I'd say we are going to have increased activity between Oregon/northern Cali. up to British Columbia in the near future. That area seemed to trigger increased activity in those locations in the past. It doesn't mean it is a big one though, just increased activity.
The Aleutian Islands are constantly rocking and rolling. In the past week they've had quit a few 4+, and a couple of volcanoes went on oragne alert. Hopefully, a quake this big will settle things down and the mountains will go back to sleep.
Willow Alaska ( Palin's home town) had a quake of 5.1 two days ago. The area in central Alaska is getting more active each week, and the size of the quakes keep increasing. They're centered right where my son lives, so I keep a close eye on them.
It's a fairly straight forward program, open it up, click "Real-time Viewer", then after all the triangles (representing stations) fully load (not waiting for loading to finish can sometimes crash it) then (importantly) click "Edit", then "Station Chooser", then "Vertical Only" on the bottom left. This is a handy way to cut down on server bandwidth strain for the feeds, because it omits the horizontal readings (N/S, E/W) and just focuses on the vertical instead.
The zoom button helps greatly if you want to try to find a specific area's seismo(s) in the US. It also helps to zoom in when EQ circles are present around a station you want to monitor. I've locked up the program clicking on triangles within circles (you can zoom close enough to have the station's triangle outside it)
I usually run a specific set of Pacific Rim & various other stations such as Adak in the Aleutians, Chiang Mai in Thailand, Davao in the Philippines, Disney Wilderness Preserve in FL because force of habit, Erimo (Hokkaido) Japan, either Ann Arbor or Grayling in MI if I feel like it, Guam, Solomon Islands, Indonesia, Kodiak Island, Las Campanas Observatory & Limon Verde in Chile, Las Juntas de Abangares in Costa Rica, Matsushiro in Japan, Monasavu in Fiji, Nana in Peru, Otavalo in Ecuador, Petropavlovsk in Russia, Port Morseby in new Guinea, Raoul in the Kermadec Islands, Sierra la Laguna Baja California in Mexico, South Kaori in New Zealand, Taipei in Taiwan, Tepich in Mexico's Yucatan, Wrangell Island over on AK's SE, and Yuzhno Sakhalinsk in Russia. Occasionally, I also watch Nilore in Pakistan or Kabul's to see if there's any strong surprise Nepal aftershocks.
At the moment, the Willow seismo doesn't seem operational, but the one in Cooper Landing to the south is.
Thatnks, Daitengue; there hitting right under his house, but most are to little to even be felt. I just see them on EQ map.
Nyiah, that is a great site; thank you! I was not familiar with it, but I like the looks of it better than any site I've seen yet.
Overall, I think I'd rather be in the Alaskan interior durring a mega-quake than anywhere else on earth. I worried a lot more about quakes hitting Tacoma and Seattle when I had kids living there.
I'm a down-winder of Hanford, and in the Yellowstone blast zone, so if I'm going to worry about anything, it should be something important, like what I'm going to have for dinner tonight.
