Indeed you did and thank you. I saw your link. It was just that the etch-a-sketch picture tickled me. I did star that link to here for you.

Asia - Russia, people. It might be nothing, but it could be something, so no attitude, please.

A swarm near Fiji, too, but yeah, I'm more focused on Asia - Russia, keeping a close eye on the scene. Small-med size quakes will hopefully even it all out, but you never know.

March, be quiet- you.

A big uptick in the past 10-20 minutes. The thing keeps going wild with alerts. They're saying that Keio Line railway has been delayed and that Yamanashi keeps shaking.

"Good morning! The Yamanashi M waveform and the earthquake more than 4 are on the rise, beware today & surveillance."

"Near the Mount Fuji with the earthquake I'm afraid..."

Translating the best I can with the little I know of Japanese and a translator at hand.

They seem concerned of Yamanashi still, and keep mentioning to practice "blank" exercises.

To update since...

They are real-time.

It is a make up of several agencies working together as far as I can tell. I honestly don't know what I'm entirely looking at aside from the left graph. Not sure what the right refers to.

I know a normal trend cause I've watched it a dozen times or so, seems more elevated as of a half hour ago, they seem to be hasty with the chat updates, too.

It was originally posted here, can't recall by who but they might know more than I do.

Kuril Islands



Interesting how statistics can lie. The linear trend is down over the period but the polynomial shows a different picture.

Either here or Alaska are my choice for the next mega-quake. I have no idea why, just a feeling. We will have none of that unscientific stuff here thank you PM.

Interesting graph

Might get a different poly line if you went back a bit to the 1960's

1969 - 8.1

Ya, I was in a hurry and the USGS circular search. like so many of their catalogues, only starts from the early 1970s. I hate starting there because it was near the lowest ebb as the tide of quakes turned and started coming back in again to reach full tide last year in Japan. Now the tide turns, and starts to flow out again to a low tide in 2035 or thereabouts before building to a new crescendo around 2060.

Well it's verbally picturesque even if you think it is rubbish (which I happen to think it is not). What really annoys the hell out me is that I won't be around then to see if I was right! Where is that elixir of immortality, I want some.

No one gives that much credibility to the US
