Thanks, and wow, that must've been wild to hear that noise!!!

Just added a vid

Good guess - sort of - we would see effects of that - inflation - which though would cause quakes as the earth expands unless it were a vent such as Hawaii where it just flows - maybe under the ocean - idk - but here is what I do know

Here are the links for the closest instruments I could find for "near Shasta" tiny flinch - the north station registars some -

Can I mention here now that I prefer my old fashion seismo's!!! Oh which by the way - didin't show a thing - -

Just east of Mt. Shasta pele.ess.washington.edu:16017...

Station north of Mt. Shasta pele.ess.washington.edu:16017...

Note to self - Never complain about instruments in the park again as they can flick a fly off a buffalo's eyelash with out making him blink on a 1.0 mag quake. -

Well, good now I can't keep that countdown going!! Not reasuring though -

It appears to me that some of us - interested in the same things - sleep the same way - heard said there is no such thing as a coincidence - like minds and all that - but - for me - wish I could sleep all day - dreaded job - ok - so off I go - do i dare say it - pillow - see you all in 4 short hours - try to keep the fort quiet

Night night - we'll keep watch!! Only 6.30pm here (Wed pm)

Three in a row for Puerto Rico - it's doing the Cha Cha Cha.

A 2.5, then 3.0, then 2.9 all in 20 mins.

Make that four in a row for Puerto Rico - another 3.0 just hit.

USGS showing eight in a row now!

I remember some time ago there was discussion on the Yellowstone thread about the 'connection' between Indonesia and Puerto Rico.

This link takes you to one of the posts which, with the one or two following after it, is discussing this.

Another earlier reference here

I notice that there is activity in Indonesia as well so perhaps we should look at this 'connection' again?

Hmmm, very interesting - particularly re microplates - thanks for the links Must read up more on that...

Incidently - another Puerto Rico one just reported... I know we usually stick to reporting quakes of more significant magnitudes but worth reporting Puerto Rico due to the recent rash of them...

For those wanting to watch quakes or learn more about them... check out this huge list of research sites

Happy Seismo-surfing

www.geophys.washington.edu...

And another thread re quake predictions and potential Indonesia/Puerto Rico relationship:-

And here's a nifty site to find the antipodal location for any map point

I WANT TO KNOW AND I WANT TO KNOW NOW - WHERE THEY ARE GETTING THEIR DATA FOR THE AREA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What area are you talking about?

All quiet atm... Is this good or bad?

reply to post by Roald


Good Morning - The quake of the north shore of CA last night - small but large enough that I would have expected it to show on the seismo's close to the coast.
