Two strong earthquakes have occurred today.
A very strong magnitude 6.2 earthquake occurred in the North Pacific Ocean near the coast of Panama in the morning of Friday, Mar 21.
7.036°N 82.372°W. 10.0 km depth
Colombian Geological Service recorded this earthquake as M6.5 A Tsunami warning was issued which has now been deactivated. So far no aftershocks have been reported, but the energy is expected to move toward southeastern Mexico and northern Colombia as the first possibilities. On March 18 a M 4.8 hit 5 km east of El Salvador and a M3.4 12 km southeast of Tegucigalpa, Honduras. The release of energy then happened in Panama.
Almost two years ago, on April 4, 2023, an M6.3 earthquake struck near the epicenter of the M6.2 earthquake. This region can produce M7+ earthquakes.
Another strong earthquake in the North Pacific Ocean near the coast of Alaska.
51.178°N 176.147°W. 26.0 km depth

This is a region prone to very strong earthquakes that can exceed M8.5 A M8.6 earthquake occurred 68 years ago near the epicenter of M6.2 earthquake which has been the strongest in ten years.It is possible that the energy will move to the west coast of Canada and the United States.
Seismic clusters preceding these powerful earthquakes occurred between March 18 and 19.
