Fracking lancashire earthquake

The exact location of the tremors, according to the British Geological Survey.
A tremor measuring 1.5 magnitude has forced Cuadrilla to halt fracking at the Lancashire site.

The British Geological Survey (BGS) recorded a series of tremors this morning at the controversial fracking site at Preston New Road, Little Plumpton.

Nine tremors were detected at the site within 90 minutes this morning, with the latest tremor measuring a magnitude of 1.5 - three times the legal limit.

According to the BGS database, the 1.5 magnitude tremor is the largest detected at the site since monitoring began. It has been claimed the tremor was felt in the Blackpool area.

The nine tremors recorded today are also the most recorded at the site in a single day.

Comment: The citizens of Lancashire voted against fracking but the vote was overturned by local and national government powers. It remains to be seen what calamity needs to occur before people make a stand or forces the establishment to halt the process.

Laura Knight-Jadczyk and Pierre Lescaudron editors at SOTT Media and authors of "Earth Changes and the Human Cosmic Connection: The Secret History of the World" with ADAPT 2030 (David DuByne) compare what they see in the news as distraction for increasing food prices and societal changes as our Earth shifts to a cooler climate as the Eddy Grand Solar Minimum intensifies, a 400-year cycle in our Sun which will affect crop production, the economy and everyone on our planet. This is a timeline for what you can expect from now to 2030 as the frequency from our Sun changes.

Topics from the Interview:
  • Energetic changes being felt across our planet and how this relates to a lower activity in the Sun
  • Electric Universe
  • Jet Stream meanderings
  • Gulf Stream slow-down
  • Hurricane intensity on century cycles
  • Earthquakes
  • Magnetic field changes on Earth as the Suns magnetic field changes
  • Volcanic eruptions
  • Meteor fireballs
  • Tornadoes
  • Deluges and Atmospheric Compression events
  • Sinkholes
  • Victor Clube and space debris intensifying

A 6.2 magnitude quake has hit the South Pacific French territory of New Caledonia
A strong earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 6.2 struck east of the Loyalty Islands near New Caledonia in the South Pacific on Friday, the US Geological Survey said.

The quake hit at a depth of 26km (16 miles) about 189km (117 miles) east-southeast of Tadine in the Loyalty Islands, the USGS said.

There were no immediate warnings from the Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre.

It follows a powerful 7.6 quake that hit near New Caledonia on Wednesday.

New Caledonia earthquake evacuations: The country was hit by a 7.6 magnitude earthquake on Wednesday
Tsunami waves have been spotted after a powerful undersea earthquake in New Caledonia in the South Pacific.

Evacuations were ordered after hazardous waves up to three metres tall were expected to rise following the 7.6 magnitude quake on Wednesday.

People on the east coast have been told to retreat at least 300m from the shore and to get to ground at least 12m in altitude.

The quake struck about 104 miles east of Tadine at a shallow depth of six miles, according to the US Geological Survey.

"Tsunami waves reaching 1 to 3 metres above the tide level are possible along some coasts of New Caledonia and Vanuatu," the Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre said.

M4.5 earthquake and aftershock in B.C., Canada, "very likely" caused by fracking

The location of the Nov. 29, 2018 earthquake near Fort St. John, B.C.
An earthquake that struck northeastern B.C. on Thursday evening was "very likely" caused by fracking, a preliminary investigation has found.

Earthquakes Canada said the quake had a preliminary magnitude of 4.5, with the epicentre about 16 kilometres southwest of Fort St. John.

It hit around 5 p.m. PT, followed by another tremor of similar magnitude, classified as an aftershock, less than an hour later.

Comment: This quake is reported to have occurred around 5pm, and earlier in the day, at around 8am, Alaska was hit with a strong M7. And so, when we considering the evidence linking fracking induced earthquake activity, along with the 2000% increase in major earthquakes since the 1900s, the rise in sinkholes, landslides and so on, it's clear society is suicidal in its pursuit of profit.

Unstable planet: Is the giant 7.0 earthquake in Anchorage, Alaska a precursor to a devastating convulsion in the west coast?

Anchorage quake
We just got more evidence that our planet is becoming increasingly unstable. On Friday a magnitude 7.0 earthquake destroyed homes, ripped apart roads and destroyed infrastructure all throughout Anchorage, Alaska. According to the USGS, the earthquake hit at 8:29 AM and the epicenter was approximately 7 miles north of Anchorage. That quake was followed by a highly destructive magnitude 5.7 aftershock just a little while later. Alaska Governor Bill Walker has declared a state of emergency, and the entire region is in a state of chaos. Unfortunately, as global seismic activity continues to increase, more quakes like this are inevitable. Like Alaska, the entire west coast of the United States sits directly along the "Ring of Fire", and many have warned that "the Big One" is coming sooner rather than later.

Tonight, large numbers of Anchorage residents are suddenly homeless, and that includes Alaska's most famous politician...
Light fixtures fell, glass shattered, roadways and supermarket aisles were awash from food spilled from broken jars. Video images showed some roadways had collapsed. One man tweeted a photo of his toppled chimney and a local television station showed its studio filled with debris.

Former Alaska governor and vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin tweeted, saying her family is intact but her "house is not."

Strange seismic event 'shook' the planet for 20 minutes on November 11 - And no one felt it

Seismic signals originating off the coast of the small French island of Mayott were detected at seismology station ranging from Chile to New Zealand.
Mysterious seismic waves picked up by monitoring stations from Madagascar to Canada were most likely caused by an underwater volcano, an earthquake expert claims.

A low-rumbling that could not be felt above ground was detected on November 11 and narrowed down the origin to a region just off the coast of the island of Mayotte.

They were similar to those typically seen after large earthquakes, which are known to travel great distances - but, no such earthquake took place.

Theories as to what caused the cryptic rumble ranged from a slow earthquake to an undetected meteor strike.


Comment: This has created a buzz in the scientific community, because seismic signals from earthquakes and volcanic eruption are 'spikier' and don't look 'harmonious' like this.
Strange seismic waves rippled around the world and scientists don't know why

Here in New Zealand, GeoNet seismologist John Ristau said he saw his contemporaries discussing the unusual activity on Twitter when it first happened.

"It is a very strange signal and it can be seen pretty much everywhere around the world. The signal is clearly not like a regular earthquake, it's more like a burst of energy."
Strange waves rippled around the world, and nobody knows why

Helen Robinson, a Ph.D. candidate in applied volcanology at the University of Glasgow: "They're too nice; they're too perfect to be nature," she joked. "What baffles me is how evenly spaced out they were," she said. "I have no idea how to explain that."

One segment of the signal also featured several high-frequency blips, each separated by roughly a minute of time, a bit like a regular, ticking clock. Stephen Hicks, a seismologist at the University of Southampton, highlighted the phenomenon in a November 12 tweet.

"Something biggggg, yet strangely slow, sent seismic rumblings around the surface of much of the planet yesterday," he wrote. [...]

"It's like a ringing bell. If you want to get a very low frequency, a very low tone, you need that bell to be huge," Ampuero explained.
It's gotta be something cosmic. Did Earth just get 'pinged'?! (And no, not by 'aliens' - rather, by something "bigggggg" but as yet unseen...)
