Third Tsunami Watch Issued Within 24 Hours

Central America is continuing to experience some very large earthquakes.

After my last post merely hours ago, another tsunami watch has gone out – the third in 24 hours.

Latest Quakes

  1. 5.0  Visokoi Island (South Atlantic/Antarctica)
  2. 5.6  Papua New Guinea (Solomon Islands)
  3. 6.6 Nandaime, Nicaragua (on-ground)

Tsunami Watch

Luckily, a tsunami was not generated from this quake, primarily because the 6.6 quake occurred on the land, but high waves will be generated within the Pacific.

With the number of large quakes taking place within such a short time span, Hawaii, the Galapagos, and many Pacific Islands should expect high waves, strong rip currents, and some flooding.

 

 

More Large Quakes Along Pacific Rim Create Tsunami Watches

High waves will reach the Hawaiian Islands and Pacific Islands after the swarm of big quakes along the Pacific Rim.

So many large quakes are occurring rapidly along the Pacific Rim, it is hard to keep them straight. I have recorded the most recent quakes over the last 19 hours, beginning April 10, 2014. They are currently happening, so I will continue to keep the list updated.

Note: earthquake magnitudes are on the rise. We are seeing less 4.0 + magnitude quakes, which are now being replaced with more 5.0+, 6.0+, and 7.0+ quakes. And remember that USGS loves to keep the magnitudes as low as possible, so a 5.9 quake, to me, is a 6.0; a 6.8 quake is really a 7.0, and on and on.

Beginning April 10, 2014

These quakes created a tsunami watch for The Pacific region and Hawaii.

  1. 5.0  Iquique, Chile (offshore)
  2. 5.2  Pacific-Antarctic Ridge (South Pacific Ocean)
  3. 5.1  Ciudad Sandino, Nicaragua (on-ground)
  4. 6.1  Valle San Francisco, Nicaragua (on-ground)
  5. 6.0  Iquique, Chile (offshore)
  6. 5.6  Tonga (South Pacific Ocean)
  7. 5.1  San Antonio, Chile (offshore)

These quakes created another tsunami watch for The Pacific region and Hawaii, 6 hours later.

  1. 7.3  Papua New Guinea (Solomon Islands)
  2. 5.1  SSW Papua New Guinea (Solomon Islands)
  3. 6.8  Papua New Guinea (Solomon Islands)
  4. 5.2  Papua New Guinea (Solomon Islands)
  5. 5.5  Iquique, Chile (offshore)
  6. 5.5  Papua New Guinea (Solomon Islands)

 

Forecasting The What If?

No one wants think about natural disasters destroying life as we know it. Life on Earth is awesome – our planet is filled with so much beauty, magnificence, and miracles.

Most of us choose to think about natural disasters later. The majority of us believe that major Earth events won’t happen in our lifetime, but too few have considered what our children or grandchildren may go through.

Forecasting The End

Here is the link to The Weather Channel’s short clips from their evening series, Forecasting The Future. This is an excellent Cliff’s Note education about what can happen to our planet.

Tips To Shift With Major Events

You can begin NOW making the much needed changes that can save you, your family, and your future loved ones from fear and discomfort.

  1. Get involved with local politics and secure that your community leaders are on their game concerning environmental and future development;
  2. Good local government bleeds into better state governments, which moves up the ladder into federal government;
  3. Spend your money supporting local farmers, shops and venders;
  4. Install alternative energy in your schools, homes, and businesses, and get off the global oil and gas grid;
  5. Bank with credit unions, local and small banks;
  6. Keep cash and small change on hand;
  7. Relocate from coastal areas, and encourage local governments to stop developing along rising shorelines;
  8. Keep stored water and dry foods/dry goods for two weeks of an emergency supply per household for both you and your pets.

Earth changes are nothing to be scared of – they are something to understand better so you can be more prepared.

Prepare for the inevitable, now and for the future, and go back to enjoying a wonderful life on this magnificent planet.
