Magnitude 6.7 earthquake strikes off Australia's Macquarie Island

Considering the size of the big quakes lately, this one is fairly small. like a hiccup.

thanks for the post

BUMP :)

Macquarie's a strange place. In fact, all those Australian research stations are odd. I've been watching their videos for nearly a full year now. They seem...odd.

This is Macquarie...the video shows a jerked shot. I was told it was wind.

This is Mawson. Again, watch the buildings...it's a jerked shot. Wind? Well, perhaps. But watch it a few times and see if you notice the herky-jerky (Camp Mawson).

Watch the herky-jerky in this video (Camp Casey):

Did you see the snowline behind the red building? As the herky-jerky starts, the snow disappears, then reappears, then disappears again.

This one is interesting (Camp Davis). There's a big piece of floating ice just to the left of the shore of the landmass. It moves back and forth, then disappears. The lighting is herky-jerky.

These camps aren't close to each other, and their weather patterns can be quite distinct, yet each experiences the herky-jerky in pretty much the same manner.

There's been alot of 5+mag earthquakes in the last couple of weeks

What I see in the videos is not so much as Herky Jerky but a pulse in visable light , Not at all unlike a strobe light.

wierd

The whole globe is herky jerky from the quake.

That happens three or four times a year so what's the big deal?

There was a strong earthquake in the Macquarie Island area not long before the big Tsunami in Indonesia - but I think it was stronger than 6.7. Both locations are on opposite edges of the same tectonic plate.

If you don't know what the big deal is, I'm not going to tell you.

Watch David Letterman!
