Seismic waves from Japan roll across Arizona


The AZGS-run broadband seismic network recorded the M8.9 earthquake in Japan today. Here is a screen shot of the seismic waves rolling across Arizona from our station near the North Rim of Grand Canyon.

Also, Lisa Linville at Northern Arizona Univ. has multiple seismograph images up on the Groundswell ("AZ Shakes") blog from other Arizona instruments. [below, AISN station CCAZ, 44 miles NE of Flagstaff, AZ]
