October 14, 2012 – next 7 days

This list completed on Sunday, 6.30pm Melbourne time, 2012.

For this post I am going to reduce the length of the list for the U.S. states (western regions) will not be as extensive.

The reason for my doing this is that the western U.S. regions are experiencing an increase in the number of smaller (M1 –to M3ish) tremors, as I had anticipated, and to list all of the regions/towns potentially experiencing these tremors would make my ‘feelings’ list too long.

So I will refine all regions, as best I can, to smaller notations of where I feel there may be tremors, with maybe an addition of some areas which may be the odd regions out for maybe unexpected movement.

Some regions are rather predictable for movements currently, going on recent multiple tremors clustering in areas.

There are some areas, such as the Galapagos Islands and Venezuela, which have come up with some sizable quakes. I had noted my feelings for these areas 2 posts ago. Sometimes I get ‘building’ feelings about some areas in one post, only for these regions to pop up with quakes in the following post set.

My feelings about October, in general, are such;

I am getting a feeling that there may be a (or a few) volcanic eruption/s of a significant nature.

There has been multiple and simultaneous activity with many volcanoes around the world recently and currently.

I feel the ‘pressure’ points may be well north/north west of the Australian mainland (Indonesia??); east of the Pacific Ocean (maybe on the South American mainland) and perhaps East/central Africa (close to coast?).

Interestingly, there are two volcanoes close to/on Antarctica which have come to ‘life’ too.

Of the potential larger earthquakes, we may see one or two of an M5++ nature in the ‘triangle’ (Japan/Pacific Islands/Indonesian continent) region and/or;

another region could be between N/W Mexico, Central Americas and South America.

But remember, these are not predictions of actual events, they are just ‘feelings’ of where ‘energies’ may be focused. I could be very wrong.

    North America

North, Central and Southern California regions will continue to rumble with M1’s, M2’s and sporadic M3+’s.

Other areas which may see movement of M2+ or M3+ are;

* N/W and S/W Oregon (including offshore)

* Nevada, Utah, Idaho, Montana, Washington State, New Mexico, Wyoming, Minnesota, New York, Vermont and Rhode Island.

* The region of the Salton Sea and Mexicali are still drawing to it for a potential M3+?

“If you imagine an ‘L’ shape, from Washington/Montana, down to Utah/Arizona – then east across and including states such as Colorado, Kansas/Oklahoma, Missouri/Arkansas, Kentucky/Tennessee/Mississippi through to Virginia – there seems to be occurrences of M1’s, M2’s and the occasional M3. This pattern will probably continue – with the M’s popping up in these states sporadically” .Louise Page (me:) 2012  (I am going to leave this in this post, I feel it is relevant).

Indonesia

That line I once referred to from the South China, Sulu, Celebes, Banda, Molucca and Timor Seas is still sticking with me as a zone of ‘pressure’ – which could mean more M4+’s.
The Sumatran region is an obvious area for future earthquakes currently, which I failed to mention when pasting my notes for this post. If you check the buoy number 53046 (the one slightly to the upper middle of the three buoys) here, there is a stunning change in the lowest point of the reading - which has stabilized for the moment at a point about 250 meters below the 'usual' level.
