First M3 in SOCAL contest update |
The M3+ EQs at 35.7 north are outside of my contest area and so the first M3 in what I consider Southern California has not occurred yet. See my contest rules in posts 15216, 15268, and 15287: has to be south of 35 N and in California or offshore US waters of the Borderland. Cathryn did not revise hers: her entry was posted 4/26 and was for 34.28N 118.43W. She gave a range of times and I only want a center time: so the range would be time of post on 4/26 to 4/30 PDT (midnight?). So, the center time would be on the 28th or maybe early on the 29th. Lowell's is: Petra's was posted at 4/27 at 16:27:57. it is 33.24 M, -115.52 W. She gave a range from time of post to midnight on May 5. Since she did not correct that to a center time, I said that the midpoint of the time range would be the time: which is late on May 1, I think. Lowell wondered whether Don's San Fernando prediction counted. It does not because: For time, Lowell is now the only one that can be correct, but Petra would still be closest if it occurs in the next few days. For location-could be any of the 4 entries. For combined: I'm not sure how to do combined, but it may be obvious.
