Let's hope so, becasue if it's truly that shallow (or turns out to be really deep) that certainly could be a precursor to a much larger event...

Pretty poor response to this by the usgs people, its been over an hour now and they haven't even got the Phase Data up yet, let alone a review of the data

At least EMSC has published something, phase data, but no magnitudes , www.emsc-csem.org...

they use the same data from NEIR

Maybe it didn't really happen

3 and half hours and still no review of that "4.5" and theusgs 7 days page seems to have siezed up as well
Been one aftershock there, at 100 metres deep ;

someone should go and take a look at the rip in the ground

I am not sure about all you, but I feel as if everything is all too quiet with very few exceptions today. For the more educated on the subject . . . are things calming down after the Japan release . . . in your opinion, or is it building to another large release of energy in the very near future. I am thinking the later for some reason . . . in the very near future . . . a major release (not a prediction).

Hey fam,

look at the past few quakes...today

I'm not sure about the rest of the World today ( haven't looked yet) but NZ was twitching all over the place in the last 24hrs after a quiet few days late last week - 31 quakes today.
Noticed on JMA nothing over 4.9 for 3 days so yes looks like they are tapering off there

That's what I mean, with few exceptions it is quiet . . . and like you posted . . . we can see where the little bit of action is, in very specific regions. Also take a look at the changes in the N.W. seismographs, nothing major, but there has been a definite change in activity in my opinion . . . more specifically in S.W. Washington through to northern California. Maybe I just need less coffee . . .

reply to post by nonnez


I am actually thinking along the same lines as you, about a major one, especially the New Madrid.

With all this discussion about Bin Laden and the outrageous lies we are being told about it, I am starting to think like some of the posters of those discussion boards; that our 'attack' may just as well be the New Madrid fault zone...

just had a 3.1 and 2.6 in East Los Angeles, and the depth is pretty shallow, this could be a bad news.

Sadly, I think you are maybe right...

too much action over there lately....plus a few in Minnesota and Georgia??

This is scary at this point...

All these strange quakes lately. I don't get it.

It happened!! CWC.CI..BHE.2011.123

That right on top of it so I would say maybe not a 4.5

A few more today CWC.CI..BHE.2011.124

Now MPM which 54Km away does show like a 4+ MPM.CI..BHE.2011.123

RCT is 120 Km away but does not show it strongly. RCT.CI..BHE.2011.123

I think these are gas or oil wells. That is part of the area they are fracking in there.

I don't think so, Susan. They are in Mexico, close to the Texas border. And much bigger than your average fracking or oil wells. Not to mention the depth of the... 6.0 miles, give or take. That's deeper than most fracking.

Something is definitely going on down there!

Indeed

Not that rare, I'm sure there was a decent sized swarm at Owens Lake last year, same spot, on the south shore.
