Earthquake Missing

Well this will be a first. Now there's an earthquake missing. hahaa. Seriously though, I was checking on something and I scrolled back and the China earthquake which I found, which happened on the 13th supposedly, is "gone"...MIA.

I got the information from a government site about earthquakes around the world. It was listed as a 4.1 and had depth and other calculations as well, and I found it on a different page that is more obscure but has a full list and then I went to another page and they have all the other ones there but not the one from China.

Not that big of a deal, I just don't know why one would be recorded one day and then gone from the record the next day.

I found it on a European/Mediteranean site. I guess they rated it 4.5: 2010-02-13 06:21:19.3 39.75 N 76.98 E 69 mb 4.5 SOUTHERN XINJIANG, CHINA 2010-02-13 13:40

No big deal at all, it's not that I WANTED China specifically to have one, but I thought, why did they even come to mind? but maybe for no reason at all, or maybe I glanced on something and it came to mind. What I found, in comparing the U.S. and European sites, is that the European/Mediterranean site records more of their regions's stuff and the U.S. documents many more of the California earthquakes. It doesn't matter, I was just curious because it came to mind but there are tons of earthquakes, TONS everyday and we don't even hear about them.
