Something not right there I think. The data is incomplete on USGS, but GFZ is also still after this time Automatic and EMSC is not yet reviewed. USGS says it is manual (i.e. not automatic) but does not say it is reviewed.

We shall have to wait to see until staff get back in on Monday and relieve the students.

But look at the scale - only 7,700 counts. I don't think this is a mag 6 but I have not checked to see how far the station is from the quake yet.

Only just over 1 x 10-5 m/s = 1+ mm (if the maths is working at this time of night)

Did a 13 day download off QVS Datapro the other night in antisipation of having some free time early morning to update my NZEQ Blog since July 1st, but the hotle wi-fi is working at Dial-up speed for the last few days, hopeless.
So its air-condioning versus hispeed wifi

Aftershocks? They seem placed all over that area now. Lots of them.


Glacier related maybe?

Yikes! Yakutat Terrain Earthquake isn’t this Alaska’s “Squeezebox”
The Big One started on this area per this video.

That was excellent information!

If I could star you twice for that I would!

a reply to: SeekingDepth
That video is exceptional info. Truly something to watch for in the coming days/weeks/months. Not sure of the time span between the quake of today and the mega quakes of the past. I think Fairbanks and Juneau are both places to watch.

Here is another article about the location of the quake today near Mount Logan.

Awesome post...!

That area could effect Cascadia, indirectly!

Doom on!

a reply to: SeekingDepth

Thanks. The first item is particularly revealing, especially the upping of the potential threat for Cascadia to Mag 9.3, something that does not surprise those of us who study these things.

Some of the raises are I think 'precautionary' and maybe designed to wake up the nuclear industry - in particular the New Madrid areas as there are conflicting views on potential for seismicity here.

Heading through the Canadian Rockies now, from what I have seen already around the Banff area, I just cannot imagine the forces that caused all the sedimentary rock to thrust up at a 45 degree angle like it has. A M9 would be a raindrop in the Pacific Ocean in comparison to what created these mountains. South of the border they go volcanic.

I just looked at the USGS map, what is happening arround Puerto Rico and British Virgin Islands?
A lot of 2s and 3s swarming there.
Can somebody have an eye on that?

By comparison to the rest of the months since Feb? No not really! And they are all very close to M6.0 where as the earlier ones were M6.6 upwards - many times the energy released.

Perhaps I should take that statement back!!
