Earthquakes around the world

[Windmill knight]

The following video shows a 'strange creature' found two days ago on a beach in Acapulco, Mexico. They don't know what it is, but they speculate it might be a giant squid. If so, giant squids are only meant to live in very deep waters, which is why it has been next to impossible to film or study them. So, whatever it is, assuming it is a critter from the deep, then it is an anomaly that it reached a beach, which might be another sign of disturbances along the Pacific shores, i.e. the Ring of Fire. Recall that there was a Japanese legend that when a certain fish from the deep is washed ashore, it is a message about an impending earthquake.

I think you are right Windmill knight, because the week report (4-12 March, 2016) of National Seismologic Services, mention that there had been 233 earthquakes above 3 magnitude mostly at the pacific coast, and more within Guerrero, Oaxaca and Chiapas states. _http://www2.ssn.unam.mx:8080/website/jsp/semanal.jsp, the last four days there had been 99 earthquakes above 3 magnitude _http://www2.ssn.unam.mx:8080/ultimos.html

Add: is seem to not be that recently, there is a catalogue, and February had 760 eartquakes above 3 magnitude, January had 962 above 3 magnitude, Decembre (2015) 1072, that is not good, I think.

I also wonder if it was caught up in an undersea volcanic eruption...

DUSHANBE, March 18. /TASS/. A magnitude 5.3 hit Tajikistan’s mountainous areas in the vicinity of Lake Sarez, a spokesman for the Tajik Academy of Sciences’ Geophysical Service told TASS on Friday.

"The epicenter of the earthquake measuring 5.3 points on the Richter scale was located near Lake Sarez in the mountains some 330 kilometers southeast of the capital city of Dushanbe," the spokesman said, adding that earth tremors were felt in the city of Khorog, the administrative center of the Gorno-Badakhshan autonomous region, and in Dushanbe.

No information is immediately available about damage caused by the earthquake.

This was the third major quake near Lake Sarez in the past four months. Lake Sarez emerged in 1911 after a devastating earthquake. The most powerful earthquake of a magnitude 7.2 hit the Pamir Mountains in early December 2015.

"This is an unusually large quake for Sweden"

Seismologists says a 4.0-magnitude earthquake stuck late Saturday off the Baltic coastline of northern Sweden, where locals reported feeling the ground shake but no damage.

Sat. Mar. 19, 2016 - The quake occurred at 10:55 pm and was located about 60 kilometers southeast of the town of Piteå in the Gulf of Bothnia. Many residents of the town and neighboring Luleå described feeling the quake.

Reports of the ground shaking have also come from as far as Böle, Älvsbyn, Boden and Nyborg in Norrbotten county.

After the earthquake, the area's emergency dispatcher center SOS Alarm was swamped with phone calls.

"This is an unusually large quake for Sweden. These kinds of quakes occur perhaps once every 10 years in Sweden," Uppsala University seismologist Reynir Bödvarsson says.

No damage or injuries were reported as of Sunday afternoon.

Something is going on there, this weekend they found a dead whale in Maria Colotepec, Oaxaca http://www.sott.net/article/314928-Rorqual-whale-found-dead-on-Mexico-beach; and that is close (400 km) to Acapulco, well relatively speaking :P ... according to National Seismologic, this weekend were around 35 earthquakes above 3 magnitude and 4 off shore, at those states (Oaxaca, Guerrero) ... but I am not longer sure if that may be the cause. Recalling the death of the turtles last year http://www.sott.net/article/292193-150-sea-turtles-found-dead-in-Mexican-Pacific-lagoon, and there were more this year _http://oaxacadiaadia.com/2016/02/06/investigan-extrana-muerte-y-varamiento-de-tortugas-en-oaxaca/, both cases within the same area.
