Edit: The earthquake was preceded the hour before hand by an Earthquake west of the site in New Caledonia (4.6) and one south just south of there in Raoul Island (5.1). I think one could likely call them foreshocks.

More bad news for the beleaguered Japanese prefecture of Fukushima, as a powerful earthquake shook cities and halted train services. No damage or injuries were reported in the second major earthquake since November 2016.
New Powerful 5.6 Earthquake Rocks Fukushima
https://sputniknews.com/asia/201703011051134961-fukushima-new-powerful-earthquake-aftershock/
01.03.2017 - The undersea earthquake, 21 miles from the nearest settlement and striking at a depth of 26 miles beneath sea level, measured a magnitude 5.6 on the Richter Scale according to the US Geological Survey.
The quake was powerful enough to cause buildings to shake as far away as Tokyo, about 180 miles south. No damage was reported to any of Fukushima's nuclear reactors.
Seismologists Register Magnitude 5.0 Earthquake off Russia's Kamchatka

A 5.0 magnitude earthquake has struck off the coast of Russia's Kamchatka peninsula, the Euro-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) said Monday.
The tremors were recorded at 01:21 GMT 108 kilometers (67 miles) away from Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky at a depth of 57 kilometers.
No damage or loss of life have been reported. The information has not been corroborated by the Russian Academy of Sciences Geophysical Survey Federal Research Center.

Thanks for the link to the video...agreed a good summary. Casey offers a convincing argument, a timetable, as well as an overview of a very different lifestyle adaptation in a very short couple of years, given food supply changes are already occurring. A wakeup call indeed. Appreciate the information and intend to order the book.
KJN said:
Good deal KJN - the book is a great read and backed up in REAL science - so unlike what we see today coming out of NOAA/NASA and most of the academic community. Attached below is the latest USGS hazard map shown in contours of ground acceleration risk. USGS gives this a 2% chance over 50 years. Casey's analysis puts it at 80% chance between 2017 and 2038. I think Casey is conservative for the New Madrid zone.

Yesterday a 5.1 magnitude earthquake hit East Kazakhstan, which was also felt here, in Novosibirsk, although just mildly. Quakes are actually rare here, especially strong ones. However, here is today's news from the local scientists (not very good quality of translation from Russian unfortunately, couldn't find a better version yet):

About 25 minutes ago I felt that my chair was shaking.I am at my workplace on the first floor. It was an earthquake.
I checked on the internet to see where was the epicenter.
I was in Albania. If you take a straight line from the epicenter to the place where I live in Macedonia it's about 80 km.
Here are some details:
