Quake Watch 2010

reply to post by MoorfNZ


That's the thing, I really am not that close to it. I am on the northern coast of washington. I don't think it was a coincidence though. I pulled up GEE for Baker, Helens and Rainier and there was a small quake at baker at about the same time and at first I thought that maybe it was that, but the off-shore one was much larger and more plausible, I think. Although I am less than an hour from Baker....maybe they are even connected? It wouldn't suprise me at all.

No, it's new to him, and the other's who did not see your post a few back....

I don't like it when the Juan de Fuca has something to say. Everyone please tell it to quiet down, now. This week I feel like I'm watching a roulette wheel spin every time I reload the earthquake map.

I moved my daughters bed out from under where an old chimney passes through to the roof a few nights ago, I feel like one of these times it will be our turn in Cascadia.

There's been a lot of activity in the vicinity of Salinas CA and West to the coast lately, as well. Makes me wonder if something's brewing in that part of CA.

Love the Roulette wheel analogy... Put me on Black 26 for $500, and spin again... Better yet, I'll take Red 8.5 for...say oh about 45 second's....

House wins !!

2500 - that's 500 new quakes in less than 24 hours (approximately 23 hours)

Hi, if you are talking about the little squiggly line that starts at 16:48:30
UTC and then continues on the next line with large waves, I believe that
was caused by (see the edit below).

As the graph shows it would take about 4 minutes for the P wave to
arrive at the Washington area. The larger signal on the next line is the
S waves for the quake. And that quake is large enough to show up on
seismometers all over the states. It will look different depending on the kind of seismometer it is.

On the off shore Oregon quake, it makes me nervous, living near Portland and hearing frequently how we are over due for a 9 Plus quake
off the coast.

Edit: Link removed. What I was trying to post was this:

which has a beautiful graphic of P-wave travel times. (Why won't it copy here?)

Thanks for the info, I'll bet you are right!

I'm also keeping a close eye on those off-shore quakes. Fortunately, that's the first one in awhile now, and hopefully the last again for awhile.

I really don't want to see this 'swarm' head this way.
