Two dead after 6.4 magnitude California quake leaves 70,000 without power | California | The Guardian

Eleven people were reportedly injured and assessment of total number is ongoing, said officials

amp.theguardian.com

So a little one in Northern California. I know it’s easy to join the dots but the big cascades one is overdue. Overdue obviously means little but yeh. We have kinda been told that the san Andreas one is the one everyone fears but the cascades subduction zone is where you will get massive movement and tsunamis

There's a 1 in 6 chance of a magnitude 7 volcanic eruption this century (one down from a supervolcano). It'll be sods law it'll happen during 2023.

Are We Ready for the Next Massive Volcano?

It’s time to get prepared, argues a professor of volcanology.

Severe weather hampers earthquake rescuers in Turkey and Syria

Snow, rain and freezing conditions impede search and rescue operations as the quake death toll passed 3,000.

Apparently the initial 7.8 quake which was bad enough was followed by another one measuring 6 - complete devastation

Seen prediction of a final toll pushing ten thousand Christ.

 

[StoneRoad]

Two earthquakes [first was 7.8 and second of 7.5 magnitudes] a few hours and about 80 miles apart ...
Plus there will be aftershocks, so I'm expecting the toll to be high, very much more than 10,000.



Image swiped off the BBC live page just now.

My hope is that the Disasters Emergency Committee will announce an appeal pdq !

WHO is now saying it could be 20k

Not entirely surprising - having two quakes of that sort of magnitude more or less back to back is very unlucky.

IIRC some of the aftershocks already reported have been quite substantial, and no doubt there will be more, sadly.

Hopefully not in the next 48 hours - the time window for most of the successful casualty retrieval. There are many rescue teams already on their way / recently arrived, some including specialist search dogs.

Too far east for me. We had a 4.4 a few years ago. Felt that.

 

[teqniq]

I didn't feel it in Cardiff but some people did.

 

[StoneRoad]

No, I didn't [too far away]
But I was present on the Lleyn Peninsula in 1984, and was woken by one of the larger aftershocks, also felt another one that was mid-afternoon a few days later.
Definitely a weird sensation.

Currently living close enough to Spadeadam / DNV to feel / hear some of the shenanigans going bang there.
Including the test done to see if Guido had enough gunpowder to blow up the houses of parliament, that well rattled our windows !

No i didn't notice anything in cov. Was in my local paper. Some people in birmingham and stratford claimed to feel it. I did feel one about 10 or 15 years ago here.

As for 07:04 there is a threat to life from potential tsunami with heavy waves reported in Tonga.

Scientists have tried to calculate the power of the event.

Tonga volcano explosion equalled most powerful ever US nuclear test

Scientists calculate 2022 eruption of Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai volcano released 1,000 times more energy than Hiroshima bomb

www.theguardian.com

Scientists have used eye and earwitnesses accounts, along with data from tide gauges, satellites, evidence of broken windows and other sources, to calculate that the eruption of the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai volcano, which occurred on 15 January 2022 and was felt around the world, likely involved five blasts. The last of them released energy equivalent to about 15 megatonnes of TNT.


That is around 1,000 times more powerful than the bomb that was dropped on Hiroshima in 1945, and puts the volcanic event on a par with the most powerful nuclear device ever detonated by the US: the Castle Bravo bomb detonated at Bikini Atoll in 1954.

Tonga volcano eruption disrupted satellites halfway around the world

A link between volcanic activity and rising bubbles of low pressure in the ionosphere has now been proven, which may be why the colossal Tonga volcano eruption in 2022 disrupted satellite communications

The Tongan earthquake last year, was so big it disrupted satellites and GPS.
