Welcome To My Official "Quake Chaser" Blog!!!

Yes, this is the place where as you might notice, I post all of my latest Quake Chase stuff! Right at the moment the Major Earthquake we are watching and waiting for looks like it might strike Nicaragua and while I have found a friend who has a place down Central America way. . . I have also been told there is NO LAW in some of those places so looking at beautiful downtown Guatamala City on Google Earth may be as close as I am going to get to seeing this one because for the time being I have decided no Quake Chases to Central America in my immediate future!!! Also seen somewhere that Coasta Rica averages about one 8 Richters earthquake every two years and after thinking about it have decided that while the likelyhoood MAY BE high of actually catching an 8 Magnitude earthquake really close-up; the likelyhood of me wanting to be in the middle of it down in Guatamala is very low! Keep in touch with this blog for my next Quake Chase! Got my passport renewed AND got one of those fancy new passport cards to boot, but haven't decided where the next big Quake Chase will be! Alaska 2012??? Thank-You for reading!

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

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
