Quake Watch 2014

Now that is interesting , hadn't seen that.
another oddity, in this context at least.
Thanks for the post

Was about to call it a night here in NZ, and just spotted this quake...imagine it would have been a nasty early alarm for many!

Hope nothing too major, but noticed it was very shallow and near the airport.

Take care.

Thanks, SpaceJockey. 'Hardest part was calming the cat down so we could all get back to sleep. The Weather Channel just aired some good coverage of the damage, mostly in Napa. They're saying ~70 people were injured. We were lucky, here.

My friend is in Santiago right now. He is on the 6th floor of his hotel. He posted on FB that they are OK.

Just very small aftershocks so far--the largest was a mag 3.6.
This quake did not occur directly on a known fault, but in a fault zone between two well-known faults (Haywood-Rodgers Creek & Concord-Green Valley) capable of large (mag >6.7) quakes.
The epicentral area does however, show evidence of large earthquake faulting in prehistory.

The earthquake occurred near the well-known West Napa Fault, and the less well known Carneros-Franklin Faults, which juxtapose different suites of rocks. Although there are several faults in the region of the earthquake, only the West Napa Fault is known to have displaced Holocene-age sediment — which is positive evidence of surface fault rupture in the last 11,000 years.

I never would have picked this location for the next large quake to occur in California.

I guess once again I should not say things are quiet. That produced a 6.6 in Chile and the 6 in Calisomethingorother. Mmm!

@Olivine: Add Cali 6 and NW Tremor and what do you get?? W8 - love it (see below) (Oh I went widescreen for the first time as well having resisted for years)

Muzzy it's no wonder you find the keys difficult - I think I would having to hang on with my toes all the time to stop falling off.

Actually once Classic Shell is installed my W8.1 is a doddle. Very little difference from XP, in fact you might not even realise if you have not tried it. A couple of things in different places and once all the stupid charms are unpinned even the start page (which I never visit) looks OK.

Not a problem.

CNN had a story on the jellyfish.
www.cnn.com...

There are probably more strange animal stories over this,
but those are the only two I know of so far.

a reply to: Darkblade71

interesting connection, quake and billions of jellyfish beaching themselves up along the coast.

Might explain why it is happening?

Totally missed that 6.0 San Fran. quake this morning
120 injured says the CNN

a reply to: PuterMan

never knew about that. I skipped W7, so not sure if this is worth it.
The worst thing that I haven't been able to fix is the sliding scroll bar on the right hand side, is the same on Firefox and IE so it must be a W8 thing, its so light I can't find it half the time!
I've tried changing settings a few times but they all have the light scroll bar.
Glad you got it sorted so quick, guess that why you got the name Puterman

I am beginning to think N. America and South America are playing tennis. Let us hope the ball is dropped after that last one. Game over?

Prayers for all affected.

Now, if I could only do that in word. But it can't be done Grrrrr

P)

since the 6.0 mag quake in napa california there have been only 7 aftershocks . as you can see here. it is in my opinion that there should be more aftershocks if this was the main shock. yes ?

Only 7 aftershocks? Take a look here. The 6.0 quake is now about halfway down the page, noted in red. Location is given as 4 miles NW of American Canyon, CA. Now scroll up the page, noting how many additional quakes there have been since then, located between 4-6 miles NW of American Canyon, CA, & of 1+ to 2+ magnitude. Far more than 7, yes?

i stand corrected, sorry about that...

Nothing to be sorry about, it's all one big learning experience. BTW, I wasn't arguing the point. I noticed all those 'shocks happening in the area earlier, & was struck by their number. That's mainly why I replied.
I'm too far away to be affected by the later, comparatively smaller quakes, but I feel for the people in that area. Once your nerves are jangled by a large quake, every aftershock tends to scare you on a deep level, until you can be sure that the larger shaking isn't starting in again.

a reply to: PuterMan

Problem solved indeed!, that is just great! I can see it now, by default I got a bluey coloured one
thanks for that Puterman

Looks like Peru is getting a lot of 5&6's the past couple days....
