November 16, 2012 – KURIL ISLANDS - 

A powerful earthquake that struck the Kuril Islands in the northwestern Pacific this morning did not generate a Pacific-wide tsunami, the US Geological Survey said.

The 6.4-magnitude tremor occurred at 8:12 a.m. Hawaii time at a depth of 18 miles. Its epicenter was in an 810-mile volcanic archipelago located between Japan and Russia which separates the Sea of Okhotsk from the North Pacific Ocean.

The USGS describes the area as among the most seismically active in the world. The islands mark the location of the Kuril-Kamchatka tectonic arc, a subduction zone interface between the overriding North America plate and the Pacific plate.

The area has been the site of frequent earthquakes including seven since 1900 of 8.3 magnitude or greater. This is the eighth 6.0+ magnitude earthquake to rattle the planet in the last 8 days.

November 17, 2012 – TONGA 

- A powerful 6.1 magnitude earthquake struck along the Pacific plate boundary, near the Tonga trench.

The earthquake struck at a depth of 9.8 km (6.1 miles). The epicenter of the earthquake was 174 km (108 miles) ENE of Neiafu, Tonga. No tsunami warnings were issued for the region.

Today’s 6.1 earthquake is the ninth major earthquake to strike the planet in the last 9 days.

The current string of seismic activity began on November 8, with successive earthquakes striking Vancouver Islands, Myanmar, Guatemala, the Gulf of Alaska, Aisen and Coquimbo Chile, Mexico, the Kuril Islands and lastly, the Tonga Region.

Strange earthquake phenomenon recorded

Something greater than a 9.0M earthquake west of Africa.. just popped on Earthquake3D and popped off as soon as I made a video!!!! NEEDS CONFIRMATION NOW!!!!!!!!!!

UPDATE

GOOD NEWS! The 9.0M+ earthquake which showed up on the USGS feed ---- most likely some kind of anomaly or error in the feed ... there is the possibility it could have really happened -- at a large depth not producing any tsunami.

NO waves detected.. NO charts showing any movement (aside from the other regular EQ activity)... NO reports from locals.. NO msm reports...

All that being said.. something caused a 9.0 and a 5.0M to show on the feed.. then it was revised to a GREATER than 10.0M.. then disappeared off the feed.

Too strange.

Oklahoma had a 5.6M today --- which was wiped off the map (linked below here on facebook w/ screenshots and the data from IRIS).

Something going on? Lets hope not.
