Strong 6.6 magnitude earthquake strikes northeastern Russia



13 February, 2013

A strong 6.8 magnitude earthquake shook Thursday the remote and largelyuninhabited Sakha region in Russia's Far East, ITAR-TASS quoted the local emergency ministry service as saying. 
There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries from the quake, whose epicentre was recorded 300 kilometres (185 miles) north of the village of Ust-Nera
The quake struck 10 kilometres (six miles) below ground at 5:13 Moscow time, the Sakha 




Magnitude 5.2 quake hits western Nevada, no injuries reported


A magnitude 5.2 earthquake struck western Nevada on Tuesday, close to the California border, the U.S. Geological Survey said, and there was no immediate word of any injuries or significant damage.

The Geological Survey said the earthquake had a shallow depth of 4.4 miles and was centered 16 miles south of Tonopah Junction, Nevada, between Reno and Las Vegas.

An Esmeralda County Sheriff's office dispatcher said she was not aware of any injuries or damage from the quake.

"We had minimal shakes but nothing damaging," said the dispatcher, who did not wish to be identified.




Paluweh volcano (Flores, Indonesia): situation on the island remains critical



A report published by the Indonesian Volcanological Survey (VSI) indicates that the intense eruptive phase on 3 Feb caused the collapse of about 1/4 of the volume of the dome, a little more one million cubic meters.

VSI points out that the main hazard zones for pyroclastic flows, if the dome continues to grow, include now also the valleys to the west and south-east, in addition to the open valley to the south (that already was invaded by pyroclastic flows, visible on the recent NASA space image).

The situation on the island remains critical. Many villages are now directly in this danger area (Nitunglea, Rokirole, Tuanggeo, Ona, Wolondopo).

Significant ash fall may also occur, with the usual consequences (pollution of drinking water supplies, eye, epidermal, respiratory problems etc.)




Earthquakes in the world on February 14, 2013 (M4.5 or more) – Very strong earthquake in Russia


Very strong earthquake in eastern Russia

A very strong M 6.9 earthquake hit Russia (Sakha Republic autonomous region). The epicenter is located in the northeastern part of Siberia, north of Kamchatka peninsula. This earthquake has a depth of approx. 20 km. This makes us expecting a strong to very strong  shaking close to the epicenter. Luckily this area is only sparsely populated.
