That's the New Madrid zone, southern end. We've been fairly quiet for a good while now. We like it that way.

ETA: Thanks to all of you for keeping this info current. I really appreciate the hard work and your insights.

rather than "upgrade" it they have actually converted it to a different magnitude type
it was Mi @ 6.8
Now its Mww @ 7.1
earthquake.usgs.gov...-solutions

FWIW the Me (broadband) was 6.86 and Me (high frequency) was 6.46

I checked back and Scotland has never had an earthquake this size? Pretty deep too.

That is xxxxxxg weird since the last 30 hours my wifi connection has been more than crap i was just thinking that the last time i saw this was when there is a big quake then you post this about where i live good find

a reply to: douglas5
The only thing I could find is this:
28 November 1880 Argyll, Scotland~5.2 Largest recorded earthquake in Scotland.
So I guess that makes today's quake the Largest recorded at 5.5, unless it is downgraded.
and
this:

A Scottish town was today shaken by an earthquake measuring 2.9 on the Richter scale.
The tremor in Dumfries, Dumfries and Galloway, lasted a few seconds and no one was injured.
Bennett Simpson, seismologist at the British Geological Survey in Edinburgh, said the that the quake occurred at 9.27am.

Here is a link for you, they have not updated with today's quake though

a reply to: whatnext21

I noticed this once before when a lot of earth quakes were going on that my wifi was bad but in the last 30 hours it is real real bad cutting out every 30 seconds sometimes .

i piggy back of a wifi signal from a friend and have never seen it this bad before , i was just thinking about it when i read your post and looking at how many were going on around the world

And it still hasn't
must be a mistake if BGS hasn't listed it after 4 hours! even less likely if GFZ hasn't seen it

I'm surprised EMSC has even put it on, only one source, Laboratoire de Détection et de Géophysique -- Bruyères-le-Châtel, France (LDG)
2014-10-09 19:15:39.3 55.29 N 3.96 W 2 mb 5.5 A: SCOTLAND, UNITED KINGDOM LDG

here is the original page on LDG
www-dase.cea.fr...

not far from my home town of Ayr
do you want me to phone the relatives there and see if they felt it?

I just compared the EMSC location and the LDG map, they don't match

as they say in Scotland its "cookup"

even more less convincing ...... if it was a 5.5 even Puterman over in Ireland would have felt it and been on here in a flash. Unless he is over in England at the moment.

a reply to: whatnext21

How come this isn't in Europe-Mediterranean Seismic Center (emsc-csem.org)?

And not in USGS either?

And I don't find any news about it either, must have been malfunction. I don't think such deep earthquakes are even possible
in Scotland, 120 km depth.

And I found this:

Data buoya reply to: Darkblade71

Just saw that.

I thought New Zealand would have popped first.

Gonna check data buoy.

Data buoy

Nothing at this time

On a whim I downloaded the "Quake Feed" app about a year ago -- and was immediately surprised and fascinated by the sheer number of recordable quakes occurring daily!

a reply to: Darkblade71

I wonder if USelessGS realize that the link "view location in Google Maps" doesn't actually show the epicenter, although it does settle over the spot.
Geez I hate all these "new" versions of stuff, new Google Maps is a total disaster, full of junk most people don't want to use.
I still use the classic GMaps when I have a choice, but when you click a link usually it goes to to the crap version.
USGS the same, I hardly ever go there now.

That Southern East Pacific Rise quake was a long time coming, big gap between M7+'s
But in the last 14 years its not the longest gap.

Something to ponder while we wait for the next Major quake
in that period 2000-2014 (not counting this last gap), when there was a gap of 60 days or more, 4 out of 5 cases resulted in the next M7+ either being a M8+ or there was a M8+ within 20-30 days of the end of that gap.

17/11/2013 Scotia Sea 7.8
1/04/2014 Chile 8.2
-135 days gap

23/06/2014 Rat Is 7.9
9/10/2014 SEPacRise 7.1
-108 days gap
?????

1/04/2007 Solomons 8.1
16/07/2007 Honshu7.2
-106 days gap
15/08/2007 Peru 8.0
-30 days later

24/02/2001 Moluuca 7.1
3/06/2001 Kermadecs 7.3
-99 days gap
23/06/2001 Peru 8.4
-20 days later

20/08/2006 Scotia Sea 7.1
15/11/2006 Kuril 8.3
-87 days gap

12/04/2012 Baja 7.1
3/07/2012 NZ 7.1
-82 days gap
12/08/2012 Okhotsk 7.7
-40 days later

based on eyeballing the graphs here
just playing with time and numbers, doubt it would stand up over a longer time period, say 100 years

the older bar graphs aren't much help it this as they don't show the size, just that one happened, thats why I changed the style later
monster gap 1922, 7 months, will look into that

yeah, huge gap, but 71 days after the gap before the next M8+
31/01/1922 o/s Humbolt County, California, USA 7.6
1/09/1922 o/s Yilan, Taiwan 7.6
-213 days gap
11/11/1922 Chile 8.3
71 days after

as you were
thought I spotted a trend is all.
and not very scientific, as the gap is measured by subtracting one date from another, with no allowance for the number of days/month in it

a reply to: muzzy

if it was a 5.5 even Puterman over in Ireland would have felt it and been on here in a flash. Unless he is over in England at the moment.

I felt nothing, I see nothing on BGS, it did not happen!

a reply to: Thebel

And I found this:

You should have ignored it!!! The author is not exactly known for his abilities in the area of earthquakes, or much else for that matter other than of course scaremongering at which he is an expert.
