    Well a 4 is 10 times the amplitude and 32 times the energy released by a 3. According to this calculator on the USGS site a 3.9 is 1.584 times bigger than a 3.7 and is 1.995 times stronger (energy release).

    A magnitude 4.5 would be 4 times bigger and about 8 times stronger than a 3.9. So yeah, let's hope we topped out with this one.

    One that struck in Croatia yesterday - not sure if it was the main one or an aftershock - was caught on camera in the video below -



    I wonder if KWCH captured something this morning on their cameras on their early morning news. I checked their site and they had a story only so maybe there's no video.

    KGS is now showing it on there website as a 3.9.

    However, they are showing it centered about 1/4 mile east of Greenwich Road and 1/4 mile South of Central.

    Magnitude wise KGS and USGS seem to always vary a few miles in location. Not sure why that is.

    My colleague at work said she felt the quake in Rose Hill.

    According to USGS a 3.8, 5km deep located on Rock Road, a quarter mile south of 13th street (east edge of Wichita Country Club). About 3 miles from my house.

    KGS not reporting this one yet. Right now showing a 2.0 on the north edge of Town East about 20 minutes after the aforementioned shake. I did not feel that. Not sure how they could miss the much bigger shake 20 minutes earlier.

    KGS called one at 5:23 AM. Well, I know they're full of crap, unless there was a second one that I didn't feel and are not listing the bigger one yet. Strange.

    USGS says 3.8 at 5:04 AM as @ Triticum aestivum L. said.


    Add: KGS has 17 quakes in Wichita since this started. USGS has 22 just over the last 30 days.

    Oh yeah. 3.8, strong in Andover. Others have just been loud, this one was shaky too.
