WORLDWIDE EARTHQUAKE REPORT OCTOBER 08

According to the National Observatory of Athens (NOA) a shallow magnitude 5.2 earthquake was reported on sunday, October 9th, 2022, at 1:02 am local time at a shallow depth of 10 km. Shallow earthquakes are felt more strongly than deeper ones as they are closer to the surface.

For the moment there are no reports of damage. The quake was probably felt by many people in the area of the epicenter. It should not have caused significant damage, other than objects falling from shelves, broken windows, etc.

The average number of earthquakes per day so far in 2022 is 433. Earthquakes greater than magnitude 7 commonly occur more than once a month. "Big earthquakes", magnitude 8 and higher, occur about once a year, (but earthquakes greater than or equal to M8.7 are not so common) So far in 2022, 281 days have passed without an M8+ earthquake.

WORLDWIDE EARTHQUAKE REPORT OCTOBER 12

In the past 24 hours 985 earthquakes were recorded, this figure is higher than the previous 24 hours (848 earthquakes) however, the level of seismic activity so far has been low. This is due to the low magnitude of the recorded earthquakes and the estimated energy released equivalent to 5064 tons of TNT versus 11057 tons in the 24 hours prior to this report.

Two earthquakes in the Mediterranean region

The German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) reported a magnitude 4.4 quake in Italy near Catanzaro, Provincia di Catanzaro, Calabria. The earthquake hit after midnight on Thursday, October 13th, 2022, at 12:44 am local time at a shallow depth of 10 km. Other agencies reporting the same quake include the National Observatory of Athens (NOA) at magnitude 4.7, and the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) at magnitude 4.9. The earthquake should not have caused significant damage, other than objects falling from shelves, broken windows, etc. The estimated energy release was equivalent to 60 tons of TNT

Also the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre reported a earthquake magnitude M4.9 on Turkey. The earthquake hit on October 13th, 2022, at 02:09 am local time at a depth of 31.8 km

Moderate earthquake rattles East Siberia’s Irkutsk – rescuers​

According to local seismologists, its magnitude was 7.9
IRKUTSK, October 14. /TASS/. An earthquake near Lake Baikal was felt in Irkutsk, an eastern Siberian city with a population of over 600,000 on Friday, the press service of the regional emergencies ministry department said.

According to local seismologists, it was a magnitude 7.9 seismic event (classed as ‘major’ on the Richter magnitude scale) at the epicenter, but was felt as a magnitude 5.0 tremor (moderate) in the regional administrative center of Irkutsk.

"At 08:54 (local time, 03:54 Moscow time) this morning, on October 14, a seismic event with subsequent aftershocks was registered. Its epicenter was located in Lake Baikal, 19 km east of the town of Bolshoye Goloustnoye in the Irkutsk Region," the press service said in a statement. "It was felt as a magnitude 5.0 earthquake in the city of Irkutsk."
The European Mediterranean Seismological Center said it was a magnitude 5.0 tremor.

The Irkutsk Region department of the Russian emergencies ministry has created a crisis center to respond to the event. Irkutsk Region Governor Igor Kobzev said municipal authorities should send groups of experts to examine buildings on their territory for potential damage.

No damage or casualties have been reported in Irkutsk, the city administration’s press service said.
"The city’s emergency services are gathering information about the consequences of the quake. Utility services are examining residential buildings. Social facilities and utility infrastructure are also being examined," the administration said in a statement. "Citizens did not report any damage to buildings. No damage or casualties have so far been confirmed."
The earthquake was also felt in the nearby region of Buryatia and its capital Ulan-Ude, but no damage or casualties were reported there as well.

A strong earthquake magnitude 5.0 struck near Hilo, Hawaii County, Hawaii, USA. The tremor was recorded in the morning on Friday, October 14th, 2022, at 9:07 am local time (19:07:29 UTC) at a shallow depth of 5.6 miles (9.0 km) Twenty-four seconds before the M5.0 a M4.6 foreshock occurred. Up to 21:27 UTC, twelve aftershocks had been registered. The highest magnitude aftershock was 4.0 and happened at 19:16 UTC, the rest of the aftershocks had a magnitude between 2 and 3.9 degrees. The area in which Hawaii is located is one of the most seismically active due to a chain of volcanoes with an extension of more than 5800 km. There are no reports of damage so far

Hawaii 2.0: Two earthquakes rumble 🌋 just seconds apart

Two quakes measuring M4.6 and M5.1 struck Hawaii's Mauna Loa - the largest active volcano in Hawaii - which is now believed to be in a “state of heightened unrest". (USGS)

Experts are now watching closely as earthquakes (albeit stronger ones) have triggered eruptions in the past, with aftershocks expected to continue for several days.

Officials have so far ruled out any tsunami threat.
