Record Swarm Of California Earthquakes Continues A Series Of Unusual Events That Began In Late September
Submitted by Michael Snyder via The End of The American Dream blog,
First it was wildfires, then it was unprecedented flooding, and now it is earthquakes. In the past two weeks alone, more than 400 earthquakes have shaken San Ramon – a small city that sits approximately 45 miles east of San Francisco. Never before have so many earthquakes been recorded in that area in such a short span of time. Standing alone, that earthquake swarm may not mean that much. But when you stand back and look at all of the unusual events that have been happening since late September, a very disturbing picture begins to emerge.
But first, let’s talk about this earthquake swarm. All over the planet, seismic activity seems to be increasing. According to Volcano Discovery, dozens of volcanoes around the world have recently erupted, and Afghanistan was just hit by a massive 7.5-magnitude quake. It was one of the worst earthquakes that Afghanistan has ever seen, and it is going to take months to deal with all of the damage. So that is why it is so alarming that right now there is record breaking earthquake activity just outside of San Francisco…
San Ramon, California, appears to have broken a new earthquake record over the last two weeks: A total of 408 small quakes have shaken the East Bay city, almost four times the record set in 2003 in half the amount of time.
“I’ve not felt so many tremors in decades,” Mark Stone said outside a San Ramon Starbucks on Tuesday morning. “My dog, Gimmel, she’s the first one to know a couple of seconds before.”
And his dog has been extra alert lately.
The state of California has been seeing a lot of disasters lately. In late September, tremendous wildfires in the state were making headlines all over the planet. In fact, Barack Obama formally declared the Valley Fire to be a “major disaster”, and federal funding was released to help fight it. The following is from an NBC News article that was posted on September 23rd…
President Barack Obama has declared a major disaster for the fourth most destructive wildfire in California’s history, a blaze that has forced some 12,000 people to evacuate their homes and caused at least three deaths.
Obama signed the declaration Tuesday to release federal funding to help with the Valley Fire, which has been burning north of San Francisco since September 12.
This has been an exceptionally bad year for wildfires nationally. According to the National Interagency Fire Center, the only time when more acres had burned up to this point in the year was in 2006. And the truth is that we are just barely behind 2006’s record pace. More fires are still burning right now, and by the time it is all said and done I expect that 2015 will end up surpassing 2006 and will be the worst year for wildfires that we have ever seen.
As I wrote about the other day, we have also witnessed unprecedented flooding in recent weeks as well. A few days after Obama’s disaster declaration in California, the storm that would became known as Hurricane Joaquin developed into a tropical depression on September 28th.
Even though Joaquin never made landfall, moisture from that storm absolutely devastated the east coast. The governor of South Carolina, Nikki Haley, said that it was the most rain that her state had seen “in a thousand years”…
“We haven’t had this level of rain in the low-country in a thousand years — that’s how big this is,” said South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley. Days of record rainfall and catastrophic flooding left at least seventeen people dead in South Carolina and two dead in North Carolina, Oct. 6, 2015. Thirteen dams have failed.
Following that, we also witnessed historic flooding in southern California, and the remnants of Hurricane Patricia caused flooding in many parts of Texas. You can read about the details in my previous article entitled “Why Is This Happening? Unprecedented Flooding Has Hit The U.S. Within The Last 30 Days“.
Could it be possible that there is a connection between all of these events?

Who knows? As NBCBayArea concludes,
"We just don't understand the structural geology of the swarms, why they turn on and shut off quickly," Schwartz said in a previous interview. "We just don't understand."

It's OK.
NPR told me to have an emergency radio and three days of food and water.
I'll be fine. I'll be fine.
The 89 quake was enough to inspire me to leave the Bay Area. Good luck to all those really smart people buying the million dollar homes there now.
"Good luck to all those really smart people buying the million dollar homes there now"
They'll be ok...as long as they have insurance...but the insurance companies...well, they're in for a serious ass reaming should all those million dollar crack shacks come tumbling down...or those $10 million 2 bedroom "ocean view" homes slide down those hills they're so precariously sitting upon.
I wonder what the total insured liability is for all the RE in SF? I"ll bet you the premiums don't reflect the true risk...the insurance companies are betting on a Federal Bailout should a big one hit.
Dont' know what their insured includes for but I bet if they get the flooding too they'll be off the hook.
Million dollar 2bdr/1bth frame, ticky tacky homes do well in earthquakes .... it's the brick and mortar buildings that fail .... and government bridges and freeways ?
- "Ticky tacky" ah ha, you've been watching Weeds

I cannot remember the name of the woman who made that song popular back in the....60's? Or mebbe the Mama' & Papa's?
Anyone recall her name?
"Her" name?
The song was "Little Boxes" - written by Malvina Renolds, but sung (made popular) by Pete Seeger.
"...And they all, get put in boxes little boxes just the same. There's a blue one, and a green one, a pink one and a yellow one..."

It's all those illegals in Cali now. They're gonna flip over the conrinent and shit.

No its me being kinda pissed, private joke whoa! Bad day at work... Just warming up!
Earthquakes, wildfires, and floods, oh my. Snide-r adds around two bits of info and 209 kilobits of entropy to this site.

Why can't they have a good ol' fashioned Plague O' Frogs? I like frogs.
Currently, they're all running for President. Plague enough for you? : )
Actually, there's a bigger context to this. For example, although the USGS is reporting only ONE 4.0 earthquake in Mexico, there have really been THIRTY or more. Why the government censorship? You tell me. However, M. T. Keshe, the Iranian nuclear physicist, has recently been saying that that a catastrophic break between the North and South American plates is due to take place --probably in the vicinity of Panama-- either this Fall or the Fall of 2016 (the relative magnetic positioning between the Earth and the Sun plays a crucial role) The size of this quake will register anywhere between 10 and 20 on the Richter scale, killing tens of millions instantly, but then causing enormous tsunamis that will wipe out just as many more on each coast of the U.S.
I'm no christian, but the evidence that this is no joke is, in fact, growing. Unfortunately, the U.S. is redacting any kind of bad news, no matter what department it falls under, and falsifying data for everything from the BLS or the weather (chemtrails) or Fukushima radiation on the West Coast.
But a catastrophe of this size would finally and reasonably explain all the massive preparations for disaster by the government that most of us have witnessed in recent years.
Uh, someone has been watching "San Andreas" and admiring The Rock!
What if California doesnt get the rain they supposed think will get during winter? Better hypothetical.... Besides quakes and the largest porn industry.
Maybe the price of a head of iceberg lettuce will double?
Dude!.
Surfing the pole shift, baby.
It's gonna be friggin' awesome.
No city water, no electrical grid and no local grocery store. Yeah, it'll be awesome to dump the pets you can no longer feed, just before watching your kids slowly starve to death or writhe in pain from a dental infection you can do nothing about...
Yeah, Awesome!
"it'll be awesome to dump the pets you can no longer feed, just before watching your kids slowly starve to death"
Ummm... pardon me, but why "dump" the pets if you need to feed the kids? Ever hear the phrase, "tastes like chicken?" Ummm... dog! CAT! (I have it on good authority that cat tastes a lot like rabbit - only sweeter.)
At least the multi-mullion dollar homes won't be littering the beach.
Get away from that iceberg lettuce!
Ya gotta be properly suited up to touch it!
Max Zorin must be behind this!
Where is Roger Moore (the best 007) when you need him?

You've got to be a real moron and an idiot to be freaked out by a swarm of small earthquakes. This is the best possible way to relieve stress on the fault line. The energy that would have built up to a huge earthquate dissipates and only makes it possible that there will be a large one instead.
The US military dropped 50 tons of ammo, unfortunately it was SLIGHTLY off target....but at least it got dropped in the right hemisphere...NICE work, guys!
I predict a 7.0 or greater will strike California by the end on this year. You heard it here first.
PS. cocksucker in chief will blame guns and call for confiscation
One question. Can someone tell me when that once in 100yr solar flare will happen and fry all the electronics? Especially the backup generators meant to supply cooling for the nuclear waste that sitting all over the place instead of deep in a mountain in Nevada? Thanks Harry Reid.

The "super storm" mentioned in the first link was a huge CME (Coronal Mass Ejection" that was larger than the "carrington event" that shook up so much of the world back in the 1800s. We're long overdue for a big one. If you want to track solar storms, go here: http://www.spaceweather.com/
maybe its just common core fucking up the math again
And when has Cali EVER been so DRY for so long?.
ever is a long long time. SoCal used to be mostly desertas recently as the 1700 & maybe 1800s.
Could the casue of the quakes be due to the collapsing aquafer? The valley has sunk several feet. Just askin....
Volcano is the next disaster foisted upon Cali?
Bullish for WTI as all the California refineries will go offline.
"'Tis better to have a lot of small quakes, than a few gigantic ones." ~ Unknown
More quakes west of the Salton Sea, on or near the south end of the San Andreas. A bunch near Mammoth Lakes aka volcano. A bunch near Ridgecrest but that could just be the Naval Weapons Center testing the new Earthshaker bomb like the one we just used in Afghanistan.
But really, the San Andreas has been quite calm since Stanford very cleverly built the Stanford Linear Accelerator right over the damn fault in 1962, apparently shooting 50GeV up your wazoo helps keep things quiet, unles you're Bruce Banner.
the developing hurricane pattern worries me more. (this time its Patricia) the possibility of a change in the way these storms develop could turn california into the same hurricane alley they have on the east coast. they're not ready for that. earthquake faults move all the time, but occassionally the plates catch then pop it moves a few inches, but the process is steady. the notion you havent had an earthquake in a while and youre due is pretty accurate, if only the federal reserve could fix that we would be fine
this is fight club!. NO EARTHQUAKES
Source article states that these earthquakes drought, etc. are punishment for Planned Parenthood "preserving the skulls of aborted fetuses."
Slim pickins today?

Edit
Sounds more like native advertising for the DVD release of San Andreas.
