Re: M 6.4 Southern California
Odd. I was just thinking the same thing. I've never seen them proffer such an explanation on one particular "medium sized" quake before! It's as though USGS is trying to reassure everyone in So Cal that there's "nothing to worry about - the tone of the press release seems to imply "that it's just some little anomalous quake that means little or nothing" - although at 6.4 how "little & meaningless" it is certainly is subject to debate.

As Shakespeare said "Me Thinks the lady doth protest too much!"

I wonder what they REALLY know or suspect strongly that they're now trying to cover up? Something is going on and it's far more than just this one quake that USGS is trying so hard to "blow off" as though it is nothing.

Any ideas?

I've never seen this kind of explanation on the USGS site for a specific quake.

Just means the first shaker was too deep to cause an actual fault rupture. The second one is closer to the surface.

I don't like this. There are no known fault lines in that area. I think this is a precursor quake. Be careful Californians and get your bug-out bags ready.

as far as the mag 6+ - it was ONE quake. and 10-20 km is not deep, it is in fact very SHALLOW at between 12 to 6 miles underground.

Thread: AS I THOUGHT,THE RICHTER SCALE WAS DOWNGRADED.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 29014015


We're not even using the Richter scale anymore. We're using the moment magnitude scale, since we discovered that the Richter scale has a limit.

If I remember this right, up to a magnitude of approximately 7.6 both the Richter scale and the MMS were identical and accurate, but very large quakes above that magnitude couldn't be classified correctly on the Richter scale. So we switched to the open-ended (and far more logical) moment magnitude scale.

That the scale was downgraded is complete bullshit. If it was so, those extremely large quakes above M9.0 would have been above M10.0 which is impossible?!

Go learn something about how quakes are reported. There are different monitoring stations - different equipment which reports electronically. Those are not 5 separate mag 6+ quakes, it is the same quake.

Only the Media callss aftershocks, aftershocks. They the USGS and a earthquake panel last year hav stated that aftershocks are Erathquakes that come after.

So for the sake of argument can everybody call them what they are.

Earthquakes are all earthquakes. Before. During nad afterwards. There's no such thing as an aftershock anymore.

California has had 7 earthquakes all of a magnitude 5.5 or better.

Watch that Salton Sea. One quake was centered very close.
