6.9 Richters Papua New Guinea Along With Many More Earthquakes!!!!! Including Truckee, California!!!

Here's the banner headline from the USGS Report on that big 6.9 Earthquake:

2016-10-17 06:14:58 UTC 6.053°S 148.862°E 35.0 km depth

Had to go and re-check this one because I couldn't be sure knowing there had also been another one in the middle of the night Sunday Night. . . but you can see that one further down the list which starts at the bottom, the now 6.4 and the time 8:03 would be Univerasl Time or 3:03am Central Time, and the 6.9 is no longer the most recent one there, as of this writing:

Upon editing I also noticed a big China Earthquake, although I seem to recall the magnitude having been chanced to like 5.9 as is common with China Earthquakes, so it's hard to tell how big it was. . . usually 6.4:

6.4 - 135km NE of Dartang, China
2016-10-17 07:14:50 UTC 32.910°N 94.872°E 32.1 km depth
