6.0 Richters Earthquake Struck Near Island of Samoa Near Wallis and Futuna Out There AGAIN in Those Pacific Islands Region!!! AND There is Some More Shaking at IRAN-IRAQ!!!

When this one came it it just said Samoa? Although I knew that probably meant American Samoa, I just now figured it out as Samoa appears in the list of nearby places at 225 miles away. That first place, Wallis and Futuna actually has two felt reports on this one, too:

6.0 - 194km SE of Mata-Utu, Wallis and Futuna
2017-11-20 18:51:07 UTC 14.637°S 175.027°W 6.0 km depth

Nearby Places:
120 Miles SE of Mata-Utu, Wallis and Futuna
122.3 Miles Northwest of Hihifo, Tonga
225.5 Miles WSW of Apia, Samoa
289.3 Miles West of Tāfuna, American Samoa
290.8 Miles West of Pago Pago, American Samoa

It is rare and next to unheard of for Redwood City to be so near the epicenter as was the case yesterday here:

1.6 - 1km ESE of Redwood City, California
2017-11-20 19:36:22 UTC 37.477°N 122.217°W 4.9 km depth

Nearby Places:
1.2 Miles West North Fair Oaks, California
1.2 Miles ESE of Redwood City, California
1.2 Miles Northwest of Atherton, California
2.5 Miles Northwest of Menlo Park, California

Thought this one might mean Iran-Iraq was about to be shaking again, but the Pacific Islands might not be all through just yet so keep an eye on Iran a while:

5.1 - 39km SSE of Mehran, Iran
2017-11-20 15:23:39 UTC 32.813°N 46.378°E 10.0 km depth

Nearby Places:
Mehrān, Iran 39.7 km (24.7 mi) SSE
‘Alī al Gharbī, Iraq 48.6 km (30.2 mi) NW
Al Kūt, Iraq 62.1 km (38.6 mi) ENE
Al Ḩayy, Iraq 77.5 km (48.1 mi) NNE
Dehlorān, Iran 84.5 km (52.5 mi) West

This one followed that one, and struck very near the place where most of the deaths from the big one were at, or second one on the list of nearby places here:

4.5 - 22km NNW of Sarpol-e Zahab, Iran
2017-11-20 15:35:56 UTC 34.635°N 45.742°E 10.0 km depth

Nearby Places:
12.4 Miles Northeast of Qaşr-e Shīrīn, Iran
13.8 Miles NNW of Sarpol-e Z̄ahāb, Iran
39.9 Miles SSW of Ḩalabjah, Iraq
