What on earth are they on about? Invisible earthquake in Scotland.



Ok, I'm deeply annoyed. I do not understand this, and I hate not understanding something. This Times Online article is all hipped up about a 3.5 earthquake that they claim happened in Scotland on dec. 26th, near Lockerbie. Ok, I don't want to doubt them, but... Neither the USGS nor the IRIS have this earthquake showing up on them. So it's very annoying. I don't understand! I am filled with rage and bafflement!

OK, the damn thing is still not showing up on IRIS or USGS, very suspicious, but I did find this, so I am less rage-y and baffled. Still don't see why its not showing up anywhere else though.
