THX THX.

Hmmmm . . . Welll, if you must be a Master Quake Jockey in all that rockin' and rollin' down under,

PLEASE ride on the tops of them and NOT UNDER them!

SUBJECTIVELY . . . has it seemed like things have picked up a tick or 3 in your region?

OOOOP
Miss it by that much

By it was inside the link

reply to post by BO XIAN

Seemed like it was, but it has died away again.
I'm not sure about April, we have had radiated energy release figures below 7 now three four times and no M5+. graph here
Either Muzzy's Rule has passed its use-by-date, or the 5+ when it comes is going to be a doozey.
I'm still picking Fiordland or further South, keeping an eye on LDEO for Pacific-Antarctic movement, that is usually an early indicator, but not always. That Bouvet Island Region 6.5 is on the edge of the Antarctic Plate, but its on the other size from us.



Siesmic Hot spots move around over time, seems the central area of NZ has taken the heat for a while since Canterbury in Dec 2011, with 4 mag 6's since in the Lower North island


Even the Kermadec Islands are quiet, too quiet for my liking.....

reply to post by Trillium

yeah I kow it was, thats why I mentioned it, but you didn't put the magnitude in your post.
Maybe I should have just said "you didn't put the magnitude in your post" ......

Just checking this thread real quick to see if you guys noticed that one.

Possible foreshock? Or just a standard AK quake?

reply to post by GoShredAK


For a second I thought I was having a dizzy spell!

I think it's just a routine quake.

The placement of these on the map and their depths are interesting:



What do our knowledgeable members think of it? Just normal random placements, or something to keep an eye on?

reply to post by Nyiah


Same struck me earlier today, but I think it is just normal quakes.
You have a lot of those in this region, they just seem to line up by accident

reply to post by GoShredAK


I guess we will find out soon enough huh!

That's bigger than the usual in that area.
Not unusual though,
just bigger than lately.

GFZ Potsdam now in but nothing from USGS yet????

a reply to: muzzy

Don't like it either. Why can't they leave things alone. Note it has ruined the signature layouts as well.

NVM--I see Puters is on it!


ETA:
GFZ Potsdam has an automatic of Mag 7.1.
USGS has a manual of Mag 7.5 Mi. (not familiar with Mi?)
