BIG 6.5 Richter Earthquake Struck PNG!!! And Another Fairly Big Earthquake Strikes The Area Around The North Sea at NORWAY This Time!!! 4.0 Exactly On The Path Hurricane Ophelia Took Across That Region!!!

I will run the pic I've specially created just for this edition of my EQ Blog, then it will be followed by the USGS Report on the 4.0 Norway Earthquake that struck on Tuesday there. Can hardly beleive these are following so close to that huge windstorm Hurricane Ophelia that tracked right through there as the drawing shows!!! You can also see where the epicenter of the Scotland Earthquake was and the line also goes directly through that, too:

LINE goes directly into Norway and as you can see the epicenter of the 4.0 is actually just a few miles to the north of where the line went!!!!! Although the line might not exactly represent the final path. . . that earthquake couldn't have struck too far from a lot of the action there as far as high winds are concerned!!! Here's the USGS Report and the felt report was one or two from Bergen:

4.0 - 10km WSW of Tjeldsto, Norway
2017-11-07 08:46:32 UTC 60.578°N 4.657°E 4.3 km depth

Nearby Places:
Tjeldstø, Norway 10.5 km (6.5 mi) W
Askøy, Norway 35.1 km (21.8 mi) NW
Bergen, Norway 42.1 km (26.2 mi) WNW

It's not that common New Madrid keeps coming up, although they do get earthquakes in this region, it could be considered a fact that a Major one is out there for them. . . at best someday:

1.4 6km SW of Lilbourn, Missouri 2017-11-06 03:43
2.2 9km S of New Madrid, Missouri 2017-11-04 21:09

City.....Region.....Country..............................#.....Km
Angoram, East Sepik, Papua New Guinea.......1...127 km
Ambunti, East Sepik, Papua New Guinea.......1...129 km
Wewak, East Sepik, Papua New Guinea.........1...131 km
Porgera, Enga, Papua New Guinea.............4...176 km

Mount Hagen, Western Highlands, PNG.........1...225 km
Mendi, Southern Highlands, Papua New Guinea.1...237 km
Kiunga, Fly River, Papua New Guinea.........2...337 km

So, I'll be awaiting the next big one worth writing about here, and until then be watching for a couple of big earthquakes, yet, and that landfall of Typhoon Damrey at Vietnam a day or two ago is sure to mean more big shaking for the likes of Burma, Myanmar, and that whole entire Indio/Aust. Tectonic Plate again where we're already watching!!!
