Uptick in Earthquakes And Volcanic Eruptions – A Serious Uptick

A picture of a temperature thermometer that says problem, emergency, crisis, disaster.

Large earthquakes, tsunami warnings, and volcanic eruptions are rocking with the Earth today.

This week has started out quite active, to say the least. My Disaster Alert App has been going off all day – and signaling BIG movement – all over the planet.

We need to pay attention to this activity.

Large Quakes 6-23-14

Like I said, my app is going off as I write this article, so I expect more quakes to occur after I push “publish.”

Today’s quakes over 4.5 magnitude in order of occurrence (keep in mind many of these have been downgraded):

  1. Northern Mid-Atlantic Ridge  4.5
  2. Papua New Guinea  5.4
  3. Northern Mid-Atlantic Ridge  4.8
  4. Indonesia, Abepura  5.1

Huge Quakes Strike From Mexico To New Guinea Today

Large earthquakes are occurring all over the Pacific Rim today.

The Earth is lighting up! Today, large quakes – very large quakes – rattled Mexico to New Guinea:

  1. 6.2  Balleny Island region
  2. 5.2  Balleny Island region
  3. 5.2  Sabtang, Philippines
  4. 5.6  Noatak, Alaska
  5. 5.6  Noatak, Alaska (#2)
  6. 6.6  Kirakira, Solomon Islands
  7. 7.5  Petatlan, Mexico
  8. 5.5  Balleny Island region
  9. 7.0  Papua New Guinea

No tsunami warning was issued, but local flooding and rising waves are to be expected within 100 km of the epicenters of these quakes.

 

More Quakes Shake South Pole

A 6.2 magnitude earthquake in the Balleny Island region north of Antarctica was followed 10 minutes later by a 5.2 magnitude quakeMinutes after that, a 5.5 magnitude earthquake struck on the Pacific-Antarctic Ridge.

This might not appear to be any big deal, except to the penguins, but when one pole shifts, the other pole follows. So, heads up, Northern Polar Regions – that’s Russia, Alaska, Canada, and Greenland/Iceland. Possibly Japan and the Philippines.
