Far out… I was just there on Sunday (blog entry coming). There has been a swam of 5 earthquakes near Julian, just down the road from us here at Temecula.

This is why I am glad to be part of the… Continue reading Seismic waves visualized.
Seismograph – Part 4

I (thankfully) don’t have any screenshots of that trace. Trust me, it was totally and completely unusable. Next I tried the… Continue reading Seismograph – Part 3
