...two major quakes in three days, on almost EXACTLY opposite points on the Pacific rim...

“Nasty” indeed. Prayers, indeed, for everybody in that part of the hemisphere.

And there was an outlier, odd Nebraska (3.1) quake.

There was a volcano eruption (Cleaveland) in Alaska this morning. The ring of fire is very active to say the least.

Now the Ecuador quake—a 7.8 is massive; but Friday’s 6.1 in Japan turned out to be a foreshock to yesterday 7.2.
