No reports of damage yet https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-51287493


Surprising for this magnitude, even though it was a sideslip on the fault

Just wondering what part of the island has this affected - quite a nasty jolt and capable of causing quite a bit of damage and maybe some deaths as well ?

Can't see where else to slip this in, but it is interesting in a seismic kind of way...

So far not heard it caused significant if any damage, but we find out later.

There has just been a magnitude 5.6 (IMO reported magnitude) quake in SW Iceland (about 25km S of Reykjavik). It is in an area that has been quite active this year and has several interlinked volcanic systems. At present I don’t know if it is tectonic or magmatic.


USGS have revised it to magnitude 5.5.


No current sign of any eruption.

Could be bad




A powerful earthquake has struck off Turkey's Aegean coast, north of the Greek island of Samos, officials said.






The 7.0 magnitude tremor, about 17km (11 miles) off the coast of western Izmir province, was felt as far away as Athens and Istanbul, the US Geological Survey (USGS) said.






There was no word on casualties but images from the Turkish city of Izmir showed buildings that had collapsed.

I stayed in a great hotel near Ozdere 9 years ago, which is south of Izmir and overlooking the bay where the epicentre was. I suspect it could have serious damage.


It's also very close to Ephesus, hope that's not badly affected.

Sky say ‘Mini’ Tsunami.

I hate that term. They didn’t look mini to me Sky need to understand the energy that’s needed to generate this and the mechanics involved

A 'quake could be a serious matter for them and there are low lying settlements near low beaches that would be vulnerable to a tsunami-like sea surge.

Not an earthquake but rather curious slow-mo peat slide.

To follow on from Fours landslip another slide has occurred in Norway more serious than an earlier one (also posted I think by Four?)

I notice there has just been a magnitude 7.3 (USGS) quake to the NE of New Zealand. Hopefully nothing too serious will come of it but there may be some form of tsunami threat (to the North Island especially).

That quake was later revised down to 6.9 I think (possibly?). However slightly further north (away from NZ) there have been two more large quakes, magnitude 7.4 and then more recently a notable magnitude 8 quake.


Edit: the most recent quake has now been revised to 8.1.


To get two magnitude 7ish quakes followed by a magnitude 8 all in a similar regions is quite noteworthy IMO.

I wonder if the 8.0 is the big one of whether there is more to come. The whole fault seems to want to give.

There remains an element of uncertainty as to what could happen. Yes the most likely type of eruption will be fluid effusive lava flows rather than explosive, but a powerful eruption can't be ruled out as they have happened in that region in the past. Also effusive lava flows in Iceland have a track record of being on the significant side.
