I believe that the “mega quake” alert is a bit misleading.
-
Thank you geo hub for the concise update without the usual fear of many other channels
-
I think the megaquake alert serves largely to tell people to make sure their disaster plans and supplies are all up-to-date and stocked properly. I live just outside of where the 2011 tsunami reached (it occurred before I lived in Japan so I was not here for it), so it's definitely on our minds.
-
I’m just so grateful for your dedication.
-
I hope there will be no big earthquake soon and everyone will be safe
-
Thanks as always, Geology Hub.
-
Man I was waiting for your video about this earthquake. Yours are the best.
-
I’m still wondering about the 5.2 quake that occurred yesterday in Lamont / Grapevine CA that generated some interesting after shocks.
-
Thanks for all the hard work on these videos!
-
By far the best geology content on YouTube🙏 Been a fan for years, thank you!
-
This is the first place I heard about it. fast work!
-
Great work. Your summaries are excellent - concise and straight to the point. YOu are one of the best.
-
I heard there was a quake, but I decided to wait till you posted to avoid the hysterical posts. Thank you!
-
dude i love your videos so much, they're so informational and I always learn so much from them and I love knowing about geological things around the world when they happen because its interesting and important to be aware of your surroundings even if not immediate.
-
Much appreciated, GH
-
I really appreciate how you explained that, about the chances. Nicely done.
-
Thank you for your geo-reports 😊
-
Thanks for the timely information.
-
If that 2.9% is actually representative, that's a significant increased risk. A typical random week out of the year does not have nearly a 3% chance of an 8+ magnitude earthquake.

I live an hour away from the epicenter, we had a violent lightning storm come through just before the quake . I normally don’t mind quakes or lightning storms but both were so violent.
