Was wondering if the Lunar Eclipse would have anything to do with an increase in seismic activity..

Stay with it, what with the lunar equinox it may portend something larger than normal.

9.3 miles deep, so most likely not. Depends on what type if EQ it was.

I am in Alaska, more to where is about 11 miles north of Wasilla, we get more earthquakes here than CA, I don’t feel any less than 3.5 and even a 5.0 was just a “bump” here, a bit scary but we are on that “Ring of Fire”, down along the Aleutian chain they get a lot of BIG shakers.

Ping me please if you hear anything important. I live on west Maui at about 7 ft. elevation. The last time there was danger we headed for higher ground for about three hours and nothing came of it, thank God.

.01 meter is about 4 inches, that can multiply upon a long shallow shoreline, I remember the Chilean quake and the tsunami fears when it hit Hawaii.

Yep, a lot of creaking and slipping going on. Hope there isn’t any serious damage or injury. I notice the almost daily 4+ mag quake of Southern Yemin happened today as well.
