On June 17, 2000, an earthquake in Iceland shook buildings and damaged
roads. It was about 6.5 Richter magnitude, and was widely felt. Robert
Pucher apprised me of the quake, about which he had heard from his
girlfriend.

Hi Roger!
Maybe you noticed the strong earth quake a couple of days ago in island.
My girlfriend presently is working in Reykjavik. She informed me that on
that day there was a national holiday in island. Most persons have spent
their time not inside their houses. If they had been inside, people
would have been harmed seriously. What a interesting combination!

The figure shows a different parameter than we usually examine, namely
the cumulative deviation of the variance across the 30 eggs reporting at
this time. During the half-hour preceding the quake the variability
among the eggs was much less than expected, and in the half hour
afterward, much greater than expected. The tendency is extremely
consistent, and is marginally significant in both halves of the figure.
