Its source was the hurricane itself. Hurricanes create large ocean waves which send energy pulsing through the Earth as they pound the shoreline. To determine the power of Katrina’s seismic waves Peter Gerstoft of the University of California San Diego and colleagues analysed the signals recorded by a network of 150 seismic stations in southern California just before Katrina hit the Louisiana coast. They used a method known as beamforming which preferentially picks up signals from a particular direction to decipher the seismicity generated by Katrina (Geophysical Research Letters vol 33 p L17805).
