M3.9 earthquake hits Montreal

Article


I think the Canadians had it at M4.5, but the USGS puts it down to an M3.9.  That's more likely since there appears to be no significant PGV.  This was just a damp squib!

It's at a beautiful spot, right at the triple junction of the failed rift.  This area is capable of producing large earthquakes, and Montreal won't take it very well, what with all the Mafie concrete.

Pyjama Relay

Another crazy video from the lake regatta.


Oklahoma M3 earthquake


As I have discovered, they have stopped injecting under Dallas, and I suspect they stopped doing it under the Okie City.  This earthquake is a bit interesting to me, since it is along the NW megathrust line, and continues the pattern of being a response to the activity in the outer aftershock zone.

With injection stopped, there is not much interest for this zone, and soon all the little squares will fade away, which was the situation before injection.  The wicked thought comes that if they are still injecting under the red square, we should see a new flare.
