5.5 Earthquake Gulf of California. Upgraded to 5.9!!!

ow... yap... my bad...

Yes ...

No it's not. It runs along the same plate line, with connected fault lines.

You keep pointing out the obvious, I merely made a point to the poster that thought the quake was in California, that the quake was not in California itself but 600 miles away in Mexico.

There have been swarms of quakes in CA for a few weeks. As stated, these are not aftershocks. Please pay attention to just northeast of San Diego. Many swarms since last week that are gaining in intensity. The entire plate is worrisome now, but watch these swarms.

AGREE - like they are letting out STEAM ON PURPOSE !!!!!

Good Post Thanks

The Salton Sea area is overdue a big one ( which I know is also connected to the Gulf system ).
Danger is around every corner if this zone decides to kick off. There have been bigger quakes in the Gulf of late with no repercussions, but who knows when it will all kick off.

5.0 aftershock....

Magnitude 5.0
Date-Time Tuesday, July 26, 2011 at 19:40:28 UTC
Tuesday, July 26, 2011 at 01:40:28 PM at epicenter

Location 25.051°N, 109.582°W
Depth 12.5 km (7.8 miles)
Region GULF OF CALIFORNIA
Distances 101 km (63 miles) SW (218°) from Los Mochis, Sinaloa, Mexico
104 km (65 miles) SSW (204°) from Ahome, Sinaloa, Mexico

1102 km (685 miles) SE (137°) from Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico


And as the poster upthread pointed out, THIS IS HAPPENING 685 MILES SOUTH OF THE CALIFORNIA BORDER.

WATCH THE ENTIRE COAST NOW. WASHINGTON TO BAJA.
*****BE PREPARED*****

Yep. he brought friends along for the ride.

I guess I should make my point more obvious. What I mean is it doesn't matter if the quake was 600 miles away. I live in So Cal and I have felt vibrations and quakes from Baja California Mexico (being on the same plate line and connected fault lines) so it's not so far fetched that this other poster in So Cal would get "feelings" from todays quake.

and the 4.3 is not an after shock
because the 5.9 was not the main quake

we learn from the Japan 9.0

everyone made the mistake of thinking the 7.2 Japan quake on March 9th was the main quake and the 6.0, 6.2 and the 6.1 were all after shocks
[link to www.emsc-csem.org]

now click back a few pages to see wth led up to the 7.2 that led to the 6's that led to the 9

we see on:
March 6th a 4.7, 5.1 and a 5.0 BONIN ISLANDS, JAPAN REGION, as well as two 4.8
March 7th, a 4.9, 5.0 RYUKYU ISLANDS, JAPAN
March 8th, nothing over 4.5

March 9th 2011, 2 days before the 9.0, we saw in japan
a 7.2 at 02:45 utc [link to www.emsc-csem.org]
then on the same day at 18:16 utc there was a 6.0, a half hour later a 6.2, then a 6.1 2 1/2 hours later
[link to www.emsc-csem.org]
with a bunch of 4.5-5.9 between them all

March 10th we then see a 4.9 OFF EAST COAST OF HONSHU, JAPAN
then a 4.6, 4.8, 5.7, 4.9, 5.4, 5.3, 5.3, 4.7,
with the last quake before the big 9.0 being
2011-03-10 22:44:25.0 38.85 N 143.07 E 30 mb
5.0 OFF EAST COAST OF HONSHU, JAPAN
nothing at all for that region for the next 6hrs then
2011-03-11 05:46:23.0 38.30 N 142.50 E 22 Mw
9.0 NEAR EAST COAST OF HONSHU, JAPAN

my point with throwing all this out there is that we need to stay alert to all these quakes and not assume that just because a quake might look big to us, like a 7.2 and assuming all following quakes being aftershocks
there are still bigger quakes and it all depends on how fragile the crust is in that paticular region

word!!!

Back at ya.

cool stuff!

Be safe, even if this is a safe set of quakes.

look at this :

[link to pasadena.wr.usgs.gov]
click on todays date in different cities, will prove this:

*effects from the mexico quake were registered all the way to the middle of california, maybe further!

the really interesting areas are: ellis, mt.san jacinto, newberry springs(where the "volcano" is), pasadena, pardee,
rancho palos verdes, salton city, and riverside. these places are all moving, shaking today. but usgs ignores these quakes?

I think it's getting awfully close to time to move, though.

list of n. american quakes since july 19th..lots of little ones..especially round puerto rico b4 today's mexico/cali quakes

!!! manually revised by GFZ as 6.0 mag EQ !!!

!!!

what worries me about the gulf area is that they have been having bigger ones in the last few months or longer. 4's, 5's. Some would say this is good because it's releasing pressure. The way i see it is, if there is THAT much pressure going on that multiple 4's and 5's still haven't alleviated it and they still keep happening - there is something bigger brewing....
then again you can't ever make sense of it because quakes like Northridge just come out of the blue, no precursors. you got eye on one area and then another will catch you off guard. grrr

LOL!!! El Q was saying earlier that many of these quakes are produced by man made device and they are trying to relieve the faults, the San Adreas especially, which are causing bigger quakes in other areas of the world.

It means that the Hollywood stars and producers/big bucks, are being protected at the cost of others around the globe.

Swarm of earthquakes rattles Gulf of California

Swarm of earthquakes rattles Gulf of California with strongest recorded as 5.9 magnitude according to USGS with epicentre 86 km (53 miles) SW of Los Mochis, Sinaloa, Mexico at depth of 10.2 km (6.3 miles). Nine earthquakes was above magnitude 5.

The precursor signal for the 5.9 at Gulf of California can be seen as vertical lines at 1500utc. Notice at 1700utc 98Hz to 102Hz resonating signal comes on again and some more vertical precursor signals can be seen at about the same time
