thanks love it....

and so it begins....

Small, but noteworthy. Would be a pop up. Not on EMSC.

Love it! And that reminds me of these guys. Similar gypsy-type music but amped up. Excellent band live.

Good eye, girl

Here's the 6.0 Costa Rica quake on the Georgia Tech site

I love a strong, loud, tight horn section that's right in your face. Oh man, so good. I also love a flute! Not my favorite wind instrument, but it can get down with the best of 'em with the right player. There would be no Jethro Tull without a flute, that's for dang sure. I own a couple of JT albums (actual vinyl). Good with coffee on a Sunday morning.

Surprising that it was "weakly felt" considering the epicenter was on land and near populated areas. That said, good thing it didn't result in injuries/deaths (if that is the case).

Ok, I'm off to funk it up (2 openers, music starts early). Check y'all on the flip side!

I was only looking for the smaller magnitude ones on USGS because I was looking for that Mississippi quake you posted. USGS isn't showing it yet.

Now that is definitely different (and amped up!). Have fun tonight KI!

The 'weakly felt' got revised to 'strong shaking' during all of the downgrade/upgrade changes.

Magnitude 5.0

A good video for this thread. It has volcanoes, earthquakes and a GSM-induced ice age.

That makes sense based on the location. Prayers for those folks down there.

New Madrid Seismic Zone (past 7 days) [link to earthquake.usgs.gov (secure)]

Same as above but with the U.S. Hazard option checked [link to earthquake.usgs.gov (secure)]

All of them are within the red

Was just reading John Casey's book "Upheaval" where he speaks at length on NMSZ. The next big one in that region won't be like 1811-12. Major oil, natural gas and shipping arteries will be thrown into chaos. And this area, in particular, follows the 206-year GSM cycle - so it could literally be any day now.

My eq app on my phone has apparently shit the bed... I haven't gotten alerts for any of these quakes today.


Time to try another...
