The critical planetary alignments Mercury, Mars, Jupiter & Mercury, Sun, Jupiter occurred with the earthquake in Argentina (M5.7) and seismic activity in the Molucca Sea respectively.


No M7+ or higher seismic event has occurred to date as forecast. On October 22 we will have the last planetary geometry predicted for the period October 10 to 22 involving Mercury, Sun and Mars.

Earthquake forecast updated 21 October 2024, 17:37 UTC by SSGEOS​

A lunar conjunction with Jupiter on 21 October can result in a strong earthquake on 22-23 October.​

According to SSGEOS there is a 60% probability of an earthquake up to M6.4 and a 50% probability for an earthquake greater than M6.5 but less than M7.0.
​

In the past 24 hours, there were 812 quakes of magnitudes up to 5.7:

• 6 quakes above magnitude 5
• 28 quakes between magnitude 4 and 5
• 83 quakes between magnitude 3 and 4
• 178 quakes between magnitude 2 and 3
• 517 quakes below magnitude 2 that people normally don't feel.

Explosions in Lebanon prompt false earthquake alerts in northern Israel​

Shortly after IAF jets return from Iran, residents all over the north receive a series of alerts on their phones, warning of an impending earthquake; IDF Spokesperson clarifies it was brought on by a series of controlled explosions in southern Lebanon

In the early hours of Saturday, shortly after a sequence of strikes in Iran by the Israeli Air Force, an unusual flurry of earthquake warnings jolted residents across dozens of locales in the Golan Heights, Haifa, and surrounding communities. People recounted receiving urgent messages on their mobile devices, with some in Haifa noting alerts instructing them to reach safety within a mere minute.

As has been observed on other occasions, M5+ clusters precede major events. According to the latest SSGEOS forecast there is a 60% probability for a low M6+ event while for an M7+ event it is 50%.

This last seismic cluster occurred after the Venus, Mercury, Earth planetary geometry on November 5.

​

In the past 24 hours, there were 797 quakes of magnitudes up to 5.5:

• 7 quakes above magnitude 5
• 27 quakes between magnitude 4 and 5

The city of Vancouver published a report on its earthquake preparedness. It's not prepared at all. I wonder how many cities are actually properly prepared for a 7.0+? Also has me wondering what cities would look like if the cycles of cosmic catastrophes were actually taken into account!

Billions in damage, thousands of injuries: Report maps out Vancouver earthquake risks - BC | Globalnews.ca

The report found a magnitude 7.2 quake could damage more than 6,100 buildings, displace a third of residents and workers and cause up to $17 billion in damage.

globalnews.ca

A staff report headed to Vancouver city council next week has provided a snapshot of just how devastating a large earthquake could be to the city.

The report looks at seismic risks to privately-owned buildings in the city in the case of a large, magnitude 7.2 earthquake.

It found that a quake of that magnitude could damage more than 6,100 buildings, displace a third of residents and workers and cause up to $17 billion in damage.

A severe earthquake could also cause 1,350 severe injuries and fatalities, it found.

Vancouver City Councillor Pete Fry described the report’s contents as “sobering.”

But he said there are no quick fixes to the problem either.

“To meaningfully address all of the risk will take a lot of money and a lot of time, so it does suggest the next steps will be more of an incremental approach,” Fry said.
“Obviously private property rights will prevail in many cases, we can’t force a lot of these changes — and even if we could, a lot of it would be so prohibitively expensive it would create other kinds of hardship.”

The report found six Vancouver neighbourhoods — home to much of the city’s affordable housing — accounted for 65 per cent of the citywide risk. They include the West End, Downtown Eastside, downtown, Kitsilano, Fairview and Mount Pleasant.

It also identified five building types, many built before 1990, which accounted for 80 per cent of the risk, including concrete high-rise apartments and commercial buildings, residential and commercial buildings made from unreinforced masonry and wood-frame multi-unit residential buildings.

The report also highlighted that in the event of a serious earthquake, entire neighbourhoods in some of the densest parts of the city may need to be cordoned off for long periods of time due to risk of collapse, and that major streets could also face blockages.

It calls on the city to develop a comprehensive seismic risk reduction strategy for 2025.

“We have to take it on in little bites, there’s no way we can do this anytime soon or quickly, but we do have to move towards that,” Fry said, adding that shoring up the city’s riskiest areas will require help from the provincial and federal governments.

“Certainly a lot of these buildings will be reaching the end of their natural life and will get replaced in due time, we just don’t have the resources to do that on a wholesale level.”

Shaharia Alam, a professor of civil engineering at the University of British Columbia’s Okanagan campus, said the city had done a good job at identifying its most vulnerable buildings.

But he said addressing the problem will be a massive undertaking, and will require significant funding from senior levels of government, and incentives for property owners.

But he said officials can also get a lot of mileage from educating owners and construction workers to empower them to do smaller things that mitigate risk.

Alam suggested the government fund training workshops on those types of upgrades.

“It is a big undertaking, so if we can even take those small steps then that can actually significantly help the whole building inventory and reduce the risk of building failures and save lives,” he said.

The report recommends the city prioritize the highest-risk building types and neighbourhoods for retrofitting and upgrades.

It also calls on the city to look at incentives and policy changes that could help building owners upgrade their properties while educating the public and creating programs to support voluntary upgrades.
