STRONG MOTION DETECTOR NOW INSTALLED IN HORSETHIEF CANYON
The USGS installed a strong motion detector in Horsethief Canyon
at my house on 3/15/2012.
When a significant quake occurs nearby (about 3.5 magnitude or greater), the
detector is triggered. You can track all triggered events
by visiting the USGS site that monitors the data. The station name is Q0038 .

Live Quake Cam if you want to see an old drum and pen seismograph - live !!
Use this equation to calculate approximate distance to the
quake: 8.4 x T where T is the difference
in arrival times between the P-Wave and the S-Wave. So if T was 24
seconds, 8.4 x 24 = 201 km away.
