Re: Magnitude 5.9 - OFF THE COAST OF OREGON
So I don't see a report of an aftershock...


Is that true? Has this big 6.0 EQ not had an aftershock yet??

Wow I thought aftershocks started happening within hours of the EQ

Can they really take almost a day to happen>

Or was this a foreshock...

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 10574572


I've checked my EQ app on my phone and don't see any reported aftershocks, but I do know that it only reports EQ's of mag 3.0 or higher.

But if in fact there has been no reported aftershocks from the 6.0 quake yet than there's a strong possibilty that it was a foreshock to a bigger event, what concerns me is that yesterdays quake was at a very shallow depth as well.

Keep in mind though that the Japan 9.0 mega quake last year happend after a 7.0 quake + many aftershocks 3 days prior (or were thought to be aftershocks anyway) so anything is possible at this point.

One thing I do know is that it's scientific/geological fact that the Cascadia subduction zone follows a 300 year cycle and it was determined that the last major event there happened in the year 1700. It's also been determined that this event was anywhere from 9.0 - 9.7 on todays richter scale so needless to say it's going to be very ugly when this event happens again especially if the entire faultline ruptures from northern california to canada.

We are talking serious doom that will likely dwarf what happened in Japan last year....

Could be another movement from the 6.0 which hasn't had an aftershock....I am calling this a Foreshock to something bigger......lets keep an eye on this one.

I checked again and didn't see any for offshore Oregon in that spot. Maybe I need glasses.

I can't find it (or them) so could you post a link to the individual eq's in that same area off shore since the 6?

Not challenging you. I'm sure you are correct but would just like to see the link(s) to them.

Re: Magnitude 5.9 - OFF THE COAST OF OREGON
There is a "Christian prophet" named John Paul Jackson and he mentioned something... that he saw a catastrophic EQ in 2012 between Seattle and Vancouver and also a volcano becoming active in that area. I never took it truly to heart until i have seen this EQ activity in the past couple of weeks. weird. I stumbled across his videos on youtube just being curious about what said prophets are saying these days. I wonder if I can find the video again. He also has an interesting series called the Perfect Storm.

He also said something about Japan happening again.
 Quoting: RebelleRose


So, is that prediction for an earthquake between Seattle and Vancouver WA or Seattle and Vancouver B.C.? Not that it matters to me since we live close to Seattle, but we have family members and friends near the B.C. one.

these Alaskan quakes happen all the time and might not be your best indicator relating to quake activity on the West Coast.

While there might not be anything to measure against for the Oregon quake, you guys might want to go back and see what kind of aftershocks occurred after the 6.5 Eureka quake of January, 2010 (estimated ~24) to try to get an idea of what's going on with these new quakes (if they're foreshocks or isolated events).

Any idea on how/where to find out what the quakes were and how soon after that EQ? I have no idea how to search for that info. Would be very interested to know how long before the first aftershock.

Okay nvm my above post, the first aftershock happened 20 mins after the 6.5 EQ and then 39 aftershocks followed in the 2 days following the quake.

All between 3 and 4 mags.
