I've long suspected some shenanigans are going on at USGS let alone NASA and the rest. often they give an earthquakes size, then in the next hour it has been downgraded a few notches. I will look at the link right now, thanks.!!

Nicolas! I was trying to see the impact of earthquake and I came across this information at http://thewatchers.adorraeli.com  This information is just to show that different agencies are estimating earthquakes differently. It is stated that USGS downgrades the earthquakes. I have been watching USGS information on earthquakes for a considerable time and  I always  noticed the earthquakes in the ocean  around Australia. For the first time I saw this one  almost on the center of Australia.  

Geoscience rates the earthquake as 6.1."The Watchers" reports that Australia’s Geoscience is the organization with multiple instruments installed all over Australia and has to be considered as most accurate. The depth of epicenter reported by Geoscience wasonly 3 km! USGS reported depth at 10.7 km (6.6 miles).
