The Living Force
This time I was leaning back in my old chair, which started to shake while I had the headphones on, and then the usual quietness returned quietly, as if nothing had happened.Oh yeah, I had just finished lunch when I felt my couch shake in the first quake at about 2:57pm, then as I was having my tea on the balcony, logged on to the Forum, that the second quake hit, and well feel 4.6 in magnitude, I was able to repeat to myself twice (among other things) "and if the balcony falls off, what should I do?!?"
On the floor below, my 10 year old "nephew" came in tears, it was his first panic earthquake, we had a good laugh when I asked him where he should go in such a situation, and he answered "lock himself in a wardrobe".
So I forgot to log out of the Forum before I left.
So those of you who were online at the time may have felt a little jolt.
Here is a camera that is still shaking!

Quake Prediction Says "Signal Just Hit," Warns Of Potential Big Earthquake From San Francisco To LA
An earthquake rattled parts of Northern California on Sunday for the second time in two weeks. The 5.4-magnitude quake was centered about 30 miles south of Eureka. On Dec. 20, a 6.4-magnitude earthquake also struck near Eureka.
Now one quake prediction research firm warned that the next big one could be imminent.
On Monday morning, Quake Predictions published a warning that read for the next two days -- there is a "dangerous situation" of the likelihood of a 7.0-magnitude "in the San Francisco Bay to NW of Los Angeles area."
The warning comes after two sizeable quakes hit Northern California in less than two weeks.
Sunday morning's earthquake was described as "more violent this time," Rio Dell Mayor Debra Garnes told CNN in an interview.
"It was shorter but more violent. My refrigerator moved two feet. Things came out of the refrigerator. There's a crack in my wall from the violence of it," Garnes said.
California has an average of five earthquakes per year with magnitudes between 5 and 6, according to LATimes. And the latest shakings might suggest a long overdue big quake could be nearing.

Tsunami warning after 7.2 magnitude earthquake strikes Pacific island nation
People have been urged to 'move way from the coast and reach a higher place'.
metro.co.uk
It struck some 15 miles from Port-Olry, also hitting at a depth of 17 miles, the US Geological Survey said earlier today.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center issued a tsunami warning for coasts located within 186 miles of the epicenter.
‘Tsunami waves reaching 0.3 to 1 meters above the tide level are possible for some coasts of Vanuatu,’ a warning said.
There have been no immediate reports of damage to buildings or casualties.
But the European Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) has urged people to ‘move way from the coast and reach a higher place’ immediately.
Vanuatu is home to about 280,000 people and is prone to natural disasters.
There are about six active volcanoes as well as regular cyclones and earthquakes.
The country sits on the Pacific ‘Ring of Fire’, the arc of seismic faults around the Pacific Ocean where earthquakes and volcanoes are common.
Last week saw 1 M7 being a M7.0 in Vanuatu.
In the usual area, there was 1 out of 103 earthquakes worldwide equal to or greater than 4.5 and 1376 out of 1834 quakes of all sizes.
Percentage: 75.0%
Jan. 8 (UPI) -- A 7.0-magnitude earthquake shook the Pacific archipelago of Vanuatu on Sunday, trigguring a tsunami warning in nearby waters.

The M7.0 earthquake had an estimated seismic energy release of 29.8 atomic bombs according to Volcanodiscovery.

Earthquake Forecast
A convergence of planetary geometry on 7 January may trigger larger seismic activity around 9 January. Planetary and lunar geometry with Saturn on 10 January may cause larger seismic activity around 13 January.
Could the X1.2 flare from January 6, 2023 have had any influence on the magnitude 7.0 earthquake in Vanuatu?

Earthquake magnitude 7.2 in Vanuatu was updated to magnitude 7.0 at 24 km (15 mi) WNW of Port-Olry (Sanma) (pop: 1,950) The tremor was recorded late at night on Sunday, January 8th, 2023, at 11:32 pm local time, at a shallow depth of 27.7 km below the surface. Gaua is the nearest volcano located at 100 km from epicenter. Gaua is one of the most remote and most active volcanoes of the Vanuatu archipel, located on the island with the same name in the West Banks.
The M7.0 earthquake had an estimated seismic energy release of 29.8 atomic bombs according to Volcanodiscovery.
