A magnitude 6.0 earthquake has struck the southern tip of the Indonesian island of Sumatra.
The quake struck at a depth of 124 kilometres underground shortly after 11am local time, according to the geological survey group GFZ.
There were no tsunami warnings triggered by the tremor on the island neighbouring Java, home to the Indonesian capital Jakarta and 141 million people.
Some reports registered the quake at magnitude 6.4, others less than 6.0.
No immediate casualties have been reported.
There have been several quakes along the area known as the "Pacific Rim and Fire" in recent weeks, striking in Ecuador, Vanuatu, Japan and New Zealand.
Another in France with testimonies on the page:

Well, france seems to be "Rocking and Rolling", over the average recently... Wonder if the tentions on the the streets there right now, combined with moves from some in the political scene "towards russia" are related in some way?
Pashalis said:
it's interesting you mention it because the other location which rumbled recently was Austria:
And there was this around the beginning of April - when it was reported, though there may have been hints of Austria's position before:
http://www.dw.com/en/austrian-president-rails-against-eu-sanctions-on-russia/a-19170171 said:Date 06.04.2016
Austrian President Heinz Fischer has told his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin that Austria could help remove EU sanctions. That is, if Russia ensures complete fulfillment of its side of the Ukraine ceasefire deal.
After a meeting on Wednesday in Moscow with the speaker of Russia's lower house of parliament, Sergei Naryshkin, Fischer said: "It is important to develop a way to overcome these sanctions in the near future. I have always said that sanctions hurt both sides."
However, Fischer - who leaves office in July - also reiterated that Austria is a "loyal member" of the EU and would adhere to decisions adopted regarding Russia.
[....]
The two presidents also discussed European security as Austria prepares to assume the chairmanship of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) - which independently monitors the Ukraine conflict - next year.
Naryshkin told reporters afterward that Russia is ready to share with Austria its experience in fighting terrorism and settling refugees, adding that the current crisis in Europe is largely a result of the United States' wars in the Middle East.
"Of course we are following the development of the migration crisis in EU countries and in Europe as a whole with concern," Naryshkin said. "We understand that the tremendous flow of refugees from Middle East and North Africa is connected with the thoughtless and irresponsible policies of the United States, the interference into these regions' affairs and attempts to overthrow the governments in these countries that do not suit Washington's needs."
[...]
So it may be something nefarious, Earth Changes and/or Human-Cosmic-Connection, the geomag storm, something else or it may be nothing :D but it occurred to me when the first quake hit France, because i think it was on the day of the actual vote - or at least close to that time.

Foreshock? A Significant Earthquake Just Hit The New Madrid Fault Seismic Zone
http://endoftheamericandream.com/archives/foreshock-a-significant-earthquake-just-hit-the-new-madrid-fault-seismic-zone
By Michael Snyder, on May 1st, 2016
Could the earthquake that just struck the New Madrid fault seismic zone near the town of La Center, Kentucky be a “foreshock” for a much bigger quake yet to come? Very early on Sunday morning, a magnitude 3.5 earthquake hit western Kentucky, and it was felt in parts of three other states as well. In fact, it is being reported that the quake could be felt all the way over in Miller, Missouri, which is 267 miles away. The New Madrid fault seismic zone is six times larger than the more famous San Andreas fault zone in California, and it covers portions of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Missouri, Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee and Mississippi. Scientists tell us that the New Madrid fault is about 30 years overdue for a major event, and because of the nature of the Earth’s crust in that part of the country, a major earthquake would do significant damage all the way to the east coast.
A big Hollywood blockbuster was named after the San Andreas fault, but the truth is that the New Madrid fault has the potential to do vastly more damage. That is why what happened in a remote section of western Kentucky very early this morning was so alarming…
An earthquake near La Center, Kentucky was felt in parts of Illinois and Missouri early on Sunday morning.
According to the National Weather Service in Paducah and the USGS, a magnitude 3.5 was recorded about 8.7 miles north of La Center and 24.2 miles west of Paducah. It happened around 1:12 a.m. and had a depth of about 8.3 miles.
Quite often, there are “foreshocks” that warn us that a major earthquake is coming to a particular area, and many are wondering if this event qualifies.
Most Americans don’t tend to think of the middle of the country as an area that is in danger from earthquakes, but the truth is that some of the worst earthquakes in U.S. history have taken place along the New Madrid fault. The following comes from the USGS…
The New Madrid seismic zone of southeast Missouri and adjacent States is the most seismically active in North America east of the Rockies. During the winter of 1811-1812 three very large earthquakes devastated the area and were felt throughout most of the Nation. They occurred a few weeks apart on December 16, January 23, and February 7. Hundreds of aftershocks, some severely damaging by themselves, continued for years. Prehistoric earthquakes similar in size to those of 1811-1812 occurred in the middle 1400’s and around 900 A.D. Strong, damaging earthquakes struck the southwestern end of the seismic zone near Marked Tree, Arkansas in 1843 (magnitude 6.3), and the northeastern end near Charleston, Missouri in 1895 (magnitude 6.6). Since 1900, moderately damaging earthquakes have struck the seismic zone every few decades.
Those earthquakes in 1811 and 1812 tore thousands of very deep fissures in the ground, they caused the Mississippi River to actually run backwards in some places, and they caused sidewalks to crack in Washington D.C. and church bells to ring in Boston.
In our time, the U.S. Geological Survey has admitted that the New Madrid fault zone has the “potential for larger and more powerful quakes than previously thought“, and we have seen the number of significant earthquakes in the middle part of the country more than quintuple in recent years.
If a magnitude 7 or magnitude 8 earthquake were to strike along the New Madrid fault today, the damage that would be done would be absolutely unimaginable because of the nature of the Earth’s crust in this region. According to the Missouri Department of Natural Resources, earthquakes along the New Madrid fault “shake and damage an area approximately 20 times larger than earthquakes in California”…
Due to the harder, colder, drier and less fractured nature of the rocks in the earth’s crust in the central United States, earthquakes in this region shake and damage an area approximately 20 times larger than earthquakes in California and most other active seismic areas. Even though large earthquakes occur much less frequently in the NMSZ than in California, the long term average quake threat, in terms of square miles affected per century, is about the same because of the approximately 20 times larger area affected in the central United States.
Are you starting to get an idea of just how devastating this kind of disaster could be?
Once upon a time, our continent almost divided along the New Madrid fault. Of course that didn’t happen, but a massive scar formed deep underground, and this area of weakness has remained ever since. The following comes from Wikipedia…
The faults responsible for the New Madrid Seismic Zone are embedded in a subsurface geological feature known as the Reelfoot Rift that formed during the breakup of the supercontinent Rodinia in the Neoproterozoic Era (about 750 million years ago). The resulting rift system failed to split the continent, but has remained as an aulacogen (a scar or zone of weakness) deep underground, and its ancient faults appear to have made the Earth’s crust in the New Madrid area mechanically weaker than much of the rest of North America.
This relative weakness is important, because it would allow the relatively small east-west compressive forces associated with the continuing continental drift of the North American plate to reactivate old faults around New Madrid, making the area unusually prone to earthquakes in spite of it being far from the nearest tectonic plate boundary.
One day, I believe that a major seismic event in the area of this deep scar will literally divide the United States in half.
What that will do to our country is the kind of stuff that apocalyptic novels are written about.
And it is also important to keep in mind that there are 15 nuclear reactors along the New Madrid fault zone, so if a massive earthquake did strike the region we could be looking at Fukushima times 15.
So yes, I am always concerned whenever a significant earthquake hits the New Madrid fault.

Thanks for this angelburst. I've only been following them more diligently in the last year or two and am no expert but from dutchsinse and the USGS reports an area of interest also seems to be Oklahoma which at the moment seems to shake much more often due to the fracking activity.
So it seems the effected area could be even greater, my geography isn't great but the area looks to be double (google maps says something like)...And with the note about the nuclear reactors, of which i understand many in the US are already old and not so well maintained, is just a recipe for disaster.
In my area of the UK they opened at most 1-3 Frackwells, i think they may have been only 'exploration' wells too, and there was a small earthquake not long after - it cracked the walls of some homes, and was the first of it's kind that i know of:

And there was another bump in the KP index last night too:
Just a note that I would be a bit careful about the information dutchsinse presents. I'm sure he means well, but he has quite some blind spots in regards to chemtrails, Haarp and such that colour his analysis:
So if you watch stuff from him, make sure to take it with a grain of salt as always. For getting an daily overview on earthquakes for example it can be worthwhile to watch his videos, just don't put to much weight on his interpretation of the data.
A much better recourse of getting your daily natural global and solar overview is Suspicious0bservers:
_https://www.youtube.com/user/Suspicious0bservers
He mostly constantly just presents a good deal of current data from the earth and its electrical environment, created by the sun, without that much subjective interpretation. His data is for the most part quite sound, from a scientific standpoint, although he misses the Komet and Nemesis connection.

About dutchsinse, that i did not know, thanks for the heads up. I let his chemtrail business slide because it doesn't always mean the other aspects are wrong, like the Oklahoma fracking issue, but it may explain some other things; HAARP (as mentioned above), his apparent tiff with S0, some of his odd hyping of his discoveries and how he's either constantly under attack or his info is being suppressed and so on.

Interesting article from July of 2015 about 2011 earthquake and tsunami that struck Tohoku, Japan. Seismologists were attending a conf the day it occurred. It brings to light the Cascadia subduction zone.

M3.7 Earthquake in Murcia, Spain today at 1:56pm

Earthquake 3 7 lorca may 3 2016
The National Geographic Institute's recording of the earthquake near Lorca.
A minor earthquake measuring 3.7 on the Richter Scale was recorded near the south-eastern town of Lorca (Murcia) at 1:56 p.m. Spanish time, the National Geographic Institute reported.
A spokesman for Lorca Town Hall told The Spain Report that no damage to buildings or casualties had been reported so far, but that "four or five school canteens in the town centre" had been evacuated just in case: "it was just the shock", he said.
Emergency services in the region said 101 calls about the earthquake had been received, and confirmed no damage or injuries had been reported.
Authorities activated a pre-alert level of earthquake preparedness, began patrolling schools with local police and issued earthquake survival guidelines to residents.
Worried local residents posted on Facebook that buildings and furniture had moved, and that the earthquake had instantly brought back memories of the 2011 disaster.
Lorca suffered a magnitude 5.1 earthquake in 2011 that killed nine people and injured more than 300. That earthquake was preceded almost two hours earlier by a smaller one of magnitude 4.5.
