10 months ago a video was released showing the stress map model for future earthquakes of larger magnitude. It shows where the stress is going from a previous quake and the Ridgecrest activity video clearly said in one of the regions ‘Bishop to Reno’ for the next large earthquake. Don’t believe me? Hit this link and take a listen for yourself as it is set to where the forecast was made – https://www.facebook.com/scweatherforce/videos/361549554563464/?t=228 – Believe me now?
A magnitude 6.5 earthquake struck Western Nevada between Reno and Las Vegas, just northwest of Area 51 near the town of Tonopah. As you saw on the video, and in the article image, the stress from the Ridgecrest earthquake was modeled to shoot north, south, east and west. It clearly said “North to Reno and Bishop, east to Las Vegas, West to San Simeon, and South to the Greater Los Angeles area. This quake did not hit a ‘less stress’ valued zone and I staked my reputation on it that IF this quake (and it said it in the video) were to hit a less stress value area that the project will admit defeat. It will most certainly not admit defeat as it nailed smack in the middle of a higher stressed zone.
Now your question is… what now? Where is the next one going to be? Does this quake mean a change in the activity? Well this will take a bit of time to run the simulation again and find out what this will do in terms of stress levels in the regional area, but by eyeballing it, it looks like the stress shoved southeast, southwest, northwest, and northeast, which would mean that the next larger one in the area would be either Northern Nevada and California, San Simeon/Bakersfield/Fresno, or Las Vegas, with a shut-down of the Ridgecrest system for now. I’ll come back with the final numbers in the near future.
As for our weather, a brief warm-up this weekend followed by a cool-down next week again … but a heatwave is scheduled for end month into the beginning part of June.
