I thought it would be an interesting exercise to work out the magnitudes. Four and a half hours later I am not even half way through and have to stop - and in addition have found many that are not even mentioned on that map.

Compare the few on the map with this Haiti quake publication

I have started and I shall finish some time, but not today! Forgive me therefore for posting a part done map - but at least it gives an idea of the sort of magnitudes they are including.



I had always intended to look more closely at this area so thanks for kick-starting the project! (I think )

PS the map does not look the same as above because I have overlaid the lat/lon grid.

hey Puterman i know ya said you were not done yet with that map but were the current swarm has been i didnt see a major eq located on that map. Has there been a major eq there in the past?

PuterMan, this YouTube guy is showing the seismometers for Louisiana sinkhole area have been put off line. Do you have any idea why this would be done? Anything to worry about?

Thanks for picking up the ball & running with it!
Okay, maybe not running....
Or maybe running & then getting sidelined!!! Ha, ha!

I couldn't get the Haiti Quake Publication to open, it kept freezing my computer.
It said a drawing error has occurred.
Not enough memory left already???!!! I must clean house, er computer!
I was able to use the thumbnail though to at least see the magnitudes there.

So 6.4 to 8.3 range using the magnitudes as listed.
I'll be interested to see what else you find!

Thanks for posting the maps from that link.
That's going to be one of my New year's resolutions.....
to learn how to do some of those things.

Hey, it worked this time!!! I did it all by myself!!!

How can we stop frackquakes ?

At the time of the Arkansas swarm, Susan and her neighbours should take the matter to court.
Sue the frackers.

What's the Dakotas got to do with Texas?
Well, the Dakotas are a lot like Texas. Both have increasing rates of earthquakes and they love to drill wells.

I was going to say something about Louisiana but Puterman pretty much summed it up. It looks like they'll be storing gas in all kinds of interesting places. The gas boys are keen on finding new ways to create unintended consequences and cause natural disasters.

Just for own sake due to obsessive watching, I'm thinking rain in China and/or Asia may increase, as do the rains...(raining harder=dirtier air)

Unfortunately people who make these sort of YT videos have little knowledge. To assume that the seismometers have 'been taken off line' is jumping to conclusions as the inference is that it was done intentionally. I do not believe that to be that case.

This trace shows something happened LA01.GS.00.BHZ.2012.279

The seismo is now back on line: LA01.GS.00.BHZ.2012.282

It got sick and someone made it better. It just took a bit of time and it came back on the 7th: LA01.GS.00.BHZ.2012.281

In the meantime LA09 was functional: LA09.GS.00.BHZ.2012.281 for the 7th, LA09.GS.00.BHZ.2012.281 for the 6th and LA09.GS.00.BHZ.2012.279 for the 5th which interestingly also shows some sort of problem but the instrument survived the trauma, took an aspirin and carried on. LA02 was also OK. I have not checked the others.

There are 6 (I think) seismos there yet this YT jockey singles out ONE and infers there is no coverage. I won't print what I think of people like that!


By the way since we are discussing the sinkhole this may be of interest.

A lot of good wilfing in your links!

I didn't know this about the fracking video:

The Fracking Song
By Bob Downing Published: December 23, 2011
On Dec. 7, Time magazine named "My Water's On Fire Tonight (The Fracking Song)" one of its Top 10 most-creative videos of 2011.
The 2-minute, 33-second video was creative by a team of New York University students at Studio 20 NYU.

www.ohio.com...

Another fracking animation video:

www.ohio.com...
Isn't working for some reason. It's after the first video.

Love this one. Two frack feuding grannies!!!
www.ohio.com...

New movie on fracking due out in December
The trailers are out for for Gus Van Sant’s dramatic movie Promised Land.
The film stars Matt Damon and Frances McDormand as an oil company sales team sent in to snap up oil leases in a dying farm town.
It’s been slated to open in limited release on Dec. 28.
The script was written by Damon and John Krasinki (NBC’s The Office), who co-stars as a community activist.
Van Sant directed Damon in Good Will Hunting.

Looks like it should be good.

Anybody here familiar with`the 70's tv soap Dallas? Well it's back on channel 5 here in the UK...and guess what..Bobby Ewings son Christopher is all growed up and trying to 'invent' a new way to get at gas without causing eq's!!!! Will be interesting to see where they go with this storyline.

OK, I'll go get my first brew of the day now.

Curious that. First they say 6.4 Mw, now they say 5.6 mb which is way under a mag 6 Mw let alone a 6.4.

USGS still sticking at 6.4 for the time being.


Update on that. EMSC and USGS not changed positions yet.

Potsdam have just come in with a manually revised Mag 6.6 Mw

SCARDEC also have Mag 6.6 Mw

Something definitely wrong with the EMSC revision down to 5.6 mb
