The Bigger Picture
My hobby is the observation od seismic events (earthquakes) on a weekly basis in the Intermountain West.
My normal observation is the Intermountain Corridor (Utah to Yellowstone).
During the last week the US Seismic Service recorded 26 events (22 UT, 3 MT, and one yesterday in Leadore,ID, a 2.3) all in the micro range. Utah's largest event was also a 2.3 at Trenton UT, last Wednesday.
This week I have used the map of ANSS (Advanced National Seismic System) which nicely includes my major area of interest as well as recording activity in surrounding States. This map shows 64 events for the week, another 38 more than accounted for in my area. 33 of these events (all micros) occurred along the western border of NV.
Sometime I enjoy the bigger picture when observing these natural phenomena. Somehow the maps I choose have my location nicely in the middle.
As always my intent is to observe and inform, never to alarm.
How are you bumping along in your neck of the woods?
