Magnitude 9 Earthquake in Atlantic Ocean South of Ghana & Togo S.A.

Not sure what's going on but the website globalincidentmap.com is showing a magnitude 9 earthquake just occurred about 60 minutes ago. But the site does not mention the depth of the quake, if it really happened.

I will add pictures of where supposedly the quake occurred.





Can't find any other info and I am not sure if this is a dud or if it's real but thought I should post it just in case.

That's a biggie! Tsunami alert!?

Nothing mentioned n the USGS
It may not be real I think

I've just checked the USGS feed and they are not reporting any earthquakes in that area. The site is reporting the earthquake depth is 0. So this could be a false alarm.

I just checked a webicorder here in Arkansas, and it should show if it was an hour ago--- but its not showing up on it.

So maybe a computer glitch --- hope so, anyway!!!

Must have been some kind of glitch, nothing showing here either

This is near where their big quake (6.4) occurred in 1939. Not too large, but notable for it's size because it's not considered a hot spot. They've had a couple quakes this year and you can find articles about warnings of future activity.
A 9 id a big event! Hopefully it's not too serious!

Note: I just learned all this in a quick Google. I'm not a Ghana expert. Haha

All quiet here.

Yeah, hoping it is a false alarm, and it seems to be so.

Nothing on twitter either.

False alarm.

my cousin lives in Togo, I woulda heard a text from her by now. False alarm seems likely.

Not hear eother, if it happens after the report that would be something

I use MyRadar to get my weather maps. The app also shows earthquakes. I don't know if this relates but there was a quake just west of Africa in the Atlantic measuring 4.6m (red icon).

As already pointed out, nothing on the USGS site.
The source though, was given as from USGS feeds...that's kind of weird.

That area is not known, even historically, for quakes of that magnitude.

EMSC - this is a good site for international earthquakes over M4.5.

A Nine....look out.....

Wow

I'm so glad this was an error of sorts, because any time you see a magnitude 9+, you know bad things are happening (about to happen)...

Could of been something that set off the sensor and gave a false reading?

Aliens? lol

Nuclear explosion ?
😧

Collision or technical glitch more than likely .
