I've noticed lately mainstream media usually only reports heavier on 6.5 (as a minimum) and above - with 7's and 8's getting widespread recognition

Series of earthquakes hits near California-Nevada border

 

A series of moderate earthquakes rocked the Nevada-California border, shaking residents in both states but producing no reports of major damage or injury.

 

The first temblor, with a magnitude of 5.7, occurred at 12:22 a.m. PST near Hawthorne, Nev. It was followed by a second 5.7 quake and then more than 100 aftershocks.

And it'snormal to get the aftershocks after these quakes, but what dutchsinse does is tells you the direction they will go ... and what magnitudes and at what point the pressure dissipates. New Madrid fracture zone was the old route of the pressure release, now with the fracking (and I believe fracking doesn't cause earthquakes but rather changes the behaviour of earthquakes) there is now a New Madrid zone, which is why Oklahoma is getting more frequent and higher magnitude quakes.

 

It is a fascinating science but you need time to prove it to yourself, bit like the truth, but its time if dont have ... so my interest really just skims the surface.

Four earthquakes in a row...

News just said there was an avalanche near there,  authorities are saying the quakes loosened the snow and it hammered a village.

There's been a 6.1 in the North Pacific and a 5.5 I the Southwest Indian Ridge, southwest of Madagascar, this morning too.  

[Friends just call me Ross]

I just counted.   There have been ten 5.0 + earthquakes in just the past twenty-four hours,

plus a a 4.5, two 4.6s, two 4.9s, four 4.7s , three 4.8s...in other words, "There's been a whole lot a' shakin' goin' on."

Two 5.2s so far today.  

One in the middle of Alaska, 

in Danali National Park,

and one just off the coast of Ecuador.

[Friends just call me Ross]

5.8 in the Banda Sea, southeast of Indonesia,

and northwest of Pulau Wetar.

(Keeping track of all the quakes, sure gives you a good lesson

in world geography.   Up until just now, I didn't even know there

was a Banda Sea or a Pulau Wetar.)

Earthquakes 5.0 and greater within just the past 24 hours:

 

6.4 Southwestern Pakistan

5.7 Southwest of New Caledonia

5.1 Turkey

5.0 Primorye Russia

5.1 Fiji Region

5.3 Pacific Antarctic Ridge5.3 Western Zizang India Border Region

Plus all these 4.0s and greater:

4.9 Turkey

4.4 SE of Shikoku

4.6 Java, Indonesia

4.0 Offshore of Veracruz, Mexico

Since I posted the above list:

5.2 West Chile Rise

5.2 West Pakistan

5.2 Off the North Coast of Irian Jaya

5.0 Java Indonesia

5.5 Fiji Islands

 

4.5 Romania

4.7 Kuril Islands

4.7 Papua Indonesia

4.9 Yunnan Chine

4.8 Off the coast of Irian Jaya

4.3 Oaxaca Mexico

4.6 New Zealand

4.9 Banda Sea

4.6 Turkey

 

These quakes are all of a high enough magnitude to cause damage in populated areas.

Here's hoping all these areas are not heavily populated.

Wow!

6.7 just struck the Philippines near Mindanao.

 

Also, a pair of 5.0+s hit.  One in Tonga and one in the middle of the Atlantic.

In countries that have good structures ... anything under a 6.0 won't cause any damage at all even a shallow one, UNLESS there is previous damage from a bigger quake ... just saying this because we need to keep things in perspective, while those quakes listed above are certainly noteworthy, none of them are at the point of causing alarm.  Would be good to add in the depths as well, because the Fiji ones are often at a depth noone in Fiji would even notice.

 

NZ is getting hundreds of quakes every day ... we are still swarming from the big 7.8 (7.5) we had ... so 4.0 - 5.0's are very common for us.  You will find that not everything is being reported ... so your list is only the tip of the iceberg.

 

Remember that scripture about what is normal is abnormal and what is abnormal becomes normal? Well this is the case with earthquakes they are so common now ... that most of us in earthquake prone areas, just yawn at anything 6.0 and under ... it's quite weird when you think about it.

 

So look out for 6.0's and over ... especially in undeveloped lands like Haiti - Solomon Islands, philippines, indonesia all around there. 

 

Don't worry about New Zealand so much at the moment ... life is normal here, I sometimes think that the rest of the world think we are enduring some type of ongoing disaster when it comes to earthquakes, we have damage in contained areas ... Wellington, Kaikoura, Christchurch and some surrounding areas ... but they are putting things together slowly, and the rest of the country is going on as normal. If there is a quake of significant magnitude and depth, that needs attention I'll certainly find a way of letting you guys know.

 

But do watch these more fragile countries that can't take the magnitudes ... i think Italy's one that caused the avalanche wasn't huge either, but due to past damage there it won't take much for them. So they need prayers and love.

 

Just thought I'd update you ... sometimes the stats are scarier than they actually are in rl.
