Good morning everyone.
I'm glad you're here.
Thank you very much for joining me.
Don't forget to like my videos.
Thumbs them up.

Last night there was a magnitude 5.2 earthquake.
And then at 10:30 p.m.
Local time, there was a magnitude 5.1.
Person said they felt this earthquake and they
were both about 6.2 miles below sea level.
All earthquakes are measured from sea level. Yeah.
Eventually down here by Baja California, it's going to
be up there in Santa Barbara, in San Francisco.
What happened here with these earthquakes was the
rift moved going north and there was spreading,
making room, widening the Gulf of California.
Now, last year there was a series of earthquakes,
but not quite as large as these two.
You can see them all marked here.
This is from 2021.
Example, in fact, December 19 of 2021.
It's a misconception that people believe
that smaller earthquakes will relieve the
pressure, preventing a larger earthquake.
That is not true.
There was also a 4.8 today, but it
started out with the magnitude 5.2 and then
the largest one that I have marked here.
And not to say that in fact it was the
largest, but in 2012 there was a magnitude 7.0.
Gives you a good indication.
Yeah, this area is capable of having large earthquakes.
That 7.0 was on April 7 of 2012.
Here we have the data that
I downloaded from two different monitors.
This is using the Swarm program.
You just can't guess about
the magnitude of the earthquakes.
And sometimes they fudge.
Majority of the time they fudge about the earthquakes.
And USGS does not often report all the earthquakes
that happened down there in the Gulf of California.
So I downloaded the information
direct from the seismic sites.
This one right here was the closest BC, SFX.
And then the other one was Ae.
21.
Four A.
This one here isn't working.
I don't know if I got the wrong data to
look for the earthquakes or the wrong number for the
seismic station, but this one and this one right here
is the monitors that I downloaded from.
All right, so here's the two seismic station.
This top one is BC.
The bottom one is AC.
And you can see that the bottom
one, the earthquakes actually came in better,
which would be this one right here.
Maybe this one hasn't been
calibrated recently, I don't know.
Yeah, you just can't guess about
the size of the earthquake.
You actually got to go in and
get the data and go from there.
All right.
452.
This is the first earthquake.
This would be the 5.2 that USGS reported.
And you can see the little points.
This was tectonic in nature. Yeah.
The Gulf of California is
slowly moving, spreading, going north.
And they did not fudge about this earthquake.
It actually comes in as a magnitude five point.
23.
Alright.
The next one would be the magnitude 5.1.
It actually came in a little bit
sooner here at look at the spectrogram.
There it is.
But that one they were off on.
It comes in as a magnitude five point 27.
Here you can see we got a smaller
one at 517 that USGS didn't report.
Again, tectonic in nature, movement of the
plates, Gulf of California moving north.
That one comes in as a magnitude four
point 29 and we'll go to the spectrogram.
Then we got another one right here.
It almost looks like two earthquakes at 826.
That one comes in as a magnitude three
point 29 and they're not reporting it.
921, another earthquake which is not being reported.
There's its seismic signature.
That one comes in as a 4.1
and we'll go back to the spectrogram.
We have another one.
It looks like two actually at 338,
almost 25 seconds go to the signature.
This was prior to these other large earthquakes.
And that comes in as a magnitude two point 21.
It's a small one.
You'll notice the sharp points.
Actually you can see the rounded signature better here.
Again, that's tectonic the plates moving.
Alright, we got another one here at 826.
Let me bring it over.
It almost looks like two earthquakes.
We'll go to the seismic signature but that
comes in as a magnitude two point 75.
And then this is what it was showing when
I pulled the files just a little while ago.
It's about 800 in the morning and you can see
there's steady movement there in the Gulf of California.
Yeah, it's still moving.
Boom.
As that fault line slowly rips.
Yeah, see that?
Lots of real small earthquakes.
And we'll go with the seismic signature.
Yeah, it's hard to tell there but
yeah, you can see it there.
It's still all rumbling there and it kind
of settled down when I pulled the files.
Yeah, right through there.
Boom boom boom boom.
This is the stream view.
This is the actual data that
came in on those two monitors.
And we'll go back another 4 hours.
This is what's currently showing.
And right now it's 08:19, a.m.
Central Daylight Time.
I'll go back another 2 hours and
you can see these smaller earthquakes.
Yeah, we got it's hard to tell.
1234.
These are really small, five and six, maybe seven.
This one here at will go to the seismic signature.
That comes in as a magnitude two point 81 right there.
And then this one at nine point 16.
That would be Universal Time.
That comes in as a two point 69.
Also we'll look at the spectrogram.
Let's pull it over a little bit.
I might have made it a little bit too long.
Meaning where I mark the seismic signature, if I
shorten it up, it comes in as a magnitude.
Only one person said they felt the
earthquake and that was actually the 5.1.
I'm sure a lot more people did feel
this earthquake, but it could be an indication
that a larger one is coming.
There is going to be smaller quakes coming
after this, there's no doubt about that.
And it's a poor country and a
lot of people just don't care.
They get a lot of earthquakes anyway, so they probably
don't send in their reports to USGS, unless, of course,
it's a magnitude seven that happened in 2012.
So thank you very much for watching.
Thank you for subscribing.
Thank you very much for your support.
And as always, please stay safe
and I'll talk to you later. God bless you. Bye.
