In his latest video SSGEOS forecast for the coming days a clustering of earthquakes. In the past 24 hours around the Ring of Fire most of the activity above magnitude 4 has been recorded, although this activity is not unusual throughout the region (Chile, Indonesia, Japan) Outside the ring of fire we find that the Caribbean plate has been active and this is mainly concentrated in the Puerto Rico region. While in the eastern Mediterranean region Turkey continues to record activity above magnitude 4, a magnitude 4.5 earthquake was recorded in Italy and a magnitude 4.5 in Cyprus.

Very Strong Earthquake Turkey

I was just reading reports from family and friends in Cyprus that they felt a strong earthquake in the capital, Nicosia, and it was from the new Turkey quake.

These poor people in the affected areas!

Earthquake registering 6.3 hits Turkey-Syria border region -EMSC​

ANTAKYA, Feb 20 (Reuters) - An earthquake, with a magnitude 6.3 at a depth of two km (1.2 miles), struck the Turkey-Syria border region on Monday, the European Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) said.

Two Reuters witnesses reported a strong quake and further damage to buildings in central Antakya which was hit by two massive earthquakes two weeks ago, causing tens of thousands of deaths and destroying buildings and infrastructure.

Other witnesses said Turkish rescue teams were running around after the latest quake, checking people were unharmed.

Muna Al Omar, a resident, said she was in a tent in a park in central Antakya when the earthquake hit.

"I thought the earth was going to split open under my feet," she said, crying as she held her 7-year-old son in her arms.

"Is there going to be another aftershock?" she asked.
