Historic Seismicity
Wow. That’s alot of activity!
any word on possible tsunami’s?
I don’t know that it’s big enough to cause a tsunami?
Yes, it sure is.
It has been kinda quiet lately so maybe
it's Earth's way of catching up.
Take a look at the California EQ maps by the USGS.
Looks like alot but some are 0.5 or less.
No, this one wouldn't generate a tsunami.

Is this 4 or 5 of 6.2 or better in the last 3 days?
From July 31, 2007, there are four earthquakes 6.1 magnitude and over listed on the current USGS list. However, I believe that one 6.2 earthquake was just downgraded by the USGS to something around 5.5.
That is a dangerous observation. It seems that seismic activity is picking up.
Just checking in before lights out.
Thanks 4 da ping BD476.
Be well.
cool
Gee we really need Stratigist the Geolist to sort all this out.
He seems to be a leading expert in the USGS field, more so than any scientist up here in the PNW.
Darn to bad he does not give his opinion.
Lijahbubb (sic) is really good and nice too.
