Cateclysme op komst in de VS !?

quote:

The quake, which measured 3.9 on the Richter scale, was centred 20km northeast of Seddon, which lies 23km southeast of Blenheim, at a depth of 25km.

The area has been subject to an earthquake "swarm" in recent weeks, with several minor quakes reported.

Earthquakes, floods and other natural disasters could kill millions in the world's teeming "mega-cities" and time is running out to prevent such a catastrophe, a UN expert on emergency relief has warned.

Every year on 1 September, thousands of people in Tokyo practice disaster drills and the government is working on a manual containing evacuation guidelines. But some people are not convinced it is safe. Yoshio Kushida, a scientist who grew up in Tokyo said: "It's the most dangerous city in the world. There is just no way I would live there."

Santiago (Chile): A strong earthquake rocked northern Chile and parts of Bolivia, sending residents fleeing out of buildings and temporarily knocking out telephones and electricity, authorities reported. There were no immediate reports of deaths or injuries.

The earthquake had its epicentre in the Andes mountains near the border between the two countries, striking at 4.26 pm yesterday (0056 IST today)

The US Geological Survey measured the quake at a magnitude of 6.9, while the University of Chile's Seismological Institute put it at magnitude 6.8.

On a day that Americans strangely refer to as ‘Black Friday’, and which is a day that sees their descent into an orgy of consumption, spending money they do not even possess, Russian Scientists have issued one of their strongest warnings, and repeating earlier ones, that the fracturing of the North American Plate has accelerated in these past weeks, and leading to yet another violent volcanic eruption on the periphery on the Continent, and as we can read as reported by the Reuters News Service in their article titled "Colombia's Galeras volcano erupts"

Occurring almost simultaneously to this volcanic eruption in Colombia was an antipode (a direct or diametrical opposite) counterpart in the Indian Ocean, and as we can read as reported by the Reuters News Service in their article titled "Comoros volcano spews ash over capital

Not just to the increasing frequency of these earthquakes upon the North American Plate, but also to the ‘Boom’ noises being reported that are accompanying them are most significant according to these reports as these ‘booms’ are the indicators of earthquakes of massive plate fracturing, and not associated with normal earthquake movements.

The satellite trucks and news reporters have long gone. The crowds of tourists have thinned. No plumes of steam and ash have risen above Mount St. Helens for nine months.

Daniel Dzurisin, a volcanologist at the United States Geological Survey's Cascades Volcano Observatory in Vancouver, Wash., said that people often asked him when St. Helens would erupt again.

"When I tell them it's erupting today, they're surprised," Dr. Dzurisin said

A new analysis based on last year's Indian Ocean tsunami suggests a similar earthquake off the Pacific Northwest could generate waves up to three times bigger than the current worst-case scenario.

Washington's evacuation plans assume a maximum wave height of 30 feet, but a computer model at the University of Rhode Island predicts waves of 65 to 98 feet in places along the Washington and Oregon coasts.

For a Discovery Channel program, Grilli used his findings in Sumatra and a state-of-the-art computer model to simulate a magnitude-9.2 earthquake on the Cascadia subduction zone. In his scenario, the entire fault ruptures, with displacements of about 60 feet.

BREWSTER, Mass. - More than two dozen whales and dolphins became stranded on the shores of Cape Cod Bay last week, and experts say the snowstorm may have contributed to their deaths.

The number of seismic tremors precursor to massive earthquakes is increasing exponentially as the world moves towards 2012.

At least 136 tremors were recorded all over the world by seismologists between December 9 and 16 and these shocks were concentrated all along plate boundaries and majority of them along the Pacific and Indian ones.

Compared to earlier years, the earth is showing a pattern not experienced by humans although such unusual phenomena is not uncommon to the planet, Prof Chandrasekharam, Earth Science department of IIT here said while explaining the earthquake record for the period.

"This apparently shows the dynamic changes that the earth is undergoing internally. A large amount of scientific data is pouring-in with respect to such changes taking place within the earth," he said.

One of the most interesting phenomena noticed recently, is the shifting of the present magnetic pole of the earth towards Russia. A major shift of the pole is recorded by palaeomagnetist Joseph Stoner from Oregon State University, who announced it last week.

LONDON, Jan 4 (Reuters) - The dollar fell half a percent to two-month lows against the euro and three-week lows against the Swiss franc on Wednesday, after reports of an earthquake in the Gulf of California followed talk of an end to U.S. rate rises.

A magnitude 6.7 earthquake hit the Gulf of California off the Mexican coast on Wednesday, the U.S. Geological Survey website said, although it added there were no reports of damage.

The dollar fell in a knee-jerk reaction to early reports suggesting the earthquake had hit California.
