Political EARTHQUAKE in HUNGARY! ⚡️ For the first time in 16 years, ORBAN may lose POWER: https://benborges.xyz/2026/01/15/political-earthquake-in-hungary-for.html

Wow! The area where I live is not known for a lot of seismic activity, but I was just woken up by a 2.2 earthquake. Such an eerie sound and feeling when it happens.

The clusters of earthquakes — the latest of which struck Monday — have all been underneath the East Bay suburb of San Ramon, which is close to the Calaveras fault.
There were at least 19 earthquakes of magnitude 2 or greater on Monday alone, with the largest, a magnitude 3.6, striking at 9:07 a.m.

A man named Earthquake.

Pretty big earthquake down in Colma. People there must be spinning in their graves. https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/nc75271341/executive

Honest question. What's it like being in an earthquake?
Also, how do cats usually react to them?

“Like putting on glasses for the first time”—how AI improves earthquake detection
AI is “comically good” at detecting small earthquakes—here’s why that matters.

If you're following a country hashtag in a seismically-active region like I do, you've probably seen earthquake toots like this. But I actually wonder how useful these are especially when the magnitude are in the…

and the locations of 💥today's (December 6) magnitude 7 earthquake and several aftershocks,
at the northern tip of the Fairweather Fault System.
While no tsunami warning was issued after this earthquake, it’s worth noting that the largest tsunami runup in the world,
the July 1958 Lituya Bay tsunami,
started with a M7.8 earthquake on the Fairweather Fault.

The #Yukon and #Alaska have just ended the old year with an #earthquake .

A powerful earthquake shook southern Mexico on Friday morning,
damaging roads and hospitals and briefly interrupting President Claudia Sheinbaum's first press conference of the new year.

Oh look... LNG doesn't make Earthquake disaster response easier either!
page 82:
“Energy”
The initial earthquake and ongoing aftershocks cause extensive damage to power plants, transmission lines and
substations, leading to prolonged power outages across the region. Damage is also likely to impact major fuel processing and storage locations and LNG refining sites, which are coastal based. These include two Indigenous-led LNG projects (Ksi Lisims and Cedar— Nisga’a and Haisla).”

It was the third strongest earthquake ever recorded,
after Chile 1960 and
Alaska 1964.
The hypocentre was located at about 30 km depth, on the Great Sumatran Fault
- a system of faults associated with the subduction of the Indian Plate under the Sunda Plate

“Full report” (700 pg PDF): “5.6 Cascadia Megathrust M9.0 Earthquake during wildfire season”
The scenario:
"On a morning in August, during wildfire season and a heatwave, megathrust (subduction interface) a magnitude
9.0 (M9.0) earthquake occurs offshore of Vancouver Island. Minutes of strong shaking are felt across the region—on Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland—and as far south as northern California.”
