Next QUAKE CHASE = New Madrid, Missouri

Yes, It's the 200 Year Anniversary of the 8 Magnitude Earthquake that struck down in the Tennessee, Missouri Region in the year 1811 and 1812!!! There were actually a Grand Total of 3 Major Earthquakes and a lot of aftershocks!!!!! Also, no actual seismographs as we know them today and so as a result no actual number for the Magnitude! Those numbers are ones that have been calculated over the years using systems that are used to calculate the size of an earthquake based on the amount of damage and are fairly accurate just the same. In any event it is the system that was always used traditionally before seismographs came along and sometimes reads like X, IV, IX, and VIII, etc. for the size of an earthquake if you know what I mean! Although I do not refer to it as the "Roman Numeral System" either!

So, be watching for that 6 Magnitude Earthquake that might strike this Saturday since it will be the Full Moon!!! But as one smart reader pointed out. . . I won't have to worry about tsunami in Oklahoma! Then WHY do I already have my Personal Floatation Device packed????? See You All! Quake Chaser / EQ Guy

Next Quake Chase: Costa Rica!!!!!

Great News Folks! Just talked to one of my friends who has a friend with a house in Costa Rica and would like us to travel down there anytime! Therefore, I said as soon as there is a Major Earthquake heading for Costa Rica we should plan on getting on a plane and flying on down there to take him up on the invite!!! Although it's been quite some time since the last alert was for Costa Rica. . . it is still fresh in my mind and it shouldn't be too long before the next one! 2012? Can't wait and it should be a pretty interesting Quake Chase possibly with a Great Earthquake to boot!!!!! Thank-You for reading! Quake Chaser / EQ Guy

Quake Chaser Pulls Up Stakes from Oklahoma!!!

Quake Chaser Is Shaking Here In Oklahoma!!!

Well, the ground sure does move a lot here in Oklahoma! Had one 3 Richters Shaker just before I arrived at around 6am yesterday, about the time I would have been filling up with gas at Joplin, MO. Got to the Oklahoma City area around 8:30am yesterday and spent the whole day exploring all the key places in the recent Series of Oklahoma Earthquakes. While I see a couple of the earthquakes have showed up on the National USGS List, but some of them didn't. At one point in the day yesterday the ground actually RUMBLED under foot for almost an hour, and a check of earthquakes showed that Sonora, Mexico had an earthquake that struck right at the end of that rumbling sequence and it was actually also the point that rumbling stopped! Then, a few more movements of the ground throughout the day, but me being so used to Los Angeles, and San Francisco, I make a note of those and move on, you know! Just basically adding Oklahoma to that list of "Shaky Places." Two people that I talked to both said that their reaction to that 5.6 Richters Shaker was that they DID NOT like it! Pretty much said they both hate earthquakes that big! Well, this Quake Chaser is hanging around a while yet and sort of wants to be in one of those!? Full Moon Shaker Tonight??? Big One??? 4, 5, 6, or 7??? Big day today checking out more towns, reservoirs, cracks in roads/buildings, and talking to folks around very shaky Oklahoma! Quake Chaser / EQ Guy

Leaving for Oklahoma City!!!!! Next Great QUAKE CHASE!!!!!

They just had another 4.7 outside of OKC and I am packing!!! Had to dig out my maps of Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, and Oklahoma and put batteries in my old transistor radio and starting to load up the car right now!!! With the full moon coming on Thursday Night it seems possible that we might be looking at a 6.5 or 7 Magnitude Earthquake down Oklahoma way and THIS Quake Chaser is going to be there!!!!!

Oklahoma City Here I Come!!!!! Calling All Quake Chasers!!!

If Oklahoma City works like so many places around the world it's easy to figure there might be Major Earthquake Energy there the night of the Full Moon, or Thursday, November 10, 2011 and so there is a chance I will be there that night!!! While they like to say that 5.6 was as big as earthquakes get in Oklahoma. . . I still have to see the Full Moon down there to believe it!!! Not going to hit 6 or 7 Richters OKC??? Making my plans right now!!! Thank-You for Reading!!! Quake Chaser / EQ Guy

Quake Chase Guatemala? Coast Rica?

Found some fairly reasonable flights to Guatemala around $500 and also some great hotel rooms there, too! While I found that Panama is a little more expensive, I noticed Costa Rica was a "Hub" for the airlines and flights are fairly cheep to there out of Miami! So watch for Quake Chaser to be hopping on a "Puddle Jumper" for Central America in the not so distant future. . . or as soon as a Major Earthquake starts heading in THAT direction! And as soon as he gets his passport renewed:) QC

Next Quake Chase = Albany, New York???

Yes, as close as I can figure to the exact epicenter which I eventually hope to be at is on this upcoming occasion. . . Albany, New York!!!!! I know it is only supposed to be a 4 or 5 Richters Earthquake, but I suppose it is the Quake Chaser in me that really wants to be there right at the epicenter at the moment this next big medium sized shaker strikes!!! Roundtrip Amtrak is $166, and i found a nice room for around sixty a night! I'm thinking through early next week I should be able to catch this one! Thank-You for reading! Quake Chaser

Quake Chase-Texas, and Kurgastan!!!

Just a note to say that if you were one of those who had asked me about doing a little Quake Chasing in Texas, you might have just caught a fairly good shaker last week, and if you were one of the guys who has it within his power to travel to Kurgastan there was also a fairly large shaker next door in neighboring Turkey!!! In the future we like to always cover such a shaky place as Turkey, especially when the straight line of earthquake energy goes directly through Kurgastan and Nepal. . . you can easily see Turkey there on the map plus or minus the width of that original line! The more Quake Chasers we get over time, the closer we will eventually be to having guys right there to report that Major Earthquake live as it happens! And doing a lot of the rescue work, too!

2 Hours Before The Full Moon!!!!! Coos Bay, Oregon 5.9 Richters!!!

Wasn't too bad of a Quake Chase!!!!! Just happened to be inside of a store when my phone rang telling me Coos Bay, Oregon just got struck with a 5.9 Richters Shaker at about the same moment that the building started to move from side to side practically throwing me against the wall and into the display there in the aisle where I was standing right at that moment, or trying to stand-up anywayz! That earthquake has since been downgraded numericaly, but still easily ranks as by far the biggest earthquake that Quake Chaser / EQ Guy has ever been in!!! This earthquake easily swayed us back and forth for several seconds as much as like close to 10 or 20 feet it seemed like, and reminded me of what I hear a lot of guys say when they describe earthquakes. . . that it felt very much like rocking in a boat!

So, until the next Major Earthquake Alert for a city or region that I can drive or fly to, I will write here again as soon as that time comes!!! Thank-You, again for reading!!!!! One And Only World-Famous, QuakeChaser Dude

Quake Chaser Is Leaving For San Francisco!!!!! Big Shaker Night of Full Moon???

Hello, Thank-You for reading my new "Quake Chaser" Blog!!!!! I hope to see some Major Earthquake action out California way this week and leave for San Francisco early tomorrow morning from Chicago's O'Hare Airport. I will arrive in San Francisco at 9:55am and have a lot of stuff I want to do, mostly earthquake work. . . but Quake Chaser Dude also loves his Rollerblading and so I plan to get some Rollerblading, too!!! Just so happened to notice a neat trail named "San Andreas Trail" and so can't wait to check that one out!

This Earthquake should be around a 7.6 Richters Magnitude and will probably strike the exact day/night of the Full Moon or a day or so after. The Great Chile Quake struck about ONE HOUR before the full moon and the recent Christchurch, New Zealand Earthquake AND the aftershock there were both two days after the Full Moon and I will still be in Frisco two days after the Full Moon on Friday Night!!!!!

Finally, be aware that this is NOT A DRILL. There WILL BE a Major Earthquake this week whether it strikes California or not be watching because somebody, somewhere will get a whole lot of this upcoming Major Earthquake Energy!!!!! There is actually more than one earthquake energy so something over in the Himilayan Arc region may also strike with this months Full Moon. Also, this energy could miss California and hit Ely, Nevada, or Caracus, Venezuala!

Wish Me Luck!!!!! It shouldn't be that long before another such occasion comes along that there will be more earthquakes and The Quake Chaser dude will be out on the road, again, Chasing Earthquakes! It's what I do!!!!! Quake Chaser
