 * Calculations: ||
 * P waves: 7630.93 km X ( 1/5km/sec) X (1 min/60 sec) = 25.43783 min ||
 * S waves: 7630.93 km X ( 1/3km/sec) X (1 min/60 sec) = 42.39638 min ||

 * Explanation: This earthquake happened at 13:13:09.52. With the speed of the p waves at 5/km it would take the waves about 25 minutes to get to LIGO. The spike in the graph happens at about 13:38:00 which is around the time my calculations predicted that the earthquake would reach LIGO ||
