Earthquake rattles Afghanistan (CNN) -- A 6.0-magnitude earthquake shook central Afghanistan early Monday, the U.S. Geological Survey reported. The quake struck at 3:26 a.m. (2256 GMT Sunday). The epicenter was about 70 km (40 miles) south of the capital, Kabul. There were no immediate reports of casualties or serious damage. Earthquakes are relatively common in Afghanistan. Since 2002, Afghanistan has endured at least four major quakes that were fatal, according to the USGS. On March 3, 2002, a 7.4-magnitude quake rattled the Hindu Kush Region, a mountainous area along the border with Pakistan, resulting in 166 fatalities, including 13 in Kabul on the outskirts of the mountains. Just three weeks later, a 6.1-magnitude quake struck the same region, killing about 1,000 people. An earthquake in 2004 killed three, while another quake in 2005 killed five. Link. |

Twice recently, during that wonderful state in between waking and sleeping, I was certain that I was experiencing very strong earthquakes. I tried hard to wake myself up so I could run out of the house if necessary, but I couldn't wake up for a few. . . seconds, minutes, I'm not sure which, and by then the strong shaking had completely stopped. I immediately asked my neighbors and checked on TV and online to see whether it had been real or not / here or not, and that's how I figured out both incidents had been dreams (or something). My intuition informs me that a significant geological shift is about to occur, probably within the next month, but I have no idea where. In December 2004, I dreamed I was trying to escape from two enormous incoming tsunamis. Thirty-six hours later, the quake off Sumatra occurred that triggered the two devastating Indian Ocean tsunamis. I live in Baltimore, about an hour north of Washington, D.C. I hope my earthquake dreams are simply symbolic of the major shifts that are about to occur in the White House -- geopolitical rather than geological shifts! Fortunately, unlike in my tsunami dreams, I saw no damage during my earthquake dreams! (They seemed to be composed entirely of physical sensations, as though my eyes were open in my own room while the dreams occurred.) Maybe it's my thrill about Obama becoming president; my hope that he'll shake out all the stuck energy, and stimulate vitality and faith. |

Hi Sara. Back when Krystal was still posting here she also predicted a tsunami several days before it happened. (I really which we hadn't lost that thread!) Have you ever predicted any other earth related events? Krystal also nailed the resurgence in activity at Mount St. Helens back in October 2004. At the time she said it was a marker for a much larger event that would occur in 4 to 6 "somethings" time. If it were years, then 2009 would be the first year within that deadline.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska – Hardware stores and auto parts shops scored a post-holiday run of business this week as Anchorage-area residents stocked up on protective eyewear and masks ahead of a possible eruption of Mount Redoubt. Monitoring earthquakes underneath the 10,200-foot Redoubt Volcano about 100 miles southwest of Anchorage, scientists from the Alaska Volcano Observatory warned that an eruption was imminent, sending experienced Alaskans shopping for protection against a dusty shower of volcanic ash that could descend on south-central Alaska. "Every time this happens we do get a run on dust masks and goggles," said Phil Robinson, manager of an Alaska Industrial Hardware store in Anchorage. "That's the two main things for eye and respiratory protection." Customer Ron Cowan picked up gear at the store Thursday before heading off to an auto parts store for a spare air filter. "I'm older now and I'm being a little more proactive than I was the last time," Cowan said. When another Alaska volcano, Mount Spurr, blew in 1992, he waited too long. "The shelves were cleared, so I thought I wouldn't wait until the last minute," Cowan said. Unlike earthquakes, volcanoes often give off warning signs that usually give people time to prepare. The observatory, a joint program between the U.S. Geological Survey, the University of Alaska Geophysical Institute and the state Division of Geological and Geophysical Surveys, was formed in response to the 1986 eruption of Mount Augustine. It has a variety of tools to predict eruptions. As magma moves beneath a volcano before an eruption, it often generates earthquakes, swells the surface of a mountain and increases the gases emitted. The observatory samples gases, measures earthquake activity with seismometers and watches for deformities in the landscape. On Nov. 5, geologists noted changed emissions and minor melting near the Redoubt summit and raised the threat level from green to yellow. It jumped to orange — the stage just before eruption — on Sunday in response to a sharp increase in earthquake activity below the volcano. Alaska's volcanoes are not like Hawaii's. "Most of them don't put out the red river of lava," said the observatory's John Power. Instead, they typically explode and shoot ash 30,000 to 50,000 feet high — more than nine miles — into the jet stream. "It's a very abrasive kind of rock fragment," Power said. "It's not the kind of ash that you find at the base of your wood stove." The particulate has jagged edges and has been used as an industrial abrasive. "They use this to polish all kinds of metals," he said. Particulate can injure skin, eyes and breathing passages. The young, the elderly and people with respiratory problems are especially susceptible. Put enough ash under a windshield wiper and it will scratch glass. It's also potentially deadly for anyone flying in a jet. "Think of flying an airliner into a sandblaster," Power said. Redoubt blew on Dec. 15, 1989, and sent ash 150 miles away into the path of a KLM jet carrying 231 passengers. Its four engines flamed out. As the crew tried to restart the engines, "smoke" and a strong odor of sulfur filled the cockpit and cabin, according to a USGS account. The jet dropped more than 2 miles, from 27,900 feet to 13,300 feet, before the crew was able to restart all engines and land the plane safely at Anchorage. The plane required $80 million in repairs. The observatory's first call after an eruption is now to the Federal Aviation Administration. The observatory's data collection has become far more advanced in 19 years, as has the alert system. "Pilots are routinely trained to avoid ash and in what to do if they encounter an ash cloud," Power said. "That kind of thing was not routinely done in the 1980s." The jet stream can carry ash for hundreds of miles. Ash from Kasatochi Volcano in the Aleutians last August blew all the way to Montana and threatened aircraft, Power said. Particulate is mildly corrosive but can be blocked with masks and filters. Power advises Alaskans to prepare as they would for a bad snowstorm: Keep flashlights, batteries and several days' worth of food in the house, limit driving and prepare to hunker down if the worst of an ash cloud hits. Merely going indoors is a defense against ash. The American Red Cross recommends wearing long-sleeved shirts and long pants outside, plus goggles and glasses instead of contact lenses. If no dust mask is available, an effective respiratory filter is a damp cloth over nose and mouth. But potential danger all depends on the wind. Mount Spurr erupted three times in 1992. When it blew that June, only climbers on Mount McKinley — about 150 miles north of Anchorage — were affected, Power said. An August eruption dumped significant ash on Anchorage and a September blow sent ash about 40 miles north of Anchorage to Wasilla. Dust mask customer Elizabeth Keating said Thursday that if the volcano erupts, she expects to stay inside. She bought masks for her school-age grandchildren to carry in their backpacks. "I want to make sure they're carrying these in case they're en route," she said. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090130/ap_on_re_us/alaska_volcano "No matter where we run, the shadow that trots behind us is definitely four-footed."

Earthquake city here in the Pacific NW early this morning! The building squeaked and shook like crazy, nearly spilling my glass of water into my keyboard. It felt like one of those old fashion vibrating beds in a cheap motel. I was sitting at my computer at 5:25 a.m. PST, and the magnitude 4.5 quake hit near Kingston, WA, about 50 miles south of where I live and 20 miles north of Seattle. It was about 36 mi. deep according to the USGS. There have been quite a few swarms in the Seattle region lately. It move sideways as opposed to an up and down movement. Whee! Eschew Obfuscation

Melbourne had a 4.6 tremor last night and I didn't even feel it. I was waiting in my car to pick up my son, and my daughter texted me, saying the whole house just shook. I was literally a 2 minute drive from home. Luckily my girls were not overly frightened.....or worse!

I've felt quite a few quakes here in California over the yrs. Small ones outside in nature feel like being a little dizzy. The biggest one I felt was in late 94 or 95 in Eureka,CA.,,a 7.1 I think it was. At the time I was working on Woodley Island at the Marina. It felt like being on jello,,all quivery. And it shifted the three bridges that link the Island to another and also to Eureka and Arcata. Woodley Island is man made from the huge stones used as ballast for ships. A local merchant made a deal and the stones piled up over the yrs. I was outside(outside kind of job)and heard a rumble..It seemed to and in waves and it appeared to lift the land as it moved through the area. Pavement and foundations cracked but held strong. Likewise in Eureka along with broken windows. Ferndale located south of Eureka had many old victorian houses shift off their foundations during this quake. Still further south several blocks of the town of Fortuna sank a few feet..While nearby beaches had tidepools and rock formations lifted up several feet,,,leaving mussels high and dry....A US geological survey team came out to look but found little to report..,,,,,Locals found the rotting mussles and the USG team came back and documented it.. When I have been inside a building during small quakes. I saw objects move,,hanging plants sway,water sloshing in a glass seconds before it hit. Small being 5.1 or less. And I was never in the hardest hit areas. Happily I now live off the earthquake faults...But they are not that far away..Nearby Redding has frequent small quakes,typically located near the dams. If the dams go then the valley floor will flood. |

Susi, Interesting that you should ask that question... Back about 8 or so years ago my Grandson was doing his science project on Worldwide Earthquakes. He kept track of them for 2 months and did his reporting. Having a somewhat crazy scientist Grandma , I said to him "Lets check out the moon phases regarding them." Lo and behold, the greatest concentration was during the full moon and the lowest frequency during the new moon...both months.

Susi, I need to put a p.s. to that. The greatest number and the strongest ones occurred during the full moon. There were some during the new moon, but they weren't very strong or numerous. I don't think his science teacher was impressed, but she wasn't very good. I told him it was an example of using data to answer questions not expected.

i was just thinking if the moon can affect tides and people, why not teutonic plates? i'm not a scientist nor am i particularly observant, but in watching the iris site, it seems the quakes (during a full moon) are more frequent and seem to be in clusters moving east to west. like, one day they'll be along south america's coast, then the next, in indonesia. just speculating but i think there's something to it. support your local or organic farmers and say no to big/agribusiness. vote with your fork! `

I seem to remember that the big Sumatra quake of Dec. 04 and another large quake in that area a few years later were both during the full moon. There was also a bright flashing object racing across the sky a few hours prior to both quakes which was determined to be a meteor. However I've read that there is a theory involving the tectonic plates which states that the massive amounts of energy released from deep in the earth prior to a big quake may be responsible for the light phenomena which has been seen. |

Forgot to post an earthquake on June 6, 2009 around 3 PM. I was extraordinarily tired all morning and afternoon before it occurred. Slept a lot! It was one explosive bounce, no tremors, no rolling or shaking - just one hit. I thought something had landed on the roof at first. SF East Bay Area. Must hammer the deck nails back down again (just one line of them!). Except for appearances, one does not go from place to place.

Pacific volcano blows top, grounds flights Sarychev Peak, a 1,500-metre volcano in Russia's Kuril Islands, began erupting Friday It belches ash, spews lava and may make you miss your flight to Shanghai. A volcanic island in the north Pacific is causing air travellers consternation as a massive plume of volcanic ash clouds the skies thousands of feet above the volcano, making air travel impossible. Sarychev Peak, a 1,500-metre volcano in Russia's Kuril Islands, began erupting Friday. Several flights along that route have been cancelled or rerouted, including Air Canada's round trips from Vancouver to Shanghai, Seoul and Tokyo. Air Canada spokesman John Reben said flights from Vancouver to Hong Kong and from Toronto to Asian destinations shouldn't be affected. "We're closely monitoring the situation and hope to return to a normal operation as soon as it's safe to do so," he said. "[Until then] airlines who would normally take that routing in that vicinity need to reroute. ... It does happen on occasion that volcanoes erupt and cause disruption to airline operations. For us, it's quite rare." Sarychev Peak is one of the most active volcanoes in that chain. It last erupted in 1989. Steve Brantley, a physical scientist with the U.S. Geological Survey, said he can't speak to this volcano specifically, but volcanic eruptions can last anywhere from days to months to even years, although ash plumes rarely remain in the air for that long. Rather, he said, they're created when explosive activity in the volcano forms a lava dome that breaks apart as it reaches a steep edge of the volcano. As it breaks apart, it creates an ash plume that rises many thousands of feet. According to Geological Survey websites, ash clouds from erupting volcanoes can pose a danger to aircraft up to 2,000 kilometres away. In addition to posing visibility hazards, the ash particles are highly abrasive, and can damage aircraft windscreens, fuselage surfaces, and compressor fan blades. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/british-columbia/pacific-volcano-bl ows-top-grounds-flights/article1183374/ Be the wave....

Sunday earthquake near Sparks, Oklahoma measures 3.4 on Richter scale SPARKS — An earthquake measuring 3.4 on the Richter scale was recorded Sunday near Sparks in Lincoln County. The U.S. Geological Survey reported the quake hit at 3:31 p.m. The epicenter was about two miles northwest of Sparks. Although there are numerous earthquakes in the state annually, fewer than five are felt most years, according to the Oklahoma Geological Survey. Anyone who felt the quake can fill out a report at the Oklahoma Geological Survey's Web site, www.okgeosurvey1.gov, or the U.S. Geological Survey's Web site at earthquake.usgs.gov. Reports can be made anonymously. http://www.tulsaworld.com/news/article.aspx?subjectid=12&articleid=20090615_12_0 _SPARKS168823 Be the wave....
