EDIT: I think it might be just a sick rumour...

Anyone see this???

There are rumors on Twitter, that Venezuela has been hit by a 8.2 magnitude earthquake.

With tsunamis alerts, also going out for the islands of the Dominican Republic, Haiti and Puerto Rico, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago.

Estimated to hit at 1.14 am, the message has also been said to be a hoax.

This follows the actual earthquake, which hit California today, at 4.4 magnitude, the earthquake it hit east of downtown Los Angeles. Although there have been no reports of injuries, damages, but there were power shortages.

There is no other information on Venezuela as yet. But one can assume this is just another Twitter, rumour one that has no humour to it at all.

(I don't think USGS record anything under 4.0 for this area.)

I am going to have a look on Vase to see if there are any plots for the area but really this is disgusting if it is a hoax.

Some people are just completely SICK

OK Folks - I see your posts put up while I was typing!

With reference to Purto Rico, Austria posted this link in the Yellowstone thread so I am re-posting here.

I am definitely going to take a further look at this Indonesia/Puerto Rico thing again.

Austria, sorry I had already posted this for you.

That area of California, sure has been busy the last 24 hrs, pretty far north, and more east than usual, it seem's. Here's the seismo's for that period.

quake.usgs.gov...

Did ya catch the 3.7 mag near Alaska, less than 3 minutes later, odd.....??

reply to post by freetree64


yes, i caught that - everything seems odd

I agree fully

Look's like small and frequent day to me... Lot's of little ones everywhere, but nothing major anywhere... I'm not sure about California today though, with that 17 minute rumble up and down the coast, very strange....

Puerto Rico seems to be taking on a nasty swarm today..

reply to post by freetree64


I very rarely make any kind of predictions (because it's always wrong) and I think predicting earthquakes is kinda predicting the tide.... we all know it's gonna happen!

BUT....I have a stong feeling we are in for some action soon, like this afternoon. All these little quakes give me the feeling of a build-up and things are just kinda humming like a taught guitar string. Somethings gonna snap somewhere.

If there is any truth to the sun-influence theory, than we very well could see it this afternoon. We are predicted to have a K4 index geomagnetic storm today. Here is a link with the plot prediction and a second explaining what the different levels mean:

second scale

I don't know.....hope it all settles down!

Yes, indeed they have been, slowing down a bit... but quite a few in very little time as well.... Here's the funny thing though, take a look at the LISS 24 hr webicorders, they are mostly quiet today, hmmmm

reply to post by westcoast


It's hard to say, could be a busy afternoon, and yes, I too prefer to stay away from predictions. I guess as long as we don't get any earth opening from Darby O'gill's little people ( leprechauns ) we should be ok

As far as the Sun theories, not sure, seem's to be mostly debunked in here, but, we still do not know everything in the universe, right??

Cook islands looks rather interestng

I love that website, it's amazing what is available to us now!

Ok! That complete's the entire coastline of the America's, with quakes from end to end..... Now what?
