The Ugly Quacking Duck Podcast
Earthquakes Across Time: Tracking Seismic Patterns from 1999 to 2025
Bruce and Sunny explore historical earthquake data across three different time periods while discussing the limitations of AI chatbots and current weather conditions. They analyze seven-day earthquake reports from 1999, 2019, and 2025, revealing surprising patterns in global seismic activity.
• Comparison of current southern Illinois weather (81°F with 78% humidity) with Phoenix, Arizona (95°F with only 14% humidity)
• Critical discussion of AI chatbots and why "artificial intelligence" is a misleading term - they're simply pattern-matching programs
• Introduction to the seven-day earthquake tracking system with downloadable spreadsheet
• Complete analysis of earthquake data from June 22, 2025, showing 2001 total earthquakes with 302 at magnitude 2.5+
• Historical earthquake comparison showing 2019 had significantly higher earthquake activity (3157 in seven days) than either 2025 or 1999
• New percentage analysis showing how the proportion of earthquakes at different magnitudes has changed over decades
• Discussion of geographic patterns showing consistent earthquake activity in the Philippines, Japan, New Zealand and Indonesia

Hey Bruce, yes, Sunny.
:Hey, why are libraries so tall?
:Uh, because they were built that way.
:No, silly, because they have many stories. What's that sound? It is the ugly cracking duck podcast.
:Yes, sir, thank you, sunny, for that. Whatever dimension you are hearing us from, whatever time it is, you are welcome to join us for the for a few moments. Anyway, welcome to the ugly quacking duck podcast oh, I like how you did that podcast. That was pretty cool, bruce well, thank you, sonny, and I'm glad to have you here again today.
:Well, you ought to be. I'm here all the time.
:Well, I mean on the podcast.
:Oh, okay, I get it.
:Well, it is a Sunday afternoon. No, no, it's not afternoon. It's not even noon yet, good grief. I woke up, got some coffee and did my homework for the podcast, and we are recording live, which there's no other way to record. You're either alive or you're not, and if you're not, you're not going to be recording. So that's a misnomer, I guess, but we are recording our podcast episode in our midwest southern illinois studio studio.
:I like that too.
:I like everything oh, now you're just being silly.
:Yeah, I am, but I'm glad to be here. It's been two weeks since we recorded when you been.
:I've been here and there and everywhere Been working. It's been a busy week, busy time. Yeah, we just kind of let it go for two weeks. We actually kept up with the earthquake, so our report's going to be on spot, I guess we could say. But if you tuned in found us. We're going to talk a little bit about the weather first the weather first why?
:because it's hot, oh okay, yeah, so if you're from southern illinois you know exactly what I'm talking about. The weather's been pretty warm and it's been that way mostly all over the United States. They're saying it's you know, july, august, weather in June, which is kind of not common. But you know, if you go back far enough you'll find out it's common. It's just that it varies so much people don't remember. But yeah, I just kicked my plug. Okay, I'm still going. Oh boy, oh boy.
:You better watch what you're kicking. You're going to shut us off.
:I am, I really am, but anyway, yeah, the weather's been hot, muggy, very humid, burning up all that moisture in the ground that we've been getting for the last few weeks or months. Now it's looking like we're going to dry up a little bit. Around here locally, they have called for rain several times and it either just barely rained or it didn't rain at all. It went around us. Now there was tornadoes and storms, uh, in some of the states, as there has been for the past month, but for some weird reason, it's going around us and we didn't get hardly any rain this last week. Uh, we got some. What is today, sunday? Uh, saturday morning, there was a little bit come down, but it was very little and it pretty well dried up. Like I said, humidity is bad and if you're in this area, you already know that, but this is just for the people that's listening to us, it's not in this general area so they can compare their weather with ours and see what. You know what's happening, man.
:I find it interesting how you tell people about our local weather like they don't know what weather's like.
:Well, I do it because they have different weather some days and they want to compare. Plus it gives me something good to talk about.
:Okay, something good to talk about. Uh, okay.
:Anyway, let's compare this weather we're having right now with Phoenix, Arizona. I chose that city and state because it's really a different type weather compared to what we have here most of the time.
:Yeah, most of the time.
:Well, humbug.
:Well, humbug, humbug, humbug, humbug, humbug, humbug, humbug.
:Are you sure about all that, Sonny?
:No, why don't you introduce yourself, bruce, so I can.
:All right, we will do that Again. We're recording in our studio here in southern illinois and I am bruce, and with us we have our co-host yeah, I am, I'm sunny hi, sunny, hi, bruce, yeah, we, uh, we bring you podcast, uh, episodes.
:Try to do them at least every two weeks. Sometimes we get another week or weekly, but who knows. We just try to do it for sure every two weeks. And this is episode 112, and we're glad to have you aboard again.
:No matter what dimension you're listening to us from or what time zone you're in, we're here, be with us today. Oh boy, oh boy. Hey, guess what? Today, right now, it's 81 degrees and sunny. Here in our local area, the humidity is 78.
:Now we're talking some yuck. That's the type of humidity when you walk outside. You just kind of feel like you're in a shower. Um, it's just kind of damp feeling and sticky, and if you're out there very long, yep, it feels that way. Wind today is six miles an hour for now and the air quality is still good, but it's at 45 coming up there. And, uh, we're looking at phoenix according to my weather map.
:Now, I don't know, I don't have anybody locally that's emailed me or letting me know what's happening, but if you do, and you're listening to this podcast, start doing that so we'll have some actual eyewitness reports. But right now what we're seeing is it's 14% humidity at Phoenix Arizona, with 95 degrees and sunny there. They're actually getting an extreme warning from the sun, or extreme heat warning, so they're expecting a lot of heat today. Yuck, yuck, yuck, yuck. Their humidity is 14%, their wind is 2 miles an hour and their air quality is really good it's 17. That's why a lot of people, I think, want to move that to the desert, but it's 17. That's why a lot of people, I think, want to move that to the desert, but it's still hot, extremely hot, yeah, extremely extremely hey.
:What's the moon gonna do today? All right, the. What's the moon going to do today? All right, the moon. Tell us the moon.
:You're being very dramatic today.
:I'm always dramatic and you know that.
:Well, maybe so, maybe so. And sunrise was at 534 am today. Sunset's going to be at 823 pm. That's for southern Illinois Humidity. I already told you that the UV index is 9 of 11. So there must not be much cloud cover to block the UVs, so we're getting a big boost of that. Um, the moon rise will be at 10 am this morning, really. Moon set will be at 11 33 pm and it is in the waxing crescent stage, present stage. Yay, well, thank you, sonny. And that's been the weather from the local studio here at Southern Illinois.
:Hey Bruce what was all that homework you was doing earlier.
:Oh, that wasn't homework. Well, I guess it was. I was doing some background checking on our earthquakes.
:Yeah, and I seen you get the calculator out. What was that all about?
:Well, I started doing some percentages on our numbers, so we'll get to that in a few minutes.
:All right, I'm interested in your numbers. It makes you sound smart.
:I'm a long ways from that. Anybody ever hears me talk they'll know I'm a long ways from that, but thank you for that. What attitude adjustment.
:Oh, you're so welcome.
:I wish you were sincere.
:Well, you know, I am of course.
:Oh, I know something, not sure, that's what it is. You know what, sonny? I've come across a little bit of weird information about chatbots.
:Chatbots, isn't that AI?
:Well, you know they use AI, saying artificial intelligence, and I think that's a misleading name.
:Oh, you do, do you. Why do you do that or say that, or think that?
:Well, AI stimulated intelligence, that means something that is thinking and considering and on and on like that. But really they're using that to describe programs, software programs that just engulf information that's given to them and then just digest that and spits it back out. So garbage in, garbage out is what you have Anytime you have that kind of stuff. It's it's like at the beginning of the computer uses. I was around back then.
:You know I'm not saying anything, just saying that oh, you're not saying you're old, you're just saying you was around when computers got excited well, they didn't get excited, but the world got excited over computers.
:Yeah, I remember when I was in school that they had a few schools with a computer learning, training, education, however you want to put that, and those people would go to those classes and they would have these long punch cards and pencils in their pockets, every one of them that went to those classes. You know that's how they communicated with those computers and they have grown quite a bit. Grown quite a bit. Now we, you know, just type into the keyboard, send the information in or talk and give them information. Big change. But they're not artificially intelligent. They are still digesting the information given to them. For now, not saying it won't go that way, but anyway, I ran across this little article. Let me read something about it.
:Okay, large language models are sophisticated computer programs that process and generate natural language, providing the foundation for tools like OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Gemini. By finding patterns in the sequence of words and sub-words prefixes, for example in massive amounts of text, these models can predict the most likely next word in a generated sequence and repeat this prediction until the output is complete. Did you catch that little phrase? By finding patterns in the sequence of words and sub words. Then they go back and predict what's most likely next word and generate sequences and repeat this prediction until the output is complete. Ai chatbots are usually friendly interfaces that act as intermediaries between users and the LLM framework or the large language model framework. Now this is what I thought was interesting the temperature parameter. Insufficient data or inadequate training LLMs may hallucinate, generate false or misleading information. Due to the complexity nature of transformer architecture, explicitly identifying what led to the hallucination is often impossible.
:Bruce, what did you just read?
:I read what I think says that they spit out a bunch of garbage, misleading information, and they actually hallucinate. And that's not really a hallucination like we think of it, they're just misinforming and they're calling it because of temperature parameters, which affects the electronics in the machine and the transformers, and because they have inadequate training, they're not got enough and they don't have enough information to make the decision, and because they've been trained improperly. So basically, garbage in, garbage out. We're not getting artificial intelligence. We're getting answers that have predictive design to them and they're generating a sequence of that prediction over and over and over and over again.
:And you know what happens when you do something over and over again it starts getting warped. If you copy something over and over and over and over again especially if you guys remember copying the old vcr tapes well, after two or three generations they got very bad results on that last tape. That's what we're seeing and it's going to continue unless they come up with a better way of doing it. But anyway, there's no artificial intelligence. What I'm trying to tell you.
:Are you sure about that?
:I am, I am, I am.
:All right, we'll hold you to that.
:All right, but they are good at compiling information, just like in the old days at compiling information. Just like in the old days. I remember when we had new computers at work and stuff like that and they'd say these computers don't make mistakes. People putting the information in makes mistakes and reading that information coming out, you make a mistake, but the computers don't. But the computers did. Yeah, it may have been because somebody inputted the wrong information or read the information wrong when it come out, but it's still the same mistake. They're not free from making making mistakes. They're just trying to complete the mathematical formula that's been given to them and anyway they're still doing that too today.
:Didn't you just get an email from Apple, or at least a couple days ago?
:I did. Boy, you're awful sneaky looking over my shoulder.
:Oh, maybe.
:Okay, at least you admit it. Yeah, on June 26th I received an email from Apple Podcasts and it told me that Apple Podcasts are celebrating 20 years. It's a milestone and it was just a thank you for being with them, which I appreciate that I think it's pretty neat that they're still around doing podcasts Pretty cool. But that's what that email was about. Thank you for noticing, sonny.
:You're very welcome, Bruce. I like being nosy.
:I noticed.
:So when are we going to do the earthquakes, Bruce?
:Well, I'm glad you asked because I think we ought to do that now. Everybody's probably patiently waiting. Now, if you're a new listener, we do a seven-day earthquake report. We've added a few steps to that, but if you'd like to keep track of these reports so you'll have a visual of what we're talking about, go to our webpage, theuglyquackingduckcom, and there's links at the top of the page or along the left side says pages. Go to either one and click on support our podcast, and then that will bring up a page that has value for value mentioned. In it you can read about our value for value, and then it's got links to buy me a coffee.
:Support with PayPal. There's a cash app. You can click on that or not click on it, but scan it. You can help us out with cash app. Or below that, in blue, there's a button that's set at 222. A row of ducks. You can pay us with Satoshi, which is a Bitcoin portion, but what we're looking for right at this time.
:If you'll scroll down past that, it will have a spreadsheet already in view. If you'll go to the top right corner, there's a print button. Just click print. If you want to keep a downloaded, you can go to the left of the printer and just click on that and it will download it. Or there's a blue button below the drawing, the printout, or whatever you want to call it. Just click on that download button and either way it will download it so you can have an actual sheet. So if you haven't got one printed, pause this, go print one. Go print one or download it. With a certain programs you can go in and edit it so you can fill it out later. But it'd be better if you print it. That way you can keep your copies in a file and date them and see what they look like. But this is what we're going to use to keep track here on the studio of our earthquake report. So pause it, go print it and then join us again when you get it printed.
:Now, bruce, when you first started doing this, we just did the seven-day, but you've added some since then, right?
:Right, you are, I did. So what we're going to do right now we're going to go back seven days from last week. I wrote down last week's numbers, which was on the 22nd. So what we're going to do, we're going to go back seven days, on the 22nd, and give that report. So if you are ready, on your paper, you print it out where it says earthquake seven-day report. Underneath that it has a date Write in 6-22-25. So June the 22nd, we're going to do that report. And if you're ready, it says all magnitudes and that's what we start out with.
:All magnitude Seven-day report is going to be 2001. So you, in one of those boxes underneath all magnitudes right, 2001, yay, and then 2.5 magnitudes, you're going to write 302, 302 or 302, all right. And then to the right of that it says 4.5 magnitudes or over 4.5 and plus, uh, right down 97. Now what I'm just telling you is, for the last seven days there was 2001 earthquakes of all magnitudes. There was 302, 2.5 and plus magnitudes and 97, 4.5 and over magnitudes. Now the next column has 6.0 and over. So there's only one for this last report and it was in japan. So if you'll write down 6.0, that's what major ones? There's a bunch there. There was 97, 4.5 and above, which means 4.5, 4.67895, and then 512, 5.152. All those all the way up to six and over magnitudes were in that 97 count, but only one of them was 6.0 and over, and that location on the next right column, was Japan. So write Japan down. So that's what your report's going to look like. You've got the date, you've got the all magnitude number, the 2.5 number, the 4.5 number number, the 2.5 number, the 4.5 number, the 6-0 magnitude listing and the location for each one of those. So that's how you do it.
:And the next couple lines that we're going to do. I'm just going to read them out. Hopefully you followed me. If you got lost, go back and listen to it again. But we're going to move on now because I started doing something a couple weeks ago and we're going to continue it. See what it looks like.
:So what we did we went back to 2019. And I just picked a year and I don't know why I picked that one, but I did. So we went back 6-22-2019-2019. So put that in your next date underneath your 22nd, 25 date, and then I'm going to give you the seven-day report for that and you can write that down. So if you're ready, if you're not, pause, but if you're ready, I'm going to read them off to you. So the all magnitude runs 3,157. Yeah, you heard that right. For the seven-day report, 622 back, which goes back to the 15th I believe, is 3,157. The 2.5. Magnitude and above Number was 562. And the 4.5. Comes out at 226. So, although I just accidentally pulled 2019 out of the sky and started recording them numbers, it appears that year had a lot larger amounts of earthquakes. That's what our reporting has showed so far and if you go back the last couple episodes and write them numbers down, you'll have the records that I've got and you'll start seeing a pattern there.
:Now let's go to the 6.0 and over earthquakes and there were several. We're going to read them out to you and you're going to write them down right along with me. See, I'm filling out one of them sheets. I just got a notebook I wrote them all down with, but I'm filling out one of those sheets right along with you. So the first one out the door was a 6.1 earthquake yeah, 6.1, indonesia. And then the next one out the gate was a 6.2, in the Bahama region. 6.2, in the Bahama region, or the Bahama area, which is south, south of the United States. And then the next one out was a 6.3. We had one at the Crematic Islands. You're going to start hearing a lot of these same locations over and over and over again. They're all on fault lines.
:There are areas that give you a lot of earthquakes. And then there was another 6.3 in Russia. Now, russia is a big area, I realize that. So if you're familiar with Alaska, alaska has a tip that's south and it kind of leans towards the west. If you follow that point over to Russia, russia has a tip that goes south also and that area right there on the east coast of that tip is where this earthquake was. And then there was another 6.4, not another. There was a 6.4 next and it was in the Maug Island region, m-a-u-g. Maug Island region. I forgot where that was. Mog Island region I forgot where that was. I was thinking it was some of the island area above Australia. I'm not positive on that, but that's what I was thinking.
:There is a group of islands. They're called different names, but that's where you see a lot of earthquakes over the years. Like I said, they're under different names. It's according to what portion of that area it hits in. I'm trying to look the Philippines, papua New Guinea, a lot of those little islands are around that area, basically south of Japan, southeast of Japan and north of Australia. In that sea area there's all kinds of earthquakes, over and over and over again every year, and every day and every month. And the next one out of the door was another 6.4. Believe it or not, in Russia, same location again. That area is on the fault line, so we see a lot of activity there. And then one more it was 7.3 in the Banda B-A-N-D-A-C, 7.3.
:I think you made that up. What did you say that was, and where is it?
:Well, I didn't make it up. I read it off the earthquake map. It is the Banda B-A-N-D-A-C. They received a 7.3. They received the 7.3. Now, this was in 2019 on the seven-day report from 622. But the band of c is down there by indonesia, indonesia, and that area towards the west, the water towards the west of indonesia. So you go, it's right in that area. It was not made up.
:All right, I guess I'll believe you for now.
:Well, you're so sweet. Anyway, that is the report from 2019. And, like I said before, it shows higher numbers than before or the past or this year. There we go, and I chose one more year to go back to and that was 2000, or 1999. 1999. Why I chose that, I don't know.
:So let's go back and look at the seven-day report for 6-22 on that, and I gave you the wrong numbers. Holy smokes, I flubbed up on that. Well, I have to apologize. I just went over my notes and, yes, I did. I read off the wrong combination of numbers. Okay, so what we're going to do is we're going to leave the 6-22-2019, the all earthquakes, all magnitudes, which was correct at 3157. The 2.5562 is correct and the 4.5226 is correct.
:But what I did is I covered up the 6.0 and above numbers with my paper I was writing on and I read the 6-29-2019, so I jumped ahead a week. So if you'll just circle those numbers and the locations for the 6.0 and over, for the 6.0 and over, and where the location Starts, that gray line above them, right in 6.29. 2019. And that's going to be, it's going to be hard to track. I mean, if later on, If you want to reprint this and correct this mistake, you'll know where to go to get that. I'm not going to do it now with you, I'm not going to repeat that information, but it's correct.
:But the date is 6 29 2019. We went seven days back from there and that's what I was going to read to you later on. So I'm going to redo that on my new sheet later on. But hopefully you've got two papers. So when I start out that new list, if you do not, um, pause this again and go print another paper for now. So, because we're going to need that in a couple minutes, but for now we're going to go to 622 1999 and we're going to start reading that because I got that one also wrote down. So 6 29 1999. We're going to go back seven days and give you that report. Are you ready? All right, here we go, get my papers jostled around here a little bit and we'll get it going oh, you messed up, did you?
:that's all right, bruce, we're all used to it by now well, thank you for something, I'm not sure what, but let's begin I don't want to keep everybody on here forever on, uh, 622 2000 or 1999 now I'm all um messed up, can't talk right, but anyway 622 10, 1999 put that in the third date down, and then all the all column. Next one over to the right from the date is 2196, 2 196 earthquakes of all magnitude. The next one is a 2.5 column and it was 470. And then the next one was a 4.5 column and it was 106. And then we're going to go to the 6.0 and over column. And I've got these right. I'm reading them on the right page now.
:Uh, we had a 6.3 and it was in mexico. Mexico, just south of the border, is what they used to say on that commercial 6.3. And the next one, out of the goal post, out of the gate, is a 6.4. And it was in the Philippines, which is another set of islands that gets hit a lot, another set of islands that gets hit a lot. And then the next one was a 7.0, and it was also in Mexico.
:And it was the beginning of this seven-day report. Or, if you go back to the last episode, it was the end of the seven-day report I gave for 6-15-20, or 6-15-1999. So it kind of overlapped because it was on the last day and this one was on the beginning day, but we had three um in 1999. So, because it's the end of the month, on this episode, next week is july the fourth weekend. Thursday yeah, friday is actually july the fourth, so most of the fireworks and stuff will probably be on that next weekend. But I don't know if we'll be bringing you an episode or not. We'll have to see how time allows don't you have to work thursday?
:no, wait a minute. Friday, the 4th of july, you're off thursday. That's really going to mess up the podcast if we try to record.
:Yes, it will, yes, it will. So I probably won't do an episode next week. We'll skip it and do another one two weeks. We'll see what happens.
:But okay, back to the report I'm giving the earthquake seven-day report column. You go all the way down. You got one more date left there. I want you to write 30 days. So we're going back 30 days and giving you the all magnitude report for each one of these dates for that month. For each one of these dates for that month. We're just going to do it at the end of the month, that episode, whatever day that falls on. That's when we're going to do it. We're not going to do it every week. So the 30-day report for this month, which is in June 2025, that would be a total of 9,762 earthquakes, and then for 6 of 2019, that month was a total you ready for this 12,686. And then the last one. You can write this down anywhere. By the the way, however you want to be neat, the last one is going to be may 1999, for that month is going to be 6 990. All right, you have successfully written down the seven-day report as I have gave it, and that was for last week. We didn't have an episode last week, but I went ahead and wrote down the numbers to keep us up to date. Now we're going to give the report for now, our seven-day report for this month, or not this month, for this week. And this week ends in 29, so we're going to go to 629. 25 is the first date on there and the all magnitudes was 2225. And the 2.5 magnitudes was 336. And it looks like I've left the lines off this last copy. I don't know what happened. Oh, this is one of my previous copies. Never mind.
:The 4.5 and over was 114. The 6.0s we had a 6.1 and it was in the philippines. There you go. We're having a lot of traffic in the philipp. May not be a very comfortable island to live on. Then we had a 6.2 and the southern mid-Atlantic ridge. That's just one of those fault lines out in the ocean. Southern Atlantic no, mid-atlantic Ridge. I'm just going to write down Atlantic Ridge because I don't have a lot of room. And then we had another 6.2. Which was east of the Philippines. So it was just out there in the ocean close to the Philippines. And then we had a 6.6, was in Scotia. 6.6 was in Scotia, s-c-o-t-i-a. Scotia Islands no, scotia Sea I'm sorry, forgive me Scotia Sea, and that is south. Well, actually, west of the tip of South America is what they consider Scotia Sea. So if you look on a map, go just a hair west of the tip of South America and right there it is, that whole area south and southwest of South America and that's a lot of south. But there you go.
:That's the report for 6 29 2025 and let's go move on to 6 um 22 2019. So write that on the book. I just broke my pencil. I just sharpened it too, all right, and we're at 6-29-2019. All magnitude earthquakes was 29-74. No 79. 29-79. As you can see, these earthquakes just seem to be more, no matter what we're looking at, more than this year. The 2.5 column will be a 562. That's quite a bit more. And the 4.5 column will be 200 200 earthquakes for that number. That's a lot. Now, the 6.0 I'm going to give you, if you want to write it over your locations, is for the 6-22-2019 numbers, because I already gave you these 6.0s on the other report and hopefully you wrote it down and kept them that way so you can adjust them back around the other way later on if you want to correct that or just remember those two dates are reversed, so 6-29-2019,.
:That seven-day report had several, but not as many as the 6-29 report, but not as many as the 629 report. So we're going to go right now 6.1 coming out of the gate, and that was in chromatic islands, basically New Zealand. If you want to know where that's at, chromatic or New Zealand, write that down. It was a 6.1 and I'm gonna stop and sharpen my pencil because I broke the tip right off of that thing. I like using a pencil in case I write something down wrong, I can erase it. All right, we got a sharpened edge already and we are good to go. And the next one up is a 6.2 and it fell in new zealand. So they have quite a bit of activity over in that island. And then the 6.3 occurred and it was in Indonesia.
:Now, most of the time, unless they're building up for an earthquake or having lesser earthquakes after they have one, these earthquakes don't fall in a line like I'm reading them. They happen at different days or hours during that seven-day report. But I just write them down. I try to write them down in order. The next one out was a 6.4, because we're more worried about what's happening? What size than the hour they happened 6.4 in New Zealand, 6.4 in New Zealand we see a lot of activity on that fault line and then another 6.4 and it was in Japan, and then a 6.3 was in the Crematic Island region. So that whole region right over by New Zealand is just getting hammered and that's all. So we have 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 on June, the 22nd 2019, that report which I just read you, and then, if you go back on your other paper, the 6, 29 2019 7 day report which I read you, that one earlier had 1 2 3, 4, 5 6, 7 earthquakes.
:That one earlier had one, two, three, four, five, six, seven earthquakes. So write it down the dates on top for 6-22-2019, on top of your location page portion column, whatever you want to say. That way you can identify. That group I just gave you was actually from the other report and the other report I gave you was from today. Okay, there you go.
:All right, we're going to go back over to the date column and we're going to write down 6-29-1999. And to hit it off, to start it off. To begin it off, there was 1633, 1,633 all-magnitude earthquakes that seven-day report for 1999. For the 2.5 and over was 480. And for the 4.5 and over was 93. The 4.5 and over was 93. Seems to be that year had less earthquakes all the way around. Every time we've done the report Now there may be a change, but even less than we're having now.
:2019 seems to be a higher number, and then 2025. I'm going to have to go back in and do some calculating, but what I've seen over the years on these reports, you'll have one seven-day report that is higher in all magnitudes but lower in the 6.0 and above, which means you have a lot of little ones going off. And then the next week will be lower all magnitudes or little ones going off, and then higher number of 6.0 and over. So, if we take that to the year, maybe that's what we're seeing now. We had a high one in 2019, but it's it was low in 1999, it was high in 2019, which is 10 years apart, and then it was it's kind of low again on 2025. So I'll have to that's more than 10 years I'll have to go back and figure these up and see if that same pattern holds true and I'll let you guys know. Maybe I can get that done by the next episode.
:But back to the report for 1999. If we want to do the six and over report, we only had one, and it was in Fiji, on the Fiji Island. Not heard that one very often. We've had them, though, but not a whole lot. All right, that's the reports, and I gave you the 30-day report actually too early. I should have put it on this paper. So if you want to copy it over to this one, it doesn't matter. But we've got one more thing to go over with you today, and then I'll leave you alone, baby.
:But what I did is I looked at these numbers and I thought you know what probably would help us to see what we're dealing with is if I went back and figured an amount for a percentage for these earthquakes and I did that, these off to you and you can write them down wherever you want to, wherever you got room, I guess you could say and just put them, put a percentage sign after it or put them in parentheses, however you want to do it. But what I did is I took the 2.5 number and figured what percentage of the whole magnitude count number. It was in the same way with a 4.5 how many, how much of a percentage it was of the all magnitude count. So that's what I'm going to read you and we're going to start with the, the 622, 25 numbers and we're going to read that to you. So if you figure the 302, see if I can read this. I got my light turned off. Okay, the 302 number, which is 2.5 and over that number, was 15.09% of the total and the 4.5 number was 4.85% of the total and 6.0 over that percentage of the total 4.5 numbers was 1.03%, 2.03%. So we had basically 1%, which is 1, of that 97% to date. Okay, that was 6-22-25.
:If we'll go to the 6-22-2019,. I did the same thing. The 2.5 was a 17.65% of the 4.5 count. So I'm hoping this one will give you a better view of what we're reading you, what numbers we're reading you.
:Let's do the 1999 622 count. That's also on that page. And if I took off too fast and it took you a minute to get that paper to write it down, with pause it, go back and get it and rewind till you get to this count. But we're on the 22 page, 622 page, and we're going to do 622, 1999 and the 2.5 count was 21.40%, 21.40% and the 4.5 was 4.83% and I hope my math is good and the 6.0 count was 2.83% of the 4.5 and over number. So there you go and if you'll notice, you can see right off the bat how the numbers look and I might be able to put these in a graph later on and graph them out and see what the graph looks like. Maybe I can post that or something. But right now that's where we're at and let's do the 629. Boy, I can't talk.
:You never could Bruce.
:Very true, very true, okay. 6-29-2025. We had, let me get it here. The 2.5 over magnitude count of that total number is 15.10%. 15.10%, so 15% basically, and the 4.5 is 5.12, so basically 5.12 or 5%. And the 6 and over was 3.5%, 3.51 to be exact percent. And then we'll jump down to the 2019 count of 6-22-2019. We had 18.87%. Was the 2.5% I've got too many no 2.5 and over count was 18.87% of the total. There you go, that's a mouthful. And the 4.5 count was 6.17%, or basically 6% of the total count, and the 6.0 and above count was 3.5%.
:6-29-1999. That seven-day report. I've already gave you the numbers. I'm just going to give you the percentage 2.5 and over. That number ends up being 29.39% of the total. 29.39% of the total, 29.39. And then the why is that so high? I'm going to have to go back and refigure that. I guess it's so high because we've got a higher percentage of lower earthquakes, which is a good thing. That's probably what we're going to have to look for when we have a lesser amount. I wonder if the earthquakes go up. Anyway, we'll look into that. It's 29.39, and then the 4.5 and over was 5.70%, almost 6. The total of that is a 1.18% of the 4.5 numbers. All right, I got it all to you.
:Sit down after you finish this podcast and look those numbers over and see what you think. Hopefully I've calculated all of them right. If I messed up and read the wrong number and put it in there, like I more commonly do, then maybe a little bit off. But I'm not going to go back and check them, we'll just move on to the next week and so on and so forth. But anyway, that gives a percentage to look at.
:Not only do we see the number now, but we can see a percentage of the total which I'm looking lower earthquakes, the 2.5 earthquakes and above, which goes all the way from 2.5 to 4.5, is a different number than I thought it would be to. 4.5 is a different number than I thought it would be. That is really weird. But in 1999, we had apparently more low earthquakes and smaller amount of total, which brings that percentage up high and that that shows up. See that what? That's what it's going to tell us, hopefully. Anyway, that's a seven day report with new add-ons and we're going to try to do that from now on to give you a better view of what we've got and after we do this for several months, we may start doing it in a not a spreadsheet, but a scale and a graph, and hopefully that will give you a better view of everything. So there you go. Anything you want to say, sonny.
:That was a lot of numbers. I bet you bored everybody to death.
:Well, I hope not. And the first time doing that. It always takes longer, but we went over an hour or two. Man Too long, Too long.
:Yes, it is Too long.
:Yeah, that's. One reason I want to do it every week is because it keeps the episode down, because you're pushing out way too much information, don't give me enough time to talk about the news and other things going on, and I know there's a lot of political stuff happening and we purposely have not talked about that, and there's a. If you want to hear a podcast that's drawing that out and bringing new information out, then go find one that does that. We don't want to do that. If it wasn't for the earthquakes, we'd probably pretty well keep it down to a minimum. Speaking of news, though, I guess the solar weather and the solar winds and stuff have been really active. Now. I think they've calmed down this weekend, but last week they were kind of active, so there probably was a lot of noise on the radio and stuff. Anyhow, that's it for the Ugly Quacking Duck podcast.
:Yay, it was fun. Bruce, you kind of bored me. I fell asleep.
:Oh no, you didn't. Yes, I did. All right. Well, I'll forgive you, because it probably was. I was stuttering and bumming over all this stuff, but I wanted to get it out, work through it and maybe I can fine-tune it over the time period and the other episodes. But we're hoping this will educate us in a way that we will see a pattern that we not normally looked at. So there you go. Maybe we'll find something that's not normally found. You want to say anything else?
:I just want to thank everybody for sticking with us. Come back and don't forget to go to our webpage.
:Oh yeah, go to theuglyquackandduckcom. One more time, I'm telling you that because you can find our homepage podcast. We've got a listing there. You can also find a post that we make. We don't make them too regular, but when we um make a new episode, we put it on the web page first, probably usually a day before, so you can get it 24 hours early. All you have to do is go to our home page on that web page website, scroll down towards the bottom and there'll be a subscribe and you just put in your email in that box, subscribe, and then you should get emails from then on when we do a post or a new episode, and then you can go listen to it right there early, before the podcast gets hosted on our regular hosting site.
:So join us. That's what I'm telling you Give. Give us feedback. You can send us an email. That's the easiest way to give feedback. We also, if you listen to our podcast on a podcast 2.0 player, there's a place on there. You can make notes and stuff to us. Uh, it says in our description text us and you can do that and we'll read it out. So there you go. We believe in, uh, hearing from our listeners and our family and friends, and that's what we're here for. We enjoy it, it's fun for us, I hope it's fun for you and, uh, we're going to say good night, goodbye, good day, good morning, whatever dimension you're coming to us from or we're going to you. We hope you enjoyed the show and you come back. 73. May the father's blessing be with you and ready, sonny.
:I'm ready.
:Okay, here we go.
:Bye.
