Our Moving Earth

Ok - 3 weeks in a row! Wow - this must be a record. Usually when I think I'll do something like this regularly, I forget to post. But here we go:

Total number of quakes on the map today: 151 (includes 11 already today) Latest Earthquakes Magnitude 2.5 or Greater in the United States and Adjacent Areas and Magnitude 4.5 or Greater in the Rest of the World - Last 7 days

10/27 - 6.0 - 00:04:47 DRAKE PASSAGE (off the tip of South America)

10/29 - 6.2 - 17:44:32 HINDU KUSH REGION, AFGHANISTAN

10/30 - 6.8 - 07:03:40 RYUKYU ISLANDS, JAPAN

Arkansas - 2 (2.5 and 2.7)
Hawaii - 2 (2.7 and 2.8)
Colorado - 1 (2.8)
Tennessee - 1 (3.0 - several people reported feeling this one)
Alaska - lots
California - lots
Puerto Rico - lots
Virgin Islands - lots

I watch the earthquake page because I think it's interesting to see how the earth is moving and changing. I've been reading it now for several years - this is not a new thing for me. Deciding to keep track myself of the 6.0's and above, and the various places in the US - that's a new thing and only because I'm curious about it.
