This event was CENSORED from the USGS and BGS feeds!!! Full website post with screenshots of the dormant volcano where this censored 5.5M earthquake occurred:

Clearly an old dormant volcano resides at this earthquake epicenter. I find it odd that the USGS, and British Geological Survey literally ignored the event.

Are they scared the public may panic? Are they lazy, not wanting to answer any questions? Are they trying to keep activity at volcanoes hush hush?

What is the reason for their censorship of scientific data. It better be a good one, whatever it is, last time I checked it is a SCIENCE SCANDAL to skew or "under report" data everyone expects to be uncensored."

"The whole north western corner of Ardnamurchan contains a complex of underground volcanic structures, often described, perhaps inaccurately, as a caldera. These originate from a 55 million-year-old volcanic complex. Relatively small areas of lava that were ejected onto the surface are found in some parts of the peninsula. At least seven other similar complexes of the same tectonic episode are dotted up the west coast of Britain, and these are popular sites for many university geological training courses. Geological research is continuing in the area. The sub-concentric rings of the volcanic complex can easily be seen in satellite photographs and topographic maps, though they are less obvious on the ground."

They are fracking the life out of various areas here in the Lancashire area, on the west coast at the moment. I wonder has this contributed to the quake? There was a large one in Blackpool a year or two back, which many people feel correlated with the starting of fracking recently commencing in that area.

Well, let's just unpack this shall we? A magnitude 5.5 tremor in that location would be felt very widely across western Scotland and Northern Ireland and not something that could be ignored by the British Geological Survey, the public or the media. (The UK gets tremors above magnitude 5 every decade or so. Unusual, but not unheard of.) It will be seen from the British Geological Survey website (http://www.earthquakes.bgs.ac.uk/earthquakes/home.html) that they didn't ignore this one!

Presumably we all know there are dozens of amateur seismologists across the UK with their own sensitive measuring equipment? So how come their forums have not been buzzing about it? Possibly because it was actually only a magnitude 2.4, and in the last 50 days there have been 10 UK earthquakes between magnitude 0.7 and 3.1. Nothing unusual it seems.

There are a number of extinct volcanoes in Scotland (Edinburgh Castle is built on one) so it's quite likely that some quakes will occasionally occur near these. A correlation but not a causation.

Another thing the quoted website got wrong was the time: 0715 not 1915 UTC.

This is all really easy stuff to check...

No data on emsc website, no earthquake found..... Nothing on British Geological Survey....

Most mysterious!

Tobermory
Tobermory Scotland hit by 5.5. earthquake
Posted on October 9, 2014 by Admin
Tobermory in Scotland has been hit by a 5.5. mag earthquake at 7.15pm GMT this evening according to RSOE EDIS.



There is no further information other than a preliminary report and and has yet to be reviewed by a seismologist.

We will keep you posted of any updates and verification as soon as possible.

UPDATE:

After researching all the info above and wondering what was going on, I decided to contact the British Geological Survey in their Edinburgh office and spoke with David Galloway and he answered all of my questions.

He asked where I got my information from after I gave him all the details above and he was searching the EMSC site while we were talking, I directed him to the RSOE EDIS site, which he had never heard of before, he was surprised to see the information listed.

While we were talking I did mention the information had now been removed from the EMSC map, (as above).

The ‘official’ line is that there was no Tobermory earthquake.

Yeah, bit of a bummer that isn’t it?

The quake maps are automatically generated giving a preliminary report until a review is done by a seismologist.

So after the review was done, it was calculated that there was no earthquake, hence the reason all the information has now been removed, except from the RSOE EDIS map.

I asked David could he explain why a 5.5. quake would register on the maps, he explained that sometimes large earthquakes from elsewhere can be picked up miles away and the shockwave can be misreported or mislocated as a quake, which appears to have happened in Tobermory. (I do hope I got that right)

I asked David if it was possible that this happened due to the continuous quakes in Iceland and the Bardarbunga volcano activity and he said it probably was.

Apparently it does happen....

So it was a false-positive report.

David assured me that if indeed there had been a 5.5. quake in Scotland he would be talking with reporters and certainly wouldn’t be discussing it with me and so he was quite happy for me to publish his name as he was confident in saying there was “no earthquake in Tobermory”.

So, I can only apologise for last night’s report and I have left all the info above as a matter of record.

Although, I’m not entirely to blame, the seismologists seemed to take a while in their review and the info wasn’t removed quick enough from the maps.

So I hope this clears everything up and stop any wild ‘conspiracy theories’ from circulating, but it wouldn’t do any harm just to keep an eye on it would it?

And another thing ;) There's nothing about this 'quake in Scottish local media.

God knows precious little happens up there in western Scotland and I would have expected it to be front page news on the 'Oban Times' or 'Dunoon Observer and Argyllshire Standard'. But nothing.

To all those who say the media have obviously been silenced, well how come nothing on twitter or facebook ether? Have all these Scotish users been silenced too? Very odd...

The only reference I could find was on http://hisz.rsoe.hu/alertmap/site/index.php?pageid=seism_index&rid=437512 which said "Notice! This is a computer-generated report - this event has not reviewed by a seismologist!"

And as already mentioned, that exact info is repeated on the alternative news media website Maria Muir.com complete with the "Notice".

It looks to me that it was just a very minor earthquake that for some reason got 'bigged up' by the OP video. It wasn't 'suppressed', just not as great as reported and not worth mentioning by anyone, probably because no one actually felt it!

Perhaps we should be more critical of such reports and do a little lateral thinking about such stories? After all, we're supposed to be more thoughtful and sceptical of what we read than the sheeple - aren't we...?

Before the seismologist report - it went onto many sites before being 'downgraded' to supposedly 'false readings'. So one cannot blame those who are vigilant reporting such anomalies, and thanks to those who are diligent to follow it through to the BGS site. Off to ask my friends in Barra if they were shaken or stirred!!! It was too deep to be noticed really. The OP referred to (Dutchsinse) has a great record of EQ monitoring, and we should be grateful of these folk who warn us of whatever comes our way. Rather get it right 90% of the time, rather than zero warnings.

Yes, a fair point.

Nevertheless, we should be exercising our critical thinking skills (a lost cause if ever there was one!) if for no other reason than to help the less experienced from going down the wrong rabbit holes.

Artistic brains tend to jump to conclusions, and logical (mathematical types) brains can be too tardy to react...., so we need the happy medium (this is not an insulting comment - it's what I have been 'told' and experienced over many years)! Happily, these threads create a more-or-less harmonious balance, so that we can all draw some sensible conclusions in the end (if there is ever an 'end') :)

Onward and upward - great minds eventually will think alike ;)
