[quote:AKindler90 933709:MV8xMDI5NTczXzE2Mjc4Mjc1XzgxRUQ2Q0FF] [quote:Anonymous Coward 933205] What is needed is a number of independent seismic activity sources so we can have a more reliable collection of data on earthquakes. [/quote] I 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. [/quote]
Original Message
I receive breaking news texts from CNN, and I got one about an hour ago from the USGC. It read: USGC reports preliminary 8.0 quake centered 130 miles northeast of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.
I have been on the USGC site, as well as major news networks, and there has been no indication of this quake.
Does anyone have any insight into this?
