February 2013

Remember – the notes below are just feelings, not exact predictions of definite events.

This is an extensive list and will cover the whole of February and the last couple of days of January. I will add to this list if I get any other feelings for other locations BEFORE tremors occur.

I am not sure what effect the passing of the asteroid, on February 15^th, will have on any tremors, as this is beyond my understanding/knowledge.

This list will be added to, with other regions, a.s.a.p..

COUNTRIES

AUSTRALIA

Victoria – S/E M2(++?), far N/E M2(++?)

    - mild feeling  region starting with ‘B’ (Ballarat?, Bendigo?, Bairnsdale? Beechworth?)    M2+?

   - S/E of Lakes Entrance, in the Tasman Sea M2+(+?)

Tasmania – N/E and maybe N/W coast + west of King Island M2(++?) + far west of Tassie (below the Great Australian Bight/below SA & WA border) M3+(+?) + maybe the SW of the coast of Tassie.

New South Wales/Canberra – mild feeling for near Newcastle region M2(+?) + Canberra region M2(+?) + maybe north of Broken Hill M2 (+?)

South Australia - ?Lake Gardner National Park region (NW of Port Augusta) M2(+?) + maybe between Victor Harbor and Elizabeth (Adelaide is in the middle) M2(+?) + maybe north of the Nullarbor M2(+?) + maybe NW of the Witjira National Park (border with NT) M2(+?)

Queensland – maybe between Dalby and Brisbane M2(+?) + maybe (very mild feeling) east or NE of Mackay (sea/coast), this maybe east of Cairns? M2(+?)

Northern Territory – SW of Alice Springs M2(+?) + border with SA (central) M2(+?) + near Tarrabool Lake (ENE of central NT) M2(?) + maybe NW or N of Darwin M2(+?)(possibly off coast)

Western Australia – maybe SW or west of Margaret River (coast or off coast) M2(+?) + maybe west of Perth (coast or off coast) M2(+?) + (inland) east, NE and SE of Perth M2(?) + Lake Nabberu region (west of the Gibson Desert Nature Reserve) M2(?) + also maybe west of Carnarvon and Exmouth (offshore – Indian Ocean)

MACQUARIE ISLAND  maybe an M3+(?)

ANTARCTICA – see the co-ordinates I have noted at the end of this post.

NEW ZEALAND

North Island – Whangarei, Auckland, Tampo, Tauranga (east of), Rotorua, north of Gisborne (up coast), New Plymouth, way north of Whakatane (at sea), Great Island region (offshore of far NW tip of the Nth. Island), Palmeston North, south of Wellington (at sea), White Island.

***All of the above regions (on OR near to them) may feel tremors varying from M2 to M2+(+?). But some may only feel a mild tremor.  Only a couple of the regions may feel larger tremors.

South Island – west of Auckland Island M3(?) This island is south of the Sth. Island.

Christchurch may feel a few rumbles, maybe from M2 to maybe an M3(+?)

South west of the SW point of the South Island (offshore) may feel an M2+(+?)

CANADA – Vancouver region may feel an M2, and maybe an M3+(+?) + maybe south of Victoria (perhaps near the waterway) M2(++?)

British Columbia – north/central, towards border with NWT’s M2+(+?)

Alberta, near Calgary? M2(?) + maybe northern Saskatchewan + maybe lower Ontario/Quebec.

Near or WSW of Rimouski  (waterway) + Gulf of St. Lawrence  M3?

I am being drawn to the North Western Passages/top of Hudson Bay maybe an M3(+)?

ALASKA and the ALEUTIAN ISLANDS – the Gulf of Alaska is sticking with me for maybe an M3(+?).

There may be further tremors travelling north inland M2’s, ?M3 and maybe an M2+ further north again towards the top coast. Along the Aleutians maybe M2’s, M3 and maybe an M3+(+?). Towards the western ‘end’, maybe an M3+(+?).

NORTH AMERICA –

Washington – near Seattle and the NW coast, maybe M2+ and/or M3(+?)

Oregon – west of Portland, near Bend, near Klamath Falls, west of Roseburg (off shore), near border with Idaho.

California – west of Eureka, San Francisco, near Redding, Salinas/Santa Cruz, near Fresno, Ridgecrest, Bakersfield, Yucca Valley, El Centro, Santa Rosa, Salton Sea, Yosemite and Kings Canyon NP’s, Los Angeles/Thousand Oaks, Riverside (east of LA), Red Bluff, Fort Bragg and Grants Pass. These regions and surrounds may feel M2’s, M3’s and M3+(+?) perhaps in the regions highlighted in green.  The regions with ‘Santa’ and/or ‘San’ in their names are sticking with me a little as maybe ‘problem’ areas.

Nevada seems (in my non-scientific and unresearched opinion/feeling) to rumbling quite consistently with smaller tremors. My feeling is tending towards this area being one in which ‘energy’ is passing through – if that makes sense. Maybe it is on the eastern edge of where, if a larger quake was to occur, it could be on the western, NW and/or SW of this state.  Though, people from Nevada may know more about the reason for their tremors than me.

I also feel that ‘energies’ (tremors) may pop up in more of the states heading east in February, maybe even sweeping up along the east coast to Maine. A couple of tremors may pop up as ‘surprise’ movements in a couple of the states more central to North America. As I have been gradually piecing this post together, a couple of the eastern states have experienced tremors.

Reno (Nevada), Nevada – central, north and south maybe an M2, odd M3 and maybe an M3+? To the west?

Utah, SW, SE and N, Idaho, NE of Twin Falls, Arizona, N, SW, New Mexico, N, Colorado, S, W, Kansas, S, E, Oklahoma, S, Texas, Fort Worth, NE, E, Montana/Idaho border, Arkansas/Mississippi border, Tennessee, W, E, Louisiana, associated with Bayou Corne sinkhole, Missouri, S, Pennsylvania, E, New Jersey/New York, Virginia, E, Maine, S

The above US states/regions may only be M2’s and/or M2+’s, with a couple of M3+(+?)’s.  I get a mild feeling that an eastern US region may come up with an M4+?

CENTRAL AMERICA

The Gulf of California (top end and near lower end, and west of the ‘peninsula’) may come up with perhaps M3++(?)’s again.

Mexico – Guadalajara, Mexico City, west of Manzanillo,  south of Oaxaca.

And down the west coast of the rest of Central America, maybe M3+(+?)’s. Including Panama.

SOUTH AMERICA

Including Easter Island and the Galapagos Islands, maybe M3+(+?)’s

Venezuela, central/west Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Argentina, Belize (M2?), Trinidad and Tobago, Rio Grande do Norte may come up with moderate quakes. There may be a larger quake on the west coast, maybe along the northern and central west coast.

HAWAII – will continue to experience sporadic M1’s, M2’s and maybe an M3+?

Water disturbances (levels) may be an issue on one or two occasions. This may emanate from the west and NE.

PACIFIC ISLANDS – Many of the Pacific Islands may continue to experience sporadic and the odd ‘clusters’ of M3+(+?)’s. The Kermadec Islands are seemingly constantly rumbling and may continue to do so (according to a seismograph in this region).

Fiji, Tonga, Samoa, Vanuatu, near New Caledonia, Wallis and Futuna, and surrounding islands, may experience the larger tremors on or near their lands. I get a feeling that there may be some issue with sea level/disturbance involving one or more of the islands closer to the centre of the Pacific. I feel that somewhere in the western side of the Pacific, that an underwater volcano mound may become more evident. This may also include and island (not inhabited) in the southern regions of the Pacific may become ‘active’ or show ‘movements’ of becoming volcanic/life soon. The White Island volcano may experienced increasingly heightened activity.

CHINA – far western, NW, central south, SW, NE, SE near Taiwan, and maybe towards Beijing (general wide area/region) may experience tremors from M2 to M3+(+?).

The border of China and Vietnam is sticking with me a little for maybe an M3+(+?).
 

JAPAN – Movements of M3+(?) may continue to occur for the east of Honshu, Fukushima, Tokyo, Sendai, Morioka and particularly Hokkaido.

Of the southern end of Japan, Kagoshima (maybe near the East China Sea) and on/near the west coast, Sea of Japan, maybe near Kanazawa, may experience an M3(+?).

Mount Fuji may continue to be active and cause ground movements. This volcano may become problematic for nearby regions and air traffic. Water/streams/small rivers may be noticeably affected (current or direction of flow???).

VIETNAM – I am being drawn to the border of Vietnam and China, M2+(+?).

?The border region of Cambodia and Vietnam (towards the south) maybe M2+(+?)

LAOS – near the border with northern Vietnam is sticking with me a little, M2+(+?).

KOREA – north east of South Korea (Sea of Japan, coast or near coast), maybe M2+(+?)

THAILAND – This may mean nothing at all, i.e. no event, but the Gulf of Thailand is drawing me to it for some reason.

The mainland of Thailand maybe an M2+(+?), near the centre, M2+(+?).

PHILIPPINES – east of Davao, east of Samar Island, south east of Virac/north of Catarman, way east of Suriago City, regions of Mindanao, east of Mati and on the western side – off coast in the Sulu Sea and South China Sea, maybe M2+(+?)’s.

Palau (island in the Pacific, east of Philippines) maybe an M2+(+?)

INDONESIA – west Papua, the Moluccas, central Salawesi, south of Bali, south of East Java, south of East Timor (Timor Sea), the Banda Sea, south of Bandung are sticking with me for maybe movement in the region of M2+(++?).
Sumatra, from the west coast and traveling east along the coast, may experience another couple of M4(+?)'s again, off coast.

Below are the co-ordinates of some of the locations I may not adequately describe with ‘name’ location. These are meant to be approximate locations of areas I get some ‘feeling’ for.
