There sure are. Lots of methane as well.

Not getting at your comment, but these things are always a matter of perception and frequently our perceptions are incorrect. You are not alone in this - I do it myself.

One year ago Turkey was MUCH busier


And over the past month? Well pretty steady in terms of numbers anyway.

There was a mag 3.5 in 2011 (30.080, -88.001).....found it

That is about 7.5km from the one to which you are referring. At 230 or so kilometres from the quake to the Deepwater area I think it is unlikely that this quake has any connection at all to that. If something was cracking up in the Deepwater area then we would be seeing quakes around, and spreading out from, that site but we are not seeing that.

It is also around 297 kilometres from the earthquake to the sink hole so again I think it very unlikely that there is a connection between the two.

I still of course maintain that the whole of the main US 'basin' is connected via shale deposits, but I believe that the earthquake in the bay is isolated. It may even be worth seeing if there is an off-shore rig close by.

Who was Juan de Fuca?

When one sees the name ‘Juan de Fuca’, one might assume that he was a Spanish explorer of some kind in the area. Well, one out of three ain’t bad. Much as Cristóbal Colón was the Spanish translation of the Italian name Cristoforo Colombo (the man known in English as Christopher Columbus), ‘Juan de Fuca’ was the Spanish translation of the Greek name Ioánnis Fokás (Phokás) (although nobody in English called him ‘John Fouke’). Fokás came from the largest of Greece’s Ionian Islands , Kefelonia, born there in 1536. Fokás’ name is often given as Apóstolos Valeriános by many, if not most, sources, but this appears to be mostly a nickname based upon his origins in the Kefelonian village of Valeriános (as for Apóstolos, it may be a baptismal name). How Fokás came to be in the service of Spain is unknown, but his island background would likely have served to introduce him to seafaring at an early age, and Spain had commercial trading relations with the Ionian Islands which resulted in many Ionians joining Spanish ships. It is believed Fokás was in the Spanish fleet before his 20th birthday.

Im sute they will change it some, but a 4.3 just went off in Kentucky.

Thanks for the info. You are awesome.

The Centennial List has 100 years of archived earthquakes.
ha!
how about 1007 years worth?

the map below contains all 691 Mag 5+ quakes recorded in the CPTI11, the 2011 version of the Parametric Catalogue of Italian Earthquakes. Milano, Bologna from 1005AD to 2005AD and the ISIDe – Italian Seismological Instrumental and Parametric Data-Base 2006-2012, both hosted by INGV.
Italy 1005AD to 2012AD interactive map
contains quite a few quakes in Austria, Switzerland, Croatia and Slovenia as well

thats just part of the 1005-2006 CPTI11 cataloq, it has quakes down to 3.5 Mw (which I find strange that they go that low in Mw) a total of 2985 events.

I put that map next to Utsu's Italy map to see what he missed, quite a few actually, mostly Mag 6's, and some of his locations differ a bit. I'd take the CPTI11 as the definitive catalog, as it was published after Utsu did most of his research work, his web page hosted by IISEE hasn't really kept up to its promise to keep it updated.

Strange, I came on to say here is a petroleum map of Kentucky showing all the wells.

Peppered with them so it is.

Here is some info from Earthquake Report...

Very dangerous earthquake in Myanmar A very dangerous earthquake just occurred in Myanmar. The preliminary Magnitude is M6.7 ! at a depth of 30 km. If these parameters are confirmed, we have to call this earthquake extremely dangerous.

EMSC just dropped it to 6.0mb???????????????????????????????????? WTH is that all about?

I guess it will go up again.It did. Now at 6.6 Mw like the Masters

No point in showing the nearest seismo the trace looks very small but it is 1 millions counts which is the most I have ever seem on a siesmo.

Oh here it is anyway MHIT.TM..BHZ.2012.316 not very impressive until you take the scaling into account.

Maybe a 6.1 aftershock

Cannot get that link to show. Working now. Interesting - the curly braces were stopping it [Map] but Map works.


Yes - Here is the EMSC version just in

I am finding this very odd. It is now 11:23 UTC but nothing on USGS at all. The RED (Rapid Earthquake Display) has later quakes

earthquake-report.com... is now saying dozens feared dead from the Mayanmar Quake....Over a hundred homes have been damaged or destroyed and the I felt it reports were scary!!

PM, do you find it strange Kentucky has not had but three aftershocks or am I missing something. Also, is there a fault line associated with the KY quake or do you suspect drilling as cause?

One thing concerns me greatly. You really should not spend so much time driving on the wrong side of the road!

Haha PM you had me there for a second, I thought to myself "Was I on the wrong side of the road?"

Originally posted by Olivine
I have to say, I'm with Puterman; how on earth did you stay on the road?!! Toward the beginning when you were travelling through the burned area and the hairpin curve, I thought, "there must be a passenger filming this". Later on, it was obvious I was wrong!

That reminds me of something that my former spouse told me on time about my ability to multi-task while behind the wheel
I don't text and drive, but I suppose this wasn't much safer Uh-oh, in filming this did I just implicate myself in a case of distracted driving???
PM, I agree that it was much busier last year - I'm sure that just being there had a huge effect on my perception of any increase in activity. I'm so fascinated (terrified?) by the place that I have to admit I had a bit of uneasiness. The little voice in the back of my head was saying "What are you doing here? Run away - Far away! "

Drilling or mining. I personally think it is possibly mining related but there are a number of wells there.

See the map on my post here
