubble of brick and stone that had been their
church.
The only surviving wall behind Danaher displayed a cross in a
stained-glass window and an icon of the Virgin.
The sound of hymns drifted a few hundred yards down the ravine to
rescuers digging in Las Colinas - and Danaher used a portable speaker
to be heard over the intermittent, grinding roar of earthmovers and
generators from the disaster scene below.
``I am not worried about rebuilding the church. That can be done in
five months or five years, it doesn't matter,'' Danaher said. ``That is a
question of brick and concrete. Ours is a question of lives and human
spirit.''
Only three survivors had been recovered from Las Colinas, but
hundreds of people worked without sleep to hunt for more, many using
only shovels, even bare hands.
``It is very dangerous here, but we are going to keep hunting. We are
going to take them out alive or dead,'' said Juan Sanchez, a Green
Cross rescue worker.
``There are more than 300 houses that were destroyed, and this could
continue because there could be more landslides.''
Local seismologists had recorded more than 500 aftershocks by
midday Sunday - most imperceptible but some fierce. They helped to
shatter the nerves of people living beside wrecked houses.
Many residents of San Salvador slept in the streets or cars overnight,
tablecloths or curtains covering windows for privacy.
The quake also hit hard elsewhere in this nation of 6 million.
Mayor Jose Perez of Comasagua, 17 miles west of the capital, said 95
percent of the houses there were flattened or badly damaged. He said
four people died, though reports Saturday had put the number at 35.
In Santa Ana, about 35 miles northwest of the capital, the
116-year-old El Calvario church collapsed, killing at least one
employee. The Red Cross said 13 people died in nearby Sosonati.
Ten people died when a landslide buried a bus on the highway between
San Salvador and Zacatecoluca to the east.
The quake knocked out El Salvador's telephone service and electricity
for several hours.
A 1986 earthquake centered near San Salvador killed an estimated
1,500 people and injured 8,000.

Rescuers Dig for Quake Survivors Amid Shocks
SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador (Reuters) - A wave of aftershocks rattled
buildings and set off fresh landslides in El Salvador on Monday,
frustrating rescuers in their search for survivors of a quake that killed
more than 400 people and may have buried at least 1,200.
Despite an estimated 800 aftershocks registering up to 5 on the
Richter scale over the last three days, rescuers were buoyed after
digging out a 22-year-old man alive late Sunday even as aftershocks
in Central America's tiniest nation continued to send people scurrying
from buildings.
With rescuers passing him water and oxygen, Sergio Moreno survived
over 30 hours buried beneath debris and earth after Saturday's
7.6-magnitude quake, local media reported.
Thousands of people had been left homeless and the death toll was
expected to rise in this country of 6.2 million people that is slightly
smaller than the state of Massachusetts.
Witnesses, who flew by helicopter above some towns and villages that
rescuers had yet to reach, reported many homes buried under
mudslides. Authorities have not included the victims in these areas in
the official death toll.
President Francisco Flores has ordered 3,000 coffins from Colombia.
Most of the dead were pulled from the rubble in the suburb of Santa
Tecla about 12.5 miles (15 km) west of the capital San Salvador, where
a massive mudslide engulfed as many as 500 middle-class homes.
Raquel Barrera, 6 weeks pregnant, lost her son and husband-to-be
when an avalanche of mud and boulders buried their home.
"We were going to get married in a week or two," said Barrera, 33, a
pharmaceutical saleswoman, who was working away from the area when
the quake struck. "I'm pregnant and that gives me the will to live."
One 80-year-old woman died from hundreds of stings after swarms of
bees raged around hills after Saturday's quake attacking several
people, hospital officials said.
In Santa Tecla, hundreds of emergency workers and volunteers
struggled to shovel dirt from around collapsed homes in a sea of mud,
tree limbs and rubble. Dazed survivors milled around the mounds
where their homes once stood.
Concern for more victims centered on Comasagua, a town of roughly
18,000 people about 18 miles east of San Salvador in the nation's
main coffee-growing region, where a Reuters correspondent saw scores
of homes buried. Officials and survivors estimated at least 40 people
died in the area but said they had been unable to inspect the full
extent of the damage.
Flores said the government was intensifying efforts to ferry food,
blankets and tents to the homeless and clear roads of trees, earth and
buried vehicles.
Aid was rushed in from abroad, including U.S. helicopters, Spanish
sniffer dogs, Turkish and French medical personnel and search and
rescue equipment, and paramedics from around Latin America.
Funds were committed too, as Britain pledged $885,000 in emergency
aid, the European Commission promised an initial $1.88 million and
Japan $650,800. Italy extended $3.66 million in aid and said it would
send a team of medical experts and non-government organization
workers to assess the situation and see how best to allocate the funds.
FRAYED NERVES
Flores tried to calm nerves of citizens who frequently fled from
already-damaged buildings to escape falling debris during the
continuing aftershocks.
He assured citizens that the worst was over, quashing widespread
rumors that the aftershocks could trigger tsunami, or powerful tidal
waves, or volcanic activity.
"Another event of such great magnitude will not occur," Flores told
reporters early on Monday.
"We urge people to keep their doors open (to be able to leave
buildings during aftershocks) and to keep calm," he said.
Salvador's worst quake in at least a decade killed about 403 people,
injured 779 and left 1,200 missing, according to El Salvador's National
Emergency Committee.
Still, heeding the president's call that people return to work, traffic
increased gradually in the capital San Salvador, offices began to open
and some commercial flights left the airport. But it was anything but
business as usual.
"I'm having to run outside all the time. I've been doing this for three
days. It's terrible, it frays your nerves to think the roof could cave in at
any time," Claudia Monta Rosa, a waitress, told Reuters.
The quake, whose epicenter was about 65 miles (105 km) southeast of
the capital San Salvador, off the Pacific coast, affected areas
throughout the sugar- and coffee-growing nation.
SLEEPING IN STREETS
Throughout the nation, families slept overnight on streets, huddled
around makeshift fires, fearing fresh seismic activity would bring down
their homes.
With electricity cut off in many areas, soldiers and police patrolled
villages to prevent looting but there were occasional reports of
burglaries and some fighting between survivors.
Weeping callers flooded radio programs pleading for tents, food and
information about missing relatives.
The quake was felt across El Salvador, Guatemala, Nicaragua and
Honduras and as far north as Mexico City.
Guatemalan officials said four more bodies were discovered in that
country on Sunday, raising the death toll there to six. Other Central
American nations reported no fatalities.
In El Salvador, foreign visitors, who watched roads bounce and
buildings crumple during Saturday's quake, were scrambling to leave
after authorities reopened the airport late Sunday.
"The aftershocks wear you down physically and mentally. Every time
there's a tremor you don't know how long it will last," Jacques
Chartrain, who had been working for a Canadian telephone company in
Santa Tecla, told Reuters.
"I'll be leaving because basically I don't have an office now. There's
nothing left."
At least 1,000 people died in a 1986 earthquake in El Salvador and
witnesses said Saturday's quake rivaled that disaster in breadth and
violence.

Small Earthquake Rattles Manhattan
NEW YORK (AP) - Pictures rattled, bottles shook and residents as far
away as Newark, N.J., were rattled Wednesday morning by a magnitude
2.4 earthquake centered on the Upper East Side of Manhattan.
No injuries or damage were reported.
Dan Davis, a geology professor at Stony Brook University on Long
Island, said the earthquake began at 7:34 a.m. and lasted a few
seconds.
Jim Donaghy was shaving inside his Upper East Side apartment when
he felt a boom, followed by a slight shaking.
``You know those big construction Dumpsters they use when doing
work on a building? It sounded like someone dropped one of those,''
Donaghy said. ``That's what I thought it was.''
The rattling could be felt as far away as Newark, 13 miles to the south.
Davis, a geology professor at Stony Brook University on Long Island,
said earthquakes are not rare in the densely populated area. He said
the last significant quake was a 4.0 tremor in 1985 in a Westchester
County suburb, about 15 miles north of New York.
Standing in front of a building where residents reported ``significant
shaking,'' Mayor Rudolph Giuliani said there was no need for New
Yorkers to worry because even a more powerful earthquake, magnitude
4 or 5, ``would not have an impact on large buildings.''
Donaghy, who once experienced a magnitude 4.0 earthquake in Los
Angeles, said the incident left him curious but otherwise unfazed.
``This is New York,'' Donaghy said. ``You sort of get used to having a
lot of crazy things happening around you.''

220 die as Gujarat bears brunt of massive quake
NEW DELHI: A severe earthquake... rolled
across the entire Indian subcontinent on
Friday, rocking buildings in cities situated
as far apart as India's Chennai and Pakistan's
Karachi. ...the toll at 220 in Gujarat,
reported to have borne the brunt of the
quake...
The US Geological Survey, however, reported on
its website that the earthquake, the biggest
in 150 years, had a magnitude of 7.9.
Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, Delhi,
Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Tamil Nadu
and Pondicherry also felt the tremors...
The quake occurred at around 8.46 a.m.
and was epicentred around 20 km northeast
of Bhuj and 300 km southeast of Karachi, Pakistan's largest city of 14
million
people, Indian seismologists said. The
tremors lasted for around 30 seconds.
The epicentre of the quake was located at
23.6 latitude and 69.8 longitude.
Ahmedabad... 12 people had been killed
and scores injured as several buildings
collapsed, trapping many people. Power
and telephone services, too, had been
disrupted and phone lines in Bhuj had
snapped.
"Three buildings have fallen in our
locality... "All of them were four- and five-storey buildings ... there
must have
been a lot of people trapped...
A report from Rajkot said at least 19
students of an engineering college in Morbi
area were trapped as the structure collapsed.
Delhi... people felt dizzy from the swaying...
It was the same in Chennai and Pondicherry, further to the south...
Tremors were also felt in Vijayawada and surrounding areas.
In Rajasthan, the quake damaged some portions
of a historic fort and a haveli in Jaisalmer.
The back portion of historic Salam Singh Ki
Haveli cracked and fell on the roof of a neighbouring house.
Two slabs of the upper portion of `Hawa Pol' inside the historic Golden
Fort in Jaisalmer
also fell on the ground... tremors were
more intense in areas bordering the Arabian
Sea.
In Pakistan, a child and an adult died when
their two-storey home in Sindh city of
Hyderabad collapsed...
Reports from Kathmandu said the tremors
caused panic among residents in the
Nepalese Capital as they fled their homes...
"At first I felt dizzy and thought I was
not feeling well but when things began to
shake a lot for sometime I realized it was
an earthquake so I yelled at other family
members to go out to safety,"

India Quake
This fault was the Allah bund fault that caused the 1819 quake.
Shaking lasted between 20 seconds to 2 minutes so I'm making taking wild
guess, that the rupture was anywhere between 100 - 200 kilometers.
Heck the shaking was felt thoughout South Asia, as far as Chennai !!

The ASC also has some info, but we are still working on it as this event
develops.

Pair Rescued 10 Days After Quake
BHUJ, India (AP) - Soldiers searching for the bodies of earthquake
victims rescued a brother and sister Monday who survived 10 days
trapped on the second floor of their damaged building, living off cereal
and water.
``Everyone had given up hope of finding any survivors. This is a
miracle,'' said Bakshi Singh, inspector general of the Border Security
Force.
The rescue came even as demolition teams were clearing away the
ruins of collapsed apartment buildings in Bhuj and other towns of
India's western Gujarat state, and authorities turned to the
monumental task of finding shelter for some 600,000 people left
homeless by the Jan. 26 quake.
The two survivors were discovered by a team of soldiers who had gone
into Bhuj's Karsana neighborhood to help a resident search for a
relative's body. Once there, they met a policemen who said he had
heard faint cries for help, said Nazim Khan, a team member.
The soldiers checked the area and spotted a man waving through the
grill of a second-story window of his damaged apartment building. The
entrance was blocked by rubble, but 20 soldiers formed a human
pyramid to reach the second-floor window, where they discovered the
sister inside, said Khan.
``I was surprised to find someone alive. Then we climbed up, and
found there was another,'' Khan said.
The pair were uninjured, but weak. They had long ago finished all they
had in the kitchen - cereal - and had been drinking only water, Khan
said. The man could walk and talk, but his sister had to be taken out
by stretcher after soldiers cleared the building's entrance.
After a quick check up, the unidentified siblings were strong enough to
walk, doctors told the team. Khan said he believed they left the
hospital and went to relatives outside Bhuj.
The 7.7-magnitude earthquake, which was centered 12 miles from
Bhuj, has killed more than 17,000 people, and the toll is expected to
rise to 30,000 as more bodies are found when rubble is cleared, said
Gujarat's Home Minister Haren Pandya. The injured numbered 66,758,
Gujarat state officials said.
The dead have been cleared from all but three of 400 villages in the
region. The recovery of bodies was expected to end midweek.
Meanwhile, authorities were undertaking ambitious plans to relocate
thousands of people from devastated villages to new settlements,
selecting sites and lining up materials and equipment.
But first, officials were urging quick action to stop refugees from the
quake zone from moving to other parts of the country in search of food
and shelter, straining support systems elsewhere.
``Immediate relief is required in the form of tents and plastic sheets,
or else people will begin to flee the region,'' said P.K. Lahiri, the
principal secretary to Gujarat's chief minister, Keshubhai Patel, the
state's top elected official.
Authorities struggled to pump relief to remote areas, but there was
criticism that people close to distribution centers and on main
transportation routes were getting most of the aid, while millions of
others in far-flung areas had not been reached.
Respiratory infections have spread among survivors, but health officials
said there were no signs yet of an epidemic.
Huge communal kitchens have sprouted up around the quake zone. In
Ahmadabad early Monday, 500 people gathered at a kitchen for
breakfast. Women sat on the floor, making fried bread while cooks
stirred pots of potatoes and vegetables.
Officials said electricity had been restored to 80 percent of the affected
areas, which were plunged into darkness after the temblor.
Engineers were surveying villages in a first step toward rebuilding.
``We are going in military style. We will give priority to those who want
the rubble removed from their present villages and to stay there,'' said
M.S. Patel, a senior official supervising relief efforts.
For those moving, an estimated 400 new settlements were planned for
worst-affected region of Kutch, where homeless villagers are now
sleeping in tents and in the open on the dew-soaked ground.
Almost 125 international agencies, Indian voluntary groups and
individuals have offered to send in money and equipment for the new
settlements. Land is identified but work is likely to begin only by April,
officials said.
``We are far from being on the way to recovery,'' said Lahiri. ``Millions
of people are without any place to live, food to eat, clothes to wear or
any kind of social security.''

New Tremor Shakes Quake-Hit Indian State
NEW DELHI (Reuters) - A new tremor rocked India's earthquake-hit
Gujarat state late on Thursday, sending terrified residents of the main
city Ahmedabad fleeing out of buildings.
The tremor registered 5.3 on the Richter scale and struck at 10:25
p.m., with its epicenter 12 miles northeast of the town of Bhachau,
officials said.
With nearly 90 percent of its buildings flattened, Bhachau was one of
the towns worst hit by the January 26 earthquake of 7.7 on the Richter
scale which killed 30,000 and left hundreds of thousands homeless.
Since then there have been at least five aftershocks of more than five
on the Richter scale, making thousands of people nervous about
staying inside even so far undamaged houses, for fear of falling
masonry.
"Naturally, many people ran out of buildings when they felt the tremor
around 10:25 p.m.," P.A. Dixit, an Ahmedabad city official, told
Reuters by phone.
Though aid from all over India and the world has been pouring into
Gujarat, there have been complaints of poor coordination of relief
operations and slow disbursement of assistance.
"Against a requirement of over 60,000 tents in and around Bhuj alone,
we have so far received just a little over 3,500," said District Magistrate
for the town of Bhuj, Anil Mukim.
PSYCHIATRIC HELP FOR SURVIVORS
To assist people to deal with the trauma of the January 26 earthquake
-- and fear of continuing aftershocks -- the neighboring state of
Maharashtra has offered to provide psychiatric training to doctors in
Gujarat to teach them how to deal with earthquake survivors.
Maharashtra officials said they gained the expertise to deal with
quake-related trauma after quakes left 10,000 dead in the state in
September 1993.
"Usually the level of suicides among people who have lost relatives
and property in earthquakes is very high. We were able to prevent
that" in parts of Maharashtra, said T.C. Benjamin, Maharashtra's
secretary of medical education.
Vipul Bhatt, manning a government earthquake help line, said some
people were weeping in the streets of Ahmedabad after running out of
their houses on Thursday evening.
"They are still on the roads," Bhatt said by phone from Ahmedabad.
But he said there had been no reports of damage.
Hundreds gathered in the middle of the night in the city to buy a
special "Aftershock Edition" brought out by a local Hindi daily
newspaper to report on the 5.3 magnitude tremor.

Abraham in Bombay)

New Salvador Quake Kills at Least 15
SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador (Reuters) - At least 15 people died when a
6.1 magnitude earthquake shook El Salvador Tuesday morning,
flattening scores of homes in a provincial town and spreading panic
throughout the country.
The quake struck one month to the day after a 7.6 magnitude temblor
on Jan. 13 killed at least 844 people in the tiny Central American
nation of 6.2 million inhabitants.
"We can say that at least 15 people have died," said Carlos Lopez, a
spokesman for the Salvadoran Red Cross.
Earlier the YSKL radio network said its reporters had counted eight
dead bodies, two of them in the provincial town of Cojutepeque, and
six in surrounding villages.
The new quake sent houses tumbling to the earth in the town of San
Vicente, some 40 miles (60 km) east of the capital, according to Public
Works Minister Jose Angel Quiros. He gave no casualty figures.
"There are about 200 (collapsed) houses where people are buried,"
Quiros told a local radio station.
A reporter with the YSKL radio network said he had seen at least 15
people being taken to a hospital in San Vicente. Some of the fallen
homes had been damaged by the January quake, the radio reporter
said.
FELT IN HONDURAS AND GUATEMALA
Tuesday's earthquake was also felt in the neighboring Central
American nations of Honduras and Guatemala.
Damage in the Salvadoran capital was minimal, witnesses said.
Air force planes were flying reconnaissance missions to assess
damage.
Several people were buried by falling masonry in the town of San
Martin, 11 miles (18 km) from the capital, the Red Cross said.
Quiros also said there had been damage in the towns of Los Chorros,
12 miles (20 km) west of the capital, and in La Leona, 33 miles (53
km) to the east. Others reported that houses had collapsed in
Cojutepeque, 21 miles (33 km) from San Salvador.
The U.S. Geological Survey in Golden, Colorado, said the quake, which
struck at 8:22 a.m. (9:22 EST/1422 GMT) and lasted for about 20
seconds, measured 6.1 in magnitude.
Earlier the National Earthquake Information Service in Colorado put the
magnitude of the quake at 5.7 and said its epicenter was 60 miles (96
km) south of the capital.
The Geological Survey said the epicenter was 15 miles (24 km)
southeast of San Salvador.
January's earthquake killed at least 844 people and wrecked more
than 278,00 homes in this tiny nation of 6.2 million. Hundreds of
people are still unaccounted for.
QUAKE STRIKES IN MORNING RUSH-HOUR
Tuesday's earthquake struck during the morning rush-hour in the
capital, sending hundreds of panic-stricken office workers fleeing into
the streets.
"Everybody has left their offices and is in the streets, people are
panicking," one witness said.
Schools were evacuated as a precaution. Witnesses said many children
were in tears.
Witnesses said the temblor was followed by an aftershock about an
hour later. John Bellini, a geophysicist at the National Earthquake
Information Service, said Tuesday's quake was similar in intensity to
an aftershock on Jan. 16 that caused no damage.
In Honduras, office workers in the capital Tegucigalpa fled office
buildings and dashed into the streets as the ground started to shake.
A spokesman for the Tegucigalpa fire department said, "We have
reports of the quake from most parts of the country but we have not
heard of any damage or casualties."

Earthquake Hits El Salvador
SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador (AP) - A small earthquake shook the
capital of El Salvador on Tuesday, panicking residents still recovering
from two devastating quakes in a month. There were no reports of
damage or injuries.
The 3.6-magnitude quake hit at 11:35 a.m. (12:35 a.m. EST) and was
centered in San Salvador, said El Salvador's Center of Geotechnical
Investigations.
National Emergency Committee director Mauricio Ferrer said he had not
received any reports of damages or injuries.
``It was strong, but fast,'' said Dore Ayala of the Salvadoran Red
Cross, who noted that the earthquake was felt strongly in much of the
capital.
The quake, which lasted for only a short time, rocked buildings and
prompting people to run into the streets. Workers quickly returned to
their jobs, however, and the quake did not affect traffic, telephones or
electricity.
Two powerful earthquakes, on Jan. 13 and Feb. 13, killed at least
1,246 people and injured another 8,000. The first quake was
magnitude 7.6. The second was 6.6.

Seismicity Report for Northern California
Northern California Seismicity Report for the week ending Feb 22, 2001
This report provides a brief summary of earthquake activity recorded by
the U.S. Geological Survey Northern California Seismic Network in Menlo
Park and the University of California Berkeley Seismological Laboratory.
It is automatically generated each Wednesday shortly after midnight,
Universal time (UT). UT (ie., Greenwich Mean Time) is 8 hours ahead of PST
or 7 hours ahead of PDT.
Because it is not possible to review all of the earthquakes before this
report is generated, it may contain errors. Please report errors or
provide suggestions and comments to ncsn@andreas.wr.usgs.gov
The report no longer includes maps showing earthquakes for the entire US
or world. Those maps are now available from the U.S.G.S. National
Earthquake Information Center at
http://wwwneic.cr.usgs.gov/current_seismicity.shtml. In addition, all
earthquake data can be retrieved from the Northern California Earthquake
Data Center at http://quake.geo.berkeley.edu/cnss/catalog-search.html.
Please note that some of the earthquake data in this report have been
reviewed by seismic analysts. Consequently, the parameters that describe
the hypocenter, magnitude, origin time, and solution statistics may differ
slightly from the information contained on the real-time earthquake web
page. The differences reflect revised arrival times at seismic stations
and the analysts' decisions to include or exclude information from seismic
stations.
The minimum magnitude ( M) values in the following bullets reflect the
smallest earthquake which the network can routinely record within the
region. During the previous seven-day period ending at midnight (UT)
Wednesday, our seismic networks recorded
11 M less than 2.0 earthquakes in Northern and Central California see
http://quake.wr.usgs.gov/recent/weekreps/latest/cencal.gif (map) (within
dashed polygon of figure). The largest event to occur this week in this
region was a microearthquake of magnitude 3.0, 10 miles WNW of Los Banos,
CA at 03:40 AM UTC Friday, 02 16, 2001 (07:40 PM PST Thursday, Feb 15,
2001).
17 M less than 1.2 earthquakes in the San Francisco Bay area see

Earthquake Shakes Pacific Northwest
By LUIS CABRERA, Associated Press Writer
SEATTLE (AP) - A strong earthquake shook the Pacific Northwest on
Wednesday, sending people fleeing into the streets of Seattle and knocking
out power to thousands. There were no reports of injuries.
The magnitude 7.0 earthquake hit at 10:55 a.m., according to the National
Earthquake Information Center in Golden, Colo. It was centered 35 miles
southwest of Seattle and felt across the region, as far away as Salt Lake City,
700 miles away, and into Canada.
``Everyone was panicked,'' said Paulette DeRooy, who was in an elevator
descending from the 15th floor of a Seattle building when the earthquake
struck. She and several others scrambled out and onto a fire escape.
Screams erupted at a nearby hotel, where Microsoft founder Bill Gates
(news - web sites) was addressing an education and technology conference.
He was whisked away as his audience bolted for the exits. Some audience
members were knocked down by others trying to get out and overhead lights
fell to the floor.
The Seattle airport was closed and the tower and other offices were
evacuated, Federal Aviation Administration (news - web sites) spokesman
William Shumann said.
The FAA ordered a national ground stop for Seattle, which means no flights
to the Northwest's largest city were being allowed to take off anywhere in the
country. The center handling air traffic in Washington and Oregon, near
Auburn, Wash., was operating on backup power.
Utility officials estimated that 17,000 customers in the Seattle area were
without power.
In Olympia, about 10 miles from the epicenter, legislators, government
workers and visiting school children flooded out of the Capitol and other
buildings. The state Senate was in session.
``The chandelier started going and the floor started shaking. Someone yelled
get under the table and so we did,'' Sen. Bob Morton said. ``The sudden
violence let us know that this was a bad one.''
Cracked plaster, gilt and even paintings fell from the walls, but Morton said
he saw no sign of major structural damage.
Officials were particularly afraid the Capitol dome would collapse and people
linked hands as they walked down the marble stairs under the heavy dome.
``If that rascal had tumbled down, it would have been all over,'' Morton said.
Seattle's popular Pioneer Square neighborhood, site of recent Mardi Gras
riots, was damaged. Bricks from buildings were piled up on sidewalks.
Structural damage also was reported at Bellevue Community College, which
was shut down for the day.
``I thought a car had hit my building,'' said Sam Song, who owns a restaurant
in Everett, 30 miles north of Seattle. ``Then the ground started moving
around.''
In downtown Portland, Ore., office buildings swayed for 20 to 30 seconds.
The Multnomah County Courthouse was evacuated and employees were
gathered in a park across the street while officials inspected for damage.
Michelle Noonan of suburban Lake Oswego said the quake was strong
enough to move things around in her house.
``Everything was shaking,'' Noonan said. ``It knocked over a wood pile
outside house. Books fell off the shelf.''
Earthquake magnitudes are measures of earthquake size calculated from
ground motion recorded on seismographs. With each scale, an increase in
one full number - from 6.5 to 7.5, for example - means the quake's
magnitude is 10 times as great.
A quake with a magnitude of 6 can cause severe damage, while one with a
magnitude of 7 can cause widespread, heavy damage.
A 5.0 quake that struck the Puget Sound area on Jan. 28, 1995, was
described as the strongest to hit the area in 30 years, since a 6.5 earthquake
struck April 29, 1965, injuring at least 31 people. In 1949, a 7.1 quake near
Olympia killed eight people.
The Northridge quake that struck the Los Angeles area in January 1994
caused an estimated $40 billion in damage and killed 72 people. It was a
magnitude 6.7.

Seattle will be digging out for a few days. Fortunately they don't expect aftershocks because the center was so deep.
I have been trying to find out if there was much damage to the Pike Street Market. Michael has a couple of friends who work there.

(pauses to look at home.microsoft.com, finds this excerpt)
Microsoft founder Bill Gates was addressing an education and technology conference in Seattle as the quake hit. He was whisked away as his audience bolted for the exits. Some audience members were knocked down by others trying to get out.
Furniture even rattled in the eastern Washington, almost 200 miles east of Seattle.
Across the Canadian border in Vancouver, about 30,000 customers lost power briefly. Some businesses reported using earthquake procedures, asking employees climb under desks for protection.

From the N Y TIMES:
Most Benign Quake Type Hit Seattle, Experts Say
By CAROL KAESUK YOON with SANDRA BLAKESLEE
BELLINGHAM, Wash., Feb. 28 — In what could be viewed as a bit of luck
for riot and rain-plagued Seattle, the Puget Sound region emerged from a
magnitude 6.8 earthquake today relatively unscathed. Scientists say the
relative lack of damage from this powerful quake came, in large part,
because it originated so deep within the earth — some 30 miles beneath
the surface, 40 miles southwest of Seattle.
Researchers say today's type of quake, a slab, or Benioff zone,
earthquake, is the most frequent and potentially most benign of the types of
earthquake in the region.
"This is the earthquake we've been expecting," said Dr. Craig Weaver,
regional coordinator for the United States Geological Survey earthquake
program. "In the 1900's we've had a lot of these and we're going to
have more." Dr. Weaver said the survey deployed teams of researchers
immediately after the quake, looking for landslides and earth movement from
a chartered plane as well as looking for effects of the quake from the
ground.
Scientists said the quake originated very close to a similar-size
earthquake in 1949 which did much more damage, at least in part, because
buildings then had not been built to be as resistant to earthquakes.
Scientists emphasized that today's quake, centered roughly beneath the
delta of the Nisqually River between Tacoma and Olympia, should not be
a sign that the region is off the hook, as they said slab earthquakes
remain as likely tomorrow as they were yesterday. And they note that
other types of earthquakes, generated offshore or in shallow faults like
the one lying directly beneath Seattle, that are sure to visit the
region will very likely be more damaging.

I found out this morning that the epicenter was just about under Shelton,the town where Mike used to live.
We were in Alaska when the big one hit there. We lived between Anchorage and Kodiak in the bush. It was as bad there, but bad enough.I didn't think much of it at first because the dishes seem to rattle a lot in Ak. It got my notice when I saw a pickup going down the road with no one in it. when I looked out the window to see what was going on I could see the airport tower swaying and the guys running away from it.
As the tower chief said it was the ride of a lifetime. The tower wasn't damaged and in acouple of hours it was up and running.
The tower in Anchorage just folded out onto the tarmack like an accordian opening up. The men who stayed up therejust walked out when it settled.

The Olympia, Washington Earthquake: A Vancouver BC Perspective
by Neil Hodgins 03/01/01
I was surfing the ‘Net yesterday afternoon, when I went to my bookmarked site for the Cable News Network (CNN) looking for some information on a segment they had done at Christmastime on restored World War 2 Spitfire fighter aircraft that had been sold and auctioned off on E-bay when I came across the bulletin about the earthquake. I immediately turned on my TV and switched to CNN and then CTV NewsNet (a Canadian all-news channel). I was very concerned as my younger sister Lorraine and her husband, Scott, live in Burnaby, a suburb of Vancouver, British Columbia. Being a little familiar with the geological structure and history of the West Coast, I was more than a little worried for Lori, as I knew that a strong, damaging earthquake in the Seattle area held the very real potential of causing damage or injury in Vancouver. I fired off a quick e-mail to her, knowing that she would likely be either in her office, or teaching a class (Lori teaches website design and illustration part-time between a private colle
e in Vancouver and at a local Community College in Burnaby). I didn’t hear back from her right away, so I kept glued to the TV and occasionally checked my e-mail, but nothing had come in.
Finally, around 7pm EST, Lorraine called, much to my and my Mom’s relief. She was fine and in good spirits, but naturally a little un-nerved by the day’s events. Here are a few of her impressions and thoughts on the quake:
“It was scary. I was teaching my web class in downtown Vancouver when the quake hit just before 11 am our time. First thing we noticed was a low persistent rumbling noise that sounded like a big heavy truck passing the building, but I noticed that the sound was growing louder and lasting longer any truck would make--that’s when I knew something was wrong. Then there was a brief pause, about 1 or 2 seconds, when the sound returned, but much louder, and that’s when thing’s started shaking noticeably. There was a feeling that the building was on water, and there was a waving motion to it. I could feel the waves passing through my body, and that left me feeling a bit disoriented and nauseous. Many of us on our floor weren’t sure of what was happening, and we were all more or less upset or excited by it; but I knew when the shaking wasn’t easing off that it must have been an earthquake. The quake seemed to only last 10 or 15 seconds at the most, but if it had gone on longer, I probably would have hidden under a
esk or run out of the building. Nobody on our floor was injured, and I don’t know of anybody personally who was, but there was some property damage in some area’s of the city, with cracked walls and plaster, stuff knocked of shelves and such. I heard that there was a house in north Vancouver that was badly shaken and that had to be declared condemned, but I don’t know anything more about it.
Scott was at home when it happened. He’d worked the night before, and had gotten off at midnight, so he was asleep when the quake hit. It woke him up out of a sound sleep. He said everything was shaking and banging about quite sharply, especially the pictures on the wall. The noise was very loud, as if a freight train were passing through the house. Some of the furniture moved, including the bed with Scott in it! But we found no real damage when we looked things over carefully when I got home. This wasn’t Scott’s first quake, as he’s felt them while he lived in California for a time, but even he said this was a strong one...
I was very nervous about earthquakes before coming out to BC. After all the things you’ve (me, the author) told me about them and how this area is the most geologically active region in Canada, and overdue for a major quake, I gathered up all the pamphlets from the local library about earthquake safety that I could. We put together an earthquake kit sometime ago (bottled water, blankets, canned food, a couple of portable radio’s, spare cash, etc.), but the college doesn’t have one set up. The authorities say you should have a kit with you regardless of where you are, so we’ll probably make up one for the car too...
This was my first real earthquake, and I don’t really want to go through another--it’s NOT a good feeling. I don’t know what I would have done had it been much worse.”
I’m very glad it wasn’t worse too.

Stuff lnocked off shelves.
Thats why you will always see dishes and glassware etc behind shatterproff glass in stores in Alaska.
Tremors are a way of life. You get so used to them you don't even notice them after a few years living there.

New Tremor Hits Quake-Stricken Indian StateM
Reuters
Mar 4 2001 8:17AM
AHMEDABAD, India (Reuters) - A moderate tremor measuring 5.2 on the
Richter scale Sunday hit the western Indian state of Gujarat, still
recovering from a giant earthquake that killed an estimated 30,000
people in January.
Residents of high-rise apartments in Ahmedabad, the state's biggest city,
ran out of their homes in panic, but there were no reports of casualties or
damage to property.
The tremor was felt at around 1:45 p.m. in parts of Gujarat and lasted
eight to nine seconds, an official at the local meteorological office told
Reuters.
The epicenter was located some 62 miles from Bhuj. The town took the
brunt of January's quake, which measured 7.7 on the Richter scale.
Most of the people in Bhuj, however, said they did not feel Sunday's
tremor. "One or two people called up asking if I had felt the tremor around
lunchtime, but I didn't feel anything," said one resident.
Earlier Sunday, a quake measuring 5.1 on the Richter scale shook India's
northeastern region and parts of northern Myanmar, a meteorological
department official said.
Police and fire service officials said there were no reports of any
casualties or property damage in the area.
The earthquake's epicenter was located in the Himalayan region close to
the Chinese border, the official said.
India has felt a series of tremors since the January 26 earthquake hit
once-prosperous Gujarat, leaving thousands of people homeless.
Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee has called off traditional celebrations
at his home for a Hindu festival of colors next week as a mark of respect
to the thousands who died in the Gujarat quake.

NO MORE EARTHQUAKES THAN USUAL, BUT 2001 SO FAR IS DEADLY
With more than 35,000 estimated deaths from earthquakes in the first
two months of 2001, it may seem like the earth is more restless than
usual. Not so, according to scientists at the U.S. Geological Survey's
National Earthquake Information Center (NEIC) in Golden, Colo.
"While it's true that more people have died from earthquakes during
the first two months of this year than in the last two years put
together, the average number of earthquakes per month has stayed about
the same," said USGS scientist Waverly Person. "Overall, earthquake
activity isn't on the rise," said Person. "We're simply able to locate
more lower magnitude earthquakes due to advances in the technology, and
when a deadly quake occurs, those images of death and destruction come
right into our living rooms on the evening news."
In January 2000, there were six "significant" earthquakes that were
responsible for seven deaths. Significant earthquakes are defined by
NEIC as "earthquakes with a magnitude of 6.5 or larger, or ones that
caused fatalities, injuries or substantial damage." In January 2001
there were also six significant earthquakes, but the combined death
toll from both the January 13 and February 13 earthquakes in El
Salvador, and the January 26 quake in southern India is estimated at
30,000 to 40,000.
In February 2000 there were five significant earthquakes, with one
death, whereas in February 2001 there were three significant quakes,
with 325 deaths.
"Dense urban populations coupled with weak building structures near the
epicenters are responsible for most of the fatalities, in any year,"
Person said. "The annual, long-term average is 10,000 deaths worldwide,
but that figure varies greatly, from year to year. In 2000, for
example,
there were only about 225 people killed in earthquakes, whereas,
fatalities totaled 8,928 in 1998, and 2,907 in 1997. The deadliest year
of the 20th century was 1976, when at least 255,000 people, and perhaps
more than 600,000, were killed after one quake rocked Tianjin (formerly
Tangshan), China."
Person said a typical year for earthquakes consists of 18 major
temblors
(magnitude 7.0 to 7.9) and one great quake (8.0 or higher). During the
first two months of 2001, there were seven earthquakes with magnitudes
of 7.0 or higher, and two others with magnitudes of 6.8. The highest
magnitude of any quake in February 2001 was the magnitude 7.3 in
Southern Sumatra. Seattle suffered a magnitude 6.8 temblor on February
28, but no deaths were directly attributed to the earthquake, and
damage, though extensive, was far less than it would have been in many
cities of the world.
2-2-2
QUAKES
The greatest number of earthquake-related deaths this year has been in
India, where as many as 30,000 people may have been killed due to the
7.7, January 26, earthquake. That number is estimated to go as high as
50,000. The death toll from the January 13, 7.7 quake in El Salvador
and the February 13 magnitude 6.6 is estimated at around 1,169. Many
of the El Salvadorans were killed when earthquake-triggered landslides
crushed their homes.
The USGS estimates that several million earthquakes occur in the world
each year. Many go undetected because they hit remote areas or have
very small magnitudes. The USGS now locates about 50 earthquakes each
day, or about 20,000 a year, with an average of 20 earthquakes per day
in California. Real-time information about earthquakes can be found at
.
Since 1973, the USGS has provided up-to-date earthquake information
to emergency response and mitigation teams, government agencies,
universities, private companies, scientists and the general public.
This information includes determinations of the locations and severity
of seismic events in the United States and throughout the world,
including the rapid analysis of significant earthquakes on a 24-hour
basis. Seismologists around the world use this information to increase
their understanding of earthquakes and to better evaluate earthquake
hazards. As the nation's largest water, earth and biological science
and civilian mapping agency, the USGS works in cooperation with more
than 2,000 organizations across the country to provide reliable,
impartial, scientific information to resource managers, planners, and
other customers. This information is gathered in every state by USGS
scientists to minimize the loss of life and property from natural
disasters, contribute to the sound conservation, economic and physical
development of the nation's natural resources, and enhance the quality
of life by monitoring water, biological, energy and mineral resources.

Hi
OF ALL PLACES, you would NEVER expect the United Kingdom to get earthquakes.
Some people I know from Britain ask me how do I cope living in the Shaky Isles (their name for NZ). I answer: we do not get earthquakes daily (about 150-250 felt every year)but about one magnitude 6 earthquake every year (sometimes more sometimes less). The damaging ones that exceed 6 are a bother when they happen
but for the most part unless seismicity is unusually high you need not worry.
But having said that, we are overdue for a magnitude 8 plus earthquake that WILL do some damage and kill a few people, we are watching and waiting.

Post-Quake Stress May Cause Quakes
By ANDREW BRIDGES, AP Science Writer
A buildup of stress in the Earth's crust after an earthquake can trigger a
sequence of quakes on neighboring faults - sometimes years later, say
scientists who studied the two largest quakes to hit Southern California
in the last decade.
Seven years and a dozen miles separated the magnitude-7.3 Landers
and magnitude-7.1 Hector Mine earthquakes northeast of Los Angeles.
But the researchers say stress in the Earth's brittle upper crust following
1992 Landers quake likely triggered the second.
The first earthquake, followed hours later by the magnitude-6.5 Big
Bear earthquake, killed one person and caused $100 million in damage.
The 1999 Hector Mine quake resulted in few injuries or damage since it
struck a more remote area.
The report, published in Thursday's issue of the journal Nature, suggests
that careful monitoring of stress levels in the Earth's crust following
earthquakes can help scientists in their quest to predict quakes.
``It's a recognition that earthquakes do occur in clusters and sequences.
And if we can understand those sequences maybe we have a chance at
understanding when the next ones will occur,'' said Andrew Freed, a
geophysicist at the Carnegie Institution in Washington, D.C., and the
paper's co-author.
The estimated magnitude-7.8 earthquake that laid waste to much of San
Francisco in 1906 relieved so much stress that the region experienced
few quakes for decades.
But others, such as 1989's Loma Prieta magnitude-7.1 earthquake near
San Francisco that killed 69, may portend seismic activity to come,
Freed said.
In big earthquakes, Freed said, large amounts of stress are induced on
the Earth's lower crust and upper mantle. Those regions cannot sustain
the stress over time and slowly snap back.
As those regions relax, the stress is taken up by the upper crust,
eventually causing earthquakes that can hit, domino-like, months or
years later, Freed said.
That stress is relayed between faults, often over miles and years, is not
in dispute. Other models point to the movement of groundwater as the
prime relayer of the built-up stress.
``The basic tenets of the theory are pretty sound: When you move a
fault, you increase stress,'' said Susan Hough, a U.S. Geological Survey
(news - web sites) seismologist.

Rob, lots of people think I am crazy for living on the world's most active volcano. Give me a nice steady predictable lava flow any day to a tornado. I'll even take the possibility of a tsunami (we are overdue) or another good-sized quake. They are a matter of course just as yours are. Just be safe down there. Your volcanoes go ! BOOOM !

Hi
How humbled I am by your gracious welcome.
Earthquakes abound in the North Island as we have had several in the subduction zone of the NE corner of the country. Magnitudes were 3.7 3.9 4.0 and 4.1. None were more than 27km down.
Ngauruhoe (the perfect Andesite cone attached to Tongariro - and stealing Tongariro's magma)is clogged up. The vent is blocked and I am wondering if it is going to settle into a longer term pattern of snooze-BOOM-snooze. The last eruption was 1975 and was explosive in nature. It has erupted lava several times including during 1954 when the last lava flow (aa in appearance)came down.
I think it is the next one to blow in New Zealand.

Hi
I forgot to mention how rough American weather systems appear as opposed to the relatively benign systems that come to New Zealand.
I have very high respect for supercell storms such as what pound the Texas panhandle every spring. They are devilish and unpredictable (they make New Zealand storms look tame). The worst we might get is an F1 or at worst F2 tornado go down a street in Greymouth on the West Coast where the most powerful and unstable storm systems tend to strike. Thunderstorms are frequent in the mountains during spring here and as always the worst time on the Canterbury Plains for them is also spring/summer. We had a storm last November riding on the leading edge of a cold front and I have NEVER heard thunder like what we got then or seen lightning nearly as brilliant as this (flashes every 5-10 seconds for the full 2 hour duration of the storm. Fork lightning was very frequent and there were something like a dozen lightning strikes). For a province where usually the worst a storm on the plains can do is 3-4 maybe up to 12 lightning flashes, this was unreal. And the rain. 5mm of rain dropped in 20 minutes - again something u
usual for coastal Canterbury. But Texas and like states get this every year - WOW!!!!!!!!!
Are you Democrat or Republican OR so infuriated by politics you could not care less unless the USGS get a funding cut and your job goes? Reason why is I am wondering how real Global warming is and based on stuff happening in New Zealand
think it is to some extent not so far fetched as a Republican would tell you.
The glaciers are retreating again. Record breaking droughts are in progress in Canterbury Marlborough and Nelson, while record breaking rains hit Northland, Auckland, Coromandel, Bay of Plenty and the Hawkes Bay. For 3 consecutive years we have had a drought of one form or another, whether driven by La Nina, El Nino, or just a drought. Storms (not thunderstorms but REAL storms)are also hitting more. A powerful storm in October last year dropped 200mm in a day over Banks Peninsula (3 months rain in a DAY), and packed winds of between 120-180kmh. The mess was still being cleaned up in some areas in December.

Rob, I try to stay as far away from politics while remaing informed for boting purposes. The power in the United States is full of checks and balances so one greedy or immoral president is not going to change much in the long run. He is more like the news-at-6pm man who reads prewritten speeches. The real power goes in in committess which for legislation.
The USGS is a most important part of the United States Government and it better be funded. However, I know a most wonderful retired gentleman who is now in his vigorous 80's who actually drew those infernal quadrangle maps whe had to study. Topography was not my best subject, but it most assuredly was his. He sent me one of his maps so I could see his name on it, and, the monograph explaining it all. I am a very big supporter of the United States Geological Survey, and their memebers work for very small wages. Cutting their funding would be outrageous and unthinkable.
As for global warming, I have discussed this far into the night with far wiser men than I over steaming cups of coffee and tea. No matter how mightly we think we are, global climates are cyclical and there is only minimal and short term things we can do to it. Look back in histoy to mini-ice ages and summers with nohing but rain - or those without rain. They come and go, but we are like the flea on an elephant, and cannot do much than poision one another in the short term. The Earth and the cockroaches will endure as they have always done!

Hi
Marcia, that was dead on target with both barrels. I only mention it because I am doing a Bachelor of Science in Geology and geography (where we are looking at global change)is one of the subjects I am doing to advance the degree. Politicians do some INSANE things. I almost had a heart-attack when I read in 1997 that the Institute of Geological and Nuclear Sciences (the New Zealand equivalent to the USGS)was going to have a funding cut. Then I almost had a second when no one in Parliament raised no objections that I can remember!!! Now, anyone who has bothered to read Sir Geoffrey Cox's books (Slumbering Giants - the central North Island volcanoes, and/or Fountains of Fire - the Auckland volcanoes), or Jefley Aitken's masterpiece Rocked and Ruptured - New Zealand faults, will know that geologists and geology students say we are overdue for a disaster. We are. It may be an unpleasant shock to land owners at Lake Taupo to find out that the lake is in a dormant volcano's crater. It will be unpleasant for Welli
gtonians to find out their water supply reservoir are a top the Wellington Fault as sag-ponds. And the shocking truth about the Alpine Fault at Franz Josef got out last year, causing a disturbance...................
But both you and I agree do we that IF funding DOES get cut, people WILL die because the volcanoes and faultlines and geologically unstable strata zones that developers want to build on or somehow develop for human use, that should be watched are no longer monitored OR are monitored BUT because of the funding cut, are not watched closely enough?
At any rate I would expect an increase in funding for the IGNS because if the pollies in Wellington wanna live, then the WELLINGTON fault needs to be monitored 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If the Alpine Fault is NOT the first fault in New Zealand to deliver a magnitude 8 earthquake for over a century, the Wellington Fault or Wairarapa Fault will.

Hello Rob. Your posts are fascinating and you're a real geologist. I just post here from time to time. You can read my posts and laugh. May I ask where you live in New Zealand? You'd mentioned North Island, but near which city? Are the incredibly old rocks on North Island or South Island? Or both?
I'm glad that you generally don't get the extremes of weather that North America, and especially some parts of the United States are prone to get. I read somewhere that North America has the worst (as in extreme) weather in the world. I live in Pennsylvania which is fairly benign weather-wise. Still, three years ago Pittsburgh got hit with a tornado. That was supposed to be virtually impossible. I think the operative word there was either "supposed" or "virtually".
As for earthquakes, Pittsburgh has a very small one back in the eighties. Also, if a quake occurs on the New Madrid Fault things will be get a bit shaky in Pittsburgh. I'm not sure exactly how bad it could be, though.

My fingers are crossed for both New Zealand and for us. I need to find a fault map to post here of the New Zealand faults so we can keep track of what is shaking down there. Also, I need to find a source of earthquake reports in that part of the world. I cannot believe you have had so few recently that they have not made my reports. Which, come to think of it, is frightening in itself.
Cheryl, you are a treasure for asking questions and being curious. It makes us do our homework and to share with one another what we have discovered. Pittsburgh is NOT built to withstand earthquakes. I have some good friends there *grin* and want them protected as best we can. Imagine the chaos in New York City should one hit there! Sudden appreciation for creative ingenuity would soon follow upon the heels of circle-running and screaming. Virtually originally meant "truly" as in virtue (no lies). Now, it means "almost". It is far less reassuring!
Rob, my delight in your wonderful posts is boundless. You have a warm welcome and a large leather chair here for comfort and consideration. Now, off to find that fault map which I will put in Geo 9 which was seismology 101 when this began. It is where I post longer news items and such.

Hi
I live in Christchurch, New Zealands third city, and home to 340,000 people.
It is a top the Canterbury Plains (vast alluvial plains laid down by the Waimakariri and Rakaia Rivers. Other rivers like the Rangitata, Waiau and Hurunui also contributed to a lesser extent. The first two have freedom of movement - unlike the Columbia River for example they are not confined to vallies when out on the plains and provided they can get round the stop banks (you would call them levees I think), they can go anywhere. The Waimakariri in geological time has flowed north and south of the present position of Christchurch and THROUGH it!!!!!! It is the single biggest flood hazard in New Zealand and it is controlled by having commercial operators remove gravel shifted by the river in floods as well as a complex network of stop banks covering old flood channels some of which empty into the headwaters of the Avon River. The Avon is a spring fed river rising in western Christchurch about 5 minutes drive from my place (on the edge of an old flood channel), that flows east to the Avon Heathcote estuary a
d is very scenic.

Hi
Forgot to mention that Christchurch is in the South Island on the East Coast.
Two large basaltic strato-shield volcanoes (extinct)exist south-south east of the city. The Lyttelton volcano and Akaroa volcanoes are 6-10 million years old and a third volcano existed between them but is so eroded it is not obvious it existed.

Hi
The belt of faults running through the central North Island are to do with the subduction zone beneath the North Island. The large lake is Lake Taupo (Taupo volcano resides underneath it and NO ONE is forward to the day when THAT volcano awakens). The Wellington fault is the big one running out of Wellington and the Wairarapa fault is the smaller but still quite big strand east of Wellington running SW-NE. The biggish one begining northwest of Christchurch (north is straight up the map)is the Hope Fault (last quake was Mw 7.3). I must have mentioned the land west of the Alpine Fault is moving north-northeast toward Wanganui and the Taranaki area.
Some of the earthquake years/magnitudes are wrong.
1994 was a 6.7 near Arthurs Pass - either not mentioned or confused (due NW of Christchurch)
1995 had a 6.0 near Cass (due NW of Christchurch)

Hi Cheryl
Where do you live? Christchurch is a neat city with an annoying NE for a prevailing wind. It comes of the Pacific and in winter is almost as cold as the southerlies that bring our bad weather. It can go on for literally weeks or even months (in a La Nina)with out real change and it can be absolutely infuriating biking home in it. Northwesters are wicked wonderful and wacky. They come infrequently enough that you can look forward to them when they do. A full blown northwester is warm, dry and ideally light to moderate in strength.
Southerlies on the other hand can drag thunderstorms, squally showers with hail,
snow and heavy rain with them (sometimes all at once). A storm in 1998 with a classic gust front came in with marble size hail and carpet bombed us for about 20 minutes - clearing out five minutes before I rushed down to school (due southwest)for end of year exams!!

Fascinating stuff, Rob. I think Aotearoa gets very little note here simplty be cause we never had a real live interested Kiwi to tell us what was happening. YOu can have that long white cloud just as long as it doesn't obscure the activity! Your information is food for the starving here. Mahalo Nui Loa!

Hi Marci and all
The more I hear from you the more I wonder if I am talking to an expat Kiwi or one with strong Kiwi connections. You astound me day in and day out with your impressive knowledge of the country Kiwis affectionately call God Zone. When you first told me you like listening to cricket on the radio I thought: WHAT! You mean to tell me Americans have heard of the big English/Australian/Kiwi/Sri Lankan/Indian/South African/Pakistani/Zimbabwean/West Indies (countries of the Caribbean play as one)/Scottish/Bangladeshi and Kenyan summer game. All the above play cricket and field international test and One Day International squads. So I ask how do you know so much??? I thought I should not mention Aotearoa because it may confuse some. The long white cloud is pretty extensive over the South Island at the moment, with snow in Southland, and Otago.
You impress greatly. Aside from me do you have friends down here??? If so where do they live??

Alas, the only friends I have on your lovely islands are the ones who talk to me on Radio New Zealand International... and YOU!!! Happy me on the latter! I can even name you some team members from all of the above Cricket teams, and I like to quiz my Oz friends on when they are going to let England win The Ashes. It tends to strain relationships a bit when I do that. Too bad the Windys (I used to talk with a guy who played for them) started changing their teams around and playing for other countries and vice versa. It gets very confusing! Almost as bad as Footie!
Quake rocks northern Pakistan, no damage reported
ISLAMABAD, May 22 (Reuters) - A moderate earthquake in northeastern
Afghanistan rocked parts of northern Pakistan on Tuesday, but there were no
immediate reports of damage, official media said.
The APP news agency quoted a meteorological station in the northwestern
town of Peshawar as saying the tremor registered 5.2 on the Richter scale,
powerful enough to cause heavy damage in a populated area, and was centred
300 km (187 miles) north of there in the Hindukush mountain ranges in
Afghanistan.
The tremor, at 2:14 p.m. (0914 GMT), was felt in Peshawar and the
northwestern district of Chitral bordering the northeastern Afghan
provinces of Kunar and Badakhshan, it said.

Hi
Have you ever been to New Zealand? If so when did you go? I was in Hilo in 1992
during the month of May. Such a lovely city, and the beach front is beautiful. With the exception of Seattle it is one city in America I would readily move to if I had to. I did not know why the beach front had roads and driveways leading to nowhere then but now that I do I think it is a great idea and serves as a potent reminder of the destructive power of a tsunami. The Chilean earthquake that generated the waves was by no one account a SMALL earthquake. By geologist and seismologists accounts it was huge and by accounts of everyone else, it made us realise how puny we really are. Does everyone agree that an Mw 9.5 lives up to the term MEGATHRUST quake??
Have you ever seen the haka done or heard of a powhiri (genuine Maori welcome). The former is an AGGRESSIVE war dance done by the All Black rugby team (and others)as either a mark of respect or to intimidate the opposition. The haka performed by the Armed Services schools and culture groups is done as a mark of respect and will vary. The haka done by the All Blacks is pure intimidation and meant to off put the opposition as much as possible. Different countries are starting to develop responses to it. The Australians sing "Waltzing Matilda" (Slim Dusty sang it at the Olympics)at full volume, and the English simply start singing. Usually it is "Rule Britannnia" (Every Pom knows the lines and if you go to the orchestral extravaganza "Last Night of the Proms", you are guaranteed it will be sung). BUT IN NEW ZEALAND........... there is dead silence. No one moves, no one makes a noise, and loud speakers ensure that the whole stadium hears the chant. Intimidating. Utterly intimidating.
Powhiri's are performed by culture groups at school and by the iwi welcoming people on to their Marae. It is not something I get to witness all that often which is a bit disappointing because the ceremonial aspect is very interesting.
Here is my New Zealand cricket dream team consisting of players currently active.
Nathan Astle - opening batsman
Matthew Sinclair - opening batsmen
Stephen Fleming - batsman/captain
Craig McMillan - batsman/bowler
Adam Parore - batsman/wicketkeeper
Chris Cairns - allrounder (batsman/bowler)
Chris Harris - allrounder (batsman/bowler)
Daniel Vettori - batsman/bowler
Dion Nash - batsman/bowler
Simon Doull - bowler
Darryl Tuffey - bowler
12th man: Roger Twose - batsman
note: allrounders can both bat and bowl reliably with even ability in both. All players can field

Oh Rob!!! I never miss the last night at the Proms. Sing "Land of Hope and Glory", "See The Conqu'ring Hero Comes" followed by "Rule Britannia" (I know most of the verses) and "God Save the Queen" (know them, too). H ave seen the rather intimidating Maori greeting complete with impressive displying of tongues. I do not recognize the other. It is difficult to see much except inmy heart and imagination on short wave radio (or now, over the internet). I adore test matches because it means I get 5 straight days of unadulterated Cricket!
It has taken a while but I do know what is a virgin, a duck, and a worm-burner. My grandfather had a googly ball with which I played as a small child. Not something you want hurled at your willow bat protecting the bales atop the stumps. No foreign stubstances allowed to create a sticky wicket, either. The bales seem precariously balanced. Bringing this back on topic, has an earthquake ever dislodged a bale?

Hi
Rule Britannia, Britannia rule the waves. Britons never never never shall be slaves. Rule Britannia, Britannia rule the waves. Britons never never never shall be slaves.
Great piece, sung with gusto it makes for a rousing little song.
Here's another one that you might want to know
God of nations at thy feet
In the bonds of love we meet
Hear our voices we entreat
God defend our free land.
Guard Pacific's triple star
From the shafts of strife and war
Make her praises heard afar
God defend New Zealand.
John Denver has written many lovely songs but the ones I like the most are the ones involving nature or having a nature theme to them. Notables include: Eagle and the Hawk, Eagles and Horses (I'm flying again), Amazon, Calypso, American Child, Rocky Mountain High, Cold Nights in Canada and many others.
I love nature at her glorious best. She is the supreme definition of life on the planet, giver and destroyer, and undeniably awe inspiring. Do you agree?

Rob, you're right about the glories of nature. The first time I visited son the geologist in California, he asked me what I wanted to see. I asked him to drive away from the people and closer to God. He took me to see the Giant Sequoia, Yosemite National Park and Mt Lassen. Not bad for a simple request. Long valley caldera was on my next trip as was Mt Shasta (it is NOT there. was totally socked in by thick cotton-wool clouds.) Oh he also showed me the Calistoga Geyser, my first one - and only one thus far.
I collect national anthems. Yours is lovely, indeed. Yeah, Iknow Rule Britannian is inane when you just sing the chorus. The verses aren't all that bad considering the times in which it was written. It bests singing "Ole" at soccer matches. I wish the Americans could sing ours straighforward as an anthem should be sung. It IS a hymn not a rock concert! I also wish we would sing the last verse:
Oh thus be it e'er when free men shall stand
Between their lov'd homes and war's desolation!
Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Pow'r that has made and presrv'd us a nation
And conquer we must when our cause is just
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the Star-Spangled Banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

Hi
I take it you have not seen Old Faithful? I have not seen it either but it is one I want to get to at some stage. Equally impressive would have to be the caldera of the Yellowstone volcano and the massive flows of ignimbrite (??).
I went Crater Lake in Oregon in the May of 1992 and found it to be utterly impressive. The sheer size of the eruption 6600 years BP means it is NOT an event I would want again in a rush. It is quite amazing to think the pumice plain around the volcano actually covers whole valleys. I cannot imagine what it must be like to have a Caldera volcano form - awe inspiring or terrifying? You pick.
I suppose the key to monitoring such volcanoes is seismographs to track the earthquakes and tiltmeters to record inflation and deformation of the ground. Any change hopefully will be picked up in time to act on.

I have not seen what is left of Mt Mazama (Crater Lake) but expect I will in a year or so when my son and his wife-to-be move to Oregon. Alas, Yellowstone has not been in my life, either. It is prominent on my wish list, however! They have opened a Yellowstone Volcano Observatory and it is suspected when that blows, it will cause earth winters of deadly proportions. Another planet??

Hi
Have you heard any of John Denvers music? I was just wondering what goes for you and people in your world? The Moody Blues, and Neil Finn are not too bad either (Neil Finn is a New Zealand musician. He and his brother Tim have been in the bands Split Enz, Crowded House, and now Neil is on a solo career that is making him one of New Zealands most wanted exports).
Notable hits from the Crowded House/Split Enz days are: Weather with you, I got you, Four seasons in one day, Six month in a leaky boat.
Another person worth noting is Dave Dobbyn. He sings rock and is probably our best known rocker. His hits are ones like: Whaling, Slice of Heaven, Outlook for Thursday, Guilty.
So, there you go. New Zealand music is real, alive and kicking. I have music connections as several friends were in bands at high school, and because Burnside High (my old high school), is world renown in New Zealand for turning out first class choirs, soloists, and barbershop groups. The latest sensation is only 14 but she has the voice of Charlotte Church (the English teenager, and the good looks to go with it). Hayley Westenra is a hot cookie with an album out, and has been on national television twice, and has a national tour in July.
She evidently will tell you she is just another student giving her best shot and hoping for some fun along the way. Hows that for modesty??

Sorry I forgot to mention John Denver. Yes! I love his music. It makes me feel good. Oddly enough, several years ago a friend and I drove to Denver across southern Utah (you would not believe the magnificent geology on that road. You must go sometime!). I expected to hear John Denver everywhere in Colorado. I could hear him in my mind everywhere we went, but not one single time did we hear his music. We should have brought a CD of it along! As it was I played all the classical music the lady had in her car and just about wore out her Bizet Symphony in C and a lot of tremendous Baroque organ and brass music. Wheeeee it was glorious!!!
Charlotte Church is indeed the voice of an angel. I have a few of her cletic things and her version of Jerusalem. What a glorious voice! I will check out the rest of your hot cookie list =)

Geologists Find Evidence of Major Quake in What Is Now Portland
By William McCall
Associated Press Writer
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - Geologists said Tuesday they've discovered
evidence that a major earthquake hit what is now downtown Portland about
12,000 years ago along a fault now considered an active threat.
Geologists have long known about the so-called Portland Hills fault
that runs beneath the city, but did not know how big a risk it posed.
John Beaulieu, the chief state geologist, said at a Tuesday news
conference "there's nothing here that should cause undue alarm." Still, he
said, "It's a risk we simply can't afford to ignore."

Thank you Sandi for the following posted in world_seismicity@yahoogroups.com
John Tsatsaragos is a splendid man with the soul of a poet and the relentless approach of the scientist. It is my privilege to know him from half way around the world. Oddly enough we share the same ocean and moon and stars. It is a great comfort to think of it that way! Check this most interesting website.
Though Dr. C. Thanassoulas and John Tsatsaragos, in Greece, have
only one station testing an application of a theory which will
eventually use triangulation of vectors of piezoelectric seismic
electric signals, and quakes of M 6.0+ are really needed, this
quake may somewhat useful to them.
This approach to short-term earthquake prediction appears very
promising, targeting the focus, rather than indicating only the
general region of the imminent event, if given sufficient funding.
The VLP waves in the low frequency range do appear more promising
than the electric field intensity measurements in the high frequency
range. The magnetic field measurements in the ULF band prior to the
17 Oct 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, Ms 7.1, showed distinct anomalous
patterns.
The problem of the assumption of homogeneous ground may be overcome
if enough stations are available to indicate errant electrical field
intensity vectors.
The problem with small magnitude EQs is that even if these signals
exist, they may be hidden in the ambient electrical noise of the
region. They need sizable quakes to produce large signals. With
only one station, lack of instrumentation and data, they have an
uphill battle. The other problem is the lack of M 6.0+ quakes in
Greece, though they do have Italy, and especially Turkey, in the
region.

The Earth Moves For The West Country
'Scared' Residents in Devon and Cornwall were woken in their beds by the shock which measured 3.6 on the Richter scale. Police received more than 40 calls from worried members of the public. Tanya Horrocks, who is seven-and-a-half months pregnant and lives near Liskeard, Cornwall, said: "I was scared because it was so intense and not something we have experienced before." Her partner Jason Willoughby said: "We thought it was a lorry going down the road at first but then the house started to shake and it passed over the top. We thought it was an aircraft or something of that nature, but there was nothing."
The epicentre of the quake was in the Bristol Channel, 25 miles west of Bude on the Cornish coast. Major disasters are usually caused by shocks measuring about seven or higher on the scale. A five is regarded as a moderate quake. There were no injuries in the tremors and only a handful of reports of minor damage caused.

Maggie, I got to the vocano the usual way - was offered dinner in town and I suggested Subway sandwiches at the lava flows. When if as soon as the big guys at Spring get my FTP fixed you will see pictures. The lava was too far away to see very well... alas... without binoculars but I did get some lovely sunset and one pre-dark flow image I would like to post.
I had just posted that there was an earthquake in Greece and you said, "I was just there!" or something to that effect... There was an EQ under the Bristol Channel. Not in Cornwall. You know.... check the maps the OS puts out ;)

Hi all
I hate to say this but I am not really calibrated to feel earthquakes or for some reason do not sense things like that well unless it was sudden loud or powerful. In 1994 an earthquake not more than 100 km NW from Christchurch as the crow flies measuring 6.7 on the richter scale shook Arthurs Pass and was felt strongly in Christchurch where it broke chimneys and dislodged loose ornaments. I never felt a thing much less knew an earthquake had hit until Craig (my 18 year old brother)rang from a friend's place to see if all was okay here!!

Odd thing about earthquakes. I know many who are seemingly immune to them, and I tend to sense them even when they are almost subliminal. Especially if I have recently experienced one strong enough to worry me. For that reason I have a little "ornamental seismometer" in the living room. I dash in to see if it is wiggling. Actually, it is small spheres on spring-steel wires attached to a central base and springing outward like a fountain. The slightest movement of its substrate will make one or more of them undulate. It is sitting on a very heavy piece of furniture so it takes an earthquake to move it. More than once I thought I felt one and ran in to fine just one or two gently moving in the direction of the quake's movement. It really works quite well. I can also usually gauge the magnitude pretty closely. I just thought it was from al these years of experiencing them. There must be more to it. I have no precognition, however!
6.7 is pretty good jolt - I know!!! Does it disappoint you that you are not seismically tuned? I rather hate to have slept through one. It is an amazing feeling!

Hi
Marcia, are you online simultaneously with me??? Pity I don't ICQ or something similar because it would absolutely awesome to message you live. My brother often uses ICQ to talk to people overseas and I think I will have to see about getting it myself because I was delighted to note your reply just now. And my friend, the only one people who sound like they are pond scum are people who abuse others, crims, rapists, murderers, disgusting scumbags who should be in G.W. Bushs, home state of Texas awaiting death row or spending the rest of their lives locked away. So long as you don't have a psychopath on the loose in Hawaii I rest easy because not knowing how some people I like a lot are fearing mean I often send them e-mail especially if they have signalled they are having trouble with something.
I have great patience, sometimes too much. I am very patient about these things because I have similar alarms most months of the year. Like when I was woken up at 3AM in the morning a couple years ago, by a loud thunder clap that I mistook for an earthquake. I scrambled out of bed and underneath the doorway. Then I realised it was just that the lightning was directly overhead and I slinked back to bed. Another time was when I had a dream and thought that it was for real.
Have you heard John Denvers "Annie's Song"? THAT is almost as graceful as Amazing Grace and a great song for lovers, if you ever get back on that track.
How is Madame Pele today?

Rob, boot your Yahoo messenger! I can IM you from there and have added you to my list of contacts. I am Kilauea83 there, and left you an offline message just in case you checked in. I stayed up until you emailed me. I could not sleep before you did so! We were online simultaneously! Different days, but at the same moment in time. Amazing, isn't it!
Annie's Song is so lovely, I have chills thinking about how beautiful it is and how it makes my heart soar. Mme Pele is still doing that same flow and has quiet background quakes generated by the movement of magma. She is Purring, in other words!
Hugs to you, too! Especially in those nighttimes when things get larger than life and you react as best your instincts tell you. Been there and done exactly the same thing from a simultaneous thunder and lighning hit. I guess with all the disaster preparedness and NZ's underfunded civil defense that you ranted about elsewhere, I was bracing for the worst. Thanks for being so understanding. You are indeed, very special!

The Institute of Geological & Nuclear Sciences records
about 14,000 earthquakes in and around New Zealand
each year. Most are small, but between 100 and 150 are
big enough to be felt. The Institute records these
earthquakes on a nationwide network of instruments called
seismographs.
New Zealand's position on the boundary of the Australian
and Pacific plates is the reason for the large number of
earthquakes we witness. Underneath New Zealand these
two huge plates are grinding together in three distinct
ways.
To the east of the North Island the Pacific plate is being
forced under the Australian plate. Under the South Island
the two plates push past each other sideways, and to the
south of New Zealand the Australian plate is being forced
under the Pacific plate.

From Rob in worldSeismology at www.yahoo.com
The price we pay for having one of God's most beautiful creations as our nation some would like to think is not too high, but I have only just started sharing with you all that I know about the hazards of living in New Zealand.
New Zealanders think that the Edgecumbe earthquake in 1987 was BAD. I suppose it was if you were living there as the damage billed topped $25 million within a few days and may be as high as $52 million. 3 people were killed and 4 injured but the Mw 6.2 earthquake there was
NOT THE BIG ONE. It was at the upper end of the scale for the Bay of Plenty but not the country as a whole. Faultlines in the central North Island will probably produce up to a magnitude 7. I have a big problem with ANY earthquake less than 20 km down underneath
Lake Taupo and with a magnitude over M4.5. Why? Caldera volcanoes are dangerous things. While there is no guarantee that Taupo will awaken, unsettling the population of 16,000 in Taupo and the 200,000 people within 100km of the volcano is not a good idea. And there have been earthquake scares before.
Rob

The Physics of Earthquakes
Hiroo Kanamori and Emily E. Brodsky
Seismologists have never directly observed rupture in Earth's interior. Instead, they glean
information from seismic waves, geodetic measurements, and numerical experiments.
The recent earthquakes in Taiwan, Turkey, and India tragically demonstrate the
abruptness with which earthquakes occur and the devastation that often accompanies
them. Scientists, emergency officials, and the public are greatly interested in
earthquakes--sudden fractures in Earth's crust followed by ground shaking--and have
many questions about them. For example, When do earthquakes occur? More precisely,
what long-term processes and short-term triggers produce earthquakes? Although plate
tectonics has provided a successful framework for understanding the long-term
processes, the short-term triggers remain obscure, making earthquakes unpredictable. An
equally important question and a fundamental challenge to the science of geophysics is,
What happens during an earthquake? That is, What are the forces and motions during a
seismic event? The answer to this question has practical consequences for mitigating the
effects of the expected ground motion.
One of the most challenging aspects of studying earthquakes is obtaining observational
constraints. Most earthquakes occur at depths down to 50 km, but some as deep as 670
km have been observed in certain regions. Seismologists have never directly observed
ruptures occurring in Earth's interior. Instead, they rely on the information gleaned from
the few available types of data, the most important of which is the record of seismic
waves. During an earthquake, sudden crustal motion excites elastic waves that travel
through Earth and are observable at seismic stations on the surface. These waves carry
information about the movements at the earthquake's source, but the complex structure of
Earth between the source and the receiver often complicates extracting the information
from the signal. Despite this difficulty, researchers have learned much from seismic
records and can determine the detailed rupture history of many recent seismic events.

Hi
It would appear I have just heard the FIRST confirmed reporting of a Mw 8.0+ because Sandi said unless a confirmed report comes in from Peru or anywhere where the seismograph got an accurate fix on the earthquake, that has raised the estimate, then Mw 8.1 stands as the final estimate.
Mw 8.1 - I wonder with some apprehension which country is going the next unfortunate victim of such a huge event. For obvious reasons I am watching the Alpine Fault and Wairarapa Faults warily and imagine that the longer the earthquakes which do all the damage are overseas, then the more complacent we Kiwis are going to get. I am NOT AT ALL COMPLACENT, as this and the big one in India a few months ago, have served as powerful wake up calls.
It is with some wariness, that I go to bed tonight because it is certainly not everyDAY such events occur and CERTAINLY NOT something you want to be an every DAY occurrence.

I really think the aftershocks are worse than the quake.
When the quake comes it doesn't register for a few seconds and then you are in slow mo for a short time. By that time it is about over.
The aftershocks are so frightening because you think it's coming again.

Hi
Thats true unless the main shock hits first and you wonder, " What the heck was that??!!"
Then it sinks in, by which time it could be too late. I think aftershocks are definitely bad, especially if they come in the dead of the night like an aftershock from the 1994 (Mw 6.7)earthquake in Arthurs Pass, New Zealand did. It hit about 0145 in the morning (I got woken up by this bizarre sensation)and thought "what's that??". Then I realised it was an earthquake. I got out of bed and scrambled to the door. I think Dad bellowed something from his bedroom as I watched my room sway. Then silence. We slunk back to bed wondering how many more were to come. And with good reason - that quake had a magnitude of M5.8. And that was not all. The following day I was in a science lesson and the room started shaking. We all dived underneath our desks and waited for it to pass. It cannot have been to bad, because no one set of the alarm afterwards to signal an evacuation, despite it being M 5.6.
But the most definitive case of earthquake detection was this year. An M 3.8 earthquake a mere 20km from Christchurch at less than 12km down on April 8 about 10.10pm, sent a very loud clatter of soot down the chimney and jolted the house quite hard. Mum Craig and I had no time to do anything - all over in 3 seconds.

Chimneys and steeples seem to be favorite things. You are fortunate indeed that yours remained intact after those Arthur's Pass quakes. Our quakes are genterally deeper than 12km and considerably often more distand. They also tend to affect particular strata of lava, so if you live on that one, you will feel it. If not, you may not. As I have said, 4.0 is the threshold here for most of the people I know. Perhaps this is also a case of sensitivity. Ihave also felt funny substrate anomalies and gone to check the "seismo-balls" to see if any of them are moving. Often they are not and it was simply a heavy vehicle rumbling in the distance which my device does not pick up.

Rob.
I know what yoy mean. I was there when the bigh one hit in Alaska but I can't remember the year.
When it started I didn't pay much attention because there you are always having tremors and the clothes and chandeliers sway all the time, and the dishes in the cupboard rattle.
I really didn't think there was much to worry about until a pickup went by with no driver and I looked out the window and saw the men from the airport control tower running down the street and the tower swaying.

*Hugs* Lucie. That is why certain aftershocks are so worrying. When our major ones start it is shaking or jolting or rolling then eases off... Then, instead of quitting, it reaally gets going shaking the entire world like we were all toys in a toy box. When is finally slows to a halt dare you check to see what is intact and what is not.

Hi
We used to have this really good insurance ad featuring an earthquake on television, but someone took it of air and I think it is time to put it back on. A guy walking through a house says, "New Zealand frequently gets hit by earthquakes. Most of them do not do any harm, but occasionally a big one hits". The video camera (in a kitchen)shows a house start to shake, fruit bowls come of the table and bench, some plates smash and the microwave loosens or something similar. A lull sets in for a second, then....... BANG!!!! The main shock hits with appalling violence, windows shatter, tins and jars of stuff fall out in the kitchen, appliances fall over or are thrown to the ground, the walls crack and cave in followed by bits of ceiling. All manner of ornaments hit the floor and break. Finally as the dust settles on nature greatest freak, a big clock fall down the stair well. Very disturbing but VERY VERY REAL. BRILLIANT.

Do you remember who did these Public Service Announcements (we call them PSAs)? If so, write them expressing your concern about complacency. YOu might just make a very powerful ally. I could feel that earthwuake happen just as you described it. It is all you can do is hang on and not fall down even outside on "Solid Ground." It is NOT all that solid and very distressing! People NEED to be distressed to get them motivated to save their own lives. They keep thinking that either it will not happen to them, or if it does, "The Governement" will come riding to their rescue. Time for a wake-up call! Especially with the Peru quake still fresh in our minds!
My heart just about stopped when you wrote "then..... BANG!!!!" You never forget that feeing!

Hi
I found that earthquake preparedness advert on a video - it's even more severe than I made it to be and even more frightening. It starts out like I said it did with a shot of stuff breaking in the kitchen and a few things falling over, but then all hell breaks loose. A shot in the hallway shows every window explode simultaneously, appliances fall over or are slammed to the ground, the fire place breaks up as the roof comes to bits under the shaking, stuff falls over above the computer table and furniture slides across the floor, then a big clock or chest of draws breaks into it's constituent pieces as it tumbles done the stairway. I watched it three times thought "I am glad I don't own that house and that it was not for real because that was nightmare material.

I have the pictures my relatives took of their Northridge home after that quake - relatively mild compared with a truly great quake. Everything had marched into the middle of her kitchen and the refrigerator had open and dumped the contents all over the floor, then fallen over. Her china cabinet had done the same. Also in the kitchen all of th drawers had slid open and the cabinets above had dashed the glassware into them into the most lethal sherds you can imagine. Utility pipes ruptured out of the ground and broke leaving leaking gas (better know how and where to turn it off swiftly!) and no water. They mnaged to oatch a pipe to the city utility out front which was miraculously intact and their bathroom became the neighborhood rest stop. There IS no way to drive home how violent an earthquake can be. We look at third-world countries and think it is substandard living conditions making it look that bad. Not so. This was an affluent area and it was reduced to rubble just like the poor in those adobe
houses! Rob, do what you can to get that video back on the air. This is not a comsetic or insurance problem we worry about, it is life or death!!!
Thanks, Rob, and stay safe.. my warmest Hugs for your protection.

Hi
I thought only Italy and the Balkans got rocked by earthquakes frequently and that for the most part everywhere else is fairly quiet - obviously not.
Can anyone tell me what the story with those quakes is (where is the nearest plate boundary, which way does it run and whether the crust is continental-continental or continental-oceanic)? I do not know much about European plate tectonics or even where the boundaries for that part of the world are - no excuse I know but the Pacific and like places is where all the attention gets focussed and it is time more attention was paid to volcanic and earthquake zones elsewhere.

I am off to fetch your answer. Something is still pushing up the Alps. They are not volcanic, so that aspect is most likely out of the question. With that said, I am off to hunt up the source of these quakes, then we will all know!

A few theories:
The fourth type of seismic zone occurs along the boundaries of continental plates. Typical of this is the broad swath of seismicity from Burma to the Mediterranean, crossing the Himalayas, Iran, Turkey, to Gilbraltar. Within this zone, shallow earthquakes are associated with high mountain ranges where intense compression is taking place. Intermediate- and deep-focus earthquakes also occur and are known in the Himalayas and in the Caucasus. The interiors of continental plates are very complex, much more so than island arcs. For instance, we do not yet know the full relationship of the Alps or the East African rift system to the broad picture of plate tectonics.
http://wwwneic.cr.usgs.gov/neis/plate_tectonics/rift_man.html
Every year earthquakes are responsible for a large number of deaths and vast amounts of destruction in various parts of the world. Most of these damaging earthquakes occur either in a narrow belt which surrounds the Pacific Ocean
or in a line which extends from Burma to the Alps in Europe. The actual cause of the quake itself is the rupturing or breaking of rocks at or below the earth's surface. This is produced by pressure which scientists believe may be due to a number of reasons, two of which are the expansion and contraction of the earth's crust and continental drift.

ALL EARTHQUAKE FAULT LINES NOT EQUAL
Temperature Tied To Movement
While most scientists assume that both sides of a geologic fault move equal distances during an earthquake, National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded researchers at Pennsylvania State University and the University of Miami have discovered that not all strike slip faults act that way.
"In the past, no one looked at the contrast between the two sides of a strike slip fault," says geologist Kevin Furlong at Penn State. "These faults have always been modeled as if both sides were equal by definition." Furlong, doctoral student Rocco Malservisi, and geologist Timothy Dixon of the University of Miami investigated the Eastern California Shear Zone, a strike-slip fault system running parallel to the San Andreas fault about 240 kilometers [150 miles] east of San Francisco. This area, on the Nevada/California border, is the eastern edge of the interface of the Pacific and North American plate boundaries and is linked to the San Andreas fault.
"By considering variations in mechanical properties of the crust, these scientists have put a new twist on how we look at ground motion associated with large earthquakes along strike-slip faults," says David Fountain, program director in NSF's division of earth sciences, which supported the research. "The results suggest that ground motion could be much larger on one side of a fault than the other. These differences in motion persist long after an earthquake occurs and, using modern instrumentation, such as GPS and satellite interferometry, should be detectable for decades."
In a strike-slip fault, the ground on each side of the fault moves along the fault line, but in opposite directions. The western side of this fault (consisting of the Sierra Nevada Mountains) and the eastern side of the fault (known as the Basin and Range) have very different heat flow properties. Researchers believe this difference causes the contrast between the two sides.
"The Sierra Nevada to Basin and Range is an abrupt transition, thermally and mechanically," says Furlong. The heat flow on the Sierra Nevada side is much lower than on the Basin and Range side, making the Sierra Nevada side colder as well. These temperature differences can be dramatic.
Malservisi, Furlong, and Dixon report on their on-site study of this fault in the July 15 issue of the journal Geophysical Research Letters, published by the American Geophysical Union. Using permanent location markers and Geographic Positioning System (GPS) equipment, they were able to record the difference in movement on each side to about one millimeter [0.04 inches].
"Before the accuracy of GPS became so good, it was impossible to do this kind of research," says Furlong. "We could not have seen the difference before."

With the recent Peruvian earthquake now is a good time to invite people
into the club who you know live on or near active fault systems or
plate boundaries. I will sweep the New Zealand and the South Pacific.
Although the worst concentrations of earthquake activity are in the Pacific
basin area, if you know Europeans or anyone outside that area by all
means extend an invitation to them - it may be a long term favour. http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/worldseismicity

GVP/USGS Weekly Volcanic Activity Report
27 June-3 July 2001
http://www.volcano.si.edu/gvp/usgs/
New Activity/Unrest: | Manam, Papua New Guinea | Mayon, Philippines |
Shiveluch, Russia |
Ongoing Activity: | Etna, Italy | Kilauea, USA | Piton de la Fournaise,
Réunion Island | Popocatépetl, México | Tungurahua, Ecuador |
New Activity
MANAM offshore New Guinea, Papua New Guinea 4.10°S, 145.06°E; summit elev.
1,807 m
The Rabaul Volcano Observatory reported that there have been no recent lava
flows from Manam, contrary to pilot reports of multiple lava flows on 25
June. There were signs of recent volcanic activity on 14 June, when
emissions produced fine ash, and on 21 June, when roaring/rumbling noises
emanated from the volcano. Small light gray ash emissions had been
occasionally observed on other occasions.
Background. The 10-km-wide island of Manam is of one of Papua New Guinea's
most active volcanoes. Four large radial valleys extend from the
unvegetated summit of the conical 1,807-m-high stratovolcano to its lower
flanks. These "avalanche valleys," regularly spaced 90 degrees apart,
channel lava flows and pyroclastic avalanches that have sometimes reached
the coast. Five satellitic centers are located near the island's shoreline.
Two summit craters are present; both are active, although most historical
eruptions have originated from the southern crater, concentrating eruptive
products during the past century into the SE avalanche valley. Frequent
historical eruptions have been recorded since 1616.

MAYON southeastern Luzon, Philippines 13.257°N, 123.685°E; summit elev.
2,462 m; All times are local (= UTC + 8 hours)
After the large eruption on 24 June volcanic activity returned to
relatively low levels for several days. During this period, rockfalls
dominated the seismic records as lava slowly flowed to the SE down the
Bonga Gully. PHIVOLCS reported that due to diminished lava extrusion lava
was not expected to reach populated areas. Volcanic activity increased on
29 June when explosions occurred at 1605 and 1702. These explosions
generated pyroclastic flows that traveled down the Bonga Gully and
generated billowing ash clouds that ascended to ~4 km above the volcano.
The pyroclastic flows reached ~3 km to the SE of the summit towards the
general direction of Matanag Gully. During the eruption a portion of the
Upper Basud Gully in the volcano’s eastern sector collapsed. On 1 July, SO2
emission rates were as high as 8,700 metric tons per day, a value about
5-fold higher than on 29 June. By 2 June the rate of SO2 emission greatly
decreased to 840 tons per day. PHIVOLCS stated that due to the ongoing
significant inflation of the volcanic cone and anomalous rapid decline of
SO2 emission rates a high likelihood of continued explosive eruptions in
the coming days remains. Accordingly, the hazard status remained in the top
category, Alert Level 5 (hazardous eruption in progress).
Background. The beautifully symmetrical Mayon volcano, which rises to 2,462
m above the Albay Gulf, is the Philippines' most active volcano. The
structurally simple volcano has steep upper slopes that average 35-40° and
is capped by a small summit crater. The historical eruptions of this
basaltic-andesitic volcano date back to 1616 and range from Strombolian to
basaltic Plinian. Eruptions occur predominately from the central conduit
and have also produced lava flows that travel far down the flanks.
Pyroclastic flows and mudflows have commonly swept down many of the
approximately 40 ravines that radiate from the summit and have often
devastated populated lowland areas. Mayon’s most violent eruption, in 1814,
killed more than 1,200 people and devastated several towns. Eruptions that
began in February 2000 led PHIVOLCS to recommend on 23 February the
evacuation of people within a radius of 7 km from the summit in the SE and
within a 6 km radius for the rest of the volcano.

SHIVELUCH Kamchatka Peninsula, Russia 56.653°N, 161.360°E; summit elev.
3,283 m; All times are local (= UTC + 12 hours [or 13 hours in March-June])
Increases in both seismic activity and explosions at Shiveluch led KVERT to
raise the Concern Color Code
on 2 July from
Yellow to Orange. On 26 June, prior to an increase in seismic activity, a
possible thermal anomaly was observed on satellite imagery. The volcanic
activity increase may have begun on 28 June at 1500 when the level of
volcanic tremor and the number of shallow earthquakes increased. According
to reports from observers in the town of Klyuchi (46 km from the volcano)
on 29 June at 1150 a short-lived explosion sent an ash-and-gas plume to a
height of ~4.5 m a.s.l. During the eruption pyroclastic flows traveled 2.5
to 3 km down the slopes of the volcano. Later in the day and during the
next day seismic data suggested that six possible gas-and-ash explosions
occurred that produced ash to a maximum height of 8.5 km a.s.l. According
to the Tokyo VAAC the largest 30 June explosion began at 0300 and produced
an ash plume that ascended to 7.3 km a.s.l. Later during 30 June and 1
July, GOES and other satellite’s imagery showed a possible ash cloud
drifting over the Bering Sea that may have originated in Kamchatka.
According to visual observations from the town of Klyuchi, on 1 July
explosions produced ash plumes that rose to 1.5 km above the dome, and at
1250 a short-lived explosion produced an ash-and-gas plume that rose to ~8
km a.s.l and drifted to the E. Pyroclastic flows extended 5 km down the
Baidarnaya River.
Background. The high, isolated massif of Shiveluch volcano (also spelled
Sheveluch) rises above the lowlands NNE of the Kliuchevskaya volcano group
and forms one of Kamchatka's largest and most active volcanoes. The
currently active Molodoy Shiveluch lava-dome complex was constructed during
the Holocene within a large horseshoe-shaped caldera formed by collapse of
the massive late-Pleistocene Strary Shiveluch volcano. At least 60 large
eruptions of Shiveluch have occurred during the Holocene, making it the
most vigorous andesitic volcano of the Kuril-Kamchatka arc. Frequent
collapses of lava-dome complexes, most recently in 1964, have produced
large debris avalanches whose deposits cover much of the floor of the
breached caldera. During the 1990s, intermittent explosive eruptions took
place from a new lava dome that began growing in 1980. The largest
historical eruptions from Shiveluch occurred in 1854 and 1964.

Ongoing Activity
ETNA Sicily, Italy 37.73°N, 15.00°E; summit elev. 3,315 m; All times are
local (= UTC + 2 hours)
An eruptive episode began on the evening of 27 June at the NNE vent on
Southeast Crater. The episode began with lava flowing from the NNE vent and
was followed by Strombolian activity at the NNE vent and the summit.
Volcanic material was ejected to a maximum height of 400 m. No sustained
lava fountains developed. The Toulouse VAAC reported that Sistema
Poseidon's Etna webcam recorded renewed volcanic activity on 28 June at
0030 and associated steam and ash that did not rise far above the summit.
The eleventh eruptive episode in one month began on 30 June. Inclement
weather inhibited visual observations, but during a break in cloud cover
around 0400 mild Strombolian activity was observed. Seismic data revealed
that the episode ended around 1600. On 3 July increased degassing was
observed at Northeast Crater.
Background. Mount Etna, towering above Catania, Sicily's second largest
city, has one of the world's longest documented records of historical
volcanism, dating back to 1500 BC. Historical lava flows cover much of the
surface of this massive basaltic stratovolcano, the highest and most
voluminous in Italy. Two styles of eruptive activity typically occur at
Etna. Persistent explosive eruptions, sometimes with minor lava emissions,
take place from one or more of the three prominent summit craters: Central
Crater, Northeast Crater, and Southeast Crater. Flank eruptions, typically
with higher effusion rates, occur less frequently and originate from
fissures that open progressively downward from near the summit. A period
of more intense intermittent explosive eruptions from Etna’s summit craters
began in 1995.

KILAUEA Hawaii, USA 19.43°N, 155.29°W; summit elev. 1,222 m
Small surface flows of pahoehoe lava were visible on the coastal flat below
Pulama pali, clustered near the E edge of the flow field and to the W. Lava
poured into the sea at two main sites along the eastern third of the E
Kupapa`u bench. On 26 June from about noon until the evening, less than 1
microradian of deflation occurred at the summit, and about 0.5 microradian
of deflation occurred at Pu`u `O`o. Generally, weak, steady tremor and
related long-period earthquakes continued beneath Kilauea's caldera.
Earthquake activity remained slightly above average at the summit. Tremor
remained weak to moderate near Pu`u `O`o and seismicity was at normal
levels elsewhere. Tiltmeters in the summit area and along the east rift
zone indicated no significant deformation.
Background. Kilauea, one of five coalescing volcanoes that comprise the
island of Hawaii, is one of the world’s most active volcanoes. Historically
its eruptions originate primarily from the summit caldera or along one of
the lengthy E and SW rift zones that extend from the caldera to the sea.
The latest Kilauea eruption began in January 1983 along the E rift zone.
The Pu`u `O`o-Kupaianaha eruption is now in its 18th year and 55th eruptive
episode. Since 1986, flows have traveled 11-12 km from the vents to the
sea, paving about 80 km2 of land on the S flank of Kilauea and building 205
hectares of new land. Intensive monitoring and field research by staff of
the US Geological Survey’s Hawaiian Volcano Observatory, established in
1912, make Kilauea one of Earth's best studied volcanoes.

PITON DE LA FOURNAISE Réunion Island, Indian Ocean 21.23°S, 55.71°E; summit
elev. 2,631 m
Since 22 June constant tremor occurred that was associated with the
eruption that began on 11 June. On 1 July an increase in tremor that
occurred for about one hour was accompanied by strong degassing at a cone
and a large amount lava emission. On 29 June new lava flows were observed
in the Grand Brûlé area travelling to the N. By 2 July several dozen small
flows were visible.
Background. The massive Piton de la Fournaise shield volcano on the island
of Réunion is one of the world's most active volcanoes. Most historical
eruptions have originated from the summit and flanks of Dolomieu, a
400-m-high lava shield that has grown within the youngest of three large
calderas. This latter caldera is 8 km wide and is breached to below sea
level on the eastern side. More than 150 eruptions, most of which have
produced fluid basaltic lava flows within the caldera, have been documented
since the 17th century.

POPOCATÉPETL México 19.02°N, 98.62°W; summit elev. 5,426 m; All times are
local (= UTC 5 hours)
Volcanic activity at Popocatépetl remained at normal levels, with several
small exhalations of steam, gas, and small amounts of ash. Based on
information from the Mexico City MWO, the Washington VAAC stated that on 1
July at 0915 a small eruption produced an ash plume that rose to less than
1 km above the volcano and drifted to the SSW. On 3 July at 0425 a
moderate-sized exhalation produced an ash cloud seen on satellite imagery
to spread in two directions; to less than 1 km above the volcano drifting
to the NW, and ~4 km above the volcano drifting to the SE.
Background. Popocatépetl, whose name is the Aztec word for smoking
mountain, towers to 5,426 m 70 km SE of México City and is North America's
second highest volcano. Frequent historical eruptions have been recorded
since the beginning of the Spanish colonial era. A small eruption on 21
December 1994 ended five decades of quiescence. Since 1996 small lava domes
have incrementally been constructed within the summit crater and destroyed
by explosive eruptions. Intermittent small-to-moderate gas-and-ash
eruptions have continued, occasionally producing ashfall in neighboring
towns and villages.

TUNGURAHUA Ecuador 1.47°S, 78.44°W; summit elev. 5,023 m; All times are
local (= UTC 5 hours)
According to reports from IG, about one small explosion per day has
occurred at Tungurahua since the explosion on 17 June produced an ash cloud
that rose to 7 km above the summit. The explosions have usually occurred
with no warning, and light ash fall has frequently fallen to the W of the
volcano, often damaging crops. The Washington VAAC reported that during the
week the IG stated that seismic activity on 28 June at 1824 suggested that
an eruption may have produced an ash cloud that rose to 7 km a.s.l. The ash
cloud was not visible in satellite imagery. On 3 July at 0715 the
Washington VAAC issued a report that a pilot observed W-drifting ash over
the volcano between 5.8 and 7.6 km a.s.l.
Background. The steep-sided Tungurahua stratovolcano towers more than 3 km
above its northern base. It sits ~140 km S of Quito, Ecuador’s capital
city, and is one of Ecuador's most active volcanoes. Historical eruptions
have been restricted to the summit crater. They have been accompanied by
strong explosions and sometimes by pyroclastic flows and lava flows that
reached populated areas at the volcano's base. The last major eruption took
place from 1916 to 1918, although minor activity continued until 1925. The
latest eruption began in October 1999 and prompted an initial evacuation of
the town of Baños on the N side of the volcano.

with the pre-earthquake electric signals that I record
in Greece. One simple click on Marcia’s E-mail link,
led me to her E-mail box and here. She knows already
very good the result of my work.

you make the beginning. Please, teach me in order to

John, my hands are extended to take yours into mine. Both here and on Yahoo, you will never be without advocate and support. Perhaps I will evoke both Athena and Madame Pele for your protection, since egos are more than a little evident in Yahoo. Here in Geo, we nurture and question gently to entice more thoughts and wisdom from the High Priest of the Seismographs at his Oracle at Volos. You are welcome in all ways and for always. With Aloha *Hugs* and a lei of plumeria blossoms, I greet you adding the traditional gentle kiss of greeting. John, I'd like to introduce you to Terry, the owner of this entire set of conferences. He created the vitrual community and we sort of moved in and made ourselves comfortable. He is a most genial host and we all love him!
Terry, it is so good to hear from you. Just can't stay away, can you, even on vacation!

Thank you again Marcia and to you Wolfie.
I think is the time now to tell you about me.
John Tsatsaragos, lives today, close to Volos
(East Central Greece).
He has a degree in Electronics and works as in the
production department of a large cement factory for
over twenty-six years.
He has also worked as electronics engineer for the
national radio-television.
His interests and job experience include all sound
systems, building complex electronic devices,
transmitting and receiving radio signals, measuring
all physical amounts including measures in the
electromagnetic field, automation systems, computer
systems, and basic computer programming.
He loves Physics and Astronomy and is also a member
of the amateur Astronomy group in Volos.
Since 1981, he makes a research on electrical
pre-earthquake signals.
His latest news: Scientific EQ prediction IS POSSIBLE.
Also, he is a collected everyday man. So, he does not bite!
From now... it can be named... H(igh) P(riest) of the
S(eismic) O(racle)! or HPSO. Under your orders Marcia!
John

Oh John, how could I not dash to my computer upon rising in the morning to see what you have posted?! Thank you and so much more for joining us. I look forward to your prognostications and anomolies. There was nothing quite as disquieting as being in on the fact that a very strong earthquake was about to happen then watch the destruction in Peru. (He was actually writing to me when his instruments did more than their casual seismic dances. I have the proof he sent to me!)
In any case, we absolutely needed a HPSO for Geo and there was none on whose sholders the mantle of authority could have rested with more ease than yours. I will be your assistant and acolyte and will learn from you. *lighting fragrant incense* Aloha John! Welcome again, with many hugs of appreciation.

New Network Helps Study Earthquakes
Earthquake scientists just unveiled the Southern
California Integrated GPS Network, a new type of
ground motion monitoring network. Unlike other
instrument networks that record shaking, this
network tracks the slow motion of the Earth's
plates by using the Global Positioning System
(GPS) -- a constellation of satellites used to
determine precise locations on the ground.

The recent earthquake swarm near Coso Junction began last week and
has so far culminated with a M4.9 event, 17 July 2001. Focal
mechanisms of most of these earthquakes show right-lateral motion,
striking N5 to N20W (DEG), with a small normal component. This swarm
is located along the southern edge of a similar swarm that occurred
in the first half of 1992 and lasted (off and on) for several months.
These events are not volcanic in nature, because they have normal
frequency content as expected for crustal tectonic earthquakes.
Earthquake swarms are common in the Coso Range and the erea to the
south, extending into Indian Wells Valley, because of the extensional
tectonics and presence of a magma chamber beneath the Coso Geothermal
field. The extension in the Coso Range and to the south is driven by
a releasing stepover between the right-lateral Airport Lake and Owens
Valley faults along the east side of the Sierra Nevada. The footwall
of this system, the Coso Range, is attached to the Sierra Nevada, and
is effectively being pulled to the northwest from beneath Wildhorse
Mesa, which is moving as part of the Walker Lane belt. The brittle
upper crustal extension may be accommodated at depth by ductile
stretching and emplacement of igneous bodies, the presence of which
have been inferred in the middle to upper crust from analysis of
seismic waves. Late Cenozoic intrusions are interpreted to be the
source of heat for the Coso geothermal field.
North of the Coso Range, the major active fault along the eastern
margin of the Sierra Nevada is the Owens Valley fault that was the
source of the M7.6 1872 Owens Valley earthquake. Surface rupture
associated with the 1872 earthquake extended as far south as the
western margin of Owens Lake, within 10 km of the Coso Range.
Coseismic surface displacement during the 1872 event was
predominantly dextral. Currently, theOwens Valley fault slips about 6
mm/yr, which is comparable to the 5 mm/yr rate estimated for the
Airport Lake fault south of the Coso Range. These relations thus
suggest that earthquake swarms on Quaternary faults in the Coso Range
transfer dextral slip along the eastern margin of the Sierra Nevada
northward from Indian Wells Valley to the southern Owens Valley.

My estimable John of Volos has had more indications of a future earthquake of what he estimates to be greater than 6.7 magnitude. I am assuming it is the Richter scale but he will let us know. Within the next 60 days.
He also stated that during 3 last days, the 24 hour electric oscillation was increased dramatically. The azimuthal direction shows regularly to the Dodekanese Islands in Greece. Two small EQ’s occurred in Greece yesterday. One at Psara 4.2 and an other near Athens 3.8 at the old epicentre.
John promised to explain some of the techniques he uses and equipment involved if I would only introduce the discussion. As of now, I am dedicating Geo 9 to John's work. Please join us there as we learn of the future. I can still remember the shock of realization when I heard of the Peru quake. He has foretold it and as soon as I heard of it, I said aloud to no one "John's Earthquake!"
Oh, John, if it is an earthquake that has occurred, you may post it here. In fact, you may post it anywhere. All of Geo is effected by earthquakes!

Thank you Marcia for your help. You have right. This is exact as you say it.
Every beginning is hard! I feel more comfortable here and I will not disappoint you. Believe me. Real, I will have my base here. So, I begin in this topic and I will continue more analytic in the topic 9.
In accordance with my convictions, I repeat a part from that I sent in my first mesage to Earthquake Predictors Club.
I absolute agree with the scientific opinion for the definition of EQ prediction. Scientific earthquake predictions should state WHERE, WHEN, HOW BIG, and HOW PROBABLE the predicted event is.
I respect statics as a scientific tool but I cannot accept the statistical results as proofs. They show only tendencies and nothing more. For this reason statics revenge me hard.
Since August 1999 until 17 July 2001, and for EQ’s bigger than 6.7 that happen anyplace on earth, I have recorded 62 big pre-earthquake electric signals and occured 62 such EQ’s.
STATISTICAL ERROR = 0!
Unfortunately on 2001July 18 I recorded a new such signal.
Our work in Greece shows that the prediction of EQ’s is feasible. Unfortunately with our poor accoutrement that we dispose of it, is not possible we make supplemented scientific prediction as we wish.
Observation station in Volos, it functions with complete composition from November 2000. Thus, our experience is short but the results are impressive. I will inform you completely.
End, I wanted to inform you that the data that were recorded and are recorded in my station are available for free to anyone that it wanted for his analysis…
Now I wanted to put this last big signal below for you, but I can not. Such big signals, are polarised, all, in the North-South direction. They have, all, about the same amplitude and different duration. What reminds you Terry?
You can find many answers visiting my site, which is
http://users.otenet.gr/~bm-ohexwb/
And Dr’s Thanassoulas site, which is

Now, I will stop here. Marcia help! How I can put here an image?
Thank you again.

Geologists find vast
deep-sea coral off coast
By Lorna Siggins, Marine Correspondent, in Galway
An abundance of deep-water coral and a continuous
earthquake which is contributing to a major landslide on the
Rockall Trough have been identified by the State's £25 million
national seabed survey during its first research year.
The deep-water coral is far more extensive than previously
thought and forms part of Ireland's seabed territory, which runs
up to 650 miles off the west coast. Young fish flourish in such
coral ecosystems.
Images of the coral and of the most spectacular landslides on
the Rockall Trough were presented to the Minister of State for
Public Enterprise, Mr Joe Jacob, at Galway docks yesterday.
The Minister was on board the SV Bligh, contracted to the
Geological Survey of Ireland.
Mr Michael Geoghegan, of the GSI, said the landslides were
recorded before, but this was the first time they had been
delineated in an area the size of counties Galway and Mayo.
The trough is deeper than the Grand Canyon and dates to the
formation of the Atlantic Ocean millions of years ago.

Small volcanic earthquakes have been recorded beneath Mt Tongariro since
February 2001. These by themselves do not give reason to change the Alert Level.
The Alert Level for Tongariro remains at level 0.
As part of our routine monitoring of seismic activity, we have recorded several
volcanic earthquakes per month at Mt Tongariro since at least February. These
earthquakes are very small and have only been well recorded by one seismometer
in our permanent network. Without data from at least three seismometers it is
not possible to locate the exact source of these volcanic earthquakes........

Hi
I am back. I am looking forward to the lectures we will get in structural geology later in the year (next term)as they were GREAT last year and some of the material being covered is relevant world wide. I am learning to do geological maps (ultra basic ones but maps nonetheless)which is cool. I have a bit of an advantage because I did this last year. I failed the paper last year because I did not have the same grounding as everyone else had and stuff that they already knew was brand new to me.
The Institute of Geological and Nuclear Sciences is not getting enough funding. I imagine they probably need at least as much as they are currently getting again to be able to adequately monitor everything. I have a ten point plan to improve New Zealands readiness for a disaster:
1) more money to IGNS
2) education in schools - make earthquake drills compulsory in all schools
- include civil defence/natural hazards in social studies
3) more recruitment drives for civil defence
4) Move hospitals and emergency services out of any building more than 65 years old unless it has had earthquake proofing done in last decade
5) Set aside national disaster fund to cope with likely demands from a disaster
6) Set out a planned evacuation process for towns in the central North Island incase of severe volcanic eruption
7) Revamp anti-nuclear ship policy so ships can come in and assist during time of disaster
8) Voluntary community service with civil defence training
9) Improve job prospects for geologists and the like

I see you had another quake which I will post below. Are you doing topographic mapping? All those wretched little squiggles? I love to read the maps and HATED making them. I have one very special one by the man who created it. Those names on the maps are real people, I discovered!!!

Hi,
I will say that we live on a live Earth. If did not exist any movement, did not exist time; but perhaps neither space. We walk on the earh, where whole are moved also. Above from our heads and under our legs. We learned enough things for all that they happen from the ground and above, but almost nothing for all that they happen under and inside earth.
Under us, is the unknown and this is that affright us. Affright us, the violent outbreak of this unknown that shakes the ground, destroys our exertions and removes lives. WE CAN TO LEARN. WE WILL FIND THE SUITABLE NEW TOOLS. WE CAN!

John, I never doubted that you could do such things. You are wise in ways few of us understand. You are like the pioneers in Space or in the ocean's depths. New sciences and theories must be formulated before we begin to understand what is there. You have recently proven to be a pioneer in seismic studies. Your successful predicions from your own inventions have proven that. We CAN learn and we MUST learn what is under our feet and holds our lives in its hands. I feel every confidence in your work. Please continue to share your passion for understanding earthquakes with us. Many of our lives depend on it!
Special thanks for being here. I know how busy you are!!! And, Congratulations!

Hi
That earthquake is shallow and hopefully is just an isolated event. I make Ross to be about 30km from the Alpine Fault. Harihari is down the road headed towards Franz Josef Glacier and is about 300m from the fault, Franz Josef is about 100m from the fault (slices through the camping ground, across the river and runs parallel to the slightly raised strip of land Franz Josef is on). Fox Glacier is about the same distance as Franz Josef is from the fault.
The WORST place you can be in my opinion when the fault moves (aside from up the Waiho river valley looking at the FJ Glacier, or Fox Glacier or any town straddling the fault)is on a lake. IF the Wairarapa earthquake of 1855 is anything to go by, seiches will invariably follow in all water bodies and the rivers draining them. Whenever we go to the Glaciers or Okarito, I spend the 90 minutes between Hokitika and Franz Josef looking out the window for traces of the fault. I cannot wait for any Geology trip we make to the fault to take place as I could spend ages walking around the faultline area (or the few segments that can be seen). Maybe I need to get my drivers license.

I got to walk some of the San Andreas fault, stand with one foot on the North American plate and the other on the Pacific plate, and to view the epicenter of the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake and note the greatly-offset fencing. I wish I had been able to see down some cracks. Alas, where is was taken, it is dirt farmland and had long ago filled in. You could still trace the offset landscape across the miles, though. I envy your field trip, Rob! Please don't fall in. Here are two more New Zealand earthquakes which awaited my awakening this morning.

John is, indeed, right. He knows that better than most, and I get nudged into awareness with regularity. On this island it is much like sitting on the planet's pulse point. You can feel its life-blood throbbing in the magma chambers from time to time.

Hi,
I am always here. How it would had been this island, without the pulse of live ground? Earth, renews her cuticle with lava there. Thus, you live continuously in the juvenile earthly environment that nourishes a paradise!
In one or two days, you will have very important news, in the topic 9. I prepare it. I hope that it is enough time to me.
My hot wishes from the baked but cool and calm, for now, Greece.

Aloha Hugs, John, for your warm thoughts. Please do not work too hard - there is much to prepare in two languages for you - and you are using two different alphabet characters, too. This is very time-consuming. Please take as much time as you need and rest sometimes, and also enjoy your lovely Greecian scenery and family. You have many who wish for your time. I promise we will wait patiently as you do all the work necessary, and also try to live a normal life. Newly world-famous people deserve private time, just as the rest of us do. Please take time to smell the roses for me between bouts of painting and working and all of the other things you do. I send gentle tradewinds and soft moonlight to make your evening a happy one.
(Plese, you promised no great quakes for Greece this time!)

New Zealand hit by strong quake at 6.52 pm (0652 GMT)
A powerful but enough humane EQ hit New Zealand with 7.0 R. This EQ become in three-day high seismic danger that has center on the August 22, according to Tidal Gravity Variations curve below.
The days of high danger are from one day before to one day after the date that they show red arrows on the graph.

Oh dear, John! We are in for a bout of them world-wide or Pacific-wide? I know of the original number you told me. I shall watch and listen carefully as I do every day when I arise hardly daring to breathe lest something terrible has happened to the precious people I know. If we get one, I suspect it will be a jolt like the 7.2 which only managed to throw unlit candles across my dining room. I am checking my disaster supplies but this house is likely to be safe. Not so my neigbors. They are on a different lava flow. However, I get to do disaster relief work in the event of a great quake. If I go missing, do not worry - I will get messages back to you of my safety.

I do not worry for me. I worry for you! Your lovely Pagasetic Gulf is safe from tsunami? You are close enough to Turkey to have sundered many magnificent cities and taken many lives through the centuries. I am safe here providing Kilauea does not break in half and fall into the sea. Then we are all in big trouble! I understand your apprehension. I think it will soon be forgotten by all but you and I.

Hi Marcia,
Pagasetic Gulf is safe from tsunami because its maximum depth is only about 100 meters.
You live on a volcano cone and as I know, I believe well, it is enough safe. Relaxation angle of lava is enough wide and because around exists water is enough hard. Additionally, one other thing is the high water pressure on the rims of the cone, depending on high depth of the ocean around. Think and about the age of your island. How many years it exist your island? I think that you have not any danger... to swim you, without your desire.

I suspected that the Pagasetic Gulf was safe as was Volos. I am happy to see that confirmation.
Shield volcanoes are very stable structures, I am secure on this island made of five such volcanoes. Mauna Loa is so massive that it has created a dent in the crust, and from base to summit it is 56,000 feet high (17069 M)- Swanson - of which only 14,000 feet (4527 M) are above sea level. If we were to have submerged landslides, they would occur away from my home - and the resultant tsunamis could be quite impressive. Actually, I am situated on an old flow of Mauna Loa's and lava does not come this way when it erupts. It goes toward Hilo Bay which is some distance from here. Of course, when that happens, we get weeks to move things out of harm's way - or months. Please do not worry about my safety.
Our ocean drops off fairly quickly - we are too new to have reefs so the shallowest seas around us are 10,000 feet (3048 M)just offshore from Kilauea, and deeper as you go around to the coast line of the older volcanoes. Anchoring a boat is out of the question!

This Geobulletin came from New Zealand and I suspect shows more hindsight than anything else - it is always 20-20. I could say I noted ants in formation of the North Island and knew it would hit there. I could say almost anything!
TUESDAY'S QUAKE BIGGEST IN SIX YEARS - 22 AUGUST 2001 - [geobullet] News Release
Tuesday's magnitude 7.0 earthquake 420km northeast of Gisborne was New Zealand's
biggest jolt since a magnitude 7.1 earthquake struck in a similar location on 6
February 1995.
The Institute of Geological & Nuclear Sciences Limited (GNS) said there had been
more than 130 aftershocks, mostly between magnitude 3 and 5, since the quake
struck at 6.52pm on Tuesday. The focal point of the main shock was 33km deep.
Tremors were felt from Auckland to Otago, but most strongly along the North
Island's east coast.
The earthquake was centred at the southern end of the Tonga-Kermadec subduction
zone ? the world's busiest area for deep earthquakes, GNS seismologist Terry
Webb said.
" It's fortunate that it was centred so far from land. If it had been closer to
shore, or near a population centre, we would have been talking about serious
damage and possibly casualties," Dr Webb said.
The most likely cause of the earthquake was the bending of the Pacific plate as
it sinks beneath the Australian plate to the east of New Zealand.
" We would expect an earthquake of this magnitude to occur on-land in New
Zealand once every decade, so it's quite an unusual event."
Dr Webb said the earthquake released about 30 times more energy than the atomic
bomb dropped on Hiroshima at the end of World War 2.
" As with all large earthquakes, it was detected by seismic instruments
globally."
It was unlikely that the earthquake had relieved the stress on any of New
Zealand's major active faults as it was too far away.
Dr Webb noted that amateur meteorologist Harry Alcock of Hamilton had last week
predicted New Zealand would be affected by a large earthquake because of the
Moon's proximity to the Earth.
" We're not aware of any scientific literature confirming that the Moon is able
to trigger earthquakes, although scientists have investigated this. It would be
really exciting if a breakthrough occurred in an area such as this."
Dr Webb suggested that Mr Alcock should document his observations and have them
reviewed by scientists.
" Testing ideas is how science advances. The science community would welcome the
opportunity to evaluate such a hypothesis if the facts were laid out before us.
" Over the past 50 years many people have tried unsuccessfully to predict
earthquakes. Any prediction technique needs to have a solid track record of
successes before it can be taken seriously."
Dr Webb said false predictions had the potential to cause panic and could end up
causing as much disruption as an earthquake itself.
He said that earthquake activity in New Zealand had been "quieter than the
long-term average" during the past 50 years.
" The number of big on-land earthquakes since the early 1940s gives a misleading
impression about the earthquake hazard we face. New Zealand won't stay in this
relatively quiet state indefinitely, so it makes sense to be prepared for a
damaging earthquake.
" Tuesday's earthquake is a reminder that we live in one of the world's more
seismically active countries."

Dr Webb I also do not know. The other man he cites is an amateur (not professional) weather studier. What is his field of expertise? I would much rather put my trust in an elecrical engineer with great wisdom and talent than I would in someone so nebulous.
John he might have made the New Zealand geo-bulletin, but you made the first three pages of the Athens newspapers and radio and television. You are recognized in the profession of seismology as reliable and intelligent. We will await further word from you and not worry about the press above. I was hoping Rob would be able to inform us better of who these people are. As I mentioned above, looking back at something, anyone can say they predicted it. That you had your data in BEFORE the earthquakes you predicted speaks volumes in your behalf.
I think they must read Geo 9, alao!

Oh dear - it is not good to use hearing-aids unless you truly need them, I guess. I am wondering how you know this, but my imagination is good and I can see your curiousity from half way around the world! I can imagine it is a huge sound and not all that pleasant.
In regards to the fat man tripping and falling... I love that analogy. Here some of the seismograph cables run near the parking lot near the Thomas Jagger Museum at the summit of Kilauea. Invariably, young boys try to jump up and down to see if they can make an earthquake recording. Automobile activity is also noted. It is deleted as background incidental noise. The really deep cables to detect the micro quakes are not available for children's imaginative activities.

Hi all
Here is a list of famous earthquakes in New Zealand that have exceeded M 7.0 and have caused damage. The list works like this:Year/Month/Day/magnitude/epicentre/deaths/damage
This will read like a horror story and something frightening will become noticeable about earthquake activity the further on the list goes. See if you can figure out what might be frightening (remembering a magnitude 8 hits once every 100 years or so, a magnitude 7 every 10 years or so and a magnitude 6 every year (ON AVERAGE - not always the case)).
The earthquakes date back to 1855.
1)1855/1/23/M 8.2/40km SE of Wellington/5/limited because of low population density
2)1888/9/1/M 7.3/ 50km W of Hanmer/none/cathedral spire broken in CHCH, and moderate damage elsewhere
3)1929/6/17?/M 7.8/ near Murchison/17/widespread moderate damage (slips, displacement)widespread
4)1931/2/3/M 7.9/ 10km E of Napier/256/extreme - Napier destroyed, and Hastings severely damaged
5)1942/6/24/M 7.2/near Masterton/-/moderate to severe in Masterton
6)1942/-/-/ M 7.0+/ " " " " " " " "
7)1968/5/23/M 7.1/Inangahua/3/severe (uplift,landslips)
No earthquake exceeding 7 has hit the South Island since Inangahua was rocked in 1968, no earthquake exceeding 8 has hit anywhere in the country since 1855, and no earthquake (with it's epicentre ON land)exceeding 7 has done any damage anywhere in the country since Inangahua.
Forecast for the future is grim. At LEAST one magnitude 8 earthquake expected in
the New Zealand in the next hundred years, centred on the Alpine Fault, moderate to severe damage in Christchurch, Nelson, Wellington and extreme damage on the West Coast. A second earthquake (over Mw 7.5)expected in Wellington in next hundred years, centred on the Wellington Fault (RUNS THROUGH GREATER WELLINGTON NOT MORE THAN 1KM FROM PARLIAMENT), damage severe to extreme.
Sound bad?

Oh Rob!!! Bad? It sounds like a big budget movie for Hollywood to follow up the previous earthquake movies and succeed those volcano movies we have been discussing. Curious that it runs so close to Parliament yet they seem unconcerned. Thus far they have been lucky, and no more than that. Time and fate seems stacked against them - how can they be so blind?! That 7.0 last week should have been the wake-up call for those in Power to do something about the next one which just might take out a few of their constituents. I'm not sure you want a FEMA-sytle bureaucracy in place, but something needs to be done, and the sooner the better!
How are you coming on your caches of disaster supplies? Now that you have time between semesters, it seems an ideal time to further your plans. Now, to get your parents to agree to let you keep the stuff handy... That is my difficulty. I did empty a drawer in the sideboard in the dining room but the drawers are prone to jamming. It is a certainty that I would not be able to get them open in the case of an earthquake of a magnitude requiring my use of that cache. Suggestions?

Seismic Doubleheader: Seismologist Shows Deep Earthquakes Come In Pairs
Seismologists now know that deep earthquakes like to do just like baseball
immortal Ernie Banks liked to : "Play two today." Douglas A. Wiens, Ph.D.,
professor of earth and planetary sciences at Washington University in St.
Louis, has seismic wave evidence that many deep earthquakes in the Tonga
area occur at the same spot repeatedly and often occur in pairs.
The second earthquake generally has the same magnitude and follows the first
within one day. These earthquake doubleheaders are seldom found for
earthquakes at shallow depths, such as along the San Andreas Fault. These
results may imply that earthquakes deeper than 300 miles do not represent
brittle slip along a fault, as do shallow earthquakes that can be studied more
readily.
The results were published in the August 24 issue of Science. The research
was supported by the National Science Foundation. "We noticed some deep
earthquake seismograms were identical, showing precisely the same pattern of
wiggles each time. Our research then showed that these earthquakes were
occurring in the same spot repeatedly," he said. "Because these seismograms
were so similar we could tell that part of the fault was slipping over and over
again."
The cause of earthquakes deeper than 50 miles has been controversial for
several decades. One theory on the mechanism of deep earthquakes is called
transformational faulting. In this model, earthquakes occur when material at
high pressure deep in the earth undergoes a phase transformation, similar to
when carbon is converted to artificial diamonds in a laboratory. Previous
studies had suggested that if deep earthquakes were due to transformational
faulting, they should not recur at the same location. But Wiens' observation
shows that deep earthquakes often recur at the same location, making this
theory less likely.

John, they have been reading your data on Geo 9, again:
Sparks that signal the shock
The earth's surface is a jigsaw of tectonic plates, each a slab of
rock hundreds of kilometres across. Pressure builds up in the
fault lines between these plates, and when a section of rock
slips suddenly the result is an earthquake.
It appears to be a purely physical process, so it is surprising to
discover there is an electrical dimension. Not only do
earthquakes cause a variety of electrical effects, but we now
know how to trigger them using a pulse of artificial lightning.
A surge of low-frequency electromagnetic radiation, known as a
precursor signal, is sometimes detected before an earthquake.
These can show up in unexpected ways. When the radiographer
Mike Grayson was carrying out a CAT scan in Newcastle, New
South Wales, he noticed unusual streaks appearing on the
image.
Seventeen minutes later, the city was struck by a major
earthquake. The occupants of the hospital were unharmed,
though parts of it, including the scanning room, were
demolished. Grayson said afterwards: "If I ever see that image
again I'd be the first out of the building."
In 1991, a group of American scientists were investigating how
natural background noise interferes with satellite
communication. A detector in Corralitos indicated ultra low
frequency radio noise more than 20 times stronger than usual. It
looked like an equipment fault and the signal disappeared. A few
hours later an earthquake struck less than five miles away. Not
all earthquakes seem to produce precursor signals, so they are
unreliable as a means of earthquake prediction.
When they do occur they can cause spectacular effects,
described by one Japanese researcher as Alice In Wonderland
syndrome. Before the Kobe earthquake, there were reports of
U-shaped candle flames, clocks whose second hands suddenly
went around very quickly or stopped, swarming earthworms and
schools of fish aligning themselves in the same direction.
Such stories were once dismissed as folk myths, but
researchers at the quantum geophysics laboratory in Osaka
found they could all be duplicated using electrical equipment.
There is also a long history of stories of earthquake lights.
These range from glowing fireballs popping out of the ground to a
diffuse sparkling in the sky.
There is no accepted explanation, but they are thought to be
related to St Elmo's fire, the glowing ionisation sometimes seen
on ships' masts in stormy conditions. This is caused by a
strong electric field in the air, which Japanese researchers
believe may be associated with the precursor signal.
The Soviets set out to map the conductivity of the earth's crust
in an area of seismic activity in Tajikistan. Their experiments,
carried out in the 1970s, involved firing massive charges of
electricity into the earth. There were tremors but nobody paid
much attention. In 1993, Nikolai Tarasov of the institute of earth
physics in Moscow analysed data from the trials and found
something remarkable.
The electromagnetic pulses from the experiment were followed
by tremors, each one releasing up to a million times as much
energy as the pulse that preceded it. Tarasov went on to look at
the results of similar experiments carried out at Tien Shan in the
1980s, and found that two-thirds were also followed by tremors.
Tarasov is now part of a team being funded by the EU to
investigate how electricity can cause earthquakes.
There is nothing in the standard geological model to explain it.
One suggestion is that the electric pulse may be heating up
groundwater and increasing pressure. We know about the impor
tance of underground water pressure from the Rocky Mountain
waste disposal project in the 1960s. A deep well was drilled at
Rocky Mountain for the disposal of chemical waste. Millions of
litres were injected, and the area, which had been quiet for
almost a century, started to suffer hundreds of small
earthquakes, with most activity in the months when disposal
was taking place.

UK Children Cause Earthquake in Giant Jump
Reuters
Sep 7 2001 9:55AM
LONDON (Reuters) - Around one million British school children
succeeded in causing an earthquake on Friday, jumping up and down
simultaneously in the world's largest scientific experiment.
Thousands of schools around Britain were asked to send children out
into the playgrounds at 11 a.m. (6:00 a.m. EDT) to jump up and down for
a minute in the hope of creating a measurable quake.
Organizers of the Giant Jump event, held to mark the launch of the
government's Science Year, said it had been a success.
"We're almost sure we had a million people out there jumping for us. We
got some kind of result at every single seismometer around the country,"
Nigel Pain, director of Science Year, told Reuters.
"We generated something like a hundredth of a serious earthquake --
that's not an enormous amount of energy but it's significant."
The exact number of people taking part would have to be verified, but he
said it was an unofficial world record.
Early estimates suggested 75,000 tons of energy had been released
during the minute of jumping.
"Because it's dissipated across the whole country it didn't do very much
damage. But drop that in one spot and it would have caused quite a big
hole in the ground," he added.
Over the next two weeks the results from around the country will be
analyzed to see if the event registered on the Richter scale.
Scientists said a million children with an average weight of 110 pounds
jumping 20 times in a minute would release two billion joules of energy
and trigger the equivalent of an earthquake measuring three on the
Richter scale.
The event has also attracted serious attention from scientists including
the Atomic Weapons Establishment (AWE), which maintains Britain's
nuclear warheads.

Small Earthquake Jolts Los Angeles
The Associated Press
Sep 10 2001 12:26AM
LOS ANGELES (AP) - An earthquake shook the greater Los Angeles area
Sunday afternoon, but there were no reports of serious damage or injury.
The quake had a magnitude of 4.2 and was centered about one mile
south-southeast of West Hollywood, said Lucy Jones, scientist in charge
of the U.S. Geological Survey office in Pasadena. It was a new quake,
unrelated to any previous event.
The quake was felt in downtown Los Angeles where it rolled for about
four seconds and shook in the suburban areas of Van Nuys, Whittier and
Glendale. The quake was felt as far away as Lancaster, about 70 miles
north of downtown Los Angeles.
An estimated 10 million people likely felt the quake, Jones said.
The quake struck at 4:59 p.m. and was followed by three aftershocks,
Jones said. A magnitude 2.8 aftershock struck at 5:01 p.m. in the Beverly
Hills area and the two other aftershocks had magnitudes of 2.0 and 1.8.
Seismologist and fire department officials said the quake was not strong
enough to cause major structural damage.
``It is the type that would rattle dishes, knock dishes out of shelves and
things of this nature. But as far as damage to buildings, I don't think we'll
have significant damage to any buildings or ruptured pipes or anything
like this as a result of this particular earthquake,'' said city fire department
spokesman Jim Wells.
An apartment complex sustained moderate damage when a third-story,
glass corner window collapsed outward, Wells said. Residents were
evacuated and inspectors were called in to determine the building's
structural integrity.
The 1994 Northridge earthquake was the last major temblor to strike in
the Los Angeles area. The 6.7 magnitude quake killed 72 people and
caused $25 billion in damage.
The temblor that struck Sunday had a depth of 2.3 miles and was the first
4.0-plus quake in the Los Angeles basin since the last aftershock
associated with the 1994 Northridge quake, Jones said. That aftershock
occurred in 1997.

I cannot imagine coordinating a sufficiently large populace to jump up and down to do anything. I have even heard that poor nations could destroy the world without weapons if they all jumped up and down at the same time. The chances of that happening is so remote as to be irrelevant to science, let alone world changes. I can imagine the probability of the UK experiment's success was infinitesimal. On to the next foolishess to keep school children from their books! I imagine it beats learning how to read in popularity amongst the little ones.

I am posting this NOT so you can worry about me, please...
Many other earthquakes, including the largest ones, occur in areas of structural
weakness at the base of Hawai`i's volcanoes or deep within the Earth's crust
beneath the island. These are referred to as tectonic earthquakes. In the past 150
years, several strong tectonic earthquakes (magnitude 6 to 8) caused extensive
damage to roads, buildings, and homes, triggered local tsunami, and resulted in loss
of life. The most destructive earthquake in Hawai`i's history occurred on April 2,
1868, when 81 people lost their lives. With a magnitude of 7.9 and a maximum
intensity of XII, this destructive earthquake destroyed more than a hundred homes
and generated a 15-m high tsunami along Kilauea's south coast.

Source of 1356 Earthquake Is Found
The Associated Press
Sep 13 2001 2:01PM
WASHINGTON (AP) - The powerful earthquake threw down as many as
40 castles surrounding Basel, Switzerland. Church towers toppled for
miles around. The 1356 tremor was one more disaster in a Europe
suffering through the Great Plague, and one that remained largely
unexplained.
Now researchers report they have found an active fault line south of Basel
that is likely to have caused that medieval quake, the most powerful on
record in central Europe.
The fault runs through quiet suburbs and forests and is marked by a
steep slope about 6 feet high where the ground on one side has sunk,
the research team led by Mustapha Meghraoui of the University of
Strasbourg, France, reports in Friday's issue of the journal Science.
Analysis of the gravel and clay deposited along the fault indicates three
different powerful quakes in the region over the last 8,500 years, the team
said.
They estimated the magnitude of the 1356 quake at between 6.0 and 6.5,
a strength that can do severe damage, though not as powerful as some
quakes that have occurred in California, Alaska and Japan.
Even so, an earthquake similar to the 1356 event would cause an
estimated $30 billion to $50 billion worth of damage if it struck today, said
co-author Domenico Giardini of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology.
The study indicates a similar quake would occur in the region about every
1,500 to 2,500 years, said Meghraoui.

Determining the effects of a possible New York quake
By MOLLY BLOOM
Princetonian Senior Writer
It's hard to see the big picture when the ground keeps shifting beneath
your feet.
But three Princeton researchers — associate professor of civil and
environmental engineering George Deodatis, associate professor of
architecture Guy Nordenson and civil engineering graduate student
Michael Tantala — accomplished just that this past semester. By using a
computer program to simulate earthquakes, Deodatis, Nordenson and
Tantala completed a study that determined the effects a medium-size
earthquake might have on every building in Manhattan.

Fault linked to historic Swiss quake
WASHINGTON, Sept. 13 — The powerful earthquake
threw down as many as 40 castles surrounding
Basel, Switzerland. Church towers toppled for
miles around. The 1356 tremor was one more
disaster in a Europe suffering through the Great
Plague, and one that remained largely
unexplained. Now researchers report they have
found an active fault line south of Basel that is
likely to have caused that medieval quake, the
most powerful on record in central Europe.

Rob reports elsewhere no damage has been reported due to the 5.6 earthquake in New Zealand. I suspect there are a few new cracks in concrete as happened with the 6.7 earthquake we had. It was under the lanai which was not a structural part of the house and we can still look at it and remember we have a souvenir of and earthquake. May they all be that insignificant!

NEWS RELEASE, 12 OCTOBER 2001
SPECIALISTS GATHER TO SHARE KNOWLEDGE ON QUAKE-PREPAREDNESS
International specialists will gather in Wellington next week for a workshop on
the measures that can be taken to reduce New Zealand's vulnerability to
earthquakes.
Topics at the two-day workshop at Te Papa will include the latest international
practice in response to and recovery after an earthquake, lessons learnt from
recent overseas earthquakes, and steps that organisations can take to lower
their vulnerability to earthquakes.
Sessions at the Wellington Lifelines Group International Workshop are scheduled
for October 16 and 17. There is an optional guided tour of the Wellington and
Hutt Valley segment of the Wellington Fault on October 15. The tour will include
an inspection of mitigation measures at the Te Marua Water Treatment Plant,
Transpower's substation at Haywards, and the Thorndon Overbridge on State
Highway 1.
A major focus of the workshop is protection for infrastructure such as
transportation, communications, gas, water, electricity, and sewerage.
" The potential to reduce social and economic losses through improved mitigation
measures for engineering lifelines is substantial," said organiser David
Brunsdon of the Wellington Lifelines Group.
" The workshop will focus on the latest techniques than can be applied,
sometimes at relatively low cost, to reduce the vulnerability of services and
utilities to earthquakes. Speakers and participants will also discuss asset and
risk management as well as examining ways to improve post-earthquake recovery."
The workshop marks the tenth anniversary of major report on the vulnerability of
Wellington's "engineering lifelines" to an earthquake. The 1991 report,
produced by the Centre for Advanced Engineering at Canterbury University, is
seen as a milestone in the way it brought together a wide range of organisations
and specialists to address the vulnerability of the capital to an earthquake.
The Wellington Lifelines Group, the first such group in New Zealand, was formed
as a result of the 1991 report and since then similar lifelines groups have
formed throughout the country.
The Wellington group, which operates through the Wellington Regional Council,
comprises utility and transport sector organisations, territorial authorities,
emergency management agencies, research organisations, the insurance industry
and consultants. Representatives from all these sectors will participate in next
week's workshop.
The workshop is being sponsored by the Earthquake Commission and the Wellington
Regional Council.

North Island and as far south as Wellington. Minor damage has been
reported in Napier and Hastings (the latter 10km northeast of the
epicentre).
----------------------------
Galen Stormwalker reported this about the same quake
was a real good shake up, we live in Hastings, noticed Cannon Point siesmograph was not working for a
while and also GNS was out of action till today for some reason so getting data was hard.
Still we are still here and that is what matters :-)

JET PROPULSION LABORATORY RADAR HELPS MONITOR OIL FIELDS
Radar images of the surface of an oil field are helping scientists
understand how rocks deep within the field behave, which may help oil
companies reduce costs and increase production.
In this pilot study, the researchers are monitoring where and how much
the ground surface sinks as oil is pumped from a large oil field.
Subsidence means that rocks are collapsing deep underground. It can
damage oil wells and reduce the amount of oil that can be pumped from a
field. In their study, geophysicist Dr. Eric Fielding, of NASA's Jet
Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif., and Dr. Tadeusz Patzek, associate
professor of petroleum engineering at the University of California,
Berkeley, looked at Chevron's Lost Hills oil field. Lost Hills is located
about 40 miles
northwest of Bakersfield in California's San Joaquin Valley.
About a mile wide and more than three miles long, parts of the oil
field have subsided 3 meters (10 feet) since 1989.
The researchers compared radar images of the oil field taken during
1995, 1996, 1998 and 1999, using a technique called radar interferometry.
This involves precisely aligning two radar images taken at different
times. It produces accurate measurements of topography and of surfaces
that may have changed in the time between collection of the data.
Using these radar data, scientists found that parts of the oil field
were subsiding unusually rapidly, more than 3 centimeters (1.2 inches) a
month, in 1995 and 1996. They also discovered that while the ground
subsidence rate decreased in the center part of the oilfield, it increased
in the northern part in every year observed between 1995 and 1999.
"This is an exciting new application for synthetic aperture radar,
monitoring subsidence over an oil field from space," said Fielding. "We're
now working with Chevron to combine these subsidence maps with the
records of oil and water extraction and injection to understand how oil-
containing rock is behaving beneath the surface."
The project is a collaboration supported by NASA, the University of
California, Berkeley, the Department of Energy and Chevron U.S.A. The
results were presented in October 2001
at the Society of Petroleum Engineers Annual Technical
Conference and Exhibition. JPL is a division of the
California Institute of Technology in Pasadena.

There have been many small quakes in the vicinity of Petrolia, California lately. I have not posted them since all were sub 4.0 and would have used up a lot of space in proportion to their importance! Thus I posted the above article in the seimology topic. I suspect the activity in the area is not separate from the withdrawal of sub-surface oil deposits.

Magnitude vs. Intensity
Magnitude is the rating or size assigned to a given earthquake independent of the
place of observation. HVO uses amplitude (height in millimeters of wave motion)
and/or duration (length in seconds of wave motion) to calculate magnitude.
Amplitude magnitude is determined using the Richter Scale. Duration magnitude is
determined by scaling the length of a recorded signal in seconds to a magnitude
value.
Intensity is the description of how strong an earthquake was felt at a given site. It is
a measurement of damage to man-made structures or changes in the earth's surface
caused by an earthquake. Unlike the magnitude, intensity ratings may vary from one
site to another. The Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale is the rating used to describe
the results of an earthquake. This description is a vital tool that scientists depend on
to learn the relative effects of an earthquake within a given locality.

The GeoNet website made its debut on October 18.
It can be found at
http://www.geonet.org.nz
We hope that it will provide a one-stop shop for people wanting the latest
geological hazard information, including the latest three earthquakes, the
volcano status levels, and a recent picture from one of our volcano cameras.
This is only the beginning for the site, as we have many more useful displays
and products in the pipeline, such as downloadable seismic and GPS data for
research purposes, and an online felt reporting facility.
Please note it is still under development: Some existing GNS pages will be
reviewed and brought into the GeoNet site, whilst others will remain as part of
the GNS site. We welcome feedback and suggestions from users to help shape our
future plans for the site.

Small earthquake shakes NYC metro area
By LUKAS I. ALPERT
The Associated Press
10/27/01 4:57 AM
NEW YORK (AP) -- A minor earthquake shook the New
York City metro area early Saturday, knocking pictures off
walls, breaking china and rattling the nerves of some still
jumpy in the wake of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
A magnitude-2.6 earthquake hit under lower Manhattan
around 1:42 a.m., said Dr. John Ebel, director of the
Weston Observatory at Boston College, which monitors
seismic activity in the Northeast.
"That's more than a tremor. That's a small earthquake,"
Ebel said.
At first police scrambled to determine what was going on,
as 911 calls flooded in reporting shaking buildings and a
booming sound, but there were no immediate reports of
injuries or damage, said Detective Edward Reuss, a
spokesman for the New York Police Department.
Calls came in primarily from Manhattan and Queens, a
spokesman for the fire department said. About an hour after
the quake, residents in the Astoria section of Queens were
seen standing out in the street, some wearing little more
than their bed clothes.
One woman, Josephine Toscamo, said she was woken by
a loud boom and the sound of breaking glass, as glasses in
her china cabinet fell over, and lamps fell to the floor.
"I'm a little shaken up so I'm going to spend the night at my
friend's," she said.
Meanwhile, recovery work continued uninterrupted at the
site of the World Trade Center collapse.
Carolyn Bell, a spokeswoman for the U.S.G.S., said no
damage was expected, but the quake was felt into Long
Island and New Jersey.
The last significant natural seismic event to strike the city
was a magnitude-2.4 earthquake on January 17.

everyday we get earthquakes of that size and it is
certainly not everyday that we get one of that size in the Taupo

Seismic Vessel Maps Greek Fault Lines
By Karolos Grohmann
ATHENS (Reuters) - In a country often described as sitting on a plate of broken
glass, the sailing of a U.S. seismology vessel into Greek waters was bound to run
into choppy seas.
Columbia University's "Maurice Ewing" was charting the submarine swaths of
the Gulf of Corinth just as a 5.7 Richter quake hit the central Aegean island of
Skyros some 200 km east of the Gulf this summer, damaging scores of buildings.
"That was just a gentle reminder," joked University of Hawaii Professor Brian
Taylor.
Other tremors shook the western city of Patras and the Ionian island of
Zakynthos, sending Greeks into the streets two years after a strong quake in
Athens killed 143 people.
Undaunted during its 10-day mission to Greece, the Ewing unreeled its six-km
(3.75 mile) long hydrophone cable to chart the depths of the sea and pinpoint potential crust faults.
Its sound guns, 20 air-popping glass and metal tubes attached to the stern, shot air into the depths of the
Corinth Gulf every few seconds.
ANATOLIAN FAULT
Greece is not just a jigsaw puzzle of faults and crusts, it also sits on the daunting north Anatolian fault
system.
This vast and evolving fault stretches for thousands of miles from the depths of eastern Turkey, through
the sea of Marmara and down into the central Aegean before ending abruptly in mainland Greece.
Greek seismologists are looking at the Ewing for clues on when and where the next tremor will strike.
"We're not in the business of earthquake prediction, we don't believe it's realizable," said Michael Purdy,
director of Columbia's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory.
But he still thinks earthquakes are worth talking about.
"If we are to make progress we should coordinate and collaborate," Purdy told an audience of Turkish,
Italian and Greek colleagues, as his vessel, carrying dozens of scientists and technicians, docked in the
port of Piraeus.
Several prominent Greek seismologists attacked each other's views on the quakes. Some predicted future
tremors, causing public concern.
But the Ewing's clear-headed and pedantic marine survey is expected to provide tangible information on
the historic gulf's sub-sea faults.
"We have imaged the faults in the upper crust, where they occur and how they link, or don't link, to
known faults on land," Taylor told reporters.
At a speed of just five knots an hour, the Ewing fired its sound guns, patiently mapping the seafloor which
emerged in multicolor print-outs, computer screens and plotters, in the vessel's nerve center, the high-tech
instrument room.
"We could say these guns are a highly advanced sonar, sending a signal into the water and waiting to get
an echo back which will give us information on the seabed," said a scientist on board the ship.
He said the data will take more than 12 months to process but is expected to show the distribution of
faults at depths of 5-15 km, the point where major earthquakes occur.
WORKING TOGETHER
Greek seismologists, eager to get their hands on such information, were quick to join scientists on the
Ewing.
"We never had data using cable of such length -- this is very useful for us as it gets information from
much, much deeper," said Athens' National Observatory seismologist Maria Sachpazi.
As part of their visit to Greece, the U.S. scientists joined other colleagues in the northern city of
Thessaloniki to discuss the Anatolian fault -- many times more lethal than the spider web fault plan of the
Corinth Gulf.
Greece and Turkey share a long history of destructive earthquakes related to this fault. The latest tremors
in northwestern Turkey in 1999, measuring 7.4 and 7.2 on the Richter scale, killed more than 18,000
people.
"This system and its related secondary faults...are the most significant source of earthquake hazard in the
region," said Aristotle University geophysics professor Eleftheria Papadimitriou, who urged her colleagues
to start joint projects to study the fault.
Other scientists agreed recent ruptures in the fault's system heightened the risk of destructive quakes in
the next 30 years and increased the need for joint research.
"We suggest the establishment of an Internet-based Northern Aegean and Marmara Earthquake
Information Network," said Naci Gorur, coordinator of Marine Research at Turkey's Scientific and
Technical Research Council.
For once, Greeks and Turks, traditionally at odds over a series of political issues, seemed to agree.

Wolfie! *HUGS* I am SO happy to see you again!!!
Welcome to the seismically active world. I hope you report your experiences. Have you ever felt an earthquake? It is quite an experience! I rather like them since ours have been relatively harmless in the past 100 years.

when i was a small child, we had a tremor while stationed in San Fran. i remember nothing about it.
we've had quite the tradeoff though--instead of hiding in the bathroom from tornadoes, we'll be hiding in doorways from earthquakes!

Quakes are funny like that unless they are strong enough to be scary. Your mind mades up reasons for why the floor is moving under you. I have a spring steel wire set of balls which oscillate when my house moves. Sometimes it is all I have to indicate that my mind is not playing nasty tricks on me and I really did feel the earth move.

May your doorways be sturdy and secure, and your earthquakes be small and fun. I'd much rather have gentle quakes than tornadoes. Even oru 7.2 shaker was much to be prefered to the capricious winds that take houses and lives seemingly at random. Rememver Geo 9, as well. That is where John holds forth on his predictions (he is totally realiable.)and seismology. I'll start posting smaller quakes from California now that you are there, Wolfie!

It is very interesting that Marcia has seismo-indicator spring-ball already. I have the following proposal for somebody, who can make something more efficient. I hope that you will not run to it, each time where you think that an earthquake becomes.

Under from each cup I would put an electric contact. Thus, each time where would fall a ball, could sound a bell.

John, that is wonderful and much more aesthetic than mine. I'll photograph it and post it while I wait for our interminable rain to cease. Your seismic detector would look splendid next to my Galilean thermometer.

John, how large is that seismic detector you posted? I cannot imagine running into it in the middle of the night, but it might be irritating to hear all the time during sleep if you lived in a seismically active area. How sensitive is it? Mine detects anything I detect, even if just subliminal. At times just one ball-wire is moving - in the direction of the movement of the earth. It is quite amazing conidering it cost less than $5 and was supposed to be a "conversation piece."

Mine was found in a tourist shop in Lahina, Maui. It was supposed to move in wind but was not all that good at it. However, it has proven invaluable at earthquake affirmation. Nothing is spookier than feeling queasily like the gound is moving under you. It is reassuring tofind that it really was. The last time I consulted my seismic oracle, the movement was so slight only I felt it. We all went to the oracle and found one strand oscillating exactly in the direction I had felt the waves under my chair.
I'd like to know where to get John's. His is beautiful. Now, if I could get my picture ftp'd to some place I can see it (my ability seems to vary with the time of day) you will see mine, as well. Help!!!
I guess I am doomed to buy yet another set of ftp programming if this continues.

here is my Seismic Oracle. It is sitting atop a large stereo speaker on one side of my living room. It is about eye level for me and is illuminated by a little
light source in the base on which it sits so I can see it at night.

The clever point of your seismo-indicator is the different natural oscillation frequency for each ball.
If I see well in the photograph, the balls do not have the same size (I infer different mass) neither the lengths of springs are the same. This means that each ball has different natural oscillation frequency. Each time oscillates, with biggest oscillation amplitude, the ball that has similar natural oscillation frequency with the seismic wave.

How wonderful you have made my Seismic sensor, John. The wires are almost the same lenght but the balls very in size from tiny to large. The balls can be changed in position, but it takes a precise arangement to make them spray from 90° to horizontal position. It never occurred to me that there might be intricate physics involved. Little wonder just one was ocsillating for that faint quake both it and I detected. It is on a very solid structure and below it is the cememt slab on which sits the house. Consequently, I cannot make the oscillations happen just by bumping into it. The only time it moves without an earthquake is when I dust it, or when I must change the little bulb which illuminates it.
The Chinese seismic detector appears to be much less sensitive. I suspect that could be adjusted by the heaviness and suspension of the central weight and the structure on which it stands. I'm sure there is more to the physics involved than I have observed. I like mine better, even if it cannot be wired to a bell.

Yes!!! I suppose you can make a seismic detector like mine! It is surely worth the try. Use various sizes of beads and make certain you use springy-steel wires. I think mine is not so spohisticated in planned design. Rather, I think they just cut random wires about the same length, inserted them tightly in a hole drilled into an acryllic square (or foam block attached to a solid base) and moved the balls around until they form the prettiest spray formation. I have moved the balls on the wires to see how they achieved the effect. Let me know of your success. I think we have a new topic for the Crafts conference!

Alaska is right on the northern plate boundry of the Pacific Plate and the Aleutian Volcanos are the result of the Zone of Subduction there. If the entire Pacific is subducting at the edges (diving under neighboring plates and pushing up volcanoes) where is the corresponding Zone of Expansion? Surely not Hawaii. The Mid-Atlantic Ridge??

Wolfie, it is usually good to have all these quakes to take the strain off the adjacent plates. They grind past each other in jolts. Like baby-steps, little is better. If the little ones do not occur, they build up pressure to the breaking point. Then you get one huge one to compensate. It's like sanding a wooden plank with a nail or knot in is. The sand paper wears away the wood evenly and
gradually unless it hits the knot or nail. Then you have trouble. If the fault system has been quiet for a while, strain builds up and a precursor quake might happen. Good news for Rob below as his plates grind along eachother in small jolts. The same applies to the activity in California, Hawaii and Greece. Many small ones is good!

Hi all
Marcia, Wolfie this is for you:
Marcia, note the distinct lack of earthquakes on the mid section of the Alpine fault (the really big gap in the pattern). The reason why I am worried about the safety of those in Franz Josef is because that segment is strike slip. It moves horizontally and in the case of Franz Josef the western segment (Indian Plate is moving NE and the Pacific is going SW). The faultline in the segment where so few earthquakes are occurring has a nearly vertical plane of dip and that means the plates are locked. They cannot move. But, they are GOING TO MOVE because eventually the stress on either side of the fault is going to become too great for the fault to manage. This segment in question moves about every 250-350 years and is expected to produce a magnitude 8 earthquake when it does.
And Wolfie, here is the bad news. The last earthquake was 280 years ago. The fault as far I am concerned is primed to blow.

I don't know whether you are aware but we had a largish earthquake for us some few days ago in the Esperance - Albany region of Western Australia. We are supposed! to be rather stable but it seems this one was largish for us.

I would say to you my more realistic opinion about the seismicity in an area.
Seismologists says that seismic quietness mean that accumulates pressure between the sides of a fault and this is very dangerous because it can produce a big EQ. Contrary, small EQ’s indicates that the pressure is reduced and the danger becomes smaller. This is that says Marcia and is a logical reassuring opinion.
But, it does not happen always like this. I can say that if we have small EQ’s, this means that we have enough and increasing pressure between the fault sides surely; nothing more and nothing less. If we have seismic quietness, this means that either does not exists any pressure and there is no danger, or that there is an increasing pressure before an EQ.
In case that we have, in an area, increasing pressure and small EQ’s or not, it will become a bigger EQ, only if the mechanical resistance of the rocks is enough big.
Nature is enough complex and we cannot say anything if we are measuring only its events. We need more and new tools and also proofs for our theories.
Regards
John

Thanks, all for a most enlightening discussion. Faults are not always neatly parallel nor are they always the same depth. Top strata of rock may move quietly while the main block of the plate builds up increasing pressure due to the torque. You can easily demonstrate this using two colors of clay. Then, there is the difficulty of several faults converging on one point. Due to the angles of collision they express pressure differently from the main fault system. A small quake on a secondary fault might trigger even bigger ones in the main fault.
John, you are doing much to understand this problem We need not only better instruments, time to study them, and a geoilogical time span of hindsight to give us better insight into the dynamics of seismic activity.
Yes, Anne, your EQ in Australia was duly reported here. Since I had no direct Oz contacts at that point, I left it uncommented upon. We have missed you!! Welcome back with *Hugs* of Aloha.
As to the seismic activity to which I am subject, they are not much related to one another.
1) small quakes indicating movement of magma and the subsequent adjustment to the increase or decrease of pressure it causes. These quakes are small.
2)Land fracturing and faulting into the sea. These are rare on a human scale but many can be detected on on seafloor maps. The quakes such faulting can cause can be catastrophic and cause almost instantaneous tsunamis. We have experinced one such on this island sinc I have been resident, and the ensuing tsunami killed Hilo's best surgeon who was camping with his son's Boy Scout Troop. That land is now under water.
3)Plate movement which caused our 7.2 earthquake. This sort of seismic activity does not have aftershocks, usually. How many other sorts are there? I think we do not have the stress fault earthquakes which most people expereince.
