Natural gas is holding its price as the East becomes warmer. Lots of fresh water frack waste being injected in OK. This week has seen lots of m5's and 6's. The seismic energy release is at a high rate. We need to keep this up for a month in order to have a chance for an M7. Earlier in the year we had high natgas prices and a 2 week thaw. Much energy released then, but it stopped dead.
The current earthquake series are nearly-identical deep normal earthquakes. For every 5 to 10 m5's we'll get an m6. These earthquakes are being underrated because most of the seismic energy is being directed down into the Earth. Nevertheless, they are all part of the mechanism. Time for another vlog!
Today we had another m5 totally identical to the others. The town must prepare for a shallow thrust m6 with all the energy directed at it, like it happened to another town last year. An m7 has 30 times more energy, so that's 30 towns. :)
**
m6 thrust - PGV of 20 cm/s affecting one town
m7 - pgv of 40 cm/s over the state and felt in Boston
m7.5 (probable max) - pgv of 80 cm/s and ringing the bells of Boston, sloshing high-rise fish tanks in Toronto
