Quake Watch 2010

Now would that little fella be the one that just downed our internet for an hour or more? Set fire to the bog he did and burned an ESB power pole cutting of the supply to the ISP. The diesel generators cut in, but the leprechaun got in and caused them to fail so they switched to battery and 20 minutes later we were down when the batteries ran down.

Oh the joys of the Internet in rural Ireland!

Andreanof is having a rumble, but otherwise it is almost back to 'normal' before Chile popped its cork. And this is too quiet??

So, It was quiet - Troubles with the internet here - I was just out for 1/2 hour

MAP 3.0 2010/03/09 20:12:10 33.418 -119.160 10.0 38 km ( 23 mi) ENE of San Nicolas Is., CA
MAP 3.7 2010/03/09 20:05:10 36.211 -117.919 4.3 9 km ( 6 mi) SE of Olancha, CA
MAP 2.8 2010/03/09 10:36:20 40.289 -124.403 0.8 OFFSHORE NORTHERN CALIFORNIA

Last one's shallow? What's up with that? and right on the main intersection

I downloaded quakedata :-) - now trying to figure out how to import info from USGS as it is not importing automatically - is it suppose to?

If you are talking about the big pike that would be the reaction from MAP 3.7 2010/03/09 20:05:12 36.060 -117.873 2.4 7 km ( 4 mi) ENE of Coso Junction, CA

Looks a little backwards though

reply to post by Anmarie96


Thats what i thought, and thank you for clarifying that for me, thought perhaps I was going Seismo Dyslexic or something...

I didn't realize how close this quake was to China Lake Naval Weapons Center, check it out on google maps, looks like within 25 miles, no speculation here, just observation, due to the shallow quake depth.

Fair amount of quakes round that area of Olancha, and Coso Junction, (close to China Lake)I think that is an old Caldera there also, but have to go check for sure. Just a little off the top of my head, I know nothing of all the charts you all monitor and quite frankly can only manage to care about your summaries, the details are over my head!

Yes it was thank you very much (and it did work YAY!!). The SEED manual of course - I was looking in that the other day.

Thanks again.

The automatic bit is set up as a Windows task. There should have been a manual downloaded to tell you how to do that.

Otherwise just click on File > Import Quake Data > USGS 7 day file, or just hold down the Alt key and press 7.

(You need to check in Settings that everything is set up) There are fairly comprehensive help files if you get stuck or you can u2u me.

It's far too quiet for my liking. I'm getting the same vibes as I did a day before the Chile quake. I wouldn't be surprised to see something significant - I think in California area - in the next couple of days.

Maybe I should have said that I most of the time base my statements on historical data that I have from some areas from before 1900 up to present day?

M 7.7, Andreanof Islands, Aleutian Islands, Alaska, February 14, 1905
M 7.3, Andreanof Islands, Aleutian Islands, Alaska, March 31, 1913
M 7.4, Andreanof Islands, Aleutian Islands, Alaska, July 07, 1929
M 7.3, Andreanof Islands, Aleutian Islands, Alaska, September 03, 1937
M 8.6, Andreanof Islands, Aleutian Islands, Alaska, March 09, 1957
M 7.7, Andreanof Islands, Aleutian Islands, Alaska, May 07, 1986
M 7.9, Andreanof Islands, Aleutian Islands, Alaska, June 10, 1996

And several more in the range of M7. but I do not need to post now I guess.

I do not think that looking at the last 356 days would give any indication of anything. I believe that it have to be done using historic data from the area. Then looking at the trends of "today" and then see how it fit the historical data and trends you have gathered about that particular area.

Earth has been quiet for about 4 hours...

This one is lower down where there have been no quakes yet.

Not only lower but over the plate line onto the Nazca Plate

reply to post by Anmarie96


Yes, I agree, and could the movement indicate a larger disruption of the plate??? What will happen if she slips close to the plate boundry, I wonder?

What I DON'T ever want to see...

I was so bored. I did this in Paint. I refresh my USGS page constantly, I always close my eyes when it does, and wonder what I will see this time.
