Yay, another 5 for Anmarie

Hmmm, too much volcano watch, not enough quake watch today.

Just noticed this, in my home state!

Interesting to see California dominating the list - things back to normal!?

So, the South American quakes are moving north? Let's hope the movement are not jumping to far north in "one go". Hope it just move some "few" miles at the time.

Country roads and all that! Actually I have not got a clue where West Virginia is, it might as well be Timbuktu. No on second thoughts I know where that is.

Haiti - not good. This one comes in the exact area that on one of the documentaries a geologist was saying they would expect the next big shift to occur. They said they were not sure if it would go East and then West, or just straight West - which is where this one is.

Edit: Looking at this in GE I see that there have been several on/near that plate boundary in the past 7 days. Bear in mind also that the area I have circled on the picture below is Guantanamo, and there were several good ones there only a short while ago.

Update: The graph below is the cumulative totals for the region from 1st Jan 2020, based on a rectangle 21/-76, 16/-61 (I think that is just about the area shown on the map above)



And this is the magnitudes over the same time. The first big spike is the Haiti earthquake.

Quake Data 3.5.1 Build 40 is now available.

This has UTC date controls so you can access the static Icelandic web cams. There is a slider that allows you to offset the time. You might have to play with it as daylight savings days are different in different regions.

If you double click the label showing UTC 00:00:00 it should tell you what you computer thinks is UTC to aid you in setting the slider.

There is a view only check box as well. You can just view the slides instead of having to save them, but SNAP NOW will save the current pic irrespective of the setting of 'View Only'.

Link in signature as usual, and of course free. Enjoy!

LATER VERSION AVAILABLE 3.5.2

Folks if you were contemplating downloading the latest QuakeData just hold on. Version 3.5.2 coming very shortly with full size image viewing and 0.1 x to 3x Zoom.

In addition to view only mode you can set it to View Only but save every nth snap (a number between 2 and 50) so for example at 6 secs refresh setting the snap for every 10 would give you 1 saved image a minute with 6 seconds refresh.

VERSION 3.5.2 Build 41 NOW AVAILABLE

You can zoom to 100% and zoom to Fit as well as the above, and I have applied all the zoom facilities to the viewer for the webicorder plots as well.
