Bulgaria EQ M 5.8

Another quake in Bulgaria I think just now.

EMSC had a warning notice at the TOP of the page saying it was felt 7 mins ago.

But now EMSC has gone down again for me so I can't see the NEW readings coming in.

Just wandered why you perceive these earthquakes as rare? Statistically Bulgaria expects an earthquake of mag 5+ every few years, Italy mag 6+ every year, brazil mag 4+ every 10 to 12 months (all conservative).

+200 and I never imagined that some shills will come even from the countryside of my small country, others from the Bulgarian countryman community in USA.

All within 3 days of each other is rare, very rare.
Add to the recently the 4.8 Earthquake in Eastern Texas.

i love this !!!!

On 2012 may 20 in Sri lanka Tremor shaked Nuwara Eliya District.


(in Sri lanka shakes are very rare!but on April 13 there was a shake) 2 shakes within 2 months! Very rare here!

News-
A slight earth tremor has been experienced in Nuwara Eliya and Badulla early this morning.

The Disaster Management Centre has said that the earth tremor had also been felt in certain areas in Matara.

Assistant Director of the Disaster Management Centre, Pradeep Kodippili said that a research is being carried out on the earth tremor.

Meanwhile, Nuwara Eliya District Secretary, D.P.G.Kumarasiri said that the earth tremor had been
experienced in several areas in the Nuwara Eliya district.

He said that the area District Disaster Management Officer had informed him about the earth tremor at
around 1 a.m this morning.

He added that the Grama Niladhari had also conveyed the same message to him.

He said further that no damage has been reported but that as per their duty they had informed the Disaster Management Centre with regard to this.

no one percieves earthquakes as rare. but their frequency is increasing.

[link to www.world-earthquakes.com]

past 10 years

2011 21%
2004 10.5%

2012 8.9% so far

Well, maybe another M6.2 there soon. This happened the other day in Chile and 1 hour later there was a M6.2.

Greece had a 8.3 in 1903.
Just sayin!

I don't think this one has much to do with fracking...

And what about those east Texas quakes???

That is true, but do you think it might have something to do with the fact that Bulgaria along with other with countries surrounding it and with most of eastern Europe did not begin the notmodernization process for the Seismological Network until 2004, hence increasing the frequency after that point with more reliable data, just wandering

To all who believe this was a tension release and therefore a good thing - the seismic activity is merely piking up.

Earthquakes are getting more frequent.

This is just the beginning.

Do not kid yourselves.

Stop living in denial.

Fight that normalcy bias!

ti lud li si?!

They are dead wrong. This is a very active time and we all need to prepare. If i cld, believe me i wouldnt live in the city. I dont mean to scare anyone by any means, just want pple to prepare and realize we are in a time of shift/earth changes.

no, not really. given that the USGS can pinpoint locations of earthquakes in japan, it doesn't make any difference that bulgaria didn't have a seismic network until 2004. seismic waves travel the globe, they are not dependent on borders. there is land, there is sea. one land mass, one ocean. borders were drawn by rulers, with rulers for rulers.
planet earth does not obey boundaries or rulers.

I live on third floor of an apartment building with 5000 plus units...if quake hits im fkd. But i was put here and if its my time then thats it. Dont fear pple. Watever u do dont feed into the fear. Things are not always as they seem. And remember dont follow the crowds when it really happens. <~~ not in regards to quakes last two sentences.

Bulgarian countryman emigrant shill from USA shut the fuck up and get the fuck out of GLP.

Nothing special, felt weak. Any better doom?

Hmm i think he's right. This was a "classic" earthquake with several weaker aftershocks. No reason to worry about a bigger one.

Oh come on. You LIVE here, no way you don't know it was time for a more significant EQ. When was the last time we had one? That's exactly why it's indeed perfectly normal.

Is the shit going to hit the fan soon? I do hope so !

Me too, but that's just not a sign for coming SHTF.

Is bulgaria and/or Italy the antipode to where the solar eclipse was centered to an earth viewer... in other words, lined up with the solar eclipse?

Well guys, who's penis is the biggest?
You got your 15 sec fame on GLP (I know that's exiting), now calm yourself down and act like big boys...egati, golemi myve, golqmo neshto...a posle nie sme bill ligli!

Was the japan quake after the supermoon ..

If so how many days ..

Exactly. All in al there are a few slightly damaged blocks. Not exactly breaking news and certainly not out of the ordinary.

What buildings? In Sofia?

Very true for large earthquakes maybe 8+ can be picked up at stations all over the world, however below 5 mag not always the case, espescially shallow earthquakes. Usgs use data from stations located usually within 100 km from the epicenter when they make the measurement this is sent electronically

Yep, it seems so:
