URGENT INFO ON EARTHQUAKES SOUGHT
We just had another big booming quake here in Asuncion and the head of the Proteccion civil was here asking for info. We would like to know if anyone
else is experiencing quakes tonight and where. they want to locate the centre and if it is in the San Andres Fault or the 3 virgins volcano. Rumor has
it that it Sta. Rosalia also felt it and we would like to confirm that. Also does anyone have an idea where we could find out about this....some
website??

Do you think that tidal waves can be caused from volcanic eruptions close by? Or would the wave build up and go somewhere else like Japan? Should we
sleep in our life jackets?? Tie the pangita up to the house? This IS getting exciting.

-----tsunamis are really rare, but yes, they can be caused by earthquakes or other severe upheavals (volcanos??) nearby (or far away). If you are on
the south facing side of Punta Asuncion then you will not be directly hit by land movement caused tsunamis from Bahia San Cristobal but that is not to
say that backwaves could not hit the town, tho doubtful as you are protected by the cliffs between the town and the ocean. Again, very rare, but
something to think about as you prepare for the unexpected. I agree--------quite an adventure!!! Maybe soon we will have a new island????
Keep us informed.

well, we are sticking out on the point facing west with water on both sides of the house so probably pretty vulnerable here...hmmm...anyway, time for
mimilolo(bedybye)...mom tied up the panga, got the lifejackets & wetsuits ready and packed a survival kit with radio, camera, lunch and a six pack
of tecate just in case. hasta mañana we hope!

Big 'booming' earthquake? Booming isn't usually how an earthquake is described... It does rumble.
Perhaps a sonic boom from a jet or space debris/ meteor entering the atmosphere? The earthquake sites don't show any ground activity.
I hope all is okay there!

You can report an earthquake on this site: http://pasadena.wr.usgs.gov/shake/ous/
Who knows, maybe they will research it and send you some information.

"A submarine eruption was reported on July 20, 1953 off the western coast of Baja California. Sailors on fishing boats observed great numbers of dead
fish and mud bubbling up at sea 2 km from San Cristóbal Island. The captain of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography vessel "Horizon" reported
similar phenomena at another point near the island of Cedros, not far from San Cristóbal Bay (Gonzalez-Reyna 1956). The origin of these events is
uncertain."
Freaky.

mom said that it was booming because it sounded like a bomb was exploding...maybe it's because we are right above the water??? but there was certainly
ground movement...my godparents house moved...the cement cracked...
