It is possible that several earthquakes have taken place that were all of magnitude less than 1.5. Also, it takes the seismology lab time to analyze each earthquake and properly determine its magnitude. Some smaller events in the magnitude 2 range may not be posted on the list until three days after they occur. There is also the large possibility that the activity on webicorders is not seismic. Weather conditions such as wind and heavy rain will cause plenty of spikes and glitches. The instrument that is producing unusual signals may be broken. Outages in our network can last hours, days, or mon
