Reported M5.6 earthquake north of Brisbane, Australia. An M5+ earthquake in south-east Queensland is highly unusual.

Geoscience Australia said the epicentre was about 80 kilometres west of Noosa and 250 kilometres north of Brisbane.

People have also reported feeling tremors and as far north as Rockhampton and as far south as the Glen Innes in New South Wales.

The quake occurred at a depth of 10km at 9:49am.

More than 11,500 people have submitted "felt reports" to Geosciences Australia.

Danny Donald from Energex said crews were investigating outages near the earthquake's epicentre.

"In total, we've got around about 11,000 customers affected between the Fraser Coast, Burrum Heads, and Murgon," he said.

"Hopefully, if there's nothing broken … we should be able to get things back up and running relatively quickly."

Queensland Rail said the north coast lines ending in Cairns will be suspended until further notice to ensure track safety.

Services on all Brisbane city lines were running at lower speeds due to the tremor, and trains were delayed by up to 15 minutes.

There is no tsunami risk.

Based on the date and time of the videos, it appears to be the same event, however, Laboratory of X-Ray Astronomy of the Sun states the following: (so I do not think is related directly with the Drake Passage earthquake if is what you are implying)

A third powerful explosion in a row has just been registered on the Sun, again missing the planet. Apparently, someone hung a protective charm in space between the Earth and the Sun.

PS. The source of the explosion is on the far side of the Sun and is not visible from Earth. What is happening there now can only be guessed.

if is what you are implying

Yes, @Ca. Without any comment from you as to why you posted that video of the sun, it's hard to know why you posted it in the "Earthquake" thread. Commentary would be most appreciated.

According to Volcanodiscovery

The earthquake was the strongest to hit this part of Azerbaijan region in over 59 years. Earlier, the last quake of equal or greater strength near the present epicenter had been a magnitude 6.0 earthquake on Wednesday, Apr 20, 1966

Hundreds feared dead in Afghanistan earthquake as rescuers face difficulties reaching affected regions.

We’ve just heard from the public health ministry, which has said they don’t have clear casualty figures as the affected area has limited mobile phone signal coverage.

According to preliminary information, 330 people have been injured in the provinces of Laghman and Nangarhar. Eighty were injured in Laghman and 250 in Nangarhar, the ministry said.

The figures for Kunar province are even higher and the area has been severely affected, the ministry said.

The BBC learned earlier that 20 people died and 35 were wounded in a village in Kunar province.

Yes, @Ca. Without any comment from you as to why you posted that video of the sun, it's hard to know why you posted it in the "Earthquake" thread. Commentary would be most appreciated.

From what I can see on the interwebs, a guy named Stephan Burns thinks there might be a link between solar activity and earthquakes. Perhaps all types of geophysical activity? Maybe this is what was being implied?

Mr Burns also mentions 'planetary geometry' in some of his youtubes. People might be more familiar with this idea as astrology. He also did a 'group meditation' using sound fairly close to the C's session recommending group meditations (can't remember which session that was, but it was recent). I thought at the time it was quite an odd coincidence.

So maybe this is the reason... or maybe not?

Mr Burns also mentions 'planetary geometry' in some of his youtubes. People might be more familiar with this idea as astrology.

The theory of planetary geometries as causes of earthquakes has more to do with the theory of the electric universe than with astrology.

SSGEOS suggests, for example, that the triggering factor for earthquakes is electromagnetic not gravitational. Planets and the Moon generate electromagnetic waves, when these waves are amplified by critical geometries, they can influence the atmosphere (Identified as atmospheric fluctuations or anomalies in this theory) or even the Earth's crust. In areas with high tectonic stress, this additional energy could induce landslides on active faults.

The Cs also confirmed this relationship between atmospheric fluctuations as precursors to earthquakes.​

Q: (MK Scarlett) Can so-called "orographic" clouds, such as lenticular ones, in some cases, be precursors of earthquakes?

A: Yes

Q: (MK Scarlett) What is the average period (in days) between the atmospheric fluctuation that forms these cloud anomalies and a potential earthquake?

A: 3 to 7.

Q: (Joe) Some of those clouds were seen in Turkey - strange clouds. They were kinda like domes with a hole in the middle, almost like a hat.

A strong relationship has been identified between certain geometries and temporary clusters of stronger earthquakes (M ≥ 5.5), usually within a short period of 24 to 30 hours, a phenomenon called seismic cluster. Configurations involving Mercury, Venus, and the Moon (and sometimes Earth and outer planets) are particularly relevant. These configurations tend to correlate with larger magnitude earthquakes and significant seismic clusters.

Unfortunately, Frank Hoogerbeets has retired from his studies at SSGEOS. Another person who follows the planetary geometries theory is Richard Cordaro who uses magnetometers available around the world to detect electromagnetic impacts.
