Additional funds from the Shawnee State Development Foundation were used for computer purchase. Shawnee State formally agreed to host an Ohioseis seismic station in October 1998. The PowerMac G-3 was ordered and received in November 1998. Seismometer, GPS, and the remaining equipment were received at a training session sponsored by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources and hosted by the Ohio Emergency Management Agency in Columbus, Ohio, on December 18. The seismic system was on-line January 4, 1999.
Miracles do happen.
The Shawnee State team responsible for set-up of the system have little or no experience in seismology.
