OH THAT IS NOT GOOD !!

Tis only G2 on the scale so doesn't seem bad, but I imagine if the solar storm/earthquake relation theory is correct then we might be in for a big quake very soon.

In fact some guy predicted there would be a big one in Alaska, there was a thread about it, I wonder if this is the solar storm he was on about which would cause the quake

Yep, I remember that thread - and there's some activity at Mt Redoubt, too, according to another.

Here they are:

I've not really looked into the solar connection but it keeps cropping up so worth an investigation

Some hint how earthquakes at a depth like that one in spain may occour.

Not far from the Greenland Sea 5.3 quake a week ago.

Great to get some info in from other locations

I think it would be really exciting if we could get people from all over the globe contributing regularly and we can get first-hand reports on events. We've already got folks in Oz, New Zealand, UK, California, Alaska - where else?

I'm from Germany, so this is not my area, but I watch emsc, because thats closer to home.

That quake of Easter Island seems to be on the same ridge of the ocean floor like this:
Magnitude mb 5.1
Region SOUTHEAST OF EASTER ISLAND

Date time 2010-04-10 at 05:06:47.8 UTC
Location 36.05 S ; 100.99 W

2424 km W Ancud (pop 28,020 ; local time 01:06 2010-04-10)

That was some days ago. if you follow that ridge to the shore you arrive at Santiago de Chile... so most likely close connected to that quake.

Tja that region has still not settled down.

And potentially the Easter Island events, too - on same fault.
