Myanmar Shakes to 6.6 magnitude earthquake Sunday

YANGON, Myanmar (AP) — A strong earthquake struck northern Myanmar on Sunday, causing residents to flee their homes, but no injuries or major damage were immediately reported.

The magnitude-6.6 temblor hit the area at 7:42 a.m., according to the U.S. Geological Survey. The quake had a depth of just 10 kilometers (6 miles) and hit 117 kilometers (72 miles) north of Mandalay, Myanmar's second-largest city.

Four residents of Mandalay, contacted by phone, said the quake was strong enough to send people dashing out of their homes for safety, as water splashed out of jars. They said they saw no major structural damage in their immediate neighborhoods, but added that it did cause cracks in some walls.

The epicenter of the quake is a region frequently hit by small temblors that usually cause little damage.
The quake was felt in Bangkok, the capital of neighboring Thailand. It comes just a week ahead of a scheduled visit to Myanmar by President Barack Obama. He will be the first U.S. president to visit the one-time pariah nation, which is emerging from decades of military rule.

6.5-magnitude quake rocks Guatemala's coast, second in last four days

Just days after a 7.5 Magnitude Earthquake hit Guatemala, they were again hit by a 6.5 Sunday afternoon. The two combined have misplaced thousands, who are now without a home to return to when the dust settles.

Folks all over the country ran out of their businesses and homes in a frenzy. For the many cities along Guatemala's coast near the border of Mexico on Sunday, the people were in a state of terror. Luckily there weren't any reports of deaths or any major damage. The locals panicked, due to four aftershocks with magnitudes ranging from 4.5 to 5.0.

How often does this occur? I am going to head to Denver, Colorado, and watch Los Angeles get wiped of the map like dust being brushed off the shoulder. I think the recent Ecological Disasters are warning signs, of what is about to occur, on or around Dec. 21st 2012. Maybe I am over analyzing the situation. I don't take earthquakes lightly when they are along the Pacific plate.

CA is way overdue for the BIG ONE , and soon enough we will know our fate!

Strong quake off Guatemala kills 39, felt in Mexico City

Residents begin clearing rubble from a damaged building after a magnitude 7.4 earthquake struck in San Marcos, Guatemala, Wednesday, Nov. 7, 2012.

GUATEMALA CITY (Reuters) - A strong earthquake off the coast of Guatemala shook buildings in the capital and killed at least 39 people on Wednesday, trapping others under rubble and triggering evacuations as far away as Mexico City.

The 7.4 magnitude quake hit at 10:35 a.m. local time (11:35 EDT). A local fire chief said at least some of the dead were buried under debris in a mountainous region near the Mexican border.

Landslides blocked roads in some areas, authorities said, and about 40 houses were severely damaged.

It was the strongest earthquake to hit Guatemala since a 7.5 magnitude quake in 1976 that claimed more than 20,000 lives.

President Otto Perez said that as many as 100 people were unaccounted for, based on reports from relatives.

"These are preliminary figures and we don't have them confirmed," Perez said in Guatemala City. "Our priority is to focus on lives, rescuing people and treating the wounded."

San Marcos state governor Luis Rivera confirmed the deaths of 39 people, adding that the state government offices were almost completely destroyed.
