Happens all the time. Media is just going ham reporting on every single shake they can find to keep riding the click-train of the Turkey disaster.

Just wait till you see how many clicks the major pnw quake gets.

You'll be fine. Just make sure you're not in a building, or on a road, or near any structures and you'll be fine.

If the earthquake can’t see me it can’t hurt me

6.2 happens all the time?

2022 had 128 earthquakes greater than 6.0 across the world.

About every third day in the long-term average. Normally they don't make international news, but after the Turkey earthquakes every 6.x gets media attention for a while.

Well, that's kind of overwhelming. Thanks?

Here's a magnitude 1.5 earthquake report on the UK. So scary!

Well could be that we do get more earthquakes based on solar activity and the sun has been acting a little bit weird lately while also approaching it's projected cycle peak.
It's still a loose correlation based link, but we haven't written it off yet and this cycle will be a good one to study.

Don't forget the one in Wales, too.

It's a normal amount of earthquakes. We are just more focused on them because of what happened in Turkey and Syria.

Pretty sure I read about one in Indonesia yesterday.

Eh. You realize there are 44 or more active volcanoes so ... earthquakes are frequently felt... plate tectonics et al... just the big ones that do damage we are told about.

Dont forget wales in the UK. Seems that they got hit with a 3.7 or something.
Not an expert but it seems that recently the tectonic plates are having a bit of a grumble and doing some rearrangement.

There were over 15,000 earthquakes >4.0 magnitude last year

Expert here. That's completely normal and not out of the ordinary. They just report it now. You can compare the numbers easily: https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/search/
Also, the most commonly used scale (Richter) is logarithmic. There's a huge difference between magnitude 3 and magnitude 6.

Cool. thank you! I had a vague notion that what you said was the case and its good to hear someone say it (or read it in this case).
Appreciate the link too. Going to educate myself more and have a look at it.
