Hi All,

Quite a few of the educational seismic stations provided by IRIS 
recorded the Gulf event.  Take a look
here during then next 16 hours or so while the Gulf trace is still visible:

The AS1 instruments are simple, not too expensive ($550), and good 
for education because they
look like a diagram of a seismic system.  For more details see:

The

IRIS Seismographs In Schools Program

 is described here:

If anyone lives near one of the schools with a system, I'm sure the teachers
involved would love to talk to you about seismic recording, and it's possible
that you could give them a hand with any recording problems.

There is a listing of these and other educational stations here:

Cheers,
John
