According to NORSAR there was a 1.0 earthquake 25 km away from here at
12:07:46 today, and sure enough, when I look at my data, I got a big
spike at 12:07:56 roughly at 2.5 Hz.  It was just one short spike
which echoed at most 25 seconds.

Is there a formula which, given the distance from the earthquake, will
give the frequency which is most likely to be the strongest?
