…The #earthquake was the biggest to hit #Morocco in 120yrs, toppling bldgs & walls in ancient cities made from stone & masonry not designed to withstand quakes.

“…where destructive earthquakes are #rare, bldgs are simply not constructed…to cope…, so many collapse resulting in high #casualties. …expect the final death toll to climb to thousands…. #aftershocks are likely, which will lead to further #casualties & hinder #SearchAndRescue,” Bill McGuire, prof of #geophysical & #Climate #Hazards UCL.

Preliminary magnitude 5.1 #earthquake hits #Ojai in #VenturaCounty -CBS #LosAngeles

There were no immediate reports of damage, the Ventura County Sheriff said in a social media post.

Shaking was felt throughout Los Angeles & surrounding communities, according to a #USGS tool that allows residents to self-report their experience.

At least two #aftershocks — measuring 3.1 and 3.6 — followed

"These #aftershocks were produced by the 6.3-magnitude #earthquake that rattled #Calatagan, #Batangas on Thursday. This seismic event was also felt in nearby #Luzon areas, shaking #Manila, #Mandaluyong, #QuezonCity, #Valenzuela, and parts of #Bulacan, #Rizal, and #Cavite at “moderately strong” Intensity IV." #Philippines

39 aftershocks recorded so far after 6.3-magnitude earthquake in Batangas

Geonet's seismometer near #Porangahau was somewhat overwhelmed by this morning's M5.9 and M5.4 #Earthquakes
The recording is sped up 48 times.
The square box formed by the trace is the mass in the seismometer hitting it's mechanical stops.
The #aftershocks continue.

#Canada will make it easier for #TemporaryResidents from #Turkey & #Syria to extend their stay in the country & will #prioritize the #VisaApplications of people from these two countries, #Immigration Minister Sean Fraser said on Saturday.

More than 50,000 people have been killed & millions #displaced after the 7.8-magnitude #earthquake & several #aftershocks hit Turkey & Syria on Feb. 6.

What a great analysis of the #Turkyie #Syria #Earthquakes and #Aftershocks by #Temblor. The #CoulombAnalysis helps understand the aftershocks. Watch the video by Ross Stein -= a brilliant demonstration of the basics of earthquake mechanics.

The impacts of these quakes has been horrendous with great loss of life. People have died - are dying. Please keep those affected in your thoughts.

As per the U.S. #Geological Survey, these are all the #earthquakes and #aftershocks that have hit #Turkey over the last 20 hours (up to 4:03pm EST)

#USGS

#Turkish #Disaster and #Emergency Management: 32 #aftershocks have occurred so far following the #earthquake, the largest of which was 6.6 on the Richter scale.

USGS Aftershock Forecast:
14% chance of 1 or more #aftershocks larger than #magnitude 5 within next week. There will likely be smaller aftershocks within the next week, with up to 27 magnitude 3 or higher aftershocks. Number of aftershocks will decrease over time, but a large aftershock can temporarily increase the number of aftershocks.
At the time of this forecast, there have been 12 magnitude 3 or higher aftershocks.

Taupō earthquake: more than 680 aftershocks, 30 landslides and a beach that vanished overnight
More than 680 aftershocks, 30 landslides and a beach that vanished into the depths are among the early notes from scientists who have been analysing the effects of the 5.7-magnitude quake that hit Lake Taupō late last month.
GNS Science has released its latest update on the quake, upgrading its magnitude from 5.6 to 5.7 after a more thorough data analysis.

Again, you can track the #aftershocks from the #BajaCalifornia #Mexico #earthquake today using a short python script with @obspy software. Remember that one order of magnitude is a 10-fold factor in the signal amplitude.
