paulb Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 http://www.earthquakes.bgs.ac.uk/helicorder/heli.html possably not much to worry about the earth is getting old so like the rest of us it creaks at its joints check the short period graph.3.3 shakes it all over the place. the little wiggles could be anything even somebody jogging.

breeksy Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Could the lines (which have been getting steadily worse through the day) not be related to the wind? Thats also been getting worse through the day.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostrider 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. If you think that one looks worrying, don't look at the graph for the "Very long period" on the "Component" drop down menu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilslavaken Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 There are hundreds of earthquakes a day, worse than this tiny little cough, and yet some people, NO NAMES, who are slightly over reacting. Yes it is not common to have a 3.3 tremor in Shetland but that is nothing to the ones in the Southern Hemisphere. Just a comment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifi Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 I'm just thinking that it's great, all these people wanting to build hooses on top of Ronas and Collafirth. I can see the headlines - Massive Influx to Northmavine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spokeshave Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 There are hundreds of earthquakes a day, worse than this tiny little cough, and yet some people, NO NAMES, who are slightly over reacting. Yes it is not common to have a 3.3 tremor in Shetland but that is nothing to the ones in the Southern Hemisphere. i don't think it was anything in comparison to earthquakes in the northern hemisphere either i'm fairly sure we all know it was a thing of nothing, but it did happen here, so i think were within our rights to say "ooooo, shetland earthquake!", and the first thing i thought when it happened, after "whit da f**k wis yun?", was about the storegga slide, which i don't think was a ridiculous overreaction, admittedly i went back to sleep straight afterwards, but for a few minutes there i WAS concerned Just a commentaren't they all?

Rizzo Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 I was up, working at the computer, the wind had gotten up and at first I thought it was thunder or the wind rumbling and vibrating my house in Lerwick. The noise got louder and then my furniture started to vibrate. The furniture only shook for about 5 seconds, but I knew it was an earthquake and checked the time, 5.33am. I sat a bit bemused for a minute then thought nothing more of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
