quake count in us up 400 overnight

[pyrangello]

I usually check the quake count every morning just like I look at the weather, for years the count stayed steady at 500-750 at any given time in a 7 day period, but in the last 12 months theres been many eratic spikes like a swarm of bees hitting the field. Well this morning it is at 1408 and it was close to a thousand yesterday. So it may be something or it may be nothing and I'm gonna have to check the moon status too, So stay tuned............

Hi Pyrangello, Just curious what website do you get the count info on. I live in California - not in an active earthquake zone when you consider a fault map of Calif looks like a road map - and I check out the USGS earthquake site daily, just to see what's going on.

What I have noticed is the small, but consistent activity around the New Madrid fault in the past few months. Also seems to be more than usual quakes in Canada - 4.1 today near Quebec. Just observations, but I would love to know where you get your count. Thanks, Ba-ba-Ra

Here is a screen-shot of the one I use. It's real-time, from USGS, and it's a Gadget on my Google Homepage so I can always monitor it.

BTW, the current count is approx. 30 to 40 higher than I normally see!

WOW! Funny that you should start this thread, pyrangello. MINDANAO, PHILIPPINES just got hit with three quakes - a 7.3 and two 7.4's- all within an hour time-frame!

If we could monitor the PTB as comprehensively as they monitor us, I wonder what the data would reveal. As likely as these pattern shifts in quake activity are 'natural' is that they are 'not'.

If only we could have our own N.S.A. / GOOGLE neuronetwork and watch ALL the data shifting about at the same time. - Like, surges of electrical power consumption or clusters of communication categories, and do it all in real time along with the USGS data.

Wishful thinking , I know.
