27 Feb 11 - 07:22 AM (#3103482) Subject: Earthquakes in Iceland -Reykjavík From: skarpi well now since midnight we have had over 300 earthquakes near our Capital , her is a map , sorry I seem not to learn how to do the blue clický :O) its always a failer. http://www.vedur.is/skjalftar-og-eldgos/jardskjalftar/reykjanesskagi so I hope its not gonna be more strong ones , the last one was little over 4 on richter scale , but its more on the map where you see the green stars , well there is only 2 to 4 km down to magma so it could end up with a eruption with lava.....so we cross our fingers now . all the best Skarpi |

Talking to Chris Foster and Bára Grímsdóttir about Icelandic volcanoes and earthquakes last night. Some of Bára's stories were terrifying. They are on their way to Abergavenny at the moment. I wonder if they know. |

27 Feb 11 - 05:59 PM (#3103873) Subject: RE: Earthquakes in Iceland -Reykjavík From: SINSULL Stay safe, Skarpi. Must be a bit unsettling to have your house moving around like that. And give Spaw's suggestion of that Jamaica beach a thought, although they have hurricanes. Be well my friend Mary |

27 Feb 11 - 06:19 PM (#3103881) Subject: RE: Earthquakes in Iceland -Reykjavík From: skarpi hahahaha Sorcha , there is no way we can made earthquake in 4 or more on richter , the man made earthquakes are made there the power plant is on Hellisheiði , where this is going on there is no power plant , and Sorcha I am not in denial ....:O)so we even make the magma come up as Sorcha ?? no there is only 2 km down to the magma Sorcha , and there is a change that the magma will come up this time Sorcha ...and its not made by man and either is Eyjafjalla jölull or VAtnajökull the there is crowing fast and there are more earthquakes .. So Sorcha don´t tell me what is man made or not I watch this every day I live only few km from a volcano ...and there a lot of faults near by home . all the best Skarpi |

27 Feb 11 - 07:05 PM (#3103896) Subject: RE: Earthquakes in Iceland -Reykjavík From: SINSULL A GOOGLE search brings up several reports about the recent spate of quakes including the man made ones created by pumping cold water into the ground. All reports clearly state that although geologists were able to track the man made quakes, they were not large enough to be felt in homes around the area. Sorch is an expert on denial, Skarpi. You are not. Listen to those who are concerned about your well being and stay observant and safe. Katla is just about due to make herself known I believe. Iceland's beauty depends upon Mother Nature's occasional hissyfits. Mary |

27 Feb 11 - 08:59 PM (#3103954) Subject: RE: Earthquakes in Iceland -Reykjavík From: Rapparee And I'm currently at a hotel at the Old Faithful geyser in Yellowstone, in the middle of the Yellowstone Supervolcano Caldera. Like Skarpi, we who live in this area live with volcanoes and earthquakes every day...you can't worry about it because if she blows there's not much you're going to be able to do about it. When, not if, Yellowstone blows it's going to kill agriculture worldwide for a generation and probably cover 1/3 of the US with ash. Of course, it all depends on the magnitude of the blow-off. Skarpi, keep your get-away kit handy and you know, this is all Iceland needs on top of the economic mess. You sure you don't want to come live here? |

27 Feb 11 - 10:28 PM (#3103975) Subject: RE: Earthquakes in Iceland -Reykjavík From: Gurney Skarpi, on the TV there was a guy in Christchurch who calms his kids in the aftershocks of this nasty lot they are enduring. He tells them it is just the earth farting. The kids are delighted and run around shouting "The Earth if farting, the Earth is farting..." |

21 May 11 - 07:00 PM (#3158399) Subject: RE: Earthquakes in Iceland -Reykjavík From: Donuel The state of Maine is shaking and making gun shot like sounds as thousands of mini surface quakes are going off. This is supposedly due to the crust spring back from the 2 miles of ice that pressed down on Maine just 12,000 years ago. Why a bit more quakes than usual? Why is Mars and even Jupiter and Saturn on a warming trend? Why is the general wierdness factor seemingly going up? You know how the galaxy is like a spiraled disk? The Solar system rotates around the Milky Way in a tilted orbit that goes slightly above the disk to slightly below every52 million years or so. Right now we have come from "below" into the region which is level with the most averaged mass in the outer spiral disk. In other words we are in the thick of it. Be it ordinary matter or hyperdimensional dark matter or something else the whole solar system is now going through and somehow interacting with more "stuff" than we usually do. THis might just be enough to loosen tectonic plates or add a bit more gravity to interact with the Earth. This is purely my own speculation but it seems pure enough to be true. |

21 May 11 - 07:08 PM (#3158405) Subject: RE: Earthquakes in Iceland -Reykjavik From: Donuel In another 100 years or so we will all be on the up side of the Milky Way orbit and things will settle down a bit. note: If you are not here 100 years from now you probably just missed the immortality gene therapy and growth hormone regeime that will bring the rest of us back to an average vitality of a 42 year old person. You will have to be no older than 52 today and live into your 80's to be around to benefit from the future immortality treatments, which only lasts an average of 200 to 300 years to your normal life expectancy. Nothin lasts forever. |
