One of the entries lost when my host moved Athenamama over to the new server dealt with the U.S. Geological Survey website’s Real-time Forecast of Earthquake Hazard. Since we have been having a couple tremors here and there, I thought it might be appropriate to resurrect this lost entry.
Having lived in California all of my life, I am used to earthquakes. The one thing you can count on about an earthquake is that you never know when one is going to hit.
Or can you?
The Real-time Forecast of Earthquake Hazard in the Next 24 Hours site at the U.S. Geological Survey Earthquake Hazards Program Website estimates the probability of an earthquake from the known faults and the earthquake history in a specific region.
Scientists say that it’s not designed to predict when the big quake will happen but instead where and how big the aftershocks will be.
I just like the pretty colors of the map.
