5.8 Richters Earthquake Struck Offshore From The SOUTH Island of New Zealand Saturday USA Time!!! Shaking Seems To Have At Least For Now STOPPED at Greece Epicenter!!!

Hope everybodys "Thanksgiving Holiday" is going great like mine. . . being spent at home with the family!!! THAT was when my phone rang with this, a 5.8 New Zealand Earthquake that then required me to race to the list of latest earthquakes at earliest convenience!!! Not too much to worry about, though, besides getting this extra edition of my EQ Blog out with all that info and the rest of the stuff that's been ready to go just the same!!! Borrowed the felt report from New Zealand and they had a total of 53 reported to them there, with none so far sent to our own USGS so no felt reports at all to USGS up to this point. Maybe if needed I'll update that, now here's all the info:

Here's the USGS Report from the bigger one and it shows the list of nearby places and is interesting, too:

This one isn't too far from Los Angeles and with the full moon it's just possible more could be shaking around there, although those alerts are now starting to pass, and so is the full moon window which actually ended Friday:

Greece goes all the way back to the last time I posted these or the beginning of this week and that one starts this list off reading up:

4.5 49km SE of Lardos, Greece 2018-11-24 20:40
4.2 65km WSW of Methoni, Greece 2018-11-22 12:00
4.6 43km SW of Mouzaki, Greece 2018-11-22 10:00
4.6 59km SSW of Lithakia, Greece 2018-11-22 05:11
4.6 65km SSW of Lithakia, Greece 2018-11-20 04:16
4.4 40km SSW of Lithakia, Greece 2018-11-19 18:11
5.3 53km SSW of Lithakia, Greece 2018-11-19 07:05

So, the shaking at Greece seems to have stopped by the end of the week, although no telling if or when it might start up again! Now one, of course, as I was posting this, too, as you can see there!!! If all this shaking was connected to the big Turkey Earthquake we were watching for that will hopefully be all of it and also says to watch Mexico for some similar shaking. . . and maybe a lot of it, too!!! Enjoy the rest of you Holiday Weekend!!!
