So much stuff to watch, it's great. And good job Puterman, very accurate indeed.

USGS

Can anyone tell me why USGS just removed the Utah Quake?

reply to post by PatriotsPride


I see it was downgraded to a 4.8. I think it was the same quake.

Anyone verify?

The 4.8 was Wyoming,it looked to me as 2 seperate events..

That is too weird. I linked the Utah info above and now it is gone from USGS and the Wyoming quake appeared.

wth is going on?

reply to post by CUin2013?


Both quakes were on there at one time,then,they removed the Utah quake,that doesnt make any sence..Glad someone else seen this...

The instrumentation in the Tetons really doesn't seem to be the greatest, it could be the Utah quake was just a misidentification of the one in the Tetons. Anyway, it's not all that far from Yellowstone!

The Tetons have been a missing link in a trail of quakes leading out from Yellowstone in almost a spiral pattern. We're finally seeing one there, maybe there was a lot of pent up energy to release since there weren't any small ones.

Also: it's definitely just one quake. You can check it on Utah and Teton webicorders and you only see one. They are close enough together that you'd clearly see two if there were truly two.

Teton webi's:

I think it was located closely to the FLWY station on the Teton map.

Thanks for the info Quakewatcher!!

Ok, so they seal the oil leak, we have a high but not unusual CME event, and now within a day we have several 6.0's or above, and a quake in Vegas, as well as "near" Yellowstone.... not trying to draw conclusions, but WOW!! Awful interesting for sure, and no doubt totally unrelated... Right??

[edit on 4-8-2010 by freetree64]

I've always believed all quakes are related - actions lead to reactions etc.

The recent activity is, imho, is unusual as I don't recall seeing so many large events (6.0+) occurring so close together and with such frequency.

And then there's the depths of Moro Gulf quakes..

Something's afoot - I don't think we've seen THE event yet...

I don't think we can relate it to the oil leak, though.... I would have thought we'd see more events nearer the Gulf of Mexico if that were the case...

I hear ya, and I too, am waiting for the culmination, so to speak... we will wait and see....

for those interested, eyjafjallajokull just erupted once again

I realise this isn't volcano watch, but im sure ya'll interested.

go look at Hvolsvelli fast, it must have happened in the last hour

I've been watching Lady Eyja daily and today's steam plume looks much the same as the last few weeks - sometimes she steams very prolifically and sometimes it's just a trickle.. all looks ok to me... perhaps I missed a burp?

Hey you know better than me, Ive been in turkey for the past two week's, haven't checked the cameras, I guess this is normal then.

I see a bunch of aftershocks on the webicorders that aren't recorded yet, for that 4.8 in Wyoming.

Willing to believe *some* of it is noise, but hard to believe there weren't large enough quakes at 1:21 UTC and 2:00 UTC for them to show up on the map.

I think perhaps I has better not make any more predictions!

Mm, only 1 out and that one came just after the 24 hrs

So for today we should have.........................no, no, no!! Stop it!

You have to believe me it is NOT possible to predict earthquakes accurately!
