Earthquakes are on the rise in the South Pacific – USGS

Friday, May 22, 2015 saw an uptick in powerful earthquakes and island tsunamis around the Solomon Islands, and they just keep coming.

Large quakes are ramping up worldwide, but another place to watch closely is Nevada, Montana, and the Yellowstone area in the USA.

Solomon Islands

In less than 24 hours, the following 6.0 and above magnitude quakes occurred around the Solomon Islands. These quakes did not generate a tsunami large enough to reach Hawaii, but with this number of recurring, large quakes, local tsunami waves are generating over the island region:

  1. 6.9  May 21, 2015
  2. 6.0  May 22, 2015
  3. 6.9  May 22, 2015
  4. 6.8  May 22, 2015

Nevada, Montana, and the Yellowstone Area

Earthquake activity is picking up around Yellowstone.

This is an area to watch closely. May 22, 2015 quake activity:

Nevada 

  • 24 quakes

Wyoming (Yellowstone National Park)

  • 2 quakes

Montana

  • 6 quakes

Utah

  1. 1 quake

Earthquake activity is increasing all over the world, but these areas are of particular interest at this time. Keep a watch on both of these fault zones. They are not typically this active in such a short time span.

The Ring of Fire along the Pacific Rim is increasing earthquake, tsunami, and volcanic activity.

March 2015 is ending with a bang – the globe is experiencing a wave of volcanoes, large earthquakes, and tsunamis, with most of the activity rocking the Western Pacific Rim and the Antarctic Plate.

Large Quake Waiting At California’s Doorstep

September 26, 2014 by
The Earth with bricks falling around it.

Strange earthquakes every minute are occurring along the western foothills of the Sierras.

We all know that one day, some day, a big – a very big – earthquake is going to strike California. It’s common for small quakes to regularly rattle the state, quakes around 1.0 to 2.0 in magnitude. These small quakes rarely cause structural damage, and serve to release crustal pressure.

The day they stop will be the day we start to worry.

Today, something odd is going on west of the Sierras. It appears that California is now moving – not shifting or shaking, but moving.

Large earthquakes are waiting at California’s doorstep.

6.0 Quakes

On September 24, 2014, a 6.2 magnitude quake rocked San Antonio de los Cobres, Argentina, just east of the Andes in a remote, mountainous location.

The next day on September 25, 2014, two 6.0+ quakes followed; 6.0 magnitude in the Solomon Islands, and 6.2 magnitude quake on-land at Willow, Alaska.

California’s Moving

Beginning September 25, 2014, EMO pulses spiked for a 24-hour period at Yellowstone, and since this began, small quakes have been striking under the foothills west of the Sierra Nevada mountain range in California.

From September 25 until the present time, this area has experienced at least 1 earthquake every minute; over 1,000 quakes in less than 24 hours.

Is time closing in on California? All we can do is wait and see.
