You can check this site macgyver. The different circle colors indicate either today, yesterday, two weeks ago or the past 5 years. It's a little slower at posting the quakes tho.

6.3 being reported near Wells, Nevada.

You can see it on the seismic traces, looks quite interesting, that isn't near the (major) fault lines or volcanoes.

Seismic trace, from Mount Rainier in Washington.

Trace from nearby

Hmm, 842 quakes in the USA in the last week, thats quite high.

6.3 being reported near Wells, Nevada.

We didn't even feel the quake here worldwatcher. We're higher up and on rocky terrain. I Don't know if anyone felt it in the valley yet. I was up at the time and not one picture was lopsided. I heard some did feel it in southern California according to our news. The last quake in this area was only felt in the valley below. Baja, California has been shake, rattle and rolling for a few days now.

this one in Nevada which is being on over two days:
22 nd and 21 st February

and the biggest among these happened yesterday :

MAP 6.0 2008/02/21 14:16:05 41.077 -114.752 9.0 NEVADA

The location is pretty much the same, but over the 2 days there have been 22 earthquakes... that's kind of a lot

but what i find strange is the square square grid over that area.. any ideas ?
goo gle image

27 earthquakes now with the latest:

MAP 2.6 2008/02/22 08:17:25 40.964 -114.937 10.0 NEVADA

Magnitude 6.6 - KEPULAUAN MENTAWAI REGION, INDONESIA

I don't like this at all. Too many quakes near Toba. A 7.5 a few days ago. Now a 7.1 further south.

Click here for updated map...

I'm wondering about the possibility of another major fault line movement like the last one, let alone Toba. Not to mention that there's dozens of other volcanoes along there, and we have no idea what a VEI 8 volcano looks like before it's first VEI 8.
