Preliminary 8.0-magnitude earthquake off the coast of Mexico.

My phone just went off with a ping of a 8.0 EQ hitting Chiapas, Mexico... Waiting for more information to come in. Its showing on Twitter, but no official site as of yet. I will update as it comes in.

8⃣0⃣ 🇲🇽 Earthquake M 8.0, 07/09 23:49, depth: 10 Km, NEAR COAST OF CHIAPAS, MEXICO #earthquake #gfz

Could any of this be due to the recent x-class solar flare the sun just released?

It's (the epicenter) on the Pacific side.

Lol, JHN, we posted our threads at exactly the same time XD

It's on the west coast.

lots of bouncing buoys; www.ndbc.noaa.gov...

Upgraded to 8.3.

If there is anything in Tapachula is probably flat now.

Tsunami warnings for the next 3 hours or so.

Wow, lots of nature goin on with this and the hurricanes.

I am seriously interested in how geomagnetic effects, namely those which may be influenced by solar flares doing work on the magnetosphere, may interact with earthquake activity. The cynic in me also wonders how the narrative will go which attempts to link earthquakes to human activity. I hope any resulting tsunami from this quake will be relatively shallow, given it's epicenter on the continental shelf rather than on the deep ocean floor, however I am no planetologist. I hope for the best.

Apparently, quite the light show..

no confirmation this is real or from the quake though

Are these just aftershocks? Seems strange that there are so many in Mexico recently.

I counted seven more 4.5m or higher after the 8.0 one tonight.

Cool video, however im leaning towards elecrical boxes blowing up.

Tsunami waves 3.3ft high reported. Which im guessing is good news

We will have to wait and see how this effects nearby fault lines. This could cause a domino affect and could cause Cascadia to go and then move North.

The following video presenter who calls himself dutchsinse is the most detailed I have found as far as locations and forecast.. I have watched several of his videos over the last few months and what I find interesting is his predictions of where the earth quakes are and he forecast where they will strike next.. I think he predicted this quake in his 10 PM hour long video. youtu.be...

This was predicted on Reddit. User says hes found a connection between earthquakes and solar flares. Wonder if the earthquake lights are caused by the flares? The guy making the prediction has no formal education, and is unemployed and poor. He has no computer and uses his phone for most of his research.

I dont think they are earthquake lights, the breif blue flashes are conical shaped emanating from the ground. I watched another video on a live stream that shows a street level veiw of the boxes on electrical poles exploding.

The solar eclipse certainly was telling us something it seems with hurricanes, wildfires and quakes soon following.

Holy crap that is a big one! Stay safe everyone, some weird # going on!

You have to wonder if this has anything to do with the solar weather we are seeing

CME IMPACT SPARKS AURORAS, STOPS TRAFFIC: The debris from Wednesday's monster X9-class solar flare reached Earth last night--and its impact was everything forecasters expected. A severe G4-class geomagnetic storm commenced, sparking auroras over Scandinavia so bright they actually stopped traffic."I was driving home when the CME hit," reports Jani Ylinampa of Rovaniemi, Finland. "It was such an amazing display, I really had to pull over and shoot some photos."
