The epicenter was Whitehouse Station, looks like 5 miles from Trump National, Bedminster. I love the smell of conspiracies in the morning! :biggrin:

This is a fun map to see once in a while. Makes you realize how active our world really is. There have been 36 earthquakes in the past day ranging from 2.5 (69 km SE of Akhiok, Alaska) up to a 6.5 (Maug Islands region, Northern Mariana Islands).

We live on a fascinating planet.

Indonesia’s Mount Ruang has erupted at least three times this week, forcing the evacuation of hundreds of people. On Wednesday evening local time, the volcano’s eruption shot ash nearly 70,000 feet high, possibly spewing aerosols into the stratosphere, the atmosphere’s second layer.

The volcano is part of Indonesia’s North Sulawesi province, in the Sangihe Islands archipelago. That puts it about 60 miles north-northeast of Manado, the province’s capital.

Indonesia volcano eruption sparks tsunami fears
Mount Ruang has repeatedly erupted, and officials fear it could collapse and create a tsunami, with thousands being evacuated from the area

Staff and agencies in Jakarta
Wed 17 Apr 2024 20.36 CEST

Authorities in Indonesia have issued a tsunami alert after a volcano erupted five times in the province of North Sulawesi, spewing a column of smoke more than a mile into the sky and forcing the evacuation of thousands of people from their homes.

Mount Ruang, a stratovolcano, first erupted at 9.45pm local time on Tuesday and then four times on Wednesday, Indonesia’s volcanology agency said.

Officials worry that part of the volcano could collapse into the sea and cause a tsunami, as happened in 1871. Tagulandang island to the volcano’s north-east is again at risk.

The alert level for the volcano, which has a peak of 725 metres above sea level, was raised on Wednesday evening from three to four, the highest level in the four-tiered system.
