Puerto Rico and now this When they were hitting Puerto Rico, I saw reports of how the island sits right on to of a fault line that's been very active for the past month. Geologists are studying why the earthquakes are continuing to hit like they are. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/2020/01/why-so-many-puerto-rico-earthquakes-have-happened-geology/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Not A Rockstar Posted January 28, 2020 #5 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Natgeo seems to think I need to subscribe to read more of their stuff and so I only got the first paragraph, but, I am still curious what has got the faults down there messing around and now hitting Jamaica. Poor Haiti just does not need more grief like this, anywhere near to it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+susieice Posted January 29, 2020 Author #11 Share Posted January 29, 2020 (edited) Most articles are rating the Cayman Island quake as a 6.5. I'm not sure if this is considered an aftershock, but it may be as it didn't surpass the 7.7 in Jamaica and is in the same general area. https://www.fox10phoenix.com/news/6-5-earthquake-shakes-cayman-islands-following-powerful-7-7-temblor-between-cuba-jamaica Edited January 29, 2020 by susieice 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puerto Rico seldom gets earthquakes and now they've been getting them daily since December 28th. Big ones too! Now these two, and they aren't little shakers. What is going on? Those plates are really active! Geology doesn't move this fast! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many people died in this quake? Would you like to see the command line sequence before the great earthquake, which struck Port-au-Prince in Haiti, in 2010? A heads up when 200,000 souls are about to die, is unwelcome? When Mt, Everest and Nepal were shaken in 2015, and 9,000 died, was there a warning issued here? Indeed, “a mountain in the sky was not beyond our reach.” The question we should be asking, is what is connected to the plate which is rupturing underneath the Caribbean? What clues might this be giving us, about what will happen in far more populated areas, when far more lives are at risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another plate, when two plates are pushing against each other sooner or later one will give and allow the other to slip under it or over it. Simple plate tectonics and nothing more.

+and-then Posted January 29, 2020 #19 Share Posted January 29, 2020 I had no idea that there were any plates so close to the U.S. on the eastern side. The only one I was aware of is the New Madrid. I wonder if this fault is a part of those same plates? If these are related and this was a preshock... wow. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never claimed to be some sort of prophet or whatever but of the few horrifically real visions of violence and end times, I have seen an EQ event in the New Madrid fault area that makes the original EQ look like a minor event. It is one of the most terrifying … dreams? Visions? I have ever had and that was over a decade ago I saw it and I am feeling anxiety over this series we have been seeing because of it. Having no clue why I would be shown anything of the sort, I keep it as a mere dream, but, it was not a dream type of thing. So, I have blocked it out as much as I can. No answer for it, just this worries me is all. (sceptics just leave me alone and blame it on my PTSD. I am not trying to say anything beyond the literal words, as there is nothing more to be said except I had a dream, repeated over three nights that still troubles me at times like this). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The article I was reading said (If I understood it right) that the Carib plate there is rising and the other two above and below are shifting under it. But, it makes me wish to know why so much so recently is all. I have a lot of friends in Haiti and they just have so little left to lose. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golden Duck Posted January 29, 2020 #25 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Quote The 1692 Jamaica earthquake struck Port Royal, Jamaica on 7 June. A stopped pocket watch found in the harbour in 1959[2][3][4] indicated that it occurred around 11:43 a.m.[5] Known as the "storehouse and treasury of the West Indies", and as "one of the wickedest places on Earth", it was, at the time, the unofficial capital of Jamaica, one of the busiest and wealthiest ports in the West Indies, and a common home port for many of the privateers and pirates operating within the Caribbean Sea. The earthquake caused most of the city to sink below sea level. About 2,000 people died as a result of the earthquake and the following tsunami; and, about another 3,000 people died in the days following the earthquakes, due to injuries and disease.[5] Tectonic setting The island of Jamaica lies on the boundary between the Caribbean Plate and the Gonâve Microplate. The Gonâve microplate is a 1,100 km (680 mi) long strip of mainly oceanic crust formed by the Cayman spreading ridge within a strike-slip pull-apart basin on the northern transform margin of the Caribbean Plate with the North American Plate.[6] Jamaica was formed by uplift associated with a restraining bend along this strike-slip structure.[7] The focal mechanisms of earthquakes around Jamaica are primarily sinistral strike-slip along WSW-ENE trending faults and minor reverse or thrust motion on NW-SE trending faults.[6] The 1692 event is thought to have occurred on one of these strike-slip faults. Characteristics[edit] Earthquake[edit] ... The estimated size of the event was 7.5 on the moment magnitude scale.[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1692_Jamaica_earthquake#Tectonic_setting 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
