Live feed Spectrograph Seismic Monitor

[Maverick]

When someone try's to convince you that earthquakes are on the rise or we are have more than usual just call it BS, the spectrograph will show earthquakes are a normal thing happening every second of every day, some we don't feel, some we do. The live feed on youtube was set up by a gentleman Scott Todd.

On a side note, all the talk regarding Yellow stone is just that, talk. Don't trust the internet or news sources if news come out regarding activity surrounding Yellowstone unless YVO is the source of the information, if it's not from YVO take it with a grain of salt! As you can see on this spectrograph Yellowstone is always moving and always had been!

Live Feed

You know everyone wants to think the worst and jump to conclusions even though it is normal pattern

Feed was down, back up and running.

People really do seem to want bad things to happen. I'm not sure if the news media created this or is just feeding it to us to quench our appetite for it.
As far as Yellowstone goes, yes it will blow one day again. Would I still love to visit and see it though, of course! Would I buy land next to it to live on, probably not.....

USGS
"500,000 detectable earthquakes in the world each year. 100,000 of those can be felt, and 100 of them cause damage."

That is average, some years down some up so it almost becomes laughable when a news source claims increased activity because one year may have 5000 more quakes than the previous year but still within the norm even if the numbers were up another 100,000 still were within the norm. ow YVO explained it to my Wife, Yellowstone is not an exploding volcano, it still can put a lot of far reaching crap in the air but won't explode taking out States killing 1000s of people hundreds of miles around.

Yeah, Jellystone is about THE most unlikely region to have a major eruption. It is constantly relieving it's pressure by small movements little shakers. Maybe some day.....maybe.

What you should worry about is the New Madrid fault.

I've experiences two earthquakes.
Neither was much of anything but were absolutely noticeable.
One decades ago in Ohio.
Buildings swayed slightly, some very minor damage.
One in N.Carolina.
The water in the toilets sloshed a bit and the ground moved a bit.
Both caused a bit of "hold your breath what was that!"
Then I knew quickly it was an earthquake of minor proportions.
Probably 5.5 on the magnitude scale.
I would not want to experience anything greater.

There's no question that there will be a large devastating quake somewhere in the world. But so far nobody can reliably predict where, when, or how big the quake will be. When I lived in Alaska we had lots of quakes and I prepped for them. Now it's not much of a concern to me.

Shows how much I know....I thought you were still up there.

My wife is still in Alaska and we keep a couple places there, but we bought a ranch in the lower 48 years ago as our BOL. I'm just trying to build all the infrastructure before she moves down for good.

dutchsinse and suspicious observers uses pseudoscience and is considered bullshit by the USGS

 

[Rob Painless]

I don't know dutchsinse. The USGS calls it pseudoscience because some of it goes contrary to govt. thinking and the 'party line' of much of academia. John Coleman, founder of The Weather Channel and highly respected scientist, does not consider it B.S. I met him and he is very impressed by Ben Davidson's work.

John Coleman is a CBM not a scientist, given that we are pitting a broadcast meteorologist against a seismologist who's specific field is the ground below our feet. Ben Davidson is neither a meteorologist nor a seismologist, Ben Davidson is using the USGS feeds to form his own conclusion without scientific evidence then trying to get money online to keep his prediction center running and expanding, kindly hard to justify when science isn't used. One wouldn't be having a seismologist challenge the prediction of meteorological events. This is no different than the courts taking the place of science as it did in Italy when it found 7 or 8 top seismologist guilty of not predicting an earthquake killing many many people several years ago. USGS doesn't tow party line in fact they are constantly challenging the bureaucracy, like the entire seismic community (world wide) a consensuses is formed using published papers (not modeling) the world body of seismic scientist, seismologist aren't split in it's scientific understanding of seismic events like meteorologist are in weather events. Meteorologist rely more on modeling whereas seismologist uses hard facts like volcanologist in it's readings coming in from the in-ground sensors. Right now seismologist testing an array of early warning system that can give up too 20 seconds of warning of an impending earthquake and very limited at that by using P-waves.

Ok. But on the other hand, results speak for themselves and his results (so far) are pretty good. Are the seismologists having pretty good results with their predictions? BTW....20 seconds is not very helpful with regards to a warning time. Not trying to take away from what they are doing but that's not enough time to react. Still don't know why the USGS is so opposed to his work or threatened by it. This is one of those kind of things that everyone should be glad with if it works but I know that's not the way it works in the 'scientific' community. His method is not perfect, neither is theirs'. but it gives some warning a LOT longer than 20 seconds. And, Mav, I hope you know I'm not trying to push your buttons, I know you've 'got a dog in this fight'. Cheers.

And he does this without taxpayers money? Can't be all bad then.

20sec would give someone time enough to take cover in a home or office or pull over, elevators can be programed to stop at the next floor allowing folks to exit when the alert is activated, they (emergency planners) estimate 45% of EQ injuries can be reduced in a 20sec warning, the house in town I was able to kill the power to the house, turn the gas off and be out in the yard in 20sec. I would like for more time but it's early in the technology though going in the right direction.

Oh I know you're not pushing my buttons Who knows, maybe the scientific community would come around and help Ben Davidson project, they done it before in bringing folks into the fold.

 

[Maverick]

What you should worry about is the New Madrid fault.

USGS reporting 9 people felt it
M 2.8 - 3km S of Blaine, Tennessee (326 miles east of the New Madrid)
Time 2017-07-17 12:44:57 (UTC)
Location 36.126°N 83.703°W
Depth 9.9 km

The New Madrid would be devastating especially in this age of old structures and high rises not counting major shipping hub for the entire US and most of Europe.

 

[jeager]

That looks really shaky.
(pun alert!) (sorry)
