Earthquake
activity in Pacific rim
-->
The earthquake happened 16km from Verkhnebakanskiy. The nearest populated places are: Rayevskaya (16km), Gaykadzory (18km), Rassvet (15km), Bol’shevik (15km), Amanat (19km), Anapskaya (17km), Natukhayevskaya (8km), Sergeyevskiy (12km), Kamatyr’ (12km), Grecheskoye (18km), Ol’khovka (19km), Mnogopol’nyy (12km), Damanskiy (16km), Khutora Vozdvizhenskiye (17km), Kutok (8km), Krasnyy Pakhar’ (8km), Gladkovskaya (12km), Shumayka (4km), Akkermanka (10km), Novomikhaylovskiy (18km), Gostagayevskaya (8km), Shkol’nyy (8km), Sirotskiy (13km), Pavlovskiy (19km), Chekon (15km), Novogeorgiyevskiy (18km), Yurovka (20km), Varenikovskaya (17km), Varenikovskaja (17km). The closest civilian airport is Anapa / Olkhovka (19km).Update 18:31 UTC : The power went off at Novorossiysk which adds to the frightening experience (the earthquake happened in the Russian evening hours)
We got dizzy here from the many earthquakes at the same time – no relation certainly but first a moderately dangerous one in Chile followed by a massive quake in Indonesia and a short time thereafter quakes in Peru and Russia (see list).
Based on an increasing number of visitors joining us from the greater earthquake area, we believe that an earthquake was felt. When you are one of the people who experienced this earthquake, please fill in the form behind “I Felt A (not Listed) Earthquake”. Thank you.
Why harmless : because the hypocenter is at +150 km in the hot solid mantle of the earth.
This generates shaking in a huge area (probably the reason that so many Australians are online at the moment).
Normally NO danger for a tsunami though (too deep).
Update 17:14 UTC : The expected shaking will be light to very weak in a radius of +1000 km. Most people will sleep though it we think and hope.
208km (129mi) NW of Saumlaki, Indonesia
343km (213mi) WSW of Tual, Indonesia
386km (240mi) SSE of Ambon, Indonesia
393km (244mi) SSE of Amahai, Indonesia
511km (318mi) ENE of Dili, East Timor
Update 17:19 UTC : The quake struck in an area were 2 major fault lines meet in the middle of the ocean.

The international agencies are reporting a depth from 23 to 29 km.
Onemi Chile has however published a strong shaking in and near Toltén (MMI VI), surprising if we look at the Magnitude and depth. The main reason for these high intensities is probably the soil composition (soft soil).

Epicenter
close to Anapa. The epicenter was under land and shallow ! As this
area of the world has no frequent earthquakes people seems to have
been really frightened with the shaking.

Moderate
shallow earthquake in Central Chile
(As of now - unreported)
Epicenter very close to Penehue.

Universidad
de Chile Santiago reports a Magnitude of Ml4.7 at a depth of 45 km.
Onemi Chile has however published a strong shaking in and near Toltén (MMI VI), surprising if we look at the Magnitude and depth. The main reason for these high intensities is probably the soil composition (soft soil).
