6.0 then a 4.9 then a 4.5 then a 4.8 then a 6.4
the 6.0 then going to a larger one 6.4 is what concerns me.
suggesting potential of a combined magnitude equal to roughly a 8.5 somewhere if the 2 combined 6.0 & 6.4 are released at the same time somewhere else.
fingers crossed
because there is lots of movement around this area it means it is a lot less likely to be released in 1 single event
direction of force would be running along the plate boundary through new Caledonia & Vanuatu toward the Solomon islands
with soo many energy distribution points on the plate i would guess it dissipate unnoticed
following some recent larger quakes on the pacific plate
there is now some movement in Philippines. it looks ok given the sizen and magnitude, however i do wonder if something bigger is due around there.
