Seismic Vibrations Recorded in Learning Studio Hallway

IslandWood, Bainbridge Island, WA (Updated Every Hour)

This snapshot shows the activity on the seismograph in the Learning Studio hallway. We have a lot of background noise at times.  We're trying to find out what causes it - waves in the sound, wind in the trees, etc. Scroll down to see an example of what an earthquake will look like.

Suggestions on reading it:

1. The bottom line shows the most recent info.  It takes one hour for the graph to move from the left side to the right side of the screen.  This picture is updated every ten minutes, so if you're looking for an earthquake you felt, and it's not on the screen, check back in a few minutes.

2. When the graph reaches the right, all are pushed "up" one row.  Each row represents one hour - the full screen shows the past 24 hours.

An earthquake will look like the one in the image below.  As we see interesting ones, we'll post them on this site.  The other stuff you see - blips that last a few seconds or only a couple of minutes, are probably people in the hall jumping to see if they can register on the chart, or bumping the case, etc.
