Breaking : 7.0 just hit Myanmar!

Heads up people, they just tweaked the facts again. What's up ? Why did the simply erase an earthquake event ? They now only show one earthquake. Hmm..... Somethings up.

The link provided above says the depth was 10km (6.2 miles)

please correct me if I'm wrong.

Ummm... is it usual for a report to 404?

I now get

Oops! — File Not Found (404)

on the page linked in the OP ?



never mind - perhaps they were updating just as I refreshed...

- they now show

Am I missing something? These two sites are only showing 1 7.0 quake.

My thoughts as well. The sun is waking up and sending us a little taste of things to come.The same sunspot that caused the x-flare just before Japan quaked is coming around again to face earth, it has been re-numbered 1176. There is also a chance of M-class flares coming our way.

They covered up the deep quake. Seems it wasn't important that the people of the world should know. There have been some worldwide tremors as of late. I forget who posted it, but that can be found on the page showing earthquake observation in every nation and region. A quake so deep means the crust is reacting to pressure. A shallow quake is not much worry. So they posted the shallow one.

I just did a Google Earth on the epicenter coordinates and it doesn't seem to be in a very populated area. That's encouraging, but to early to tell yet I suppose.

They had two 7.0 EQ's listed on USGS for about 2 minutes. I saw it before they put the second one up. They had the first one listed that had the deeper depth. Then they added the shallow one. Then I refreshed and the deeper one was gone. So YES there were two listed, but one was erased. It wouldn't surprised me if it showed up again later. But they had the same magnitude at the exact location just 2 different depths.

Yeah, I'm getting the same thing, I tried finding the second quake but couldn't.

Don't be suprised at this. A lot of things are being covered up these days, and remember USGS is another government site and a few people have been saying that quakes have been disappearing from this site.Perhaps someone from the area of the quake will give us a more accurate account as to what is really happening.

The same thing happened in the minutes after the Japan earthquake. This happens because two reports are generated at the same time - one by the computer and, in this case, another by a seismologist inputting preliminary data. They are/were registering the same earthquake.

On this page, they are still saying two quakes:

YANGON, Myanmar – Two strong earthquakes struck northeastern Myanmar less than a minute apart Thursday night. They could be felt as far away as Bangkok, but a tsunami was not generated.

LOL!!! USGS just downgraded it to a 6.8???? What the heck is going on? Are they going to tell us that there was no quake by the end of the day?

Well, it is interesting how things changed on this quake...

First
7.0 - 142 miles deep

First Update
7.0 - 6 miles deep (modified)

Current Update
6.8 - 6 miles deep (modified again)

Not sure why the numbers would change so much. Not an expert on this.

It means that it has just been reviewed by a seismologist thats all.

Yep - things are being covered up big time.

Yep - we're in a solar maximum and we're rockin'.

....the official story will be that initial reports are seldom correct.

I was curious to the disappearing second quake so I tried to look on this site:

quakes.globalincidentmap.com...

It only shows one quake as well.

Here is what went missing:

Sorry about the lack of a scroll bar.

RSOE is reporting one quake at 7.0, but don't they get thier info from USGS?

We need to hear from someone who actually lives in the area to tell us what really happened.
