Quake Watch 2011

reply to post by MoorfNZ


I was kind of wondering the same thing.

It's the lack of activity that set's one to take notice. We live on an active planet, there is a lot of energy beneath our feet and even more pouring in from sol, not to mention the thin breeze of cosmic wind that makes it though the heliopause. It all adjusts the total, which is neither created nor destroyed but rather transforms and goes on to do some other seemingly innocuous universal task.

Tell me we still have >4.5's happening outside the US...

I don't have many good international seismic links.

Yep, I always get more nervous when there are few earthquakes

Nothing nearing 4.5 on radar here in New Zealand and the European lists (EMSC) showing nothing of much consequence, too.....

*tick tick tick tick*

Well looks like i was wrong about activity picking up on the quake cam here in Los Angeles.

abclocal.go.com...

Its been kind of quiet......too quiet if you ask me.

All looks pretty normal to me.

The graphs, which I can't post are showing a steady set of magnitudes over the past 7 days and the cumulative mag 4.5 plus is also steady. Actually in terms of numbers they average around 55 quakes a day but the quietest day was the 11th but i don't think anyone noticed that.

Instead of a graph here are some figures I just ran through the database based on USGS lists for Mag 5+ earthquakes over the last 7 days. This is count of number and energy released in Gigajoules

Date, Num,GJoules
11th, 1, 63,096
12th, 5, 134,697
13th, 5, 32,354
14th, 5, 157,261
15th, 8, 5,834,895
16th, 8, 828,513
17th, 3, 56,593
18th, 1, 15,849




Pst - Want to see EMSC as a comparison? I won't charge you.

Date, Num,GJoules
11th, 1, 22,387
12th, 4, 97,096
13th, 5, 26,639
14th, 5, 132,318
15th, 8, 5,836,259
16th, 9, 849,856
17th, 4, 29,768
18th, 1, 31,622

So you know me, I have to play with number and graphs. It is 'a condition' I think.

I just had to put all of 2011 for mag 6 and mag 5 into the stored procedure I just created. Since I can't display the results here see the charts here where you can also download the XLSX file of the data and have a play for your self if you are sad like me and have nothing better to do on a Sunday.

Don't cry and don't be so sad.
The sunspots has been low past two days; IF latest theory is correct then Prediction?

Expect jump in quake numbers from 19 Sept - because current low magnetic flux from Daddy Sol.

Hi Puterman. Here's something to occupy yourself with!

Seems pretty intense activity? or just normal for Iceland?

I can't find any news reports as of yet....I am sure they are still collecting information for this Quake. The only thing I read was electricity was out.

Wishing these people all good news!

Actually for that particular area of iceland that is not out of the ordinary. It is a very active area, and guess what - they extract steam for hydro power there.

I have been occupying my time making charts. I would like an opinion on the vertical format of this one as full year graphs horizontally are difficult on web pages.

Fortunately it is relative rural with only 40k people exposed to MMI IV

I think you can say that regrettably there will be casualties.

Asia Pacific News

There were no immediate reports of any casualties or damage.

CNN

No tsunami warning was issued

Really CNN for an earthquake near Kathmandu? You don't say!

Not receiving updates on the India quake
is not good news. That to me indicates
the situation is bad.

Not necessarily. It is a very remote area.

thats what i thought,
but PTWC did issue a "message"...

don't worry...they issued the report to say NO Tsunami will be generated

A DESTRUCTIVE TSUNAMI WAS NOT GENERATED BASED ON EARTHQUAKE AND

HISTORICAL TSUNAMI DATA. THIS EARTHQUAKE IS LOCATED TOO FAR

INLAND TO GENERATE A TSUNAMI IN THE INDIAN OCEAN.

The caps are theirs, not mine

gday PuterMan, and thanks...

i know it said no tsunami, i just wondered why they issued it in the first place...


plus, i didnt see this listed here... 4.1, queensland australia...

not big, i know, but not far from me...

and E/Q's not all that common around there...

Now this is strange. The bird we have here in a cage freaked out squawking for 15 minutes and the birds outside all started carrieng on as well. I was outside and decided better check the stuff out.
When I checked the Earthquake info there seems to have been one many many miles away. Like

Magnitude: 3.8

now all is normal here again just an occasional bird singing. Was very freaky and rather annoying.

You mean you caan't see the trace page?
I opened view image and copied the image address.
its on the link of the event page off the main page list anyway.
You can see the main page?
