Quake Watch 2014

from last nights TV News the reporter said

there have been hundreds of aftershocks

Well maybe, but none of them very big, only 141 total in 14 hours, biggest a 4.2 at the 11:00:00 mark
par for the course though, they take a while to locate them, data could come through in about 2 weeks!
When I did the July update for China the first 7 days were missing, nothing at all!
those 145 aftershocks, map

Just noticed a couple more swarms.
These are in the last 24 hours.

26 quakes in The Geysers/Cobb, Calif.

19 in Portola, Calif.

7 in Calipatria, Calif.

Some twinning going on even in Tenn!

Had a rare shake here down at the bottom end of Africa today
USGS M5.3 - 6km E of Orkney, South Africa

a reply to: egoli

Some mineworkers at Orkney in the North West were trapped following an earth tremor on Tuesday, said emergency workers.
Magnitude 5.3 earthquake shakes central South Africa, rocks Joburg buildings Magnitude 5.3 earthquake shakes central South Africa, rocks Joburg buildings

ER24 spokeswoman Luyanda Majija said they had received reports that the tremor had had a significant impact on one mine.
"Our crew is heading to the mine where miners are reported to trapped at 11 shafts," said Majija.
She could not immediately confirm the name of the mine.

Emergency workers say a man in Orkney died when a wall collapsed on him. Mine shafts in the area were evacuated but there were no injuries reported from underground.
South Africa experiences periodic, medium-sized earthquakes. The same area was hit by 4.9 magnitude tremor two months ago.
The South African Press Association says Tuesday's earthquake lasted for about a minute and was felt in several cities, including Cape Town and Durban.

The Sudbury Basin, also known as Sudbury Structure or the Sudbury Nickel Irruptive, is a major geologic structure in Ontario, Canada. It is the second-largest known impact crater or astrobleme on Earth, as well as one of the oldest.[1]
The basin is located on the Canadian Shield in the city of Greater Sudbury, Ontario. The former municipalities of Rayside-Balfour and Valley East lie within the Sudbury Basin, which is referred to locally as "The Valley". The urban core of the former city of Sudbury lies on the southern outskirts of the basin.
The Sudbury Basin is located near a number of other geological structures, including the Temagami Magnetic Anomaly, the Lake Wanapitei impact crater, the western end of the Ottawa-Bonnechere Graben, the Grenville Front Tectonic Zone and the eastern end of the Great Lakes Tectonic Zone, although none of the structures are directly related to each other in the sense of resulting from the same geophysical processes.

dataPath=/photogallery/documentaries/gallery_646/xml/gallery_646.xml

The Sudbury Structure is a famous geological feature that hosts one of the largest concentrations of nickel-copper sulphides in the world.
The Sudbury Basin, 27 km (17 mi.) wide, 60 km (37 mi.) long and 15 km (10 mi.) deep, is believed to have been formed by a meteorite impact 1.8 billion years ago.
Sudbury is home to the largest integrated mining complex in the world.
There are 5,000 km (3,107 mi.) of mining tunnels under the Sudbury area. Placed end-to-end, you could drive from Sudbury to Vancouver underground. Sudbury’s landmark Big Nickel is 9 metres (30 ft.) high and recognized around the world.

No doubt

charming phrase used a lot by Canadians

another one is "I'm good", which means " no thanks"
that's the answer to "do you want some more coffee/icecream/toast/(enter anything here)?"

Yesterday Lakeview, Oregon/Nevada had a swarm of 9 quakes.
Today in the last 23 hours it has increased to 35.

The Geysers/Cobb, California was 26 yesterday.
Today in the last 23 hours it's 31.

Local authorities have upgraded this to 5.5 . However the biggest problem now is with the National Union of Mine Workers demanding 10.5

That was a very strange quake.. I felt it like somebody was pushing me hard. Started with a tiny sway and then one quick jerk. People in the testimonies talk about a circular motion which is odd.

No aftershocks, nothing

a reply to: Hellas

so where does that one fit in the bigger picture for Crete???

i had a look back 4 years,
this would make it the 17th= biggest quake within that time period
