Disappearing Earthquake Canadian Coast Today

OK, so today I saw on Telegram a post that a 6.5 magnitude earthquake occurred along the coast of Canada. I went to the USGS site, and sure enough, there was a big red spot indicating a big earthquake about half way up the Canadian west coast. Red spot indicates it occurred within the hour. I was curious about shake and tsunami, so I went to the shake map and took a screen shot for reference. When I went back to the main map, the big red spot was GONE, it has never come back. When I went back into the shake map, it said event was deleted.
The only evidence I have is the couple of screen shots. The question is, why would USGS remove evidence of an earthquake? I did hear that the various earth watchers have said that evidence of earthquakes along the west coast and Canada were being scrubbed, but I would not have believed it if I hadn't seen it myself in real time.
Any theories?
I have four images of the Telegram announcement of the earthquake, the shake map, the item announcing that the event deleted, and the regular USGS map with nothing in the area. I did not get a screen shot of the big red dot when it was there.
I am using Chrome, and I cannot figure out how to include these pictures in the post. All I get is a bar at the top that does not respond to the pictures.

Earthquake live has removed as well a bit strange.

Perhaps it wasn't an earthquake.

Perhaps it was just an explosion close to the seismometer? Perhaps someone bumped it off the bench?

Don't they use several seismometers in different locations to assess these?

Dutchsinse has nothing and they would usually wet themselves with a 6.5 on the Canadian PNW. In fact, Dutchsinse has been eerily quiet since late August.

What's weird is the USGS list 41 of 42 earthquakes currently on the map even when you have expanded to have the whole map on there.

I came to realize during Desert Storm that the initial reports were the most truthful, even if inaccurate to some degree. The later reports were spin or outright lies to cover-up the first reports. So given the information changed without explanation I tend to believe the first report before it's deletion.

False reports get deleted. It happens. Here an explanation and some examples. USGS is pretty transparent.

Occasionally our systems produce erroneous information that is released to the public via our web pages or Earthquake Notification System. These mistakes are generally promptly identified by seismologists, removed from our web pages, and “delete” e-mails are sent through ENS. In the interest of rapidly providing earthquake information to the public, most of the information about earthquakes that occur in the USA is automatically posted to the web and ENS if it meets quality standards.

Better to cry wolf, than not cry at all.

Makes sense to auto report false positives, in the case of earthquakes.

It was probably just an auto-report and not a real quake.

What are the repercussions for automatically reporting a false quake?
What are the repercussions for accidentally ignoring a positive, because it might be false?

Consider those two questions, and it's obvious that it's not a conspiracy, but just SOP and best practice.

Proof you are not going crazy or seeing things🤗 you're screenshots are spot on👍🏼

That's interesting, I've seen many considerably good size earthquakes in that area monthly.

Also have seen many false Volcano Eruption reports in that area via Flightradar24 that are eventually removed after 5 or so hours.

Thanks for that input.

Glitch,
Rebooting....😧

Woohoo. Geology thread!

Happens all the time. A faulty sensor and no first hand reporting. At least someone would have felt it. This was, as screen grabbed at USGS, a software glitch.

www.volcanodiscovery.com...

This site is great because it catches DYFI responses in real time. It even catches all the sonic booms people report. It establishes the "unknown event" based on feedback and will generate without seismologist confirmation. Then 30 minutes later updates the event was a sonic boom.

I actually prefer The USGS old map and reporting system which is now operated by CalTech.

scedc.caltech.edu...

Every so often you can catch these anomalous 5 pointers, always seemingly near Edwards AFB. They'll disappear without even a "sonic boom" footnote. But will still retain pages at VolcanicDiscovery even when removed by others.

The day of the second Ridgequest quake there were several 5.0+ events reported along adjacent faults to the southwest of the Garlock Fault (around the big bend). Looked like they were triggered in rapid succession. Those were also never clarified, felt, and then disappeared without a footnote.

Definitely was in error. It's not exactly in an uninhabited area, there'd have been people, from Bella Bella at least, posting up a storm online if it was real, especially since it was only 15 KM deep -- it's still going to sway the ground a good bit. As the crow flies, it looks like...what, 300-400 miles north of Vancouver -- they'd still have felt that there, folks.

If the locals ain't up in arms, it didn't happen, and certainly not to that strength extent.

a reply to: Nyiah

Yep if anyone has questions if they felt anything just zoom into google maps on Bella Bella and just call one of the local businesses in town and ask.

a reply to: Bigburgh

Certainly an active area. I wasn't able to track down the redacted report, too bad the opening post didn't include a URL. Could've probably figured out why it was dismissed from there.

And people say you can't hear a picture.
