It seemed outrageous. I tried to do a search on usgs archive but only made it as far as decimal degree coordinates and gave up. I have a lot to learn.

lol yeah... that was epic :) We should have a GLP classic one liner thread

:brilliant:

You can use this link to USGS to see a list and map of 1 day, mag 2.5+ worldwide

Or this link for 1 day, all mags worldwide

[link to earthquake.usgs.gov]

But, FYI, USGS does not list everything. However they are pretty good with the California quakes.



This link is 7 days, mag 2.5+ worldwide : )

Yes or use this link it's pretty dependable and you can get euro above us below on one page :)

That is the ONLY quake on that lengthy list that is beneath the Gulf of Alaska.

That's an excellent link!

Yep a shift and after today's along with Kamchatka quakes and Japan

April 2014 – ATLANTIC - A 6.9 earthquake shook the remote Bouvet Islands in the South Atlantic Ocean Tuesday Morning. Bouvet Island (Norwegian: Bouvetøya, is an uninhabited subantarctic volcanic island and dependency of Norway located in the South Atlantic Ocean at 54°25.8′S 3°22.8′ECoordinates: 54°25.8′S 3°22.8′E. It lies at the southern end of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and is the most remote island in the world, approximately 2,200 kilometers (1,400 mi) south-southwest of the coast of South Africa and approximately 1,700 kilometers (1,100 mi) north of the Princess Astrid Coast of Queen Maud Land, Antarctica. The island has an area of 49 square kilometers (19 sq mi), of which 93 percent is covered by a glacier. The centre of the island is an ice-filled crater of an inactive volcano. Some skerries and one smaller island, Larsøya, lie along the coast. Nyrøysa, created by a rock slide in the late 1950s, is the only easy place to land and is the location of a weather station.

The island was first spotted on January 1, 1739, by (and was later named for) Jean-Baptiste Charles Bouvet de Lozier. He recorded inaccurate coordinates and the island was not sighted again until 1808, when the British whaler captain James Lindsay named it Lindsay Island.[3] The first claim of landing, although disputed, was by Benjamin Morrell. In 1825, the island was claimed for the British Crown by George Norris, who named it Liverpool Island. He also reported Thompson Island as nearby, although this was later shown to be a phantom island. The first Norvegia expedition landed on the island in 1927 and claimed it for Norway. After a dispute with the United Kingdom, it was declared a Norwegian dependency in 1930. It became a nature reserve in 1971.

i told people to watch iran!

And STILL...no aftershocks

Since I lurk here a bit thought I would post here...
Thread: New Zealand getting nailed by storm

Hey, thanks for the help. I was looking to filter it down to just California quakes.
I did find this;

Long...it's been a long one! So glad to be home relaxing finally. How about yourself?

Three portable seismographs will be installed in the Challis area in central Idaho to help experts better understand a recent flurry of earthquakes. Harley Benz, scientist in charge of the U.S. Geological Survey’s National Earthquake Information Center, said scientists decided Tuesday to put in the devices. One of them should be in place by Wednesday and two more within a week to record future earthquakes. “It certainly has gotten the attention of the state and our regional partners,” Benz said. “So what we’re trying to do is put in an array to get a better feel for the location of the events and the depths and the rate of activity.” The U.S. Geological Survey has recorded a sequence of quakes rumbling the area, the largest of them being a 4.1-magnitude quake on Thursday, a 4.9 quake on Sunday and a 4.4 on Monday. Smaller quakes have also been recorded, including five on Monday ranging from 2.5 to 3.3 in magnitude. Three of the quakes took place within a 40-minute span starting about 9:12 p.m. Monday. The quakes have ranged from about 6 to 15 miles northwest of Challis in lightly populated Custer County. “People are asking: ‘Is this going to lead to a bigger earthquake?’” said Benz, based in Golden, Colo. “And the answer is we simply don’t know.” He noted the earthquakes are in the same region as Idaho’s largest recorded quake, a 6.9-magnitude in 1983 near Borah Peak, Idaho’s tallest peak at 12,667 feet. Linda Lumpkin, a dispatcher for the Custer County Sheriff’s Office in Challis, said she personally is expecting another big one, but residents in general have become accustomed to the recent temblors.

“At this point, everybody is not getting real shook up about anything because we’re getting them almost every day,” she said. Benz said the three portable seismographs will provide real-time information and, using triangulation, allow scientists to pinpoint the locations of the earthquakes, including depth, should they continue. They’ll also be able to record smaller quakes, down to about a 1.0 magnitude. He said the nearest seismograph in place now is about 71 miles away in Montana, meaning earthquake locations in the Challis area could be off by 4 miles. Depths are also difficult to plot accurately. By putting three stations within 6 to 12 miles, the error could be reduced to about half a mile, he said. “We can find out where they are actually occurring and at what depth,” Benz said. “One station will significantly help, and three will do better.” The plan is to put them in an L shape, he said. “Ideally, you would like them to be in as quiet a spot as possible,” Benz said. “The other problem with this part of the world is there is lots of snow. Finding sites is not going to be straightforward.” The seismographs will be installed by a field engineer from the University of Utah, he said. The engineer has two of the portable seismographs, and the U.S. Geological Survey is sending a third. Idaho’s quakes, Benz said, are caused by broad-scale deformation of the Western United States as a result of plate tectonics. The three portable seismographs could help scientists identify which fault is currently active, if the quakes continue.

Same shit different day lol it was nice out today
