Yellowstone has been interesting to watch. They've add a few of those missing quakes.
www.quake.utah.edu...

After midnight, I will miss watching Yellowstone. I'll be long gone on a 2000km trip on rail in the middle of nowhere. So, I'll be disconnected. I hope somone keeps track of the big boy, cause you never know.

Keep watching.

Hmmmm......you're going 2000 km away into the boondocks, & someone should keep an eye on YS.
Coming from anyone else I'd be worried that was very vaguely veiled 'bug out' code! Ha, ha!

I have the Yellowstone seismo link on my favorites bar, but can't pull it up, something is wrong with it.
I'll find another link & promise to check it everyday.

Hope this is a pleasure trip.You deserve a break! If you are going to be in the boonies, I hope you can immerse yourself in nature, enjoy being away & return home rejuvenated! I'm really jealous. Wish I could do that! How often I've wished I had been born in a simpler time! Just being able to get out into the woods for a few hours, away from everything, gives me a whole new perspective.

Awhile back I posted a want ad for a cave. Don't know if you happened to see it, how about keeping an eye open in case you run across one!
Don't worry about anything while you are away, we'll hold down the fort! Not as well as you do, but we'll do our best!
Take care.

not that big but it left a pretty big trace on SNZO considering it was 3000 km away



Also something a bit closer
was 17.66km south-east of me, on the Paekakariki Hill Rd, but I didn't feel it

and something a bit unusual yesterday, east of Wellington, between the Chatham Is and th North Is.
you do get the odd one on the Chatham Rise but not usually so far north out on the flat Pacific Plate.

87 km (54 miles) SSW (197°) from Lae, New Guinea, PNG
123 km (76 miles) ENE (64°) from Kerema, New Guinea, PNG
214 km (133 miles) NW (310°) from Popondetta, New Guinea, PNG
224 km (139 miles) NNW (348°) from PORT MORESBY, Papua New Guinea

Wonder if those quakes are going to trigger Koranga Vulcano. It's only around 23 kilometers away from the epicenter.

edit on 13-12-2011 by MoorfNZ because: (no reason given)

seems like something is about to crack.. its that time of the year when things start really shaking.. remember Indonesia ?

EMSC revised from 6.8 to 7.3

reply to post by kassych


Japan wasn't at this time of year, neither was Canterbury 7.1... and there's no correlation with end of the year where the largest quakes are concerned either. earthquake.usgs.gov...

Historic Seismicity - PNG

Seems a first? Or one of the only.

???? What do you think all those dots are?! It's a highly seismic area,,...

The star represents today's event..

REVISED to 7.1

I think that 7.1 will drop down below 7.0 eventually.
If you look at the closest LISS station PMG graph the trace is not that big really
and the USGS phase data has a hang of a lot of magnitude 6 readings on it.
note mb = 6.6 (256) ML = 6.7 ( 4)
also note in the details "M-type="moment" magnitude from initial P wave (tsuboi method) (Mi/Mwp), Version=9"
from memory the tsuboi method usually get replaced with something more reliable later

How about 6.9Mw




or maybe not
just checked with the russians they have 7.1mb which theoretically should translate to about 7.4 Ms

I was reading it as in... the red dots, can't see any on land or are they just covered by the sheer mass of general activity?

Edit: Nevermind I'm an idiot. Haven't delved into the historic visuals before really.
