More than 200 earthquakes follow M5.1 quake near Mina, Nevada



A very shallow M5.1 earthquake rattled Nevada on Dec. 1st, 11:32:56 p.m. UTC. The main tremor was directly followed by a swarm counting now more than 220 quakes and still increasing.

The quake hit at 3:32 p.m. local time at a depth of 3.1 miles (5km) about 15.5 miles south of Mina, Nevada.Weak shaking might have been felt in Benton (pop. 280; 33 miles away), Hawthorne (pop. 3,300; 39 miles away), Goldfield (pop. 270; 55 miles away), West Bishop (pop. 2,600, 60 miles away), Mammoth Lakes (pop. 7,900; 62 miles away), and June Lake (pop. 630; 62 miles away).

A swarm of aftershocks followed the quake, including two M4.3 (3:43 p.m. and 3:47 p.m.) and two M4.4 quakes (6:23 p.m. and 8:48 p.m.).



More than 40 volcanoes are erupting right now with 5 major explosions in the last 3 days

Strange Sounds


The volcanic activity is elevated these days, with 43 volcanoes currently erupting. Some are also preparing to explode.

If that sounds ‘normal’ for some of you, there have been at least 5 major explosions in the last 3 days… And that’s a pretty high number, i would say.

Now, discover below these latest volcanic eruptions in pictures and videos:

Sakurajima volcano, Japan – Dec. 2nd

An explosion was registered at 11:55 a.m. JST with ballistic fragments being ejected and pounding the slopes.

A large plume of ash was sent 7,000 ft (2,133 m) in the air and drifted E and small pumice and ash flows were created.

Beginning of last month, a giant fireball was seen disintegrating over this same volcanic peak.
