Earthquakes, volcanoes and tsunamis

3.9 under Cleethorpes (south side of the Humber, England) at about 22:15 this evening. Spoiled a full 2 mins of the Endeavour repeat for me and Mrs. Ten on the other side of the water. 'Ll be reet.

I now remember that I heard about that one (while drinking) from a colleague who lives where you do (ish). I take it there was no major damage?

The streets of Cleethorpe were choked with rubble and people wandered through the apocalyptic landscape dazed and mumbling.

And then the earthquake came.

...and cleared it up. Hopefully east Hull did well too.

You've seen East'Ull then!

My colleague/friend is from there.

There have been 10,263 earthquakes M1.5 or greater over the last 30 days. This is 50% above normal.

The Mayans were off by 6 years.

7.5 quake hit near Indonesia at 11:00 GMT. Officials released a Tsunami warning and then lifted it, which was a mistake as one followed shortly after hitting Palu.

This may turn out to be a bad one. It looks as though the death toll will be in the thousands.

7.0 near Anchorage. Currently under tsunami warning. Edit: Warning lifted.

This was a 🤬 shaker, and lasted long. We were in a moving vehicle and it shook bad. We still don't have power in our location and that after shocks are pissing me off.

Those flag stands almost got knocked over!

Seriously though, with a magnitude 7 I'm impressed that much of the stuff in the room stayed put.

6.4 magnitude quake in California. I imagine a lot of people are worrying that there could be more to come.

6.4 magnitude quake in California. I imagine a lot of people are worrying that there could be more to come.

7.1 occurred just now. Pools were making waves in Phoenix too.

 

[TJ13]

I know of one person in the Ridgecrest area, after the first one just had broken glass, after this one I have no idea.
There is a 5% probability of an aftershock or foreshock of 7 in the next 7 days.
Updated to now just 3%

"Let’s say, very hypothetically, that NASA came across evidence suggesting The Big One is coming and coming soon. Would they tell the public and most certainly create panic, chaos, and pandemonium?"

I don't recall which day this occurred, or if the day was even me tioned, but my neighbor was saying her daughter in Pleasanton (I think?)--definitely in the northern part of California because the talk was of how far away it was felt--was in the pool when the water started sloshing from end to end, and enough splashed out to make the filler kick on.

 

[Blood Eagle]

I felt both the 6.4 and 7.1 in Ventura, CA which is about 185 miles southwest of Ridgecrest and it was strong. The 7.1 hit and I heard the kids in my complex pool screaming and yes the water was sloshing. I haven't felt something like that since the 1994 Northridge quake which was a 6.7 but much closer to Ventura.

You know, that writer could just look at the NASA Airborne Sciences website to see what that plane was doing:

https://airbornescience.nasa.gov/flight_reports/DC-8_-_AFRC_07_22_19_-_07_23_19

DC-8 successfully transited to Boise, ID for FIREX-AQ campaign on July 22. The aircraft will operate from Boise until August 19 when it will redeploy to Salina, KS. On the transit flight, data on atmospheric composition was collected over Los Angeles Basin and Central Valley in support of the California Air Resources Board (CARB). Next flight is scheduled for July 24 sampling fires in the Boise, ID area. Due to low level flight on hot day, some instruments experienced thermal issues that interrupted or halted data collection.

Since it's in a FIREX configuration, it's most likely collecting information about smoke from wildfires. The plane is in Boise right now and doing a bunch of flights all over the West. It has several missions over the SHEEP fire that's burned 83k acres near Pocatello. We get smoke from these fires in SLC, so they're covered pretty frequently by the weather service.

There is currently a strange lull in statistically expected earthquake activity. Meanwhile, heavyweight scientists mull ominous developments in California.

Extremely worrying earthquakes proceed in California. No fewer than 24 separate faults have earthquaked since July. It is greatly feared that this spike in smaller earthquakes will make the Big One more likely, not less. Of major concern is the aqueduct system that conveys water collected from the Sierra Nevada Mountains and valleys of Northern and Central California to Southern California.

7.7 south of Cuba just now, tsunami warning issued.

 

[TexRex]

Cuba? So the United States definitely has an earthquake machine...

 

[CodeRedR51]

I'm in Casa Grande Arizona, which is pretty much dead center between Phoenix and Tucson. Just felt my apartment building shake and sway a bit from what I was pretty sure was an earthquake. Searched up the USGS website and it just updated with a 5.5 quake in northern Baja California.

 

[Joey D]

That's great, it starts with an earthquake
Birds and snakes, and aeroplanes
And Lenny Bruce is not afraid

We got hit with a 5.7 magnitude earthquake this morning, the strongest quake in Utah since 1992. Power is out in many places, moderate damage, and the airport is closed.
