Quarry blast, or dam blast?

Quarry blast, or dam blast?

Of all the places...... unbelievable.

This happened live on air February 13, 2017 at approximately 145am Central Time . As we were doing the update on the Alaska M5.3 which struck, also as we were discussing California and Oroville.... then.... Mexico was struck by a M5.0 .

The exact half way point between both earthquakes is Tahoe to Oroville - about 50 miles apart.

The total distance along the faults connecting between Alaska and Mexico is over 3,500 miles ... having Oroville at the center of the silent zone fulcrum point is just a coincidence, but an unlucky one for sure.

Will this be the spot to be struck as the "middle point" in the silent zone as we see in other areas across the planet? IF an earthquake were to strike it would most likely be in the upper M4.8 to M5.4 range.

*Very interesting and kind of disturbing.
Each blast seems like clockwork.
Compare the magnitudes, dates and timestamps to each month.
Every month for a year, except for January 2017- nothing in Oroville.
I also couldn't find anything close to or before 2016.

Oroville Dam earthquake investigation may be needed
*Article From NOVEMBER 29, 2013*

A recent federal inspection has concluded that Oroville Dam, the tallest dam in the nation, needs a comprehensive earthquake safety assessment.
The dam on the Feather River is the primary storage facility for the State Water Project, the state-owned plumbing system that provides drinking water to more than 23 million people across California. Failure of the dam could inundate not only the city of Oroville but numerous other communities downstream, including Yuba City, Marysville and even West Sacramento.

Inspectors recommended the earthquake safety assessment based on newer information about earthquake hazards in the vicinity of the dam. Officials at the California Department of Water Resources, which manages the dam, say they don’t plan to conduct the recommended review because they don’t think the expense is justified. State water officials say the dam is sufficiently strong. “Even with today’s understanding of seismicity and ground motions, Oroville still would meet the criteria that would be set today,” said David Panec, chief of dam safety at the DWR’s operations and maintenance division. “The dam is essentially overbuilt.”

:sw_hmmm:

Not everyone is confident. Ronald Stork, a senior policy advocate at Friends of the River, said the call for further study of Oroville Dam should not be taken lightly. In recent years, after modern studies, numerous other earthen dams in California have been shown to be vulnerable to earthquakes. Stork noted Oroville is also considered a “classic case” for something known as reservoir-induced seismicity. In this phenomenon, the reservoir itself can cause earthquakes, because the enormous weight of water stored behind the dam is enough to shift the Earth’s crust. Studies have documented the phenomenon at Oroville. “A dam with a whole lot of shaking going on … does seem to be something you need to be really careful about,” said Stork, who monitors dam regulation across the state. “You lose a 3.5million acre-foot reservoir – the tallest in the United States – and that could cause a whole mess of downstream trouble.”

:sw_wow:
Enough Said....next up the potential for possible earthquake due to the enormous weight of water stored behind dam is enough to shift the Earth's crust.
