I was wondering if someone here can help me find out if there was any tremors going on in East Central MS (USA) on 5/18/12 around 2:30 a.m.?

Someone heard something like a gun battle going on for a long period of time, but can't find a reasonable explanation as to what it was. No reports of such a thing to police. 911 got many calls, but couldn't say what was happening, etc. He also said there was a lot of static in the air because the hair on his arms stood up when he went outside to see what was going on.

I have no idea how to look at earthquake maps. I thought maybe it could be the earth popping making the noise.
His investigation into what it was is ongoing, but so far, it remains a mystery.

Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

not according to this... last one was in 08.

earthquake.usgs.gov...

hope that helps.

because the centre is viscose,,ok i forgot im a dummy,,
no not hollow,,viscouse,,not solid,,gooey ,,
ok that would work,,

ya its related.

live coverage here in australia via sky news. no damage and no injuries reported. 41 earthquakes above 5 since the initial quake. mainly just talking about how people are just sick of it now. people have had enough.

Here's an EQ map of the SE USA, and going back to Nov 2011 no EQ in MS.
CERI map out of Memphis

But....what you described fits perfectly with what someone else described in this ATS post at the same time frame(5/18) and same area - East Central MS no less.....ya'll neighbors? Hope this helps.

edit on 24-5-2012 by SCGrits because: clarification

No, just trying trying to help him solve the mystery! I'm a good person that way... Thanks for your help!

Boy it is sure quite out there..... no 7.0s in a long time.... Don't they know this is 2012...

And now it's four....5.0 10km deep... same area.Norwegian Sea....starting to look like Japan all piled up on one another.

I don't know what's bugging me about this Norway quake. I know it's not the usual place so that's why I am surprised it's showing up so strong in North America. I would say it's larger than 6.2M. But, this may be becuase of it's location.

LDEO have 6.6Mw for the surface wave tensor.

What is not normal? Maybe that it is a bit larger than the usual?

USGS Circular Search: 50km radius

And that is on a small radius. Basically this is on the big crack that runs up past Ireland, through Iceland and on up past Jan Mayen, past the North Pole and then on down through Russia to Japan. Movement on the plate boundary is quite normal.

It's normal. I said in an earlier post I was confused because I forgot that the epicenter is on the North American plate. I was just surprised it showed up so prominately on N.A. siesmos. It even showed up on Popo in Mexico. And I hadn't seen too many distant quakes show up there. On Yellowstone's webicorders it almost looked like a local quake if you weren't looking closely.

Oh, and you were have right about me ignoring earthquakes in the east of Wyoming. I don't compute them. But I do not ignore them. In fact, they make me crazy. I see them and I feel like I have termites in my house. All that gnawing and chewing all the time. So what right. So what they are mining and blasting like crazy in Eastern Wyoming. There's not many people living there, so there aren't too many complaints right? And now there fracking in Eastern Wyoming. Maybe a little geo-thermal plant here and there in Idaho. shhh.

So, to stay sane I am in a forced sense of denial when it comes to Eastern Wyoming. Because Eastern Wyoming is an isolated case. It's not like Eastern Wyoming is hooked up or connected to anything else. Like Western Wyoming or something. There's nothing in Western Wyoming we need to worry about. Right?

'cept Yogi bear stealing your pininic basket..."

We need not worry about the south western corner of Wyoming either. Cause it doesn't exist. I refuse to accept the existence of a place that looks like some apocolyptic landscape south of the first national park. It doesn't exist.

Neither does fracking sand. In Minnesota, they are mining fracking sand. It spilled into a river. I closed my eyes. and filed it away under the title, please forget. forced denial, then create a deluded state, so you can prevent a cerebral aneurysm.

If i didn't keeping forget they spilled oil in the Yellowstone River, I would never be okay....


Here's popo's siesmo



And thank you Puterman for the thumbnail toenail

Pegusus Bay, NZ 5.5 yesterday

Geonet (Rapid) had 15 goes at this one before listing something competely different in the NZMagma database ~ 5.49

ID, TIME, LAT, LONG, DEPTH, MAG, STATUS
2012p392201 2012-05-25 02:44:49.523, -43.52, 172.89, 12, 5.2 (reviewed, 8:46 minutes after) (link)
3711648, 2012-05-25 02:44:50, -43.47284, 172.810151, 5.49 (preliminary, 14hrs later)

Moved 8.34km NW too

Geofon was the closest at 5.4

Rapid has a long long way to go yet, I reckon quite a few locals could have pinned a 5.4/5.5 on that one within seconds, based on experience.
As a taxpayer I think its a dud, let it go, spend the money somewhere else in GNS, what use is it if it is never right?

A special 'treat' for the aficionados of lunar efficaciousness! A chart of all mag 6+ earthquakes for 2012 so far with days after Lunar Perigee, Lunar Apogee, New Moon and Full Moon. I chopped the rst of the year off for the time being, but I shall be adding to this as we go along. The full year is about 9000 pixels wide but it has to be this big or everything gets lost.



ETA

More on the subject of Moon, Sun and Ionosphere. I have uploaded most of my Ionospheric TEC map images to YouTube as they are taking up a huge amount of space (There are or were over 16,000 of them) and no one else can look at them or give an opinion if they are stuck on my PC.

The first one is the end of March this year, and there is one for each week through to the end of the third week of May. The 4th week will be uploaded after the 31st.



Here is the last week as this may be showing some residuals around the Bahamas area.



Enjoy!! (And let me know if you spot anything because basically I don't think it shows any impending earthquakes)

I'm having a bit of a re organisation at Muzzyblogland.
Started NZ mag 5+ this year on Wordpress and have only had 60 hits. The BlogSpot one I have that ran 1930-2011 data has had 17,571 page views, so I think its obvious what to do.
I've shifted the NZ 6+ map and graphs and 2012 over back to Blogspot.

Meanwhile the Wordpress one is being converted to hold the various World regional maps I have scattered about, all in one place.
The maps I'm doing are for Networks that don't have their own interactive maps, so don't expect to see USGS or EMSC, Mexico or Australia there.

Just added Thailand

Seismological Bureau, Thai Meteorological Department established an Automatic Earthquake Monitoring System to serve all the needs of raw ground motion data, sea level changes, displacement and analyzed seismic data for the public interest and multi users. The system consists of 40 seismic stations, 26 accelerograph stations, 9 tidal gauge stations , 4 GPS stations.

The events shown on the interactive map below are based on data from TMD since Jan 1 2012

I might do the Russians, they do a good daily list, but just do individual maps of each event
also Geofon and ................

edit: I added the Plate Boundries to the interactive map since taking the screenshot

emsc,2012-05-26 21:48:09, 26.851, 140.190, 5.5, 472.0, Bonin Isls. Japan Region

Something not right here Japanese met office showing 6.1 Ml and emsc showing 5.5 Mw and 51 seconds earlier and 98 km distant from the JMA quake.

ETA: I think that JMA may be out looking at the line of recent very deep subduction quakes. Bit of deep slab pull going on?




Geofon 5.9 Mw which on the conversion chart is very nearly a Mag 6 on the ML scale so much closer to the JMA estimate than USGS or EMSC which mirror each other @ 5.5 Mw. Something not right here but the problem is it is so deep it really does not show up on LISS at all.

HA, I was just about to post tis next part and checked the list again. USGS have put it up to Mag 6.0

TMD have 5.9 www.seismology.tmd.go.th...
They use Geofon anyway for their Global source.

edit: been downgraded to 5.5 during the time it took me to copy and paste the address

reply to post by muzzy


OK Geofon have downgraded it to 5.5 Mw as well. This is still screwy. USGS had it at 5.5 and put it up, Geofon had it at 5.9 and put it down!

We have a centroid tensor at 6.0 Mw: earthquake.usgs.gov...

And a body wave tensor at 6.0 Mw: earthquake.usgs.gov...

And SCARDEC at 6.0 Mw: www.geoazur.net...

Sorry Geofon, you should not copy EMSC. You are outvoted!!!!

reply to post by PuterMan

Yeah Geofon probably wrong on this one
The Russians have 5.8mb
