Check out the Iris Seismic monitor. Dated 1/03/100. No new earthquakes recorded.

There never was an 'increase in earthquakes'.......

That fallacy was proven with detailed evidence a few times here......

Never mind.....the end-times corrupt tin-foil Biblical interpreters will continue to spew that nonsense every time the ground shakes....

that is funny...

and the date is NOT a typo!

btw, I heard there was a fairly good jolt (4.5) on the East coast yesterday.

Craig, you jumped to another conclusion. This is simply a post to point out a problem with computer glitches. Sheesh.

The page is inaccurate and not updated. NOTE THE DATE.

The no new quake data is as wrong as the date. Folks here were rocked out of their beds by a quake and no one believed it at first - we just don't get quakes here!

Jadin,

Approximate locale?

-- (RUOK@yesiam.com), January 02, 2000.

I don't know if this is the one Jadin is talking about but I saw on the news yesterday that they had an earthquake in southern Canada, just west of NY State. Something like a 4.6 on the scale if I remember correctly. This is an area that almost never has quakes.

Thanks, TECH32!

Don't forget, there was a quake New Year's Eve in the Phillipines.

EXCUSE ME !THERE WAS AN EARTHQUAKE IN ALABAMA NEAR HUNTSVILLE TODAY! IT WAS ONLY A 2.9 BUT TENNESSEE STILL FELT IT! Hasn't happened much that I know of before.

That IRIS site is definitely wrong. Doesn't even show old earthquakes, now. First time I've seen THAT. 2 days ago the map was full of circles.

-- Margaret J (janssm@aol.com), January 03, 2000.

Don't worry about it.. after all, it's just a date sorting problem... the site thinks it's been 100 years since the last quake... :-)

No earthquakes? Then have a look at this site.

-- Malcolm Taylor (taylorm@es.co.nz), January 03, 2000.

Or better still this one. Note the date for the two earthquakes near Alaska.

-- Malcolm Taylor (taylorm@es.co.nz), January 03, 2000.

I do mean the one in Southern Canada (epicenter just north of North Bay Ontario) and it was a 5.2. No one believed it was real at first because we get rock bursts from the intensive mining but this was something else!
