tokabochi 9 Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 After a fairly strong jolt yesterday, got woken by a stronger one this morning at 6:30 and had a few more since then, the strongest just 10 minutes ago at 5 chaku. It's all feeling a bit shaky right now. Link to post Share on other sites
tokabochi 9 Posted October 3, 2010 Author Share Posted October 3, 2010 BTW, I am in Tokamachi between Joetsu and Yuzawa area of Niigata. I believe the earthquakes are centering around Joetsu. Link to post Share on other sites

muikabochi 208 Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Depends on how far down it is doesn't it? If it's 100km under the earth it will be very different than if it is just 10km. That's why the most important and useful number is the "shindo" number that they get in Japan. It's basically a number that shows how powerful the shaking was on ground in different areas of town. Here's what this mornings looked like Link to post Share on other sites
Mintyjulep 0 Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Is the shindo number an idea of what magnitude it feels like, rather than the magnitude it was? All of ours recently have been really shallow - the first one was about 20km, and you could hear the roar of the quake traveling through the shingle on it's way towards you. Yuck.

Tubby Beaver 209 Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 shindo measures the amount of shaking at ground level at any point on the earth Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Nope, shindo is based on the visible reactions from the initial earthquake and ground acceleration of various levels, while magnitude is based on a logarithmic scale of power i.e. mg2 is 10x more powerful than mg1, like a mg3 is 100x more powerful than mg1 etc. So you can have a shallow earthquake, say 10kms, with mag 4, that produces shindo 5. Different results and outcomes on each scale. If your gas doesn't work after an earthquake, you know it was serious as most gas devices in Japan shut off on 5 or above. Likewise, you could have a shindo 3, that was magnitude 7 but if it was deep, and the waves dissipated quick enought, it wouldn't cause much surface shaking. Well that's what I was told from one of my 2nd university students who studies seismology. Link to post Share on other sites
