This earthquake is not reported by USGS

:huh: error?

A magnitude 6.1 earthquake near Jasper, Dubois County, Indiana, USA, was reported only 29 minutes ago by Italy's National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV), considered the main national agency that monitors seismic activity in this part of the world.

Apparently it was a very deep located earthquake - 298 miles down.

We got woken up at 4am this morning by this in Northern Australia. At first I thought that my dog was rattling the bed with her scratching so I told her off but the rattling kept going for a bit longer and then it dawned on me what it was.
We get little tremors every now and then from earthquakes in Indonesia but this one was pretty big for us and seemed to go for a long time.
Considering we are more than 500 nautical miles (900km) from the quake it must have been a pretty big one. I did lay awake and wonder if 'this was it' but then decided I was pretty happy where I was and fell back asleep :-D:zzz:

Thank you for the video, michaelrc! I thought it was very interesting information about earthquakes and why earthquakes in the East are much more devastating than in the West of the USA. I liked the natural history bit as well as the world history part of it. I don't know whether it was symbolic or not, but I thought it was interesting that there were scores of earthquakes with a big one just (only a few years) after the old colonies (Spain and France) had left the area.

Also, learning more about liquefaction was really good and if I remember it correctly this is the same reason why these earthquakes in the north of the Netherlands create quite a bit of damage, even if the tremors are quite small and not very deep.
