Earthquake Virginia USA 8/23/11

All natural earthquakes have a p-wave or primary wave that precedes the main earthquake event. "The name P-wave stands either for primary wave, as it has the highest velocity and is therefore the first to be recorded; or pressure wave,[1] as it is formed from alternating compressions and rarefactions."

Here's a few seismographs of previous earthquakes in the U.S.

Underground nuclear explosions do not produce a P-wave.
Here's a seismograph of North Korea's nuclear test:

Now here are seismographs of the Virgina quake:

Where is the p-wave?

So I was thinking, well Virginia suffered 6 aftershocks last night and I don't know how many today. Can underground nuclear explosions cause aftershocks in a manner consistent with earthquakes? Answer: Yes, they can Virginia.

Aftershocks of the Benham nuclear explosion

Abstract

The BENHAM nuclear explosion, a 1.1 megaton test 1.4 km beneath Pahute Mesa at the Nevada Test Site, initiated a sequence of earthquakes lasting several months. The epicenters of these shocks were located within 13 km of ground zero in several linear zones that parallel the regional fault trends. Focal depths range from near surface to 6 km. The earthquakes are not located in the zone of the major ground breakage. The earthquake distribution and fault plane solutions together indicate that both right-lateral strike-slip fault movement and dip-slip fault movement occurred. The explosion apparently caused the release of natural tectonic strain.



Where is the p-wave? ???

This is a post from another forum that y'all can't access so a link wouldn't do any good.
