Felt the windows rattling yesterday and today I pick up this in the news, article vanished moments after it was posted, luckily I dug into my trusty history files.
Seems like the Earth is likely going through some sort of magnetic and or photon field related event. We know the science is there to support these unknowns (until this century in some cases), add in the Astrology, Mayans, and the Egypt factor (can I coin that phrase?) and you have the setting for an all out rebirth of man. Coolest thing is you do not have to believe it or not it is AL-l-READy happening. You need no bible at this point, nor blackberry with GPS, in fact my compass does seem to be malfunction a lot lately.. Nope this is the inner-energy journey and the whole of spacehip earth is along for the ride, so buckle up and get ready for the ride of your lives.. seat cushions can also be used as a flotation device. (warning:may smell like beer farts and old peanuts)

havent seen much activity on the west coast for a while cept for a couple of fivers off the alaskan peninsula or south of ca in mexico, but even those are rare...

so i was surprised when I got the quake alert read across the phone for "coastal oregon"

Why does the natural earth always have to be "the end"?

FROM THE EDITOR
Oceanic crust is continental; great, timely news for the oil industry!

One of the greatest achievements of the NCGT group in the last 11 years is the establishment of a strong case for the ubiquitous presence of ancient, continental rocks under the present-day oceanic areas and its implications for the real composition of the so-called oceanic crust and for global tectonics.

Many articles in past issues of the NCGT Newsletter have documented indisputable hard evidence against the oversimplified plate tectonic model of the oceanic crust (which is said to be basaltic and gabbroic, to have formed at the mid-oceanic ridges and to have moved to its present position through seafloor spreading), and have argued for the presence of continental rocks in the deep oceans, the most outstanding paper being by Vasiliev and Yano (no. 43, 2007).

They showed an impressive crustal section of the Mid-Pacific Ridge at the junction of the Heezen Fracture Zone, and the widespread presence of ancient, continental rocks in the Pacific, Indian and Atlantic Oceans.

In addition, we have repeatedly shown that Proterozoic structures on continents continue into the ocean floor (South America and Pacific/Atlantic Oceans; around Australian continent; NW Pacific; Indian Ocean), and we have presented seismic data indicating that the oceanic crust consists of folded and block-faulted basin-filling sedimentary rocks at its top section (some of them possibly Proterozoic to Lower Paleozoic in age – offshore Sumatra, NW Pacific, etc.).

Furthermore, the global shear strain pattern discussed by De Kalb (no. 44, 2007) indicates that a uniform crust must have covered the Earth’s surface in Precambrian time.

We can now say that the so-called oceanic crust is primarily continental crust which has been locally altered or metamorphosed in interaction with the upper mantle.

Another important fact brought forward by our contributors is that the present deep oceans were formed in Jurassic to Paleogene time – before that, most of the present oceans had been subaerially exposed and formed paleolands. Mesozoic-Cenozoic basins of great economic interest are well developed in some areas of the deep oceans, mainly near the present continental margins.

The new picture – that continental “oceanic” crust (or sunken continents) underlies the Mesozoic-Cenozoic basins and basalts – is a great gift for the oil industry. They now have positive scientific grounds for exploring deep-sea sedimentary basins.

Currently, hydrocarbons are produced in 1,800 m of water off Brazil and exploration is progressing in much deeper waters worldwide (John and MacFarlan, Offshore, October, 2007, for example).

In the coming 10 to 15 years, basins with 3,000 to 4,000 m of water will become the most active area for exploration and exploitation (personal communications with many oil company staff at the AAPG European Conference, November 2007). We are very proud of what our members have achieved.

THIS IS NOT THE END< IT IS JUST A NEW PARADIGM

I live on the West coast of Canada in British Columbia. I have been watching on a regular basis seismic activity of our coast. I am not geologist nor a scientist, but in my amateur observations I've noted an increase in seismic activity. In fact, the place is a "buzz" with daily tremors. British Columbia just orchestrated the largest Earthquake drill in Canada a few weeks ago. Sadly, because we never "feel" any actual quakes here even on an "infrequent" basis, people are not as "aware" nor prepared as they should be for the "big one". While they do have Earthquake drills in schools, I believe the rest of the populace somewhat oblivious to the "danger" that will some day befall all of us who live here ( I live up on a nice high plateau, in a one floor house, so I think I am pretty safe, aside from maybe someone lighting a match or lighter after the shaking stops!).
Unlike say, Californians, who have a fairly "frequent" reminder of the seismic area they live in. I am willing to bet, I am one of the only houses on my block with an emergency earthquake kit, and a "plan" for if/when a quake happens.
I've often thought it's so strange and a bit "unnerving" that all of the other "major" continents in the "Ring of Fire" have gone through some pretty active and devastating events, while the last "quake" we felt in Vancouver was the 2001 quake centered just outside of Seattle.
When is our time going to be up? I'd say sooner probably rather than later, I'm prepared, are you?

We are all prepared when in the comforts of our homes with water and supplies. What do you do if you are not there when it happens. Being prepared is having knowledge and survival skills. When something happens at any random point in time it is impossible to be completely prepared. Experts on earth quake rescue say they find most people who survived are in these little triangle spots in buildings where there is a pocket. When buildings collapse they find people sliced in half who are hiding in door ways and such . The frame just folds over cutting them in two. Most of the stuff they teach in schools is very outdated. I am a volunteer fire fighter and EMA. The best way to stay alive is to use your head and stay calm. Hiding under a desk when a roof collapses on you is just going to get you squished. Even running out side can be dangerous with falling power lines and trees... It is documented that the ground, such as that which is mostly gravel or sand can actually liquefy and swallow buildings or cars. I felt the earthquake in 2001 and being from Ontario originally it scared the living shit out of me. I was out side of the building I was in, in mere seconds. Right place at the right time has a lot to do with survival when the big one hits. Here is hopping.
I wish I could remember the rescue expert who had a great video explaining the safest zones in a building and so on. If I do I will post a link.
Keep your eyes and ears open.

I have a feeling you're going to be a super mod one day. don't know why, just a feeling. could be the liquor.
