UW seismologists ready to record rumble of Seahawks fans at playoff game

Seahawks fans have a documented history of making the earth move (think Beast Quake).

And scientists are hoping the habit will help them perfect a system of predicting and monitoring earthquakes throughout the region.

On Thursday, a crew of scientists from the University of Washington Pacific Northwest Seismic Network installed several sensors and cameras around CenturyLink Field before the Seahawks’ Saturday contest with the Detroit Lions.

At kickoff, viewers will be able to watch real-time information about the stadium’s movements via the group’s website.
