Mega Earthquake Location New Madrid Fault? March 22, 2012?

I cannot guarantee that this information is more than fear-mongering or paranoid delusion, but I can say that there is an uptick in the number of earthquakes and the size of earthquakes.  Because of this and because of previous patterns of mega-earthquakes, I can say that you must be alert for any possible sign that the next megaquake is on the horizon.  Prepare and watch.  If no earthquake happens, you are prepared for when one does happen.  Emergency preparedness needs to be practiced for all kinds of emergencies anyway.  Read and be warned or entertained:)

Frightening Volcanic Venting Signals Coming Midwest Megaquake
Posted by truther on March 13, 2012

A U.S. Midwest Megaquake: many say ‘It can’t happen here.’ But it can, and it will. It’s happened many times in the past and the odds are increasing that it’s about to happen again soon—much sooner than most people think. The last New Madrid Megaquake caused the Mississippi River to run backward, destroyed whole towns and villages in seconds, and killed an unknown number of people. And that was when most of the Midwest was sparsely populated. The next Megaquake would affect up to 160 million people, severely damage or destroy most of the supporting infrastructure, topple one or more major cities, potentially kill tens of thousands, and make a million or more homeless within a matter of mere minutes.

Now, ominous evidence points to an imminent Megaquake: volcanic venting, spewing acrid plumes miles high into the atmosphere, has been observed and photographed. Worse, the many ancient Midwestern volcanoes are re-activating—and farther west the grandaddy of Utah’s volcanoes is waking from its long, restless slumber… 

New Madrid Doomsday: Volcanic Venting Detected In Arkansas, Missouri 

Scientists at the United States Geological Survey are probably biting their nails…

The New Madrid fault is giving every indication of an approaching major slip and significant volcanic venting in three states is providing plenty of warning.

A remarkable satellite video of the New Madrid fault region, posted by researcher Michael Janitch, captures multiple plumes from volcanic vents along the fault area. Much of the region is honeycombed with cracks and fractures. 

Two plumes appear, smoke from top one drifts north 

Anyone who’s visited the famous hot springs in Arkansas...knows that the area is volcanically active.While relatively dormant, the pressure is always there. As it builds it creates greater pressure on the subterranean strata. Some of that pressure is relieved by small temblors measuring anywhere from 2.5 to 4.0 in strength.

But the small quakes are not enough to offset the rising pressure and eventually the fault sheers and slips. How much it slips determines how big the earthquake is that accompanies the slippage.And most geologists agree that the next significant shift will be great—so great that a Megaquake will occur that equals or surpasses the historic quake of 1811-12.

ALERT: Dormant volcanoes activating in Utah, Oklahoma, Missouri
Beyond the upsurge in magma and steam venting, disturbing evidence has emerged that indicates three long dormant volcanoes in the Midwest may be returning to life. ...
Janitch has identified the volcanoes and documented their stirrings. One of the most dangerous—and surprising—volcanoes is the one located in southeast Missouri. 

According to Janitch: “…there resides a dormant volcano—not marked on any map…but you can see the county (I have done this already myself)…go look up that county on Google Earth…and look for theonly stand alone mountain in the area…zoom in…and you will see it…clearly an unmarked or unknown dormant volcano…(for sure unnamed).“Yes, there are volcanoes in Missouri, also in Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Utah.
...Adding to the woes the Midwest may soon experience, is the now turbulent sun. It’s known that significantly increased and violent solar storms exacerbate the geomagnetic field. The permutations radiate all the way to the Earth’s core. That in turn increases the rate and intensity of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.

...space experts forecast to be the worst and most violent since 1859.

The hell that a Megaquake could bring to 12 or more states in the Midwest is fully revealed in this article:
Alert: Devastating Megaquake May Destroy Midwest Soon.

The potential amount of death and destruction is beyond most peoples ability to imagine, let alone cope with. Emergency services would be strained beyond their breaking point and the state and federal governments would be impotent for weeks following the event. 

...The New Madrid fault is awakening. It’s not in a very good mood

Do You Think A Mega Earthquake Is Due March 22, 2012?

Things are definitely rockin' and rollin' in the Middle East. This is an area that has not seen this amount of earthquake action in years! Take a look at today's snapshot below from the USGS...

The following YouTube poster has recognized many of the earthquake increases coinciding with dormant volcano steam venting and other volcanic activity. While I don't always agree with everything that he posts, he is a great one to watch regarding earthquake activity increase.

 Uploaded by dutchsinse on Mar 12, 2012 Notice the lower left camera.. and lower right camera.. clearly showing a noticeable earthquake -- then an explosive daytime eruption... which revealed a steam VACUUM PRESSURE BLAST!!!


 The vacuum in the blast was revealed by the steam in the caldera as it was forced up, and then sucked BACK into the caldera -- in less than 1 second ! Really amazing to see this! If you're not into the scoring on this -- the mute button is always an option.. but since this is real time (silent) a few sounds help pass the multiple minutes.

Here are more pieces that may suggest that a mega quake is likely.


Tohoku grim reminder of potential for Pacific Northwest megaquake 
by Staff Writers Reno NV (SPX) 
Feb 22, 2012 
The March 11, 2011 Tohoku earthquake is a grim reminder of the potential for another strong-motion mega-earthquake along the Pacific Northwest coast...


"The Cascadia fault line, which runs from southern Canada all the way to Northern California, could have much stronger ground-motions than those observed in Japan," Anderson, a professor of geophysics, said. ...


...Some models predict that a Cascadia earthquake will not rupture so far under the land, but if it does, the data from the Tohoku earthquake predict stronger ground motions along our west coast than those seen in Japan. 


...  In Cascadia, the last great earthquake occurred on January 26, 1700. 


... "If you live in the Pacific northwest, look at the videos of Tohoku as a reminder to be prepared for an earthquake and tsunami." 


... "There have of course been other mega-earthquakes, but this is by far the best-recorded," he said.

Megaquake predicted for Pacific Northwest
02/20/2012
Feb. 20--VANCOUVER, British Columbia --Ground movements in coastal British Columbia, Washington state and Oregon suggest the Cascade region is ripe for a giant quake similar to the one that struck Japan in March, scientists said Sunday.


Such a quake would almost certainly trigger another Pacific-wide tsunami, they said at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

The most recent megaquake in the region was a magnitude-9.0 temblor southwest of Seattle in 1700, an event deduced from the resulting tsunami that hit Japan.

Another giant quake is possible where two tectonic plates are colliding in the northeastern Pacific, said Kelin Wang of the Geological Survey of Canada. Just offshore, the Juan de Fuca plate is grinding under the North American plate at the Cascadia subduction zone, an area that stretches from Vancouver Island to Northern California.

"It will produce a pretty big tsunami," Wang said in a symposium at the Vancouver Convention Center. "We know that because the tsunami generated by the 1700 event hit Japan and caused pretty large damage, comparable to the damage caused by the 1960 earthquake off Chile. So we know Cascadia is capable of producing a pretty large tsunami."

The clues to the future quake are ground stations equipped with GPS, Wang said. All of the coastal stations east of the Cascadia zone are moving east, being pushed inland as the plates collide. That indicates the fault is stuck and pressure is building, he said.

Eventually the pressure must be released, resulting in "elastic rebound" -- an earthquake.

The magnitude is difficult to forecast, but the same tectonic process was at work in Japan before last year's devastating 9.0-magnitude Tohoku quake hit March 11, he said. Before the quake, all the GPS stations in Japan were moving west, a mirror image of what's happening at Cascadia.

Japanese quake an ominous sign for B.C. 'megaquake'

VANCOUVER — Scientists are still unraveling last year's giant Tohoku earthquake and tsunami in Japan, and some of what they're finding doesn't bode well for B.C. and the Pacific Northwest.

Detailed analyses of the way the Earth warped along the Japanese coast suggest that shaking from a Cascadia megaquake could be stronger than expected along the coasts of Washington, Oregon and British Columbia, researchers reported Sunday at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

"The Cascadia subduction zone can be seen as a mirror image of the Tohoku area," said John Anderson, of the University of Nevada.

Anderson compiled ground-motion data from the Japan quake and overlaid it on a map of the Pacific Northwest, which has a similar fault — called a subduction zone — lying offshore.

In Japan, the biggest jolts occurred underwater. The seafloor was displaced by 150 feet or more in some places, triggering the massive tsunami. But in the Northwest, it's the land that will be rocked hardest — because the Pacific coast here lies so close to the subduction zone.

Massive X-5 Solar Flares Erupt For Two Days Back-To-Back.

We are currently experiencing repeated high-level solar flares.  The following is information that will explain a bit about what is going on.  Of course, not even the high-level scientists can predict when the Sun will send a solar flare from one of it's large holes or from a flinging filament.  Therefore, all I can give at this time is the information as I get it.  Always be prepared for a blackout or to experience the beauty of the Auroras the flares can bring.  As you will see below, there are people seeing the Auroras in states as low in latitude as Wisconsin.  So, an aurora could be coming to the sky near you...

Uploaded by eric1970x on Mar 6, 2012 MAJOR SOLAR FLARE: Earth-orbiting satellites have just detected an X5-class solar flare from big sunspot AR1429. The blast peaked on March 7th at 00:28 UT. Radiation storms and radio blackouts are possible.

http://spaceweather.com/ 2012-03-07 01:03 Strong Solar Eruption; Earth-Directed CME Likely An R3 (Strong) Radio Blackout is now in progress, beginning about 7:00 p.m. EST today. The site of the eruption, previously active Region 1429, is now near center disk, so there's high-potential of an earth-directed CME. In addition, expect the imminent beginning of a Solar Radiation Storm. Analysis now occurring on both fronts, watch here for updates.

The Sun Today regarding the following YouTube video they posted:

Uploaded by thesuntoday on Mar 7, 2012 http://www.thesuntoday.org -

Sunspot group, AR11429 (Active Region), is at it again.

When it first began its journey across the Earthward side of the Sun it released an M-class flare, an X-class flare and several more M flares, along with several CMEs. Early on March 7, 2012 (00:24 UT) it erupted with an X5.4 flare, a coronal wave and a CME. Shortly after that (01:14) it erupted again with an X1.3 flare, another coronal wave and a CME. The CMEs were observed by the Cor2 coronagraph on STEREO Behind. Solar radio bursts also accompanied the flares and proton flux began to rise.

This proton event is probably due to both the flares and the CME produced shocks. Earth's magnetosphere is already disturbed due an early CME from AR11429 and it will probably feel at least a glancing blow from one or both of the recent CMEs in the next few days. We await more data and predictions from the various spacecraft and space weather research teams.

More is sure to come from AR11429. credit: NASA, ESA, NOAA, SDO, SOHO, STEREO, GOES, helioviewer.org, JHelioviewer and virtuallinda.com

Uploaded by dutchsinse on Mar 7, 2012 This makes TWO large X-class solar flares in the past 2 1/2 days -- both earth directed... Solar flares of this size can cause communication disruption, power grid failures, and aurora borealis in places further south than normal. You can see the flare on the SDO site: http://sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov/data/ Also worthy to note.. the SDO/green and SDO/HMI shots..... well... they show the sun THROUGH the supposed fly-by of the "planet"... This means (to me) that IF YOU CAN SEE THROUGH THE DARKNESS , then , ITS NOT A PLANET PASSING IN BETWEEN the sdo and the sun... see the green shot and HMI shot on the SDO from 3/7/2012.

GEOMAGNETIC STORM UPDATE: A CME propelled toward Earth by this morning's X5-class solar flare is expected to reach our planet on March 8th at 0625 UT (+/- 7 hr). Analysts at the Goddard Space Weather Lab, who prepared the CME's forecast track, say the impact could spark a strong-to-severe geomagnetic storm. Sky watchers at all latitudes should be alert for auroras. 

A mild geomagnetic storm is already underway, following a lesser CME impact on March 7th around 0400 UT. Shortly after the cloud arrived, a burst of Northern Lights appeared over the US-Canadian border. Shawn Malone photographed the display from the shores of Lake Superior:
"I was lucky to catch this brilliant outburst of aurora activity that was very active for close to an hour," says Malone, who has also made a time-lapse video of the display. "The aurora had no problem shining through the moonlit skies."

MAJOR SOLAR FLARE (UPDATED): Big sunspot AR1429 has unleashed another major flare. This one is the strongest yet, an X5-class eruption on March 7th at 00:28 UT. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory recorded the extreme UV flash:
This eruption hurled a bright CME into space, shown here in a movie from the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory. Analysts at the Goddard Space Weather Lab estimate that the CME will reach Earth on March 8th at 0625 UT (+/- 7 hr), possibly triggering a strong-to-extreme geomagnetic storm. An animated forecast track shows the progression of the fast-moving cloud.

The flare also accelerated energetic protons toward Earth, triggering an S3-class solar radiation storm, in progress. Such a storm is mainly a nuisance to satellites, causing occasional reboots of onboard computers and adding noise to imaging systems.
