We had a 2.1 early this morning.  You don't even feel those in the middle of the night, or if you are in a car or something.  You 've had lots of the ones that would keep a person nervous.  Praying for you all.

Are you charting that data yourself?  I am wondering where you get your datapoints.  Can you snag it from GeoNet?  The news site I hang out at has a google-map quake tracker for our area (NW USA), but I don't know who builds it.

This is a cool organization and they will even send you a USB sensor (currently out of stock) if you upload your data:

http://qcn.stanford.edu/

"For $49 you can purchase a USB sensor for someone else or for yourself. The sensor comes with QCN monitoring software, educational software, a USB cable, installation equipment, and instructions. Pay with a credit card using the online form or print and mail in the form with a check. NOTE: The QCN sensors are low-cost, strong-motion accelerometers, and only record moderate to large regional earthquakes, which may occur infrequently in your region."

I get the data from GeoNet http://www.geonet.co.nz which has an service which returns data in a format called QuakeML (a standard earthquake XML Feed)

I am sure other sites would also publish data in QuakeML format http://www.isti2.com/QWIDS/current_dist/QuakeML_doc/Readme.html

@wuhu, they were out of sensors when I checked back in early January too.  I wonder if more are on the way?  I did a little digging, and they use Seismic Analysis Code (SAC) format.  It looks like their datasets are available for download, I'll have to do some playing.

@iisfaq, I did a little googling, and QuakeML looks like it would be a good standard, so I added "usgs" (US Geo Survey) and "noaa" (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) to the search and it looks to me that they talked about it a lot in 2007 and 2008, but I don't see much after that.  Typical US government.  I'll have to dig some more.

I am not sure when they will have more sensors but I am sure you can figure out which one they are using and order it directly. They are pretty cheap. Then you would just download their software that is free.
