I usually feel the ones that hit Virgina..that was little...when the big one hit VA i felt it in West Virgina..It broke my water well..LOL..How ever thank you for letting us know..The eqs there is really have to worry about

Don't know about active kdog - I have rarely seen LISS so flat as it is right now.

Perhaps the harvest moon is calming things.

Q: If anyone has downloaded my program are you only getting EMSC and GeoNet?

ETA - A: Yes you are!

us,2011peru,1,"Tuesday, October 11, 2011 23:26:01 UTC",-15.3110,-74.5740,4.6,35.00,unknown,"near the coast of southern Peru"

This is the record causing the trouble. In three years nearly of downloading these from USGS I have never seem that. It is causing the program to drop out. Fix coming up in about an hour.

I have to wonder how they can put out a record with 'number of stations' as unknown!

Could somebody please tell me what I am seeing here.. So sorry, but a girls gotta learn..

This is for La Palma.
There seems to be data missing, any ideas why?
Also, is this activity, or is this nothing?
I've been told La palma has been rumbling today...

Cheers.

Well it certainly looks from the spectrum that it is picking something up. Whether this is from La Palma or El Hierro I could not say. There does seem to be a sudden decrease at El Hierro - anyone know it the situation has changed?

The transmissions breaks I would not worry about. These are reasonably common.

reply to post by PuterMan


It's definitely La palma, according to the person who sent me the link..
Good to know about the 'missing bits'
Worth keeping an eye on?


Edited to say Thank You for having a look for me..

reply to post by PuterMan


Earthquakes today are on the down tick today at El Hierro. Tremor had a sudden drop then has been fluctuating today. Two vents have opened up in the ocean and talk of a Third. All in line heading to the coast.

The distance of the ongoing eruption of the Restinga area

1 – eruptive mouth: 5.5 – 7 miles – 970-1000 m deep
2 – eruptive mouth: 2 – 2.5 miles – 700 m depth
3 – eruptive mouth: 1 – 1.5 miles – 500 m depth

Still Red Alert with folks evacuated

EDIT to add - Puterman etal your might find This Link usefull

reply to post by Deplume


Well if that really is from La Palma - and I mean the signal is coming from La Palma rather than just being picked up by La Palma, then it could be indicating activity there as well, but it is not at all strong. I am of a mind to be thinking that the 1 Hz signal is actually coming from El Hierro.

@All: got side tracked by Jude's Greek swarm. Program is fixed. I will issue it shortly.

reply to post by Anmarie96


Thanks. I guess the drop in quakes is because the red sticky stuff is flowing! The tremor drop was very noticeable and may have been when the new vents opened. Provided they are not causing problems then they will relieve the pressure so could actually be a good thing.

reply to post by PuterMan


*Nods*

Fully possible, seeing as they were saying earlier there was so much going on they seemed to be missing tremors.
Lets hope La Palma is just rocking out to El Hierros tune?


Thanks Again.

New release available here

This only fixes the USGS text error so that you can still get the files!

Don't for get that you MUST uninstall before installing the new one. Backup up your databases (.sdf files in the program folder) first although they should not be affected by the uninstall.

Oh AND most important, if you have installed the service(s) you must stop and uninstall them as well.

The joys of Beta testing!!!

Something on another thread set me thinking about the maximum quake value each day so I pulled nearly three years of data from my database and produced a very looooooooooong graph with the max earthquake magnitude value for each day. Interestingly despite Chile and Japan the overall daily max trend is only VERY slightly up.



ETA: To save you trying to find out, the lowest magnitude on any day was 4.7 - there was just one of those.

Mag 4.8
15/05/2009 4.8
23/07/2009 4.8
27/03/2010 4.8
08/06/2010 4.8
10/09/2010 4.8
15/09/2010 4.8
12/10/2011 4.8

Here is a companion graph. The count of the number of each magnitude that made the max for any given day.

I didn't feel this one, but thought I heard something around the time it happened. It does seem a little strange that we'll go a week or more with no reported aftershocks here in VA, & then they start up again (or start to show up on usgs)

Duh, wrong thread!!

reply to post by Anmarie96

Had a read through that Jón Frímann page of comments today and read this from Lurking about the Moon/ Earthquakes connection.
www.jonfr.com...-25371
Well that does it, I been doing the same thing for 6 years on and off myself, as the interest took me, and I found the same thing ...........absolutely nothing

Thats it, no more Moon phase watching for me

even if something happens today the 12th UTC............ oh its over already, so there you go ......nothing

Its all totally random.

reply to post by muzzy


I am still open ended on that subject. I think there is more to it though than the monthly phases. Robin is much more in tune with this line of thinking - but just for a curve ball - there you go =

Here's what I've observed the last few days over the lunar cycle regarding worldwide earthquakes.

As the moon entered its full moon phase, and as it reached apogee, things kinda stopped. The 11th was a moderate day, with nothing above 5.7M. Then yesterday, at the moon's peak, activity was very quiet. So, the moon did something. Which was cause nothing to happen. Because, nothing is something.

Here's the list for yesterday.

That's a real light day.

Then the maximum gravitational pull is reach. Things freeze. The activity starts after the gravity starts to let go. And what do we have. A 6+, followed by a sizable one off Oregon.

There is a lag to everything. For example the weather. In the North, the sun maximum is June. But that's not the hottest period. Because there's a lag. The effect doesn't happen at the "stroke of midnight".

I'm sorry. I'm not at my best. Listen to this radio program and maybe you'll be able to figure out what I'm trying to get at. Or it's the program on Jupiter. I don't know. It's in the archive somewhere. My point I mean.
