A magnitude 8.1 quake hit the Solomon Islands on April 2 (April 1 UTC), causing 54 fatalities, and another magnitude 8.1 event occurred east of the Kuril Islands (Russia) on Jan. 13. Because of the sparse population on those islands, there were no casualties and only minor damage occurred, showing that the location of the earthquake is as important as magnitude in determining how destructive it might be. The largest earthquake of the year in the U.S. was a magnitude 7.2 event which struck the Andreanof Islands of Alaska on Dec.18 (Dec. 19 UTC). Because of the sparse population of the islands, no damage or casualties occurred. The largest quake in the contiguous U.S. was a magnitude 5.4 event that struck near Alum Rock, Calif. on Oct. 30 (Oct. 31 UTC) and caused slight damage in the San Jose area. It was felt in a wide area of central and northern California. Although it is very unusual to have four earthquakes in a single year of magnitude 8 or greater (the average is one), there have been only 13 events this year in the magnitude 7.0 to 7.9 range, compared to an average annual number of 17. The USGS's National Earthquake Information Center locates about 30,000 earthquakes per year worldwide, or about 80 per day. About 10,000 of those events have magnitudes of 4.5 or greater. Several million earthquakes occur in the world each year, but many go undetected because they occur in remote areas or have very small magnitudes. For its worldwide earthquake monitoring, the NEIC relies on the 138-station Global Seismographic Network, which is jointly supported by USGS and the National Science Foundation and operated by USGS in partnership with the IRIS Consortium of universities. ......" how about just those over 5.0 with in the last 7 days..... http://earthquake.usgs.gov/eqcenter/recenteqsww Update time = Thu Jan 31 0:29:18 UTC 2008 MAG UTC DATE-TIME y/m/d h:m:s LAT deg LON deg DEPTH km Region MAP 5.2 2008/01/30 23:48:10 -13.762 167.133 227.8 VANUATU MAP 5.1 2008/01/30 17:55:41 -6.289 129.597 26.7 BANDA SEA MAP 5.5 2008/01/30 12:48:34 -0.197 125.065 79.0 MOLUCCA SEA MAP 5.3 2008/01/30 11:26:33 -7.381 127.800 10.0 KEPULAUAN BARAT DAYA, INDONESIA MAP 5.0 2008/01/30 10:29:23 -42.707 -74.110 26.8 ISLA CHILOE, LOS LAGOS, CHILE MAP 6.2 2008/01/30 07:32:48 -7.324 127.753 42.4 KEPULAUAN BARAT DAYA, INDONESIA MAP 5.0 2008/01/30 01:13:14 -2.036 68.102 10.0 CARLSBERG RIDGE MAP 5.1 2008/01/29 20:02:28 49.759 83.507 29.9 EASTERN KAZAKHSTAN MAP 5.6 2008/01/29 14:57:26 -58.700 -25.200 35.0 SOUTH SANDWICH ISLANDS REGION MAP 5.0 2008/01/28 21:46:21 -5.105 151.633 144.6 NEW BRITAIN REGION, PAPUA NEW GUINEA MAP 5.2 2008/01/28 10:31:25 -27.819 -176.551 29.3 KERMADEC ISLANDS REGION MAP 5.1 2008/01/28 04:05:14 49.678 155.830 51.5 KURIL ISLANDS MAP 5.2 2008/01/26 17:59:50 -2.915 -80.277 64.3 NEAR THE COAST OF ECUADOR MAP 5.9 2008/01/24 22:29:53 -6.054 146.723 31.0 EASTERN NEW GUINEA REG, PAPUA NEW GUINEA MAP 5.2 2008/01/24 20:04:16 -0.153 124.043 107.9 MOLUCCA SEA MAP 5.3 2008/01/24 12:03:40 -3.949 101.599 35.0 SOUTHERN SUMATRA, INDONESIA MAP 5.8 2008/01/24 04:12:14 7.004 -82.384 10.0 SOUTH OF PANAMA there have been about 300 earth quakes in California with in the last 7 days..... there have been over 680 in the United States during the past week.... and one with in the last hour in California, and one north and east of Australia at a 5.2 with in the last hour.... even from two years ago, it seems the numbers and the magnitudes are increasing.... mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion, we should also be looking at floods, tornadoes, drought, famines, etc. All of these are happening more and more frequently. you are right, the number of "COLD WEATHER" tornadoes has increased over the years, from what I have seen, and they have become more destructive in recent years as well...... this year they have even been killers... floods, from excessive rains, short spells, have done more damage too. ice storms, we have had two major ones in 11 months, where people were with out power for extended periods of time, things unheard of before.... it is getting weird out there...... things are going tooooooooo fast..... so much field to harvest and the day is coming to an end, with so few workers harvesting...... mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
