6.6 Richters Indonesia Earthquake Strikes as January 2019 New Moon Is Sure Striking Lots of Places With Major Earthquakes!!!!! Including a 6.8 Brazil, 6.1 Alaska Islands, and 5.8 Japan!!!!!

First one at the top of todays EQ Blog is a 6.6 Indonesia Earthquake a few miles from where the big September 2018 Earthquake/Tsunami struck at Sulawesi, Indonesia and around 900 Miles East of Jakarta so not near the recent Volcano/Tsunami Event Epicenter. This one still well within the New Moon Window however this one struck there AFTER the Exact Moment and all the rest except an Iran Earthquake struck BEFORE.

Here's a great News Story about Sundays 6.6 Indonesia Earthquake@ https://punchng.com/strong-6-6-magnitude-earthquake-rocks-indonesia/

This one also came in on Sunday although it doesn't seem all that significant other than ringing my phone, I did locate one or two news stories saying people ran out of buildings in Baghdad and the epicenter was 145 Kilometers from that city near the border with Iraq. Here's all I have on that one that also struck within the New Moon Window that ended Sunday Night:

NOW Shakers That Struck In The Hours BEFORE Exact Moment of New Moon

Until late Saturday Night, this one was the biggest and this one and all the following struck in the hours BEFORE the Exact Moment of the New Moon and this will mostly be the felt report because this epicenter is far up into those Mountains of far Eastern Brazil near the border with Peru! Now updated at press time, too:

Nothing else to run with this Japan Earthquake besides the fact that it struck right around the Exact Moment of the New Moon!!! NO Felt Reports, and nearby places include the fact that it's over 600 miles to mainland Japan, so there might have been a distance given to a "Jima" or "Shima" there, but I'm nowhere near familiar enough with all the Jima's and Shima's to post the name of one. . . just a lot of miles to "Mainland Japan":

5.8 - 274km ESE of Chichi-shima, Japan
2019-01-05 22:54:13 (UTC) 25.841°N 144.594°E

This one struck Saturday with all the rest of them at the Exact Moment of the New Moon, felt report was mostly Anchorage with 2 from Wasilla and now 6 from Eagle River, so here's the USGS with distance to Anchorage:

3.3 - 2km SSW of Anchorage, Alaska
2019-01-05 18:25:58 61.195°N 149.925°W 39.5 km depth

Nearby Places
1.8 Miles NNE is Anchorage, Alaska
14.8 Miles NE is Eagle River, Alaska, USA

Yet another one that's worth noting and the same night as that New Moon, too!!!

Some Previous Earthquakes From Like Friday, Etc.

This was bigger news on Friday, but right now it's just another felt report!!! This is the one that was added to "Earthquake Minute" due to having shook at the last minute on Thursday, so I'll just leave it here and maybe update the felt report if needed:

3.6 - 12km NNW of Anchorage, Alaska
2019-01-03 15:22:56 (UTC) 44.9 km depth

City.........State.......Zip.........USA.........................#......Km

And so there's quite a lot of earthquakes inside the January New Moon Window!!! As usual a lot of them struck in the hours before and a few in the hours after that exact moment on Saturday Night!!! With 6.8 Tarauaca, Brazil, 5.8 Japan, and 6.1 Tanaga Volcano, Alaska all striking within 24 Hours Before, and 6.6 Indonesia, and 5.6 Iran after the Exact Moment but ALL within that 48 Hours Window!!! Now the New Moon Window ended Sunday Night but that one alert runs to Mid-January still. . . and I notice Lima still on that list although they've sure been shaking, more could be yet to come, there!!!
