Did You Feel It? Major Earthquakes Rock the World Today May 2nd 2025!

James Kaufman, World News Report today, May 2nd, 2025. God bless you and yours, no matter where you are in the world. Please subscribe, give us a thumbs up, ring that bell for critical future updates. Ladies and gentlemen, we've had two major earthquakes today. We did warn you to be on the lookout for additional earthquake activity. For all the geomagnetic storms that we've been having and the plates being charged, what we have is a major 7.4 magnitude earthquake around Drake's Passage, the tip of South America. It came in as a 9 on the DYFI, came in as a 5 on ShakeMap, and it had an associated tsunami warning with it. The USGS assigned it a depth of 10 kilometers, meaning they don't know how deep it was. That's the default depth. And again, this was a major 7.4 magnitude earthquake. Now next, we take a look at what I think is the biggest aftershock that I remember seeing. It's a magnitude 6.6 earthquake. They are calling it an aftershock on Volcano Discovery, an aftershock of the 7.4 being a 6.6 magnitude earthquake with a tsunami warning, basically just south of Drake's Passage, and they have it at a depth of 45 kilometers. Now, if all that wasn't enough, We've also seen a 6.4 magnitude earthquake right in that same exact area. It's going to be just south of Drake's Passage, the southern tip of South America, and that's going to be with a tsunami warning at a default depth of 10 kilometers. Let's grab some detailed information on these two or three quakes and see if we can make any sense of them whatsoever. I say two, three quakes because sometimes it shows that we have two large aftershocks, the 6.6 and 6.4, whereas as you can see here, other times it says we only had one aftershock. So let's get this figured out as quickly as possible. All right over to VolcanoesandEarthquakes.com. Go ahead and zoom in and take a look at what we've got down here. Drake's Passage definitely on a plate tectonic boundary a major plate here and this very well could be a subduction zone. You can see this feature here. We have the 7.4 here. And we will get some detailed information about it, but it looks like the USGS came in at 7.4, Germany at 7.4, and Chile at 7.5. Then we have our 6.6 magnitude earthquake. It should just be a 6.6, and Germany says 6.3, the Europeans say 6.4, USGS has it at a 6.6. According to this information from VolcanoesandEarthquakes.com, we don't see the 6.4. Now, there's going to be some problems. I believe they've downgraded it to a 6.4 at this point, and some of the information is lagging. Now, I did want to show you all how active this area is. These are just 4.0s. 4.0s are stronger. Unbelievable. Whatever's happening there, it's a big deal. Very big deal. And I don't know, I did look for volcanoes in that area. You know that we have a herd volcano right here, South Sandwich Islands, but I don't see any volcanoes anywhere around here. We have one active volcano right here on the mainland. There could be some seamounts under here, but Since these are on the plate tectonic boundary, I'm just feeling it's going to have something to do with that or this feature that looks like a subduction zone here, as you can see. Again, putting just the 4.0s or larger on and then putting all of them on, there's a couple of 3s in there, talking about quite some swarm of earthquakes. And I won't be able to count them for you. Starting off with the 6.6, which is it? A 6.4, a 6.6, or both? Very strong magnitude, 6.6. It's going to be VolcanoDiscovery.com. This is going to be just south of the tip of Chile, of course. A confirmed, manually revised 6.6 USGS 7.5 atomic bombs worth of energy released. Comparing earthquake data from different reporting agencies, USGS, 6.6, 45 kilometers of depth. Germany comes in at a 6.39 default depth. We have the Europeans come in at a 6.4 default depth. Raspberry Shake, a 6.3 default depth. We have the Incorporated Research Institute for Seismology at a 6.4. We have the Australians coming in at a 6.43, and this blows my mind away. The French are coming in with the highest number. This is a first, a 6.62, default depth, 10 kilometers. And it looks like we have the Italians coming in at 6.5. And this is what's interesting, the USGS is coming in again for a second time, there's a 6-4 default depth, and then at the top, there was a main source, there's a 6-6 with an actual depth of 45 kilometers. So I don't know what's going on here. Same quake, as far as I can tell. Also, over at VolcanoDiscovery.com, the major 7.4 magnitude earthquake, again, just south of the tip of Chile, strikes passage, and earthquake details, 7.4 confirmed, main primary source, USGS, 33 reports, how convenient. 118.7 atomic bombs worth of energy released with that one. Imagine all the shaking going on down there right now with the 6.6, the 7.4, and then the dozens of 4, 5, and 6.0 earthquakes that also followed. All right, comparing earthquake Data from different reporting agencies will start out with the USGS, a 7.4 default depth. Germany, a 7.45, even stronger default depth. We've got Chile coming in at a 7.5 default depth. Australia, a 7.54, 29 kilometers worth of depth. We've got the Incorporated Research Institute for Seismology coming in at a 7.4. Now this makes sense. The French come in at 6.85, Italians at 7.0, 32 kilometers worth of depth. So we have a good idea of the depth of this for the Australians and the Italians. And finally the Europeans come in at 7.4 default depth, Drake's Passage. So, in summary, we had at least two very large earthquakes, the 7.4 and the 6.6 or 6.4, and we've had just a huge swarm in that area as well, definitely on a plate tectonic boundary. No active volcanoes appear to be in the area, although there could very well be some seamounts, which are underwater volcanoes in that area. It looks like some sort of subduction zone. We'd have to take a look at the geology a little bit harder to determine if that's the case. But something huge is going on there that's going to push its way all the way up to, you guessed it, North America, which means Central America, the United States, and Canada. Again, expect more earthquakes. Expect this energy to have to go somewhere, most probably north. But again, expect more earthquake activity with the geomagnetic storm still in progress as of now, that's May 2nd, 2025. God bless, please share, stay safe out there, and always remember, anything's possible, Bizarro world.
