Dr. Jeff Masters' WunderBlog

Hehe... got to head out as I need to get to work. I'll be lurking from time to time. Have a nice day.

looking at the model runs looks like the Northeast and most of the EC will see winds and cold weather for the forecasted future. Seeing a Low develope and race north while a high is set up over the ohio valley, should make for a tight pressure gradiant so a cold north wind.

Quoting WxLogic:
346. Thunder...

Hope you like snow... :P

I am only expecting to get between 6 and 12 inches that is like a normal winter couple of days

CONUS in the freezer next two weeks.

Quoting bollidear:
Is something lurking out there? Woken up by crashing waves and a 32mph wind form the North - a little odd for Grand Cayman. Ideas anyone?

I take it you have not been in Grand Cayman too long. This is how cold fronts affect us. Some can and do just as much damage as a hurricane. Especially on the waterfront in George Town.

from looking at the scientific data I am wondering if a tsunami was generated. The tensor data was a true thrust fault EQ.

Reported shake map shows some folks reported violent shaking.

good morning all another major earthqk over there in indo

7.5 and alot of 5 in the area.....while nothing big is happening along the East Pacific.....looks scary when pressure is released somewhere pressure is built......

new EQ at the North Pole

HOWEVER AT SOME COASTS, PARTICULARLY THOSE NEAR THE EPICENTER, HIGHER
TSUNAMIS MAY ARRIVE EARLIER THAN OUR ESTIMATION AT THE NEARBY
FORECAST POINTS
AUTHORITIES SHOULD BE AWARE OF THIS POSSIBILITY

FURTHERMORE THE EVALUATION OF TSUNAMIGENIC POTENTIAL AND ESTIMATED
ARRIVAL TIME OF TSUNAMIS MAY BE DIFFERENT FROM THOSE OF PTWC
DUE TO DIFFERENCES IN THE ESTIMATED EARTHQUAKE PARAMETERS
AUTHORITIES SHOULD USE THE EARLIEST ARRIVAL TIMES FOR
GREATEST SAFETY

THIS WILL BE THE FINAL BULLETIN UNLESS THERE ARE CHANGES ABOUT THE
POTENTIAL OF TSUNAMI GENERATION BY RE-EVALUATION OF THE EARTHQUAKE
OR THERE ARE REPORTS ON TSUNAMI OBSERVATIONS

I just added a Tsunami Warning to my blog thats stays updated with a link..

San Diego area, really closer to the Palomar Observatory, had a 4.1 recently as well.

looking around the net no reports of a tsunami, alot of damage though and a few deaths and numerous injuries.

Morning everyone, 33 F in Macon, Ga , good thing we covered the veggie garden last night, humidity is at 89%, yard was all frosty white this morning! Whats up with the earth shaking all over the world?

alot of 5s going off this morning. Earth must be stretching a little

as I am watching the EQ map new EQs popping up all over the place LOL 3.3 just went off in Nevada

wierd.. looking at a recent EQ list seems like something is up at The Geysers, CA

a 1.8, 1.2, now a 2.5 also getting shallower to 3.1, 3.4, 1.2 respectively

Bonedog i have had my concern along the West coast for some time now from lack of activity. Where pressure is released in one place creates tension and pressure somewhere else......

NEW BLOG!

We had friends that used to live in Laguna Beach, Ca and we went out there to visit one summer. We were sitting at the breakfast table one morning when all the dishes and glasses in the house started to make noise, my wife and I held on to the table while our friends got big grins on their faces and said "don't panic, its just a little trembler", it happens all the time! My wife looked at me at almost the same instant and we both said We are out of here!!!
