MT ULF UPDATE: December 1, 2004
Note: The San Jacinto Fault Alert continues to stay in effect.
There was a period with deep crustal infrasonic resonant
harmonic energy at 1.59 hz (-71.59 dBv) for Central California and
further north along the Pacific and North American Plate boundary.
Tonight, there was a small seismic swarm epicentered within the Coso Volcanic Center.

MT ULF UPDATE: December 2, 2004
Note: The San Jacinto Fault Alert continues to stay in effect.
There was no periods with detected deep crustal infrasonic resonant
harmonic energy. However, geomagnetic oscillation was observed for
a long period of time immediately after a micro quake epicentered
along the Pacific and North American Plate boundary in Northern
Baja, Mexico.

MT ULF UPDATE: December 3, 2004
Note: The San Jacinto Fault Alert continues to stay in effect.
There was a period with deep crustal infrasonic resonant
harmonic energy at 1.87 hz (-73.32 dBv) for Northern California and
further north along the Pacific and North American Plate boundary.
Today, I detected several periods with strong geomagnetic oscillation
that appear to also be associated with micro quake epicentered along the
Transverse Range from near Malibu, Fontana, Yucaipa, and Mt. San Gorgonio, CA.
I usually associate strong oscillation with being a precursor for a significant
magnitude earthquake of at least M5.0 to M6.5 according to past data from the Gulf
of California, and that which preceded last year's M6.5 San Simeon seismic event.
Most likely inferring that deep crustal stress will stay high over the next couple
of weeks, especially during the coming high spring tides (Dec. 11-13). The new moon
may add enough extra stress to have another strong earthquake along the Pacific and
North American Plate boundary before the end of 2004. A quick analysis of all recent
local anomalies would tend to agree with this. All charts are in sync with something
building up for the near future. Also, the recent sustained MT peak reading indicates
that stress is now rapidly increasing with time.

MT ULF UPDATE: December 4, 2004
Note: The San Jacinto Fault Alert continues to stay in effect.
There was a long period with strong deep crustal infrasonic resonant
harmonic energy at 1.07 hz (-69.63 dBv) for (ECSZ) Southern California and
further north along the Pacific and North American Plate boundary.
Today, I detected several periods with decompression (unclamping)
which appear to be indicating that the increase in crustal stress
is now causing the secondary faults to react. The recent small earthquake
near Ludlow appears to be an excellent example of this effect.
An extremely strong unclamping occurred at about the same time as that
of the peak resonant harmonic making it perfectly clear that we're quickly
approching some very important changes for in the near future.

MT ULF UPDATE: December 5, 2004
Note: The San Jacinto Fault Alert continues to stay in effect.
There was a long period with strong deep crustal infrasonic resonant
harmonic energy at 0.88 hz (-68.44 dBv) for Northern Baja and
further north along the Pacific and North American Plate boundary.
Today, I detected another long period with decompression (unclamping)
from along the plate boundary. Tonight's small earthquake epicentered
south of the border in Baja appears to be latitudinally associated with the
infrasonic harmonic detected. The arrival of a solar shockwave apparently
triggered a micro quake in a region SW of Mammoth Lakes known as Red Cones.

There was a long period with strong deep crustal infrasonic resonant
harmonic energy at 1.95 hz (-74.16 dBv) for Northern California and
further north along the Pacific and North American Plate boundary.
There was an MT shift at approximately 23:32 UTC which was co-incident with the
timing of a micro quake (23:32:01) preliminarily epicentered on The Elsinore
fault near Glen Ivy Hot Springs, CA. It is inferred that crustal stress interaction
along the Eastern Sierra Madre/Cucamonga fault and into the coastal region was simultaneous
with a period of high spring tidal forces along the coast. a much later adjustment of this crustal stress
change appears to have resulted in a small M3.8 earthquake which was epicentered near Mt. San Gorgonio.
The next period of maximum tidal phase angle will be on Sunday, December 12th between 16:17 and 23:51 UTC.

which was associated with a micro quake epicentered along the Mojave segment of the
San Andreas fault Near Little Rock and Juniper Hills, CA. This was the second time
that strong unclamping was observed coming from this segment. The last one was southeast
near Valyermo and Pallet Creek, CA. In other news, The seismic activity at Mt. Saint Helens
was incrasing and included three small earthquakes. So, you now need to watch the Eastern Sierras
for signs of harmonic resonance, much similar to what was observed earlier this year.

MT ULF UPDATE: December 22, 2004
Note: The San Jacinto Fault Zone Alert continues to stay in effect.
Additionally, there is a renewed Inland Empire Advisory for the region from
Upland to the Morongo Valley and from Valyermo/Wrightwood to the Coachella Valley.
There were no detected strong deep crustal infrasonic resonant
harmonics below 2 Hz. HOwever, increasingly elevated ULF and MT activity continued
over the past 24 hours. There was a single period with detected infrasonic unclamping
which lasted for approximately 12 hours in duration, which began immediately after a
micro quake epicentered along Lower Lytle Creek Ridge between the San Jacinto fault zone
and the San Andreas fault zone in Devore, CA. Right-Lateral slip is inferred to have
increased crustal stress along the Glen Helen fault, which is the eastern strand of the
Northern San Jacinto Fault Zone. The geology of the region is extremely complex, and I s
uggest that you all review the following file about the geology of the Devore Quadrangle.
The Geology of the Devore Quadrangle
Last July, I observed a major change in infrasonics (Acoustic Emission) which appeared to be
associated with a high crustal stress region near Devore, CA (Glen Helen Fault). The anomalous activity was in a region
of both thrust and strike-slip faults, and centered in the Cajon Pass.
Recently, I reported observing anomalous ULF and MT changes coming from near both Little Rock/Juniper Hills and Valyermo, CA.
I believe that crustal stress is beginning to peak out as the length of time for significant unclamping events (decompression)
increases. I recently observed some further unclamping, which was associated with the Rialto-Colton fault north of Fontana, CA.
It appears that the right-lateral San Jacinto fault is causing the Eastern Sierra Madre/Cucamonga thrust fault to
react to crustal stress changes. In the past six months, I've documented several periods with geomagnetic oscillation
which were associated with the Transverse Range. A recent event was located just east of Wrightwood, CA at Lone Pine Canyon (San Andreas).
Two events with unclamping, two events with acoustic emission changes, and two with geomagnetic oscillation were also inferred
to be associated with the Rialto-Colton fault, and another with the Eastern Sierra-Madre/Cucamonga thrust fault.
Another AE change was inferred to be coming from an area east of Ontario, CA (Fontana Seismic Trend). High frequency
ULF signal bursts were detected coming from near Lake Arrowhead, Loma Linda/Redlands, Big Bear Lake, Angelus Oaks
(Mill Creek Fault) and the Morongo Valley. There were also several other incidents with geomagnetic oscillation that were
inferred to be coming from near Loma Linda, Redlands and Yucaipa, CA. Also, several incidents of AE changes that
were associated with an alignment from east of Lucerne Valley to south of Joshua Tree, CA. The October 2, 2004 High
Frequency ULF burst was located right between two recent earthquakes epicentered north of Big Bear Lake, CA (Helendale Fault).
A High Frequency ULF burst was located just south of the recent earthquake epicentered along the Mill Creek fault.
I plotted all of the recorded anomalies on a geologic map, and it aligns with the Southern San Andreas fault
from west of Wrightwood to the Coachella Valley and north along the ECSZ and west along the Northern Frontal
fault zone again towards the Cajon Pass. Based upon these observations, it's inferred that a regional increase
in crustal stress now encompasses the San Bernardino segment of the San Andreas Fault zone between The Coachella
Valley and the San Bernardino Valley along with the Northen San Jacinto fault zone from Wrightwood to Loma Linda/Redlands, CA.
History:
In recent history, there have been no reported earthquakes equal to or greater than M7.0, epicentered on
the San Bernardino Valley segment of the San Jacinto fault zone. However, there were several earthquakes which had
significant warning foreshocks (M5.5) and main shocks in the range between M5.6 and M6.5 It's inferred that
the San Jacinto fault is capable of having an earthquake with a M7.0 which could have consequences greater than that
of a M8 epicentered on the nearby San Andreas fault. The San Jacinto fault is capable of producing a surface slip
of 2 meters. Strong seismic events have occured in 1858, 1890, 1894, 1899, 1907, 1918, 1923 and 1970. On
September 12, 1970 a M5.4 was epicentered at Lytle Creek. The July 22, 1899 event was epicentered in
the Cajon Pass near Lytle Creek, CA. Overall, The San Jacinto fault zone appears to be the most disturbed of all the
regional faults in Southern California.

All charts were updated with the preliminary results, including those from anomalies in the Mono
Lake, Coso Volcanic region and the Transverse Range. One other point still in question was if any
false triggered quakes made it through the automated system and listed as real events.

MT ULF UPDATE: December 26, 2004
Note: The San Jacinto Fault Alert along with Inland Empire advisory continues to stay in effect.
There was a period with observed strong deep crustal infrasonic resonant harmonic energy at 1.74 Hz (-75.45 dBv).
Elevated ULF and MT activity continued over the past 24 hours. The long duration unclamping event is
still in progress. There was one MT pulse detected which appears to be associated with a micro quake
epicentered near Big Bear Lake, CA. The ULF mean average has finally reversed direction with a significant
negative change. As for the great earthquake in Southeast Asia, There is a tendency towards having an earthquake of
this magnitude near the end of a solar cycle. It was in 1960 that a M9.5 earthquake epicentered in Chile was considered
to be the largest ever recorded in modern history. That was 44 years ago, and a solar cycle is equal to eleven years.
So, this earthquake in 1960 matches the point in the solar cycle, plus or minus one year. It was apporximately four years
later that a M9.2 earthquake was epicentered in Prince William Sound, Alaska. So, an earthquake of such high magnitude can
cause remote triggering even years later. We may now be affected here on the west coast of North America.
However, I'm greatly concerned about the Himalayas, which could be the next location in the chain.

MT ULF UPDATE: December 27, 2004
Note: The San Jacinto Fault Alert along with Inland Empire advisory continues to stay in effect.
There were no observed strong deep crustal infrasonic resonant harmonics.
ULF and MT activity continued to increase over the past 24 hours. The long duration unclamping event is
still in progress. The ULF mean average continued it's reversal. As far as the Asian Earthquake is concerned,
there is some indication of stress nucleation towards the Nicobar Islands, India. So, they may be due for
another strong aftershock (M7+). This evening, the piezomagnetic activity soared to an extremely high level.
Areas with inferred ULF/MT activity included Mt. San Gorgonio, Mettler and San Bernardino, CA. So, that may be
something which needs your immediate attention.

MT ULF UPDATE: December 28, 2004
Note: The San Jacinto Fault Alert along with Inland Empire advisory continues to stay in effect.
There was a period with observed strong deep crustal infrasonic resonant harmonic energy at 1.28 Hz (-71.39 dBv).
ULF and MT activity continued to increase during the past 24 hours. The long duration unclamping event is
still in progress. This evening, the piezomagnetic activity level is extremely high.
Areas with inferred ULF/MT activity included Anza, Borrego Springs and Parkfield, CA. The infrasonic unclamping
became erratic over the past several hours, with a period a strong harmonic resonance associated with the Mojave Desert Block.
The high tides along the coast of Southern and Central California due to the storm may be driving crustal stress higher than
what was expected. So, all should now stay on alert at this time.

MT ULF UPDATE: December 29, 2004
Note: The San Jacinto Fault Alert along with Inland Empire advisory continues to stay in effect.
There was a period with observed strong deep crustal infrasonic resonant harmonic energy at 0.66 Hz (-70.07 dBv).
ULF and MT activity was sustained during the past 24 hours. The long duration unclamping event is
still in progress. The piezomagnetic activity level was decreased after a long period with high levels.
Areas with inferred ULF/MT activity included Borrego Springs, CA. The infrasonic harmonic resonant frequency associated
with the Gulf of California and further north along the plate boundary, was active. There was a period with strong unclamping,
which was associated with a micro quake epicentered east of Big Bear Lake and North of Yucca Valley, CA. Another infrasonic
uppper level harmonic was observed coming from near Borrego Springs, CA. There was another strong upper level harmonic,
which appears to be associated with the Central San Andreas fault.

MT ULF UPDATE: December 30, 2004
Note: The San Jacinto Fault Alert along with Inland Empire advisory continues to stay in effect.
There was a period with observed strong deep crustal infrasonic resonant harmonic energy at 1.93 Hz (-75.84 dBv).
ULF and MT activity was decreased during the past 24 hours. The long duration unclamping event is
still in progress. The piezomagnetic activity level was decreased after a long period with high levels.
Areas with inferred ULF/MT activity included Baja and Borrego Springs, CA. The infrasonic harmonic resonant frequency associated
with Northern California and further north along the plate boundary, was active. There was a period with strong unclamping,
which was associated with a micro quake epicentered at Wrightwood, CA. Another infrasonic
upper level harmonic was observed coming from near Mt. San Gorgonio. There was an extremely low frequency ULF burst
also associated with a micro quake epicentered along the So. San Andreas fault where there was also a response to a
geomagnetic shift related to a micro quake epicentered at Mount St. Helens, WA.
The next New Moon and resulting Spring Tide will be on January 10, 2005.

MT ULF UPDATE: December 31, 2004
Note: The San Jacinto Fault Alert along with Inland Empire advisory continues to stay in effect.
There was a period with observed strong deep crustal infrasonic resonant harmonic energy at 1.81 Hz (-77.47 dBv).
ULF and MT activity was decreased during the past 24 hours. The long duration unclamping event is
still in progress. The infrasonic harmonic resonant frequency associated with Northern California and further north along the
plate boundary, was active. There was a period with a resonant harmonic, which was associated with a micro quake epicentered near
Mexicali and along the Imperial fault. Also, there were periods of infrasonic activity associated with micro quake epicentered near
the Fontana, CA region.

The next New Moon and resulting Spring Tides will be on January 10, 2005.
Special Statement:
It's the time of year when I begin the official winter fund drive to help keep the lab operating
throughout the new year. One item that needs some emphasis is the annual operating costs related to
being registered as a public corporation within the state of California; a fee that is fixed at 800 Dollars
annually for the privalege of being an entity. This year, I paid nearly 2 Thousand Dollars in fees to keep the lab legally
registered and debt free. To all those people who helped out last year, it was certainly appreciated and kept
the operations viable throughout fiscal year 2004. So you're all now being encouraged to participate again.
A year ago, I essentially worked right on through the holidays after the Mw6.5 San Simeon Earthquake. You can be assured
that I've already planned on doing the same this year, too.
Seasons Greetings to all, and Have a Safe and Happy New Year, too!
