The day earlier the eastern Japanese Ibaraki prefecture was hit by a 5.0-magnitude earthquake.

Japan is located in a seismically active zone known as the Ring of Fire and regularly suffers from powerful earthquakes. The 2011 9.0-magnitude earthquake and the following tsunami killed over 15,000 people and caused the Fukushima nuclear plant disaster.

Small quakes can be interesting, when correlated. Last week we had this:

ML3.1 2018-11-21 21:28:51.2 UTC 43.04 N ; 0.35 W Depth 22 km 29 km S of Pau, France (3.4 2.5 3.2 4.0)

ML3.1 2018-11-21 21:26:45.9 UTC 43.22 N ; 0.47 W Depth 8 km 12 km SW of Pau, France (3.9 3.2 2.4 3.2)

And, now, a new one:

2018-11-29 09:09:34.8 43.11 N 0.20 W Depth 2 km ML 2.9 PYRENEES 25 km SE of Pau, France. (4x 2,8, 3,1)

Interesting, the 2nd one is deeper. The 1st and 3rd hit just N of the mountains, the 2nd, under the mountain.

This is all just W of Lourdes. Maybe, the holy water source is overextended?
Or, should the quakes be seen in relevance with the other ones in Europe, the 3s in Gibraltar and Geneva, which
disappeared from the map overnight, or the <3s just before in Bay of Biscay and just after in Jaen?

The EMSC meanwhile changed the data a bit, not so shure they are benevolent or obfuscating:

2018-11-29 09:09:34.8 43.11 N 0.20 W 2 2.9 PYRENEES

2018-11-21 21:28:50.1 42.97 N 0.34 W 10 3.1 PYRENEES

2018-11-21 21:26:46.8 42.96 N 0.31 W 10 3.1 PYRENEES

A 3.8 magnitude earthquake ocurred 32 kilometers south of Buenos Aires at 13:27:38 UTC. It's important to mention that we aren't used to have earthquakes in this area. Though I live near the affected areas (La Plata, Quilmes, Berazategui, Florencio Varela, etc) I haven't felt it even living a few minutes away from La Plata. But many people I know from those places felt it, and in fact I first heard about the earthquake from them. The funny thing about all this is that it happens on the same day that the G20 summit begins, and is taking place a little more than 32 km away from the affected areas.

Minor earthquake - Buenos Aires, Argentina - November 30, 2018

And this one is written in Spanish: Se produjo un sismo de 3.8º a 32 kilómetros al sur de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires

ready.govWays to prepare and stay safe now

  • During
    Stay away from the beach.
    Tsunamis can travel hundreds of miles per hour, so you can’t escape if you’re close enough to see one.
    If you’re on the beach and the tide suddenly goes out, head inland immediately.
    A tsunami is coming and you may only have minutes to escape.
    If instructed to evacuate, leave immediately with your family and pets.
    Even a short delay to pack possessions could put you in danger.
    Move to higher ground.
    Find a place that’s at least 100 ft (30 m) above sea level or 2 mi (3 km) inland.
    Help children, seniors, and people with disabilities reach safety.
    They may not be able to do so on their own.

Information Statement
A tsunami warning is issued when a potential tsunami with significant widespread inundation is imminent or expected. Warnings alert the public that widespread, dangerous coastal flooding accompanied by powerful currents is possible and may continue for several hours after arrival of the initial wave. Warnings also alert emergency management officials to take action for the entire tsunami hazard zone. Appropriate actions to be taken by local officials may include the evacuation of low-lying coastal areas, and the repositioning of ships to deep waters when there is time to safely do so. Warnings may be updated, adjusted geographically, downgraded, or canceled. To provide the earliest possible alert, initial warnings are normally based only on seismic information.
