Very strong magnitude 6.2 earthquake occurred in the Philippine Sea. No aftershocks have been recorded so far. The earthquake was the strongest to hit this part of Indonesia in over 2 years. This region can produce M8+ earthquakes. The strongest-ever recorded quake in this area measured M8.1 and occurred 101 years ago.​

The earthquakes occurred after the April 21 planetary geometries involving Mercury, Venus, Saturn and Uranus as well as the lunar geometries involving Jupiter and Mars.

A critical planetary geometry will occur on April 22 involving Mercury, Venus and Uranus. This configuration usually triggers major seismic events, as noted by SSGEOS possibly around April 23. So far the first part of their forecast was accurate.​
SSGEOS forecast
A convergence of planetary and lunar geometry on 21-22 April can result in stronger seismic activity. A temporal cluster of higher 5 to 6 magnitude is likely. A larger earthquake is possible around the 23rd.​
 
Strong seismic activity continues around Australia region

M5.1 earthquake was the strongest to hit this part of Australia in over 31 years.

Istanbul rocked by powerful 6.2 magnitude shallow earthquake
nnnnnn
An earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 6.2 has shaken Istanbul, Turkey's emergency management agency said.

There were no immediate reports of any damage or injuries.

The earthquake had a shallow depth of about six miles, according to the United States Geological Survey.

Its epicentre was some 25 miles south-west of Istanbul in the Sea of Marmara.

It was followed by several aftershocks, including one measuring 5.3. The disaster and emergency management agency urged residents to stay away from buildings.


The earthquake was felt in neighbouring regions, reports said. Many people rushed out of their homes in panic.

Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality said there were no "serious cases" in the earthquake in a statement made on its social media accounts.

Kemal Cebi, the mayor of the Kucukcekmece district in western Istanbul, told local broadcaster NTV that there were "no negative developments yet" but he reported that there were traffic jams and that many buildings were already at risk due to the density of the area.

Turkey is crossed by two major fault lines and earthquakes are frequent.

A 7.8 magnitude earthquake on February 6 2023, and a second powerful tremor that came hours later, destroyed or damaged hundreds of thousands of buildings in 11 southern and south-eastern Turkish provinces, leaving more than 53,000 people dead.

Another 6,000 people were killed in the northern parts of neighbouring Syria.

While Istanbul was not impacted by that earthquake, the devastation heightened fears of a similar quake with experts citing the city's proximity to fault lines.

In a bid to prevent damage from any future quake, both the national government and local administrations started urban reconstruction projects to fortify buildings at risk and started campaigns of demolishing buildings at risk of collapse.

Very strong mag. 6.2 Earthquake in the Sea of Marmara, Turkey. As expected, the planetary geometry of Mercury, Venus and Uranus tends to trigger significant seismic events. So far, 3 aftershocks ≥M4 have been recorded after M6.2 earthquake.​

According to SSGEOS it is possible more aftershocks. Let us hope that there will not be an aftershock like the M6+ earthquake.


The earthquake was the strongest to hit this part of Turkey in over 25 years. The strongest in this area had a magnitude of 7.6 and occurred 26 years ago. So far, there are no reports of casualties or material damage after the earthquake.
 
A very strong magnitude 6.3 earthquake occurred in Ecuador.

A earthquake swarm has been recorded in the Dominican Republic between April 26 and April 27

Volcanodiscovery confirm that the Dominican Republic experienced 13 quakes of magnitude 3.0 or higher in the 24 hours leading up to April 27

These events, clustered in the same northeastern offshore region near Punta Cana, indicate a swarm-like pattern, as they involve multiple quakes of similar magnitude without a dominant mainshock. At least 13 earthquakes of magnitude ≥3.0 have occurred in the last 24 hours. So far, M3.7 earthquake has been the strongest.

While these quakes are relatively minor and align with the Dominican Republic’s frequent seismic activity due to its tectonic setting, they constitute a small swarm. 79 years ago, Dominican Republic region, was hit by a magnitude 7.7 quake.

Several aftershocks have occurred and so far a 5.7 earthquake has been the highest magnitude.

● M 5.7 - 279 km SSE of Ushuaia, Argentina
2025-05-02 13:09:40 (UTC) USGS

According to Volcanodiscovery​
Strongest in 125 years
The earthquake was the strongest to hit this part of Chile since at least the beginning of the previous century (our records start in 1900). No other quake of equal or greater strength had occurred near the present epicenter since then.​

Strong earthquake in Papua New Guinea

M 5.8 - 121 km SE of Panguna, Papua New Guinea

This earthquake of Magnitude 5.8 belongs to the seismic cluster that occurred between May 1 and May 2, Including the M5.2 earthquake in Mexico and M5.4 in Argentina.

● M 5.0 - South Sandwich Islands region

The earthquake is probably related to the Moon Earth, Jupiter lunar geometry that occurred on April 30. In the next hours will occur the planetary geometry Earth, Venus, Neptune. Will another significant event occur? The energy of the M7.4 earthquake will cross the Nazca and South American plate boundaries, as well as the Cocos and Caribbean plates. So, seismic activity could be expected in Chile, Ecuador, Peru, Central America and Mexico, in the worst case with some M6+ earthquake. However, energy could also be released into the South Atlantic, especially in the Sandwich Islands.
