Thanks, your link didn't work for me. Does mine work for you?

NE Wyo Quake - USGS

I see it's reduced to 4.5 instead of 4.8

I phoned Gillette, Wyo an hour or more ago and they felt nothing.

Confirmed - quarry blasts are common SE of Gillette and normally are not listed as quakes because the miners are required to turn in blasts to USGS ahead of time.

and mb too, not ML, crikey thats equal to 85 tons of TNT

ya thats what i was thinking,,

cool.

What about this little guy?

Magnitude 4.1 - Off the Coast of Baja
You'll notice that the historical seismicity shows no previous quakes in the vicinity. Very strange place to see a quake methinks?

May is gearing up for a biggie!

But where?

Most of the activity in last 8 hours has been along the North American West Coast. Events getting larger as they move South.

Peru/Chile?

Very little happening elsewhere in comparison.

Something is wrong here

www.emsc-csem.org...

They are saying 5.4 mb. That is way too much difference. Someone is wrong. I wonder who it might be????

Geofon 5.9

geofon.gfz-potsdam.de...

That sounds a better match to EMSC.


USGS phase data in

mb = 5.6 (343) ML = 6.0 ( 14) mblg = 5.2 ( 14) md = 0.0 ( 0) MS = 0.0 ( 0)

neic.usgs.gov...

6.3 Mw my foot.


USGS Moment tensor wphase in 6.0 Mw - watch it change

earthquake.usgs.gov...


CPP moment tensor 6.1 Mw
www.emsc-csem.org...


The Russians now have it - 6.1 mb :puz; that does NOT make sense, but only on 7 stations so...

Never mind the Russians

GeoAzur SCARDEC just in. 6.0 Mw

And finally

Magnitude 6.0

I'll post my opinion when it comes up on SNZO.
LR wave should have arrived at 23 31 07, but LISS have yet to update since 23:18 UTC

it should look like a smaller version this one Chiapas 6.3

P wave and S waves are identical but the critical LR wave is a lot smaller height wise than the 6.3.
Hard to say 5.9 or 6.1 either way
LISS SNZO
need to find a similar 5.7 - 6.0 from the area, but my database of graphs is a bit limited.

Hm, no historical seismicity. Very unusual.

This event has been reviewed by a seismologist.

NRCan has this guy at 4.3 and more west of the southern part of the Hudson Bay, hm.

Weird little 3.9 in upper Ontario.

Don't see these 'round these parts often.

Ah, just beat me to it, Murkraz. But yes, very strange region. Fracking?

Love the thread by the way and will contribute as much as possible.

Don't even worry about it bud.

I can't see it being fracking way up there, but it could be. Seems pretty barren.

reply to post by muzzy


Too tired to check myself. Will wait for your data.

Lunar / Celestial page ready

'nite all.

Ha ha. I gave Puterman his ten thousandth star. Well, the last few as well.I'm like Monk. I like round numbers. No one give anymore. It must stay at a round number.

Wow. I live in Ontario and we got a quake. Actually, in Kenora we had a 1.7M that someone in town felt. We a long way away for James Bay so I don't think anything.

any chance that ottawa quake is connected to any of the diamond mines in the area?

edit on 1-5-2012 by UFO1414 because: (no reason given)

No fracking there
Only a open pit DeBeers Diamone mine 90 Km west of Attawapiskat, Ontario
I work there and we don't even fell it 3 km away

here the report not event close to the mine

EMSC definitely off the mark with this 22:43:34 Chiapas one at 5.3 now. It is mb, but still a bit low I think.
I seen Kermadec coming on late this afternoon so waited for the LISS to update before saving the graph.

According to EMSC the 16:37:59 quake at Guerrero was a bigger 5.5 (others have that one at 5.7), but on SNZO the trace is smaller than the Chiapas one

Na
I'm going for 5.9

I am not sure why EMSC dropped from 5.4 to 5.3 and retained mb BUT they have revised and are now showing 6.0 Mw

www.emsc-csem.org...

LDEO are also showing 6.0 MW so that may have something to do with it!

On the subject of planetary 'alignments' / conjunctions /oppositions or whateva 'ere is sum low down info on the effects of gravity and tides on our planet using the Moon as the benchmark (Moon=1)



It is a little disappointing really. Not really much affect at all.In fact if ALL of those were on the same line the total is only 0.01701.

Then consider an 'alignment' where Jupiter is on the opposite side. The gravitational effect on us is reduced for 0.01 to 0.005 and that is a big chunk of that 0.01701 gone - in fact 0.005 of it leaving 0.01201

Sources: Harmonic Con(game)vergence and Planetart Alignments: Fact or Fiction

And if you are not sufficiently 'undoomed' yet you could try 2012 Hoax: Planetary Alignments from which I got the above links.

And finally:

The line at the top of each of the above graphs (roughly where the Venus spikes max out) corresponds to a tidal acceleration that is one ten-thousandth as strong as the Sun's average tidal acceleration on Earth (or over 20,000 times smaller than the tidal acceleration induced twice every day by the Moon). The low line on the graphs, close to the long-term average of the net planetary tide, is one one-hundred-thousandth of the average solar tide. So, as expected, the gravitational influence of the planets on the Earth is utterly insignificant. We're saved!

(Not sure which line is refereed to as I don't see one above the Venus spikes but the figures speak for themselves. No scale references so not easy to see what this is.)
The Influence of the Planets

But never mind. I shall still continue to collect the lunar and celestial data around the time of each Mag 6+, even if only so someone in the future can make use of it to prove a point. (Either way as the data is unbiased)
