A 6.2 magnitude earthquake has struck off the Samoa Islands, Geoscience Australia and the US Geological Survey (USGS) reported, adding that the epicenter of the quake is about 200km from Apia, the capital and largest city of the island country. Apia has about 37,000 residents.
The earthquake depth is 29.8 km, the USGS said. The European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) put the depth of the earthquake at 2km. There have not been any reports of injuries or damage, and no tsunami warning has been issued. The part of the South Pacific Ocean where Tonga and Samoa are located is considered to be one of the most seismically active areas of the world due to high rates of convergence between the Australia and Pacific plates, the USGS said.
Another earthquake in this area, another quake in the world: a sign something big that will happen in the next future, or cabalistic information about planet suffering? For sure planet is suffering by humanity behavior, and for sure it is not a cabalistic advice, but we have to consider in which status Earth is now, due to our performances in the history.
