Same location?
Same depth?
Same distance?


Did you notice the last three quakes close to the St. Helens Volcano?
The Depth is about 0,6 km to 0 km. ?

Ptolomeo, I believe this is the same one you posted earlier, they slipped the 3.2 in before this one just a little while ago. Don't really know whats going on with the USGS.

Valkeryie -


Well, I am not so sure, Valkeryie, I still find both on the list as 2 different quakes, though they are very close one to the other:

MAP 3.3 2006/06/19 09:26:00 46.200 -122.192 0.0

Take a look: updates

What do you think?

BTW, I am sure you have noticed that seismic activity around Italy has increased...

I just hope nothing happens...

Do you think there will be a Tsunami warning?

downgraded to 5.5

NOAA Tsunami warning for the 5.6 quake

The magnitude is such that a tsunami IS NOT EXPECTED. However, in coastal areas of intense shaking, locally generated tsunamis can be triggered by underwater landslides. This will be the only WC/ATWC message issued for this event.

Wow, isn't that on the same line as Eqcuador and Nias region today?

Look at the coordinates

Ecuador 1.891°S, 77.261°W Nicobar 6.988°N, 92.451°E Nias region 1.451°N, 97.038°E

Are they connected? They seems all quite big?

Added another coordinate

Is it only me that finds this strange? Maybe there occur another one on that same line and even bigger. Were should it strike than?

I just wanted to share this image. Please, take a look. Thank you.

What do you all make of this story (linked by drudge).

LONDON (Reuters) - The southern end of the San Andreas fault near Los Angeles, which has been still for more than two centuries, is under immense stress and could produce a massive earthquake at any moment, a scientist said on Wednesday.

Yuri Fialko, of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at La Jolla, California, said that given average annual movement rates in other areas of the fault, there could be enough pent-up energy in the southern end to trigger a cataclysmic jolt of up to 10 meters (32 ft).

"The observed strain rates confirm that the southern section of the San Andreas fault may be approaching the end of the interseismic phase of the earthquake cycle," he wrote in the science journal Nature.

Well, it definitely will happen one day. Don't know when though.
The USGS just issue some very cool interactive stuff for the San Francisco area.
