Quake Watch 2017

Nothing on Useless 1 day 2.5+ since 9:15 this morning.
I kept refreshing the page thinking something wasn't loading!
Don't think I have ever seen it that sparse!
Even all mags 1 day is thin except for Alaska, California & Montana.

I guess all the activity is in Italy.

That sure is a lot of activity in Italy!

Look at it now.

Lot of 2.5-2.6's

I have to do my zzzzzz.. now. Hey Muzzy whatcha thinking. Are you awake or are ya doing the zzz.. thing. Don'tcha know you can not sleep. No No...

LOL!!! Hi you. Hope things are going well.

a reply to: crappiekat

Still were quite a few going on, but now nothing for a couple of hours. Hmmm...

Turkey's been having some too. A handful in Mexico & a few in Greece/Cyprus. France, Switzerland, China...

It's like something has shifted!

Yeah I did a check on INGV mid afternoon NZST and there hadn't been many new quakes since the morning, in fact there were less than before.
My guess is that they reviewed some and found errors.
A timeline graph will show it, I will have to make one after the Estomin v Djokovic match at the Australian Open, it's an epic match, 2 hrs so far, only on the 2nd set now

Off Topic: What a match 5 hours 5 sets, Estomin Won!. I'm not fanatical about Tennis but there isn't much on TV during the Summer break, Estomin ranked #115 or something like that, Djokovic #2. Good One. There wouldn't be a tennis fan that didn't enjoy that match, no matter who won, it was a heck of a marathon

So here is the early summary of what is happening in Central Italy data from ISIDe INGV

Timeline looks reasonably normal, can just see that gap that appeared in the data yesterday afternoon, in the middle it thinned out a bit.


The 724 events so far 32:29:21(hh:mm:ss) elapsed time since the first 5.1



The area map with each series marked by colour
This is complied by using the first 250 aftershocks for each series
If I put all the aftershocks on they would overlap, leaving no gaps.


I usually wait 3 days before I post these comprehensive series on my blog, give the network time to sort through the mess of data coming in, so I will do so in a couple of days on eqarchives.blogspot.co.nz...
you can see the full story on the other Central Italy series there BTW

a reply to: muzzy

FWIW here is an earlier map I did when the Visso series hit, after Acuumoli before Norica
you can see what I mean how they all overlap, so that is why they are split by time, its the only way to do it.

Your graphs are , like they said in the 80's...Are bitchin.'

Thanks for doing that stuff....We pay attention!

further to: muzzy
The combined map of all the Central Apennine series may be a bit misleading only using the first 250 events.
Really what it shows is that this area is a zone of elevated risk, and that there is no one fault causing all the drama.
The PDF from the Geotechnical Extreme Events Reconnaissance Association Engineering Reconnaissance of the 24 August 2016 Central Italy Earthquake. Version 2 that I put a link on the Visso Norcia page just now is a great source of information, it mentions the faults involved.
Mt.Vettore-Bove fault, MVBF;
Norcia fault, NF;
Cascia fault, CF;
Amatrice fault segment, AFs;
Campotosto fault segment, CFs;
Capitignano fault, CaF;
Upper Aterno Valley-Paganica fault system, UAV-PF;
Leonessa fault,LF;
Monti Gemelli-Montagna dei Fiori fault, MGMFF.
although their map of them is a bit small.

Putting L'Aquilla aside for now (seeing as it was 8 years ago) and also the factthat when I downloaded the data for LAquilla I did so using a rectangle rather than a centre point and km distance from, so it cuts off at Lat 42.859, which is inside the new Accumoli-Amatrice-Norcia-Visso series area, but it is very likely some of the L'Aquilla aftershocks went further north back then, and I didn't include them.

Here is a short animation showing how the 3 main events (based on time) overlap each other.
1. Accumoli ran for 17,647 events; 2. Visso for 1,800 but here is combined with Norcia for 25,818; 3. Amatrice was at 724


Although I did Accumoli as a seperate page, time has indicated that they are all related in this zone of earthquake activity 2016-2017, therefore I should combine them all in one page. But keep the maps separate for each part.
I will do this soon, and these recent events will become part of the Norcia sequence.
I don't think these 3 x 5s (biggest 5.5) warrant thier own page.
If another bigger 6 pops, well thats another story.

We are now looking at 46,065+ events since 24th August 2016.

Today being the inauguration of the 45th President of the United States, Yellowstone has decided to remind us of her presence.

446 events between my last update on 15/01 and the 5.1,5.5,5.4 of 18/01.
I did another animation to see what that showed.

You can see when you compare the latest 2.3 day map with the Amatrice one I did yesterday how the area is now filling up with events in the same sections as before. Confirming that thes 5's are definitely just part of the big Accumoli/Visso/Norcia series since 24/08/2016.

I just noticed when doing this that prior to 18/01 the largest aftershock of the 6.5 301/10/2016 was a 4.8. Even though I write up this stuff sometimes I don't see the writing when its right in front of me, that should have been a warning that there was more to come, I mean 25,000 aftershocks and the biggest was a 4.8 !!??
That is what I created the Table of 6's for, to spot these things. duh.
Even Accumoli and LAquilla (which were smaller) had 5.4 and 5.3 aftershocks repectively.
If you look over the table at other 6.5's
all the low to mid 6 quakes had M5+ aftershocks

except Northern Iabaraki !! highest has been 4.7
although that is a relatively new quake (2 weeks old), there could be a 5+ in that one yet.

Note: The Compare 6s Table will change over the weekend as I update the Japan special reports. Only doing those once a week now.

a reply to: muzzy

I love the animation.

Looks like NZ is winning. (Thank you for posting the TTNT)

Can't help myself today. Had the day off to celebrate the inauguration.

Not sure if I'm celebrating a new beginning or the end. LOL!!!

So what does it mean if a 3+ in Yellowstone has a depth of "-1.88mi" ?

4.90883 miles deep. Very shallow.

She's Talking.

It shows minor. which it is.

There's alittle swarm in the area.

I have combined all the parts of the series now Accumoli, Visso and Norcia

Mainly for the
Timeline Graph
The maps still have to be split as the limit is 10,000 icons.
I even had trouble with the graph, like Kumamoto the Excel will only show 32,000 items in 2D, and I had forgotten how to add another column of data and get it to show on the xy axis together with the first 32k

Italy is still shaking. A 4.1 is the largest.

Posted on the INGV twitter pages a video of all the quakes in Central Italy since 24th August.

Only 2+ and in 5 day batches.
But shows the drift north then back south again.
From the University of Naples.

Hey I could do that too, with university sized funding and bandwidth to play with.
Basically the same as my Gif animations but converted to a video.

Note for Japan watchers
On my Japan blog I started putting a table with the prefecture counts each day, but when I created the Excel template to calculate these I made an error in the Mag3 cell and the M3s were not counted into the text summary for the period Dec29-Jan 17.
Just fixed that.

8.0 Papua!

Just over a week since that deep 7.3 in the Philippines.

Maybe Dutchcinse isn't too far off on his predictions!
