As of July 29, 2014, I would have Arrived HOME From Latest Quake Chase on Monday. . . . .

But looking back now, I also notice the very reason that I did not ultimately go on this Quake Chase was because it was for a MegaThruster and possible Tsunami and as I said in that weeks Video Log, I did not want to be climbing around on that 30 foot crevice left near Anchorage by the 1964 Alaska Earthquake when the next MegaThruster stikes!!!

Therefore, decided NOT to travel to Anchorage on this occasion but it was very close!!! Had planned to leave Thursday which would be a week ago this coming Thursday, August 31, 2014 and would have arrived home yesterday early on July 28, 2014. In the process of all the planning I encountered the Super 8 Motel in Anchorage filling up and leaving me with 2 Queensize beds for $170 a night. Finally if I was able to navigate from Delta Airlines, get the airline ticket and get back to the Super 8 website. . . was not certain ANY rooms would still be there! Gave up at the thought that too big of a Pacific Wide Tsunami could even affect Anchorage and that was the end of that one!!!

Will still make it up that way eventually, though!!! Quake Chaser/EQ Guy

Quake Chase: Anchorage!!! Who's Going!!!???

As of this late hour of Saturday Night April 26, 2014. . . I am presently checking around to see who would like to fly out on Sunday on this potentially GREAT Quake Chase up to beautiful Anchorage, Alaska!!!!!

Going right now to check for flights and no idea where I or we might stay. . . except actually have at least one friend up that way!!! CHECKED!!! Looks like some great seats available on Alaska Air Flight 139 Non-Stop from Chicago to Anchorage leaves at 9:35am and arrives at 1:10pm but not sure if that is Alaska Time? Now checking for hotels, stand by!

Until then check out this Great Vid!!!!! Could hardly believe I was hearing:


Updates to come as soon as I know more but until then check out Official Prediction Anchorage: http://earthquakealert2.blogspot.com/2014/04/official-prediction-for-anchorage.html

Thank-You Again For Reading and please let me know immediately if you are going!!! Quake Chaser/EQ Guy

Quake Chase 2014: San Fernando/Tijuana??? BUT WIth an 8.2 Coming??? AND Which City???

With the line of Major Earthquake Energy crossing almost directly through the San Fernando Valley it is hard not to take off immediately for Beautiful San Fernando and tempting to be within a few miles of the epicenter of possibly the biggest California Earthquake in all history of mankind. . . but at the same time having already been in a few fairly big ones, not! Hard to imagine what might be the result of the two 8.2 Richters foreshocks that could possibly both be sending all their earthquake energy up towards that region.

Secondly, additional readings of the globe used to track such earthquake energy as this, turned up Tijuana and am not exactly sure if it is really too possible to situate ones self anywhere that might catch one or either of these potentially upcoming BIG ONES!

Does look like this is it, though! And am actually giving some thought to this because it is rare that there is something this big going down. Window runs into May 2014 and I wish there was a way to narrow that date down more both from the stand point of wanting to "Quake Chase" and wishing to be able to alert the people this could be happening!

Until more is known I will be sticking right here writing and hoping some day to have a better system by which to inform the general public that it does look like there could be a Major Earthquake heading for them!!! Thank-You For Reading!!! Quake Chaser/EQ Guy

Quake Chase 2013: LaGrange, Illinois??? Well They DID Have a 3.7 Yesterday!!!

Couldn't believe it when I heard there was a 3.7 Richters Earthquake in the nearby State of Illinois! Of course you didn't have to tell me twice by the names appearing on the front page of the notice that it was another in a recent series that has been striking just outside Chicago, so I knew right then and there that I would have to travel down to that neighborhood where I have been known to rollerblade in the past and even lived during the shooting of the movie HOFFA during the early 1990's.

Yes, I am talking about LaGrange, Illinois! The actual epicenter was listed as the next town to the east of there, McCook, Illinois. . . also a small town where old Route 66 once ran through and you could probably say still runs through today!

Here is the Welcome Sign from that wonderful little Shaky Place!!!

There I talked to one person right at the epicenter inside a Bank of America and she described it as a "Tremor" and said that they thought a semi had struck the building and when they all went running out of the building they immediately noticed that everybody else had gone running out of all the other buildings in the neighborhood, too! Including restaurants, pharmacies, book stores, gas stations, and etc. in this otherwise sleepy little suburb of Chicago.

Downgraded to a 3.4 by the end of the day yesterday, this was large enough to be felt all over Northern Illinois and Southern Wisconsin as well as a few felt reports from Indiana!

The epicenter was very near a Quarry where a lot of the blame for this shaker was going over the last two days due to them having blasted just moments before this earthquake, but it may possibly never be determined what the quarry blast might have had to do with it.

And that is exactly how this Quake Chase ended, too, by going over to the friendly neighborhood Shopping Plaza that goes by the name "The Quarry" for a slice of Pepperoni Pizza and a can of pop!!!

See you all on the next big Quake Chase!!!

Sincerely,
Quake Chaser

Quake Chase 2013 to Vanuatu? Looks Like The MegaThruster May Stike Out There Somewhere!!!

I have been doing some checking and found out that I can catch a flight directly from O'Hare Airport in Chicago to Brisbane, Australia with only one stop at DFW, Dallas-Fort Worth. Then I would have to catch a flight from Brisbane to Port Villa, Vanuatu but it looks like that might not allow me to stop over in Australia due to Visitor Visa rules there and I have not resolved the matter of changing planes at the Brisbane Airport without entering Australia per se. . . if there is such a thing. Same thing on the return trip.

Everything else would be pretty much a go to spend the month of August out there in the middle of those Pacific Islands, out there where some of this upcoming MegaThruster MIGHT be shaking in the coming days and weeks!

So, Quake Chaser will be working out the last minute connections on this now upcoming research trip including where I'm going to get the three thousand-five hundred dollars that I will need to purchase all of those tickets in addition to several nights stay out there on Vanuatu somewhere. I have not found if there is a ferry service that travels among the islands in order for me to catch Luganville, or possibly Fiji? And WHERE is the MegaThruster going to strike??? Thank-You For Reading!!! Quake Chaser / EQ Guy

Someday I MIght Like to Quake Chase a big Sumatra Style Mega-Thruster!!!!!

I know that could be today, but I don't really know if I want to get the feeling like I might be way too close to one of those big giant fault lines that has the capability of causing Gnormous Tsunami's!!!!! Otherwise now would be the time to be thinking about getting on a plane and starting to catch a flight over to Jakarta. . . which ironically I have actually even looked into before! Think I would have to change planes like in Japan or Korea or one of those places that probably has direct flights to Jakarta, while there possibly are no direct flights to Jakarta from Chicago O'Hare.

So, watch for that next big MegaThruster to strike over in that region and think of me still sitting here safe. . . in the basement of Moms house up here in mosquito infested Wisconsin!!!!! Quake Chaser

LOTS of Potential Earthquake Stuff Going On In California!!!!!

Currently working on possibly catching one of the upcoming Major California Earthquakes that seem to be headed both for the Mexicali/Calexico Region near Los Angeles AND for the Northern California Region where Mammoth Lakes just got five pages of earthquakes as of late last night which all add up to around 150 Richters!!!

Kind of tough to figure out where a guy would travel to in order to catch all the action but you know Quake Chaser is on it!!!!! O'Hare Airport here I come!!!!! See You Out There. . . . . just have no idea where I might end up!!!
