RSOE EDIS Earthquake Report - M5.1 earthquake has been observed in Attu Station, Alaska, United States on 2016-02-09 at 12:12:07. Population: 1046801 Depth: km

itellsya do you have a link to this activity?
http://www.emsc-csem.org/Earthquake/
Interesting Emsc has made no documentation as of 2016-02-09 12:48:22.1

It's from RSOE Facebook feed it was posted about 20 minutes ago so you should find it there.

BUT, they posted an M5 in Portugal yesterday (i posted it here) and when i followed that up, the closest i could find was the same on the Mid Atlantic Ridge - and yet they didn't take the page down - so i'll check this one again in a bit and see if there's an issue there.

Thank you :) for the updates.

Sorry c.a - here's the link. It shows a diffrence of 1 second and .1 in magnitude (if i'm reading it correctly) :

The potential impact of the earthquake Almost everyone feels movement. Sleeping people are awakened. Doors swing open or close. Dishes are broken. Pictures on the wall move. Small objects move or are turned over. Trees might shake. Liquids might spill out of open containers.

http://www.emsc-csem.org/#2 < it looks like this is the site where they're taking the data? Looking at it i can't see the one apparently in Portugal, and i can't see the one in Alaska...


Any ideas I'm not sure how official that EMSC site is - but i haven't looked into it much further.

From National Data Buoy Center a slight off the KAMCHATKA PENINSULA -240NM SE of Kamchatka Peninsula, RU. Assuming this in the last 8 hours
http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/obs.shtml
Make no claims, of expertise here. Just still trying figure it out. No event time, just within 8hour window update and it may be typical.

Anyway it's a good reference to keep an eye on considering the sneaker from the last session in Jan.2016.

I wounder if this was an underwater land slide. And why Emsc did not doc.it as an Earthquake?

Small earthquake reported in Piscataquis County, Maine
http://bangordailynews.com/2016/02/12/news/piscataquis/small-earthquake-reported-in-piscataquis-county/

Feb. 12, 2016 - SANGERVILLE, Maine — A small earthquake has been reported in Maine for the fourth time this month, officials said.

According to the United States Geological Survey, a magnitude-2.2 earthquake was reported around 8:30 a.m. Friday in the Sangerville area.

The USGS said Friday’s earthquake was not related to a swarm of microearthquakes reported in Washington County earlier this month.

One of those earthquakes was measured at 2.9 and the other at 3.3. Early Thursday, an earthquake measuring at 2.5 was reported in Franklin County.

Tremors of 2.5 or less on the earthquake magnitude scale, are “usually not felt but can be recorded by seismograph,” according to UPSeis, an educational site for budding seismologists. Anything registering a 2.5 to 5.4 is “often felt, but only causes minor damage.”

M6.5 - 3km ESE of Andekantor, Indonesia (12/02/2016)

I read in Spanish Sott that the earthquake cut communications between the whole island of Sumba and the rest of Indonesia, so they don't know how badly hit they were!

http://es.sott.net/article/44333-Un-sismo-de-magnitud-6-5-deja-incomunicada-a-una-parte-de-Indonesia

Imagine when that situation becomes much more common and encompassing larger and larger areas.

This is a video that I think the stock shot is new or I never saw it before about the earthquake in Japan. Impressive! It gives you the shivers. :O

I stumbled upon an article in Russian about discovery of the layer with huge amounts of oxygen deep in Earth that contains 8-10 times more oxygen than atmosphere

The destiny of this oxygen remains to the unknown - these oxygen "rivers" can equally how to interact with surrounding breeds and to oxidize them, and to rise in higher layers of a cloak and even above.

I wonder if C's mentioned what kind of gas exactly induces the "opening-up" process?

5.1-magnitude earthquake strikes Oklahoma - USGS

https://www.rt.com/usa/332382-quake-hits-oklahoma-us/

An earthquake measuring 5.1 in magnitude hit the US state of Oklahoma in the Midwest on Saturday, the US Geological Survey (USGS) reported.
The tremor was registered just after 11 am local time (5 pm GMT).

A 3.9-magnitude aftershock was reported 10 minutes later.

The epicenter of the earthquake was located about a mile (1.6 km) beneath the ground some 95 miles (153 km) northwest of Oklahoma City, according to USGS.

There have been no immediate reports of damage or casualties.

The town of Fairview was the closest to the epicenter, which is located 17 miles (28 km) away.

The USGS has described the tremor as “significant.”

I wonder if C's mentioned what kind of gas exactly induces the "opening-up" process?

The most relevant excerpt I could find only mentions "gas" in general:

A: Continental "drift" is caused by the continual though variable, propelling of gases from the interior to the surface, mainly at points of magnetic significance.

Notice that this is the cause of continental "drift" and the subsequent earthquakes. The opening up of the Earth may be due to the Earth slowdown, which deforms the planet making it more spherical and which generates shear stress and friction between the crust and the mantle because the dense mantle take more time than the "light" crust to slow down. Another cause of the opening up may be due to the reduced electric field (binding force) between the Earth's core and its surface making the crust loose.

dutchsinse is saying this happened directly at a fracking operation and that the quakes are rocking from coast to coast and impacting the centre of the country which is vulnerable. :
