Seahawks fans set off seismometer with jumping, cheering

Fox News

SEATTLE –  A University of Washington earth sciences professor says the legendary noisemaking of Seattle Seahawks’ hometown fans registered on a nearby seismometer with roughly the same energy as a magnitude 1 or 2 earthquake during Seattle’s 34-7 Monday night victory over the New Orleans Saints.

John Vidale is also director of the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network. He says it’s hard to compare the fans’ half minute of stomping, jumping and shouting during a first quarter fumble return for a touchdown to the quick “pop” of a small earthquake. Still he says, “the energy is very roughly the same.”

The UW seismometer in question is located near CenturyLink Field.

Vidale says it also recorded “three or four more good bursts,” always coinciding with Seahawks’ touchdowns.
