Just hours ago, dozens of large earthquakes started pounding Japan.
The most significant was a magnitude 6.8 earthquake…
At least 25 earthquakes have struck off the coast of Japan in the last 24 hours, with some reaching strengths over 6.0 in magnitude.
The largest in the series was recorded as a 6.8 magnitude and prompted a tsunami warning that lasted several hours before being canceled, according to the United States Geological Survey (USGS).But that is just part of the story.
These bigger earthquakes were part of a giant earthquake swarm that included hundreds and hundreds of smaller earthquakes.
Volcano Discovery is reporting that Japan has been hit by a total of 847 earthquakes just within the past 24 hours…
- 2 quakes above magnitude 6
- 13 quakes between magnitude 5 and 6
- 40 quakes between magnitude 4 and 5
- 108 quakes between magnitude 3 and 4
- 253 quakes between magnitude 2 and 3
- 431 quakes below magnitude 2 that people normally don’t feel.
That is not normal.
Not even close When there are lots and lots of small earthquakes, it makes it much more likely that a really big earthquake will strike.In fact, geophysicist Stefan Burns is warning that the odds of Japan being hit by a magnitude 8 earthquake or greater just went way up…
The government of Japan recently put out an AI video which simulated what a major eruption of Mt. Fuji might look like… On the other side of the Pacific Ring of Fire, an earthquake swarm suddenly began shaking northern California on Sunday morning…
An earthquake swarm hit the San Francisco Bay Area on Sunday morning.
The cluster of up to eight quakes, ranging from 2.5 to 3.8 on the Richter scale, first occurred from 9:38am to 9:41am around southeast of San Ramon.
