wonder how noticeable that Sicily 3.1 was

Japan is on such a daily roll of multiple 6's, it must be like being on a wobbly boat everyday now.

I have to say it's a pretty funny coincidence that after yesterday and the sonic boom in the UK - with a lot of people suggesting it was a quake - we actually get a little shake today

1.5 in Yorkshire is nowt to worry about.
Probably a stampede of pigs or something.

Portugal/Gibraltar 3.1 (minutes ago!)
Sicily 3.1

I am thinking old mine shaft collapse. Happens every now and again where i am and we have a reported "earthquake". First one i ever felt was about 1 mile from old house (Selby Coalfield). There was a bang and the house shook. I thought, great, i have experienced an earthquake and then found it was mag 2 or something equally pathetic. Talk about a disappointed adolescent!

More than likely, we get our fair share of shaft collapses here too.
Most awesome one was when I was still in high school. We were in science at top block. Company was blasting at an opencast mine a mile away but it must have collapsed a few old shafts surrounding it. The whole building whipped from side to side. Much fun on those high stools we used to have. Kids sliding everywhere.

Old git teacher who's nickname was the Dungeon Master, on account of him being tiny, old and bald, refused to let us leave the building.

The quake in Sicily of this morning was a 4.7 one, enough to let city authorities of Palermo to close schools.

USGS

Despite what respectable ATS members say, an increase in earthquake activity seems evident. Few minutes ago I was reading an article from USGS about the increase of the number of 3+ quakes in central USA, authorities are trying to understand if this increase is due to man-made operations (fracking) or to natural reasons.

USG S quake increase USA

USGS scientists have been investigating the recent increase in the number of magnitude 3 and greater earthquakes in the midcontinent of the United States. Beginning in 2001, the average number of earthquakes occurring per year of magnitude 3 or greater increased significantly, culminating in a six-fold increase in 2011 over 20th century levels.

Hey,

I'm in Yorkshire UK, but felt no quake.

More likely to be shhep than pigs round my way.

I wondered about that too, I heard two booms here yesterday, they were deep but not heavy, and both rose and fell in volume, as if in a reverb chamber.
