You have exceeded the maximum window of 4 hours allowed to edit your post

.
It was only 3 hours ago

Anyway I just wanted to say that I used miles on the above post because thats what EMSC had on their interactive map.
Most unusual being European I thought.

That's because, even though USGS is saying 'south of wherever, TX' but they are really originating from Chihuahua, Mexico. I've noticed several pop up on my Quake app, the largest being a 4.0

Just looking on USGS list and noticed that as I scrolled down there has only been one quake since 2nd May 2011 that has been over 6.0
There are lots of Mid 4's and 5's and the 6.1 was a Japanese aftershock.

Is this normal ?
Has the planet calmed down and taking a breather ?

Things seem to be getting a bit squiely in the Cal/Nev area. I'm sure berkelygal, your watiching this?
We haven't heard from Weatcoast either. Is their a new thread that you guys are posting on, or do you guys think this is no big deal?

Geez, I thought They only did that in Yellowstone. - Something must be up - maybe They Blew up Something.

Downgraded the Alaska quakes, is why they are not on your 5.0 and above list.

earthquake.usgs.gov...

The Alaska quakes on incidentmaps are showing up now as 5.0, 4.8 and 4.9. Looks like the official mag is 4.9.
Still there has been a few decent ones in the last 2 hours.

reply to post by berkeleygal


Yeah- downgrade to one 4.9 - lol - still rollling around though.

reply to post by muzzy


Yea, and actually you only get 2 hours!! I have moaned about that and about the problem when you edit a post at the bottom of a page but nothing ever gets done. Too busy working out how they can charge for the service to pay for a reporter!

Has the planet calmed down and taking a breather ?

I think so (as I said in this post) but I don't suppose anyone else agrees with me!

5.9 EQ off the coast of Japan.
