Altering Earthquakes:
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? EOZT
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. EOZT
Please collect earthquake-reports here. Significant Quakes or Magnitude 7+ can be posted separately.

"the fact that it shook entire north India was worrying"!
https://www.rt.com/news/376633-pakistan-quake-turbat-coast/
The quake, which was originally registered as magnitude 6.6, hit 23 kilometers southwest of the city of Pasni at a depth of 10 kilometers. The cities of Turbat and Gwadar are also within 90 kilometers from the epicenter of the quake.
No reports of damage or casualties were immediately available in the aftermath of the quake.
The Dawn quoted Commissioner of Makran Division Bashir Bangulzai as saying that no damage or casualties have been discovered upon inspection of the affected area. He noted that relief teams were dispatched to remote villages to make sure the locals are safe.
Authorities in Gwadar also reported their city had suffered no damage as result of the quake, according to Deputy Commissioner Tufail Baloch.
An inspection is under way in Pasni.
The tremors have reportedly caused panic among residents in the Baluchistan province, where the cities and towns most affected by the quake are located. AFP reported that people residing near the quake’s epicenter poured out onto the streets.
Pakistan is situated in a seismically active zone at a juncture of the Indian and the Eurasian tectonic plates that collide in the region, which often leaves its residents the victims of deadly earthquakes.

RUDRAPRAYAG: An earthquake of 5.8 Richter intensity rocked Uttarakhand at 10.33 pm Monday night (Feb. 6), jolting people out of bed and into the streets of the hill state. No loss of life or property had been reported at the time of going to press.
Tremors were felt for 30 seconds in the National Capital Region of the region of Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh and Punjab.
Initial reports suggested that the epicentre of the earthquake was Rudraprayag in Uttarakhand, according to J L Gautam, the operations head at the National
Seismological Bureau, a unit of Ministry of Earth Sciences. The tremors were felt across the quake-vulnerable state, lasting for nearly 30 seconds and sending panic-stricken people out into the streets. ''I was watching TV when the room started shaking and I rushed out with my family,'' said Ajay Chauhan, a resident of Rudraprayag.
An hour after the temblor, authorities in the hill state said they were not sure there was any damage as reports had not been received from the interior of the state. Though an intensity of 5.8 on the Richter scale is considered moderate, the fact that it shook entire north India was worrying, experts said. There was a possibility of aftershocks too.
Rudraprayag is a town in the folds of the Himalayas. Due to the treacherous terrain, it is difficult to ascertain the damage, if any, immediately. ''We are yet to ascertain whether the earthquake has triggered any landslides. It will take some time before we confirm,'' officials told New Indian Express.
Rudraprayag superintendent of police Prahlad Meena told reporters, ''Everything is alright here and there is no information on any major damage as of now. There is also no confirmation about Rudraprayag being the epicentre. So far, there have been no distress calls from anywhere.”
Out of the 13 districts in Uttarakhand, Chamoli and Bageshwar fall in a 100 per cent hyper-sensitive seismic zone. Five other districts including Dehradun, Champawat, Nainital, Uddhamsingh Nagar and Haridwar are 100 percent sensitive zones.
According to a report, sensitivity percentages in Rudrapryag and Pithoragarh are 98.3 and 94.9 respectively. Similarly, it is 96.8 in Tehri and Pauri, 83.3 in Uttarkashi and 81.6 in Almora.

A number of residents of the provinces of Canal Suez three Wednesday evening, their sense of tremor severe ground, while said Abul - Ela Amin, Secretary General of the National Institute for Astronomical and Algiovaezkih Research, that the earthquake lasted for a few seconds, was felt by residents of Cairo and several other provinces.
Aboul-Ela Amin An earthquake measuring 5.3 on the Richter scale, struck the Greek island of Crete, on Wednesday evening, and was felt in the Egyptian capital of Cairo's population, and other provinces.
Secretary-General of the National Institute for Astronomical and Algiovaezkih Research and stressed that "the earthquake occurred in Crete, the Greek island of the Mediterranean, strongly 5.33 on the Richter scale, and about 700 km from Cairo, at 9:50 and his effect on Egypt, other than feeling it."
In Ismailia Ismailia hair residents, particularly residents of the top floors of severe tremor ground tremor and did not result in the occurrence of any casualties or installations.
In Port Said sources maintain operations room said the population of the province felt the earthquake in the room did not record the receipt of any reports of casualties . In the Suez city 's residents felt a violent tremor ground.
Dr. Ahmad Badawi, head of the National Network for Earthquake of the National Institute of Astronomy and Geophysics Research said that an earthquake measuring 5.5 Rechtar comes from the east north of the island of Crete in the Mediterranean Sea was signed exactly nine but ten minutes this evening.
This is an earthquake, is the third felt by residents of Cairo and other provinces, after she was the tenth of Ramadan City, last Saturday evening, the earthquake measuring 4.6 magnitude, occurred near the earthquake witnessed in Egypt on January 5 this strongly 3.66 on the Richter scale site.

WARNING-US West Coast Earthquake Warning as Cascadia Subduction Zon...
An ocean data buoy is alerting to an “event” in the Cascadia Subduction Zone off the west coast of Oregon. This is where a magnitude 9 earthquake hit in 1700.
According to the data buoy, the water column height (depth) fell sharply within minutes off the coast of Oregon, signaling the land beneath the ocean has suddenly “sunk.”
As of 0231:30, the initial water column height is 2738.80 Meters deep (8985.56 feet). Two minutes and thirty seconds later, that same water column height had dropped to 2738.66 Meters deep (8985.10 feet). Where did the four inches of water disappear to? Answer: The earth sunk; and continued to sink for the next several HOURS. As you can see from the second chart above, from 0230 GMT to 0600 GMT, the ocean continued to sink to 2737.7 meters deep (8981.95 feet). The buoy is too far away from shore to be affected by high/low tide, so where did the four feet of ocean water disappear to?
This means a Tectonic Plate in the Ocean named the “Juan de Fuca Plate” has made a sudden, eastward movement and slipped beneath another Tectonic Plate named the “North American Plate.” This type of event is usually followed by a massive upward movement of the North American Plate causing a very severe earthquake.
Here’s a map of the relevant Tectonic Plates:
Mount Hood Volcano Can Be Triggered to Erupt
This type of Tectonic Movement has a direct effect upon the volcanos in the Cascadia Volcanic Chain, in particular, Mount Hood.
When the Juan de Fuca tectonic plate goes beneath the North American plate, it begins to get crushed. The heat from the friction of the two massive plates rubbing together, melts the Juan de Fuca plate into Magma (lava).
Directly next to the Cascadia Subduction Zone is the Mount Hood Volcano. Here’s a graphic to show you the relevant details:
1-23-2017 Multiple earthquakes south of Des Moines at the same time, January 23, might have had something to do with it. Local officials are calling it "a sinkhole."
A portion of the riverbank has collapsed near City Hall in downtown Des Moines.
Pam Cooksey, city engineer, said her department noticed Monday that soil between City Hall, 400 Robert D. Ray Drive., and the Des Moines River had shifted, but it has not determined a cause. Cooksey said it "looked kind of like a sinkhole."
"We’re looking into that right now to figure out what’s going on to get a repair," she said. "We became aware of it today. I assume it started it over the weekend."

ZetaTalk
What happens to rock layers under a diagonal pull, or being pulled apart? As can be seen during recent years, this has resulted in derailing trains, sinkholes suddenly appearing, gas and water main breaks, torn roadways and separating bridges. Despite the effect on man, crawling about on the surface of what they assume to be terra firma, these changes are superficial. When the pulling starts, weak points break and thereafter the plumbing and roadways hold, giving the impression that the pulling has stopped, but this is misleading. The North American continent is giving evidence that its rock layers are separating from each other, and sliding sideways in a diagonal, thus exposing portions of these layers to vent into the air above. If rock is being stressed, then where are the earthquake predictors giving evidence of this, the frantic animals, the static on the radio, the earthquake swarms? Rock in the stretch zone, pulling apart rather than compressing, does not emit the particles flows that animals and radios sense, nor register on instruments are tension and release quakes.

Earthquake, endless nightmare: strong shocks in bursts to Italian Centre, afraid to Rome and blocked trains. Despair Apennines: "we have done wrong?"
January 18, 2017
Earthquake, the morning of severe shock to the Italian Center: new collapse, is another disaster. The desperation of Mayors: "we have done wrong?". All live updates
After the strong quake of magnitude 5.3 10:25 this morning with its epicenter in the area of Campotosto and Montereale (L'Aquila), 11:14 hath been a new and even stronger quake with a magnitude of 5.4. This morning's earthquake and nell'aquilano 'was generated by the same fault system that has' activated on August 24. And 'what emerges from the first analyzes of the experts working in the seismic area National Institute of Geophysics Volcanology (INGV). "And 'the same fault system activated on August 24, but to generate today's Earthquake and' a different segment," ANSA said the seismologist Paola Montone, INGV.
In Rome he closed the a and b of the metro lines, and evacuated many schools.
Meanwhile Apennines there is despair. "I do not know if we have done something wrong, I wonder since yesterday, a meter and a half to two meters of snow and now even the Earthquake. What can I say? I do not pa role ".
