That happens often from what read. Maybe because it was out in the ocean six miles deep. I wonder if it damaged any of the drilling platforms (if there are any in the area). That's all we'd need is another massive crude oil leak like the infamous BP one on April 2010!

I can't find this on any USGS site. Can someone post the USGS site showing this EQ?

National Weather Service also tracks them to a point. Also USGS posts all data linked up to Intellicast also. Intellicast even has a geological event tracking overlay on the interactive maps.

SO you can track the earthquake during the blizzard as the hurricane hits to end the massive drought in your area.
