In some parts of the US people are earthquake aware, but the images I saw on TV today, with people being sent out on the streets in Washington (where they would be an easy "target" for falling debris from the buildings in the even of a second earthquake), was a good example that some people should learn a little more about earthquakes.
In the US we are not Earthquake aware....storms...yes....but not EQ's. I have never experienced one so therefore I want to learn as much as I can about them.
I don't think there's any special case for the 37º latitude here, it's just a question of how we look at the data.
With the obvious 37 link here in the US it is an observation we may need to consider as we watch more EQ's unfold so we may assess the situation if we continue to see 37.
That's why I spend so much time here, since 2004.
I love all the opinions on this site....thank God we all have a place to come and talk "shop".

What is that supposed to show? Without knowing what it shows it's not possible to make an attempt at interpreting that chart.
Yes, because before commenting on it I need to know if I am looking at a list of worldwide earthquakes or European earthquakes, for example, because if they are just European earthquakes then the higher numbers around parallel 37 is natural and expected.

I am a mommy too, and this has so much to do with the way I am reacting to everything. I try to imagine what my state of mind would be if I did not have children. I think I would be a lot more fascinated and even excited about the changes. But the little ones have me obsessed with preparation. Hell, I even moved away from the coast and to a higher elevation. Just to be on the safe side.
I can't even confide to my closest friends as to the real reasons behind my move. I know they'd think I'm a nut.

Nice chart, but biased in favour of the USA latitudes.
The overwhelming vast majority of the worlds seismometers are in the USA...

As your chart shows, "all magnitudes" is detecting everything. Which is what almost nowhere else in the world actually does.
The very earthquake prone region north of Australia (about 0 to -10 latitude), for example, gets more earthquakes than the USA, but on your graph is nearly invisible. How many seismometers do you think Papua New Guinea and the Solomon islands has? Possibly a few. Indonesia would have a handful, I suppose.

hello all ... just updating for 8/25 ...
here is the USGS listing for activity along or near the 37th parallel ...
that is a bold-faced lie ... here's the proof ...
The whole list since June and not one single earthquake listed less than magnitude 4.
and if you'll notice, Japan is included in my previous listing as it is the only of these, occurring on or near the 37th

perhaps not to you so why are you in this thread trying desperately to derail it?
One day you have to face the truth. 37.75 degrees just isnt that significant

i do believe you are confused.
i am not concerning myself with 'other' latitudes in this exercise, why would you?
They (other latitudes) are irrelevant.
The Indonesian RoF is a separate concern and not applicable in this observation exercise ... is my english bad or something?
the 'source' is from an American observation team ... why would they list minimal impacts occurring elsewhere? they have their own sources for such information, as do i.
the 37th parallel is not exclusive to America ... and i'm well aware of such but it certainly doesn't pass through, encompass or even skirt by the RoF ... besides, if you are observing the RoF and find concerns that need or should be mentioned, please start a thread of your own, plenty of us would contribute.
that is a bold-faced lie ... here's the proof ...

now, perhaps you meant to infer that the above source doesn't list other worldly events less than a mag 4 but so what? plenty of resources do track and list such events.
perhaps not to you so why are you in this thread trying desperately to derail it?
One day you have to face the truth. 37.75 degrees just isnt that significant
btw, one day YOU will have to face the obvious truth ~~
