Important Takeaways:
- 400 earthquakes recorded under Mount St. Helens since mid-July
- Scientist says small quakes signal volcano is ‘recharging’
- About 400 earthquakes have rumbled under Mount St. Helens since mid-July, the largest chain of shakes since the volcano finished erupting in 2008, the U.S. Geological Survey reported last week.
- Small magnitude earthquakes, detected only by sensitive equipment, signal a volcano’s “recharging” as magma flows through chambers and cracks deep under the ground, said Wes Thelen, U.S. Geological Survey Cascades Volcano Observatory geophysicist and seismologist.
- Between late August and early September, scientists observed 40 to 50 earthquakes per week located between 2.5 to 5 miles below the crater floor, before recently dwindling to 30. To compare, Mount St. Helens averaged roughly 11 quakes per month since 2008.

Important Takeaways:
- Earthquakes Are a Special Kind of Nightmare
- There is something uniquely nightmarish about major earthquakes that strike under or close to villages, towns, and cities
- Tragedies born of geologic forces can be simultaneously extreme and swift. Volcanic eruptions can produce rivers of scorching gas, ash, and debris that move at breathtaking speed, igniting and scouring anything in their path. Tsunamis—caused by the dramatic twitching of tectonic plates and their faults, or by immense landslides, or by volcanic explosions—can, and have, effortlessly swept entire towns and villages aside in a matter of minutes.
- The essentially immediate, invisible arrival of an earthquake is almost supernatural. Science tells us that earthquakes arise from the sudden release of energy accumulated over years, decades, or centuries.
- A tsunami voyaging quickly across the ocean will set off alarms in distant countries, giving those who receive the warning some time to flee or brace themselves.
- Volcanoes usually give off warning signs hours, days, sometimes even months or years in advance that an eruption is likely on its way.
- But we currently do not have any way to know when the next significant earthquake will strike, precisely where it will strike, how powerful it will be, how much shaking it will cause, or what kind of damage it will do.

Important Takeaways:
- PHIVOLCS: Mayon volcanic earthquakes up, lava flows ‘bulked up’
- Slow effusion of lava from Mayon Volcano’s crater continued to feed and bulk up established lava flows amid an increase in volcanic earthquakes, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) said Wednesday.
- “Respectively, these lava flows have maintained distal lengths of approximately 2.8 kilometers, 2.4 kilometers and 600 meters from the crater,” it said.
- PHIVOLCS also recorded 304 volcanic earthquakes and 137 rockfall events over the past 24 hours. The number of volcanic earthquakes was higher compared to the 267 recorded the previous day.
- Three pyroclastic density currents (PDCs) and 30 ashing events that lasted 20 to 40 seconds were also recorded.
- “The combined seismic energy release of these, however, has not increased beyond the trend of effusive activity,” PHIVOLCS said.
- “Alert Level 3 is maintained over Mayon Volcano, which means that it is currently in a relatively high level of unrest as magma is at the crater and hazardous eruption within weeks or even days is possible,” PHIVOLCS said.

Important Takeaways:
- Virginia Quakes May be ‘Foreshock’ for Something Bigger
- A series of six small earthquakes in Virginia since mid-June has left scientists concerned a larger event may be inbound, with Virginia Tech geophysics professor Martin Chapman warning: “When you see a series of these things in a smaller area, you have to take into account the fact that they may be foreshocks of a bigger earthquake.”
- The “burst of activity”, as Chapman put it, is unusual in the Old Dominion, with Virginians typically feeling only two or three earthquakes per year.
- “We [need to] take a close look at it and… monitor our instruments a little bit closer to make sure that we’re not missing any more little earthquakes, because if you see a continuous sequence that’s something that you have to pay attention to,” the professor explained.
- Virginia suffered its most powerful earthquake since the 19th century in 2011. The 5.8 magnitude quake inflicted up to $300 million in cost on the state and nearby Washington D.C., with homes and schools demolished, a nuclear power plant forced to shut down, and the Washington Monument and National Cathedral suffering serious structural damage.
- The 2011 quake was not predictable, however, with no “foreshocks” observed before it hit.

Important Takeaways:
- Multiple Earthquakes Strike Eastern U.S. in Recent Days, Missouri to New Jersey, New York to Ohio Rattled
- It’s been seismically active in the eastern half of the United States in recent days, with two earthquakes hitting New York, one in Ohio, one in Arkansas, and two in Tennessee.
- Even Canada got into the action, with an earthquake hitting in Ontario province north and west over the border from New York state’s latest quake.
- A large population has been rattled by these quakes, with hundreds of reports coming into USGS from people feeling shaking in Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee, Ohio, New York, Connecticut, and New Jersey.
- Hundreds of people used the USGS website and their “Did you feel it?” web reporting tool to report shaking they felt the early morning earthquake that struck the Hastings-on-Hudson area of New York, just outside of New York City and across the Hudson River from New Jersey.
- According to USGS, a magnitude 2.6 earthquake struck outside of Toledo in northwestern Ohio at 8:17 pm. The Friday evening earthquake generated dozens of reports to USGS’s website and the “Did you feel it?” reporting tool they feature on it. Shaking was felt throughout the Toledo area as well as Perrysburg and Bowling Green, Ohio.

Important Takeaways:
- Hundreds of shallow earthquakes detected along California coast during 8-month study
- California is experiencing a record number of earthquakes. In Long Beach and Seal Beach areas, seismologists recorded a thousand tiny tremors over eight months. The majority were shallow quakes reaching depths less than two kilometers below the surface.
- This past earthquake was six to 10 kilometers deep — far greater than the shallow ones seen today. However, constant shallow earthquakes could build up and create possibilities for an earthquake that reaches the surface. The regulatory zone surrounding the surface of active faults, called the Alquist-Priolo zone, span a minimum of 50 feet.
- “The surprising aspect is the relative number of shallow events,” says Yan Yang, a Caltech researcher…
- The study also identified new faults between the Los Alamitos Fault and the Newport-Inglewood Fault and north of the Garden Grove Fault. None of the small shallow earthquakes detected in the study were the result of oil and gas activity

- HUNDREDS of earthquakes detected Alaska volcano that has been dormant since 1914: Officials warn an eruption threatens air travel
- The Alaska Volcano Observatory raised the alert level to advisory status for Tanaga Volcano after detecting hundreds of earthquakes over the past few weeks.
- If the volcano were to erupt, the biggest threat would be to aircraft, as jets use the region as a route between North America and Asia.
- The swarm consisted of small quakes concentrated beneath the summit, but none had been more than magnitude 2.75.
- However, experts said this was enough to signal unrest.
- We started seeing a whole lot of earthquakes occurring, one after the other, several per minute.
- Tanaga Island lies in the Andreanof Islands, approximately 62 miles west of the community of Adak and 1,260 miles southwest of Anchorage.

Important Takeaways:
- Russia State TV Discusses Nuclear Strike on Yellowstone Volcano
- During a recent broadcast on Russian state-run TV, a pundit discussed the possibility of Russia using a nuclear Sarmat missile to strike a volcano in Yellowstone National Park.
- During the appearance on Solovyov’s show, Sivkov also spoke about the possibility of Russia’s military trying to start an earthquake before shifting back to the talk of waking up volcanoes.
- He said Russia’s powerful Belgorod submarine is currently in the Pacific Ocean and pointed out California’s San Andreas and San Jacinto faults are located near the sea.
- “And these faults, if activated, they can trigger the activation of the entire arc of fire of the Pacific Ocean,” Sivkov said, according to Gerashchenko’s translation. “Which includes these faults, then comes Yellowstone, then comes the Aleutian Grid volcanoes…”
- Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday said during an address that his country “will pay increased attention to strengthening” its nuclear missiles based on land, sea and in the air, according to Reuters. He also reportedly said RS-28 Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missiles would be deployed this year.
