And really only M5.4!

About the magnitude revision...the earliest magnitude estimates are
ML, which are based on relatively high-frequency seismograms. As
better long-period data are folded in, from regional as well as local
stations, a moment magnitude (Mw) can be estimated. For mid-4 to
high-5 quakes, ML is frequently higher than Mw.

Where you at?

I felt this one in my office in Pasadena, also MMI Vish. By this time
tomorrow I might be able to post links to a quick report on the
earthquake as well as a page with damage photos. (A scoop exclusively
for readers here: the Caltech Seismo Lab sustained [very] minor
damage.)

Stanton, north OC.

PAGER currently lists me at intensity VII, and only 4th down the
list, higher than Chino and Chino hills themselves. Looking at
the intensity map there is a lobe/pocket of increased shaking in
my area. Probably "bowl of jello" effect.

Probably explains my first guess at the magnitude of 5.8 to 6.

OK but only for the groups to whichit cross posted, poor people need a
lot of help obvously, lposters to ca.earthquakes, living in a region
of earthquake activity and not having a clue whats going on.

And geologists, people who haven>t got the faintest idea what>s going
on.

********

Looking at what actually causes the causes of phenomena that
meteorologist focus on the predict weather, I have learned it>s a
material that defies the laws of nature.

Consider cyclogenesis the coming together of the various elements in a
Low pressure vortext.

Does it make sense to anyone here that the core of these things is
warm?

I am not asking anyone to consider difficult subjects, just how come
the expanding air is the stuff contained in the centre. But when you
learn something about "shear" it becomes obvious that vorticity, the
ability of a fluid to dispose itself for rapid dispersal, is
impossible.

How easy is it to contain water? The definition of a liquid means it
will not stay confined if it can possibly help it.

One more thing and I will continue the lesson later:

There are equations that can be used to work out what a fluid is going
to do in a given situation. It isn>t that anyone understands what is
going on, but that with measuring the data of a given situation and
measuring the way things change, conclusions can be drawn about the
subject.

Two men in the 19th century did most of the donkey work and they
produced tables of equations for fluids.

They found that things held together pretty well until the functions
produce a number for the fluid value(s) that is somewhere about 5.5
somethings or others.

Which (for obvious reasons that any regular to sci.geo.earthquakes
will soon guess) struck a chord with me.

At around 6.6 the fluid engineer is havingf major difficulties and
with the continuum approaching the values that give a 7, the mass has
become critical.

Some Axioms.

Read the stuff about tornadoes forst if you know what I believe about
earthquakes. It is the newest stuff I have come up with.

Earthquakes.

Some quakes appear to overlap. The ones that overlap appear on th NEIC
list as consecutive quakes. They forecast that a major storm is about
to decline. I am not trying to prove it, just stating the facts.

It would appear that the intensity of the quakes is inversly
proportional to the knots at which the storm is rated.

Say there is a Hurricane Cat 2 running and the next day it drops 10 or
twenty knots to a Cat 1, that will have appeared on the NEIC list as a
time difference between the overlapping quakes.

There is a way of gagueing the intensities of the storm. It follows
there must be a way of gauging the intensity of n earthquake.

It needs a litle work on it yet though. Or I can>t remember what I
found without looking it up. Whatever. It is still on the front page
online.at sge.

Tornadoes.

There seems to be a relationship with Chinese earthquakes and US
tornadoes.

There are seldom many tornadoes during a spell when there is a
tropical storm running

The foregoing suggests that the presence of tornadoes indicates the
intensities of the storms in the immediate future.

I know this list should be a lot longer but I forget what the rest of
the stuff I noticed was. I>ll bookmark this thread and come back to it
as I remember them / remember to post them on here.

A note of caution, don>t be put off by the notes of others. They can>t
do it and sek to prevent others doing it.

I remember a post about Newton>s Cradles on a thread asking for help
in understanding them. The most frequent poster for that sort of thing
was always belittling such basic posters' questions. But it was
evident he had little grasp of how the chain worked himself.

Perhaps you might consider the physics of half a dozen or so metal
spheres suspended next to each other on a mutual swing. A ball is
lifted off the others and dropped onto them. The ball in the line
which is aty the other end shoots off the stack.

Why and how?

There is a law that states energy (or force, I forget which) must be
shed as quickly as possible in any physics. I can>t remember the proof
or the inventor of that idea. But it points to the reason that the
other balls find their own level and only one ball jumps for each one
that is dropped.

And so it must be for whatever the cause of weather is and thus by
extension, the earthquakes related in some way to the weather. QED,
earthqauakes and weather have the same cause.

I think I need to cover that next. The next spell is a difficult on to
predict and the reason has a lot to do with the fact the planet is a
fluid and goes critical at certain stages of its fluid dynamic.

We are about to hit another peak.

Power law

A few notable examples of power laws are the Gutenberg-Richter law for
earthquake sizes, Pareto>s law of income distribution, structural
self-similarity of fractals, and scaling laws in biological systems. Research on
the origins of power-law relations, and efforts to observe and validate them in
the real world, is an active topic of research in many fields of science,
including physics, computer science, linguistics, geophysics, sociology,
economics and more.

Power-law relations characterize a staggering number of naturally occurring
phenomena, and this is one of the principal reasons why they have attracted
interest. For instance, inverse-square laws, such as gravitation and the Coulomb
force, are power laws, as are many common mathematical formulae such as the
quadratic law of area of the circle. However it is mainly in the the study of
probability distributions that power laws have attracted recent interest. A wide
variety of observed probability distributions appear, at least approximately, to
have tails asymptotically following power-law forms, an observation connected
closely with the study of theory of large deviations (also called extreme value
theory), which considers the frequency of extremely rare events like stock
market crashes and large natural disasters.

That>s the first time I have ever come across somebody willing to
consider what I am saying. Fancy that, after all these years. There is
a million dollars waiting in prize money for the people who can crack
the code of fluid dynamics too. You>d think there would be more
interest.

I was trying to recap what I have gathered over the years just before
reading your reply. I wasn>t written with anyone in mind. Just as a
rough guide to the principle that if you tell someone a truth they
can>t admit to they will get irritated:

Any old axiom

You are probably familiar with Jim Birks who has raised the ire of his
peers in California over the idea that earthquakes are tidal. You may
not be so familiar with a fellow from Coimbatore India who was
claiming how he could forecast them from the sundial he had set up in
his garden.

These men may have the wrong explanation for the results they have
found but it unreasonable to expect them to adhere dilligently with
the claims they maintain if they can not see some grain of truth in
their discoveries.

Both men have jobs or had jobs of some responsibility. And seem to be
competent citizens. And they exhibit classic scholarly traits too as
well as being less anxious to go to war with anyone that wants a fight
than I am.

That their discoveries do or do not hold water I can not say. I don>t
try to claim the impossibly narrow windows that the science of
seismology has set itself. I can see that that degree of accuracy is a
design fault ...dreamt up by adherents of a quasi autonomous
religious sect that don>t know what they are talking about. If I am to
be judged by such ideas by you; stop reading now.

I won>t stop writing what I find and you will only get more and more
upset over it.

As it happens, I too claim that the cause of the weather is lunar -if
not tidal in the conventional concept of tides. I might be inveigled
to digress on that subject if someone asks me nicely. I will not be
dropped on by a mob of shayt-hawks who don>t have the insight of lice.
So be warned.

This is what I know. I don>t claim to have done the research and
whatever in the conventional sense. I can>t PROVE anything. And I
won>t be ordred to neither.

There is too much to learn all at once for a man to spend a lifetime
collating tables he will not have the character to consult. I am not
paid for my work and thus excuse myself in doing only the portions of
it that appeal to me.

The recompence I get is in being able to post with the temerity I have
been posting, knowning that in the little I have done I have
accomplished a lot compared to what is at present being done.

The state of the art in geology at the moment seems to consist of:
Which tropical paradise can we afford to destroy at the moment, in the
demand for oil. And:
Which theory is the correct one that will tell us how old the earth
is. As if that particular endeavour will be useful for anything.

For the life of me I can>t see why I should be abused for my work when
we have the merits of those two to debate.

Be that as it may here is what I "know" to the limits of my endurance.
If you demand proof, you will have to supply it yourself or its
refute. Please yourself -but don>t pester me with either. Thank you
very much in advance.

It is very unusual to have a planet the size of ours so close to one

Ridiculous.

It is there to help us extend Eden. It is as simple as that. God is a
great one for signing his work. He won>t do anything for us before he
tells us about it. And planting that bloody big celestial object so
impossibly close looks like a fateful portent to me.

We have recently learned that it exhibits a gravity field that is
exceptionally unusual compared to that of earth. Those three or so
blotches on it we call seas are amazingly significant. And that>s all
I can say about that. (Box of chocs for deciding what flavours comes
out of it I>m afraid.)

In the meantime, the major function for it, that I can see is that its
longitudinal progress imparts a major input to tides on the surface of
the sea.

It doesn>t, strange to say, have all that much effect out in the
oceans. You>d think the opposite would be true would you not?

But it is on the coasts that it has marked effect. And it is shallow
water that holds the key to the world>s major storms. Search and see.
(I won>t. I already have and if my word isn>t good enough, do it
yourself or leave now.)

Tropical storms seem to follow shallow water. That phenomenon fits
nicely with what (in Europe) we call the Icelandic Low and the Azores
High. They frequently stall over the Mid Atlantic ridge.

It seems they need a nudge to get them over it.

That nudge is something I have taken to calling spells. They fit
nicely with the times of the phases of the moon.

In Britain a lunar phase produces anticyclonic stuff when it is at 5
or 11 o>clock. And cyclonic when at 1 or 7 o>clock. That is, when
there are no complications to it.

Tropical storms and potential earthquakes seem to upset the apple
cart. But oddly enough the fluid dynamic of Navier Stokes seems to fit
in that model too. For there is an inverse relationship with the
intensities of storms and earthquakes that seems to fit on the
logarithmic scale of both intensity thingumybobs.

3 and 9 o>clock seems to be prone to producing thunder and 6 and 12
seem to provide low cast cloud or drizzle even fogs. But indeterminate
weather overall I think this is because they settled weather on these
spells makes the planet prone to starting cyclones and to tornadoes in
the season for them.

In the USA the opinion would defy explanation unless you consider the
divide of the Mississippi and the "brow effect" of thos hills you have
in the west.

You get floods almost at the same time as you get forest fires. That>s
how it seems to me. I appears there is a deliminater about Utah or so.
And by the time Georgia and California are compared the results show
totally dissimilar effects.

The other spells are more difficult to ascertain but that is because I
was locked into an idea that was wrong. And I lacked the understanding
and the data to see it for years. I was beating myself up over it.

Now it seems that the USA gets bad derechos and tornadoes when the
spell is around 2 or 02:30.

Which implies that the same holds true for 8 o>clock (as with the 6
hour intervals above.)

Which just leaves the business of 4 and 10 o>clock, which seems to
involve volcanic activity and tropical storms over the Philippines and
Japan.
