Another Earthquake in Louisa County.



Today at 06:39:47 PM there was a 3.2 magnitude earthquake in Louisa County, again. I was working out in the garage with my son, Ian, and neither one of us felt it. I went to the United States Geological Survey (USGS) web site to read more about the earthquake. Lousia had a smaller earthequake 2 days ago. The URL is http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/. This site is very informative. Being the techie type, I love information overload.

USGS has a real time earthquake gadget for iGoogle at http://www.google.com/ig/adde?moduleurl=earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/mapplets/earthquakes.xml&source=imag

You can sign up for the USGS Earthquake Notification Service at https://sslearthquake.usgs.gov/ens/

USGS has notifications via two twitter accounts: @USGSted and @USGSBigQuakesat. http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/ted/.

There are a ton of other services on the USGS web page. I highly recommend visiting.

For information about what to do before, during and after an earthquake go to FEMA's web page at http://www.ready.gov/earthquakes.
