My horizontal sensors respond to tilts caused by moving around in the rooms
above. I believe the wiggle prior to the P-wave is such an artifact.

saw the USGS list of quakes yesterday, I thought I would see a good record.
I worked it up and was disappointed so I didn't post it until today after I
saw Bob's (Locust Valley). If you look prior to the arrival of the P wave,
there is something there in the frequency of .05 hz (in the one min 40 sec
prior to P arrival for Honshu) that appears directional. (e.g. the peak is
greater on the E-W than on the N-S and is NOT present on the vertical). The
Texas posts show a peak on the vertical too. Since this peak is not
synchonous with the S wave arrival from Honshu, is it wish to suppose this
is another quake since the Texas stations show a peak on the vertical and
probably are closer to it?
