Strong quake strikes Indonesia's Seram island, no tsunami risk
A 6.8-magnitude earthquake hit Seram island in Indonesia’s eastern Maluku province early on Thursday causing damage to some buildings, but there was no risk of a tsunami, Indonesia’s geophysics agency said. A spokesman for the agency said it was possible buildings in the area could be damaged.
The U.S. Geological Survey put the magnitude at 6.5.
Agus Wibowo, a spokesman for Indonesia’s disaster mitigation agency said in Ambon, some 40 km (25 miles) from the epicentre, a university building was slightly damaged and a bridge cracked.
Indonesia, which sits on the seismically active Pacific Ring of Fire, is all too familiar with deadly earthquakes and tsunamis. In 2004, a quake off Sumatra island triggered a tsunami across the Indian Ocean that killed 226,000 people in 14 countries, including more than 120,000 in Indonesia.
Palu, on Sulawesi island west of Maluku, was devastated by a 7.5 magnitude earthquake and a powerful tsunami it created in September 2018. More than 4,000 people died there.

5.8-magnitude earthquake hits Sea of Marmara at 1059GMT, off Silivri district
Gözde Bayar |26.09.2019
ANKARA (AA) – A powerful earthquake struck the Turkish metropolis Istanbul on Thursday, according to Turkey's Disaster and Emergency Management Presidency (AFAD).
AFAD said a 5.8-magnitude earthquake centered in the Sea of Marmara hit at 1.59 p.m. (1059GMT).
The earthquake, off Silivri district, occurred at a depth of 6.99 kilometers (4.3 miles), some 22 km (13.6 mi) from Silivri.
The region was also shaken by aftershocks.
A 3.6-magnitude earthquake also shook Istanbul earlier today, at 10.32 a.m. (0732GMT), said AFAD. The epicenter of the quake was the Sea of Marmara.
On Tuesday, a 4.6-magnitude earthquake also hit off Silivri, according to AFAD.
In addition to Istanbul, Turkey's most populous city, the earthquake was also felt in nearby urban areas such as Kocaeli, Sakarya, Tekirdag, Edirne and Kirklareli.
Kocaeli Governor Huseyin Aksoy and AFAD officials in Sakarya told Anadolu Agency that no negative outcome of the quake has been reported so far.
The Istanbul Governorship said primary and secondary schools have been temporarily suspended today due to the quake, while there are no reports of damage as yet.
Aftershocks could create an energy which will break the earth’s crust, Kerem Kinik, Turkish Red Crescent head, said on Twitter.
Kinik urged citizens to leave their houses which were damaged and risky to stay in. The buildings established before 1999 faces a risk of demolition, he warned.

Looking at all the earthquakes for the last 7 days of all sizes is quite revealing as it comes to the US. There is a lot of activity. 2875 earthquakes out of the total of 3362.
Percentage: 85.5%
A sign of massive stress below. Here is a screenshot:
I decided to take a screenshot again, now 2 weeks later - also over the US and found that 2089 out of 2549 worldwide for the last 7 days were in the US. That amounts to 82.0% compared to 85.5% two weeks ago. A very similar picture:
