A shallow moment magnitude 6.0-6.3 earthquake happened about 60 kilometers off shore, to the northwest of the city of Aguadilla, Puerto Rico. In my home city, we felt some intense shaking and there are instances of minimal damage to houses and a water main pipe leading out of the water treatment plant. This happened around 11:30pm AST/EDT, while at the same time we're waiting for potential tropical storm Karen.

Here's some news on the topic: https://watchers.news/2019/09/24/strong-and-shallow-m6-0-earthquake-hits-mona-passage-puerto-rico/

@Lucario Boricua

Oh, yeah -- that's just what you need......a strong earthquake in the middle of hurricane season.  

I'm just glad there doesn't appear to have been any serious injuries to the people.

I was once curious about living on an island -- but the last two years in Puerto Rico and The Bahamas has cured me of any desire to live on an island.  (Especially as I watch global warming melt the Arctic ice cap.)

[Lucario Boricua 7,027]

To be fair, continents are not necessarily safer, and in the case of islands, I'm more pessimistic about very flat islands (ex. Bahamas), but not about mountainous islands (like Puerto Rico) when it comes to sea level rise and associated effects. And in the case of Puerto Rico, much of the problem associated with hurricanes isn't the quality of infrastructure (in many cases it is but in many more it isn't), but rather the institutional inability (and even unwillingness) to respond to an extended emergency. As for earthquakes, I believe we live in a region in which they're common and strong enough to be dangerous, but rare enough to lull people into a false sense of safety.

[Dreadnought 8,226]

@Lucario Boricua

I currently live in a region of the US where earthquakes are VERY few and far between even though nearby Charleston rests upon an occasionally dangerous fault line.  But I grew up in California where they are a simple fact of life.  I do not find them terribly disturbing, as such, but on an island, there is comparatively less room to "run and hide" and it is so much more difficult to receive any form of assistance or evacuation.  It is so much easier to respond to an earthquake or hurricane when you can position relief assets in neighboring counties so that they can move in on highways and railroads once the storm moves on.  Before an island can receive help, the storm must move far enough away to allow air traffic and sea movement -- and there is always the possibility that ports and airfields have been damaged...etc, etc.

I am always watching Puerto Rico during the hurricane season because I feel deep concern for the citizens.  I have some admired and respected friends that are from the island and they still have extended family there.  Frankly, watching the current administration toss paper towels at the beleaguered population was the single most shameful thing I have ever seen.  And the continuing lament that Puerto Rico has received 92 billion dollars in relief money -- when only 14 billion has been sent -- is even more shameful.  The recovering inhabitants need help, support, and probably a "Marshall Plan" type of technical and financial support over the long term to rebuild and improve their infrastructure. 

The people of Puerto Rico are citizens of the US -- not enemies -- and should not be treated with contempt.

Sorry -- didn't mean to get up on my "soap box"......

Last man\city standing, Stockholm? Or one of the safer places i guess but when the dirt hits the fan i guess it all comes crumbling down considering the whole nature going haywire one way or another and no part of the world will be left uneffected for sure in one way or another.

It´s time for the worlds hypocrite politicians to put their actions where their mouths is and put some thumbscrews on the worst of the nature devastating companies, get down that average temperature global warming and not keep on giving promises and set up weak goals which  is never reached.

If one 180 turn in how they think doesn´t come now or real soon then we´ve all one grim future perhaps you and me even in this lifetime to look forward to.

And it´s shameful to see how Greta Thunberg gets flamed and ridiculed on the net by trolls, flamers and numbnuts who´s got no brain or grasp of the worlds current situation..at...all.

Edit: And numerology anyone? In a bigger perspective and not only happening here it´s rather strange though that i just "happened" to make my first answer on page 66 and it´s also my birth year.

I see the numbers come back and perhaps it´s just because i take notice of it. I focused on that now and tend to do it overall and don´t count in all of the other times when it doesnt fit. 

Or? 

Yaaaay, i got to put in that favorite emoji as well. Look at his nose and ears wiggle like crazy there. Cute.

Edit: Nah, it´s a HER.

Boys are friends and tough, females are cute and can be tough also and...

I was able to act like normal again.

Too much of me!

More shaking!! Since the days following Christmas, we've been getting an uptick of seismic activity in southwest Puerto Rico, so far reaching a peak of moment magnitude 6.5, happening 2:30 hours ago. Yesterday we got a 5.8 at dawn. These are very shallow quakes, and thus their effect was very localized.

Damages have occurred, consisting of some informally constructed housing collapsing or experiencing major cracking, a handful of historic masonry buildings, merchandise at stores, traffic signals, landslides and select power facilities. I myself am well, but have not gone to bed yet in case something more severe does happen.

Other seismic activity has also been registered in the neighboring Dominican Republic and the US Virgin Islands.

 

EDIT 1: More replicas, latest being a magnitude 6.0 happening off the southeastern municipality of Maunabo at 7:18am.  First death informed in the city of Ponce, elderly man dies from wall collapse of house.

[Dreadnought 8,226]

@Lucario Boricua

You have my sympathies.  I grew up in earthquake-prone California -- but never a 6.5 magnitude.  I sincerely hope you come through this period of geologic activity without harm.

It is interesting that there has been no mention of this increased seismic activity in a US Territory by the news media.

Apparently, they would rather listen to Mike Pompeo lie about Trump's latest monumental strategic blunder in the Middle East.

Even considering Joe McCarthy, Stalin, and Hitler -- put together -- this administration MUST hold the world record for lying and blundering.  Why is this more important that the safety of our own citizens ??

Please try to remain safe......

Ditto .... I live in New Zealand we tend to have a lot of earthquakes and the recommendation from the emergency people is to have a bag by the front door containing essentials .... I've got a bag it's not huge but it's got torch, batteries, candles, emergency tent and survival blankets, tablets for purifying water, etc.

Biggest earthquake I've experienced was 7.8 mag

[Prince Siegfried 7]

My biggest regret...not really...but of moving from LA is I was not there long enough to experience a small scale earthquake. I'm sure I'd have to go through a big one. I'm not scared of them really, though I've never been through one, than being in the ocean after watching Jaws. One woman said she like them.

If those people in Ukraina are brothers and sisters to the people of Russia and therefore belong to be united with Russia - why the hell they hate ukrainian people so much to shoot and kill them on the streets and destroy their cities?

Well first off I wouldn't say most Russians hate Ukrainians and for the most part that is also true vice versa aside from an extremely small but loud minority of people like the Azov Battalion and The Right Sector and they, along with the fascist government that was installed in 2014 by the United States committed countless atrocities in the Donbass when people resisted their rule and cut off the fresh water supply to Crimea when they were annexed by Russia. (If Crimea was really Ukrainian territory why would they commit a crime against humanity on its population.)

Also Russia unlike Ukraine in the Donbass aren't slaughtering the populations in city centers, they are using high precision weapons (also that building wasn't struck by a Russian missile but a Ukrainian SAM that had a tracking device fail) and that reason why Ukraine hasn't been taken over by the Russian Federation yet. They are being careful to cause as little damage as possible and not doing a NATO style carpet bombing.

 

Note to mods: Hope you don't mind me bringing up Neo-Nazi groups.

[Fantozzi 4,067]

Why didn't all those people flee before and now they do? Does this meen these are 1,5 Million Nazis looking for shelter in Poland? Will Putin attack Poland next, then Germany? Two days ago, when he was talking to Aeroflot stewardess, he said, Germany is also fascist. So does this mean he will clean Germany too? 

[Leo -- 186]

Well first off if I implied that most Ukrainians are Nazis I didn't mean it. Most are normal people, however the fascists are currently in power. But yes some members of the Azov Battalion did run into Poland.

Putin will not go any farther than Ukraine as those states are members of NATO (in violation of agreements that NATO made Soviet Union and later the Russian Federation) and any operation against them will will almost certainly trigger article 5.

[Fantozzi 4,067]

Today in total there were 2,2 million refugees counted in Poland, Germany, Austria etc. escaping from russian forces. Again - if the gouvernement is fascist and they aren't fascist but normal people why didn't they escape earlier? Why do they escape now as russian soldiers arrive to liberate them?

Do you know something we don't?, no one can say for certain that he'll stop in the Ukraine, in fact one could pretty much say he's already taken Belarus, albeit without hostilities.

Not every state to the East of Moscow is a part of NATO, in fact that's the worry, that this will turn into a situation similar to the run up to the last two world wars. I'm sorry, but to read your last two comments, it almost seems like you are an apologist for Putin? Come back here in five years and see how that's worked out for you.

Like Fantozzi and countless millions of others, I am legitimately deeply worried about the situation in Europe and how this will develop, there are no guarantees this will end in the Ukraine. Was the situation there a shining beacon of democracy, probably not. But just over two weeks ago, there were 40,000 more folks alive and 2.2 million more citizens than there are today. How you can possibly talk like there is an upside there, I am frankly puzzled? Even if there were some justification for the events of the past 14 days and I assure you there aren't, right now it's not the Ukrainian government slaughtering their citizens and destroying everything in sight. Nor were they the ones attacking a fucking nuclear power station!!! Seriously, let's double down on Chernobyl whilst we're at it, I mean look at how well they took care of that problem when it happened. I'm sure this time the Russians would stick around and sort it out, rather than deny it ever happened until their lies were so obvious, even they had to admit things were going 'a little badly!'

[Ocram's Razr 963]

If Russian forces cross the borders into any NATO country, Russia will cease to exist within a day afterwards. Many will die.

[11241036 5,096]

I haven't ever heard anything about Russia taking over Belarus. And I also don't believe Putin will take over the Ukraine. As far as I know, there's a considerable amount of Russian speaking people living in the Ukraine apparently wishing to be part of Russia (or at least being independent). And the government governing Ukraine before 2014 has been elected by the people of the Ukraine. This surely could only have been possible if enough Ukrainian people had voted this government. The current Ukrainian "government" is acting against the will of the people (especially when overthrowing the former government).

All of the actions of the Ukraine, the EU, and the USA are thus against the very democracy and freedom that the USA pretends to protect. Like many of the actions of the USA before, such as supporting dictators in Cuba, Vietnam, and the Philippines in the 20th century. Seriously, why can't the USA learn from its mistakes?

From his point of view (and mine also), Putin is trying to protect the rights of several (if not the majority of) people in the Ukraine. I do not like this war, either - but I've observed some articles in mass media mentioning some thoughts of the Ukraine joining the NATO. This crisis has been simmering since 2014, and if the NATO or the Ukraine are pulling it off this way, they basically leave Russia no other choice but to attack in order to rectify this situation. This is not an aggression, it is just an act of desperation. If Putin was a madman, he would probably start with taking over smaller countries, or countries such as Uzbekistan or Armenia, which are farther away from NATO states and will make a NATO/USA intervention much more difficult.

Since the day when Putin prevented the USA from attacking Syria after this incident when supposedly one of Assad's chemical weapons was blown up, while simultaneously making him dispose of his chemical weapons, I'm really impressed of Putin. Especially because for a short time, it looked like this horrible civil war in Syria could finally come to an end. And what happened shortly after that? Some mysterious IS wreaking havoc in the Middle East appearing out of thin air, and the government of Ukraine being overthrown. Doesn't look like a coincidence to me...

And I'm impressed of Russia, as well. Regardless of Putin. You can love Russia, but hate Putin. Being an artist, I can only tell that Russia has some awesome culture. Many of our musical teachers here in Austria have been educated in either Russia or other Eastern European states and brought their education with them. The USSR helped building up many Eastern European countries after they have been devastated by the Ottoman Empire and later Nazi Germany. Without Russia, the Ukraine properly wouldn't even exist anymore. And what did the USA do? Bombing down German cities in World War II! This surely didn't do anything to end World War II, as killing civilians never has any strategic value in war, and it surely also didn't help "bringing culture to Germany", as Churchill proclaimed.

Also, on another note: I do not trust Western mass media very much. For several reasons:

Since childhood, I've been told on several occasions by mass media and in school that in 1962, the former USSR has erected a base in Cuba to prepare to launch nuclear missiles to the USA. It wasn't until 2005 when my former history teacher in university told me that one year before this so-called "Cuba Crisis", the USA has done the same in Ankara, Turkey: positioning nuclear missiles there.

Many of the insane war crimes committed by the USA in Vietnam War have never been reported in TV and newspapers. The USA dropped highly poisonous chemicals over the rainforest in Vietnam to make them lose their leaves to expose the NLF soldiers there. The USA disguised some of their bases as hamlets in order to lure resistance fighters into a trap. American soldiers blindly slaughtered people there, raped women and did a lot of other nasty stuff there. And barely anybody ever reported that in mass media. Believe me, it took me a while to find that out.

After overthrowing Gaddafi in Libya and installing a new government, the last I ever heard of this matter was that the new government used the same torture methods than the old one. And all of a sudden, the Libya matter disappeared from media.

So, I'm rather poised to come to the conclusion that again, there is much more going on here than what meets the eye. I don't trust the EU and the USA by any meaning of the word.

And stop making side notes about Communism. As far as I know, Communism has never been intended to be sort of a counterpart to western "democracy". It has been developed to get rid of a corrupt, violent Tsarist regime and is based on ideas of equality and the equal sharing of power. You Americans fail to acknowledge this to this very day. The fact that it didn't work out well may be related to a paranoid madman like Stalin exploiting the situation to take over, and the economical collapse of the USSR may be a result of the destruction caused by Nazi Germany in World War II. Not necessarily by reasons inherent to Communism.

8. And, BTW, stop spamming around in the Show us what you're working on thread. Nothing in the world gives you the right to do that.

9. And someone remove this Ukrainian flag from the top of this site. This is just ridiculous.

1. Russia and Belarus are culturally similar and have a military alliance. Most of the invasion of Ukraine by Russian forces is conducted through Belarus, via soviet railways.

2. Kyiv is the capital of Ukraine and is majority Ukrainian. Russia is bombing it. Russian-speaking Ukrainians are among those fleeing to the EU. Russia is conscripting all able bodied men they can and taking women and children hostage to do so. Russia arrests all protestors (peaceful and otherwise) of the invasion. Putin is former KGB; he's not protecting any civilians. In fact, his forces bombed a children's hospital in Ukraine and killed at least 17.

3. This point might be true. I'm not going to dispute it.

4. You really don't sound Austrian in your blind support for Russia; however, the fact that you are able to type and have not been conscripted is proof enough for me. W/E. Russian Troll farms have already brainwashed a sizeable portion of American conservatives. It's no big stretch to see that they swayed Europeans too. At least social media has become much quieter and more civil since said Russian Trolls were conscripted. Anyway, everywhere has culture. I once read about German scientists who lamented that their city wasn't bombed by the Allies because they wanted shiny new laboratories in the rebuilt and modernized cities. (To be fair, the response by a senior scientist was along the lines of "it doesn't matter what cage the bird is in")

5. I do not trust American Mass Media but I trust to get more truth out of competing companies than out of state run media. I trust independent press in the EU and US infinitely more than any state run media source. Russia shut down all private media and now only runs state run media. This should set off several red flags. If Russia enacts a firewall, like the CCP has already, no one should trust them. Now, the most reliable source of truthful information in this situation is cellphone videos, corroborated with the free press and US intelligence.

6. To the surprise of everyone, the US intelligence agencies have been leaking all the info they gather on Russia so now the world knows what Russia is doing. Normally, much of this would be secrets, propaganda, and outright lies. Satellite footage, recordings from unsecured channels used by Russian military operations, seemingly everything. This level of transparency is unprecedented.

7. Dictators are generally bad for countries, and subsequent ones are worse still.

8. Off topic flame bait

9. Ukraine is the victim in this situation.

Ignorance, brutality, and oppression began when the first primitive man threw a rock at his neighbor -- and it is still with us. 

Even more tragic is the need to posses "power" -- with most "barbaric" behavior being perpetrated in the name of one "God" or another.

Even more tragic is the recent scene in a "Target" department store where some young woman kept telling customers they couldn't purchase merchandise related
