It's predominantly Virgin Islands [very shakey that day], Puerto Rico and Dominican Republic. [link to earthquake.usgs.gov] |

Hjemmet User ID: 933191 United States 04/03/2010 10:30 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | From another EQ list: "it was an error - they sent out a delete notice as well - there was an apology posted somewhere - it said: <<<Users of the USGS Earthquake Notification System received a message reporting a magnitude 8.0 earthquake near the Dominican Republic. This was a mistake. In an effort to increase our ability to detect smaller earthquakes in the Caribbean region following the January 12th earthquake in Haiti, the USGS began accepting earthquake locations and magnitudes from additional sources in the region. The message reporting a magnitude 8.0 earthquake near the Dominican Republic was incorrect and resulted in the distribution of the errant e-mail. We acknowledge this was a serious mistake and have issued a correction. >>>" |

AKindler90 User ID: 933709 United States 04/03/2010 10:19 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | What is needed is a number of independent seismic activity sources so we can have a more reliable collection of data on earthquakes. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 933205I guess what you really mean is to *correlate* independent seismic activity sources so we can have ... Just thoughtlessly adding them up, as they did initially, is what caused this whole false positive. Windows Live Alerts also reported this earthquake: "USGC reports preliminary 8.0 quake centered 130 miles northeast of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic" (note misspelling of *USGS*) but as of today the USGS shows no such "animal" in their table. To me, looks like a recycled alert from the Haiti quake, with typos, and then sent through the Dominican Republic seismic reporting network. I hope USGS learn their lesson to not blindly trust any sources not controlled by them. |
