Just found your channel yesterday. Thank goodness and thank you so much because you have good technical information. No fluff and from around the world, not just California. I really appreciate this and have shared it with many people.
It could be possible that the 7.1 is the main shock, and might have been downgraded to a 6.9 by the United States Geological Survey. They have been downgrading some quakes for the past 6 years, which makes me angrier than usual.
@@LuisBelmontShow the 6.9 was reported first and 55 seconds later the 7.1 came in... both at different locations and depths. The 6.9 listing was deleted in the last hour......
To all my West coast USA brothers and sisters, I hope you all are taking whatever steps you need to to be safe. I'm sorry I'm not very eloquent, but I honestly worry for you all!! God Bless You All- Sincerely, Rick R.
why are there contradictory reports? My USGS app shows 2 quakes 55 seconds apart... both a separate locations kilometers apart and different depths... there are also some news channels reporting 2 quakes and the rest reporting one.... are some considering both events to be one event?
lol now that I check the app again 30 minutes later... the 6.9 quake, the first one reported 55 seconds before the 7.1... is now deleted from the list? What's going on here? The 6.9 was listed for more than 10 hours and as I wrote previously... several worldwide news outlets reported 2 quakes.
Yeah most "experts" get upset when you talk about how the pacific plate can release pressure in california by releasing pressure in japan, but i believe it.
Hey so they show that the earthquake happened close to land, away from the trench on the map, why didn’t it happen at the trench, was it a portion of land at that area that got caught up away from the trench?
@@kingme79 Believe it or not, some of us are actually educated, have studied these events and have them in our memory. Google is great, but what's the point if you don't actually learn from it? Maybe I googled it 20 years ago lol... Do you just google the same question over and over because it doesn't stick in your memory? Thanks for your lame comment. Pretty sure if you asked someone like The Earthmaster, or any Geo-Nerd these questions in person, they could tell you without having to google. Not all of us are simple.
Bakersfield is surrounded by them. Kern County is chock full wells and refineries. It's pretty much an oil capitol. But the eq faults were there long before the rigs and refineries. If you're thinking the drilling has caused the swarm, I doubt that. It's been awhile since the area has had much major eq activity, so it was due. I live in the Midwest now, near the New Madrid fault (which is a couple hundred years overdue itself), but I am from Bakersfield, 40 years of my life in Kern County, so I'm pretty familiar with how the California faults and the "Ring of Fire" work. When I moved here to Illinois in '04, I felt the last quake I have felt in 20 years. We had a 2.5-3 or so in the middle of the night. I immediately knew what it was. Most people slept right through it. Nothing ever happens out here, but seeing as how the Ring of Fire, and now states that never or rarely have seismic activity are experienced swarms of it. Maybe something major is about to happen, somewhere. I wouldn't be surprised if all the western activity sets off our New Madrid fault here. It's overdue by centuries, so the pressure surely has built . The western adjustments may affect our major fault. It's interesting stuff!
@@darlenekharris6269 there actually hasn’t been that much drilling in the Kern County fields as compared to 20 to 30 years ago. Getting permits to drill now is like pulling teeth. They are also cementing up old wells here. My husband is a petroleum engineer and constantly complains about it and so many people have lost jobs and been laid off that work in the oil industry here.
Oh, so they predicting a larger earthquake? Interesting, considering how you all claim they can’t be “predicted”. I’d say Dutchsinse has been correct all along. Seems a whole bunch of people might owe him an apology….
Bruh, why is California never getting large quakes, or very rarely. It's like these large quakes will strike Mexico, Chile, Japan, etc. but will skip California for some reason 😂
