Nice explosion but Dutchsinse AND RSOE in one post?
I think i feel unwell
It's ok, just go ahead and be sick and get his BS out of your system. I swear, I have tried over 5 times to push the reset button on that guy, watch another video of his, and EVERY time he proves himself crazier than me. And that is just not good at all.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, you turned up anything on GPS data for Czech?
he activity started in the evening of 23 August and is almost continuous till now (27 August morning). Almost 10 000 events were recorded in total up to now. Already eight M>3.0 events and hundreds of M>2.0 events occurred.

August 27, 2011 – W. Bohemia, CZ – The Geophysical Institute, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic says it has recorded almost 10,000 earthquakes during the last three days in West Bohemia, a region located close to the Czech Republic’s western border with Germany. The earthquake swarm started late on Tuesday and continued through Friday. While many have gone unnoticed by the local population some of the larger tremors, including eight quakes exceeding 3 magnitude have been felt in the towns of Chemnitz, Karlovy Vary, Birch, and Luby. The most recent earthquake measured 3.6 magnitude on the Richter Scale and hit at 0645hrs GMT on Friday at a shallow depth of three miles. The quake epicentre was located 81 miles (129 km) NE of Nürnberg 82 miles (131 km) SW of Dresden, 90 miles (144 km) W of Praha, 128 miles (204 km) NW of Budejovice, 131 miles (210 km) NNW of Schärding, and 227 miles (364 km) NW of Wien. Commenting on the latest earthquake swarm, the Geophysical Institute, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic stated: “The activity started in the evening of 23 August and is almost continuous till now (26 August morning). Almost 10 000 events were recorded in total up to now. Already eight events M>3.0 and 200 M>2.0 occurred. The location of hypocenters directly below the NKC station, so it appears a new patch of the fault plane is being activated.” In recent years, scientists have noted an increase in the movement of magma towards the earth’s surface in the Cheb Basin, western Czech Republic. They say rising magma could be one of the causes of the earthquake swarms, which regularly occur in the Vogtland, North-West Bohemia, the Fichtelgebirge and the Upper Palatinate. The last earthquake swarm to occur before this week’s activity was in 2008. –IWO
IMPORTANT UPDATE: The Vogtland earthquake swarms happen on a regular basis. They had massive swarms back in 1908 and 1903 there, which caused much damage with multiple quakes of intensity 6 and 7 (MSK-Scale). They have had large swarms in 1901, 1903, 1908, 1929, 1936, 1962 and 1985-86 as well as additional swarms in 2000 and 2008. Generally the really strong earthquake sequences occur once every 75 years with major damage. This swarm seems to have started like one of the smaller ones, however there are no certainties!
Recent information about earthquakes in West Bohemia Earthquake swarm 2011 Last update: 27.8.2011, 12:15 CEST The activity started in the evening of 23 August and is almost continuous till now (27 August morning). Almost 10 000 events were recorded in total up to now. Already eight M>3.0 events and hundreds of M>2.0 events occurred. The location of hypocenters directly below the NKC station, so it appears a new patch of the fault plane is being activated - see the joint plot of all activity in NK area - the recent events are indicated in dark red. Time course of event magnitudes Location of the new swarm upon the main fault plane in Novy Kostel - vertical section Day seismograms from NKC station Earthquake swarm 2008 Last update: 15.12.2009, 15:40 CET Since 6th till 30th October 2008 more than 20 000 (!!) events occurred at the southerm edge of the Nový Kostel area. The hypocenters lie in the depth range 10.5 to 9 km (below the microswarm of February 2007) and have reactivated the southerm patch of the 2000 swarm. Several M>3.5 events have occurred making this swarm the strongest one since the M=4.6 swarm of 1985/86. The swarm is exceptional by the unusually fast release of energy (>10 000 events in 7 days). Due to this evolution the activity is expected to continue in next days/weeks with possible interrupts.

Are you sure? See my post above. Take a close look at the dates. I just tried from Shanes link and got the 16th July.
Something screwy is going on. The mag 7 was Peru not Vanuatu.
