Two 7.0 quakes in the Solomon Islands. USGS had reported 7.3 but has downgraded it to 7.0 Tsunami warnings have been called off. The first quake hit just off the south-west coast at 1pm local time, the US Geological Survey said, triggering a tsunami warning. The second quake, with a magnitude of 6.0, was recorded nearby 30 minutes later. The Solomon Islands Meteorological Service later said there was no tsunami threat, but warned about unusual sea currents on the coast. |

While on the other side of the Pacific Pond. Southern California feels effect of 6.2-magnitude earthquake that struck off Mexican coast. |

While on the other side of the Pacific Pond. Nothing up here in Northern California. We have a fire on one of the islands, but no shaking. |

It's Hawaii's turn again. World's biggest active volcano Mauna Loa erupts. Mauna Loa, the world’s largest active volcano, has erupted for the first time in 38 years. |

Very interesting. Where Mauna Loa’s lava is coming from – and why Hawaii’s volcanoes are different from most. Cheers. |

Back to the north of us down under. Indonesia raises volcano warning to highest level after Mount Semeru erupts. |

It's a double bunger now. Why people in Hawaii are abuzz over 2 simultaneous volcanic eruptions. The goddess of fire is alive and well on Hawaii's Big Island, where two of the most famous volcanoes in the world are erupting at the same time. |

Scientists lower alert for Mauna Loa, say eruption could end, but that's based on past eruptive behavior and we all know that Mother Nature can throw curve balls. Cheers. |

30min ago a magnitude 7.7 occurred in the Banda Sea, Indonesia. Felt it here in Darwin around 620km away. Lasted for at least a couple of minutes, and it was pretty damn strong for 10-15 seconds. Hate to think of the damage that's going to result for those much closer to the epicenter. :-( Grant Darwin NT |

More on that. Major 7.6 magnitude earthquake hits Indonesia with northern Australia affected. Cheers. |

I found the 7.1 Ridgecrest quake to be quite enough and my 2006 foundation system was tested in 2019, I can't say how much more it is rated for, but 7.1 is quite a bit, but it's not a 7.7 at least and I thought it was not going to end quickly... If it hadn't places near me might have been shaken to the ground, my place is bolted to concrete and into the soil and to my home, I suffered no damage. Previous quakes here in the Barstow CA area since 2006 were around 5.0 or below. Savoir-Faire is everywhere! The T1 Trust, T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, America's First HST |

To the north of here. Magnitude-5.1 earthquake hits Indonesia, killing at least 4 people in seaside restaurant collapse. A shallow earthquake has shook Indonesia's easternmost province of Papua, killing four people who were unable to escape when a floating restaurant collapsed into the sea. |

As if getting drowned wasn't enough. A magnitude 6.1 earthquake has shaken thousands across New Zealand, jolting both islands in the wake of ex-Tropical Cyclone Gabrielle. |

Not only did Tonga's massive volcanic eruption lat year set records it also wiped out unique, never-before-seen life-forms and a new study (under peer review ATM) tells how it may affect Australia's weather for up to eight years. You have to take the bad with the good I suppose. Cheers. |

And if they didn't have enough on their plate already. :-( Vanuatu braces for second major cyclone in two days, as northern province hit by earthquake. Vanuatu's capital is bracing for its second major tropical cyclone in two days, after one part of the country was hit with a magnitude-6.5 earthquake on Friday morning.Stay safe and dry over there. |

Indonesia’s Merapi volcano spews hot clouds in new eruption. Indonesia’s Mount Merapi erupted Saturday with avalanches of searing gas clouds and lava, forcing authorities to halt tourism and mining activities on the slopes of the country’s most active volcano. |
