2/19/2012 — Explosive eruption @ Sakurajima Volcano – Japan

 

Having quieted off as of lately — this volcano shows spectacular eruptions on a daily or semi-daily basis.

Again , we see a large eruption of lava , ash , and rock. The slope of the mountain has built up hundreds of feet this past year… and continues to do so.. Also the second plume of steam coming from the back side of the mountain continues (2nd vent forming possibly?)

2/14/2012 — 6.0 magnitude earthquake off the coast of Oregon — West Coast USA OBVIOUS UNREST

Watch the video here :

————————————————

At this point.. I would say some sort of Alert should be issued to the earthquake prone areas of the west coast USA — through the midwest towards the NMSZ (new madrid seismic zone)… also watch south canada !

ANOTHER sizable earthquake has occurred off the west coast USA — coast of Oregon — 6.0 magnitude:

Here are the official USGS statistics:

The past 48 hours … 2/12/2012 through today 2/14/2012 have been AMAZING seismically speaking.

Starting with a series of earthquake swarms at dormant volcanoes in Utah, and throughout the state of California:

Then we move forward just a few hours from the swarms at the dormant volcanoes … and we have a 5.6M earthquake in north california:

Then, just a few hours later, we see a 6.0M earthquake strike off the coast of Honshu Japan — 80 miles south of Fukushima:

Then,  (today Feb 14) a 6.5M earthquake struck the Soloman Islands north of Australia:

Then move forward 4 hours… a 5.1 magnitude earthquake hit south California / Baja Mexico.

http://sincedutch.wordpress.com/2012/02/14/2142012-5-1-magnitude-earthquake-baja-california-obvious-unrest-continues/

and now.. a 6.0 magnitude earthquake off the coast of Oregon.

Be aware, and alert.  Don’t be scared, be prepared.  Food, water, communications, transportation,  and appropriate clothing… just to name a FEW of  the things you will need in case of a natural (or man made) disaster.

much love during these times
