Kermadec Islands and Turkey Earthquakes – October 25, 2011

The following powerful earthquakes recently occurred. The one in Turkey is reported to have claimed hundreds of lives.

2011/10/23 10:41:21 38.62N 43.48E 20 7.2 Eastern Turkey
2011/10/21 17:57:17 28.99S 176.18W 33 7.4 Kermadec Islands Region

EarthWaves visitors can scan down a few threads and see that I posted an earthquake advisory on October 20, 2011. The last warning posted here before that one was on September 11, 2011. So, these are not regular events.

My data analyses indicate to me that the EM Signal that the October 20 advisory was based on was probably linked with the Kermadec Islands earthquake rather than the one in Turkey. However, my recent forecast charts did show line peaks around the 43 E area where that Turkey earthquake occurred. (See the orange circled area on the chart below.) And I have been looking over my data to see when the EM Signals responsible for those line peaks were actually detected.

Preliminary analyses indicate that the most recent Turkey earthquake related EM Signals were probably generated some three weeks and longer before the earthquake actually occurred. More information will likely be posted here about those signals if time permits.

One of my research colleagues reported hearing a strong Ear Tone the day before the Turkey earthquake. And my analysis of his data indicate to me that there is a high probability that the Ear Tone he heard was in fact associated with that approaching earthquake.

EARTHQUAKE FORECASTING POLITICS

In the past I have stated that I feel that the main problems associated with earthquake forecasting are political rather than technical. And it might be necessary to seek political type solutions for those problems.

I recently had a brief, personal meeting with one of the most influential science policy makers in the U.S. Ordinarily I communicate with those people by letter and Fax etc. U.S. general science, economic, and foreign policy topics were discussed rather than earthquake forecasting. But forecasting likely will be discussed in detail if and when there is another meeting.

These are personal opinions.
