WORLDWIDE EARTHQUAKE REPORT JANUARY 28/2023

Strong quake in northwest Iran kills at least three people​


An earthquake with a magnitude of 5.9 struck northwest Iran near the border with Turkey on Saturday, killing at least three people and injuring more than 300, state media reported.

The official news agency IRNA reported the toll citing the head of emergency services at the university in the city of Khoy, near the quake's epicentre.

An emergency official told state TV that it was snowing in some of the affected areas, with freezing temperatures and some power cuts reported.

Major geological faultlines crisscross Iran, which has suffered several devastating earthquakes in recent years.

Strange waves rippled around the world, and nobody knows why

On the morning of November 11, just before 9:30 UT, a mysterious rumble rolled around the world.
The seismic waves began roughly 15 miles off the shores of Mayotte, a French island sandwiched between Africa and the northern tip of Madagascar. The waves buzzed across Africa, ringing sensors in Zambia, Kenya, and Ethiopia. They traversed vast oceans, humming across Chile, New Zealand, Canada, and even Hawaii nearly 11,000 miles away.
These waves didn't just zip by; they rang for more than 20 minutes. And yet, it seems, no human felt them.
A+Mystery+Seismic+Wave+Just+Swept+Earth+%281%29.jpg
(Pierre) What was the cause of this monochromatic earthquake that lasted 20 minutes last month off the coast of Madagascar?

A: Grand chamber collapse deep underground. Like a deep sinkhole. And extremely large!!!

● Earthquake Forecast:
A convergence of some critical planetary and lunar geometry on 29-30 January could result in stronger seismic activity from 29 to 31 January, potentially reaching higher 6 or even 7 magnitude in a worst-case scenario.

Very strong mag. 6.0 earthquake - 4 Km SSW of Monkayo, Philippines

17.953°N 70.353°W. 45.1 km depth
USGS earthquake alert
A magnitude 5.0 earthquake near Bani, Baní,
There are videos of the moment of the M5.0 earthquake in Dominican Republic. As mentioned, this earthquake was felt by many people in the area of the epicenter.

The earth trembled, strong tremor. This is how it looked while the Kapicua radio program was being broadcasted.
At the moment of giving the news of the landslide in La Vega, there was an earth tremor in the middle of the program and this was the reaction.

The Dominican Republic, over the years, has been fortunate to be a region with little serious seismic activity, therefore it is alarming when a telluric movement of considerable magnitude is registered.

The most relevant events of this nature occurred in 1887 (M7.0), 1946 (M8.1) 1962 (M6.7), 2003 (M6.4) and 2010 (M7.2) with the 1946 event being the most powerful to date.

On August 4, 1946, the town of Matanza, in what is now Maria Trinidad Sanchez province, was severely shaken by an 8.1 earthquake. It is speculated that the phenomenon destroyed more than 200 houses and although there is no specific figure, it has been reported that the death toll exceeded 1,000.

Let us pray that this M5.0 earthquake is not a foreshock.

Later at 07:26 UTC on February 02 was registered a M4.4 in Jamaica.
