Earthquake Monitoring Website

[Silent Bob]

Hi all,

Going to place another thread with a website that helps monitor earthquake tremors. Might be great for those who live along the West Coast, OK-Tex Border, along the New Madrid fault line and those who are actively concerned about the Yellowstone lately.

Reports have been up and down all month about the Yellowstone. For me a little concern because my brother in law lives near Bozeman.

Figure it might help those interested in Earthquakes. When I was stationed on Okinawa back in 93, I attended a weekend Earthquake course that was taught at the University of Maryland program. Since Asia has a bunch of seismic tremors, it made it all the important to understand them. Especially, with the threat of Tsunami's, at the time, my wife and I didn't have children, daughter was born later in the year and we had lost our son early that year, so when I wasn't deployed or training, I took courses to keep my mind off things. So I've always been interested in seismic stuff, now that my wife works for an oil company, they use seismic radar and Xrays to find oil for flacking. The UofM course had even access to a computer program that showed us all the seismic activity in the Pacific, it was at the time really cool. Have to remember that internet was still in its infancy, so much of this was on some university share drive. I spent a few hours after class playing around and doing some interesting stuff with the report program. Got an "A" in the course, one of the easiest ones I ever had, but made more easy because I just enjoyed the material and the professor knew what he was talking about. So this site was something, I thought might be beneficial for all.

On a side note, I guess people really didn't put their vote down on the canteen thread, so based on the input made by all, its looking like metal water containers has the nod.

Have a great Easter Jim!
