It is a pretty good site. World map of all events. Lots of stuff happening.

Damn, this is turning into an “interesting” weekend (using the chinese term).

Thanks for the tip. I’m a bit more inclined to help them now.

Thanks for the update.

I salute your generous impulse. I suggest waiting until we learn the extent of the damage. I bet that assessment has just begun.

The good news that map (at least) isn’t showing any Yellowstone activity. You know I can chuck a spud from my house and hit that Caldera. Well almost :-))

Hi Fred,

Have you been feeling the quakes and tremors since the 26th?

Has it been windy a lot?

Jeffers, Ping. You wanted to know about the wind, and bigheadfred lives there......

My husband and I visited there a couple of times in the early 80’s and have some incredible stories and memories. We still have friends there. I hope they will be all right.

I noticed that. It has slowed greatly.

What caught my eye was the rolling harmonics that came in after the Indonesia hit.

Another 7.5 INDONESIA

Just now!

I did not realize ‘interesting’ was a Chinese term. In Minnesota, the word is used to describe anything weird or strange in politese. Yes. That is Minnesotan, as well.

Babo?

Yup.

Rocking and rollin over there today!

This almost sounds like it’s winding up to do something really big!

[fanfan]

I did not realize ‘interesting’ was a Chinese term.

It is rumoured to be an ancient Chinese curse....."May you have an interesting life."

;-)

[fanfan]

Almost sounds?

LOL, yeah, it sure does.

Dual large earthquakes (within minutes or weeks) are not unknown, in the same area.

[djf]

The answer to your question on the other thread is yes, you can see events that large on seismos here.
The event gets picked up at 13:04

Then you see the rolling waves. The earth is ringing like a bell.

[djf]

I would be a fool to argue that. What is the historical record there?
