5.5 Iquique, Chile Monday!!! 6.4 Philippines Earthquake Struck Early Saturday!!! Explosion In Beirut Equals a 3.3 On The Richter Scale This Week!!! NOTE: Pages Pretty Messed Up Due To NEW System!!!

While we definitely are watching a few important places for movement of the tectonic plates coming yet, this one became news on Tuesday!!! An explosion of some sort that has now shown up for amount of shaking counting as an EARTHQUAKE!!!!! Here's what the USGS Report says:

3.3 Explosion - 1 km ENE of Beirut, Lebanon
2020-08-04 15:08:18 (UTC) 33.901°N 35.519°E 0.0 km depth

"The Beirut, Lebanon explosion was processed using the same basic methods that we use for regional earthquakes. To remove uncertainties in the location associated with seismic methods, we fix the location to the location seen in videos of the blast. Standard methods were used to calculate the magnitude. The reported magnitude is not directly comparable to an earthquake of similar size because the explosion occurred at the surface where seismic waves are not as efficiently generated."

This would be the felt report:

3.3 Explosion - 1 km ENE of Beirut, Lebanon
2020-08-04 15:08:18 (UTC) 33.901°N 35.519°E 0.0 km depth

Here's some action probably under the full moon there, too and one of the places exactly where we are watching Arica, Chile, too!!! Day Number on that very alert is Day 8 and can be beleived the result of some Tectonic Plate Movement from near landfall at Hawaii of Hurricane Douglas on July 26 there! Let's assume more to come, too with Arica directly in line for shaking probably more yet!!! And as you can see them on list of nearby places at 103 miles from THIS epicenter:

5.5 - 115 km NE of Iquique, Chile

Presently the biggest story is that they have now changed ALL the stuff around on this BLOG. . . and as the result I am currently NOT able to figure out how to correct LOT of the problems with this edition as well as the transcript/script posting of this weeks show and right at the moment not sure if the show itself will even be posting correctly!!!!! Sorry!!! Rest assurred I/ll be working on all that!!!!! Thank-You!!!!!
