Quake Watch 2014

a reply to: wasobservingquietly

Yup another stunning example of their stupid 'locations love affair'. I have said it before but, these are OK if you are a local otherwise they are useless. If I said there was an earthquake 95km SE of Garahill would that mean anything to anyone? No, not even to people who live 50 miles from there. (It is Ireland of course)

My program converts (optionally) all locations to the FE nomenclature

There have been a few small quakes in the Mount Lassen area of California. Could those be related to the swarm in Nevada?

ETA:
There was also a swarm in the Lassen area during the month of October:

Lassen Volcanic Center: A modest swarm of low-magnitude earthquakes occurred about 25 miles NW of the town of Chester on October 3-12. There were close to 10 earthquakes of M1.0 or greater, with the largest registering M2.1.

I don't know where they came up with these locations?? Closer to Wichita Kansas, jeesh. Not even on USGS yet
4.8 on USGS now and now 4.8 for EMSC
Gotta love the comments/testimonies for these though...

We thought a "heavy" person walked by with a cart full of computers causing the shelves and cube walls to shake. Got up and there was no heavy person there.

seemed like everything was swaying.....my daughter was laying in bed (a very heavy bed) and i was in an overstuffed chair. It felt to me that a cat was sharpening his claws on the back of the chair but no cat was there or sound

looks like this was felt for quite some distance Savannah Georgia?

From the text below you can see that it is rare which was my immediate thought when it popped up.

At this time the BGS have received a single report from the area of this event being felt. It described "a weak trembling" and "effect was like somebody jumping on the roof".

This is the largest earthquake detected in the region since a magnitude 2.3 event on 9 December 2007 which was felt, in the Penicuik area, with a intensity of 3 EMS. There was also another magnitude 2.3 event detected around three weeks earlier (30 November 2007), which was also felt in the region with a similar intensity.

Updated 13 November 2014 11:30 UTC.

The code I use for creating the Google Maps link does not seem to show anything now. The location should be in the middle of the screen. Muzzy, any ideas on how to deal with what they have obviously changed? The numpties can't leave anything alone!

Any particular reason why you say mad made?

It appears that NW Nevada is still not settled down. The shaking continues.

Not sure Puterman, it may be because thats showing on "new" Google Maps. I still use the "classic" version.
I can't see why they changed it, you can't find terrain or other options easily now.

Quite rare, between Vanuatu and Fiji, I think there was anothe M6 earlier this year there too

a reply to: muzzy

Yes EMSC have this as a 6 as ell but USGS still have it as 5.7mb which does not quite make it to 6.0 Mw

Iceland:

Still popping off bigger quakes in the caldera but this last one is way off course compared to the others.

Holy Cow, I hope i-frames still work, or that MyMaps can be inserted in an i-frame
otherwise 8 years worth of my earthquake archiving will go down the drain.

IMO say different, its at the south side of the Caldera according to them
14.11.2014 11:25:46, 64.612, -17.433, 5.4, 2.6 km

emsc have since moved it closer to Bardarbunga, not on the Caldera Rim, but down on the Glacier

quite a big jump in number of quakes on yesterday 13th, before this M5.4
mag~1= 12
mag1= 48
mag2= 15
mag3= 22
mag4= 13
mag5= 0
total= 110
TTNT= 1179.111
numbers had been averaging 56 per day so far this month

most of the activity has been on/under the North Rim, but one of those 4's (a 4.4) was at the same spot the Dike broke out on the 16th Aug, and just east of the aforementioned M5.4.
could be a new development

This is not far off the point given by the IEVPC for the Mag 8 they have predicted.

Mag 6+ after shock - more details in a moment

2014-11-15 03:08:05, -0.300, 124.100, 6.2, 85.0 Molucca Sea

EMSC now saying 5.9mb but that translates to about 6.1 Mw
www.emsc-csem.org...

Finally USGS on the scene with 5.9mb as well
earthquake.usgs.gov...

GFZ still on 6.2 but this is automatic
geofon.gfz-potsdam.de...

I am somewhat in awe of that prediction. Whew, it slid in there right before the closing bell didn't it? Well, it wasn't an 8, but close enough in the "prediction field" I think we should let them have it.

I am excited to see them actually get one near enough. What does that mean for the future of earthquake watches? I am saddened that Indonesia will more than likely have damage though.

Thank you for bringing that article to my attention PM.

This is not far off the point given by the IEVPC for the Mag 8 they have predicted.

Not far in distance but a mile away in strength, unless this is just a precursor.

It is a log scale so it is quite a few magnitudes off.

I don't remember how to do logs way too long ago.

P

I wouldn't give it too much notice, although it is in the general area (278km)
the prediction was from Monday, January 7, 2013 - December 2014
almost 2 years span
its 1,344,028 TTNT(M7.3) versus 15,080,242 TTNT(M8.0)
massive difference

lets not hope its not a foreshock,
the 6.0 aftershock was quite a long way from the 7.3 (362.6km)which might mean this is a major fault about to break

plenty of history there (497 quakes above M5.5 since 1990)

goo.gl... (link good till Feb 2015 ........ apparently)



FYI data comes from Wilber3 ds.iris.edu...

I'm using that instead of Useless these days, same data, but more user friendly presentation , and of course the history aspect right there in the dropdown Load Event Data: space

How long till they dump this handy web page I wonder? or should I say "upgrade " it, and ruin it.
Get all my P and S wave Travel/Arrival Times from here too.
