Erdbebendaten von verschiedenen Agenturen im Vergleich
Info: Je mehr verschiedene Agenturen das gleiche Beben angeben, desto verlässlicher sind die Daten und umso genauer kann man einen Mittelwert zu Magnitude, Tiefe etc ableiten. Es dauert normalerweise einige Stunden, bis die seismischen Daten präzise ausgewertet worden sind und die Angaben zuverlässige Präzision besitzen. Dies führt oft dazu, dass Magnitude und andere Daten in den ersten Stunden immer wieder nach oben oder unten korrigiert werden.

PA USA (15847 km NNE of epicenter) [Map] / Very weak shaking (MMI II) : Went to sleep at 10 p.m.EST. in an upstairs bedroom. I fell deeply asleep after a long day for a few hours, when I felt a very deep but significant shaking that lasted for a short time. In my mind I knew it was a significant earthquake though I didn't rouse to full consciousness. In the morning when I searched for local quakes, I came up with nothing at all especially around 12 am. EST when I was pretty sure it had happened. I know it seems unlikely perhaps, but I'm pretty convinced I felt this
