Yes, I noticed that too from the USGS post: "M-type="Nuttli" surface wave 
magnitude (mbLg), Version=7."  But,
I was still concerned about MY post.  That area has recently has numerous 
shallow events.
Thanks Thomas.

  , this quake was not a good one ... they rated it as poor. I have
  followed their analysis faithfully and such a rate makes for some poor
  readings of the incoming times of wave types.

Yes, I noticed that too from the USGS post: "M-type=3D"Nuttli" = surface wave=20 magnitude (mbLg), Version=3D7."  But,
I was still concerned about MY post.  That area has recently = has=20 numerous shallow events. 
Thanks Thomas.
