I have been running the Belchertown skin without any errors for a while now and this started happening after the California earthquakes. Is anyone else getting this error?

The USGS web site was timing out pretty frequently after the big shocks.

No, but the list of what's recent was super out of date. Their site is getting hammered as you'd expect.

(kid-2 is 70 miles south of there and felt both quite strongly).

As other's have said probably a timeout or website down error. I'll add an error catcher in Belchertown 1.1 so the skin will generate even if no data is available. I should have done that before. Sorry about that

This should be all set now in commit f4b62e1 and will appear in 1.1 (unless you manually add the changes now)
