Hope Point, South Georgia Island seismic station located at 1257 km from epicenter recorded the following seismogram:
So far Planetary geometry Venus-Mercury-Uranus has not produced a significant M6+ event as expected. As can be seen in the world map of earthquakes, the energy is concentrated in Southeast Asia.
The total number of earthquakes recorded worldwide in the last 24 hours has increased to 937 which is above normal range of activity.
