Earthquakes increasing

The Earth seems to be shaking at the prospects of the damages the shrub and the cabal will do to it in the last days of their junta by convulsing everywhere ...

Yellowstone National Park.
Hundreds of earthquakes have hit Yellowstone National Park, raising fears of a more powerful volcanic eruption.

The earthquake swarm, the biggest in more than 20 years, is being closely monitored by scientists and emergency authorities. - Timesonline
In the last eight days, there have been more than 400 earthquakes at Yellowstone National Park — where the volcanic system powers the geysers, mudpots and steam vents. - NPR
Yellowstone National Park sits atop a supervolcano. The entire park is the depression of a caldera more than twice the size of Oahu that is the result of an unimaginably large eruption some 600,000 years ago.

By comparison, the caldera left by the explosion of Mount Saint Helens in 1980 is about the size of downtown Honolulu. - Honolulu Star Bulletin
Indonesia
A series of powerful earthquakes have killed at least four people and injured dozens more in remote eastern Indonesia, cutting power lines and destroying buildings.

One of the quakes - a 7.3-magnitude tremor - sent small tsunamis into Japan's south-eastern coast, but there were no reports of damage there and no tsunami in Indonesia's impoverished Papua area. - Australia Herald Sun
Afghanistan
A moderate earthquake shook northeastern Afghanistan Sunday, sending people running from their homes, but there were no immediate reports of damage, witnesses and officials said.
The 5.9-magnitude quake struck at 12:53 am (2023 gmt Saturday), around 255 kilometres (160 miles) northeast of the capital Kabul and near the border with pakistan, the us geological survey said. - AFP
