HOW LONG WOULD IT STAY BEFORE DELETED?

Considering YTP and YLT looks to be a bit wonko due to noise/weather, and the other sensors in the park don't show it, and that the depth is less than 1k.... It'll likely get removed.

No USGS data. 404'd

Mmm

LKWY.US.00.BHZ.2011.048

It does not exist. Now you see it, now don't. It is called seismodigitation!

Okay; this time I was watching. Even got screencaps. Right here, where the blue crosshairs converge, is where it said it happened. The closest seismometer to that point is YUF, and at the indicated time (18:46:34 UTC), there ain't nothing showing on its seismogram. They might just have a really bad, noisy data connection somewhere, and the spikes being thusly introduced are fooling their computer into thinking there was a quake where there wasn't one.

That doesn't explain Thunder Heart Woman's experiences, though... let's see, she said 1AM MST on Wednesday last week, which would be 2/9... nope, there are a couple of spikes after 3AM that day, but nothing at 1AM. Mrs. Woman, can you tell us if you just now (11:46 MST on 2/17/2011) actually felt anything? If not, it's my opinion that YVO/USGS/UUtah aren't actually hiding anything, they're just keeping the data clean... this time...

Well, we just had one that matches up with the insturmnets

a bit quick to the ''glitch in the system'' theory there...


another source picking up quake

reply to post by Anmarie96


Nah, must be a mistake. One that matches? That green spike is just in your imagination.

Nothing to see here. Move along.

Looks like this one
earthquake.usgs.gov...

Quick put it in the trophy case!

Please pardon my ignorance, but what does it mean when there is a 3.8 in the park at a depth of less than 1 mile at approximately 10 am UTC today, and another registering a 3.6 approximately 13 miles deep in the same area occurring less than 1 hour ago at 18:46 UTC (according to RSOE)?

Should there be a concern or does that mean its moving away?


Thank you for helping.

Pardon me, but let's ad some conspiracy here. Are there really activity in the park, but we don't see it on seismos because they run it in loop?

If you read back a little in the thread you will find that at this time of year there are telemetry errors due to ice build uo on the equipment, and ice on your equipment is not good. It leads to transmission breaks that make the computers thing there is a quake, basically because they are brain dead and cannot think for themselves. This is why thinks need to be reviewed by humans.

This explains what is happening

RSOE is also brain dead and I would not take too much notice of it. They very rarely update things after the first event and in my opinion you cannot properly run a site that is supposed to be informing people of things without doing that.

reply to post by Roald


Now really Roald. You are more of a conspiracy theorist that I took you for.

They would not do that do that do that do that do that do that do that do that do that do that........

Heineken asked me if I had the "gap" for one of the Yellowstone quakes. I said no because I was not thinking straight what with Arkansas and all. I suddenly realised this afternoon that I might be able to see the "telemetry error" on the normal waveforms. I knew it would not show as an actual gap, but if there it would be a flat line.

I pulled a waveform for MCID for 17th Feb from 18:40 to 18:50 based on the deleted 3.6.

Date/Time UTC,Latitude,Longitude,Magnitude,Depth(Km),Location
2011-02-17T18:46:33.000Z,44.73360,-110.50130,3.6000,20.9000,Yellowstone National Park. Wyoming

I can't get millisecond accuracy as I am reading the number of seconds from the screen but on the image below the long blip (telemetry error) is at about 377 seconds from the start of the waveform. The waveform starts at 18:39:37 so if you add 377 seconds to that you get 18:46:04



On this next image I have zoomed in to the wave a bit and you can see the "gap" as a flat line.



Note that when the signal comes back on the signal level is relatively high.

No further witness m'lud. The defence rests.

I've bookmarked this thread so I won't lose you all.

Every time I feel one of these quakes, or my neighbors and family reports one to me, I'll report it here. It will be interesting to see what is deleted and what is not.

I'm trying to keep track of the Arkansas thread. It sure looks like something is going on there. I know that when I lived in Missouri many years ago, there was the big new madrid earthquake scare back in the 90's. It was on the news all the time for awhile about how they were certain the new madrid was going to going off. Nothing happened.
I got to talking to some elderly gentleman who told me that if it ever did go off in a big way we'd see water, inland, very quickly.

Anyway, I've been observing animal and bird behavior more closely here too. Anyone up this way notice anything odd as of late? I'm seeing less deer this year, but of course, that may not mean anything either.

reply to post by Thunder heart woman


It will probably be all over the news this time as well about the New Madrid, and then like last time, it will die down and go away and in a few months everyone will have forgotten. [As Picard say - make it so]

I'm seeing less deer this year, but of course, that may not mean anything either.

You should speak to Anmarie about that.

You crack me

But on a more serious note

Something is not quiet right

Please take a look at the seismo for AK Here

and Yellowstone Lake Here

It's not adding up - Was there and event in the Park we missed? The 4.0 is showing in the park but not the 4.3?

and the list for today at USGS

This may sound a litte too farfetched...but what if some if not all of those Seismos located at Yellowstone are,sort of,not located at Yellowstone...or lets go even crazier...they switch to a different Seismo if something big happens...or Computer-generated Seismos to hide Bigger Activity at the Park...Choices choices

I know,i know,crazy...right? Right!

reply to post by Anmarie96


Just a thought and a innocent question for the experts around here in regards to your post Annmarie96: Can seimos be affected in any way by Solar occurences such as all of the flares earlier this week or the new M 6.6 that went off today?

Thank you all very much in advance.

reply to post by lasertaglover


No, I do not think that these flares are able to interfer with the seismo's

Scientists classify solar flares according to their x-ray brightness in the wavelength range 1 to 8 Angstroms. There are 3 categories: X-class flares are big; they are major events that can trigger planet-wide radio blackouts and long-lasting radiation storms. M-class flares are medium-sized; they can cause brief radio blackouts that affect Earth's polar regions. Minor radiation storms sometimes follow an M-class flare. Compared to X- and M-class events, C-class flares are small with few noticeable consequences here on Earth.

Thank you. It was just a thought. Everything seems so nerve-wracking lately, I was trying to think of something non-sinister.

Now you have got me confused. 4.3 and 4.0 in the Park? But you show them below at Arkansas.

edit on 18-2-2011 by Anmarie96 because: (no reason given)

Certainly that one in the park should be listed but I don't see it. 944 does not show them up as much. Looks like B208 may have been turned up.

B944.PB..EHZ.2011.049

They hardly show at all a Grant Village so I am guessing that is what has happened. Maybe you will find them on the UUSS list

H17A.TA..BHZ.2011.049

Edit: I went to look but I can't get my head round the times. the 18th does not seem to be on there at all and this is all I have:
