Anyone else having problems with GEE? I haven't been able to get it to load for over a day now.

reply to post by broahes

GEE is working OK for me, including B205 and B206 which have been
missing data for over a day. B944 still says no data available.

I've contacted them and sent my bug email, I'm hoping to hear back from them. Perhaps it has become corrupted in some way.. I may need to do a clean install. It seems everything loads fine, but in the progress, the map will not load no matter how long I wait.

Thanks for the response.

reply to post by EngTech36

That has happened to me several times. But I was able to get it going
by clicking on the edit button and using the station finder without the map
and selecting some stations that way to watch. Once I get GEE going,
I don't turn off my computer. Sometimes my map page will show the
location of some quakes, but never fill in the stations.

Hope you get it going.

Sorry I clicked the wrong button. See previous post.

I should have felt this one, only 24 minutes ago and 91km to the West of me. Quite deep though, in fact just about as deep as distant.

Methinks that last one could have easily been quite bigger, there has been a bit of activity in that area last 24hrs. Its an area I call Zeehaens Bight, it encompasses Cook Strait, South Taranaki Bight, Wanganui Basin, Marlborough Sounds and Tasman Bay. Abel Tasman named it such on one of his maps when he was "discovering" NZ in 1642. Zeehaen was the name of one of his ships.
There have been 5 quakes above 3.0 within the Zeehaens Bight in the last 24hrs. They are marked on the list in bold type.
Heres a list of the 3.0+ in NZ since yesterday.

OK now what happened to that 5.0 north of Oakland?

They took it off?

Was there one or wasn't there???

Now it's off the map completely. I was trying to understand how a 5.0 earthquake could have occurred so close to Oakland with nobody self reporting it and nothing in the news. Apparently, that's because it never happened.

What is up with the USGS website lately? Almost makes me wonder if they're doing some kind of experience to see how quickly earthquake news disperses around the world. Unfortunately, the explanation is probably not that cool.

5.0 was deleted. Nothing showing up on the seismo's.

Hmmm...

Moderate earthquake strikes north of Oakland, California
wireupdate.com...

LOS ANGELES (BNO NEWS) -- A moderate 5.0-magnitude earthquake struck 40 miles north of Oakland, California on Friday afternoon, seismologists said. It struck about 3.1 miles deep, making it a shallow earthquake, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

very strange...ghost EQ's and Seismologist Reporters...

USGS says earthquake report in northern California was false
wireupdate.com...

LOS ANGELES (BNO NEWS) -- The U.S. Geological Survey on Friday accidentally reported a moderate earthquake north of the city of Oakland in northern California, a spokesman said. The U.S. Geological Survey initially said the 'earthquake' at 12.43 p.m. local time was centered about 7 miles (11 kilometers) northeast of Napa, or 40 miles (64 kilometers) north of Oakland. It said the 'earthquake' struck about 3.1 miles (5 kilometers) deep, which would have made it a shallow earthquake. However, a spokesman later said the data was generated by an automated earthquake-detection system. "After further review we determined the earthquake to be non-existed."

Here is the seismo's for the west coast. No 5.0. - wondering what they were looking at. Maybe They started in early with the cocktails for the weekend.

Looks like someone kicked the siesmo at Cahto Peak at 11:14:30 PDT

edit a few hours later: ha! its levelled out now at 11:14-12:00, must have been a glitch in the system. Should have taken a screenshot, no one will know what I was talking about now

I see you posted this one, but your data says 6.0

Magnitude 6.7 (Preliminary magnitude — update expected within 15 minutes)
Date-Time

* Friday, April 30, 2010 at 23:11:43 UTC
* Friday, April 30, 2010 at 02:11:43 PM at epicenter

Location 60.370°N, 177.560°W
Depth 10 km (6.2 miles) set by location program
Region BERING SEA

The USGS was 6.7. What was your data source?

Odd one this, right in the middle of nowhere and not near any trench or fault lines.

Edit: Downgraded to a 6.3
