Oh and the 2 quakes you were questioning were inputted into this international database by ... the USGS.

no its just that USGS only reports two 7+ quakes and so do all the news agencies. two of the 7+ quakes on RSOE don't seem to have been properly registered (incomplete date and time - makes me think its an incorrect entry on their side), and the other two that are properly registered match up with the ones reported by USGS.

Well it's really not worth arguing about but they do have specific time stamps, lat and longitude, and specific cities listed in the details section. It's just the 00.00.0000 (date) that's throwing you off I think.

I'm sorry if I sounded a little testy earlier... You'd think that database was my baby or something! But seriously I think we should use all the data available to us. I'm wondering now if the USGS doesn't have equipment in the areas those other EQs were or something???

hehe no problem, although i have to say i'm still not convinced. it would be great if there were other sources backing up what RSOE says. i think i trust USGS more... who knows though!

another good site to look at is the EMSC (European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre) - www.emsc-csem.org.... this also only shows two 7+ quakes. what is great about this site is that you can search through past quakes. according to the EMSC there have only been four 7+ quakes in Indonesia this entire year, so for two to occur in one day is certainly quite something!

I wish I could do that, but Gee is a software program free to download. And I haven't figured out how to even show you a screenshot. GEE is a great program designed for those students studying earthquakes. You can access any station all around the world with live seisomograph feeds.

Google GEE download and you will find a link to access the program.

Thanks, will do that. Another 5.4 just hit the same area, no doubt an aftershock.
