Good morning, YouTubers.
I'm glad you're all here.
Thank you very much for joining me. There in
Maine along the Norumbega Fault zone, which was
reasonably recently reactivated, there's been ten earthquakes within just
this one location in the last week.
The most recent was a magnitude 3.0 at 250 05:00 a.m.
Local time, 23 people said they felt this earthquake.
Here's the felt map that was sent into USGS.
A lot of times USGS doesn't report earthquakes.
So if you feel one, you can go to the USGS website
and then over here on the right you can put in your
report of your earthquake that is not posted by USGS.
It might be a way to get them to
start being more honest about all the earthquakes.
Report an unknown event, you just click
on that going to Google Earth.
Here's the Nora Mega fault zone.
It's a strike slip, what they
call a Dextral strike zone.
The top portion of the fault is kind of
moving northeast where the bottom is moving southwest.
This area is capable of having a large earthquake.
Let's see, where was it was there was an
earthquake that created a landslide and a tsunami.
That was in 1929 where they had a magnitude 7.2
along this fault zone and it created a landslide.
It devastated a lot of areas along the
coast and fishing ports and things like that.
You can see on Google Earth
the remnants of that undersea landslide.
27 people died in what's
called the Newfoundland tidal wave.
Women and children were among those that drowned.
Buildings were swept away, communication was cut off.
The earthquake triggered a large submarine slump estimated about
200 cubic kilometers, which would be about 125 sq
mi of material that moved along the slump, which
ruptured twelve transatlantic cables in multiple places.
The tsunami was recorded along the eastern
seaboard as far as South Carolina and
across the Atlantic Ocean in Portugal.
So here's the felt reports for the different locations.
Columbia Falls.
They got four responses there.
Intensity level of three.
Another one from another area in Columbia Falls.
Jonesboro, three responses there.
Jones port two.
Let's see another two there's Edison, one
report there and another one from Edison.
Intensity level three means that it was felt noticeably
indoors, but not always recognized as an earthquake.
Standing automobiles would have been rocking slightly,
would have been distinguished as maybe like
a vibration of a passing truck.
This is a fairly wide fault zone, depending on
the location where the fault zone is at.
It extends from New Hampshire to New Brunswick.
This fault system is one of the longest and
most studied fault systems in the northeastern United States.
The fault system cuts through the Appalachian Mountains and
is part of the complex record and it goes
all the way up through New England.
This is a very old fault system
when the Earth was shifting around, moving.
Some areas are 5, other areas are up to 40
km wide for this fault system, 40, about 25 miles.
They did a study at the Sand Hill corner.
It's a sheer zone and it's somewhere
between 300 to 500 meters wide.
So I drew that area out and
that is less than a mile wide.
But then that area they know they have
a lot of strain that has built up.
Like I said, this area is going to be moving northeast.
There's been more recent earthquakes.
Here is the 3.0.
It actually came in as a magnitude
3.15 yesterday at about 12:48 a.m.
Local time.
They did report this one as a magnitude 2.5
but it was actually closer to a magnitude 3.0.
Comes in as a magnitude 2.90.
That one there at Universal Time,
they're saying as a magnitude 1.7.
But over here, let me bring it over.
We got a small one right
there that's not being reported.
It's shallow at 1350, 613, 58.
Another one down here at 23 58.
That would have been at 07:55 P.m.
Last night.
And we got another one looks
like right here, 23.5 Universal.
So that would have been 700 and 05:00 p.m..
Then we got another small one.
Wrong spot?
No, it just looks like a slow moving tremor.
Yeah, prior to this 3.0, let me pull it over.
We had a slow moving tremors going on right through here
and it probably lasted maybe 2 hours, I want to say.
Looks like we got something small.
There another slow moving tremor
and more recently right there.
So did you feel this earthquake?
Let me bring it out for you.
If so, put those comments down below.
Thank you very much for watching.
Thank you for subscribing.
Always be prepared for a disaster.
Keep prepping and I'll talk to you later. God bless.
Bye.
