1105 World Wide and New Madrid/East Coast Earthquakes

3 Mar 2026 Ron Tyler, representing Emergency Management Associates, discusses recent earthquakes worldwide, focusing on the New Madrid fault and the East Coast. He highlights a 5.1 aftershock near the Camchak Peninsula, Alaska, and several earthquakes near Atu Station, Alaska, noting that many were absorbed by the Pacific Ocean. Tyler also mentions earthquakes near volcanoes in Alaska, attributing them to magma movement.

The USGS is not reporting all earthquakes, particularly in Japan, the Philippines, Indonesia, and the South Pacific. Despite this, there are numerous earthquakes occurring in these regions, including a 6.2 magnitude earthquake near Sumatra, Indonesia, and a 5.3 magnitude earthquake southwest of New Zealand. The USGS is only reporting a few earthquakes in these areas, leaving many others unreported.

The speaker discusses recent earthquakes in various regions, including the west coast of South America, Puerto Rico, and the United States. They express frustration with the USGS for not accurately reporting earthquake data, particularly in the New Madrid fault area. The speaker emphasises the importance of being aware of seismic activity in the New Madrid fault region, as it poses a significant risk to the lives and property of those living there.

Seismic activity, including tremors and minor earthquakes, is occurring along the East Coast of North America. The Mid-Atlantic fault, expanding in the Atlantic Ocean, is believed to be putting pressure on the East Coast, causing these earthquakes. This pressure is also affecting volcanoes and fault lines, such as the Eastern Continental Divide in South Carolina.

The East Coast of North America is experiencing increased seismic activity, particularly in North Carolina, Virginia, and Arkansas. Multiple earthquakes, including tremors and larger quakes, have been recorded along the Mid-Atlantic fault, the New Madrid fault, and the New Madrid Seismic Zone. The speaker suggests that the movement of the Pacific Plate and the expansion of the Atlantic fault are contributing to this increased seismic activity.

The New Madrid Fault is experiencing increasing seismic activity, with tremors escalating to minor earthquakes and even 3.0 magnitude quakes. This heightened activity, previously limited to tremors, is now spreading across the fault line, from Illinois to Louisiana. The speaker warns of an impending major earthquake, potentially an 8.0 magnitude, that could cause widespread damage, disrupt transportation, and lead to looting.

The New Madrid fault is experiencing significant seismic activity, with ongoing tremors and the potential for a major earthquake within the next two years. This could lead to widespread damage, including broken gas and water mains, fires, and impassable roads. While Yellowstone is experiencing minor tremors, there is no evidence of an imminent eruption, though a major earthquake near Hebgen Lake could pose a threat.

The speaker discusses the overdue Hebin Lake earthquake, predicting it will happen soon and urging viewers to prepare.
