Please remember to support my work with donations. I am also trying to get enough donations so I can buy new Raspberry shake seismometers since my current hardware is out of date and is now difficult to maintain. Thanks for the support. 🙂

I was quite surprised to see a green star exactly here, it will be interesting to see whether this little flurry continues.
Another one at a more familiar place also.
