Quake Watch 2010

reply to post by JustMike

Might not be relevant here, but I think there also was an 5.7 at Uluru, Northern Territory, 28 of May 1989, and another one a year earlier, more precisely in January 22, 1988 at Tennant Creek, also in the Northern Territory. That one was a 6.3 - 6.7.

Edited to be more specific:
M 6.3, Northern Territory, Australia on January 22, 1988 00:35:58 UTC
M 6.7, Northern Territory, Australia on January 22, 1988 12:04:57 UTC
M 6.4, Northern Territory, Australia on January 22, 1988 03:57:25 UTC

Here is some information with regards to the Northern Mariana Islands - posted here because the area is rumbling www.usgs.gov... I tried to figure out how to wrap the url to make it look fancy = so much for that - next time my computer guy comes to the office i'll ask him to show me.

The latest version of QuakeData is now available. A few things have changed/improved. See the list of revisions in the program help.

The data file from Jan 2009 to today midday for the compact version is also available.

You can download these from my website - link is in my signature.

They are of course as always free of charge.

If have suggestions, or things you would like to see please let me know. This has still only been released to ATS members on this thread.

Anmarie96: Look at when you do a reply to. You will see code like this in the box

The brackets will be square. I have used curly ones to stop if from displaying the link instead of the code. Use exactly the same format for your urls so your post above would become:

Annoying "It looks like you're using some kind of software designed to block advertising while surfing our site." popping up here.

Anyway, I wonder if we all missed out a M 6.3 quake inland in Chile Thursday, March 4, 2010 22:39:25 UTC at Antofagasta, Chile

Edited. Got rid of the pop up.

Nope, it was posted. This is the post.

I think we were going on about Taiwan and JdF at the time so it may not have been commented on.

These are all North of previous quakes. Are we seeing the start of a march northwards? Maybe the southerly relief causing stress further north is just beginning to show?

I was just thinking the same thing!

and then as usuall - I started typing this: 11:20 pm est (my time) ssshhhhh - she slumbers - I knock on my 200 year old log cabin walls - they say silence is golden (sshh knock, knock) Always a good time to reflect and think - not to say anything will happen (knock, knock) make sure that emergency supply gear is good to go. Sorry silence always makes me nervous

And I check the map and get this

Thank you for that info -- and especially for jogging my memory! I had forgotten all about those. Darn! Yes, those central Australian quakes were bigger, but in terms of loss of life and property damage the Newcastle quake was the worst ever in Australia's (post-colonization) history.

And even those 3 big ones in the NT in 1988 were not the nation's biggest. The largest on-land quake was probably the mag 7.3 in Meeberrie, Western Australia on April 29, 1941.

Fortunately quakes in Australia that cause deaths are so rare that we don't worry ourselves too much over them. (There have only been 3 quakes that have caused deaths in over 200 years, as far as I know.)

For anyone who wants to look into Australian seismicity a bit more deeply, the University of Western Australia maintains a nice site here. Loads of good data, maps, and so on, and very readable.

reply to post by Anmarie96

Yes, very weird, that. I can't figure why they sent out a "quake deleted" advisory for that one, especially seeing as the quake is still on their maps and data pages, which means they have not actually deleted it. It's still listed on EMSC as well. Possibly someone hit the wrong button. (It happens!) They have deleted quakes in that region before, but usually they've been smaller ones and they've done it quite quickly -- not a couple of days later.

To: U.S. West Coast, Alaska, and British Columbia coastal regions
From: NOAA/NWS/West Coast and Alaska Tsunami Warning Center
Subject: Tsunami Information Statement issued 03/9/2010 at 5:13AM AKST

At 5:07 AM Alaskan Standard Time on March 9, an earthquake with preliminary magnitude 5.7 occurred 60 miles/97 Km southeast of Atka Village, Alaska .

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 WCATWC message issued for this event.

The location and magnitude are based on preliminary information. Further information will be issued by the United States Geological Survey or the appropriate regional seismic network.

reply to post by JustMike


Funny to tease once in a while. I just read your post regarding the quake while I was gathering data regarding quakes in Australia. So I remembered. Anyway, I'm not that active posting lately since I'm more interested in quakes that might lead to more quakes. Hehehe
I have my own opinion about interesting hot-spots.

reply to post by Roald


Not really big ones. There have been 1404 quakes of 1.0+ in the last 365 days of which only 12 have been 5.0+ and none have been 6.0 or greater.

Too quiet, big one coming somewhere.... not a prediction, just a feeling, and based on how quiet things were prior to last couple of good sized quakes. LISS 24 heliplots are quiet, as are Cali's Seismo's, hard to explain, but, wondering what will be today....
