Quake Watch 2012

I to will be watching this post. I live in so. cal. we get a far share of earth shaker's. i can't wait to see what happen's this year!

I was watching all the smaller tremors stack up earlier area that vicinity. Not surprised, glad it's a safe size-depth.

There's been an uptick at Long Valley this past week. Will also post on the Volcano Watch Thread... Time to keep the peepers peeping

I wouldn't be overly concerned, the Aegean is always active.
Heres n interactive map of all the quakes listed above Mag 2+ since Jan 1 2012 by the National Observatory of Athens up to 2012-01-21 09 59 54 UTC
Each icon is marked with the day of the month.

Hopefully the icons show for you, I've been having trouble seeing some of them this year when there are more than 100 on an individual map, I don't think Google Maps can cope with that many custom icons.
Works OK if you copy and paste the address (KML file) into an empty address bar and will open in Google Earth, assuming you have GE

Count
293 @ 2.0-2.9
41 @ 3.0-3.9
1 @ 4.1

edit on 21-1-2012 by muzzy because: (no reason given)

The area o Patras has had devastating quakes in the past. I'm on the watch everyday on various Earthquake monitor sites because I live in Greece. I know that we have every day minor quakes, but they were too many in one area in a very short time period. That's all I'm saying

USGS has upgraded magnitude of Mexico quake to 6.3

yeah I ear what you are saying, with a name like Hellas I assumed thats where you were.
Just didn't seem that close together location wise, so I did the download for my own satisfaction anyway.
I have a look at the Aegean about every two months, they sure have developed the siesmo coverage recently in the last year, lots of Mag 1's showing now
As you say Patras and Gulf of Corinth always twitching away.
Heres your 5 quakes Hellas Quakes locations

***********

I was awakened this morning by the sound of a loud explosion - I waited for the house to shake because I thought it was a P wave. No shaking, so I got up and checked my cam view from Lawrence Hall of Science that looks west out over Berkeley. Nothing (was looking for smoke),, anyways this explosion I heard was at the same time of the 6.3 quake in Mexico this morning. Just was strange because I think it might have been inside my head

None of the neighbors heard it.

^ You missed the 6.2 prior to the 5.2
