Subject: Deadly Taiwan Earthquake - Apr. 3, 2024
|
Posted by EQF on April 3, 2024 There has just been an extremely powerful 7+ magnitude earthquake in Taiwan. I do not yet have any location data etc. for exactly when and where it occurred. LOW FATALITIES COUNT According to news reports that I have seen, less than a dozen people lost their lives, mostly the result of being hit by falling rocks etc. I have not yet heard of any fatalities associated with building collapses. However, there was one that was mentioned. Reportedly, a woman died in her residence after the earthquake when she went into the building in an attempt to save her pet cat. Something like 1000 people were injured. Something like 100 people were trapped in tunnels in the mountains or in rock quarries. WHAT TYPE OF EARTHQUAKE WAS IT? If people are reading any earthquake reports, one piece of information that they might post here is what TYPE of earthquake it was. None of the news reports that I saw contained that information. What it an earthquake where two tectonic plates are attempting to slip sideways past one another? Or was it an earthquake where two tectonic plates are pressing against one another with the result that one plate is forced down into the Earth's crust while the other might be lifted a bit? EM WARNING SIGNALS It will take me several days to go through my data and see if there were any strong EM Signals that were pointing to the approaching earthquake. There were some strong signals detected during the past week. But there were not near as many as what I would expect from a 7+ magnitude earthquake like that. Something I will be checking to see is if those extremely intense EM Signals that were detected last December 16, 2023 were pointing to that approaching earthquake. It would not surprise me to see that they were. But I will have to run everything through my computer programs. EARTHQUAKE FORECASTING COMPUTER PROGRAM I am planning to contact Taiwan government officials within a few days and strongly recommend that they work with me to get my Earthquake Forecasting Computer program translated from Perl to a more modern language so that researchers around the world can use it. TAIWAN COMPUTER CHIP OPERATIONS From news reports I have read it does not sound like the very important Taiwan chip manufacturing resources were strongly affected by the earthquake. It appears that Taiwan officials learned a lot from the damage that occurred to their chip industry as the result of their highly destructive 1999 earthquake. EARTHQUAKE AFTERSHOCKS I am planning to start watching for them. They are much easier to spot than the original earthquake as we already know WHERE the aftershocks are going to occur. So, we largely only need to know WHEN they are going to occur and their likely magnitude. If they are going to be strong enough for me to detect the EM Signals here on the opposite side of the Earth then they will likely be pointing to a fairly powerful aftershock. These are personal opinions. Regards to all, EQF |

Subject: Ground Tilt Response To Taiwan Earthquake - Apr. 6, 2024

Posted by EQF on April 6, 2024 At the present time my Earthquake Forecasting computer programs have generated so much information regarding that recent deadly Taiwan earthquake and two that just occurred in New Jersey, USA that I can't even discuss it all here. It would take too long. Quite a few charts will be stored on my Earthquake Forecasting Web site when they are ready. However, it appears that I can now confirm that what I believed to be the case for those Ground Tilt charts is correct, though the results are not what I originally thought they would be. The two charts below show the Ground Tilt data for the Garni area sensors. The first is a compilation of 90 days worth of data. These are normally the ones I reference in my notes. The second is a compilation of 30 days worth of data and is more detailed. With both chart it can be seen that they responded to that recent powerful Taiwan earthquake. 2024/04/02 23:58:11 23.82N 121.56E 35 7.4 "18 km SSW of Hualien City, Taiwan" (NEIS Data) However, it can also be seen from the second more detailed chart that it took a few days for the sensors to respond to the earthquake. This is I believe because ground movement associated with the tectonic plates involved takes a while for the pressure effects at 122 E where the earthquake occurred to reach the sensors that are far to the west in the Europe - Asia area. Some of the other sensors also responded to the earthquake. But the responses were not as sharp as the Garni one. Also, it appears that they are more likely responding to other fault zone activity, not the activity involved with the Taiwan earthquake. Additionally, I now have these Ground Tilt charts sufficiently well organized on my PC that I can use a Windows picture chart display program and the left and right arrow keys to easily move from one chart to another for each of the Ground Tilt sensor arrays. It is amazing to watch them as changes take place each day. These are personal opinions. Regards to all, EQF

If people are reading any earthquake reports, one piece of information that they might post here is what TYPE of earthquake it was. It was a reverse fault or also called thrust fault. What it an earthquake where two tectonic plates are attempting to slip sideways past one another? Old rock is being pushed over younger one. Typical for earthquakes where tectonic plates collide. Hope that helps. |

Posted by EQF on April 4, 2024 Thanks for the information, Mami. The official fatalities count associated with the earthquake appears to be 10 so far. I believe that the USGS generates reports that discuss what type of earthquake it was. Also, a Dr. Whiteside has a Web site that goes into some detail. However, I have not yet had time to look at either of those resources. My personal earthquake forecasting program relies on what are believed to be electromagnetic signals, likely fluctuations in the Earth's geomagnetic energy field, that can be detected around the world. Efforts are being gradually made to determine if these energy fields are affected by the type of earthquake and also it orientation in a north - south or east - west direction. My earthquake forecasting computer program generated some important information regarding that Taiwan earthquake. That information cannot be generated by any government or other earthquake researcher on the planet. I will be reporting the information here as time permits. I went looking through my records for lower magnitude earthquakes in that area that might have signaled that the 7+ one could be on the way. There were none with magnitudes higher than 5 that I could find going back quite a ways in time. I don't keep records for earthquakes with magnitudes lower than 5 unless the earthquake is important for research purposes. So, there are plenty of data available and just not enough free time to evaluate them all. These are personal opinions. Regards to all, EQF |

Posted by EQF on April 3, 2024 Some of the Ground Tilt charts that I have been watching have continued to have chart lines that have gradually increased in intensity. It will be important to see if they change directions now that that powerful earthquake has occurred in Taiwan. If they do show a change in direction it will be a possible indicator that they were being affected by that approaching earthquake. These are personal opinions. Regards to all, EQF |

Posted by EQF on April 3, 2024 Below are several of the latest Ground Tilt charts. It can be see that their line data are slowly or sharply increasing in intensity. It would be my bet that this is in response to that powerful Taiwan earthquake that just occurred. If that is the case, then now that it has occurred, those chart lines should change direction. In any case, that is how I think they should respond. As I have said, I have not yet been able to make contact with the people generating the chart data to get confirmation on this. These are personal opinions. Regards to all, EQF
