Vanuatu is having strong earthquakes – USGS
Vanuatu had a 5.2 quake today, June 11, 2013, and I always watch this area of the Pacific Rim closely because when Vanuatu is active, the planet seems to respond with a chain of strong quakes.
Quakes June 09 & 10-2013
There were 27 earthquakes over 4.0 magnitude Monday – Tuesday June 09 & 10-2013. Except for a 4.2 quake in Greece and a 4.1 earthquake in the Caribbean, all of these quakes were in the Pacific Rim arena.
