It appears yesterday's global incident map glitch is continuing today. They are not showing new quakes on the map however down below they are...just a few yellow circles left from old quakes

I'm no seismolgist, but I am a geologist. The original magnitude of -0.3 is correct; it's not a glitch. If you understand how a seismogram works, you should also know the math involved. A previous poster illustrated it, but I don't think anybody read it. Page 3. Point blank: there was a -0.3M EQ, and we didn't feel it because it's like a mosquito flying into an elephant. The map, on the other hand, would be a glitch. It's not that the software can't handle +10 readings(because they are designed to read up to between 15 and 20, depending on the program), it's more like the mapping system on the OP's link is misleading and inaccurate. The colors and size of the circles don't seem to be based on anything. I checked the numbers and checked them against the other reports on that site and nothing suggests that there was anything worth reporting. It didn't show up on USGS because 1: it's not a threat to national security(that's a cheap shot at US policy, if you missed that) and 2: it was too insignificant to report.
And yes, I believe we all know the big one was a glitch. But a fun one!

The global incident map is not just fed from USGS. It also takes a feed from Canada and various other places as I do.
This was a minus 0.3 ( -0.3) ML quake.

Wth.. this can't be true..
It must be true. Anyone that follows EQ's knows that a site with a feed from the USGS can't report incorrectly right?
I have yet to see puterman reply to anything in that thread yet today...hopefully soon!

Accepted, yes glitch on the Global Incident site but not as some were saying a glitch on the provider's site.
Yup, both right!
