"A DESTRUCTIVE WIDESPREAD TSUNAMI THREAT DOES NOT EXIST BASED ON
HISTORICAL EARTHQUAKE AND TSUNAMI DATA.

HOWEVER - THERE IS THE SMALL POSSIBILITY OF A LOCAL OR REGIONAL
TSUNAMI THAT COULD AFFECT COASTS LOCATED USUALLY NO MORE THAN A
FEW HUNDRED KILOMETERS FROM THE EARTHQUAKE EPICENTER. AUTHORITIES
IN THE REGION NEAR THE EPICENTER SHOULD BE MADE AWARE OF THIS
POSSIBILITY."

already a thread on this yo bumhole

Anybody have any idea what the Mercalli scale is on this quake?

Yea I really don't get this: Between 3 different EQ maps, they ALL have different depths, and 2 of them have a different Magnitude. USGS being the biggest pussy of 'em all recording this at a 6.5 while others are saying 6.7. USGS also says 10kms in depth while others say 2kms. Huh!

Really? You mean the jackwagon that has everybody thinking this quake hit in the upper UK? I searched and it didn't come up so I made this thread. Something with GLP...a lot of times newer threads don't appear on searhces right away. I see your both brits so...stand and yar...

One way to know will be to watch the way the quake shows up on other seismographs. This will determine more about the strength and depth...but takes a while for the data to be processed and unless it's significant they probably won't adjust the read outs...

6.2 just followed up...too big to be an aftershock!!!???

Funny thing is that Chile has around 7 bases in the general area (within 400 Km of the epicenter) and the president of Chile was visiting there announcing the new plans for Chilean presence there. LOL.

The 6.2 follow up is listed at 14.8km deep on USGS...but on EMSC it's listed at 40km deep. SOOOOO much difference on these quakes.
