Rare earthquake rattles off Florida coast
Updated: 9:31 AM EST Feb 8, 2024

Very interesting that an earthquake happened that close to Florida. And what makes it even better is it happened right by Cape Canaveral.

WORLDWIDE EARTHQUAKE REPORT FEBRUARY 11_2024

Low levels of seismic activity occurred in the past 24 hours. It took more than 24 hours for an M5 earthquake to be recorded and this one occurred northeast of New Zealand with a magnitude of 5.0 in the Kermadec Islands.

Eight hours later another moderate earthquake struck in Myanmar with an equal magnitude 5.0. So far the largest event has occurred off the northern coast of Chile with a magnitude 5.4.

The total number of earthquakes recorded worldwide in the last 24 hours has increased to 960 which is above normal activity. There was a slight upturn in seismic activity of volcanoes in Iceland, however, Clear lake volcano continues to be the most active volcano with 42 events, followed by Salton Buttes volcano with 22 events. Both are in the state of California, US.

According to Volcano earthquake report, volcano earthquake swarm occurred in:​

Brennisteinsfjöll (13 quakes between mag 0.2-1.2), Campi Flegrei (17 quakes between mag 0.1-1.7), Clear Lake (42 quakes between mag 0.3-1.5), Fagradalsfjall (19 quakes between mag 0.4-1.0), Hrómundartindur (6 quakes between mag 0.1-1.5), Kilauea (8 quakes between mag 1.7-2.5), Krísuvík (11 quakes between mag 0.3-2.1), Salton Buttes (22 quakes between mag 1.0-2.9)​

Strongest volcanic earthquake occurred at Renakah Volcano with a magnitude of 3.0 in Kabupaten Manggarai, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, on Sunday, Feb 11, 2024, at 09:06 pm (Makassar time)

WORLDWIDE EARTHQUAKE REPORT FEBRUARY 12_2024

Moderate levels of seismic activity occurred in the past 24 hours. Japan Meteorological Agency reported a earthquake M6.3 which was later adjusted to M6.1 The epicenter was located 821.7 km (510.6 miles) NNE of Saipan, Northern Marianna Islands.The USGS issued a Green alert for shaking-related fatalities and economic losses.

In recent days we have had, on the one hand, low levels of seismic activity or a seismic silence of earthquakes greater than or equal to M5.0 and on the other hand, a strong Interplanetary Magnetic Field (IMF) that usually coincides with significant seismic events.​

O.k we have gone more than 24 hours without an M5+ quake the last two occurred in the Philippines. Let's wait and see. The ball is rolling on the roulette wheel. (09:24 UTC)

Total IMF reached 19 nT at 01:56 UTC which is a strong impact to the Earth's magnetic field. (Could we expect a significant seismic event in the next few days? There is potential, we will have to wait and see)

However, although this M6.1 will have repercussions towards Japan and towards the Pacific to reach North America, it is not the earthquake that we expect to initiate a sequence or chain of earthquakes. We have to wait.

Southern California was shaken by an M4.8 earthquake which was initially reported by SSN as a preliminary magnitude 5.3. This M4.8 is very close to Jesús Ramos' forecast and is a consequence of seismic activity in Loreto BCS in the Gulf of Mexico. Several aftershocks have been reported ranging from M2 to M3 with an M4.6 aftershock being the largest.
​

For Southern California an M5.0 and worst case M5.8 earthquake could be expected while for the Texas and New Mexico area an M4+ earthquake with a worst case scenario of M5.0 could be expected. In fact, today an M4.1 earthquake was recorded northeast of the state of Chihuahua, Mexico.

The total number of earthquakes recorded worldwide in the last 24 hours has increased to 1178 which is above normal activity. The increase in seismic activity was mainly due to volcanic activity in Iceland but also to the seismic swarm in Southern California US.

According to Volcano earthquake report, volcano earthquake swarm occurred in:​

Brennisteinsfjöll (9 quakes between mag 0.2-1.0), Clear Lake (38 quakes between mag 0.3-1.3), Fagradalsfjall (24 quakes between mag 0.2-1.6), Hrómundartindur (8 quakes between mag 0.1-1.7) Kilauea (13 quakes between mag 1.8-2.9), Krísuvík (26 quakes between mag 0.1-1.5), Reykjanes (9 quakes between mag 0.1-1.1)

Strongest volcanic earthquake occurred at Kirishima Volcano with a magnitude of 2.8 near Kagoshima city Japan on Monday, Feb 12, 2024, at 11:01 am local time

WORLDWIDE EARTHQUAKE REPORT FEBRUARY 14_2024

Moderate levels of seismic activity occurred in the past 24 hours. Two strong M6.0 earthquakes occurred and M5+ earthquakes concentrated in the southwestern Pacific Ocean. The first of the M6.0 earthquakes occurred off the northern coast of Chile. The epicenter was located 83.8 km WSW of Vallenar (population 44 895), and 113.2 km NNW of La Serena (population 154 521), Coquimbo Region.
3 000 people are estimated to have felt strong shaking, another 3 000 moderate and 558 000 light. The USGS issued a Green alert for shaking-related fatalities and economic losses.

The second M6.0 hit the State of Yap, Federated States of Micronesia. The epicenter was located about 172.2 km NNE of Colonia, Micronesia. 2 000 people are estimated to have felt light shaking and 8 000 weak. The USGS issued a Green alert for shaking-related fatalities and economic losses.

The energy from the Micronesia earthquake immediately moved across the fault system into nearby regions: Japan (M5.2), Philippines (M5.0), Vanuatu (M5.8), Kermadec Islands (M5.1) recorded moderate to strong seismic activity. On the other hand, energy from Chile moved toward the South Sandwich Islands (M5.7 & M5.2) and Pacific-Antarctic Ridge (M5.1)

The total number of earthquakes recorded worldwide in the last 24 hours has decreased to 879 which is within normal activity. This was due in part to decreased seismic activity in Iceland's volcanoes.

According to Volcano earthquake report, volcano earthquake swarm occurred in:​

Clear Lake (21 quakes between mag 0.3-1.9), Eldey (14 quakes between mag 0.6-1.9), Hrómundartindur (8 quakes between mag 0.2-1.7), Salton Buttes (27 quakes between mag 1.1-4.0)

WORLDWIDE EARTHQUAKE REPORT FEBRUARY 15_2024

Moderate levels of seismic activity occurred in the past 24 hours. A new aftershock of the M7.5 earthquake in the Noto Japan, at the beginning of the year, occurredwith M5.0. While another M5.0 aftershock occurr7ed on the border of Kyrgyzstan with Xinjiang, which as recalled had an M7.0 and also happened at the beginning of the year.

A strong magnitude 5.2 earthquake hit 13 Km NNW of Chancay, Peru in the early afternoon of Thursday, The quake had a shallow depth of 67 km and was felt over a large region. The closest larger town where the quake might have been felt is Lima, the capital of Peru with 7,700,000 inhabitants, in 72 km distance southeast of the epicenter. People likely experienced weak shaking there.

An M5.1 earthquake shook the Loreto region in the Gulf of California. A few days ago the region had recorded an M4+ seismic swarm with an M4.8 being the largest. The energy from this earthquake M5.1 will move northward and in fact the San Felipe region in Baja California recorded three earthquakes of magnitudes 4.0, 4.2 and 4.3 We will have to wait and see if a response occurs around the M5+ in California and Texas as it was forecasted


The total number of earthquakes recorded worldwide in the last 24 hours has increased to 1024 which is above normal activity. This was due in part to the increased seismic activity in Iceland's volcanoes.

According to Volcano earthquake report, volcano earthquake swarm occurred in:​

Brennisteinsfjöll (10 quakes between mag 0.1-1.2), Clear Lake (37 quakes between mag 0.2-2.3), Eldey (10 quakes between mag 0.4-1.8), Hrómundartindur (10 quakes between mag 0.1-1.0)

WORLDWIDE EARTHQUAKE REPORT FEBRUARY 16_2024

Low levels of seismic activity occurred in the past 24 hours. An M5.1 earthquake was recorded in the Izu Islands in Japan. This earthquake may be an aftershock of the M6.1 earthquake of last October 6, 2023 or a response to the M6.0 earthquake in Micronesia last February 14. What is a fact is that the Japan region is having light to moderate activity in recent days. This is not to say that it is unusual, but a significant event could occur after the Micronesia earthquake.

The same is true for the M5.2 earthquake in the Vanuatu region, which recorded an M5.8 earthquake on February 14. The Vanuatu-Tonga-Kermadec region is also recording M5+ activity. This could lead to a significant event in the next few days.

A moderate M3.6 earthquake hit 3 Km ESE of Ontario, CA late in the evening of Thursday, Feb 15, 2024 at 11.38 pm local time. The quake had a shallow depth of 13 km and was felt widely in the area, according to USGS. No injuries or structural damage were immediately reported.​

Southern California is again busy this morning. This is only about half of what’s been happening in the last few days. We had a pretty good shake a couple of minutes ago, which got my attention.

The energy is moving north of California, in the last few days we had an M5.1 earthquake in the Gulf of Mexico, yesterday an M4+ seismic swarm in San Felipe region, Baja California.​

According to Volcanodiscovery the largest quake near the epicenter of this quake M3.6 during the 10 years before was an event of magnitude 7.1. It had occurred 5 years earlier, on Friday, Jul 5, 2019 The latest analysis by Jesus Ramos points to an M4+ or at worst M5.7 event for this region between now and February 21.

The total number of earthquakes recorded worldwide in the last 24 hours has increased to 1049 which is above normal activity. This was due in part to the increased seismic activity in volcanoes around the globe.

According to Volcano earthquake report, volcano earthquake swarm occurred in:​

Clear Lake (30 quakes between mag 0.3-1.7) Eldey (41 quakes between mag 0.5-2.4), Etna

Strongest volcanic earthquake occurred at Kirishima volcano with a magnitude of 2.9 Southern Miyazaki prefecture on Friday, Feb 16, 2024, at 11:30 pm (GMT +9)

WORLDWIDE EARTHQUAKE REPORT FEBRUARY 17_2024

VERY Low levels!! of seismic activity occurred in the past 24 hours. An M4.7 earthquake shook southeast Texas. This earthquake is a result of the energy movement of the M5.7 earthquake in Hawaii.​

For Southern California an M5.0 and worst case M5.8 earthquake could be expected while for the Texas and New Mexico area an M4+ earthquake with a worst case scenario of M5.0 ...

Will we see a significant event (M5+) in California in the next few days?

The total number of earthquakes recorded worldwide in the last 24 hours has decreased to 863 which is within the normal range of activity.

According to Volcano earthquake report, volcano earthquake swarm occurred in:​

Bardarbunga (9 quakes between mag 0.3-3.7), Brennisteinsfjöll (8 quakes between mag 0.5-1.3), Clear Lake (28 quakes between mag 0.3-2.5), Eldey (21 quakes between mag 1.4-3.2), Etna (6 quakes between mag 1.0-1.3), Fagradalsfjall (8 quakes between mag 0.1-1.2)

WORLDWIDE EARTHQUAKE REPORT FEBRUARY 18_2024

Moderate levels of seismic activity occurred in the past 24 hours. Three seismic events M5.0, M5.3 and M5.6 occurred in the Tonga region. The M5.6 earthquake occurred at a depth of 212 km, deep earthquakes like this are common in this region of the world, however, this seismic sequence could indicate an event around M6 low.

Another M4 5 earthquake shook the Gulf of Mexico in the Loreto region. It is expected that this energy will be directed northward. Last time this was associated with a seismic swarm in San Felipe Baja California.

The total number of earthquakes recorded worldwide in the last 24 hours has decreased to 837 which is within the normal range of activity.​

According to Volcano earthquake report, volcano earthquake swarm occurred in:

Clear Lake (36 quakes between mag 0.3-2.0), Fagradalsfjall (19 quakes between mag 0.2-1.1)

Strongest volcanic earthquake occurred at Haku-san volcano with a magnitude of 3.5 located 45 km east of Fukui-shi, Fukui, Japan, on Sunday, Feb 18, 2024, at 07:47 pm (GMT +9)
