ALERT: Why did the USGS take almost all the USA Seismic Servers offline?!

only 3 working at the time of this post

Hmmmmm. NOAA radars were down for 1-2 days last week too.

is right...

so it begins...

Perhaps network problems is to blame?

This is the one that I'd like to see:

Another thread on here somewhere about EBS systems going off (not offline but broadcast) as well.

they are getting ready to do another explosion - didn't they do this last night during the first explosion too?

You are paranoid.

How long?

Did you just notice this NINrez?

Closest operating - Waverly, TN

I first noticed it offline last night

That's a bit disconcerting.

not paranoid, just observant

Keep up the GREAT work that you do.

budget cuts limit maintenance/update of equpiment & some piece of it fails

No, she isn't.
This is Odd.
Consider this:

"Not counting the other states, but this could be a real epic disaster.
And the water released after the blowing of levees at new Madrid fault, would cause a tremendous sinkhole and a possible man-made earthquake by sudden liquefaction and rearranging of underground layers, specially over-exposed by previously natural gas extraction.
This is nasty.
Very Nasty.
If this is true, is a definitely orchestrated disaster.
Specially knowing the vulnerability of New Madrid Fault line.
You are talking about thousands of deaths, just in the absurd justification of saving a lil town on Illinois (1 mile per 2 mile extension) from flooding.
This will have a political cost also.
Obama will need to step down before elections if they blow up the levees tonight.
All the Osama bin Laden stuff will be eclipsed by this.
You are messing with a wall of water of 60 feet high, very powerful water flow!
If anyone don't know what is insanity, you will have a glimpse today"

^^^ Extracted from this thread: Thread: <> BREAKING NEWS <> Mississippi River overflow about to destruct all the levees on Atchafalaya River barrier <> List of towns at ris (Page 8)

this is not from the equipment failing though
the equipment that records seismic events is located all over the country. They would not all go bad at the same time
if it was a site issue, then there would not be even one of the recordings being posted, and there is

what awesome timing!

they should unpin some bs and pin this.

we can see here it is not a site issue
they are posting the seismic readings from around the world with no issues
[link to aslwww.cr.usgs.gov]

USA readings are the ones not appearing

This shows that it is a deliberate act of taking these offline

+1, five stars, and a pin suggest. and some unpin suggests for crap still pinned.

YCM

agree

The only thing I can conclude, NiN is the Mississippi.

NOAA radars went down right at the beginning of the tornado outbreak, if I remember correctly. EBS alerts going off in areas with zero weather today (Massachusetts, Washington state, from the threads I've seen so far). The ShakeOut scheduled 4/28 was never reported on AT ALL, and now this...

It's time.

I have been watching the EBS threads as well
here is just one of them
Thread: Emergency Broadcast System Test...2 in last 45 minutes

and why no reports on the shakeout?

DANGER DOOM!!!!!!!!!!

great catch NIN
