The initial quake could of been from anyplace it was odd to be until you pointed out California had a sizable quake.
Steve, on a regular drum recorder, you are correct, that would be a good signature for harmonic. However on a webicorder that is just a response to the large quake.
My prediction on the restart sucked...lol
You know what is strange Steve, is that the YMR did not record the S wave at all. The other recorders all had the signature to some degree recorded quite well?
Godzilla, what is your take on that?
