EARTHQUAKES Worldwide! (Frequently Updated)

As of late, I have observed that USGS and EMSC are a bit lax on their reports of earthquakes. Sometimes not seeing anything reported for hours from the last update, or seeing periods of 90-200 minutes with no earthquakes in between. My question is, are they leaving swarms of earthquakes out of their reports, or there are actually periods of no earthquakes?

SOZT: Greater than 90% of the earthquake activity is being altered by the USGS at present, which is under orders to prevent any clue being given to the public about the Earth changes caused by the presence of Planet X. Over a decade ago, the approach was to de-sensitize the live seismographs periodically, so the displays do not turn black worldwide, and to ignore the twice-a-day patterns showing up on these seismographs. Then any quakes that could be dropped were dropped. This was obvious to some who were watching the database manipulation. Quakes in the list would suddenly disappear. This was particularly the case where a quake happened in a remote location, or out in the ocean. Dumbing down the magnitude quickly followed, but in order to ensure the public did not notice, the USGS took control of all websites reporting quake statistics. At times, this control breaks, and discrepancies are reported to the public. Some countries rebel. Quake swarms are another source of control, as they pepper the databases with many quakes and skew the statistics, and thus are pulled from the database. Else the question is raised, why so many?

Will the USGS internet system be a reliable warning system for the European tsunami by registering on the net the New Madrid earthquake on the exact time it occurs?

SOZT: It will not be a lack of information from the USGS that will be the point of confusion during the earthquakes leading up to the New Madrid adjustment, it will be knowing which quake is the big one vs the many minor quakes preceding it. The USGS downgrades almost all earthquakes, to prevent meaningful statistics from being generated from their databases. They also exclude quakes whenever they can, but this is unlikely to happen in the New Madrid area as it is in the center of a populated land mass. Thus you will have magnitude 6 quakes that will be called a 5.2, magnitude 7 quakes called a 6.1, and when a magnitude 8 or greater quake occurs, it will be called a 6.9.

We would advise that rather than watching the USGS quake statistics, that you watch the Earth changes. The adjustment that will incite the European tsunami will involve bridges on the Mississippi breaking, and being impassable. The land to the west of the Mississippi will drop so that the Mississippi will become 50 miles wide in the state of Mississippi. Watch for this. The New Madrid adjustment will be several large quakes of magnitude 8-9, though will be listed as a lesser magnitude. As the N American continent continues to unzip up to and along the Seaway, the quakes will be less than a magnitude 8 but very destructive to Cleveland and Toledo and Buffalo and the inland locks along the Seaway. Thus it is not what the USGS says that should be watched, but the condition of the bridges on the Mississippi, the impact on the cities along the Seaway, and whether the inland locks are reported as inoperable.

5.1-magnitude earthquake shakes northeast Montenegro

Source: Xinhua| 2018-01-05 04:06:02

BELGRADE, Jan. 4 (Xinhua) -- A moderate earthquake struck Montenegro on Thursday around noon with an epicenter in the area of the town of Plav in northeast of the country, local media reported.

The quake forced around 10 families to relocate from their homes.

According to the Institute for Hydrometeorology and Seismology, the earthquake of 5.1 magnitude on the Richter scale had a depth of 14 km. It caused damage to roofs, older houses as well as chimneys, causing a landslide on a local road.

"So far, there is no information about human casualties caused by the earthquake," the interior ministry stated.

According to Montenegrin public broadcaster RTCG, inhabitants of the areas struck by the quake said that they have never witnessed such a powerful one.

Montenegrin Prime Minister Dusko Markovic told authorities to increase help to affected citizens. The government would also help repair damage in the municipalities of Plav, Gusinje, Andrijevica and Berane.

Seismic activity confirmed, consistent with reported earthquake damage in Alberta Beach

WATCH ABOVE: Residents of Alberta Beach were woken up early Tuesday morning to hills, cracks and buckled property. As Sarah Kraus reports, officials haven't confirmed a cause.

The group that monitors earthquakes in Alberta has confirmed two seismic events occurred just before midnight on Monday and says they may be connected to ground shifting in Alberta Beach.

Multiple residents on the south side of Lac Ste. Anne, Alta. were woken up Monday night by what sounded like something falling onto their houses.

“I heard a loud crashing and a load groaning. First we thought someone broke in and then we thought ice must’ve just fallen off the roof,” Karson Smith said on Tuesday. When his family couldn’t find the source of the noise, they went back to bed.

But the next morning, the Smiths discovered a large amount of damage in and around their Alberta Beach cabin.

“I tried to open the back door to check outside and I couldn’t open the door to get to the lakefront,” said Sharon Smith. “Then I looked at the wall and there was a gigantic crack.”

The crack runs the length of the wall, and up onto the ceiling.

When the family went outside, they discovered much larger cracks in the ground, one large enough to put an entire arm into.

“It’s been cracking and splitting and heaving all day long. So I followed the crack and the crack went all the way along the lake,” Sharon said.

The Alberta Energy Regulator (AER) oversees seismic activity in the province. The AER’s Geological Survey branch confirmed that two seismic events of approximately 2.0 magnitude each occurred at approximately 11:45 p.m. on Monday.

A crack emerged in Alberta Beach after seismic activity was reported Monday, Jan. 1, 2018.
Global News

Foundations altered in Alberta Beach after seismic activity was reported Monday, Jan. 1, 2018.

“We are unable to confirm the exact location of both events due to their low magnitude and the sparsity of nearby seismic stations. However, initial information shows that both events are consistent with reports of an earthquake near the town of Alberta Beach,” AER spokesperson Jordan Fitzgerald said.

“The small magnitude of these events makes it difficult to say definitively what type of seismic event occurred. However, our staff believe the seismic event may have been a natural earthquake or an ice quake. Ice quakes are naturally occurring and happen when cold winter temperatures cause groundwater to freeze quickly, causing the ground in the area to suddenly crack and make popping sounds.”

Sharon was happy to have an explanation for the damage to her property, even though it surprised her.

“This is Alberta, I never thought there would be an earthquake here. All the people around the lake, when they were coming and talking about all the different damages and what they heard — and everybody being awake in the middle of the night — thought that maybe it was just the ice buckling.”

There’s also an opening visible on the lake and a one-metre-tall hill of dirt that formed on their neighbour’s normally flat yard overnight.

The Smiths’ other neighbour’s foundation buckled, and their brand new deck had shifted off its supports.

A door to one cabin was stuck because the foundation had shifted so much, residents couldn’t get inside.

The Smiths quickly notified the natural gas company, worried their pipes might be at risk. At around 6 p.m. two of the family’s gas lines were capped because there was significant tension on them due to the shifting

Creaking noises continued to emanate from residences on Tuesday evening.

According to the AER’s map of seismic events in Alberta, this marks the first time any activity has happened in the vicinity of Alberta Beach since 2008 and 2009, when two earthquakes were noted near Barrhead.

Alberta Beach is roughly 70 kilometres west of Edmonton.
