http://www.cnn.com/2011/US/09/02/alaska ... ?hpt=hp_t2A 6.8-magnitude earthquake struck Friday off the coast of Alaska, the U.S. Geological Survey reported.
The Geological Survey initially measured a 7.1-magnitude quake, but later downgraded it slightly. It was 22 miles deep, the Survey reported.
The earthquake occurred 120 miles east-southeast of Atka, Alaska, in a sparsely populated part of the Aleutian Islands known as the Fox Islands. The epicenter was 1,030 miles west southwest of Anchorage, the Geological Survey said.
A 6.7 magnitude earthquake struck near Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Friday afternoon, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
The epicenter was about 175 miles west of the city of Vancouver and nearly 50 miles underground.
A 7.3-magnitude earthquake struck early Friday in the Fiji islands region of the Pacific Ocean, the U.S. Geological Survey reported.
According to the U.S.-based Pacific Tsunami Warning Center, "a destructive tsunami was not generated, based on earthquake and historical tsunami data."
The quake struck at a depth of 626 kilometers, or about 390 miles below the earth's surface, the Geological Survey said on its website. Its epicenter was 74 miles south-southwest of Fiji's Ndoi Island, 281 miles south-southeast of the Fijian capital, Suva, and 264 miles west of Nuku'alofa in Tonga, according to the U.S. agency's estimations.
It happened just after 7:30 a.m. Friday, or 3:30 p.m. ET. Initially, it was reported as 7.2 magnitude.

TOKYO - A strong earthquake has rocked northeastern Japan, which is still recovering from the devastating tsunami six months ago.
The quake Thursday had a preliminary magnitude of 5.6. There were no immediate reports of damage and no tsunami warning was issued.
The earthquake was centered off Fukushima, which was severely hit by the quake and tsunami in March that left more than 21,000 people dead or missing. Fukushima is about 150 miles northeast of Tokyo.
SAN ANTONIO - A small and rare South Texas earthquake has shaken homes outside San Antonio. The U.S. Geological Survey measured the 4.6 magnitude earthquake early Thursday morning. The earthquake started at 7:24 a.m. and was centered about 50 miles south-southeast of San Antonio between Pleasanton and Karnes City.
There have been no reports of injuries or damage.
The earthquake could be felt in Wilson County, Atascosa County and Bexar County. It was the largest the area has felt since April 9, 1993 when a 4.3 quake shook the area, explained Amy Vaughn from the U.S. Geological Survey. Experts will look over the data, and the magnitude may be adjusted after further analysis. In January 2010, a magnitude-2.6 quake was recorded in the area, the last one on record.

Deputy Prime Minister Besir Atalay said 10 buildings had collapsed in the center of the city of Van, citing local authorities.
Health Minister Recep Akdag said an air ambulance and several helicopters would go to the quake zone.
Television pictures from Van Province showed rescuers and members of the public climbing over massive piles of cinderblocks that had been a building before the earthquake hit.

http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-202_162-573 ... ?tag=stackMEXICO CITY - A 6.5-magnitude earthquake struck in Mexico's western Guerrero state Saturday night, shaking buildings and causing panic in the nation's capital and the Pacific resort of Acapulco. Officials said at least three people died, but there were no reports of widespread damage.
The U.S. Geological Service initially estimated the quake at magnitude at 6.8, but downgraded it to 6.7 and then 6.5. A quake of that magnitude is capable of causing severe damage, although the depth of this temblor lessened its impact.
The USGS said the quake occurred at a depth of 40.3 miles (64.9 kilometers). It was centered about 26 miles (42 kilometers) southwest of Iguala in Guerrero and 103 miles (166 kilometers) south-southwest of Mexico City.

Yeap. They're trying to blame it on fracking operations. We've had several small quakes since they started fracking, which of course, is a big issue with the environmentalists. They've shut down the operations until they can investigate this more thoroughly.Sava700 wrote:Eastern Ohio rattled by 4.0-magnitude earthquake

http://www.cnn.com/2012/01/15/world/ame ... ?hpt=hp_t3A strong 6.6-magnitude earthquake struck Sunday off the coast of Antarctica, prompting a warning that there was a "small possibility" it could trigger a tsunami.

Afterward, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center released a statement saying that there appears to be no threat of "destructive widespread tsunami" because of the quake.
But the agency did state "there is a small possibility of a local or regional tsunami that could affect coasts located usually no more than a few hundred kilometers from the earthquake epicenter.
"Authorities in the region near the epicenter should be made aware of this possibility," the warning center added.

MANILA, Philippines - A strong earthquake in the central Philippines killed at least 43 people Monday as it destroyed buildings and triggered landslides that buried dozens of houses, trapping residents. Dozens more people were reported missing.
The 6.8-magnitude quake, in a narrow strait just off Negros Island, caused a landslide in Guihulngan, a city of about 180,000 people in Negros Oriental province. As many as 30 houses were buried and at least 29 people were missing, Mayor Ernesto Reyes said.
The Philippine Army said they had counted at least 43 dead bodies in areas hardest hit by the quake, reports CBS News' Barnaby Lo from the capital, Manila. The country's disaster management agency was still verifying the reported deaths.
Lo reports that at least bridges in the region were severely damaged by the quake, leaving them impassable and greatly hindering the search and recovery effort.
The quake, which hit at 11:49 a.m. (3:49 a.m. GMT), triggered another landslide in the mountain village of Solongon in La Libertad town, also in Negros Oriental. An unknown number of people were trapped, said La Libertad police chief inspector Eric Arrol Besario.
