Quake Watch 2010

And they still are not showing in USGS as far as I can see.

The plot from Samoa does not show either of these quakes. AFI.IU.00.BHZ.2010.094

There would appear to be something on the plot from Fiji (MSVF.II.00.BHZ.2010.094) at the right time (?) at least for one of the two, but someone who knows more about travel times would need to determine if 2 minutes or so is correct from Tonga to Fiji.

These are the only two IRIS recorders I can find close to the alleged epicentre. Each of these is roughly 500 miles thus I would have expected to see some sign on both recorders, but it only appears on Fiji - if indeed that is the event that is showing.

This is right next door to the 2.4 yesterday.

This might not be a good sign.

Ok, I`m starting to feel awkward. If I`m doing something wrong, somebody tell me! I hope it`s not the website

I have been playing with Quake Data - various things - but one is a new view in Google Earth. Currently it goes to GE and displays the quake location at 2000km above the land - vertically.

I have been playing with tilted views and the one below is 7 km (approx) at a 70 deg tilt. You like?

Sorry it is a bit small so you can see it all.

If you think less/more angle, higher/lower then let me know (u2u?)

You need to have Terrain on, Exaggeration=1.0 and quality reasonably high (I have set at 60%)

If you want to see that in GE for yourself the KML file can be downloaded here. Just put it somewhere and double-click it. Of course you need GE !!

This is for this quake.

Here is what the default looks like currently for the same quake.

No problem there Sandri, I think it is just that the USGS reports that as the Molucca Sea and does not mention Indonesia.

It is in the USGS database though so no, you are not doing anything wrong.

[edit on 4/4/2010 by Roald]

I'm a bit motion sick myself, now that the adrenaline has died down. I'm somewhat shocked my stacks of books and dvds didn't topple.

lol, yeah dudes, I've got a car sickness feeling headache right now, but i had to pick up my monitor, it was shaking pretty bad as its base isnt too stable.

Yes, you did.

So, are we in for a ride North?

Sure, this might have an effect on Yellowstone?

I dunno but northern California supposedly just got hit by a couple 4.0....
