[Errant]

I've updated the chart I made of the number of mag 5+ quakes to include '12 and '13 (est.). Notice anything odd in how the last two years stack up against the previous years?

This is the "what if the last two year's data is off by mag -0.2" chart below:

Collaborating evidence that something is askew with the USGS magnitude data, IMO, is the increasing number of earthquakes, which seem to be awakened by large earth earthquakes?

Thanks for those charts and the ping!
