Could the Sumatra earthquakes have caused this?
But the seismic activity looks even higher than the one after Japan's earthquake on march 11 2011 seen here:

And definitely very different from any "normal" day:

Any thoughts?

i just know that i'm dreaming about earthquakes a lot in these weeks,i hope that those are only dreams!

All the above graphs are showing the SAME earthquake(s) recorded at different places with a time delay corresponding to the distance to the hypo/epicenter.

To illustrate, from the boxing day, Sumatra earthquake:

That's the man. I was actually kind of hopping that YOU would comment :)

Thanks a lot. Any idea why the activity seems more intense than the one after Japan's quake?

Mother Earth is having some labor pains. Sending some comfort and love to her now.

Normally you would expect the graph futhest away from an earhquake to show less activity--- this is not the case and its been full earth shaking since the Indonesian quakes. That may have started it but dont see that it would have been the only cause.
This level of total earth vibration seemsto becoming more frequent rather than a very rare event.

The Japan EQ kept being "inflated" beyond recognition to justify the size of the tsunami... my take.

It also depends on how the seismographs are tuned as well as the type of seismogaph. If you checked the El Hierro thread, the CHIE (El Hierro) barely records a wiggle whereas the La Gomera one got saturated but not the Lanzarote one (see this post (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?30888-Tirelessly-updating-Avalon-on-the-El-Hierro-eruption.&p=465231&viewfull=1#post465231) and following ones).

There is no such thing as only dreams :)

we may be in for the poo . I never seen the earth shake like this.
