A thought.

Last year Google was tracking flu outbreaks using the locations of people doing flu-related searches. They could probably track earthquakes over a certain magnitude the same way. Then they could cross-index those searches against actual geological data to figure out where secret missile tests are being conducted.

Pretty much every thought I ever have ends up leading me in the direction of trouble with the FBI.

(I thought of this because I just felt a rumble. The USGS says nothing happened, so maybe the neighbors dropped something really heavy.)

Cross-referencing FTW.

Thnx for that USGS link, I need to get into the habit of looking at it.

I assume that California is the source of 60-80% of that site's American hits.
