NOTE: This is the patern i have been looking for
2 quakes in close proximity
the 1st 1 being above 4.5 and the 2nd one being bigger inside a few hours of the 1st one
this is what i was wonderig about as a patern of a larger movement about to happen.
what do i think will result ? dont know
it maybe unrelated
given the above 5 i would gues it to be around a 7.4 maybe 7.3 somewhere on the close corresponding plate boundary on a direction moving westward or on the west side of the closest plate boundary.
Time2018-10-01 07:21:40 (UTC)
Location26.678°S 67.626°E
Depth 10.0 km
NOTE: just prior to this was a ridge(my speculation of upward movement/release) AND in the same location
location wise i would gues around lower arabian sea area, hopefully well away from land and people.

Some reports are saying that the (latest) Indonesia tsunami's death toll has risen above 1,200. Still a small fraction of the 228,000 that died in the super-giant Indian Ocean tsunami in 2004, after a huge (upwards of mag 9.1) earthquake near the Indonesian island of Sumatra. (That has to be one of the biggest natural disasters of all time.)
But we can't belittle this one. A death toll of 1,200 makes this a certifiably major disaster by normal standards.
"Sutopo Purwo Nugroho, a spokesman for Indonesia's National Disaster Mitigation Agency, told the BBC that the tsunami detector buoys --- 21 floating devices connected to deep sea sensors --- weren't working. The detection system had either been damaged or stolen...
This area of Indonesia has seen about 15 earthquakes with magnitudes larger than 6.5 over the last century, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. The largest, a magnitude 7.9, hit in 1996, about 60 miles (100 kilometers) north of this new earthquake, and resulted in 10 deaths."

most of those places dont have a census
considering entire familys would have been washed out or burried, there is likely to be no one for weeks to report the missing.

Moderate earthquake (54 mins ago) time when posting this now
Sat Oct 6 2018 10:37 PM
Magnitude: 5.2
Depth: 3 km
30 km north of Milford Sound
this one is a little larger than any for a long time which has people a little nervous
there have been a few smaller ones around 3 which people would have felt if in bed and would add to peoples anxiety.
i think the time is a little too long between the quakes and the 1st one is a little too small . regular small quakes are common in this area.
FINGERS crossed
though if closer together within say 12 to 15 hours i would expect something like a 6.2 to 6.5 along the fault line or adjacent fault line given the lots of very deep very big movement in the pacific islands region and NZ being on lots of fault lines small regular quakes are normal. if anything this may signafy some smaller coming quakes around the upper 4's maybe even low 5's
NOTE moments before it may just be random however...
on the same diagonal line(roughly 25 to 30 degrees moving bottom right to top left, i am not sure of the correct orientation on an equtorial line )
Just above the 5.8 magnitude which was the strongest I ever personally encountered; though of course it was watered down by distance from the epicenter. Jarred the building for a whole minute in a way that reminded me of an old washing machine in spin-cycle rattling the insides of a bygone-model mobile home that wasn't anchored very well to the ground. The latter familiar experience from childhood (at a friend's residence) in turn kind of took the sting out worrying that the "more recent" edifice was going to fly apart anymore than that mobile home routinely did when a particular appliance dived into its wringing act.
