They started swarming like this around 3/11/11 just before the big one.

All of the depicted earthquakes are of magnitude 4.5 and higher. The first animation shows the magnitudes of the quakes. The second one shows a faster sequence without the labels.

The first part of the video describes a perfect circle off the coast of Fuku. It reminded me of the Easter Island quakes before the eruption recently.
Report Comment
Almost as soon as I posted I knew that was wrong. It was Sandwich Islands that had the recent volcano.

I follow Fuku and other large 5+ EQ sequences here:

Do not take my word for this as I am not a qualified expert but just know from experience. I do not see a big one coming but do see the aftershocks destroying diaichi. A dormant fault has been activated under diaichi that runs to where I live. Before 3/11, we all felt the foreshocks. Once we get to a mag 7 or so we can expect something bigger. Even scientists did not warn about 3/11 so I am siding with no one can predict anything other than daiichi is doomed.

Hi rooks,
"…no one can predict anything". You're probably right. One keeps looking for patterns which probably aren't there
Report Comment
There is a large difference between a prediction, and a personal analyzation of available data.

Absolutely.

just as tacomagroove predicted….

this is worrying on so many levels

Notice that today's earthquakes are all at 10km depths. This is a very shallow depth and not normal for natural earthquakes. These after shocks are probably man-made from space-based Eco-weapon systems. http://www.jimstonefreelance.com. He offers proof about Fukushima to those who really want to know it. And we all need to know right now that for decades, the Powers have had the ability to cause Earthquakes and other "natural disasters". Do not be fooled by "acts of mother nature".

Report Comment
Satori, earthquake monitoring organizations like the USGS use the 10 km depth designation when earthquakes happen in locations at a distance from seismic monitors, where reliable depth information can't be obtained. For example:
http://earthquake.usgs.gov/learn/faq/?faqID=233
This is a common practice worldwide among EQ monitoring organizations, and just means that the actual depth can't be validated by seismic sensor information.

Total radiation amounts still going up… and up and up… no end in sight yet..no shut off planned… no one 'in charge' seems to care.

Let us hope and pray that SOMEONE cares enough about humanity to keep a large EQ from toppling #4 SFP, and DOES something to prevent this disaster.
Report Comment
is #4 still standing? enenews can publish this info. without a stampede to flee the west coast since only about twenty five people out of seven billion seem to be interested in this.

Don't forget me, I care, that makes 26.

#30 South East North Carolina and care a lot and echo your feelings. it's like there are just a handful of people that really care. but i do! Brunswick Nuke plant is 5 miles up the road.
Peace
Report Comment
5 miles.. sheesh. i'd be moving. and telling everyone else to. you got a dosimeter Jeff?
Report Comment
nope, sure don't. they discovered a leak there last year where the bolts hadn't been tightened down properly since its construction. Hahaha.
i don't know, call me crazy, but i don't think there's much escaping no matter where you live on the planet. this was intentional, in my opinion. maybe soon we'll all know why.
Report Comment
well, in truth, many countries run without NPP, New Zealand and Australia for example. So there is a (slight) chance to get away.
just my two cents, but i'd be buying a $400 dosimeter (i already have and i don't have a NPP 5 miles away).
i'm not trying to preach or anything.. but i'd be trying to get an activist group together in the area. show how asbestos was banned due to deadly and illegal issues. Uranium and NPPs need to follow. If things are as bad as suggested here, we need to start pushing back against this evil, not falling down silently.
but i understand that people may not have the resources to be an activist.. so i don't mean to be pushy about this.. just my soapbox.
Report Comment
Hey, i'm quiet here, but i will pu in my $.02 as needed, so i understand. i was going to get one of the meters last year but expenses went up and income went down, so not a lot of room left but working on something to change that maybe and help people that need help.
me and a few other people are in the planning and implementation stages of a project to help people, the twist is that involves art, prints and originals, but we take 1/2 of the money and use towards whatever that painting or print is showing. so, pictures of seagulls, $ to cleaning up the beach. pictures of turtles, rebuilds nesting grounds, whatever is appropriate. if we can get other artists and non-artists involved, we can get more money coming in to help other projects to help kids that have been affected by this disaster.
our opinion is that areas like this and the gulf of mexico are going to be decimated. if we do paintings of those areas as they were and take the money generated by sales to help that area instead of being greedy like it's always been before, then maybe we can make a difference somehow.
so, if you'd like to get involved shoot me an email at info@eagleart1.com and you can check out the website at http://www.johncummingsartist.com
thank you.
