 KG4RRI, Brandon, who works for the UK Geological Department offers the =
following info if anyone wants to track the recent earthquakes in =
Western KY and IN.=20

 John,

The Kentucky Geological Survey is a research and
public service institute within the University of
Kentucky. Information on Kentucky earthquakes is
available at the Survey's web site, see:

http://www.uky.edu/KGS/geologichazards/geologichazards.html

(If this link is split across two lines, go to
www.uky.edu/kgs then click on the Geologic Hazards
icon in the upper right.)

Of more immediate interest, the Survey and University
maintain a network of earthquake monitoring equipment
in Kentucky. Within minutes of the June 18 earthquake,
seismograph records of the event were available
online. At the KGS Geologic Hazards page, click on the
Kentucky Seismic and Strong-Motion Network link. The
link for "real-time recordings" is in the text at the
top of the page. Click that link and choose a record.

The direct web address for the page is:

http://www.uky.edu/KGS/geologichazards/EarthquakeRecording/welcome.html

The date and time of the records is UTC. You will need
to look at the 6/18/2002 records. Look at the LOKY
(Lockhart Bluff) record. This station is a bit
northwest of Paducah. Scroll down to the 17:00 line
and then scroll to the right. The event was recorded
at about 17:37:30 UTC (1:37 EDT). You will also note
some aftershock events. Each of the horizontal lines
on the chart represents a 15-minute recording. The
color of the horizontal lines is cycled to make it
easier to track. Each of the vertical lines divides
the chart into minutes.

The Lexington record is BHKY. The event arrived at
Lexington about 17:38, 30+/- seconds after it was
recorded near Paducah. Analysis of this time
difference from several recording stations is what is
used to determine the location of the quake.

Any problems with the links or questions, email me at
the Survey, [email protected].
