Southern California Earthquakes picking up today. Huge CME Explosion on the Sun. Sunday 9/1/2024

all right what's going on there folks welcome back here to a weekend three-day weekend for some of us if you have a labor day tomorrow off congratulations there uh latest activity here on the globe show or at least on the map here shows some developing earthquake activity in Southern California within the last hour we got a swarm of activity again around the pente hills thres that's the uh uh thrust Vault that's made some national news here recently by the way it's about 9:39 a.m. Sunday morning first day of September 2024 there's that earthquake activity coming into the Los Angeles area it is in that zone that has seen uh let me go back here last 30 days seen a little bit of swarming activity here including a 4.4 that uh stirred up a lot of interest here in the penta Hills thrust Falt that thrust fallt capable producing a 7.5 earthquake here every other well seems like every couple every 3 to 4 thousand years it seems like at least that's the information I can get I can't find that's the other thing I can't fine I even tried to get a hold of Dr Lucy Jones and a couple other geologists here but they're all silent they won't respond to me uh when it comes to the question when was the last one out here on the pente Hills thrust vaal because if that's capable of producing a 7.5 earthquake that is more uh of a hazard for Los Angeles the greater Los Angeles area then say for example the 8.1 that's expected along the San Andrea's Vault even though this is a higher magnitude this is a less in terms of energy it's the proximity and the location here of the thrust Hills of the poed hills thrust fall uh that sits underneath the Los Angeles area that would do a lot more damage than an 8.1 would of course an 8.1 yeah don't get me wrong that'd be a a fairly powerful earthquake and and uh do a lot of damage down here but the proximity local proximity here a 7.5 directly underneath Los Angeles would be devastating so it's in that area uh this earthquake activity we're seeing right now in the last hour is in that region uh it all it just kind of kicked up here in the last hour so we got to keep an eye here on Southern California because Southern California is lighting up like crazy right now not only around Los Angeles but but also the sentto fault Zone one earthquake right smack dab on the San Andreas fault one earthquake up here off the Garlock fault Shear Zone 1.7 overall seismic activity on the increase here in the last hour so it's times of elevated activity here that we need to be on guard not a whole lot through the Western Pacific and I've said this before when one area is quiet over here the other area tends to bit get more active and right now it's Southern California's turn uh for the elevated activity a lot of that is is not showing up here on the the uh Globe that's because I don't have the um magnitude set really you know down there into the smaller range but it's there on the map we definitely see it got uh 2.6 from yesterday 2.7 here um early this morning so far and this warm of activity up here across various areas that we're watching watch Bakersfield as well normally when uh things get active in a couple different regions here like we've been watching over the last few weeks uh it will complete this little triangle feature here or maybe even a little odd shaped SK uh square around the Los Angeles area and the Garlock Vault Shear Zone which is right here so watch Bakersfield that should fill in a little bit here if not you know who knows today could be the big day tomorrow it could happen in another 20 years who knows we don't know nobody has that magic crystal ball of when to predict an earthquake on any given day any given time right anyone could say well in the next 50 years there's a 80% chance of an earthquake here yeah it makes sense right obviously when it comes to statistics and numbers and possibilities and predictabilities yeah percentages right it's Common Sense there but uh it's times of this elevated earthquake activity here that we've seen recently in the past few weeks and you know it's not only one location it's all around this area and of course the plate boundary sits in the middle of it all the San Andrea's fault so keep an eye on Southern California here it's ramping up in the last hour not only in one location but various areas out here all right further up north uh one earthquake this is the uh outside the Long Valley Super Volcano here 3.7 coming in early this morning that uh outside the Long Valley Super Volcano but in a couple different fracture zones out here uh it's very close to the uh looks like it's north of the 1872 earthquake fairly powerful earthquake here on the Owens Valley fault uh up here in this area in the in the volcanic tablein area decent earth earthquake 3.7 but you know when you put the picture together there's various areas that we've been watching here you know you can pretty much draw uh a line around the region here a circle seen a lot of activity here through Nevada recently that activity followed the movement over here across California here a couple weeks back when we seen that 5.2 4.4 and a couple other various you know earthquake swarms here we've seen the Inland areas kick up and that's a sign here right may seem on a large scale distant from the San Andreas fault to the Nevada area and Inland here on the North American Plate but what goes on here strain builds here across the plate boundary you get various areas building up enough steam here to produce a big one on the plate boundary and many other fracture faults out here all due to the plate boundary So This is highly strained uh we're seeing Inland earthquake activity excuse me it's just something to watch here folks I'm trying to get the Valley air trying to get used to the Valley air once again I spent the day over in Fort Brag up here along the coast beautiful blue clear sky well aside from the Marine layer but there was no smoke no Haze no fog or no uh Smog and I'm adjusting back to the Sacramento Valley air it's a little hazy if you ever come over the mountains and you look at the Valley from a couple thousand feet there it's a smog infested area you know and we're breathing all that air down here at least for the folks that live in the Sacramento Valley goodness another reason to get out of this area uh but anyway all right let's move on uh obviously uptick here going on today Southern California so watch that closely Northern California 2.2 12 Mi deep here into uh underneath the area associated with the Cascadia subduction zone here we've seen a little bit of trimmer out here recently most of it has been up north a quick glance here at the trimmer map let me show you guys real quick 688 epicenters of trimmer from yesterday notice a little bit here on the southern end of the Cascadia uh that will add further strain and stress other regions out here other fracture faults um not only at the surface but you got the subduction zone here and the big time time up here across the Vancouver Island range where most of the earthquake act or most of the trimmer activity has been taking place here so we'll continue to watch it West Coast definitely uh needs to be on guard out here 3.5 up in the Montana as well little odd earthquake way up outside of Helena near seedley Lake Montana it looks like couple different fracture zones that sit up here as well Yellowstone National Park nothing showing up but I bet you that 3.5 did on the graphs there it is showed up pretty nicely there's the distant 3.5 showing up fairly nicely across the Yellowstone seismograph stations in fact all of them it looks like as far as local seismic activity goes though um going to be this right here couple small spikes this is distant that 3.5 in Montana but this here is localized to this seismograph station which is uh um around northwest corner of Yellowstone National Park but uh yeah maybe yeah looks like that earthquake showed up as well over here that's probably a uh 2 point maybe a low grade two here's a 3.5 in Montana uh nothing showing up though on the USGS map here in this area that's an earthquake there from yesterday oh late last night oh no excuse me early this morning I'm still adjusting here folks uh Texas area oil fields getting hit once again couple earthquakes out on the East Coast as well various areas including a rare 3.8 up into Canada this earthquake was felt fairly broadly across the region here let me show you guys the U Digi filler reports coming in even to some of the states down here in Vermont and a portion of upper New York State kind of rare to get a upper three out there uh following that 3.8 struck 2:00 my time here a.m. uh we've seen a couple other earthquakes here yesterday so kind of following that trail up here across the mountain ranges North American Plate here almost always under stress and strain um from various tectonic forces out here and we do get these little ones out here from time to time nothing uh like I say nothing big but they can get uh they can get bigger we've seen historical data there uh quite a few videos back and uh it can get some damaging earthquakes out there across the East Coast so it's not only the West Coast here we have to worry about um what's this 2.7 coming in now that's the uh all right San asento fault Zone all right far as the bigger picture goes out here Western Pacific well we got a 4.8 coming in right now in the last 20 minutes or so it looks like across the um Vanuatu area fairly shallow 75 kmers deep there and a lot of older Quakes here Across the Western Pacific and adjacent plate from last night and yesterday uh so we'll keep an eye definitely keep an eye here on the West Coast Alaska looks like it's warming a little bit up here as well uh they seen a 4.6 outside the Cook Inlet area near Homer Alaska 30 miles deep here into the subduction zone which is the uan trench um outside of Anchorage there about 75 miles or so uh not a big earthquake but you know this is a earthquake country up here as as well that's a major subduction zone region Hawaii a couple smaller earthquakes out here this morning seems like that's getting the squeeze put on it as well uh nothing major couple twos and some ones out there for now Atlantic Ocean aside from that earthquake this uh yesterday 5.4 South Sandwich Trench we got one more 4 8 up here in the northern midatlantic Ridge a rift boundary creating some new seafloor out there over time slowly but surely we don't want that thing opening up quickly right that would uh I don't know what that would do probably worst case scenario that thing were to open up split um let's see here all right so yeah definitely keep an eye here on the Southern California area in general goodness ramping up here today uh we did see a large long duration inflare potentially could have been larger than an M Flare from this massive Sunspot out here on the Eastern limb Southeastern limb I told you guys to keep an eye on this area we got couple different active regions coming around the bin here and goodness that produced a massive CME uh look at that this here is from the solar ham.com site there's a flare long duration m5.5 flare could have been a little bit larger here just because it's uh in the um off on the Eastern limb here but look at that massive CME this is a Sun Center here in that Circle huge full Halo CME uh had that been Earth directed we'd be looking at uh some awesome Aurora storms here in a couple days but uh that is mostly east of us so I don't think we're going to see any effects of that uh but we'll keep our eyes open here on the forecast again this just occurred this this morning fairly massive uh M flare subsequent CME it's still flaring out there it looks like look at that goodness so I don't think there's 3811 I don't believe it's 3811 it's another Sunspot region that is further out here on the Eastern limb so you know there's a definitely a couple different regions out here that are getting active and I think we're going to be entering into a more active period here soon uh once these sunspots get into uh position here of the Earth yeah see look at that that's way out there just the Sunspot itself is still I believe uh just crested on the far side just barely coming around uh the Earth facing side here so none of these none of these sunspots are the uh culprit going to be a little bit further out there either way um yeah goodness 10% chance for XF flare 60% chance for Flair SEF flare at 99% chance and um a real quick glance here at the weather models because I've been looking at this last night and a lot of lot in the it's picking up a lot of curiosity here about a tropical system in the Gulf of Mexico headed towards Louisiana but if you look now look at this now compared to last night uh that tropical system is back south here again last night it showed a direct impact there on New Orleans Lou Iana area but today's model back down south hitting the uh Mexico area well south of Texas so these weather models that far out are not consistent we need to be within about maybe about four to five days here get a little bit more accuracy this is a ways out so about September 9th or so uh is when they're forecasting some type of tropical system to jump in uh and form here in the Gulf of Mexico where it's going to go you can't accurate currently predict that for now uh as we get closer we'll know a more uh projected path here but for now it's a ways out there all right folks I'm going to jump off here seismograph stations look calm for now uh again keep an eye here on California we're lighting up and uh just be prepared stay safe out there and we'll catch you guys back out here a little bit later on this afternoon
