RECENT LARGE WORLDWIDE (TELESEISMIC) EARTHQUAKES
RECORDED WITH MY SEISMOMETERS HERE IN HAWAII.
(click thumbnails to enlarge)
The latest Great quake, the 8.2 Kuril Islands event on 01/13/07 which generated
a tsunami "watch" here in Hawaii. It was cancelled about 2 hours later but did manage to
cause a 5 inch tidal disturbance.
The second largest great quake I have recorded to date, the 8.7 undersea
earthquake off the west coast of Northern Sumatra on 03/28/2005.
This event was just southeast of the great 9.15 quake, but thankfully did not generate another
killer wave.
The largest great quake in the world in the last 40 years, the catastrophic 9.15 undersea
earthquake off the west coast of Northern Sumatra on 12/26/2004. Tsunami waves
of 60 feet (20 meters) high were reported on the nearest shorelines. This quake caused the worst
tsunami disaster in history.
