Quake Watch 2013

See what I said? and now 3 5ers today...
and this has nothing to do with prediction. this is just a normal cycle. I hope some people on this forum will learn this one day.
Even though that are the ones that are not in the quake watch threads.

Tomorrow this quake will drop off the 7 days listings. GFZ and EMSC both have, and have always had, it at 6.1 but USGS had maintained 5.9 despite that fact that their wphase moment tensor shows 6.0. Their body MT used to but has been changed.

what say ye?

That theory has been dis-credited, again.
Where's the Java quake?
oh its over in the Azores

reply to post by dreamfox1


This seismogram is from a station on the island where the quake was just 16km off the coast.



What is going on? Who knows? Biggie on the way? Maybe!

This 5.7 off the coast of Japan is getting awfully close to the triple junction!

Iceland was the hardest, they way they present their dates is a nightmare for Excel to format, and I gave up trying to get the location names.

Why does the USGS keep posting, removing, and then reposting earthquakes? I have earthquake 3D. If I move it to show me just today's quakes none of those around yellowstone show up in spite of them being there only 1 hour ago. If I tell it to show me the past 7 days they are showing that 8 happened today (5/113). If I put it on 2, 3, or 4 day history it shows nothing. All have today's data but you have to go back 7 days to have them show up. Then intellicast is showing two that happened on 4/30i n these areas that the USGS erased and did not repost.


All have been posted 4/30 and 5/1 in real time
4/30 erased about 12 hours later even though in distinct spots (Idaho and Montana). Have not been put back on
5/1 posted in real time
All but two of 5/1 quakes taken off
All 5/1 quakes put back on as happening today but if set to show quakes for today, last 2 days, etc not there. Have to go to 7 day history.

Probably a glitch with my ipad but it just seems strange as all else is working.

I have taken pictures of the earthquakes that have appeared and disappeared from places like Idaho, Montana, and Utah but am unable to upload them for lack of a link.

One killed and over 20 injured in J&K 5.8 scale earthquake on May 1, 2013

Srinagar, May 1 (IBNS): At least one person was killed and 20 others were injured as earthquake measuring 5.8 on the Richter Scale rocked Jammu and Kashmir on Wednesday, reports said.

The tremors were felt in parts of north India, including New Delhi, reports said.

One person was killed in the quake at Chenab valley in the state.

Several buildings in the area developed cracks, an official said.

The quake occurred at around 12.27 pm.

The epicentre of the quake was located at latitude 33.1 degrees North and longitude 75.8 degrees East in Jammu and Kashmir, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) website said.

Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah tweeted: "Yup, I felt those tremors in Srinagar. Strange thing was that I heard the rumble before the house started to shake."

I was experiencing difficulties with the USGS Beta recent quakes page. It would load okay with any setting (I use 7 day, show all), but once it would do an automatic update, it would only show quakes thru 30 April at 23:59:59 UTC.

It seems to be better today. Maybe USGS is just working out some kinks on their end...

Yesterday USGS upgraded the Mexico quake which everyone has had at 6.1.

I said they would do it after the 7 days were passed an lo and behold, upgrade from 5.9 to 6.0

Here is what I said at the time

Why do they do this when we know, and therefore they must know, that they are going to raise it up?

From 26 April to 01 May inclusive USGS has had some serious data problems that I can see, I have multiple additions and deletions of quakes over that period of time - Afghanistan, Bolivia, Oregon, British Virgins , Nevada, Oklahoma and several in California and a great bunch in Alaska.

None in Yellowstone however so maybe the list I use was not affected?

These are the quakes that I have for Yellowstone in the past 7 days (M1+)

Here's what I'm showing today (all listed as 5/2/13) on earthquake 3D and using USGS1 or USGS7 doesn't make a difference.

1.5 yellowstone 4:34:36 GMT 10 km deep
1.0 yellowstone 4:34:46 GNT 2 km deep
1.0 yellowstone 4:34:57 GMT 2 km deep
1.1 yellowstone 4:38:44 GMT 3 km deep
1.4 yellowstone 4:42:39 GMT 7 km deep
1.5 yellowstone 4:43:26 GMT 11 km deep
1.1 yellowstone 4:43:42 GMT 5 km deep
1.9 yellowstone 4:52:14 GMT 10 km deep
2.0 western MT 15:47:14 GMT 24 km deep
2.9 Colorado 13:11:12 5 km deep
1.1 Utah 2:54:15 GMT 4 km deep
2.6 Colorado 13:16:21 5 km deep
1.1 Utah 14:05:44 2 km deep

I will get those I took pics of yesterday (dated 5/1) to see if they are duplicates. I counted 16 in the general area so far today so hope I listed them all. Not too worried but also confused about how maps are showing them.

reply to post by Dianec


Okay here are the three I didn't get in my list

1.3 western mt 04:25:31 GMT 13 km deep
1.5 yellowstone 05:18:06 6 km deep
2.1 southern Idaho 10:46:15 21 km deep

All dated 5/2/13.

reply to post by Dianec


I'm fairly certain the USGS site is screwed up but here is what I had/have on my map for 5/1

1.4 utah 21:3028 GMT 2 km deep. (This one is listed twice on the map)
1.4 Utah 21:35:42 GMT 1 km deep
1.6 Utah 21:36:57 GMT 4 km deep
1.5 Utah 22:22:59 GMT 4 km deep
1.3 Utah 20:49:29 GMT 2 km deep
1.2 Utah 19:56:33 GMT 1 km deep

Ones that were there and then removed or switched to one of the above dates/times

1.6 Utah 04:59:55 3 km deep
1.1 western mt 13:42:52 10 km deep
1.6 yellowstone 14:43:24 5 km deep
1.5 Utah 15:43:49 1 km deep
1.2 Utah 18:37:49 1 km deep
1.3 Utah 07:55:44 1 km deep
1.1 Utah 08:54:07 1km deep

I think why I even started to pay attention was because I was driving on highway 395 out of lakeview oregon and when going by lake abert my son asked me if we were at yellowstone. In looking at the lake there was a spout of water off in the distance and other areas of steam looking vents. The smell of sulpher was strong and we even drove through some steam. I used my iPhone to get some pics but its an iPhone so they didn't capture it as well as I would have liked (yet still show something). We knew it was active due to the smell of sulphur and the fact that it was 3:00 pm and not morning fog burn off from air/water interactions. When I got home I had realized a couple of quakes had happened near that area in addition to Idaho and others you listed so assumed a small crack (quake) opened up a vent (its supposedly dormant yet used to be seismically active in this area of oregon/california). When these quakes disappeared from my map and I couldn't find them I began to question it but overall I feel there are some glitches in the system.

USGS stands for Useless System for Guessing Siesmicity

You are better off to use the local state providers.
quake.utah has 16 quakes above 1.0 on that map, but all below 2.0 , last 7 days

Having said that its all best-guess/estimates/interpretation, regardless of who is doing it.
Even JMA have two goes at it (NIED Hi-Net and JMA Unified) and take 3 days to finalize data, and they have the most modern, efficient and comprehensive monitoring system on the Planet.
