Human induced earthquake.

Could have happened over the boarder but they where keeping very quiet in case Trump found out how many there were?.

And again in the same place, even stronger at 7.0 rather than 6.4

I see that there have been two separate magnitude 6.4 quakes in N Alaska in the last few hours. No reported casualties or significant damage as far as I know but the quakes are notably strong for the region I think.

I see there has also been a couple more large quakes In Lombok. There has been a very high level of seismic activity in this region for a number of weeks now. Today’s two largest quakes have been reported as 6.4 and 6.9 magnitude.

Evening all.
I see there was a good quake in NE of South America yesterday - Venezuela and some Caribbean islands. See:

As if Venezuela didn't have enough to worry about.


 


A week for the V's - Vanuatu also having magnitude 6+ quakes

Agreed. Not only must it be terrifying but it also makes you realise how powerless we are against things like tsunamis (and indeed to an extent earthquakes).

This is an absolute tragedy and shows just how our cosy little lives can be wiped out in seconds.


As Doc says, we are powerless. We may think we rule the world, but we dont.

If the Pacificication of West Beaufort is bringing warmer,saltier water in contact with the reserves then they may be less 'stable' than in previous times?
