    Hey Chris,

    If you think you are having problems, how is this for a strange coincidence. My calculations have taken me from Fry of Macedonia to Sumatra… with help from Ben ๐Ÿ™‚

    I worked a small T sequence yesterday, which calculated as 05:16 UTC 24/2. At this time, it was Dawn on the 4.4 Wales-UK epicentre 17/2, the lunar terminator was located on the 5.0 Iceland (swarm) epicentre 19/2… and it was Sunrise on Fry of Macedonia. Seismic events here seem to go off at the drop of a pin, and this is why I gave mention of it yesterday in my post (4:10 pm). I didn’t catch the SO news yesterday, so I watched it this morning (my time) before it changed to the 25th Feb edition. Ben mentioned the 4.0 Canary Isles event had taken his interest, it certainly took mine when I realised it had occurred at 05:16 UTC !

    When I ran a T sequence for this epicentre, it showed Dawn had occurred here at 06:21 UTC, the longitude of the sun at this time was 88.066’E… the opposite longitude to this is 91.934’W (Guatemala !!). At 02:40 UTC 24/2, the setting lunar terminator was located on the 4.4 Wales-UK epicentre, and the 4.0 Canary Islands epicentre !. When I advanced the lunar sequence, I discovered that on the 27th Feb at 05:38 UTC, the lunar terminator will be located on the 4.0 Canary Islands epicentre 24/2… located on the 5.2 New Britain Region P.N.G. epicentre 15/2… and 99.070’E – 1.770’N North Sumatra… which is currently showing some mag 3+ activity.

    So here’s a question… why did Bill wake up this morning to find himself in North Sumatra ? ๐Ÿ™‚

    The 5.2 New Britain Region event mentioned above, occurred on 15th Feb at 11:40:06 UTC it was Dusk on 112.685’E – 23.865’N Kuidongzhen, Guandong, China at 11:41 UTC. This was an indication that Kuidongzhen had potential for a seismic event to occur. However, also at 11:41 UTC, it was Sunset on 99.070’E – 1.770’N Sarulla, North Sumatra. When I ran a T sequence for this location, I found the best optimal chance of a “notable” seismic event occurs on the 27th February… the same date as the lunar connection above.

    Dawn 22:26 UTC = Solar Noon on 153.704’W – 0.304’N Central Pacific Ocean, this is the location occupied by the moon during the 6.1 Taiwan event 4/2… Dusk on 46.149’W – 15.833’N Central Atlantic Ocean, this is the location occupied by the moon during the 6.3 New Guinea event 26/1… the setting lunar terminator is located on the 6.0 Myanmar epicentre 11/1… the rising lunar terminator is located on the 7.2 Oaxaca, Mexico epicentre 16/2.

    Sunrise 23:35 UTC = Dusk on 57.516’W – 18.083’S Brazil-Bolivia Border, this is the location occupied by the sun during the 6.5 Southwest of Africa event 28/1… the setting lunar terminator is located on 79.450’E – 19.566’N Central India, this is the location occupied by the moon during the 6.5 Southwest of Africa event 28/1… at 23:34:28 UTC, the moon will be on longitude 17.470’W, this is the same longitude the 4.0 Canary Islands event occurred on !

    Dusk 12:49 UTC = Dawn on the 7.2 Oaxaca, Mexico epicentre… the setting lunar terminator is located on the 6.0 Pacific-Antarctic Ridge epicentre 2/2, and 118.050’W – 34.190’N Pasadena, CA ๐Ÿ™‚

    Chris…Sarulla, North Sumatra had a parallel T connection with Kuidongzhen, China on the 15th Feb, your guidance and data contribution gives you reason to be in the loop with Sumatra. At 12:50 UTC today, the MAG data recorded a signal drop, it was Dusk in Sumatra and Dawn in Oaxaca, Mexico… that 7.2 influence I was talking about seems to be waking up !!

    I saw that, and Honshu BTW!

    You are going to like this… I kept looking South around the Sumatra/Java gap near Jakarta…I also had a contact that occurred before the 5 in that North Sumatra epicenter…thought what is that 5 didnโ€™t clear out all the potential energy there?

    Then mag flux data did something odd were the usual uptick on the USGS charts looked more subtle today. My curiosity had me looking at more the more subtle fluxes this time…Guatemala and Sumatra came up…as well as new Britain.

    I read the other areas and many of those show up as well.

    You can see the Africa connection to Sumatra in the list above, well, on 21st Feb at 10:27:53 UTC, a 5.2 occurred Southwest of Africa again… Sunset on 112.685’E – 23.865’N Kuidongzhen, China occurred at 10:28 UTC on this day !

    Yes! I finally got a hit in Japan, but here’s the best part. The T sequence for this epicentre shows Sunset occurred today at 08:24 UTC, if you input this time in the moon map, look where the lunar terminator is located… it is on 91.950’W – 13.830’N Offshore Guatemala !!

    I could think of a few choice words with lots of P’s N’s and G’s in them at the moment (lol)

    I don’t think we have missed our stop yet! e.g the ACE data feed stopped at 17:04 UTC = no viable correlation found at this time… ACE data feed resumed at 19:30 UTC = the lunar terminator is located on 112.685’E – 23.865’N Kuidongzhen, Guandong, China !!. After several days of working this forecast, it is extremely coincidental that the satellite would resume operations, at the time the lunar terminator is exactly on our spot… don’t you think ?. The T sequence for the 7.5 P.N.G. is rather unique, it suggests a grand combination was key to its inevitable action… see what you think !

    The T sequence for M 7.5 New Guinea, Papua New Guinea 25/2

    Dawn 19:25 UTC = Dawn on 6.0 Mariana epicentre 11/2… Dawn on 138.966’E – 21.983’S Queensland, Australia, this is the location the sun occupied during the 7.6 North of Honduras event 10/1… the rising lunar terminator is located on the 7.6 North of Honduras epicentre 10/1… it is also located on the 6.3 Tarapaca, Chile epicentre 21/1

    Sunrise 20:37 UTC = Sunrise on the 6.0 Mariana epicentre 11/2… Sunrise in Queensland, Australia on the co-ordinates and reason stated previously… Sunset on 32.950’W – 13.316’S South Atlantic, this is the location the moon occupied during the 6.3 Gulf of California event 19/1

    Sunset 08:50 UTC = Dawn on 61.733’W – 20.250’S Paraguay, this is the location the sun occupied during the 6.3 Gulf of California event 19/1

    Dusk 10:00 UTC = The rising lunar terminator is located on 60.566’E – 7.850’S Western Indian Ocean, this is the location the moon occupied during the 7.6 North of Honduras event 10/1

    4 X Honduras – 2 X Mariana – 2 X California = 7.5 New Guinea P.N.G.

    During the whole of 2017, there were a total of eight 7+ earthquakes… we are now 7 weeks 6 days into 2018, and we have already had five 7+ events. Considering that we are approaching solar minimum, this kind of high mag activity in such a short period could imply a mag 8 or 9 could be close at hand !!

    Hey Chris… Yes I saw Ben’s message, another excuse to use profanities again… I have started sending my wife out of the room whilst I log on to Quake Watch in the mornings ๐Ÿ™‚

    I think I mentioned before, I was logging strong contacts for Duke of York Island up to the 9th Feb.. I therefore forecast a 7+. a 5.8 occurred the day after, and then the 7.2 oaxaca, Mexico occurred on the 16th. Solar Noon here occurred at the same time as Dawn on Duke of York Island… I naturally assumed I was in the wrong place. Further contacts for Duke of York started again on the 19th, I reduced the Magnitude because I expected energy depletion would alter the outcome. Technically speaking, I was right because a 5.6 occurred today in my range. I can appreciate how Ben works this system, but in truth I was 400 miles off the New Guinea epicentre… its only a 5.6, but at least I feel I earned it !

    I have worked a couple of events today that seem to be keeping us on course for China, although I am surprised that with several high mag events occurring, no fore warning activity is occurring here !

    M 5.6 New Britain Region 04:41:02 UTC = the longitude of the sun at this time was 112.983’E (Guandong !)… the rising lunar terminator was located on the same 5.6 New Britain Region epicentre… the setting lunar terminator was located on the 4.0 Canary Islands epicentre 24/2.

    M 6.0 Ceram Sea, Indonesia 13:34:56 UTC = the longitude of the moon at this time was 112.050’E (Guandong !)
    The T sequence for this epicentre shows Dawn occurs today at 20:31 UTC, the setting lunar terminator is located on 112.685’E – 23.865’N Kuidongzhen, China. Sunrise occurs here at 21:40 UTC, it is Dawn at this time on the same Kuidongzhen co-ordinates.

    No! I’m not back in CA, I was giving my interpretation why mid-morning coffee breaks in California were being disrupted by the moon being over the Red Sea ๐Ÿ™‚

    The T sequence for Verma Fracture Zone today on the co-ordinates you posted, shows Dawn occurred at 08:00 UTC… this is already a curiosity because it is exactly 12 hours before Solar Noon in Anza, CA !… notably to me, it was Sunset on the co-ordinates of my expired Bougainville forecast. Sunrise occurred at 09:11 UTC, it was Dawn on Trinidad & Tobago, and again it was Dusk on the same Bougainville co-ordinates. Sunset has just occurred at 21:04 UTC, it is Dawn on the 6.4 Taiwan epicentre 6/2 at this time. Dusk occurs at 22:14 UTC, it will be Sunset in Trinidad & Tobago.

    My current model only utilises 6+ positions, Verma fracture zone correlates with a prominent post seismic site in Taiwan… which is a favourable point to consider. It also extends routes to Trinidad & Tobago and Bougainville.

    Here’s a small correlation I was working on earlier, Verma fracture zone also seems to fit in with today… try these times on your map

    26/2 M 5.8 New Guinea P.N.G. ….. 08:26:57 UTC = solar map
    26/2 M 5.7 New Guinea P.N.G. ….. 11:56:06 UTC = Moon map
    26/2 Dawn on Verma fracture zone . 08:00:00 UTC = moon map

    They all converge on the North Coast of Iceland, 30 km’s East of the swarm epicentre on the 19th

    Sunrise 02:44 UTC = the longitude of the sun was 142.233’E, therefore it was Solar Noon on the 7.5 New Guinea P.N.G. epicentre 25/2… the longitude of the moon at this time was 91.783’W (Guatemala!)

    Speculation…

    At 01:25 UTC 28th February, it will be Dusk on the Offshore Guatemala co-ordinates… Sunrise on the Southern Kazakhstan co-ordinates… Sunset on the 6.3 Gulf of California epicentre 19/1… and the Dawn threshold will converge with the setting lunar terminator on 55.750’E – 27.750’N Fin, Southern Iran. An insignificant Class B 3.3 flux event occurred yesterday (26th) at 15:43 UTC, it was Dawn at this time on 161.420’W – 53.840’N Unimak Seamount, Aleutian Islands. When the 7.5 New Guinea event occurred on 25th Feb at 17:44:44 UTC, it was Sunrise on this same location. At 01:25 UTC on 28th, the rising lunar terminator will also be located on this location !!

    At 17:43:10 UTC on 5th March, the moon will be on longitude 142.740’E, the 7.5 New Guinea epicentre is located on longitude 142.790’E. The sun will be on longitude 82.933’W Off the Coast of Ecuador, this is the exact same longitude it occupied during the 7.5 New Guinea event 25/2… the rising lunar terminator will be located on 55.750’E – 27.570’N Fin, Northwest of Bandar Abbas, Southern Iran !! (2 minutes later, it will be Solar Noon on the 7.6 North of Honduras epicentre 10/1)

    These are my interpretations of possible trigger scenario’s, the only space data I have used is the B 3.3 flux event, the rest is just post seismic combination. The math suggests something awaits in Southern Iran, the space data does not. It is a little mental exercise for me to compile this kind of material… it will be interesting to see if there is an actual result!
