I noticed the PDT time, too, and double-checked before posting to make sure I had the right day and event. Guess that's the government for you. However, I'm incredibly impressed that USGS has this system so automated that they can post a location, magnitude estimate, and charts for earthquakes within two or three minutes of when they happen. Now that's cool!Brian Fieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16347700145666751363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16899684.post-59608376550978338072008-03-06T18:31:00.000-08:002008-03-06T18:31:00.000-08:00Cool!

Did you drop something heavy at 4:27?<BR/><BR/>Speaking of which time, I was flummoxed at first by the seismometer time (17:27:53) compared to your posting time... which appeared to be almost an hour <I>before</I> the 'quake happened!<BR/><BR/>Then, just as I was about to ascribe a degree of prescience to you, I noticed that the trace time is given in P<I>D</I>T. I wonder why the USGS set their clocks ahead before the rest of us are supposed to.Sherwood Harringtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09575868746160608731noreply@blogger.com
