Powerful Tonga earthquake and prediction March 19, 2009

It will be interesting to see if all of these links work.

In the following post it was stated that I was in the process of preparing an earthquake advisory.

On March 18 I circulated a formal earthquake warning to earthquake researchers and disaster mitigation personnel around the world. The following are some of the files that were linked with that warning.

The effort to circulate that warning took so long that there wasn’t time to post another more detailed warning here or to the Newsgroups about the expected earthquake.

A 7.9 magnitude earthquake has now occurred in the Tonga area,.

On the following Web page there is a discussion of the devastating January 26, 2001 India earthquake.

It proposes that at times, multiple fault zones can be involved with the generation of the EM signals being used with my earthquake forecasting computer program. And that causes problems for that location determination capabilities of my forecasting program.

It will take some time to determine if that was the case here. If so then the Tonga earthquake might have been the primary one responsible for global electromagnetic energy fields associated with the EM signals. And presently active fault zones possibly in the Puerto Rico area were the secondary fault zones that were actually controlling the times when the signals were generated.

The warning that I circulated advised other forecasters to begin checking their own data to see if an earthquake might be approaching. The Tonga earthquake apparently occurred out in the ocean. And I would expect that the only detectable precursors might have been some EM signals or perhaps an Earthquake Cloud in the area.

Refinements might eventually be added to the earthquake forecasting computer program to make it possible to distinguish between seismic activity in those primary and secondary fault zones.
