FNC is simply being their usual morons if they're eagerly expecting the USGS website to show the test.

As have people here. I can believe that some seismic detectors might pick it up, but it wouldn't be anything obvious.

jeez louise....Janice on Fox just said that the US meteorological center has reported NO seismic activity in the last 48 hours... WHY would ABC news report the 3.4 on the richter scale then??

Do we even monitor something that small here? Im not sure we could pick it up in CONUS..only foreign seismic could pick it up.

If it is under 4.0 and underground, I suspect that the yield of the weapon is not all that great. Would suspect a small fission device instead of the bigger, badder brother the H-bomb. Or, perhaps a dud? Not sure what to make of this, but the hand wrining is sure to get good ratings for cable news. IF this is a nuclear weapon with that low of a yield, to put it in perspective, it is far more symbolic than threatening.

What on earth do they need for confirmation on this. Is it seismic activity in the earth or what?! How could one confirm this is true?

[Arizona Carolyn]

We can't even get our UN Ambassador confirmed.... the world is going to he!! in a handbasket and the RINO's hold up one of the most important appointments.
