Indonesia Earthquake and likely relatively accurate EM Signal
Posted by EQF on April 3, 2011

The following fairly powerful earthquake has just occurred:

2011/04/03 20:06:42 9.78S 107.74E 24 6.7 Indonesia Area
NEIS Data

Reports are stating that Indonesia residents in some areas got quite upset when they felt it. However, it sounds like it was too far out in the ocean to do too much damage. A tsunami warning was reportedly circulated for that local area.

In the following EarthWaves posting I stated that a very strong EM Signal was detected at:

2011/03/31 12:34:00 UTC

I presently don’t usually provide any time window information with notices like that unless two strong EM Signals are detected within a few hours of one another. But in my own files I maintain an “expected date” column. And the expected date listed for that EM Signal was April 3, 2011.

Considering that information and the following, the probability is fairly high that the March 31 EM Signal was pointing to that earthquake.

If my URL for it is correct, the following chart shows how I determine which earthquake an EM Signal might have pointed to. It is easy to see that there are similar line peak structures for both the Indonesia earthquake and that recent strong EM Signal.

If that Indonesia earthquake had been triggered by forces that were the same as other earthquakes in my database file that occurred at 108 E then there would be a sharp line peak on the earthquake line at 108 E. The fact that this happens only a certain percentage of the time is presently probably the major limitation of my forecasting program. More accurate probability equations would likely help.
