September 20, 2014 - Big Sunspot, Quake Uptick, Hot Headlines

9/21/2014

Good evening. This is the evening edition of the daily alternative news report. Here is an updated look at earthquake activity and the visible solar disk on Saturday, as well as a bunch of links to hot headlines around the world.

Earthquakes

Volcanic and seismic activity are currently on the rise. Multiple 4.0M+ earthquakes across the North American craton, additional earthquake swarm activity occurring at the Oklahoma and Texas fracking operations.

Dormant volcanoes and magma chambers being displaced in North America as well.... near Salton Sea (south california), Mount Saint Helens, also in North Nevada, and at the Arizona / New Mexico border.

Central America needs to be on watch. Vancouver British Columbia , as well as Southern California near Salton Sea... all need to be ready for larger movement in the near term. The vast area being displaced across North America means we should see some noteworthy compensation movement along the edges of the plate boundaries.

West Pacific, be on watch near Japan, and New Zealand. Possibly also include far Western Indonesia as a place to be on guard for large movement.

Europe. Watch North Italy , and the English Channel into South UK.

South America. Watch the area NW of Chile / Peru experiencing the current swarm.

Solar Activity

Solar activity is currently at very low levels. We are now down to three visible numbered regions, although a few other sunspots are now turning into view off the east limb. We will get a better look at them during the next 24 hours. Minor C-Class flares will be possible today, with only a small chance for an isolated M-Class event.

Geomagnetic activity is back to quiet levels today following a period of enhanced activity on Friday. Geomagnetic storming is not in the forecast at this time. Sky watchers should remain alert however as sudden changes within the solar wind could boost activity at any time.

However, there has been a global uptick in earthquake activity and with a large sunspot turning to face earth, it may be good to be prepared.

Good morning sun freaks. Here is an updated look at the visible solar disk on Wednesday. Solar activity is currently at low levels. A handful of C-Flares were observed this morning around region 2164 in the southwest quadrant. Region 2158, the source of an X-Class solar on Sept. 10 which led directly to a strong geomagnetic storm on Sept. 12, is now rotating onto the west limb and out of direct Earth view. A new sunspot formed in the southeast quadrant and was numbered 2168 overnight. It is not considered a threat for strong solar flares at this time. Elsewhere, a pair of alpha magnetic spots rotated into view off the east limb and will be assigned numbers later today. There will remain a chance for at least C-Class solar flares today. No Earth directed coronal mass ejections were observed during the past day.
