Thank you for posting that link.

I think that's so awesome to be able to see the wave animation.

yeah its a good site.
I go there straight away if there is a decent earthquake to the NW of me, I know that a 7.2 (emsc) isn't going to effect us, I reckon it would have to be close to a M9 from there to give us a wash down, but none the less its always worth a look.

Swarm at Stump Swamp, south end of Lake Taupo, all small ones


those Red traces aren't part of this swarm, there were a few M3's elsewhere in the NI.
NZTopoMap is down HTTP Error 503. service is unavailable, for me right now, so here's the Bing Map version, that biggest Red trace must be the 3.4 over towards Hawke Bay (#1 on the list)

In fact that site has quite a good recent historical record of Tsunamis, back to 2002 anyway.
So I have utilized it, and added 12 new items to the comments column in the 2015 file for a start.
A 0.1m -0.4m Tsunami probably doesn't mean much to most people who don't know the locations, but if it is somewhere you live or have visited yourself it then becomes relevant. Even 0.4m (1.3ft) of water can do a lot of damage if it is traveling fast enough.
Always handy to have for the records anyway.

Looks as if the Greek network has succumbed to the problems in that country. No data since the 18th on the monthly list and the recent alerts stop at the 9th.

Whilst that gentleman has got better in recent years he still has a tendency to cojones. Sometimes the predictions reflect the hallucinogenic nature of his name.

I was doing some reading today, and came across this article. Since John Vidale has posted here At ATS, I thought some of you might appreciate this.

As for the topic of the article, the reality of the senario scare's the day-lights out of me. But we can't live in fear of the unknown. Life will go on. If you live in the PNW, please take personal responsiblity and make sure you are prepared as best as you can.

That's a little bigger than the norm...

a reply to: Darkblade71

felt a little bigger than that... even my dogs "alerted" on this one.

I thought we`d had another 4 pointer here in Arkansas from the rattles etc.

I'm watching to see if it is upgraded.
There was a 3.2 just a little bit ago.
