I figure you all know about the 4.7 earthquake that rattled the LA area yesterday.Do you know about the "Did You Feel It?" page from the USGS Volcano website?
Click here to see how many people went to this page and reported having felt the quake. Apparently several thousand people reported to the USGS “Did you feel it?” page within twenty minutes of the earthquake.
Several maps show the intensity felt and the location of each "reporter." Fun to see if the maps indicate the location of the epicenter!
So, next time you feel a quake, go to this page and report what you felt!
And be sure to visit if you know a quake has occurred. Show your students what's going on in the World of Quakes!
