Nice, another Pisces! I am too, as well as many others here in this thread. : )

I'm definitely obsessed with the sky! I love it. I'm in MA and the beach is less than a 5 minute drive from my house. The beach is the perfect spot for sky watching!

4 and 3/4 Years since the real big one in Japan. The next one can hit anywhere and its indeed overdue.

Any of you see the TV show The 100?

I never saw it before and have the 1st episode on Netflix playing now. Seems like a GLP'er type of show.

Arkansas Frackquake Victims Commiserate With Oklahomans As Fracking Wastewater Injection Continues, Risking Deadly Earthquakes

“We are human guinea pigs in a fracking industry experiment,” Angela Spotts, founder of Stop Fracking Payne County and a Stillwater, Oklahoma homeowner, told DeSmog. “Regulators tell us they can get the earthquakes under control as they tinker with the quantity that wastewater wells are allowed to inject into the ground. But despite their efforts, the quakes have continued.”

Matt Skinner, spokesman for the Oklahoma Corporation Commission (OCC), the agency that regulates the state’s oil and gas industry, conceded that, "in a perfect world, shutting down all the wells in ‘the area of concern,’ if done gradually, would be ideal.” But he told DeSmog that is not possible because of “private property rights.”
:sw_funnyconfused:

Emily Lane, a resident of Greenbrier, Arkansas, and co-director of a documentary about earthquakes in Arkansas, described her community as “human guinea pigs,” when it was in the middle of a seismic storm in 2010. In her documentary, “Land of Opportunity,” she and her brother read from transcripts of a permit hearing for a wastewater injection well obtained by a Freedom of Information Act request. At the hearing, Arkansas regulators acknowledged seismic activity could be an outcome of permitting injection wells, but they authorized the permit anyway.

***THEN THERE IS THIS***
It took a 4.7 magnitude earthquake that shook Greenbrier in 2011 to convince regulators to shut down the area’s wells. “Since then, the fracking wastewater has been trucked to Oklahoma. I see trucks that are hauling wastewater heading west on Interstate 40 for the state line all the time,” said DeTurck.

Skinner admits the OCC does not know exactly how much wastewater is coming into Oklahoma from Arkansas and other states. But he doesn’t think it is very much. The agency can’t track how much is delivered to private wells, but can obtain the records of what is received at commercial ones.

Enid News coverage cites Oklahoma Corporation Commission reports that the state receives wastewater from Texas, Kansas, New Mexico, Colorado and Arkansas. Even if the OCC wanted to stop waste coming in from other states, it couldn't, Skinner explained to DeSmog, because of interstate commerce rules. The only thing the agency can do is ask Oklahoma companies to voluntarily comply with directives limiting the volume of the fracking wastewater being injected.

Another 6.0+ quake coming to Gibralter

You too! And thanks for the link above!

It's good so far! I love finding a good show on Netflix. No commercials and no waiting a week for the next episode.

It's kind of dangerous though. I'll get addicted and want to watch EVERY episode back to back until their finished.

Please no...

No earthquakes on the West Coast - Pacific North West coast since the 6.0 hitting the Balleny Islands region.

This is not good.

Hitting around 3-4 hours since that quake. If anything is gonna happen, I am estimating 4:00 - 5:00 pm PT. Maybe 5:00 - 6:00 pm PT for a major earthquake in the PNW.

Not predicting. Only speculating. Because even this speculation is likely worthless.

El Misti is waking up .... yikes!

Yep, that's some potential doom right there.

The equivalent of this would likely be Mt. Fuji erupting in Japan.

Ok it has now hit 5 hours since the quake in Balleny Islands region with zero quakes on the US West Coast...

Whoa... [link to geophysics.eas.gatech.edu]

That doesn't look very big...???
