How can they mistake a 6.2 for a 7.5?!? Wow, that's a big difference!

They´ve inserted a magnitude 6.3 quake

USGS

BTW, depth was only 7 km.

And I agree, how can they say 7.5 and then 6.3 or 6.2? That´s a big difference.

Hmm...take a look at this list for today:
www.aeic.alaska.edu...

Do I see a 7.47 mag. correctly? And where are those two mag 6's at? I've refreshed the page three times already (I got to the page at 04:00 PM AKDT) and I still see the mag 7.47.

The West Coast & Alaska Tsunami Warning Center is reporting a 6.7 and I don't see two mag 6's either.

Go to the USGS and you can see the two 6.0+ quakes.

Notice that they are only a minute apart, but a considerable difference in depth.

This one grabbed my eye this evening. Saw all the 4.5+ and scrolled down to see how early they started, it was these two just before lunch.

A note tho, of these two, they are not even a minute apart, but only 5 seconds, yet a depth difference of just over 41km.

Take a minute to read some of the other information at USGS and you will see that it is explained. The first reporting is raw data from a sensor. You will also get multiple postings of quakes that appear like a swarm that are readings from other sensors. When the data is compiled... usually a few hours later, the original earthquake will be downgraded.

Lots of good links to research data at this thread

My biggest concern is how quiet the California Area is considering todays activity on the Ring

Volcanoes erupting part of all these little earthquakes in Alaska?

Here is more DID YOU FEEL IT?


Here is a good one that puts it in perspective,

MAGNITUDE

notice the number per day of each intensity. Kinda interesting

Fringefellow - Thanks for the info. I was just wondering why that particular site I went to didn't record the two 6's as it was being constantly updated. Does that particular site get reviews from a seismologist?

Maybe it's so quiet because I'm here.

No, but seriously, I've been feeling very uncomfortable here. I don't know what it is that is going to happen, but I feel something big is coming. And to tell you all the truth...if I could, I would move as far away from Cali as I can.

Ah I see... hmmmm special powers eh? COOL ummm can I get you to move to Yellowstone?

To all you earthquake watchers out there... let me ask you one question... are any of you ready with a "quick escape kit" in case the big one hits YOUR neck of the woods?

In theory you should be, considering you will most likely know ahead of time. Just food for thought

You know, I was thinking that very thing yesturday, moving to Wyoming...then I remembered that's where yellowstone is. And nope...no special powers. I was just putting my two cents in. Maybe I should have used a cheesy smile instead.

Yep, I am good for a while....... My biggest concern is when all the folks leave the big city and start to find their way out to my neck of the woods in the mountains looking for help ( food and such).......

I figure on about three weeks or more depending on the scale of an event before people start showing up.
