Several earthquakes have rocked a remote chain of Alaska islands in the Pacific Ocean this month.

The quake took place two days after other strong tremors of magnitude 6.2 hit the Andreanof Islands and the Aleutian Islands. Prior to that, in early August, a magnitude 6.4 earthquake struck near the native Alaskan village of Kaktovik and part of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, the place where the administration of US President Trump mulls to allow oil drilling.

A series of powerful earthquakes has struck the South American east coast, with Panama, Chile and Ecuador all suffering jolts of between 5.6 and 6.2 magnitude within less than an hour of each other.

Panama was hit by a 5.6-magnitude earthquake at 1:47am GMT. According to the US Geological Survey, its epicenter was located at a depths of 10km, some 15km from the small town of Yaviza.

Less than 30 minutes later, at 2:12am GMT, a powerful 6.2-magnitude jolt hit central Ecuador, some 94km (58 miles) south of the city of Ambato at a depth of 112km (69 miles).

So far, at least one person has been injured, Ecuador’s authorities said, noting some damage to homes and reported landslides on roads. Power outages are also being reported. The jolts were felt as far away as the capital, Quito, and the city of Guayaquil. According to the Ministry of Risk Management, the jolts were felt the strongest in Cumanda, Chimborazo province.

According to the Oceanographic Institute, the characteristics of the earthquake did not meet the necessary conditions to generate a tsunami. The country's president, Lenin Moreno, expressed solidarity with the people in affected regions, noting that regional emergency crews had been activated.

At around 2:39am GMT, a third 5.8-magnitude quake rocked the central part of Chile, with its epicenter located near the border with Argentina, some 86km east of the city of Vallenar.
 
9/10/2018 -- 29 different 6.0+ earthquakes in the past 30 days - Phenomenal + Unprecedented Activity

In the video above, two recent 6+ earthquakes from September 9th, 2018 are covered:

M 6.5 - 65km NW of Kirakira, Solomon Islands

M 6.9 - 61km SW of L'Esperance Rock, New Zealand

Curious what others thoughts are on Dutchsinse's earthquake forecasting and how accurate it might be? I've been following his videos more often lately as I live on the West Coast.
 
I think the ones in the North of Alaska are interesting... today all at 0.0 depth?? Reminds me of Hawaii.
Oops... one of today's had a 0.1 km reading! My bad.
