1/05/2023 -- X1.2 class Solar Flare -- Earth facing Eastern Limb

ALL LINKS NEEDED FOR VIEWING ARE BELOW!

A large X1.2 class solar flare has occurred on the Eastern limb of the Sun. (left side viewing from SDO)

From https://spaceweather.com/
"X-CLASS SOLAR FLARE: Earth-orbiting satellites have just detected a major X1.2-class solar flare (Jan. 6th @ 0057 UTC)"

You can view the solar flare on Helioviewer by selecting the date range of

You should be able to see the flares trajectory in a few hours going into tomorrow on the ENLIL page: https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/products/wsa-enlil-solar-wind-prediction

As with past X class solar flares which are on a side facing Earth, we can see increases in charged particles as well as solar wind.  The incoming charged particles (when excessive) can be seen on the SOHO satellite(s) C3 view https://soho.nascom.nasa.gov/data/Theater/

When the charged particles arrive with the solar wind in the next 2-3 days from now (1/5/2023 8pm central) you can watch the compression of the magnetosphere around Earth here: https://www.sws.bom.gov.au/Satellite/3/2

Once the compression of the magnetosphere occurs, and a buffeting of the magnetosphere happens with excess protons /cm3, and solar wind speed increases... I think of the incoming solar storm with strong solar wind like a wind storm.. and the charged particles like rain.... if you combine the two.. its like a hurricane... not just a wind storm!

Within 2-3 days of the arrival of the x-class flare, usually we see a noteworthy increase in deep earthquakes, and shallower larger earthquakes.  Also, keep an eye out for earthquakes by pipelines, power grids (lines and stations), even railroad tracks.

Summed up.. an x-class flare facing earth has occurred, it takes 2-3 days for the charged particles w/solar wind to arrive.  Once it arrives, we watch for an additional 2-3 days for an earthquake and volcanic increase.   Next 7 days basically.

Somewhat rare M4.1 'earthquake' has struck in Central Russia .. Ural Mountains .. directly next to a series of large natural gas pipelines. https://www.emsc-csem.org/Earthquake/earthquake.php?id=1207171

Apparently Kilauea volcano started erupting again .. check out Doing Hawaii's live stream for more information ! https://youtu.be/TzAtNMxa6eE

This fits with the seismic increase, and the warning issued about potential new volcanic accompanying it.

Kilauea is Erupting Big Island of Hawai'i https://youtu.be/cizr1BHl9n4

A large M7.2 earthquake has struck the West Pacific at Vanuatu.. directly next to the deep M5.9 earthquake from 2 days ago!!!!

A shallower larger earthquake next to the original deep event!

Tsunami threat ... statement issued from https://tsunami.gov for the area around Vanuatu and the M7.2 earthquake...

300km in all directions from the earthquake epicenter.

1/08/2023 -- Large M7.2 (M7.0) Earthquake strikes West Pacific Vanuatu -- Tsunami Threat CANCELED

A tsunami warning was issued, and has now passed , warning downgraded / canceled. https://tsunami.gov

Cancellation of the Tsunami alert here: https://www.tsunami.gov/events/PHEB/2023/01/08/23008051/3/WEPA40/WEPA40.txt

Original tsunami warning here: https://www.tsunami.gov/events/PHEB/2023/01/08/23008051/2/WEPA40/WEPA40.txt

As we were expecting, a shallow large earthquake struck the West Pacific next to the deep M5.9 (M6) from 1.5 days ago near Fiji.

Today, a shallow large M7.2 struck Vanuatu. https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/us7000j2yw/executive#generalknowledge

Earthquake forecast warnings for this week can be seen here: https://youtu.be/wZ3tQdsaD30

Joshimath India, at the border of China + India... just West of Nepal... sudden shifting taking place along the plate boundary!

Right next to this spot, I warned Afghanistan for up to M6.9 this week. So far a M6.0 (M5.9) struck.

Keep watch for larger

1/09/2023 -- Very Large M7.6 earthquake strikes warned area in Indonesia -- TSUNAMI PAGE DOWN?!

weird... they're not even reporting the quake on https://tsunami.gov which is very odd indeed.

The warned area in Indonesia has been struck by a very large M7.6 earthquake. https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/us7000j36j/executive#generalknowledge

6 days ago I warned Indonesia for M7.0+ earthquake activity at the "S shaped" plate boundary! Today the M7.6 struck!

Starting about 40min into this video ... the warning for indonesia issued for M7.0+ https://youtu.be/wZ3tQdsaD30

They had a 6 day warning for this!

In addition to all the other earthquake watches going.. we must also watch the middle point between both M7.0 range quakes in the West Pacific for an additional similar large event over the next 7 days.

Yellow dot = "the center" between the two quakes

1/10/2023 -- X1.9 class Flare -- Earth facing Eastern Limb

A second larger X-class flare (X1.9) has occurred off the Eastern limb of the Earth facing side of the Sun.

As we talked about yesterday, the antipode of the M7.6 being the Mid-Atlantic ridge Ascencion Island over to Gabon and the Golden Coast of Africa...

Today.. a more rare M4.6 just struck Gabon spot on! https://www.emsc-csem.org/Earthquake/earthquake.php?id=1209222

Thanks to @demipotvin on twitter for sharing this with me!

A new small island formed after the M7.6 earthquake in Indonesia!

1/11/2023 -- THIRD X-Class flare -- X1 Eastern Limb Earth Facing side of the Sun

A third X-class flare has occurred, showing at the boundary between M + X class flares.... "X1" or somewhere just above "X-class"  on the x-ray flux monitor

Excellent update from MonkeyWerx on the FAA situation flights being grounded.. and over 50 air refueling tankers in the air over the USA today / tonight...

SITREP 1.11.23 - GROUNDED!? https://youtu.be/8-bgBBcpJrE

1/12/2023 -- BE ALERT -- Earthquake unrest spreading now -- West Coast California / Oregon M5.0

A new M5.0 has struck along the NW coast of the United States / Oregon, along the outer edge of the JDF (juan de fuca) fracture zone.

The spread of M5.0's comes from Alaska, and ultimately from the West Pacific unrest event currently taking place -- multiple M7.0+ earthquakes striking, plus spreads of new M5 to M6 level activity across multiple points of the Pacific in the past day.

Keep watch for the areas shown in this video for the next 4-5 days tops.
