Yesterday Alaska and Western Canada, Today’s 3.0 Earthquakes Magnitude Strikes Los Angeles and Santa Monica

A  Magnitude 3.0 earthquake struck Santa Monica and Los Angeles, CA at about 1:28 EASTERN U.S. Time on May 2  (10:28 PM local time on May 1).  According to the US Geological Survey, the quake occurred at a shallow depth of only 8.7km, which means it was widely felt.

This comes after two “severe” earthquakes – Magnitudes 6.2 and 6.5 — struck in southeastern Alaska beginning at 8:30 AM eastern time on May 1, which set-off a “swarm” of at least NINETY-THREE additional earthquakes in the area between Alaska, the Yukon and British Columbia Canada throughout Monday.  Those severe earthquakes are directly related to this morning’s earthquake in Los Angeles because they all involve the regions where the Pacific Ocean Tectonic Plate meets the North American Tectonic Plate.  

KNBC-TV reports the quake was “felt by over 1,000 people” but says no damage or injuries are reported at this time.  The TV station also posted an image of their seismograph showing what the quake looked like in geologic measurements:

The major concern now is whether or not the ongoing seismic activity in southeastern Alaska has “shaken-loose” the rest of the west coast, and if Los Angeles or San Francisco may possibly be heading for “the big one?”

Residents on the west coast are urged to have emergency water, canned foods, flashlights, a portable radio and plenty of spare batteries to be prepared.

THE U.S. GOVERNMENT AND LARGE CORPORATIONS ARE SO CONCERNED ABOUT THE POTENTIAL FOR A MAJOR NEW MADRID EARTHQUAKE THAT THEY HAVE HELD MAJOR EXERCISES THAT SIMULATE ONE.

An ocean data buoy is alerting to an “event” in the Cascadia Subduction Zone off the west coast of Oregon. This is where a magnitude 9 earthquake hit in 1700.

According to the data buoy, the water column height (depth) fell sharply within minutes off the coast of Oregon, signaling the land beneath the ocean has suddenly “sunk.”   Here are the graphs showing what the ocean data buoy recorded:

As of 0231:30, the initial water column height is 2738.80 Meters deep (8985.56 feet).  Two minutes and thirty seconds later, that same water column height had dropped to 2738.66 Meters deep (8985.10 feet).  Where did the four inches of water disappear to?  Answer:  The earth sunk; and continued to sink for the next several HOURS.  As you can see from the second chart above, from 0230 GMT to 0600 GMT, the ocean continued to sink to 2737.7 meters deep (8981.95 feet).  The buoy is too far away from shore to be affected by high/low tide, so where did the four feet of ocean water disappear to?

This means a Tectonic Plate in the Ocean named the “Juan de Fuca Plate” has made a sudden, eastward movement and slipped beneath another Tectonic Plate named the “North American Plate.” This type of event is usually followed by a massive upward movement of the North American Plate causing a very severe earthquake.

Here’s a map of the relevant Tectonic Plates:

In the year 1700, a similar movement of plates is believed to have been the cause of a Magnitude 9.0 earthquake, which devastated the west coast of north America, and generated an ocean Tsunami that washed inland upwards of ten MILES!

FOUR MEAGER FEET OF WATER? 

Lest you think that four feet of ocean depth is nothing to be concerned about, be reminded that the entire column of water . . . all 8985 feet of it . . . is what dropped four feet.  And it did so over an area several miles wide!

When the tectonic plate snaps back upward, it can launch that entire 8985 foot column of water upward and toward the shore!

As the continental shelf rises toward the shore (the ocean gets more shallow) that 8985 foot column of water starts accumulating upon itself as it moves toward shore, becoming one massive wave, perhaps 45-50 feet tall, that hits the shore for twenty minutes!

Now do you see why this is a big deal?

If such a thing were to happen today, hundreds-of-thousands of people would be killed as a fifteen meter (45 foot) wall of water came ashore well inland passing Interstate 5 and destroying everything its path from the beach to Interstate 5.

Here is a map of I-5, everything to the left of it (to the west) would be wiped out:
