I see Usgs have it on their 7 days list at 4.4mb
For some reason they used Fijian, Queensland and Alice Springs stations to get the readings, not the NZ Network
neic.usgs.gov...
and they are out by 24km (compared with the GNS plot)
Well at least its there

Seismologists are carefully watching Nevada right about now

Dang!!

edit on 16-4-2011 by ButterCookie because: (no reason given)

I haven't been watching, there are enough people "keeping an eye on it" already.

Looks pretty normal over the last 60 days anyway to me.

It is a volcanic area after all

Acitivity in Mount St. Helens(Washington) on April 14, 2011(2 Days Ago)

Mount St. Helens - Wikipedia

looking at this...
www.pnsn.org...
someone tells me its an snowplough ore other machines working on the hill of st helens?

btw. starring at the location of the nevada swarm on google earth... why do I get the feeling the swarm is on an flank of an acient crater.....??

Is it just me, or have 2.5+ gone awfully quiet.. nothing for a few hours

.... typical, 2 within mins of posting after 4 hrs quiet!!

Okay, I need my friends input on a new thread I started. I know that there have been an overwhelming number of threads on quake activity (understandably) but mine is about a theory I have been working my way towards here for well over a year now. It just makes sense to me and it involves this recent swarm in nevada.

Putting it all together



What if......????

Thanks Westcoast, been looking forward to reading your new theory.
You've been looking at the quake linkages for some time now and highly recommend everyone take a look.

wow. if you look at the current rsoe page on earthquakes, australia gets a mention numerous times. and for us, thats unbelievable. we almost never get earthquakes. the last one of any news note was the newcastle about 18 years ago where a small number of lives were lost. trust me, when we hear reports of a 2 or 3 point it makes the news here because they are so few and far between. just makes me think with this whole fault line that kind of runs right around the pacific through n.z and japan and the west coast of the americas must really be active for us to be getting shakes. queensland and tasmania would be the both im talking about. the west australia 5 pointer this morning is on the other side of the country.

reply to post by bellagirl


You mean ths one? earthquake.usgs.gov...

Yeah two in a week above 5 is rare, maybe Australia is expanding

There have been big quakes off NW WA before, and on land too further south up to Mag 7

www.seismicity.see.uwa.edu.au...

the 5 pointer in queensland was the biggest there since the 1930's. they were just speaking about it on radio then.

REVISED TO 6.6

Originally 6.7 Kermadec Island, nr New Zealand

Showing up nicely on the Geonet drums: www.geonet.org.nz...

There was just a 4.6 in the Bermuda region

I have to say I havent seen many quakes there.
And that Bermuda once was a volcano... one to watch I'd say
