Geonet didn't show it, so it won't show on the graph.

It is just me or has there been a lot less quake activity globally this year so far? maybe its just me ..

Just had a biggy in Almaty, Kazakhstan. Started as a tremor, then became heavier, lasted about 10 seconds but scary enough.

Yes it has been pretty quiet the first 3 months of 2015 Globally

2015=18


With M7+ though we are ahead of 2014 (just before the M8 offshore Chile in April)
2012=3
2013=5
2014=0
2015=2


About the same as last year M5+, 2/3 below 2012/13

Well I have not seen this before, has anyone else?

yep, that was a biggie. And we have a major solar storm hitting right now too...

a reply to: berkeleygal

According to suspiciousObservers it was strong enough to cause ground currents, we can only guess what stresses they cause..

a reply to: coffeesniffer

Look for biggie, thursday through sunday! Maybe 9.0 big.

a reply to: radpeteage

oh jeez...
cmon really?
nothing is going to happen.

That 6.6 has been converted to Mw and is down to 6.2
@coffesniffer, are you concerned becasue of the Equinox ?
never had any effect before

Dammit, a couple of quakes on the Pacific Plate east of East Cape Ridge again this morning NZST.

Its a real PITA to plot those on Open Street Maps along with the others West of the Anti-Meridian, because that is where OSM splits the Global Map.

The icons ARE on the map, but you have to manouvre the map as noted below on the page;
Note: Drag map hard right to see the 2 earthquakes on the Eastern side of the Anti-Meridian
yep that's right, drag the map right, so the actual landmasses go left, so that you get to the other side of the Anti-Meridian, which is just to the right of NZ, makes no sense at all.

it's easier if you zoom right out first then zoom back in.

I had to stitch 2 images together to get the Thumbnail for Flipcard style load.

I hope there isn't another series of earthquakes on the Anti-Meridian like back in Nov 2014, it would be a real pain to have to stitch the map together every day.

Same would apply if I was doing the Alaska/Kamchatka area.

maybe I should go back to NZ Topo for NZ?
Its a dam sight easier, only done 16 in the OSM so far.
Working on some new pin icons that centre on the epicentre, previous attempt they were out of whack. You can't get an image of the OSM pins anywhere on the Web, they build themselves inside the OSM system.
Japanese maps are sweet though. Have got into the routine in colour.

Alysha angel & muzzy,

This year will bring everything home and you'll know what we are in for . that feeling,that little quite knowing prepares you for the reality so your not as shocked as everyone else so you may help those in need. i get them all the time and i havent posted all the notions i get but its never failed me so sit up straight and pay attention ! its not coming anymore its here now. just listen to that brief &flit notion & you'll see the whole world shake in waves.

a reply to: muzzy

No I was interested in the quake due to the K>4 KP=8 storm that was in progress. I believe electic stress from space weather exists, how this plays out in regards to earthquakes and earth's weather i'm not so sure though.

New Pins (Markers)
Warning: Watch your fingers, they're sharp!


All NZ Topo maps are showing them now. Google Maps from previous years would too if Google hadn't wiped the data.

a reply to: coffeesniffer
Been debunked a couple of years ago on Quake Watch, there is no relation whatsoever between Solar Flares and Earthquakes.


Someone comes up with this every year it seems.

a reply to: muzzy

must get tiring..

a reply to: coffeesniffer
what?
having to re-do everything because of someone elses interference?
or the whole earthquake thing?

yes its real PITA having to redo all the maps because Google made a bad decision, at least I have found an alternative. On the Google Forums there are a lot of very unhappy people who have lost maps and cannot get the new MyMaps to work for them, same issues, cannot handle multiple markers. A lot of what I have done this year has been experimental, finding the right fit for my objective, which is to convert raw data to maps and images.
There are times I feel like "what's the point?" and then I see 291 people viewed just one post for what was just a pretty ordinary day siesmically, and I know that at least someone else is interested in this stuff.
It all started 9 years ago (hard to believe its been going so long) when I hurt my back and needed something to do to keep my mind active.Even after I recovered I was so hooked, I kept it going.
I suffer from insomnia too, wake up at 3am quite often and can't get back to sleep, like this morning!
Redoing NZ 2015 this morning, new images for the Flipcard screen, sharp pin marker style, working backwards.
At a glance you can see by the colours of the icons how intense the movement has been for that day, before you click on the thumbnail to open the map.
Only 55 to go to get back to Jan 1,
then just 3262 more to get back to where I started in 2006!
I couldn't do it without templates

work in progress
