Natural Disasters

Hello
That’s why we need a pest inspection or pest control for our home. Some pests are just that – pests that do not really cause any harm or danger in or around our homes or yards, but they do pester us and we simply don’t want them around. Other insects, rodent, and wildlife pests can cause significant damage or spread a disease to people or our pets.
Pest control efforts can reduce or eliminate both pesty pests and harmful pests, but it is the second group that is of most concern.

So last week the Space Weather News gave an extensive report on earthquakes predictions around the world. Were they basing this on what you are talking about w/ olwr, or all the other solar/ planetary factors?

most likely, yes….Like I said its only one of the many factors involved.

Dont worry about the over your head stuff…It was mine very much so about 3-4 years ago.

If you have a passion for it, even in passing, I suggest subscribing to Ben Davidson…Highly suggest it actually.

At first EVERYTHING will be over your head and you’ll be like WTF did he just say?…lol…I was too. You’ll get it in time if you even care to.

Watch the daily updates…It’s only about 3-5 min each morning…If something grabs your attention dig a little deeper on it.

Doing this daily you will become an expert…..give it a month and you’ll understand more than about 80% of people out there.

Ben keeps things real without fear factors that most everyone else counts on to drive up their views while also providing you actual links and resources to studies and published papers in the more tab every day unlike almost every other provider out there… Check out his “Sun series” on his homepage. start there. Then watch the daily updates…If you miss one, go back and watch it later…They are very quick.

I guarantee you Ben takes you farther, faster, than anyone out there IMHO. Especially if you dig deeper…I’ve looked.

A monkey can do it.
A 100 IQ will get it eventually.
A 125-160 IQ will master it quickly.

Just for this conversation we’ll refer to me as the monkey.

Seriously though…Check out Suspicious 0bservers….You’ll have lost of fun if it interest you….Then you too can become boring like me.

Earthquake watch for the next 24-36 hours, that must be a good reason for you out on the left coast to watch this channel. Good luck!

….No fear, Eyes open…

lol…Yes, a great prep….. I also have rioting(FAR Left coast ), economic collapse, and earthquakes as my reasons…Just general stuff…NBD.

Not too worried today with the blot echos I’m seeing but this is a fledgling science when it comes to earthquakes….Theory really….but a Theory proven correct more than not in my experience…..Still, its far from perfect.

I’ll go out on a limb here where I normally dont.(I’ve been told not to do this…lol)..Here’s where I’ll loose about 98% of anyone reading this or that I’m talking to calling me loony…lol.
But, They always go from looking at me like , to after I hit it correctly…lol. I dont care regardless so again NBD…This is how science advances… starting with “What do you mean The Earth is round?”

This is a blot echo map of OLR.
This is OLR signatures or “Outgoing Long-wave Radiation”….Just think of it as energy LEAVING the Earth for now to keep it basic.
Signatures can POSSIBLY predict an earthquake along with many other factors….Planetary alignments, Space-weather, Flares, sun-diving comets, Coronal Hole streams, Etc…It all combined forms a picture.

Based on seeing this today and what goings on in the Solar System today I’d say, at a guess, (AND I’M NOT!…lol) That I see the potential of a 6.5 or higher somewhere in the area of Naga, in the Philippines. In that area in general..(12N/128E)……..This is a complete guess, just an educated one…..Most likely it wont hit. I dont see enough other factors contributing today but who knows…We’re still learning.

sooooooo I guess from those charts it could have an impact. I know about x class from books ive read and such. Is M just under that? I know in my neck of the woods they have been having issues in a couple of towns the last 6 weeks or so with cell and 911 services going out for as much as six hours. If it hits us directly I would think that there would be some impact to satellites and cell phones right? I really need to read more about the impacts the different levels have on our systems.

USGS just sent me this alert…We’ve seen this before but a change in monitor status is something to just watch…no worries yet.

YELLOWSTONE VOLCANO OBSERVATORY INFORMATION STATEMENT
U.S. Geological Survey
Monday, June 19, 2017, 3:09 PM MDT (Monday, June 19, 2017, 21:09 UTC)

YELLOWSTONE VOLCANO (VNUM #325010)
44°25’48” N 110°40’12” W, Summit Elevation 9203 ft (2805 m)
Current Volcano Alert Level: NORMAL
Current Aviation Color Code: GREEN

The University of Utah, a YVO member agency, sent out the following update about the ongoing earthquake swarm north of West Yellowstone.

The University of Utah Seismograph Stations (UUSS) is monitoring an earthquake swarm which is currently active on the western edge of Yellowstone National Park. The swarm began on June 12th, 2017 and, as of 13:30 MDT on June 19th, 2017, is composed of 464 events with the largest magnitude of ML 4.4 (MW 4.4) (Figure 1). The swarm consists of one earthquake in the magnitude 4 range, 5 earthquakes in the magnitude 3 range, 57 earthquakes in the magnitude 2 range, 238 earthquakes in the magnitude 1 range, 157 earthquakes in the magnitude 0 range, and 6 earthquakes with magnitudes of less than zero. These events have depths from ~0.0 km to ~14.5 km, relative to sea level. At the time of this report, there were 115 felt reports for the M4.4 event that occurred on June 16, 2017 at 00:48:46.94 UTC (June 15, 2017 at 18:48:46.94 MDT). The M4.4 event has an oblique strike-slip moment tensor solution (Figures 1 & 2).

Earthquake swarms are common in Yellowstone and, on average, comprise about 50% of the total seismicity in the Yellowstone region.

Related figures can be viewed on the original post: http://quake.utah.edu/research/special- … owstone-mt

This is the highest number of earthquakes at Yellowstone within a single week in the past five years, but is fewer than weekly counts during similar earthquakes swarms in 2002, 2004, 2008 and 2010.

The Yellowstone Volcano Observatory (YVO) provides long-term monitoring of volcanic and earthquake activity in the Yellowstone National Park region. Yellowstone is the site of the largest and most diverse collection of natural thermal features in the world and the first National Park. YVO is one of the five USGS Volcano Observatories that monitor volcanoes within the United States for science and public safety.

MAMMOTH HOT SPRINGS, Wyo. (AP) — A swarm of earthquakes in the northwestern part of Yellowstone National Park this week continued into Friday and was punctuated with a magnitude 4.4 quake Thursday evening.

The U.S. Geological Survey says the quake occurred at 6:48 p.m., in a backcountry area of Yellowstone National Park, about 8 miles (12.8 kilometers) northeast of West Yellowstone, Montana. The swarm of about 30 earthquakes of magnitude 2 and larger began Monday.

The West Yellowstone Police Department says the earthquake was felt in the town that borders the park, but there were no reports of damage.

http://www.seattletimes.com/nation-worl … ake-swarm/

The small earthquake that struck Yellowstone National Park on Thursday night was part of a swarm that has been hitting the area since Monday, scientists say.

The quake was centered near West Yellowstone, but was also felt by people in Gardiner and Bozeman.

“As of 10 a.m. this morning we had located a total of 235 earthquakes in the area,” said Jamie Farrell, University of Utah research professor of seismology.

Yellowstone gets about 1,500 to 2,000 earthquakes every year. About half of those come in earthquake swarms — lots of earthquakes in a small area in a short amount of time.

So this activity is fairly normal, Farrell said.

Most of the earthquakes in this swarm have been small — only four above magnitude 3. Thursday’s 4.5 magnitude earthquake was the only one reported to the U.S. Geological Survey website, meaning people actually felt it.

Not only was Thursday’s quake the largest in the current swarm, it was the largest in the area since March 30, 2014, when a 4.8 magnitude earthquake hit near Norris Geyser Basin, according to a news release from the University of Utah Seismograph Station.

Farrell said the swarm is the effect of normal tectonic stress in the Earth’s crust. As of Friday morning, his the University of Utah seismologists weren’t seeing anything volcanic in nature. Yellowstone National Park is home to a large volcano and the site of the largest and most diverse collection of natural thermal features in the world.

It’s impossible to predict when this current earthquake storm will end.

“These things could turn off in a heartbeat, or could last for months. Most go for a week or two,” Farrell said.

Farrell urges people to report any activity they feel to the USGS’s “Did you feel it” website, which help scientists record and understand shaking. People can also watch earthquake activity live at www.quake.utah.edu.

http://www.bozemandailychronicle.com/ne … e3f5f.html

I know that earthquakes are common around Yellowstone. However, this caught my eye & I thought I’d post. It’s a bit unusual for swarms to be news worthy since they are a common thing in the area.

Most of the earthquakes in this swarm have been small — only four above magnitude 3. Thursday’s 4.5 magnitude earthquake was the only one reported to the U.S. Geological Survey website, meaning people actually felt it.

Not only was Thursday’s quake the largest in the current swarm, it was the largest in the area since March 30, 2014, when a 4.8 magnitude earthquake hit near Norris Geyser Basin, according to a news release from the University of Utah Seismograph Station.

Farrell said the swarm is the effect of normal tectonic stress in the Earth’s crust. As of Friday morning, his the University of Utah seismologists weren’t seeing anything volcanic in nature. Yellowstone National Park is home to a large volcano and the site of the largest and most diverse collection of natural thermal features in the world.

It’s impossible to predict when this current earthquake storm will end.

“These things could turn off in a heartbeat, or could last for months. Most go for a week or two,” Farrell said.

Farrell urges people to report any activity they feel to the USGS’s “Did you feel it” website, which help scientists record and understand shaking. People can also watch earthquake activity live at www.quake.utah.edu.

I know that earthquakes are common around Yellowstone. However, this caught my eye & I thought I’d post. It’s a bit unusual for swarms to be news worthy since they are a common thing in the area.

How close to your neck does a horse shoe need to be before it makes an impression on your head. (snicker) Sorry guys but even a miss is still too close for this Ol’ man. Fair warned is enough for me, a crazy guy throwing hand grenades is no match for a irate old farm woman throwing a rolling pin.
