Earthquake Ping List.
If you wish to be removed from the Earthquake Ping List or added to it, please FReepmail me.

Initially the magnitude was 7.2 for this earthquake. The magnitude was later reduced to 6.9 by USGS Seismologists. It's considered a shallow earthquake and there are no tsunami warnings or advisories.

[DannyTN]

That makes me hungry.

Ditto on hoping everyone’s okay.
