This is pretty cool. Glad to see SVS products are being used for good research purposes

LOL the California School of Seismology sounds so legitimate.

Having lived in California the majority of my life, I didn't even question that! LOL.

Could very well have been true lol.

Doubters gonna doubt. I've been doing that same research at my house with a PB13U for some time. The dogs and cats, and sometimes the Mrs, are convinced NC has a fault every bit as active as the San Andreas.

We may not be as active, but between here and the fracking in Oklahoma, tornadoes are not our only concern!

I live in a very active seismological zone here in Ottawa but its all very small. The biggest one we had was a 4.7 a few years back...

How many watts did you use to power that and what brand sub was it I haven't heard of Richter scale being used to measure subs before but seems like a nice idea!

There's a thread on AVS about using the VibSensor app to measure tactile sub aspects....

Yeh, but do they pay homage to the subtle irony of April Fool's Day?
