WSDOT's Earthquake Simulation

WSDOT has created a very cool earthquak simultion for Seattle's Alaskan Way Viaduct.

Enjoy!

California Earthquake Swarm

In the past few days, the Salton Sea area of southern California has been experiencing an earthquake swarm - with a few quakes as large as the mid-4's on the Richter Scale. With this swarm comes an increased probability of a large quake on that section of the San Andreas fault. A large quake in this area could effect Yuma and western Arizona - especially if it ruptured from north to south. The Arizona Geology blog has a good write-up about it.

In other geology news, there is a huge volcanic eruption going on at Redoubt in Alaska. There are good updates at the Eruptions blog and the AVO.
