The 6.2 Ecuador Earthquake struck about 50 miles east of Guayaquil, 50 miles south of Riobamba, and about 145 miles south of Quito, Ecuador and since it struck rather late on Thursday, the felt reports will continue to come in through Friday and I'll basically deal with that later although it's at 97 with 19 from Quito and several from Peru. . . I'll post it when it settles down, there, for now here's the USGS on it:

6.2 - 17km SSW of Alausi, Ecuador
2018-09-07 02:12:04 UTC 2.345°S 78.896°W 93.5 km depth

Nearby Places:
Alausí, Ecuador 16.6 km (10.3 mi) SSW
Azogues, Ecuador 43.9 km (27.3 mi) N
La Troncal, Ecuador 50.2 km (31.2 mi) E
Gualaceo, Ecuador 61.9 km (38.5 mi) NNW

Death toll in Hokkaido Japan at scene of the 6.6 is now 16 with 26 missing as they're digging through rubble after several landslides to find missing.

Looks like the forecast on Hurricane Florence, aside from the fact that it's also being called a Tropical Storm now due to flucuations in I suppose the highest wind speeds, forecast is saying it should strengthen again like over this weekend as it approaches Bermuda. So, spaghetti continues to have the Outer Banks of North Carolina, Virginai and New Jersey directly in its path!!! It appears very much still possible to make it to our East Coast no matter how much is left of it and with all due respect for all the other spaghetti's I've run those great drawings of such as todays. . . could this lead to a big East Coast Earthquake? One in line with all that spaghetti? Watch for that as we wait to see into next week what Hurricane/T.S. Florence might do!!!

All the shaking that happened seems to have pre-empted a lot of other good stuff I might have had prepared for todays edition. . . or not, anyways hope I didn't miss any earthquakes because there sure were a lot of them with phone ringing off and on about all day with earthquakes!!!!! And I know 8.1 Fiji hardly got a mention, but with all due respect for the folks in Japan they really shook and it hit rather near some populated regions and has certainly caused damage, injuries, and death, there, and will surely be the subject of this weeks edition of "Earthquake Minute" so tune-in!!!!! And watch for a lot more shaking and more hurricanes and typhoons with the season underway big time!!! Lots more earthquakes coming, too, you know!!!
