Aiiiieeee! can't keep up
It looked like it was tapering off before that last 6.6
this is quite an interesting series of earthquakes, can't remember seeing anything similar before, only thing that comes close is the 2011 Japan 9.0 (The 2012 Sumatra 2x8's didn't have any foreshocks from memory)
have to go do some real work, will do another update in about 6 hours.
Be still Santa Cruz!

Looks like Utah is getting its own little cluster of activity.
Interesting that its moved east from nevada to utah over the last few days in a pretty linear fashion.

It's all that magma just itching to come to the surface

Anyone know what is the opposite word/s for Elapsed Time for the Foreshocks?

I don't think there is an antonym for elapsed, at least not that I can think of.

Yes, Bo Xian, and it was brought to remembrance shortly after this Santa Cruz 8 mag. I read it most recently and have been wracking my brain trying to remember who gave it and where it was found. It was, quite possibly, in a video and I'm pretty sure the term, "Polynesian," was used in the text. ~
