That i thought were interesting were the quakes in the Northern Red Sea/Dead Sea region as well as the ones in India Recently especially on the West Coast. I v'e mentioned for a few months now that I believe there is a large amount of tectonic pressure building in these areas. The quakes that occured today were in the exact areas that I've been expecting the activity.
