“Earthquakes are way up. “

Not really no.

http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eqarchives/year/eqstats.php

2013 is in line with those stats, 16 7.0-8.0 so far, 2 8+

Didn’t see you pinged to this.
Interesting, probably has happened before but since we didn’t have realtime worldwide communications, it probably went unnoticed.

Sure. Number of 5.0 to 6.0 quakes for 2013 puts it on track to be the lowest number for more than 12 years.

When that things blows, we go way backwards in time, and 0bummerCare isn't going to help out all that much. Look at the Mt St Helens ash plume comparison. Too bad so many blue cities/states will be unaffected.

For one thing, I've become a little concerned with the accuracy of recent USGS data. I actually stopped bothering to keep tract last year because of the number of times the initial magnitude lowered, especially around the Mag 5 level.

As I suggested, look at 5+, NOT mag 5 - 6...

Your chart looks totally phony.

Look at the actual statistics from the USGS website:

http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eqarchives/year/eqstats.php

The real stats show a big drop in the number of earthquakes for 2012 compared to prior years, while your chart shows an upward spike.

2013 is mostly done, but so far 2013 has less than half the number of 5.0+ quakes as 2011.

You may be closer to the truth than you think :)

Leonard Nemoy predicted this.

From inside the Volcano. The man is a genius.

Wouldn't surprise me. There were some additional discrepancies that cropped up causing me to wonder about the accuracy of recent USGS data. I have the original (raw) USGS data stored, so I could really care less what you think. ;-)

Not sure but he sure would be lucky since there is no government on that newbie island. So he is practicing free enterprise =)

Guess you hadn’t considered the possibility you made a mistake?

Your 2012 number is off by almost 1000.

I have a daughter working at a school for deaf in a third world country. The school is in proximity to a volcano. Keep her in prayer please?

Looking at the ash path for Yellowstone it is safe to say it would be a game changer in more ways than one.

You’ve got it! This really isn’t all that unusual.
