7.8 earthquake!

[StackerKen]

in Sumatra

With a tsunami alert.

We really should be starting a pool with all these earthquakes and what not.

I've got New Madrid. :)

watch the sun for predictive ability of these. there's been a warning active past couple of days on spaceweather or similar.


GEOMAGNETIC STORM: A sharp gust of solar wind hit Earth's magnetosphere on April 5th and sparked the strongest geomagnetic storm of the year (Kindex=7). Although the storm is subsiding now, it is not over.

there was a big filament on the sun that collapsed just before the chilean quake, i think. not been following too closely, but there does seem to be a link between solar and earthquake activity.

Uranium,

Like watch SOHO? What are the predictive indicators?

EDIT: ahh ok. Yeah I do remember reading something along those lines in the conspiracy section of the old GIM.

That was an awesome thread. Too bad it's gone. :(

[uranian]

aries, try this for lots of similar stuff put together (slow to load):

http://solarimg.org/files/realtime/display.php

and if you can sift the diamonds from the manure at GLP (sorting threads by star ratings work for me), lots of good info there. the solar system is moving through a belt of highly magnetised plasma, which is affecting everything (in the news recently, pluto changed colour), certainly the sun, which being 99% the mass of the solar system, in turn affects things here. the magnetosphere's been taking a battering for months now, aurora reports are unprecedented over the past couple of days (flashing, strobing stuff), sorry no link just trawling somewhere for info.

nb my avatar is realtime of the sun, something i never managed at GIM, big flares/CMEs take 2 or 3 days to reach us.

[Ares]

Also add to the list of the solar system getting ready to slide through the galactic plane?

Interesting times indeed.

Thanks for the link.

Last month they were reverberating between Chili & Japan,

This time it's between Cali & the East Indies.

[uranian]

webbots predicted 6 major quakes for this year.

[Spectrism]

I think we will see these things get worse in their series but I expect there will be rest periods in between the series. The rest periods will shorten as the earthquakes and volcanoes get worse.

Watch for amazing sky activity too.

These are the days I have been watching for over the last 15 years.

Mat 24:6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
Mat 24:7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
Mat 24:8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

1Th 5:2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
1Th 5:3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.


I wanted to post a thread in the religious section... and will, but this one asked for a quick note.

[uranian]

interesting too that the GCP (http://gcpdot.com/) dot has been showing high non-randomness for a few hours. unusual, that.

[FiftySense]

I don't recall ever seeing so many earthquakes in such a short amount of time. The earth is getting a facelift it seems.

[AndreaGail]

downgraded just a bit to 7.7

measures temporal variations in the geomagnetic field in the ULF (ultra-low frequency) range of 0-5 Hz.

[Ares]

Definitely looks like there is a correlation with the Sun and the recent earthquakes.

I wonder if that's always been the case, and we're just now able to detect it?

[uranian]

there does seem to be a relationship. below is the image for a day before 2009's biggest quake (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009_Samoa_earthquake), which displaced 10,000 in samoa:

SPACE WEATHER ADVISORY BULLETIN #10- 1
(2010 April 05 1213 UTC)
http://www.spaceref.com/news/viewsr.html?pid=33826

**** STRONG GEOMAGNETIC STORM [Warning] ****

A geomagnetic storm began at 05:55 AM EST Monday, April 5, 2010. Space weather storm levels reached Strong (G3) levels on the Geomagnetic Storms Space Weather Scale. The source of the storming is an Earth-directed Coronal Mass Ejection associated with a weak solar flare that occurred in Active Region 1059 on April 3 at 05:54 AM EST. This is expected to be an isolated storm that should subside quickly.

Earth struck by most powerful space storm in three years (http://)


The most powerful geomagnetic storm since December 2006 struck the Earth on Monday, a day earlier than expected.

On 3 April, the SOHO spacecraft spotted a cloud of charged particles called a coronal mass ejection (CME (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geomagnetic_storm#Historical_occurrences)) shooting from the sun at 500 kilometres per second. This velocity suggested the front would reach Earth in roughly three days.

"It hit earlier and harder than forecast," says Doug Biesecker of the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Space Weather Prediction Center in Boulder, Colorado.

Fortunately, the storm was not intense enough to interfere strongly with power grids or satellite navigation, but it did trigger dazzling auroras in places like Iceland (pictured).

Such storms highlight the uncertainty in the arrival times of CMEs, which can easily be 15 hours off predictions, Biesecker says. Better modelling of the solar wind, which can accelerate CMEs en route to Earth, could reduce the uncertainty.

I noticed alot of power flickers on Monday. They might have been caused by this.
