A Resurge In Big Earthquakes Today

Pakistan is having a swarm of large earthquakes north of the Persian Gulf – USGS.

I woke up this morning to my PDC Disasters Alert app going off non-stop. It’s been rather quiet for a few days, and this was  a calm before the storm, it appears.

Today, there has been a resurge in some big quakes.
