Quake Watch 2011

reply to post by wasobservingquietly


I checked on the quake a few weeks ago. The quake was Oct. 19. The problem is I checked the hurricane tracks and none of them were off New York in October. So, I doubt the link with that quake. At least directly.

And another. About 2.3M. That's 4 in the last six hours.

Wow, they posted this one within the hour.

Maybe something shook them awake.

Filling out the comments section on the "did you feel it" page seems to help.

Maybe the fact that some of us are doing that in great detail gives them the idea that WE aren`t sleeping on the job!!!!!

Communication is humanity's greatest asset. Don't worry, they may be asleep, but I'm usually watching. I don't usually pull up GEE, but I wanted to watch for the little stuff. Right now it's regular. I'm not seeing lots of tiny ones between.

Are you in Greenbier or elsewhere?

I`m south of Little Rock.... between Little Rock and Hot Springs.

Magnet Cove is about an 8 minute drive from here.

Even the Chief of police here mentioned the ground in his front yard has a new "ridge" in it since this started this year. It takes a lot for him to comment on something, so to me that is significant.

He also has seen an commented on the obvious damage in my house and shop. He was stationed in Japan while in the Navy, and quakes are not his favorite thing!

Been reviewed by a seismologist and it still shows 0 depth?

Looks like another revision will be forthcoming.

Yeah I keep waiting on the depth myself. I mean...come on already!

I've had a busy day today and am now back home checking out the EQ's and notice two in Arkansas again today and then this one in California..... I'm aware.

Can you take a photo of what he is seeing in his yard? I have checked when I thought something was going on today but have not loaded GEE. I'm getting ready for shows this weekend and have been busy and haven't had the time to monitor anything. I'm getting a little nervous and hearing rumbling off and on and it's been more frequent the past few days.

4.8 Just hit the biggest we have had for a while
not violent, more swaying motion, but went on for quite some time

Universal Time October 8 2011 at 3:17

Check out the Yellowstone seismos. Most of them look like you'd expect on a day like today, but Mt Sheridan & Pelican Cone especially are really something. They look like tapestries! I don't think I've ever seen one that 'full' before!

It got zapped

Reduced in value to 5.9. Buy now while stocks last!

Sheridan looks OK now. Not sure why Pelican Cone is showing like that. Here it is on the IRIS version: YPC.WY..EHZ.2011.281 and on this it looks like tree roots causing it. Is it very windy there today?

reply to post by jadedANDcynical


Looks like a computer generated depth.

Moment Tensor solution

No phase data for that one either.

GVN.NN..EHZ.2011.280 Hmm..... and LCH.NN..EHZ.2011.280 Ho hum......

Why do I have the feeling it's going to be an active if not eventful week end?? Hmmmm.
Sorry we beat you in the RWC PuterMan......NOT! Lol!

I was off wandering around the seismos of the world like you do........well no I was actually looking for seismos in Chile because I could spell Chile and needed an example for my help files. To cut a loooong story shrt I saw a beautiful little quake on PEL.G.00.HNE.2011.281 and thought, 'Mmm, that looks a nice one'. Is it in the lists?

Bur no it was not. So I pulled up my trusty Chilean earthquake page and found this one.

Only a 3.4 - it looks so much more grown up than that. The other one is the Mag 2.2 at 05:42 UTC and the even smaller one is actually the 2.5 at 04:42:48 which is out to sea.

I have been paying attention to the ionospheric tec maps of late, and South America is "in the red" today.

Might be interesting in the quake department down south
