WORLDWIDE EARTHQUAKE REPORT APRIL 28_2024

Low levels of seismic activity occurred in the past 24 hours. So far, the Sun-Mercury-Saturn planetary geometry has not triggered a significant earthquake, nor has the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) had a strong impact in the last 24 hours as it happened in the past days. The total value of the IMF has been around 6.5 nT max. 7.14 nT which is low impact.

WORLDWIDE EARTHQUAKE REPORT MAY 03_2024

Moderate levels of seismic activity occurred in the past 24 hours. A strong magnitude 5.7 earthquake occurred in the Philippine Sea near Homonhon Island Island. According to USGS the quake might have been felt by over 13.8 million people across the Philippines. The closest larger town where the quake might have been felt is Tacloban City, a city with more than 240,000 inhabitants in the Philippines, in 53 km distance northwest of the epicenter. USGS issued a Green alert for shaking-related fatalities and economic losses. So far, 17 aftershocks have been detected. The strongest was a magnitude 3.5 quake that hit 4 hours after the mainshock. The strongest-ever (since 1900) recorded quake in this area measured magnitude 7.8. It occurred 73 years ago.

Davao, Philippines seismic station located at 423 km from epicenter recorded the following seismogram

EARTHQUAKE FORECAST

updated 6 May 2024, 12:00 UTC

Lunar conjunctions on 3-4 May can result in a strong shake, potentially reaching higher 6 magnitude, most likely later on 6 or early 7 May.

Mercury and Venus will be in a conjunction with Uranus on 7 May, right before New Moon. This can result in a cluster of stronger tremors approaching magnitude 6 and perhaps a larger earthquake, most likely from 8 to 10 May. Mercury and Venus also conjunct Jupiter on 11 May. Earth will be in a conjunction with the Sun and Uranus on 13 May.
