Quake Watch 2011

What just went off? the GEE stations in Arkansas and Va just went nuts

Any idea?

EDIT>>>> Just found the previous post.... THANKS!

Watching GEE and all the stations I have up just picked up the Peru quake...6.8 mag.

This may mean nothing at all...but...the 6.8 in Peru is almost directly under the VA quake yesterday in the longitude...VA was -77.994 and Peru is -74.397

Something?..or nothing?

I didn't feel that quake Westcoast. It must have been smaller or someone tapped the instrument?

Different on EMSC....but what do we expect!

My bad...EMSC...not EDIS

"Maybe they are making room for the ones that are to come? Boom, boom booooom
I am going to regret saying that aren't I? "

I really AM beginning to regret saying that now!

I told you South America was over due. I was right only about that.

I said Argentia/Chile, and I thought it'd be much bigger.

So, only one out of three. Not so good.

You're methodology is lacking across the board. Just an FYI

The night is still young as they say!
Don't berrate (spelling?) yourself.
What were the other 2 by the way...missed whatever you have guestimated...so much been going on!

GFZ gave Peru a 7.0Mw, not reviewed yet though

geofon.gfz-potsdam.de...


GeoAu 6.9Mw (not finalised)
www.ga.gov.au...

I can't get a connection to Peru right now, perhaps you can, see what they have?
www.igp.gob.pe...

nothing on Brazil yet
www.obsis.unb.br...

quite a few 7 mb's on the EMSC phase data, its mostly from NEIR so USGS probably the same (I haven't looked)
www.emsc-csem.org...


usgs details page 7.0 Mw and phase data showing 7.0 too (GS)
earthquake.usgs.gov...
neic.usgs.gov...

I took a screenshot @ 7.0

from the usgs phase data

Station, Arrival Time, blah, blah, blah, Magnitude
RGRS eP 17:53:38.73 1.0 40.7 353 b:3.4+4 1.2 7.9 (highest reading)
HALT eP 17:54:15.50 -1.0 45.5 343 b:4.5+6 1.3 9.9 (must be an error)

San Leandro had another 3.6 a few hours ago and just NOW had another, mag not determined yet.

eta, just a 1.6 but this is making me nervous

USGS just revised the Peru quake to a 7.0:

The depth has also been pegged @ 145.1 km. Pretty deep.

Be Well

Did anyone notice another coincidence? Both Virginia yesterday & Peru's now, same time of day. Only 5 minutes difference!!!

(Spooky background music!)

Chalk that up to two coincidence...I posted above this:

6.8 in Peru is almost directly under the VA quake yesterday in the longitude...VA was -77.994 and Peru is -74.397

yeah its been a real PITA, just when I should be going to work
Luckily I'm self employed

so they should, everything said so in the phase data

see ya

( must be a Downunder phrase )

catchy

I think that is impressive, one out of three, better than others could do. Thank you so much for sharing all of your theories and information, as I have learned a lot from reading your posts and the articles and papers that you link to.
