James Kaufman, World News Report today.
Ladies and gentlemen,
we've had a swarm of earthquakes on the Russian peninsula
on a plate tectonic boundary where we have five active volcanoes.
This is a 6.6, the largest of the swarm.
We also had a 6.0 pop off as well today.
I will see if I can show you the swarm here.
news first you can see how extensive the swarm
really is and this is only going to show you
earthquakes that are 4.0 or 4.5
or larger outside the u.s the usgs only shows that
but what we do have is a 6.6 and a 6.0 right there
on the peninsula there right under five active
volcanoes. Let's get some more information.
All right, when I wandered over here, it said a 6.0,
and that was actually an aftershock.
Pretty hard to grab that 6.6. You can see all the active
volcanoes under it here.
There's several of them, and I believe there's, well, let's zoom in and
make sure we get a good number. I believe there's five.
One, two, three, four, five, and we'll call
6. Let's see if we can grab that
6.6 here and get some
additional information.
And we have the USGS
reporting at 6.6
at 5.5
kilometers. So, not
very deep at all. The Europeans
coming in at 6.6
as well. Germany
coming in at 6.6
at 22 kilometers.
I guess the USGS
is really at a default depth
and has not determined
how deep this quake and this swarm is let's see it's
on a plate tectonic boundary and there are
really a line of volcanoes it's a volcanic ridge
uh going down and there's a ton of aftershocks
look at this i wouldn't be able to count them
if i wanted to zoom in and see if we can get a
little bit better to look you can guess them
but there's about 12 total and they are offshore
quite a bit but they're associated with that volcanic range
or ridge that runs all the way
through here and that plate tectonic boundary here
which is the north american pacific plate
boundary here so crazy crazy crazy so a six six
and a six oh very strong magnitude get a little
bit better close-up view of that really close
to the coast i'm surprised it wasn't a tsunami
warning associated at least the six six we'll check
the buoys in that area just in case uh this
is a six two magnitude i don't know
which one this was was it upgraded since this occurred or
downgraded all right some earthquake details
from the usgs 21 reports i didn't see that let's check
map 21 reports of people
that felt it nearest volcano it says it's 79 miles away it sure
doesn't look like it to me 7.5 atomic bombs worth
of energy released here uh and obviously it came
in at a 6.60 and this is the updated shake map here you can see all
the reports came in from
these towns here around this bay
and they're all medium intensity reports in the blue and green
area one a little bit stronger here probably well i would think
that you would have seen a tsunami
come up into that bay even if it was just a few inches tall
or high but we'll check comparing
earthquake data from different reporting agencies start
with a 6.6 default depth usgs
a 6.6 at only 5.5 kilometers the europeans a 6.6
at 22 kilometers germany a 6.6 at 25 kilometers
raspberry shake australians come
in at 6.8 default depth 10 kilometers wow of course we knew that was
the french and a 6.19 plus or minus 0.18
and lastly we have the italians coming in at 6.6 as
well at 23 kilometers
so it looks like that 25 kilometer number uh is good i can't believe
australians came in at 6.8 here wow let's check that buoy map
and see if it just went unreported
and in fact it did go unreported station 21416
is in event mode currently how funny
very little movement here we're talking a couple
of centimeters get some detailed information on
that here is that event here
and we're talking about five to seven centimeters and here's well
That red is right here in slow-mo, if you will.
So about 5 to 7 centimeters.
I'm sure that that harbor did take a little tsunami or a little wave,
and that's why you got so many reports.
So there you go, a 6.6 magnitude earthquake, a 6.0,
about 10 additional aftershocks, maybe more.
Look at the smaller ones.
And this is on the Russian Peninsula.
we have five to six active volcanoes
on a plate tectonic boundary on a volcanic ridge
etc etc etc that said god bless folks please share
our videos please give us a thumbs up
most importantly and please subscribe if you haven't
and always remember that anything's
possible bizarro world
