Seaflech Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 I don't know if i should build on top of Ronus hill or buy a boat house Why not build a boat house on top of Ronas Hill? It would cover all eventualities, and if nothing else it would make an interesting episode of Time Team in 1000 years time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siffy Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 http://www.earthquakes.bgs.ac.uk/helicorder/heli.html The increased activity on this monitoring graph is starting to worry me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PJ of Hildisvik Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Em? top of Ronas Hill in Winter, safe from a Tsunami but won't the 170mph winds blow you back off?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostrider Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 The quake was on the Walls boundary fault near Eid. That's what I said way up there ^ Maybe it was Forvik being moved a bit further offshore so that it can claim greater mineral/oil rights. Has anybody checked today its still where it was yesterday?

j3ova Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 http://www.earthquakes.bgs.ac.uk/helicorder/heli.html what exactly does this graph mean??? It seems to be gettin bigger as the day goes on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siffy Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 http://www.earthquakes.bgs.ac.uk/helicorder/heli.html click "VIEW" Theres a heck of a lot activity on that real time data graph. I mean even edinburgh aint getting as much activity as that. Look at the graph from previous days , there is no movement in the line , and look at the activity over the last few hours.

It seems to be gettin bigger as the day goes on The graph is a time line with each line representing half an hour of time, working towards midnight at the bottom. The interruptions to the straight lines are shockwaves detected by the seismograph in Lerwick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
