Whoa- Two of the largest seismology networks in the world are down (UPDATE: They're back)

The US and IU networks have stopped reporting completely in GEE. This is not good, as these networks cover a staggering number of stations.

There have been reports of some strange activity on the sun today, and I wonder if that could have any affect.

There are other networks that have stopped responding as well. The IW network and CU network are screwed at the moment too.

But there are many other networks still reporting, like the Alaska networks, the Japan networks, and more.

So I'm not sure what to make of this yet, but it is not good and leaving many people blind as to earthquakes right now.

Very interesting. I will definitely be monitoring this.

Good day TrueAmerican,

Just curious where you heard this from?

There have been reports of some strange activity on the sun today

According to space weather and the NOAA scale activity, nothing strange going on at all, not even any sunspots on the earth facing side of the Sun.

Anyways, interesting find, I wonder what's causing the outages

Cheers

I noticed this last night and was gonna post it
in the earthquake thread but decided to wait
to see if it was a glitch or not.

Last night, USGS went down for 3 and a half hours
with no reporting then it came back on.

Kinda relevant to the point that with no
seismology readings, HAARP can target
locations without ANYBODY knowing
other than radio wave emissions and
those are generalized.

So if u wanted to hide ur tracks with HAARP,
this is the way to do it cuz they knew we monitor
those readings on a daily basis round here.

Thanks for the thread
S&F

maybe it was a software upgrade or something like that. Or maybe someone spilled coffee on something with flashing lights.

edit, one interesting thing I just noticed, is that the 6.2 in Samoa has gone from e-quake, and now it's a 5.9 in Tonga. I wonder if it's related to this.

I don't really know much about the system, but does this kind of thing happen often, or like never?

If this is something that has never happend before or is extremely rare, I think I might take notice. Anyway weird that so many different stations are down at the same time.

I don't know if there is anything unusual there, but it may be unrelated anyway to these network outages I am talking about. It just seems weird that both the US and IU networks would go at the same time, along with the others I mentioned. We'll see if they come back up in the next few hours, as BS pointed out.

But still, it sucks- I can't see!!

the system is designed with redundancy in mind
to prevent gaps from occurring.

2 whole systems going completely down at the same time
is basically an equivalent to a single person
winning the mega jackpot lottery 10 times
in a row. My opinion of course

UPDATE:

OK, stuff is starting to trickle back in on these networks... I think they are working again for the moment.

someone is manipulating USGS data

before my last refresh there was a 6.2 in Samoa
earthquake shown.

After my last refresh, it has disappeared
entirely.

WTF????

Someone is doing this intentionally
to hide earthquakes.

From Yahoo News: USGS reporting a 6.2 earthquake off of Samoa.

Samoan Earthquake

That is super serious. Surely if earthquakes happen, news of them will get out, unless TPTB want something like an earthquake-triggered tsumani to happen with no warning, so the threatened population would not be able to evacuate. What is La Palma let loose? Every city from Portland (Maine) to Rio De Janeiro would be destroyed, and all the people along with them. That would certainly fit in with the NWO's depopulation plans.

The EMSC is still updating properly by the looks of things - they must be independent and not reliant on filter through from USGS ?

Nah, I think they just changed the 6.2 to a 5.9 in Tonga, which is close. It happens. They review the data, and revise as reports come in from more stations, allowing them to better locate the epicenter.

hey bro, when has USGS EVER been off by over 500 miles???

The flight distance from Samoa to Tonga is:
557 miles / 896 km

Something is very wrong here ...
these are 2 different earthquakes !!!
with only 1 showing and 1 erased.

I got a message from the IT department of the university where I work that said:

"The anti-virus software, McAfee, installed on University computers released an update on Wednesday, April 21, 2010 that is corrupted. This is impacting not only computers at XXX, but many computers worldwide that have McAfee installed on them. Please be aware that this issue may impact systems you use outside of the university setting as well as systems you use on the XXX campus."

My Verizon email has been down too. When I called tech support they had a recorded messages that it was down system wide.

I wonder if the EQ networks and Verizon were affected by the corrupted anti-virus update?

well that scenario might work for today's
blunder but it wouldn't account for
last night's blunder. That was before the update
went out. In my opinion, I don't think it's
related. But I may be wrong.

Well, you've got a point. That does seem like too much. I first picked up the 6.2 at station DAV in the Philipines. There was a quake, that's for sure. It showed up at Fiji and many other stations as well. I saw it. So the answer is I don't know. I do know though that the USGS does screw up, but it is very rare.

no offense bro
but sounds more like sabotage to me

if we could get a confirmation from
somebody in Samoa that they felt it
there then we def have a case of
intentional sabotage of data.

Anybody from Samoa ???

reply to post by boondock-saint


Well, I don't see any news of a 6.2 here at this Samoa news site:

www.samoanews.com...

Not that that's the end of discussion mind you, but it does support a 5.9 in Tonga instead.
