Ok..since I have unfrozen Seismology I will just post scientific data for those who want in-depth information. This will be
reserved for first-person sensory reports. If the ground starts to buckle and undulate, and a good-looking turn-on is not
involved, I want to hear about it, please! (doing EarthQuake dances in preparation for the fun about to happen here)

We have just had 2 earth quakes on Kilauea: 3.6 and 4.5 magnitude.
No tsunami was generated, and I am disappointed that I missed feeling it. I was sitting here and noticed nothing. Hmmm... More usually occur and the pattern of the eruption usually changes when we get EQ's as strong as 4.5.

No excitement to report before I close down. No further earthquakes. I do not know the status of the eruption, which will likely change. I will find out in the morning when the first air tour flights check things out. It is possible that the current episode will stop and a new one commence in a few days. It just depends on what has happened to the structurs of the internal plumbing. More news in the morning, Hawaiian time. Aloha! and Hugs!

I always feel a little cheated when there is one I don't feel - that is, until a real bone rattler. Then, after I have anguished through whether it is ever going to stop shaking, and whether the ground is going to open up and swallow me, I promise myself never to go through another one. Then, after a while, the curious little kid in me starts to surface again... a vicious circle. Thanks for the good thoughts, though. Did you ever experience an earthquake, Ginny?

No, not yet. There have been some small tremors around here (one was centered in Littleton a couple of months ago), but I haven't felt them. I'm not complaining! I love thunder and lightning, and I don't mind hurricanes and blizzards so much (as long as I don't have to shovel or deal with floods), but I don't know if I could ever get used to earthquakes.
Supposedly the Boston area is due for a big quake, which would be a disaster since most construction around here wasn't built to withstand earthquakes.

I can't remember what the reasoning was, but if I find out, I will be sure to post it here! From your plate pictures, we don't seem to be on the fault line between two plates, but something did create all the mountains around here. (The White Mountains in NH are part of the Appalachian chain; not sure about the Green Mountains in VT. Actually, don't the Appalachians extend up to Maine?)

Minor earthquake reported
ASSOCIATED PRESS
(This Associated Press story was taken from the MetroWest Daily News.)
LITTLETON -- A small earthquake shook a large area of central Massachusetts this morning, scientists reported.
The brief tremor was felt shortly after 6 a.m., from Littleton and Acton to as far west as Worcester.
John Ebel, director Boston College's Weston Observatory, confirmed that a minor quake did take place, and said scientists were in the process of analyzing data on the seismic activity.
Police dispatchers in various towns reported hearing what they thought felt like an explosion. Others described it as sounding like a large truck, or low-flying jet. There were no reports of injuries, damage or power outages.

Earthquake wakes residents Wednesday
BOXBOROUGH - Residents of Boxborough and Littleton and surrounding towns got a rude awakening on Wednesday morning when an earthquake measuring 2.9 on the Richter scale was felt for a few seconds at about 6:09 a.m. There were no reports of damage although many reported hearing what sounded like an explosion. The force was enough to rattle dishes and startle pets. It lasted just a few seconds.
Police departments in Boxborough, Littleton, Maynard and Westford received many calls from startled residents who thought perhaps there had been an explosion nearby.
The strength of the quake was measured at the Weston Observatory. It was initially reported that it measured 2.4 but that was later upgraded to 2.9.
There is a fault line that centers in the Boxborough-Littleton area, and temblors are quite frequent, having been registered from time to time. No after-shocks were reported.

Oh heavens, I cannot feel earthquakes below about 3.5 magnitude. Those were faint echoes of a much stronger one long ago. The Berkshires, Poconos, White mountains, Adirondaks and the rest are all foothills of the Appalachians. Mt Katahdin in Maine is the northern terminus and Mt Oglethorpe in the Carolinas is the southern terminus of that great mountain chain. Interesting about the little Boston quakes. We have several hundred of the little ones a day and no one bothers about them.

G'morning, all. Any new EQ's in your area of the wiggly planet? All's quiet here. I don't think you can feel a 2.9 quake unless the situations are precisely right - origin close to you and to the surface. Mostly, you hear little things like dishes and windows rattling.

Gi, the Mediterranean end of the Iberian Peninsula is a plate boundary. I think there is no way to avoid earthquakes in Portugal. The good news is that it is most likely a sidways motion on plate edges - the least destructive (ask those living near the San Andreas fault!)

I remember when I was little my father telling me that the Appalachians were once as high as the Andes. The Appalachians are not just an eroded mountain range, they also consist of an eroded plateau to the west. You can tell this by the rock strata. In the eastern edge of the Appalachians the rock strata is angled indicating folding upward. To the western side the strata is horizontal, indicating an ancient plateau.
About the Andes, the largest river in the world (largest not longest) the Amazon once flowed from east to west. The Andes were pushed up along the western edge of South America, (they're still growing), causing the river to blocked from its outlet. The Amazon became an inland sea until it broke through to the Atlantic.

Great stuff, Cheryl! Thanks for posting that. I have not studied South American geology and that was new to me. I know the Appalachians are just the remnants of very old mountains, indeed. Btw, Mauna Loa is such a large landmass that it could hold the Applachians and several other mountain chains, as well. And that is just one mountain on this island!

I think the water and the situation of that fault is what keeps the stresses from building up. Something is lubricating it and I think it is in a direction in which the current plate movement is not active. That is good news all round. May it remain thus! However, you are wise about the insurance. We have it here, as well, though most of my damage will be to picture windows. The wall and garage builder living here reinforced all load=bearing members of the house and garage when he put on the hurricane "tie-down" straps which are supposed to keep the roof on the house during a hurricane.

A question about the plate boundary at Mediterranean end of the Iberian Peninsula. At one time the Mediterranean was a dry wasteland, something like Death Valley only larger. Then there was a massive fracture in the vacinity of Gibralter, causing the Atlantic to come flooding in on the desert. Could that have been the result of an earthquake on that fault? It would have been the most enormous waterfall. One I wouldn't have wanted to be anywhere near.

It was on our teletext in Oz. They are usually fairly accurate re - earthquakes cause I think they are quite interested. What they did say there was some damage in villages outside Rome - but none it seems in Rome itself - although the Pope was apologising yesterday for 2000 years of mistakes - perhaps that was enough to cause an earthquake - or should that go on geo-magnatism!

I've just been asked/told that we move to California. I am upset because it means more long-term commitment to something I do not want to do with a person who is capricious enough to leave me there and move on and I'd be stuck without home or friends...I think he is crazy!

Hundreds feared dead after huge undersea earthquake hits island
The death toll from a massive undersea earthquake which hit the Indonesian island of Sumatra yesterday is expected to run into hundreds.
The quake, measuring 7.9 on the Richter scale, struck at night, throwing people from their beds, flattening villages and leaving many thousands homeless across six provinces. Hundreds of aftershocks added to the damage and panic.
The true scale of the disaster was slow to emerge because the quake destroyed communications in the worst-affected region of Bengkulu, a province of about 1.2 million people near the epicentre.
Doctors in the provincial capital of Bengkulu town decided to treat casualties in a car park, fearing that aftershocks might bring down the state hospital.
They were said to have lost a number of colleagues in the disaster and had run out of blood supplies and anaesthetic due to the sheer number of casualties.
"Patients being operated on without anaesthetic could be heard screaming," said the state news agency Antara.
Electricity and water supplies had been cut and most telephone lines were down. Rescuers frantically dug through the rubble of ruined buildings in search of bodies and trapped survivors.
"It was very panicky. People were running everywhere and screaming after the quake hit us," said one resident.
Bengkulu airport was closed because of damage to communications equipment and to the passenger terminal. Some roads to the city were said to be blocked by landslides. "Many houses have collapsed and the walls on bigger buildings have been fractured," said one survivor.
"I helped to save three of my neighbours who I found had been trapped beneath the rubble of their homes."
There were reports that the island of Enggano, which is about 125 miles from Bengkulu town and has a population of around 1,500, had also been badly hit.
"About 90 per cent of houses on the island are damaged," said health department chief Ali Muchtar.
A total of 60 people were confirmed dead last night and almost 500 were reported to have been injured, but the toll was expected to soar dramatically once rescue teams reach the rural areas.
By comparison, last year's Turkish earthquake, in which 17,000 people died, was much less powerful, at 7.4 on the Richter scale. In addition, as a developing country, Indon-esia's emergency services are badly trained and very poorly equipped.
Seismologists said that the tremor was centred 20 miles beneath the Indian Ocean - quite near the surface in geological terms - some 400 miles north-west of the Indonesian capital Jakarta.
The quake was felt across much of the western half of the Indonesian archipelago, including Jakarta and neighbouring Singapore, where many residents fled their homes as the tremor rattled high-rise buildings.
More than 260 smaller tremors were recorded through the day, frightening residents and hampering rescuers. "The quake went on for many minutes," said Bengkulu police sergeant Hariyono. "Dozens of homes have been destroyed and almost all houses and buildings in the city seem to have been damaged. People are terrified every time they feel aftershocks."
Navy spokesman Rear Marshall Ontowiryo said two warships carrying food and medical supplies had been dispatched to the area.
Up to 20 rescue workers from Britain's disaster relief team RAPID UK were on stand-by after the group offered to help the Indonesian authorities.Spokesman Stefan Hopkins said RAPID UK, which helped after last year's earthquakes in Turkey, could use sniffer dogs and heat-seeking equipment to find survivors.

It is not unusual that aftershocks are as strong or stronger than the initial quake. That is what is frightening. The first shake loosens everything. The later ones make what is loose crumble, fall down and bury the unwary who remain inside. That is why no one will go back home after a strong one! Just as the 4 or so wave in a Tsunami does the most damage, so it is with earth quakes.

Strong Quake Rocks Taiwan
TAIPEI (Reuters) - An earthquake rocked Taiwan early on Sunday, injuring
more than 10 people, but there were no immediate reports of major damage,
seismologists and media said.
Semiconductor makers in northern Hsinchu Science Park, one of the world's
top microchip production bases and a motor of Taiwan's export economy,
were unaffected, the state-funded Central News Agency (CNA) said.
The Central Weather Bureau said the quake, registering 6.7 on the Richter
scale, occurred at 2:23 a.m. and was felt throughout the island.
It was centered 29 miles north of the sparsely populated Jade Mountain in
central Taiwan.
Operations at Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co and United
Microelectronics Corp were normal as there were no power outages at the
Hsinchu Science Park Taiwan's Silicon Valley, CNA said.
A killer quake last September caused widespread power outages islandwide,
disrupting production at TSMC, Taiwan's leading made-to-order foundry
chipmaker.
On Sunday, six aftershocks measuring between 4.3 and 5.1 on the Richter
scale jolted the island in the next two hours, the weather bureau said.
More than 10 people were rushed to hospital after either suffering bone
fractures or being cut by broken glass when they fled their homes in Puli in
the central county of Nantou, independent cable broadcaster TVBS said.
Three people were injured by falling rocks near Puli, CNA said.
Many residents in the area were afraid to return to their homes and wandered
in the streets, TVBS said.
One person jumped from his second-floor home in central Taiwan and was
slightly injured, the broadcaster said.
Puli, close to the epicenter of the devastating September 21 earthquake
measuring 7.6 on the Richter scale, suffered outages.
Last year's killer quake and a series of strong aftershocks killed 2,400 people
and wrecked 52,000 buildings on the island.
Taiwan lies on a seismically active stretch of the Pacific basin and
earthquakes occur frequently.

Iceland sits astride the Mid-Atlantic Rift which is where the ocean is spreading as the Pacific gets smaller. As the crust spreads and ruptures new magma rises and eventually surfaces into a new island - which is Surtsey's story. The mid-aisan problem is a puzzle since no known fractures exist there. You can bet the latest technology and the brightest grad students are rushing there to figure out what is happening. I'll let you know as soon I hear more.

Cocos Islands being Australian is a little more explicit, although I find it hard to fathom. (excuse pun). How can a 7.2 earthquake not cause any damage - the police apparently reported it was a very mild quake. Was it very deep seated or what. Also is it strange to have such a quake in the Indian Ocean - I don't think I have noticed such a one before.

I went through a 6.8 and 7.2 magnitude. The larger one did less damage because the epicenter was in the mantle beneatth 22,000 ft of water and the crustal plate. We all shook and glassware fell off the shelves but no buildings fell down. The 6.8 one was shallower and was a nightmare to ride out!

Earthquake Shakes Southwest Iceland
REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) - Many Icelanders awoke with a jolt Wednesday as an
earthquake shook the southwestern part of the island, knocking down a dozen houses but
causing no serious injuries.
The Meteorological Institute said the temblor had a magnitude of 6.6 and struck at 12:52
a.m. local time. The epicenter was close to Hestfjall, in the Grimsnes area of south Iceland.
The quake apparently followed an earthquake of similar magnitude on Saturday, which
caused some electrical and water outages.
A bridge over the Thjorsa was temporarily closed for
inspection but reopened Wednesday morning.
Hot water pipes broke between the town of Selfoss and the
villages of Eyrarbakki and Stokkseyri. Civil Defense officials
said about a dozen houses were destroyed and twice as
many seriously damaged in the Grimsnes area, a popular
place for summer cottages.
The U.S. Geological Survey in Washington also registered the magnitude at 6.6, and said
the quake occurred 6.2 miles below ground.
Before the past two quakes, the last event of that size in Iceland took place in 1910.
Iceland, where there are many active volcanoes, frequently experiences minor
earthquakes.

Apoyo Volcano, Nicaragua
******************************
Destructive Earthquake at Laguna de Apoyo, Nicaragua
---------------------------------------------------------------
Today, 6 of July, at 1:30 PM local time (19:30 GMT) a magnitude 5.4
earthquake occurred near the northern rim of Laguna de Apoyo (Apoyo
volcano), about 32 km southeast of Managua, at 11.96 N 86.02 E, focal depth
less than 1 km.
The shock was felt widely in the Pacific part of Nicaragua, there are also
reports from the Atlanic region. The event was felt strong in Managua
(Intensidad Mercalli V-VI), very strong (VI) in the city of Masaya (5 km to
the epicenter) and was destructive in the vicinities of Laguna de Apoyo.
There the maximum intensity might have reached VII or VIII. Numerous
landslides occurred in the crater walls, surface faulting was observed,
trees and electricity lines broke, total and partial destruction of
houses and electricity lines occurred. The road to the village at the beach
of Laguna de Apoyo was interrupted by landslides.
About 70 people were injured and four children were killed due to
collapsing walls or roofs of their houses.
At Masaya volcano, at about 8 km from the epicenter, minor collapses of
the walls of Santiago crater occurred. No changes in the degassing activity
of the volcano were observed.
In Masaya, one of the mayor Nicaraguan towns, houses, walls and other
constructions were damaged.
Electricity and telephone networks were affected in the vicinities of
Laguna de Apoyo. The cellular telephon network had a mayor blackout after
the earthquake.
One minute before the earthquake a precursor occurred; after the main shock
a series of aftershocks was recorded by the Nicaraguan seismic network,
many of them beeing felt in Masaya and even Managua. This activity is still
going on.
Laguna de Apoyo is a volcanic crater of 8 km diameter which was formed by
large volcanic explosions several thousand years ago. No volcanic activity
is known in historical times. The recent seismic activity (hopefully) has
no volcanic background but is caused by mayor tectonic faults trending NNW
at the northern rim of the crater.
The earthquake was one of the strongest seismic events in the Nicaraguan
volcanic chain in the last decades. and is comparable with the Managua
earthquake 1972 (10,000 deaths), the earthquake of Rivas 1985 (minor
damages), and the earthquake in the Fonseca Bay 1999.
It is expected that aftershock activity continues in the next days and
weeks. INETER maintains a rather dense network of seismic stations in the
area between the cities of Managua, Masaya and Granada, one station is
situated in the epicenter area of the Apoyo earthquake.
There remain hazards from the aftershock activity, especially due to the
possibility of other landslides.
Government, Civil Defense, local Fire Departments and other organizations
were very active attempting first aid.
Local people are prepared to sleep outside their houses during the next
nights, many families left their homes, temporarily. Others, especially
children, were evacuated to Masaya or Granada city.

EARTHQUAKES-
August 29 2000- Indonesian Islands Jolted By Strong Quake-
A magnitude 6.8 quake jolted Indonesia's Maluku Islands at 10:00 PM
(22:00) on Tuesday. There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries
but seismologists in that area predicted that a tsunami would occur.
The quake was followed 33 minutes later by a magnitude 5.9 aftershock.
Seismologists reported that the quake was centered about 50 miles
west-southwest of the capital city of Ambon, and occurred 21 miles beneath the
earth's surface.
August 29 2000- Colombia Jolted By A Quake-
A magnitude 4.3 quake jolted the region of Columbia on Monday
afternoon, but there were no immediate reports of injuries or damage. The quake
occurred 19 miles beneath the earth's surface. Last year a magnitude
6.2 quake struck the same region and killed at least 1,230 people. Also,
left 250,000 homeless.

A magnitude 4.5 quake hit SE Australia just after 11:00 PM (22:00)
Tuesday night. The quake was centered near Boolarra South, about 105 miles
SE of the state capital of Melbourne. This quake was by far one of the
strongest quakes to ever hit Victoria mainly of the region of its

Earthquake Startles California's Wine Country
NAPA, Calif. (Reuters) - A medium-sized earthquake jolted
northern California's wine country on Sunday, causing at least
one serious injury and cutting power to thousands as windows
shattered, bottles crashed off store shelves and people were
shaken out of their beds.
``It felt like a bolt of lightning hit the house. ... It was
just crash, and everything kept on rolling,'' Napa Valley
resident Brian Murdoch told KCBS radio after the quake,
measuring magnitude 5.2, hit at about 1:36 a.m. (4:36 a.m.
EDT/0836 GMT) near Yountville, about 50 miles (80 km) north of
San Francisco.
The city of Napa declared a state of emergency to cope with
the aftermath of the quake, although officials said that the
temblor appeared to have left more shaken nerves than actual
physical destruction.
``It's a real shock and rude awakening for us,'' Napa Mayor
Ed Henderson said as he inspected downtown damage.
``I think we're over the worst part. It depends on the
aftershocks. They say it will take from three to seven days to
determine what the aftershocks (are) or if there will be any.
We're kind of gearing up for that.''
Napa County Emergency Services spokeswoman Mary Jean
McLaughlin said inspectors found lots of broken windows and a
few cracks in buildings but the area appeared to have escaped
relatively lightly.
``Overall, there is no major structural damage,'' she said.
''The damage seems to be inside homes, inside businesses, things
falling off walls. ... Having gone through the earthquake, it
was scary.''
BOY HIT BY FALLING OBJECTS
A young boy who was hit by falling objects during the
earthquake was taken to Children's Hospital Medical Centre in
Oakland, where he was reported to be in critical condition.
Area hospitals treated one man for a heart attack as well as
several dozen people for minor injuries after the quake.
The United States Geological Survey office in Menlo Park,
California, reported that the initial earthquake was followed
by at least two aftershocks, both under 2 magnitude.
Jonathan Franks, a spokesman for Pacific Gas and Electric
Co., said that a total of about 10,000 homes lost power
immediately after the earthquake, although by midmorning
service had been restored to most customers.
''We've got fewer than 500 left without power, and we're
guess-timating they should be hooked up by noon,'' Franks said.
In the Napa Valley area, home to many of California's most
famous wineries, residents reported being shaken awake by the
earthquake, which was felt as far south as San Francisco.
``I woke up and jumped out of bed and screamed,'' one woman
told a reporter. ``I looked out my window and just (saw) blue
flashes of light all over the place.''
Employees at supermarkets were faced with aisles full of
smashed bottles and toppled cans, while many local businesses
reported the windows had shattered in the earthquake.
``It wasn't very long ... but it was really like jerky and
shaky. It was crazy. Look at the aisles,'' Frankie Herkins said
outside one supermarket.
``I went to my mom's house, which was across town, and all
her dishes were destroyed,'' another resident, Brian Snook, told
a television reporter outside the store. ``I came here. It's
destroyed. Wine bottles everywhere. We've got canned food
everywhere. It's just everything. Every aisle is destroyed.''
CLEANUP UNDER WAY
Pam Cody, a spokeswoman for the city of Napa, said the
cleanup was well under way, although the state of emergency
would continue amid the threat of aftershocks.
``At daybreak, city assessment teams have begun to assess
and repair damage to public facilities. Currently, there are 10
main water leaks, and water has been shut off,'' Cody said,
adding that trash containers were being distributed throughout
the city to assist with the cleanup.
Henderson, who described the quake as one of the strongest
he had ever felt, credited early precautions with heading off
what could have been a bigger disaster.
``We've really been pushing the seismic retrofit in our
city, and I think this will encourage some of the people to
really come along and get on board,'' the mayor said.
While local residents nursed their bruises and surveyed the
damage, officials warned that more aftershocks were possible.
But USGS geologist Steve Walter said the quake struck on a
little-known fault and was unlikely to be a precursor of
anything much more violent.
``This is a fault that in the past has not produced any
earthquake larger than magnitude 3. It's unlikely that it could
produce something much larger than what we've seen already,'' Walter said.

Victims seek aid to rebuild
By Lisa Shafer
TIMES STAFF WRITER
A day after a 5.2-magnitude earthquake rocked the Napa Valley wine country, a 5-year-old boy remained hospitalized in critical condition and hundreds of property owners continued to report damage.
As residents return from Labor Day weekend travels, Napa officials said they expect to get as many as 2,500 reports of structural damage.
At a meeting scheduled for 3:30 p.m. today, City Council members are expected to approve a request that Gov. Gray Davis declare a state of emergency for the area. Federal relief also is expected to be sought to help with damage a county emergency official said likely would top $15 million.
City officials said Monday that 72 people were injured in Sunday's earthquake. Its epicenter was along an unnamed fault three miles southwest of Yountville and six miles northwest of Napa.
Most injuries were minor, but at least three people required hospitalization.
The most seriously injured was Nathan Schank, 5, who was hit by up to 300 pounds of rock and mortar from a fireplace as the boy slept in his family's living room. Nathan, listed in critical but stable condition Monday night, underwent about 31/2 hours of surgery Sunday after being transferred to Children's Hospital Oakland. He will require several more surgeries to treat multiple fractures to his right forearm and a fractured pelvis, hospital officials said.
"He is in really, really critical condition," said nursing supervisor Luanne Palmer, adding that the boy had lost a lot of blood.
A 37-year-old woman was in stable condition Monday at Queen Of The Valley Hospital in Napa. She injured her leg after being jolted as she tried to check on her children, a hospital spokeswoman said.
Another victim, a 41-year-old Napa man, was discharged from a local hospital Monday afternoon after treatment for head injuries.
Conditions improved Monday for many residents temporarily left homeless.
A Red Cross shelter set up Sunday morning at the First Baptist Church in Napa closed Monday, but Red Cross officials said the shelter could reopen if needed.
Forty-one people, mostly residents of a damaged apartment complex on South Freeway Drive, slept at the shelter Sunday, spokesman Jason Smith said. At least 34 others registered with the shelter but then found other accommodations, he said.
By Monday afternoon, building inspectors had assessed 250 to 300 buildings reported damaged in the quake, said Lisa Harper, a city spokeswoman. About 95 percent of the houses inspected had at least part of a chimney topple, and she said there also were numerous reports of water heaters separated from walls.
aAs residents return to damaged houses after Labor Day, and as more property owners realize the city will inspect the damage upon request, the tally of damaged buildings could reach 2,500, Harper said.
The only building to initially receive a red tag -- meaning no one should enter -- was Kragen Auto Parts on Trancas Street. But a store manager allowed several reporters into the building Monday morning to show what he said was strictly "cosmetic" damage -- broken windows and fallen ceiling tiles. Later, city officials said they'd replaced Kragen's red tag with a yellow one, allowing limited entry.
Neal O'Haire of the county's Office of Emergency Services said it is hard to gauge whether the area will receive federal disaster relief, though he is hopeful.
"It wasn't a major catastrophe," he said. "But this is a relatively rare natural disaster. It's also an election year and there are a lot of people who need help."
Napa County, he said, would seek help to pay for public expenses and damage to civic buildings, as well as loans or grants for families. Many of the Napa victims, he said, live in older homes and have low to moderate incomes.
"Even if they have earthquake insurance, the deductibles are so high," he said.
At least one Napa resident found a silver lining as he cleaned up his house and barber shop after the quake.
George Alvarez, 68, a former Richmond resident who moved to Napa 15 years ago, discovered the earthquake had jostled some of his long-lost treasures into view.
Alvarez took a break from his Labor Day cleanup at George's Barber Shop to show off a few of his finds -- an old electric razor and two stuffed animals he once planned to give his grandchildren.
"That's the good thing about this earthquake," said Alvarez.
Another discovery he made was that old bottles of hair spray in his three-chair shop might need to be pitched. After one old bottle fell during the earthquake, its contents ate a hole in the linoleum floor, he said sheepishly.
Alvarez promptly nailed a velvet John Wayne painting back on the shop's wall in the hours after the quake. He did not have as much success fixing his storefront windows.
The yellow pages on his barber shop counter opened to "glass." Alvarez said he heard he wouldn't be able to get anyone to replace the plywood for days.
"Everyone in town knows when I'm open," he said. "But I want to see them."
Still, Alvarez considered himself lucky that his property experienced only minor damages.. Sunday was his 51st wedding anniversary.
"It (the anniversary) came in with a big bang," he said. "I won't forget this one!"

Simulating Quakes Rocks The House
Sydney - September 5, 2000
http://www.spacedaily.com/news/earthquake-00b.html
- Australian scientists have built a suburban house and then destroyed it with simulated cyclones and earthquakes to make future homes safer and more affordable. The scene of the destruction was the whole building test laboratory at CSIRO Infrastructure Systems Engineering at Highett, Melbourne, Australia. This facility has established a unique capability to measure the complete load distribution in a light-frame building – for the first time in the world. "It is now possible to evaluate the performance of any component of a house and relate it to the way the rest of the structure behaves when subject to severe events such as earthquakes," says Dr Greg Foliente of CSIRO Infrastructure Systems Engineering. "We can tell just which bits fail and how they hold together under severe stress – even down to a single nail. "The entire house is fully supported by load cells (sensors) at its base with each unit capable of measuring loads in three principal directions to duplicate the forces created in a major natural
isaster. A desktop computer manages the entire instrumentation and data visualisation system. "This is the first full-scale test house in the world to be instrumented in this way, and to this extent. "The data collected will enable combined testing and modelling for the design of new and innovative products and to determine locations in houses where they can be most effective," he says.
Dr Foliente says that the unthinkable is now possible thanks to CSIRO's new combined capability for whole house testing and computer modelling. "The door will soon be open to a whole host of new building materials and products, undreamt of previously," he says. These could include: high performance composites for building such as carbon fibres, waste plastic or even straw
energy dissipation devices such as (metal) friction dampers on joists to allow movement viscoelastic dampers such as rubber shock absorbers between different materials such as wallboard and framing. "Houses in disaster prone areas may be built of plastic or have suspension a bit like a motor car to ride out most typhoons or earthquakes with less damage and reduced injury to occupants," says Dr Foliente. "The earthquake house will give a new dimension to slashing red tape for exporters trying to break into overseas markets. "Once CSIRO's house is experimentally validated to a given construction method it will be possible to demonstrate that a new structural building product can meet local building safety requirements, or that an Australian building product can meet another country's building code. "For example, our combined modelling and testing capability can be used to show how an Australian designed house can meet the earthquake safety requirements demanded by building codes in America or Japan," he says.
Compliance to overseas standards and codes can be demonstrated in months instead of years, removing a major export impediment to Australian companies. The earthquake house is the result of CSIRO's international reputation in whole building testing and computer modelling and the research arm of the US National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) that commissioned this CSIRO project. "We have a very productive collaboration with Japanese and American researchers in various aspects of the project and, in particular, North Carolina State University in the US is a close collaborator, assisting with our computer modelling and testing," says Dr Foliente.

Photo release: A stellar cocoon soon to hatch to a butterfly 31 Aug 2000
_____________________________________________________________________
Observations with the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope show a previously unknown
richness of detail in the intriguing proto-planetary nebula CRL 618. CRL 618 is a superb
example of the transition taking place in the later stages of the life of a star like the Sun
after it has lost most of its mass and before it emerges as a fully-fledged butterfly-like
planetary nebula. CRL 618 is evolving so rapidly that we can literally watch through Hubble's
eyes the hatching of one of these heavenly butterflies from its dusty cocoon. This snapshot of
cosmic evolution provides important clues for current theories of the origin and evolution of
planetary nebulae. Observations with the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope show a previously unknown

example of the transition taking place in the later stages of the life of a star like the Sun
after it has lost most of its mass and before it emerges as a fully-fledged butterfly-like
planetary nebula. CRL 618 is evolving so rapidly that we can literally watch through Hubble's
eyes the hatching of one of these heavenly butterflies from its dusty cocoon. This snapshot of
cosmic evolution provides important clues for current theories of the origin and evolution of
planetary nebulae.
The sharp vision of the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope gives an unprecedented clear view
of a fascinating and complex nebula undergoing rapid evolution. The nebula, CRL 618, is an
example of a special type of nebula called a proto-planetary nebula. A hidden central star similar
to our Sun illuminates a gaseous shell ejected a few hundred years ago by the star late in its life.
The star's light escapes at the poles of a thick, dark, equatorial lane of obscuring dust. Here the dust
lane is thinner so symmetric nebulous regions can form above and below the equatorial plane.
The Hubble observations show a nebula with complex jet-like features protruding at different angles
from the poles - telltale signs of massive outflows of material spewing out at incredible speeds.
Outflow speeds of more than 700,000 km/h have been measured in earlier observations. Smoke-ring
features are seen in the jets, which may arise from powerful shocks generated as gas is ejected out at
irregular intervals and pushes out into the surroundings.
From cocoon to butterfly
Proto-planetary nebulae represent the transition phase between the last stages of a red giant star's
life and the later planetary nebula phase where most of the star's mass has been ejected.
Stars, like the Sun, spend most of their life quietly converting hydrogen into helium. However, when
the hydrogen in the core is exhausted, they start a short phase of much more rapid evolution. They
then grow in size and brightness, become cooler red giants and start to eject large amounts of gas
and dust as a slow stellar wind.
When the star has lost most of its mass, it heats up again and brightens so that the ejected material
begins to glow. At the same time, a much faster wind starts to sweep through and clear out the
cocoon of obscuring material and so a butterfly-like planetary nebula is born.
Snapshots of the cosmic evolution
CRL 618 is one such object in transition from a highly evolved giant star to the planetary nebula
phase. The proto-planetary nebula phase is thought to take between a few hundred years and a
thousand years. This, astronomically speaking, rapid evolution makes CRL 618 one of the very few
astronomical objects where evolutionary changes have been observed directly over the last twenty
years and where direct observations of cosmic evolution are possible.
Testing theories
Proto-planetary nebulae are excellent objects on which to test theories of the origin and evolution
of planetary nebulae. However the enigmatic structure of this nebula remains a puzzle to
astronomers and challenges their theories. This Hubble image shows that as material is ejected
it forms complex shapes and symmetries, rather than the spherical structure simple theories predict.
Clearly some powerful processes must be at work.
Proto-planetary nebulae often show a bipolar symmetry. Current theories explain this symmetry by
invoking binary stars that are rotating around each other, maybe in connection with planetary systems
and strong magnetic fields, and that these processes then shape the powerful symmetric jets of
ejected gas. Despite being able to observe objects like CRL 618 over periods spanning human
generations, and despite its, in a cosmic context, fast changes, we are essentially still observing
a snapshot in cosmic time. Alexander Tielens from the Kapteyn Astronomical Institute in the
Netherlands, who has studied the nebula with ground-based telescopes, explains: "We speculate
that the protruding jets observed in the Hubble image might be the cause of the more intricate
structure seen in more evolved planetary nebulae. Maybe the jets are rotating, or precessing about
the central star and 'draw' structures in the gas. The star seems to be using these jets to carve out the
butterfly-like structures from its cocoon, which are so prominent during the later planetary nebula
phase. If so, we might see pieces of the larger puzzle coming together, greatly helped by Hubble's
high resolution."

EARTHQUAKES-
Sept 11 2000- Taiwan Jolted By Three Aftershocks-
A strong quake that caused landslides and minor damage in east-central
Taiwan over the weekend was followed by three moderate quakes-which was
reported Monday. The first aftershock, at magnitude 4.4, struck 11
miles NW of Hsilin late Sunday. On Monday, the same area was hit again in
the morning by a magnitude 4.0 quake, followed by a magnitude 4.9 quake
later that day.
Sept 11 2000- Japan's Island Jolted By Quake-
An earthquake preliminary magnitude of 5.2 struck a chain of volcanic
islands off Tokyo on Monday, but there were no reports of damage or
injuries. The quake was centered near the Izu island chain and occurred 6
miles beneath the seabed. Less powerful quakes occurred after the
magnitude 5.2 quake struck. Over 13,800 quakes (number of quakes felt by
humans) have occurred since Mt. Oyama became active on June 26.
Sept 13 2000- NW Colombia Jolted By Strong Quake-
A magnitude 5.9 quake struck the Andean mountains of NW Colombia at
5:54 AM (0554) local time on Tuesday. The quake was felt for hundreds of
miles, but no reports of damage or injuries were reported. The quake was
centered near the city of Los Santos in Santander Province, about 155
miles NE of the capital, Bogota. The quake was not destructive because
it occurred at the depth of 102 miles beneath the earth's surface.
Sept 13 2000- NW China Struck By Powerful Quake-
A magnitude 6.6 quake struck China's NW province of Qinghai at 8:28 AM
(0828) Beijing time on Tuesday, but there were no immediate reports of
damage or injuries. The quake was centered in a remote area between the
cities of Xinghai and Maduo. The quake was followed by three large
aftershocks, including a magnitude 5.2.

Earthquake hits Warwickshire, England
The biggest seismic event in Britain for 10 years ....
SEISMIC ALERT: WARWICK, WARWICKSHIRE 23 SEPTEMBER 2000 04:23 UTC 4.2 ML
http://www.gsrg.nmh.ac.uk/alert_info.htm
BGS have received many reports, from the Police, the media, the Emergency Planning Officer and residents in Cheadle (85 km to the north), Gloucester (65 km to the south), Peterborough (95 km to the east), Birmingham, Coventry, Warwick, Rugby, and Leamington Spa, of a felt event at 04:25 UTC this morning (23 September 2000). Felt reports describe "we were alarmed", "the bed moved", "the whole house shook", "we were woken from sleep" and "the whole building trembled". The BGS rapid-access networks detected an event at 04:23 UTC.
The following preliminary information is available for this earthquake:
DATE : 23 September 2000
ORIGIN TIME : 04:23 45.8sUTC
LAT/LONG : 52.28o North / 1.61o West
GRID REF : 426.5 kmE / 265.0 kmN
DEPTH : 13.1 km
MAGNITUDE : 4.2 ML
INTENSITY : 5+
LOCALITY : Warwick, Warwickshire
Historically, a similar earthquake occurred near Tewksbury, some 50 km to the south west with a magnitude of 4.1 in 1768. More recently, a magnitude 3.0 earthquake was felt at Stratford-upon-Avon in May 1994, 17 km to the south west. The largest earthquake within 100 km occurred at Bishops Castle near the Welsh border in April 1990, with a magnitude of 5.1 (almost 10 times the ground movement and 30 times the energy of the Warwick earthquake). It was felt over the whole of Wales, most of England and into Ireland and Scotland

I am all curiosity... Have you ever felt an earthquake??? In Britain?
I am glad you posted the article in the other EQ topic. It reminded me it was there (actually I froze it by mistake - still do no know how - and got this one going before I figured out how to unfreeze it. I will use the other one for the long posts like the articles and this one for current updates. Our next big one will have all of the discussion and what is being done and how we are coping on Seimology topic 9... Hope it is far away in time. The same goes for the ones which hit anywhere in the world where long, ongoing news items update conditions. This is the quick-fix topic...the other is the long term one.
Or not... There are no hard and fast rules in Geo... just like any other place on Spring!

As yet I have never felt an earthquake ...in Britain or elsewhere .....
This last earthquake was of a magnitude that many people in Warwickshire and the surrounding counties not only felt it but were concerned enough to bombard the media about it .....
Thanks for clarifying about the Geo topics, Marcia, I'm not always sure where things go ...so feel free to move things if they go in the wrong place ....

ALPINE FAULT 2 ( continued from above)
The next earthquake on the Alpine Fault is expected to start fires and
topple some buildings in Christchurch cause liquefaction, sever
infrastructure and break windows. In Blenheim it will start fires, ruptures
roads, cause seiches in water bodies, topple buildings and disrupt trains
(the main trunk line runs through Blenheim). The West Coast will have
services disrupted, rivers may change course, essential transport links
will break, seiches will affect water bodies. The following West Coast
towns among others are directly threatened by the fault.
They are: Haast, Fox, Franz Josef, Whataroa, Springs Junction and St
Arnaud.

Strong Quake Jolts Japan
A magnitude 5.1 earthquake rattled homes in
central and western Japan on Thursday at 1:18
p.m. local time, injuring a woman who was trapped
beneath fallen lockers in a ski resort restaurant in
the city of Shiozawa. The quake prompted officials
to halt bullet train services between Tokyo with
Niigata for more than two hours as a precautionary
measure. Two major highways in the region were
also temporarily shut down for inspection.
Shaking was widely felt throughout Niigata
Prefecture and in the neighboring prefectures of
Nagano, Gunma and Yamagata as well as the city
of Yokohama. Thursday's quake, which was
followed by a magnitude 3.8 aftershock less than
two hours later, was the second to hit the region
within two days.
Japan's Meteorological Agency reported that the
quake was centered in the central area of Niigata
Prefecture and occurred approximately 13 miles (20
km) beneath the earth's surface. The seismologists
reported that the tremor was not related to
Tuesday's quake.

Strong Earthquake Hits Alaska Coast
Reuters
Jan 10 2001 2:17PM
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (Reuters) - A strong earthquake of 6.7 magnitude
rattled coastal Alaska on Wednesday, authorities said, but no
significant damage or tidal wave threat was reported.
The quake struck at 7:03 a.m. local time (11:03 a.m. EST), centered
65 miles southwest of Kodiak Island, Alaska, or 330 miles southwest of
Anchorage, and was felt across the region, according to the National
Earthquake Information Center in Golden, Colorado.
The West Coast & Alaska Tsunami Warning Center in Palmer, Alaska,
measured the quake at 6.9, and pinpointed it at 20 miles below the
sea floor.
Residents reported homes shaking as far away as Anchorage as well as
in smaller coastal cities like Perryville and King Salmon.
"The ground trembled. I was still at home at the time and the blinds
rattled and windows shook," said Paul Smith, assistant to the chief of
police in Kodiak city, on the sparsely opulated island in the Gulf of
Alaska.
Alaska typically sees a half dozen quakes each year above magnitude
6. Wednesday's tremor was the strongest since a magnitude 7 in the
same waters off Kodiak in December 1999, said geophysicist Paul
Whitmore at the tsunami warning center.
"We did not feel it here, but there were reports in Anchorage and down
in Seward," Whitmore said.
The tsunami center issues tidal wave warnings after coastal quakes
measuring 7.1 or higher, Whitmore said. Wednesday's quake was
expected to produce aftershocks, most likely within 30 miles of the
epicenter.

Strong Quake Shakes South Mexico, Felt in Capital
MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - A strong earthquake measuring 7.6 in
magnitude on the Richter scale shuddered through southern Mexico on
Saturday, shaking buildings as far away as the capital, authorities and
witnesses said.
There were no immediate reports of deaths, damage or injuries as a
result of the earthquake, although magnitudes at such levels can be
destructive.
"The quake measured 7.6 on the Richter scale and happened at 11:34
a.m." a spokesman at the National Seismological Office told Reuters,
adding it looked to be centered close to the coast of the southwestern
state of Chiapas, bordering Guatemala.
Lamps and other furniture wobbled in offices and houses in Mexico
City, some 450 miles from Chiapas, one of Mexico's poorest states.
"We still have no report (on the impact of the earthquake)," a
spokesman from the government's National Civil Protection Agency told
Reuters.

Earthquake Shakes Central America - Sunday update
SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador (AP) - Weary rescuers battled blocked
roads and landslides to hunt for survivors Sunday while others prayed
for the dead after an earthquake that killed more than 200 people.
Body-hunting dogs, sent in from the United States and Mexico, roamed
across the ruins of the Las Colinas neighborhood, buried by a landslide
when the magnitude-7.6 quake hit late Saturday morning.
Centered off El Salvador's southern coast, the temblor was felt from
northern Panama to central Mexico - a distance of more than 1,100
miles.
``The situation is grave,'' said Mauricio Ferrer, chief of the National
Emergency Committee. The nation's main airport was closed and
hundreds of roads were blocked by landslides, slowing relief.
Pope John Paul II on Sunday urged international assistance for the
victims.
Mexico was first to send substantial help, with three planeloads. The
United States was quick behind, with rescue crews and supplies. Offers
of assistance came from Spain, Taiwan, Panama, even Guatemala,
which itself suffered damage - and two deaths - in the Saturday quake.
National Police and rescue groups said 150 bodies had been recovered
from Las Colinas alone by midday - but in the post-quake chaos,
rescuing took precedence over accurate counting.
The National Emergency Committee reported 193 dead, 350 injured
and 1,000 missing nationwide - though its toll of the dead from Las
Colinas was 60 less than the number of bodies from the same area
reported by the city morgue.
National Police counted 234 dead nationally, 2,000 injured, 4,692
houses destroyed and 16,148 damaged. Eighty-seven churches were
damaged as well - including the ruined Our Lady of Guadalupe Church
overlooking Las Colinas.
``We will need to do some crying today, and there will be time for that.
But we all need to understand how lucky we have been,'' the Rev. Peter
Danaher of Lindenhurt, N.J., told somber, red-eyed parishioners
worshipping before the rubble of brick and stone that had been their
church.
The only surviving wall behind Danaher displayed a cross in a
stained-glass window and an icon of the Virgin.
The sound of hymns drifted a few hundred yards down the ravine to
rescuers digging in Las Colinas - and Danaher used a portable speaker
to be heard over the intermittent, grinding roar of earthmovers and
generators from the disaster scene below.
``I am not worried about rebuilding the church. That can be done in
five months or five years, it doesn't matter,'' Danaher said. ``That is a
question of brick and concrete. Ours is a question of lives and human
spirit.''
Only three survivors had been recovered from Las Colinas, but
hundreds of people worked without sleep to hunt for more, many using
only shovels, even bare hands.
``It is very dangerous here, but we are going to keep hunting. We are
going to take them out alive or dead,'' said Juan Sanchez, a Green
Cross rescue worker.
``There are more than 300 houses that were destroyed, and this could
continue because there could be more landslides.''
Local seismologists had recorded more than 500 aftershocks by
midday Sunday - most imperceptible but some fierce. They helped to
shatter the nerves of people living beside wrecked houses.
Many residents of San Salvador slept in the streets or cars overnight,
tablecloths or curtains covering windows for privacy.
The quake also hit hard elsewhere in this nation of 6 million.
Mayor Jose Perez of Comasagua, 17 miles west of the capital, said 95
percent of the houses there were flattened or badly damaged. He said
four people died, though reports Saturday had put the number at 35.
In Santa Ana, about 35 miles northwest of the capital, the
116-year-old El Calvario church collapsed, killing at least one
employee. The Red Cross said 13 people died in nearby Sosonati.
Ten people died when a landslide buried a bus on the highway between
San Salvador and Zacatecoluca to the east.
The quake knocked out El Salvador's telephone service and electricity
for several hours.
A 1986 earthquake centered near San Salvador killed an estimated
1,500 people and injured 8,000.

Rescuers Dig for Quake Survivors Amid Shocks
SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador (Reuters) - A wave of aftershocks rattled
buildings and set off fresh landslides in El Salvador on Monday,
frustrating rescuers in their search for survivors of a quake that killed
more than 400 people and may have buried at least 1,200.
Despite an estimated 800 aftershocks registering up to 5 on the
Richter scale over the last three days, rescuers were buoyed after
digging out a 22-year-old man alive late Sunday even as aftershocks
in Central America's tiniest nation continued to send people scurrying
from buildings.
With rescuers passing him water and oxygen, Sergio Moreno survived
over 30 hours buried beneath debris and earth after Saturday's
7.6-magnitude quake, local media reported.
Thousands of people had been left homeless and the death toll was
expected to rise in this country of 6.2 million people that is slightly
smaller than the state of Massachusetts.
Witnesses, who flew by helicopter above some towns and villages that
rescuers had yet to reach, reported many homes buried under
mudslides. Authorities have not included the victims in these areas in
the official death toll.
President Francisco Flores has ordered 3,000 coffins from Colombia.
Most of the dead were pulled from the rubble in the suburb of Santa
Tecla about 12.5 miles (15 km) west of the capital San Salvador, where
a massive mudslide engulfed as many as 500 middle-class homes.
Raquel Barrera, 6 weeks pregnant, lost her son and husband-to-be
when an avalanche of mud and boulders buried their home.
"We were going to get married in a week or two," said Barrera, 33, a
pharmaceutical saleswoman, who was working away from the area when
the quake struck. "I'm pregnant and that gives me the will to live."
One 80-year-old woman died from hundreds of stings after swarms of
bees raged around hills after Saturday's quake attacking several
people, hospital officials said.
In Santa Tecla, hundreds of emergency workers and volunteers
struggled to shovel dirt from around collapsed homes in a sea of mud,
tree limbs and rubble. Dazed survivors milled around the mounds
where their homes once stood.
Concern for more victims centered on Comasagua, a town of roughly
18,000 people about 18 miles east of San Salvador in the nation's
main coffee-growing region, where a Reuters correspondent saw scores
of homes buried. Officials and survivors estimated at least 40 people
died in the area but said they had been unable to inspect the full
extent of the damage.
Flores said the government was intensifying efforts to ferry food,
blankets and tents to the homeless and clear roads of trees, earth and
buried vehicles.
Aid was rushed in from abroad, including U.S. helicopters, Spanish
sniffer dogs, Turkish and French medical personnel and search and
rescue equipment, and paramedics from around Latin America.
Funds were committed too, as Britain pledged $885,000 in emergency
aid, the European Commission promised an initial $1.88 million and
Japan $650,800. Italy extended $3.66 million in aid and said it would
send a team of medical experts and non-government organization
workers to assess the situation and see how best to allocate the funds.
FRAYED NERVES
Flores tried to calm nerves of citizens who frequently fled from
already-damaged buildings to escape falling debris during the
continuing aftershocks.
He assured citizens that the worst was over, quashing widespread
rumors that the aftershocks could trigger tsunami, or powerful tidal
waves, or volcanic activity.
"Another event of such great magnitude will not occur," Flores told
reporters early on Monday.
"We urge people to keep their doors open (to be able to leave
buildings during aftershocks) and to keep calm," he said.
Salvador's worst quake in at least a decade killed about 403 people,
injured 779 and left 1,200 missing, according to El Salvador's National
Emergency Committee.
Still, heeding the president's call that people return to work, traffic
increased gradually in the capital San Salvador, offices began to open
and some commercial flights left the airport. But it was anything but
business as usual.
"I'm having to run outside all the time. I've been doing this for three
days. It's terrible, it frays your nerves to think the roof could cave in at
any time," Claudia Monta Rosa, a waitress, told Reuters.
The quake, whose epicenter was about 65 miles (105 km) southeast of
the capital San Salvador, off the Pacific coast, affected areas
throughout the sugar- and coffee-growing nation.
SLEEPING IN STREETS
Throughout the nation, families slept overnight on streets, huddled
around makeshift fires, fearing fresh seismic activity would bring down
their homes.
With electricity cut off in many areas, soldiers and police patrolled
villages to prevent looting but there were occasional reports of
burglaries and some fighting between survivors.
Weeping callers flooded radio programs pleading for tents, food and
information about missing relatives.
The quake was felt across El Salvador, Guatemala, Nicaragua and
Honduras and as far north as Mexico City.
Guatemalan officials said four more bodies were discovered in that
country on Sunday, raising the death toll there to six. Other Central
American nations reported no fatalities.
In El Salvador, foreign visitors, who watched roads bounce and
buildings crumple during Saturday's quake, were scrambling to leave
after authorities reopened the airport late Sunday.
"The aftershocks wear you down physically and mentally. Every time
there's a tremor you don't know how long it will last," Jacques
Chartrain, who had been working for a Canadian telephone company in
Santa Tecla, told Reuters.
"I'll be leaving because basically I don't have an office now. There's
nothing left."
At least 1,000 people died in a 1986 earthquake in El Salvador and
witnesses said Saturday's quake rivaled that disaster in breadth and
violence.

Small Earthquake Rattles Manhattan
NEW YORK (AP) - Pictures rattled, bottles shook and residents as far
away as Newark, N.J., were rattled Wednesday morning by a magnitude
2.4 earthquake centered on the Upper East Side of Manhattan.
No injuries or damage were reported.
Dan Davis, a geology professor at Stony Brook University on Long
Island, said the earthquake began at 7:34 a.m. and lasted a few
seconds.
Jim Donaghy was shaving inside his Upper East Side apartment when
he felt a boom, followed by a slight shaking.
``You know those big construction Dumpsters they use when doing
work on a building? It sounded like someone dropped one of those,''
Donaghy said. ``That's what I thought it was.''
The rattling could be felt as far away as Newark, 13 miles to the south.
Davis, a geology professor at Stony Brook University on Long Island,
said earthquakes are not rare in the densely populated area. He said
the last significant quake was a 4.0 tremor in 1985 in a Westchester
County suburb, about 15 miles north of New York.
Standing in front of a building where residents reported ``significant
shaking,'' Mayor Rudolph Giuliani said there was no need for New
Yorkers to worry because even a more powerful earthquake, magnitude
4 or 5, ``would not have an impact on large buildings.''
Donaghy, who once experienced a magnitude 4.0 earthquake in Los
Angeles, said the incident left him curious but otherwise unfazed.
``This is New York,'' Donaghy said. ``You sort of get used to having a
lot of crazy things happening around you.''

220 die as Gujarat bears brunt of massive quake
NEW DELHI: A severe earthquake... rolled
across the entire Indian subcontinent on
Friday, rocking buildings in cities situated
as far apart as India's Chennai and Pakistan's
Karachi. ...the toll at 220 in Gujarat,
reported to have borne the brunt of the
quake...
The US Geological Survey, however, reported on
its website that the earthquake, the biggest
in 150 years, had a magnitude of 7.9.
Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, Delhi,
Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Tamil Nadu
and Pondicherry also felt the tremors...
The quake occurred at around 8.46 a.m.
and was epicentred around 20 km northeast
of Bhuj and 300 km southeast of Karachi, Pakistan's largest city of 14
million
people, Indian seismologists said. The
tremors lasted for around 30 seconds.
The epicentre of the quake was located at
23.6 latitude and 69.8 longitude.
Ahmedabad... 12 people had been killed
and scores injured as several buildings
collapsed, trapping many people. Power
and telephone services, too, had been
disrupted and phone lines in Bhuj had
snapped.
"Three buildings have fallen in our
locality... "All of them were four- and five-storey buildings ... there
must have
been a lot of people trapped...
A report from Rajkot said at least 19
students of an engineering college in Morbi
area were trapped as the structure collapsed.
Delhi... people felt dizzy from the swaying...
It was the same in Chennai and Pondicherry, further to the south...
Tremors were also felt in Vijayawada and surrounding areas.
In Rajasthan, the quake damaged some portions
of a historic fort and a haveli in Jaisalmer.
The back portion of historic Salam Singh Ki
Haveli cracked and fell on the roof of a neighbouring house.
Two slabs of the upper portion of `Hawa Pol' inside the historic Golden
Fort in Jaisalmer
also fell on the ground... tremors were
more intense in areas bordering the Arabian
Sea.
In Pakistan, a child and an adult died when
their two-storey home in Sindh city of
Hyderabad collapsed...
Reports from Kathmandu said the tremors
caused panic among residents in the
Nepalese Capital as they fled their homes...
"At first I felt dizzy and thought I was
not feeling well but when things began to
shake a lot for sometime I realized it was
an earthquake so I yelled at other family
members to go out to safety,"

India Quake
This fault was the Allah bund fault that caused the 1819 quake.
Shaking lasted between 20 seconds to 2 minutes so I'm making taking wild
guess, that the rupture was anywhere between 100 - 200 kilometers.
Heck the shaking was felt thoughout South Asia, as far as Chennai !!

The ASC also has some info, but we are still working on it as this event
develops.

Pair Rescued 10 Days After Quake
BHUJ, India (AP) - Soldiers searching for the bodies of earthquake
victims rescued a brother and sister Monday who survived 10 days
trapped on the second floor of their damaged building, living off cereal
and water.
``Everyone had given up hope of finding any survivors. This is a
miracle,'' said Bakshi Singh, inspector general of the Border Security
Force.
The rescue came even as demolition teams were clearing away the
ruins of collapsed apartment buildings in Bhuj and other towns of
India's western Gujarat state, and authorities turned to the
monumental task of finding shelter for some 600,000 people left
homeless by the Jan. 26 quake.
The two survivors were discovered by a team of soldiers who had gone
into Bhuj's Karsana neighborhood to help a resident search for a
relative's body. Once there, they met a policemen who said he had
heard faint cries for help, said Nazim Khan, a team member.
The soldiers checked the area and spotted a man waving through the
grill of a second-story window of his damaged apartment building. The
entrance was blocked by rubble, but 20 soldiers formed a human
pyramid to reach the second-floor window, where they discovered the
sister inside, said Khan.
``I was surprised to find someone alive. Then we climbed up, and
found there was another,'' Khan said.
The pair were uninjured, but weak. They had long ago finished all they
had in the kitchen - cereal - and had been drinking only water, Khan
said. The man could walk and talk, but his sister had to be taken out
by stretcher after soldiers cleared the building's entrance.
After a quick check up, the unidentified siblings were strong enough to
walk, doctors told the team. Khan said he believed they left the
hospital and went to relatives outside Bhuj.
The 7.7-magnitude earthquake, which was centered 12 miles from
Bhuj, has killed more than 17,000 people, and the toll is expected to
rise to 30,000 as more bodies are found when rubble is cleared, said
Gujarat's Home Minister Haren Pandya. The injured numbered 66,758,
Gujarat state officials said.
The dead have been cleared from all but three of 400 villages in the
region. The recovery of bodies was expected to end midweek.
Meanwhile, authorities were undertaking ambitious plans to relocate
thousands of people from devastated villages to new settlements,
selecting sites and lining up materials and equipment.
But first, officials were urging quick action to stop refugees from the
quake zone from moving to other parts of the country in search of food
and shelter, straining support systems elsewhere.
``Immediate relief is required in the form of tents and plastic sheets,
or else people will begin to flee the region,'' said P.K. Lahiri, the
principal secretary to Gujarat's chief minister, Keshubhai Patel, the
state's top elected official.
Authorities struggled to pump relief to remote areas, but there was
criticism that people close to distribution centers and on main
transportation routes were getting most of the aid, while millions of
others in far-flung areas had not been reached.
Respiratory infections have spread among survivors, but health officials
said there were no signs yet of an epidemic.
Huge communal kitchens have sprouted up around the quake zone. In
Ahmadabad early Monday, 500 people gathered at a kitchen for
breakfast. Women sat on the floor, making fried bread while cooks
stirred pots of potatoes and vegetables.
Officials said electricity had been restored to 80 percent of the affected
areas, which were plunged into darkness after the temblor.
Engineers were surveying villages in a first step toward rebuilding.
``We are going in military style. We will give priority to those who want
the rubble removed from their present villages and to stay there,'' said
M.S. Patel, a senior official supervising relief efforts.
For those moving, an estimated 400 new settlements were planned for
worst-affected region of Kutch, where homeless villagers are now
sleeping in tents and in the open on the dew-soaked ground.
Almost 125 international agencies, Indian voluntary groups and
individuals have offered to send in money and equipment for the new
settlements. Land is identified but work is likely to begin only by April,
officials said.
``We are far from being on the way to recovery,'' said Lahiri. ``Millions
of people are without any place to live, food to eat, clothes to wear or
any kind of social security.''

New Tremor Shakes Quake-Hit Indian State
NEW DELHI (Reuters) - A new tremor rocked India's earthquake-hit
Gujarat state late on Thursday, sending terrified residents of the main
city Ahmedabad fleeing out of buildings.
The tremor registered 5.3 on the Richter scale and struck at 10:25
p.m., with its epicenter 12 miles northeast of the town of Bhachau,
officials said.
With nearly 90 percent of its buildings flattened, Bhachau was one of
the towns worst hit by the January 26 earthquake of 7.7 on the Richter
scale which killed 30,000 and left hundreds of thousands homeless.
Since then there have been at least five aftershocks of more than five
on the Richter scale, making thousands of people nervous about
staying inside even so far undamaged houses, for fear of falling
masonry.
"Naturally, many people ran out of buildings when they felt the tremor
around 10:25 p.m.," P.A. Dixit, an Ahmedabad city official, told
Reuters by phone.
Though aid from all over India and the world has been pouring into
Gujarat, there have been complaints of poor coordination of relief
operations and slow disbursement of assistance.
"Against a requirement of over 60,000 tents in and around Bhuj alone,
we have so far received just a little over 3,500," said District Magistrate
for the town of Bhuj, Anil Mukim.
PSYCHIATRIC HELP FOR SURVIVORS
To assist people to deal with the trauma of the January 26 earthquake
-- and fear of continuing aftershocks -- the neighboring state of
Maharashtra has offered to provide psychiatric training to doctors in
Gujarat to teach them how to deal with earthquake survivors.
Maharashtra officials said they gained the expertise to deal with
quake-related trauma after quakes left 10,000 dead in the state in
September 1993.
"Usually the level of suicides among people who have lost relatives
and property in earthquakes is very high. We were able to prevent
that" in parts of Maharashtra, said T.C. Benjamin, Maharashtra's
secretary of medical education.
Vipul Bhatt, manning a government earthquake help line, said some
people were weeping in the streets of Ahmedabad after running out of
their houses on Thursday evening.
"They are still on the roads," Bhatt said by phone from Ahmedabad.
But he said there had been no reports of damage.
Hundreds gathered in the middle of the night in the city to buy a
special "Aftershock Edition" brought out by a local Hindi daily
newspaper to report on the 5.3 magnitude tremor.

Abraham in Bombay)

New Salvador Quake Kills at Least 15
SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador (Reuters) - At least 15 people died when a
6.1 magnitude earthquake shook El Salvador Tuesday morning,
flattening scores of homes in a provincial town and spreading panic
throughout the country.
The quake struck one month to the day after a 7.6 magnitude temblor
on Jan. 13 killed at least 844 people in the tiny Central American
nation of 6.2 million inhabitants.
"We can say that at least 15 people have died," said Carlos Lopez, a
spokesman for the Salvadoran Red Cross.
Earlier the YSKL radio network said its reporters had counted eight
dead bodies, two of them in the provincial town of Cojutepeque, and
six in surrounding villages.
The new quake sent houses tumbling to the earth in the town of San
Vicente, some 40 miles (60 km) east of the capital, according to Public
Works Minister Jose Angel Quiros. He gave no casualty figures.
"There are about 200 (collapsed) houses where people are buried,"
Quiros told a local radio station.
A reporter with the YSKL radio network said he had seen at least 15
people being taken to a hospital in San Vicente. Some of the fallen
homes had been damaged by the January quake, the radio reporter
said.
FELT IN HONDURAS AND GUATEMALA
Tuesday's earthquake was also felt in the neighboring Central
American nations of Honduras and Guatemala.
Damage in the Salvadoran capital was minimal, witnesses said.
Air force planes were flying reconnaissance missions to assess
damage.
Several people were buried by falling masonry in the town of San
Martin, 11 miles (18 km) from the capital, the Red Cross said.
Quiros also said there had been damage in the towns of Los Chorros,
12 miles (20 km) west of the capital, and in La Leona, 33 miles (53
km) to the east. Others reported that houses had collapsed in
Cojutepeque, 21 miles (33 km) from San Salvador.
The U.S. Geological Survey in Golden, Colorado, said the quake, which
struck at 8:22 a.m. (9:22 EST/1422 GMT) and lasted for about 20
seconds, measured 6.1 in magnitude.
Earlier the National Earthquake Information Service in Colorado put the
magnitude of the quake at 5.7 and said its epicenter was 60 miles (96
km) south of the capital.
The Geological Survey said the epicenter was 15 miles (24 km)
southeast of San Salvador.
January's earthquake killed at least 844 people and wrecked more
than 278,00 homes in this tiny nation of 6.2 million. Hundreds of
people are still unaccounted for.
QUAKE STRIKES IN MORNING RUSH-HOUR
Tuesday's earthquake struck during the morning rush-hour in the
capital, sending hundreds of panic-stricken office workers fleeing into
the streets.
"Everybody has left their offices and is in the streets, people are
panicking," one witness said.
Schools were evacuated as a precaution. Witnesses said many children
were in tears.
Witnesses said the temblor was followed by an aftershock about an
hour later. John Bellini, a geophysicist at the National Earthquake
Information Service, said Tuesday's quake was similar in intensity to
an aftershock on Jan. 16 that caused no damage.
In Honduras, office workers in the capital Tegucigalpa fled office
buildings and dashed into the streets as the ground started to shake.
A spokesman for the Tegucigalpa fire department said, "We have
reports of the quake from most parts of the country but we have not
heard of any damage or casualties."

Earthquake Hits El Salvador
SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador (AP) - A small earthquake shook the
capital of El Salvador on Tuesday, panicking residents still recovering
from two devastating quakes in a month. There were no reports of
damage or injuries.
The 3.6-magnitude quake hit at 11:35 a.m. (12:35 a.m. EST) and was
centered in San Salvador, said El Salvador's Center of Geotechnical
Investigations.
National Emergency Committee director Mauricio Ferrer said he had not
received any reports of damages or injuries.
``It was strong, but fast,'' said Dore Ayala of the Salvadoran Red
Cross, who noted that the earthquake was felt strongly in much of the
capital.
The quake, which lasted for only a short time, rocked buildings and
prompting people to run into the streets. Workers quickly returned to
their jobs, however, and the quake did not affect traffic, telephones or
electricity.
Two powerful earthquakes, on Jan. 13 and Feb. 13, killed at least
1,246 people and injured another 8,000. The first quake was
magnitude 7.6. The second was 6.6.

Seismicity Report for Northern California
Northern California Seismicity Report for the week ending Feb 22, 2001
This report provides a brief summary of earthquake activity recorded by
the U.S. Geological Survey Northern California Seismic Network in Menlo
Park and the University of California Berkeley Seismological Laboratory.
It is automatically generated each Wednesday shortly after midnight,
Universal time (UT). UT (ie., Greenwich Mean Time) is 8 hours ahead of PST
or 7 hours ahead of PDT.
Because it is not possible to review all of the earthquakes before this
report is generated, it may contain errors. Please report errors or
provide suggestions and comments to ncsn@andreas.wr.usgs.gov
The report no longer includes maps showing earthquakes for the entire US
or world. Those maps are now available from the U.S.G.S. National
Earthquake Information Center at
http://wwwneic.cr.usgs.gov/current_seismicity.shtml. In addition, all
earthquake data can be retrieved from the Northern California Earthquake
Data Center at http://quake.geo.berkeley.edu/cnss/catalog-search.html.
Please note that some of the earthquake data in this report have been
reviewed by seismic analysts. Consequently, the parameters that describe
the hypocenter, magnitude, origin time, and solution statistics may differ
slightly from the information contained on the real-time earthquake web
page. The differences reflect revised arrival times at seismic stations
and the analysts' decisions to include or exclude information from seismic
stations.
The minimum magnitude ( M) values in the following bullets reflect the
smallest earthquake which the network can routinely record within the
region. During the previous seven-day period ending at midnight (UT)
Wednesday, our seismic networks recorded
11 M less than 2.0 earthquakes in Northern and Central California see
http://quake.wr.usgs.gov/recent/weekreps/latest/cencal.gif (map) (within
dashed polygon of figure). The largest event to occur this week in this
region was a microearthquake of magnitude 3.0, 10 miles WNW of Los Banos,
CA at 03:40 AM UTC Friday, 02 16, 2001 (07:40 PM PST Thursday, Feb 15,
2001).
17 M less than 1.2 earthquakes in the San Francisco Bay area see

Earthquake Shakes Pacific Northwest
By LUIS CABRERA, Associated Press Writer
SEATTLE (AP) - A strong earthquake shook the Pacific Northwest on
Wednesday, sending people fleeing into the streets of Seattle and knocking
out power to thousands. There were no reports of injuries.
The magnitude 7.0 earthquake hit at 10:55 a.m., according to the National
Earthquake Information Center in Golden, Colo. It was centered 35 miles
southwest of Seattle and felt across the region, as far away as Salt Lake City,
700 miles away, and into Canada.
``Everyone was panicked,'' said Paulette DeRooy, who was in an elevator
descending from the 15th floor of a Seattle building when the earthquake
struck. She and several others scrambled out and onto a fire escape.
Screams erupted at a nearby hotel, where Microsoft founder Bill Gates
(news - web sites) was addressing an education and technology conference.
He was whisked away as his audience bolted for the exits. Some audience
members were knocked down by others trying to get out and overhead lights
fell to the floor.
The Seattle airport was closed and the tower and other offices were
evacuated, Federal Aviation Administration (news - web sites) spokesman
William Shumann said.
The FAA ordered a national ground stop for Seattle, which means no flights
to the Northwest's largest city were being allowed to take off anywhere in the
country. The center handling air traffic in Washington and Oregon, near
Auburn, Wash., was operating on backup power.
Utility officials estimated that 17,000 customers in the Seattle area were
without power.
In Olympia, about 10 miles from the epicenter, legislators, government
workers and visiting school children flooded out of the Capitol and other
buildings. The state Senate was in session.
``The chandelier started going and the floor started shaking. Someone yelled
get under the table and so we did,'' Sen. Bob Morton said. ``The sudden
violence let us know that this was a bad one.''
Cracked plaster, gilt and even paintings fell from the walls, but Morton said
he saw no sign of major structural damage.
Officials were particularly afraid the Capitol dome would collapse and people
linked hands as they walked down the marble stairs under the heavy dome.
``If that rascal had tumbled down, it would have been all over,'' Morton said.
Seattle's popular Pioneer Square neighborhood, site of recent Mardi Gras
riots, was damaged. Bricks from buildings were piled up on sidewalks.
Structural damage also was reported at Bellevue Community College, which
was shut down for the day.
``I thought a car had hit my building,'' said Sam Song, who owns a restaurant
in Everett, 30 miles north of Seattle. ``Then the ground started moving
around.''
In downtown Portland, Ore., office buildings swayed for 20 to 30 seconds.
The Multnomah County Courthouse was evacuated and employees were
gathered in a park across the street while officials inspected for damage.
Michelle Noonan of suburban Lake Oswego said the quake was strong
enough to move things around in her house.
``Everything was shaking,'' Noonan said. ``It knocked over a wood pile
outside house. Books fell off the shelf.''
Earthquake magnitudes are measures of earthquake size calculated from
ground motion recorded on seismographs. With each scale, an increase in
one full number - from 6.5 to 7.5, for example - means the quake's
magnitude is 10 times as great.
A quake with a magnitude of 6 can cause severe damage, while one with a
magnitude of 7 can cause widespread, heavy damage.
A 5.0 quake that struck the Puget Sound area on Jan. 28, 1995, was
described as the strongest to hit the area in 30 years, since a 6.5 earthquake
struck April 29, 1965, injuring at least 31 people. In 1949, a 7.1 quake near
Olympia killed eight people.
The Northridge quake that struck the Los Angeles area in January 1994
caused an estimated $40 billion in damage and killed 72 people. It was a
magnitude 6.7.

Seattle will be digging out for a few days. Fortunately they don't expect aftershocks because the center was so deep.
I have been trying to find out if there was much damage to the Pike Street Market. Michael has a couple of friends who work there.

(pauses to look at home.microsoft.com, finds this excerpt)
Microsoft founder Bill Gates was addressing an education and technology conference in Seattle as the quake hit. He was whisked away as his audience bolted for the exits. Some audience members were knocked down by others trying to get out.
Furniture even rattled in the eastern Washington, almost 200 miles east of Seattle.
Across the Canadian border in Vancouver, about 30,000 customers lost power briefly. Some businesses reported using earthquake procedures, asking employees climb under desks for protection.

From the N Y TIMES:
Most Benign Quake Type Hit Seattle, Experts Say
By CAROL KAESUK YOON with SANDRA BLAKESLEE
BELLINGHAM, Wash., Feb. 28 — In what could be viewed as a bit of luck
for riot and rain-plagued Seattle, the Puget Sound region emerged from a
magnitude 6.8 earthquake today relatively unscathed. Scientists say the
relative lack of damage from this powerful quake came, in large part,
because it originated so deep within the earth — some 30 miles beneath
the surface, 40 miles southwest of Seattle.
Researchers say today's type of quake, a slab, or Benioff zone,
earthquake, is the most frequent and potentially most benign of the types of
earthquake in the region.
"This is the earthquake we've been expecting," said Dr. Craig Weaver,
regional coordinator for the United States Geological Survey earthquake
program. "In the 1900's we've had a lot of these and we're going to
have more." Dr. Weaver said the survey deployed teams of researchers
immediately after the quake, looking for landslides and earth movement from
a chartered plane as well as looking for effects of the quake from the
ground.
Scientists said the quake originated very close to a similar-size
earthquake in 1949 which did much more damage, at least in part, because
buildings then had not been built to be as resistant to earthquakes.
Scientists emphasized that today's quake, centered roughly beneath the
delta of the Nisqually River between Tacoma and Olympia, should not be
a sign that the region is off the hook, as they said slab earthquakes
remain as likely tomorrow as they were yesterday. And they note that
other types of earthquakes, generated offshore or in shallow faults like
the one lying directly beneath Seattle, that are sure to visit the
region will very likely be more damaging.

I found out this morning that the epicenter was just about under Shelton,the town where Mike used to live.
We were in Alaska when the big one hit there. We lived between Anchorage and Kodiak in the bush. It was as bad there, but bad enough.I didn't think much of it at first because the dishes seem to rattle a lot in Ak. It got my notice when I saw a pickup going down the road with no one in it. when I looked out the window to see what was going on I could see the airport tower swaying and the guys running away from it.
As the tower chief said it was the ride of a lifetime. The tower wasn't damaged and in acouple of hours it was up and running.
The tower in Anchorage just folded out onto the tarmack like an accordian opening up. The men who stayed up therejust walked out when it settled.

The Olympia, Washington Earthquake: A Vancouver BC Perspective
by Neil Hodgins 03/01/01
I was surfing the ‘Net yesterday afternoon, when I went to my bookmarked site for the Cable News Network (CNN) looking for some information on a segment they had done at Christmastime on restored World War 2 Spitfire fighter aircraft that had been sold and auctioned off on E-bay when I came across the bulletin about the earthquake. I immediately turned on my TV and switched to CNN and then CTV NewsNet (a Canadian all-news channel). I was very concerned as my younger sister Lorraine and her husband, Scott, live in Burnaby, a suburb of Vancouver, British Columbia. Being a little familiar with the geological structure and history of the West Coast, I was more than a little worried for Lori, as I knew that a strong, damaging earthquake in the Seattle area held the very real potential of causing damage or injury in Vancouver. I fired off a quick e-mail to her, knowing that she would likely be either in her office, or teaching a class (Lori teaches website design and illustration part-time between a private colle
e in Vancouver and at a local Community College in Burnaby). I didn’t hear back from her right away, so I kept glued to the TV and occasionally checked my e-mail, but nothing had come in.
Finally, around 7pm EST, Lorraine called, much to my and my Mom’s relief. She was fine and in good spirits, but naturally a little un-nerved by the day’s events. Here are a few of her impressions and thoughts on the quake:
“It was scary. I was teaching my web class in downtown Vancouver when the quake hit just before 11 am our time. First thing we noticed was a low persistent rumbling noise that sounded like a big heavy truck passing the building, but I noticed that the sound was growing louder and lasting longer any truck would make--that’s when I knew something was wrong. Then there was a brief pause, about 1 or 2 seconds, when the sound returned, but much louder, and that’s when thing’s started shaking noticeably. There was a feeling that the building was on water, and there was a waving motion to it. I could feel the waves passing through my body, and that left me feeling a bit disoriented and nauseous. Many of us on our floor weren’t sure of what was happening, and we were all more or less upset or excited by it; but I knew when the shaking wasn’t easing off that it must have been an earthquake. The quake seemed to only last 10 or 15 seconds at the most, but if it had gone on longer, I probably would have hidden under a
esk or run out of the building. Nobody on our floor was injured, and I don’t know of anybody personally who was, but there was some property damage in some area’s of the city, with cracked walls and plaster, stuff knocked of shelves and such. I heard that there was a house in north Vancouver that was badly shaken and that had to be declared condemned, but I don’t know anything more about it.
Scott was at home when it happened. He’d worked the night before, and had gotten off at midnight, so he was asleep when the quake hit. It woke him up out of a sound sleep. He said everything was shaking and banging about quite sharply, especially the pictures on the wall. The noise was very loud, as if a freight train were passing through the house. Some of the furniture moved, including the bed with Scott in it! But we found no real damage when we looked things over carefully when I got home. This wasn’t Scott’s first quake, as he’s felt them while he lived in California for a time, but even he said this was a strong one...
I was very nervous about earthquakes before coming out to BC. After all the things you’ve (me, the author) told me about them and how this area is the most geologically active region in Canada, and overdue for a major quake, I gathered up all the pamphlets from the local library about earthquake safety that I could. We put together an earthquake kit sometime ago (bottled water, blankets, canned food, a couple of portable radio’s, spare cash, etc.), but the college doesn’t have one set up. The authorities say you should have a kit with you regardless of where you are, so we’ll probably make up one for the car too...
This was my first real earthquake, and I don’t really want to go through another--it’s NOT a good feeling. I don’t know what I would have done had it been much worse.”
I’m very glad it wasn’t worse too.

Stuff lnocked off shelves.
Thats why you will always see dishes and glassware etc behind shatterproff glass in stores in Alaska.
Tremors are a way of life. You get so used to them you don't even notice them after a few years living there.

New Tremor Hits Quake-Stricken Indian StateM
Reuters
Mar 4 2001 8:17AM
AHMEDABAD, India (Reuters) - A moderate tremor measuring 5.2 on the
Richter scale Sunday hit the western Indian state of Gujarat, still
recovering from a giant earthquake that killed an estimated 30,000
people in January.
Residents of high-rise apartments in Ahmedabad, the state's biggest city,
ran out of their homes in panic, but there were no reports of casualties or
damage to property.
The tremor was felt at around 1:45 p.m. in parts of Gujarat and lasted
eight to nine seconds, an official at the local meteorological office told
Reuters.
The epicenter was located some 62 miles from Bhuj. The town took the
brunt of January's quake, which measured 7.7 on the Richter scale.
Most of the people in Bhuj, however, said they did not feel Sunday's
tremor. "One or two people called up asking if I had felt the tremor around
lunchtime, but I didn't feel anything," said one resident.
Earlier Sunday, a quake measuring 5.1 on the Richter scale shook India's
northeastern region and parts of northern Myanmar, a meteorological
department official said.
Police and fire service officials said there were no reports of any
casualties or property damage in the area.
The earthquake's epicenter was located in the Himalayan region close to
the Chinese border, the official said.
India has felt a series of tremors since the January 26 earthquake hit
once-prosperous Gujarat, leaving thousands of people homeless.
Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee has called off traditional celebrations
at his home for a Hindu festival of colors next week as a mark of respect
to the thousands who died in the Gujarat quake.

NO MORE EARTHQUAKES THAN USUAL, BUT 2001 SO FAR IS DEADLY
With more than 35,000 estimated deaths from earthquakes in the first
two months of 2001, it may seem like the earth is more restless than
usual. Not so, according to scientists at the U.S. Geological Survey's
National Earthquake Information Center (NEIC) in Golden, Colo.
"While it's true that more people have died from earthquakes during
the first two months of this year than in the last two years put
together, the average number of earthquakes per month has stayed about
the same," said USGS scientist Waverly Person. "Overall, earthquake
activity isn't on the rise," said Person. "We're simply able to locate
more lower magnitude earthquakes due to advances in the technology, and
when a deadly quake occurs, those images of death and destruction come
right into our living rooms on the evening news."
In January 2000, there were six "significant" earthquakes that were
responsible for seven deaths. Significant earthquakes are defined by
NEIC as "earthquakes with a magnitude of 6.5 or larger, or ones that
caused fatalities, injuries or substantial damage." In January 2001
there were also six significant earthquakes, but the combined death
toll from both the January 13 and February 13 earthquakes in El
Salvador, and the January 26 quake in southern India is estimated at
30,000 to 40,000.
In February 2000 there were five significant earthquakes, with one
death, whereas in February 2001 there were three significant quakes,
with 325 deaths.
"Dense urban populations coupled with weak building structures near the
epicenters are responsible for most of the fatalities, in any year,"
Person said. "The annual, long-term average is 10,000 deaths worldwide,
but that figure varies greatly, from year to year. In 2000, for
example,
there were only about 225 people killed in earthquakes, whereas,
fatalities totaled 8,928 in 1998, and 2,907 in 1997. The deadliest year
of the 20th century was 1976, when at least 255,000 people, and perhaps
more than 600,000, were killed after one quake rocked Tianjin (formerly
Tangshan), China."
Person said a typical year for earthquakes consists of 18 major
temblors
(magnitude 7.0 to 7.9) and one great quake (8.0 or higher). During the
first two months of 2001, there were seven earthquakes with magnitudes
of 7.0 or higher, and two others with magnitudes of 6.8. The highest
magnitude of any quake in February 2001 was the magnitude 7.3 in
Southern Sumatra. Seattle suffered a magnitude 6.8 temblor on February
28, but no deaths were directly attributed to the earthquake, and
damage, though extensive, was far less than it would have been in many
cities of the world.
2-2-2
QUAKES
The greatest number of earthquake-related deaths this year has been in
India, where as many as 30,000 people may have been killed due to the
7.7, January 26, earthquake. That number is estimated to go as high as
50,000. The death toll from the January 13, 7.7 quake in El Salvador
and the February 13 magnitude 6.6 is estimated at around 1,169. Many
of the El Salvadorans were killed when earthquake-triggered landslides
crushed their homes.
The USGS estimates that several million earthquakes occur in the world
each year. Many go undetected because they hit remote areas or have
very small magnitudes. The USGS now locates about 50 earthquakes each
day, or about 20,000 a year, with an average of 20 earthquakes per day
in California. Real-time information about earthquakes can be found at
.
Since 1973, the USGS has provided up-to-date earthquake information
to emergency response and mitigation teams, government agencies,
universities, private companies, scientists and the general public.
This information includes determinations of the locations and severity
of seismic events in the United States and throughout the world,
including the rapid analysis of significant earthquakes on a 24-hour
basis. Seismologists around the world use this information to increase
their understanding of earthquakes and to better evaluate earthquake
hazards. As the nation's largest water, earth and biological science
and civilian mapping agency, the USGS works in cooperation with more
than 2,000 organizations across the country to provide reliable,
impartial, scientific information to resource managers, planners, and
other customers. This information is gathered in every state by USGS
scientists to minimize the loss of life and property from natural
disasters, contribute to the sound conservation, economic and physical
development of the nation's natural resources, and enhance the quality
of life by monitoring water, biological, energy and mineral resources.

Hi
OF ALL PLACES, you would NEVER expect the United Kingdom to get earthquakes.
Some people I know from Britain ask me how do I cope living in the Shaky Isles (their name for NZ). I answer: we do not get earthquakes daily (about 150-250 felt every year)but about one magnitude 6 earthquake every year (sometimes more sometimes less). The damaging ones that exceed 6 are a bother when they happen
but for the most part unless seismicity is unusually high you need not worry.
But having said that, we are overdue for a magnitude 8 plus earthquake that WILL do some damage and kill a few people, we are watching and waiting.
Rob

Post-Quake Stress May Cause Quakes
By ANDREW BRIDGES, AP Science Writer
A buildup of stress in the Earth's crust after an earthquake can trigger a
sequence of quakes on neighboring faults - sometimes years later, say
scientists who studied the two largest quakes to hit Southern California
in the last decade.
Seven years and a dozen miles separated the magnitude-7.3 Landers
and magnitude-7.1 Hector Mine earthquakes northeast of Los Angeles.
But the researchers say stress in the Earth's brittle upper crust following
1992 Landers quake likely triggered the second.
The first earthquake, followed hours later by the magnitude-6.5 Big
Bear earthquake, killed one person and caused $100 million in damage.
The 1999 Hector Mine quake resulted in few injuries or damage since it
struck a more remote area.
The report, published in Thursday's issue of the journal Nature, suggests
that careful monitoring of stress levels in the Earth's crust following
earthquakes can help scientists in their quest to predict quakes.
``It's a recognition that earthquakes do occur in clusters and sequences.
And if we can understand those sequences maybe we have a chance at
understanding when the next ones will occur,'' said Andrew Freed, a
geophysicist at the Carnegie Institution in Washington, D.C., and the
paper's co-author.
The estimated magnitude-7.8 earthquake that laid waste to much of San
Francisco in 1906 relieved so much stress that the region experienced
few quakes for decades.
But others, such as 1989's Loma Prieta magnitude-7.1 earthquake near
San Francisco that killed 69, may portend seismic activity to come,
Freed said.
In big earthquakes, Freed said, large amounts of stress are induced on
the Earth's lower crust and upper mantle. Those regions cannot sustain
the stress over time and slowly snap back.
As those regions relax, the stress is taken up by the upper crust,
eventually causing earthquakes that can hit, domino-like, months or
years later, Freed said.
That stress is relayed between faults, often over miles and years, is not
in dispute. Other models point to the movement of groundwater as the
prime relayer of the built-up stress.
``The basic tenets of the theory are pretty sound: When you move a
fault, you increase stress,'' said Susan Hough, a U.S. Geological Survey
(news - web sites) seismologist.

Rob, lots of people think I am crazy for living on the world's most active volcano. Give me a nice steady predictable lava flow any day to a tornado. I'll even take the possibility of a tsunami (we are overdue) or another good-sized quake. They are a matter of course just as yours are. Just be safe down there. Your volcanoes go ! BOOOM !

Hi
How humbled I am by your gracious welcome.
Earthquakes abound in the North Island as we have had several in the subduction zone of the NE corner of the country. Magnitudes were 3.7 3.9 4.0 and 4.1. None were more than 27km down.
Ngauruhoe (the perfect Andesite cone attached to Tongariro - and stealing Tongariro's magma)is clogged up. The vent is blocked and I am wondering if it is going to settle into a longer term pattern of snooze-BOOM-snooze. The last eruption was 1975 and was explosive in nature. It has erupted lava several times including during 1954 when the last lava flow (aa in appearance)came down.
I think it is the next one to blow in New Zealand.

Hi
I forgot to mention how rough American weather systems appear as opposed to the relatively benign systems that come to New Zealand.
I have very high respect for supercell storms such as what pound the Texas panhandle every spring. They are devilish and unpredictable (they make New Zealand storms look tame). The worst we might get is an F1 or at worst F2 tornado go down a street in Greymouth on the West Coast where the most powerful and unstable storm systems tend to strike. Thunderstorms are frequent in the mountains during spring here and as always the worst time on the Canterbury Plains for them is also spring/summer. We had a storm last November riding on the leading edge of a cold front and I have NEVER heard thunder like what we got then or seen lightning nearly as brilliant as this (flashes every 5-10 seconds for the full 2 hour duration of the storm. Fork lightning was very frequent and there were something like a dozen lightning strikes). For a province where usually the worst a storm on the plains can do is 3-4 maybe up to 12 lightning flashes, this was unreal. And the rain. 5mm of rain dropped in 20 minutes - again something u
usual for coastal Canterbury. But Texas and like states get this every year - WOW!!!!!!!!!
Are you Democrat or Republican OR so infuriated by politics you could not care less unless the USGS get a funding cut and your job goes? Reason why is I am wondering how real Global warming is and based on stuff happening in New Zealand
think it is to some extent not so far fetched as a Republican would tell you.
The glaciers are retreating again. Record breaking droughts are in progress in Canterbury Marlborough and Nelson, while record breaking rains hit Northland, Auckland, Coromandel, Bay of Plenty and the Hawkes Bay. For 3 consecutive years we have had a drought of one form or another, whether driven by La Nina, El Nino, or just a drought. Storms (not thunderstorms but REAL storms)are also hitting more. A powerful storm in October last year dropped 200mm in a day over Banks Peninsula (3 months rain in a DAY), and packed winds of between 120-180kmh. The mess was still being cleaned up in some areas in December.

Rob, I try to stay as far away from politics while remaing informed for boting purposes. The power in the United States is full of checks and balances so one greedy or immoral president is not going to change much in the long run. He is more like the news-at-6pm man who reads prewritten speeches. The real power goes in in committess which for legislation.
The USGS is a most important part of the United States Government and it better be funded. However, I know a most wonderful retired gentleman who is now in his vigorous 80's who actually drew those infernal quadrangle maps whe had to study. Topography was not my best subject, but it most assuredly was his. He sent me one of his maps so I could see his name on it, and, the monograph explaining it all. I am a very big supporter of the United States Geological Survey, and their memebers work for very small wages. Cutting their funding would be outrageous and unthinkable.
As for global warming, I have discussed this far into the night with far wiser men than I over steaming cups of coffee and tea. No matter how mightly we think we are, global climates are cyclical and there is only minimal and short term things we can do to it. Look back in histoy to mini-ice ages and summers with nohing but rain - or those without rain. They come and go, but we are like the flea on an elephant, and cannot do much than poision one another in the short term. The Earth and the cockroaches will endure as they have always done!

Hi
Marcia, that was dead on target with both barrels. I only mention it because I am doing a Bachelor of Science in Geology and geography (where we are looking at global change)is one of the subjects I am doing to advance the degree. Politicians do some INSANE things. I almost had a heart-attack when I read in 1997 that the Institute of Geological and Nuclear Sciences (the New Zealand equivalent to the USGS)was going to have a funding cut. Then I almost had a second when no one in Parliament raised no objections that I can remember!!! Now, anyone who has bothered to read Sir Geoffrey Cox's books (Slumbering Giants - the central North Island volcanoes, and/or Fountains of Fire - the Auckland volcanoes), or Jefley Aitken's masterpiece Rocked and Ruptured - New Zealand faults, will know that geologists and geology students say we are overdue for a disaster. We are. It may be an unpleasant shock to land owners at Lake Taupo to find out that the lake is in a dormant volcano's crater. It will be unpleasant for Welli
gtonians to find out their water supply reservoir are a top the Wellington Fault as sag-ponds. And the shocking truth about the Alpine Fault at Franz Josef got out last year, causing a disturbance...................
But both you and I agree do we that IF funding DOES get cut, people WILL die because the volcanoes and faultlines and geologically unstable strata zones that developers want to build on or somehow develop for human use, that should be watched are no longer monitored OR are monitored BUT because of the funding cut, are not watched closely enough?
At any rate I would expect an increase in funding for the IGNS because if the pollies in Wellington wanna live, then the WELLINGTON fault needs to be monitored 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If the Alpine Fault is NOT the first fault in New Zealand to deliver a magnitude 8 earthquake for over a century, the Wellington Fault or Wairarapa Fault will.

Hello Rob. Your posts are fascinating and you're a real geologist. I just post here from time to time. You can read my posts and laugh. May I ask where you live in New Zealand? You'd mentioned North Island, but near which city? Are the incredibly old rocks on North Island or South Island? Or both?
I'm glad that you generally don't get the extremes of weather that North America, and especially some parts of the United States are prone to get. I read somewhere that North America has the worst (as in extreme) weather in the world. I live in Pennsylvania which is fairly benign weather-wise. Still, three years ago Pittsburgh got hit with a tornado. That was supposed to be virtually impossible. I think the operative word there was either "supposed" or "virtually".
As for earthquakes, Pittsburgh has a very small one back in the eighties. Also, if a quake occurs on the New Madrid Fault things will be get a bit shaky in Pittsburgh. I'm not sure exactly how bad it could be, though.

My fingers are crossed for both New Zealand and for us. I need to find a fault map to post here of the New Zealand faults so we can keep track of what is shaking down there. Also, I need to find a source of earthquake reports in that part of the world. I cannot believe you have had so few recently that they have not made my reports. Which, come to think of it, is frightening in itself.
Cheryl, you are a treasure for asking questions and being curious. It makes us do our homework and to share with one another what we have discovered. Pittsburgh is NOT built to withstand earthquakes. I have some good friends there *grin* and want them protected as best we can. Imagine the chaos in New York City should one hit there! Sudden appreciation for creative ingenuity would soon follow upon the heels of circle-running and screaming. Virtually originally meant "truly" as in virtue (no lies). Now, it means "almost". It is far less reassuring!
Rob, my delight in your wonderful posts is boundless. You have a warm welcome and a large leather chair here for comfort and consideration. Now, off to find that fault map which I will put in Geo 9 which was seismology 101 when this began. It is where I post longer news items and such.

Hi
I live in Christchurch, New Zealands third city, and home to 340,000 people.
It is a top the Canterbury Plains (vast alluvial plains laid down by the Waimakariri and Rakaia Rivers. Other rivers like the Rangitata, Waiau and Hurunui also contributed to a lesser extent. The first two have freedom of movement - unlike the Columbia River for example they are not confined to vallies when out on the plains and provided they can get round the stop banks (you would call them levees I think), they can go anywhere. The Waimakariri in geological time has flowed north and south of the present position of Christchurch and THROUGH it!!!!!! It is the single biggest flood hazard in New Zealand and it is controlled by having commercial operators remove gravel shifted by the river in floods as well as a complex network of stop banks covering old flood channels some of which empty into the headwaters of the Avon River. The Avon is a spring fed river rising in western Christchurch about 5 minutes drive from my place (on the edge of an old flood channel), that flows east to the Avon Heathcote estuary a
d is very scenic.

Hi
Forgot to mention that Christchurch is in the South Island on the East Coast.
Two large basaltic strato-shield volcanoes (extinct)exist south-south east of the city. The Lyttelton volcano and Akaroa volcanoes are 6-10 million years old and a third volcano existed between them but is so eroded it is not obvious it existed.

Hi
The belt of faults running through the central North Island are to do with the subduction zone beneath the North Island. The large lake is Lake Taupo (Taupo volcano resides underneath it and NO ONE is forward to the day when THAT volcano awakens). The Wellington fault is the big one running out of Wellington and the Wairarapa fault is the smaller but still quite big strand east of Wellington running SW-NE. The biggish one begining northwest of Christchurch (north is straight up the map)is the Hope Fault (last quake was Mw 7.3). I must have mentioned the land west of the Alpine Fault is moving north-northeast toward Wanganui and the Taranaki area.
Some of the earthquake years/magnitudes are wrong.
1994 was a 6.7 near Arthurs Pass - either not mentioned or confused (due NW of Christchurch)
1995 had a 6.0 near Cass (due NW of Christchurch)

Hi Cheryl
Where do you live? Christchurch is a neat city with an annoying NE for a prevailing wind. It comes of the Pacific and in winter is almost as cold as the southerlies that bring our bad weather. It can go on for literally weeks or even months (in a La Nina)with out real change and it can be absolutely infuriating biking home in it. Northwesters are wicked wonderful and wacky. They come infrequently enough that you can look forward to them when they do. A full blown northwester is warm, dry and ideally light to moderate in strength.
Southerlies on the other hand can drag thunderstorms, squally showers with hail,
snow and heavy rain with them (sometimes all at once). A storm in 1998 with a classic gust front came in with marble size hail and carpet bombed us for about 20 minutes - clearing out five minutes before I rushed down to school (due southwest)for end of year exams!!

Fascinating stuff, Rob. I think Aotearoa gets very little note here simplty be cause we never had a real live interested Kiwi to tell us what was happening. YOu can have that long white cloud just as long as it doesn't obscure the activity! Your information is food for the starving here. Mahalo Nui Loa!

Hi Marci and all
The more I hear from you the more I wonder if I am talking to an expat Kiwi or one with strong Kiwi connections. You astound me day in and day out with your impressive knowledge of the country Kiwis affectionately call God Zone. When you first told me you like listening to cricket on the radio I thought: WHAT! You mean to tell me Americans have heard of the big English/Australian/Kiwi/Sri Lankan/Indian/South African/Pakistani/Zimbabwean/West Indies (countries of the Caribbean play as one)/Scottish/Bangladeshi and Kenyan summer game. All the above play cricket and field international test and One Day International squads. So I ask how do you know so much??? I thought I should not mention Aotearoa because it may confuse some. The long white cloud is pretty extensive over the South Island at the moment, with snow in Southland, and Otago.
You impress greatly. Aside from me do you have friends down here??? If so where do they live??

Alas, the only friends I have on your lovely islands are the ones who talk to me on Radio New Zealand International... and YOU!!! Happy me on the latter! I can even name you some team members from all of the above Cricket teams, and I like to quiz my Oz friends on when they are going to let England win The Ashes. It tends to strain relationships a bit when I do that. Too bad the Windys (I used to talk with a guy who played for them) started changing their teams around and playing for other countries and vice versa. It gets very confusing! Almost as bad as Footie!
Quake rocks northern Pakistan, no damage reported
ISLAMABAD, May 22 (Reuters) - A moderate earthquake in northeastern
Afghanistan rocked parts of northern Pakistan on Tuesday, but there were no
immediate reports of damage, official media said.
The APP news agency quoted a meteorological station in the northwestern
town of Peshawar as saying the tremor registered 5.2 on the Richter scale,
powerful enough to cause heavy damage in a populated area, and was centred
300 km (187 miles) north of there in the Hindukush mountain ranges in
Afghanistan.
The tremor, at 2:14 p.m. (0914 GMT), was felt in Peshawar and the
northwestern district of Chitral bordering the northeastern Afghan
provinces of Kunar and Badakhshan, it said.

Hi
Have you ever been to New Zealand? If so when did you go? I was in Hilo in 1992
during the month of May. Such a lovely city, and the beach front is beautiful. With the exception of Seattle it is one city in America I would readily move to if I had to. I did not know why the beach front had roads and driveways leading to nowhere then but now that I do I think it is a great idea and serves as a potent reminder of the destructive power of a tsunami. The Chilean earthquake that generated the waves was by no one account a SMALL earthquake. By geologist and seismologists accounts it was huge and by accounts of everyone else, it made us realise how puny we really are. Does everyone agree that an Mw 9.5 lives up to the term MEGATHRUST quake??
Have you ever seen the haka done or heard of a powhiri (genuine Maori welcome). The former is an AGGRESSIVE war dance done by the All Black rugby team (and others)as either a mark of respect or to intimidate the opposition. The haka performed by the Armed Services schools and culture groups is done as a mark of respect and will vary. The haka done by the All Blacks is pure intimidation and meant to off put the opposition as much as possible. Different countries are starting to develop responses to it. The Australians sing "Waltzing Matilda" (Slim Dusty sang it at the Olympics)at full volume, and the English simply start singing. Usually it is "Rule Britannnia" (Every Pom knows the lines and if you go to the orchestral extravaganza "Last Night of the Proms", you are guaranteed it will be sung). BUT IN NEW ZEALAND........... there is dead silence. No one moves, no one makes a noise, and loud speakers ensure that the whole stadium hears the chant. Intimidating. Utterly intimidating.
Powhiri's are performed by culture groups at school and by the iwi welcoming people on to their Marae. It is not something I get to witness all that often which is a bit disappointing because the ceremonial aspect is very interesting.
Here is my New Zealand cricket dream team consisting of players currently active.
Nathan Astle - opening batsman
Matthew Sinclair - opening batsmen
Stephen Fleming - batsman/captain
Craig McMillan - batsman/bowler
Adam Parore - batsman/wicketkeeper
Chris Cairns - allrounder (batsman/bowler)
Chris Harris - allrounder (batsman/bowler)
Daniel Vettori - batsman/bowler
Dion Nash - batsman/bowler
Simon Doull - bowler
Darryl Tuffey - bowler
12th man: Roger Twose - batsman
note: allrounders can both bat and bowl reliably with even ability in both. All players can field

Oh Rob!!! I never miss the last night at the Proms. Sing "Land of Hope and Glory", "See The Conqu'ring Hero Comes" followed by "Rule Britannia" (I know most of the verses) and "God Save the Queen" (know them, too). H ave seen the rather intimidating Maori greeting complete with impressive displying of tongues. I do not recognize the other. It is difficult to see much except inmy heart and imagination on short wave radio (or now, over the internet). I adore test matches because it means I get 5 straight days of unadulterated Cricket!
It has taken a while but I do know what is a virgin, a duck, and a worm-burner. My grandfather had a googly ball with which I played as a small child. Not something you want hurled at your willow bat protecting the bales atop the stumps. No foreign stubstances allowed to create a sticky wicket, either. The bales seem precariously balanced. Bringing this back on topic, has an earthquake ever dislodged a bale?

Hi
Rule Britannia, Britannia rule the waves. Britons never never never shall be slaves. Rule Britannia, Britannia rule the waves. Britons never never never shall be slaves.
Great piece, sung with gusto it makes for a rousing little song.
Here's another one that you might want to know
God of nations at thy feet
In the bonds of love we meet
Hear our voices we entreat
God defend our free land.
Guard Pacific's triple star
From the shafts of strife and war
Make her praises heard afar
God defend New Zealand.
John Denver has written many lovely songs but the ones I like the most are the ones involving nature or having a nature theme to them. Notables include: Eagle and the Hawk, Eagles and Horses (I'm flying again), Amazon, Calypso, American Child, Rocky Mountain High, Cold Nights in Canada and many others.
I love nature at her glorious best. She is the supreme definition of life on the planet, giver and destroyer, and undeniably awe inspiring. Do you agree?

Rob, you're right about the glories of nature. The first time I visited son the geologist in California, he asked me what I wanted to see. I asked him to drive away from the people and closer to God. He took me to see the Giant Sequoia, Yosemite National Park and Mt Lassen. Not bad for a simple request. Long valley caldera was on my next trip as was Mt Shasta (it is NOT there. was totally socked in by thick cotton-wool clouds.) Oh he also showed me the Calistoga Geyser, my first one - and only one thus far.
I collect national anthems. Yours is lovely, indeed. Yeah, Iknow Rule Britannian is inane when you just sing the chorus. The verses aren't all that bad considering the times in which it was written. It bests singing "Ole" at soccer matches. I wish the Americans could sing ours straighforward as an anthem should be sung. It IS a hymn not a rock concert! I also wish we would sing the last verse:
Oh thus be it e'er when free men shall stand
Between their lov'd homes and war's desolation!
Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Pow'r that has made and presrv'd us a nation
And conquer we must when our cause is just
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the Star-Spangled Banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

Hi
I take it you have not seen Old Faithful? I have not seen it either but it is one I want to get to at some stage. Equally impressive would have to be the caldera of the Yellowstone volcano and the massive flows of ignimbrite (??).
I went Crater Lake in Oregon in the May of 1992 and found it to be utterly impressive. The sheer size of the eruption 6600 years BP means it is NOT an event I would want again in a rush. It is quite amazing to think the pumice plain around the volcano actually covers whole valleys. I cannot imagine what it must be like to have a Caldera volcano form - awe inspiring or terrifying? You pick.
I suppose the key to monitoring such volcanoes is seismographs to track the earthquakes and tiltmeters to record inflation and deformation of the ground. Any change hopefully will be picked up in time to act on.

I have not seen what is left of Mt Mazama (Crater Lake) but expect I will in a year or so when my son and his wife-to-be move to Oregon. Alas, Yellowstone has not been in my life, either. It is prominent on my wish list, however! They have opened a Yellowstone Volcano Observatory and it is suspected when that blows, it will cause earth winters of deadly proportions. Another planet??

Hi
Have you heard any of John Denvers music? I was just wondering what goes for you and people in your world? The Moody Blues, and Neil Finn are not too bad either (Neil Finn is a New Zealand musician. He and his brother Tim have been in the bands Split Enz, Crowded House, and now Neil is on a solo career that is making him one of New Zealands most wanted exports).
Notable hits from the Crowded House/Split Enz days are: Weather with you, I got you, Four seasons in one day, Six month in a leaky boat.
Another person worth noting is Dave Dobbyn. He sings rock and is probably our best known rocker. His hits are ones like: Whaling, Slice of Heaven, Outlook for Thursday, Guilty.
So, there you go. New Zealand music is real, alive and kicking. I have music connections as several friends were in bands at high school, and because Burnside High (my old high school), is world renown in New Zealand for turning out first class choirs, soloists, and barbershop groups. The latest sensation is only 14 but she has the voice of Charlotte Church (the English teenager, and the good looks to go with it). Hayley Westenra is a hot cookie with an album out, and has been on national television twice, and has a national tour in July.
She evidently will tell you she is just another student giving her best shot and hoping for some fun along the way. Hows that for modesty??

Sorry I forgot to mention John Denver. Yes! I love his music. It makes me feel good. Oddly enough, several years ago a friend and I drove to Denver across southern Utah (you would not believe the magnificent geology on that road. You must go sometime!). I expected to hear John Denver everywhere in Colorado. I could hear him in my mind everywhere we went, but not one single time did we hear his music. We should have brought a CD of it along! As it was I played all the classical music the lady had in her car and just about wore out her Bizet Symphony in C and a lot of tremendous Baroque organ and brass music. Wheeeee it was glorious!!!
Charlotte Church is indeed the voice of an angel. I have a few of her cletic things and her version of Jerusalem. What a glorious voice! I will check out the rest of your hot cookie list =)

Geologists Find Evidence of Major Quake in What Is Now Portland
By William McCall
Associated Press Writer
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - Geologists said Tuesday they've discovered
evidence that a major earthquake hit what is now downtown Portland about
12,000 years ago along a fault now considered an active threat.
Geologists have long known about the so-called Portland Hills fault
that runs beneath the city, but did not know how big a risk it posed.
John Beaulieu, the chief state geologist, said at a Tuesday news
conference "there's nothing here that should cause undue alarm." Still, he
said, "It's a risk we simply can't afford to ignore."

Thank you Sandi for the following posted in world_seismicity@yahoogroups.com
John Tsatsaragos is a splendid man with the soul of a poet and the relentless approach of the scientist. It is my privilege to know him from half way around the world. Oddly enough we share the same ocean and moon and stars. It is a great comfort to think of it that way! Check this most interesting website.
Though Dr. C. Thanassoulas and John Tsatsaragos, in Greece, have
only one station testing an application of a theory which will
eventually use triangulation of vectors of piezoelectric seismic
electric signals, and quakes of M 6.0+ are really needed, this
quake may somewhat useful to them.
This approach to short-term earthquake prediction appears very
promising, targeting the focus, rather than indicating only the
general region of the imminent event, if given sufficient funding.
The VLP waves in the low frequency range do appear more promising
than the electric field intensity measurements in the high frequency
range. The magnetic field measurements in the ULF band prior to the
17 Oct 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, Ms 7.1, showed distinct anomalous
patterns.
The problem of the assumption of homogeneous ground may be overcome
if enough stations are available to indicate errant electrical field
intensity vectors.
The problem with small magnitude EQs is that even if these signals
exist, they may be hidden in the ambient electrical noise of the
region. They need sizable quakes to produce large signals. With
only one station, lack of instrumentation and data, they have an
uphill battle. The other problem is the lack of M 6.0+ quakes in
Greece, though they do have Italy, and especially Turkey, in the
region.

The Earth Moves For The West Country
'Scared' Residents in Devon and Cornwall were woken in their beds by the shock which measured 3.6 on the Richter scale. Police received more than 40 calls from worried members of the public. Tanya Horrocks, who is seven-and-a-half months pregnant and lives near Liskeard, Cornwall, said: "I was scared because it was so intense and not something we have experienced before." Her partner Jason Willoughby said: "We thought it was a lorry going down the road at first but then the house started to shake and it passed over the top. We thought it was an aircraft or something of that nature, but there was nothing."
The epicentre of the quake was in the Bristol Channel, 25 miles west of Bude on the Cornish coast. Major disasters are usually caused by shocks measuring about seven or higher on the scale. A five is regarded as a moderate quake. There were no injuries in the tremors and only a handful of reports of minor damage caused.

Maggie, I got to the vocano the usual way - was offered dinner in town and I suggested Subway sandwiches at the lava flows. When if as soon as the big guys at Spring get my FTP fixed you will see pictures. The lava was too far away to see very well... alas... without binoculars but I did get some lovely sunset and one pre-dark flow image I would like to post.
I had just posted that there was an earthquake in Greece and you said, "I was just there!" or something to that effect... There was an EQ under the Bristol Channel. Not in Cornwall. You know.... check the maps the OS puts out ;)

Hi all
I hate to say this but I am not really calibrated to feel earthquakes or for some reason do not sense things like that well unless it was sudden loud or powerful. In 1994 an earthquake not more than 100 km NW from Christchurch as the crow flies measuring 6.7 on the richter scale shook Arthurs Pass and was felt strongly in Christchurch where it broke chimneys and dislodged loose ornaments. I never felt a thing much less knew an earthquake had hit until Craig (my 18 year old brother)rang from a friend's place to see if all was okay here!!

Odd thing about earthquakes. I know many who are seemingly immune to them, and I tend to sense them even when they are almost subliminal. Especially if I have recently experienced one strong enough to worry me. For that reason I have a little "ornamental seismometer" in the living room. I dash in to see if it is wiggling. Actually, it is small spheres on spring-steel wires attached to a central base and springing outward like a fountain. The slightest movement of its substrate will make one or more of them undulate. It is sitting on a very heavy piece of furniture so it takes an earthquake to move it. More than once I thought I felt one and ran in to fine just one or two gently moving in the direction of the quake's movement. It really works quite well. I can also usually gauge the magnitude pretty closely. I just thought it was from al these years of experiencing them. There must be more to it. I have no precognition, however!
6.7 is pretty good jolt - I know!!! Does it disappoint you that you are not seismically tuned? I rather hate to have slept through one. It is an amazing feeling!

Hi
Marcia, are you online simultaneously with me??? Pity I don't ICQ or something similar because it would absolutely awesome to message you live. My brother often uses ICQ to talk to people overseas and I think I will have to see about getting it myself because I was delighted to note your reply just now. And my friend, the only one people who sound like they are pond scum are people who abuse others, crims, rapists, murderers, disgusting scumbags who should be in G.W. Bushs, home state of Texas awaiting death row or spending the rest of their lives locked away. So long as you don't have a psychopath on the loose in Hawaii I rest easy because not knowing how some people I like a lot are fearing mean I often send them e-mail especially if they have signalled they are having trouble with something.
I have great patience, sometimes too much. I am very patient about these things because I have similar alarms most months of the year. Like when I was woken up at 3AM in the morning a couple years ago, by a loud thunder clap that I mistook for an earthquake. I scrambled out of bed and underneath the doorway. Then I realised it was just that the lightning was directly overhead and I slinked back to bed. Another time was when I had a dream and thought that it was for real.
Have you heard John Denvers "Annie's Song"? THAT is almost as graceful as Amazing Grace and a great song for lovers, if you ever get back on that track.
How is Madame Pele today?

Rob, boot your Yahoo messenger! I can IM you from there and have added you to my list of contacts. I am Kilauea83 there, and left you an offline message just in case you checked in. I stayed up until you emailed me. I could not sleep before you did so! We were online simultaneously! Different days, but at the same moment in time. Amazing, isn't it!
Annie's Song is so lovely, I have chills thinking about how beautiful it is and how it makes my heart soar. Mme Pele is still doing that same flow and has quiet background quakes generated by the movement of magma. She is Purring, in other words!
Hugs to you, too! Especially in those nighttimes when things get larger than life and you react as best your instincts tell you. Been there and done exactly the same thing from a simultaneous thunder and lighning hit. I guess with all the disaster preparedness and NZ's underfunded civil defense that you ranted about elsewhere, I was bracing for the worst. Thanks for being so understanding. You are indeed, very special!
