U.S. Geological Survey put the quake's preliminary magnitude at 7.5 and said its epicenter was 2 kilometers southeast of Pinotepa in Oaxaca state.

The magnitude of this earthquake seems quite significant and worthy of a post. Plus, it has occurred during the yearly event Anarchapulco hosted by Jeff Berwick in Acapulco, Mexico. According to their website the event is going on from February 15th to the 18th. Let's hope the local population and the anarchists/crypto enthutisiasts that are there as guests are all OK.

It's very sad to see those type of events happen. There's already more than 200 casualties. So much more could be done to minimize the damage earthquake causes sadly our world is all about war and world dominion.

I watch the USGS everyday for more than 15 years now. I also keep track of a lot of study publish on the subject. Here's an interesting one that got out not long ago.

I've shared quite a couple interesting facts about earthquakes most people don't realize.

This may be coming in a bit late, but check out http://www.suspicious0bservers.org/. He's been around for a few years and has a pretty good track record linking sunspot and earthquake activity. Gets mind blowing if you follow him daily for awhile.

I've been watching him daily for years now.

Me too. He's quite the genius and a workaholic. Never misses a day.

Hmmm! HAARP?

I was thinking the same thing when I first heard about it ... That's always a possibility.

It's unfortunate to see this happen when the Anarchaupulco is on going, this will put not just the guest in danger but also the populaces of the place.

I pray both the populace and guest remain safe even in this disaster time.

This is really massive. I have never read about a 7.5 magnitude earthquake before. The highest I've seen is 7. I do pray the Anarchapulco crew are alive and well.

I am at this conference. The room shook. It didn't feel that strong. The earthquake happened when Jim Bell was speaking. I was more concerned about a tsunami. But all good. Hardly disrupted the conference.

Thank you for the inside scoop! I was curious to know how this impacted the Anarchapulco attendees.

The one in Mexico ladt year was 8.2

Wow...never knew that. Thanks for the information

An earthquake is the shaking of the surface of the Earth, resulting from the sudden release of energy in the Earth's lithosphere that creates seismic waves.
Wish you avery happy and bright future.

We hope it does not happen in large population disaster, when the earthquake occurred?
are there any photos of the damage and so forth?
Thanks for this info @fulltimegeek

People must learn to stay away from danger. This is very important. And thanks for updating the community in time on this.

@eurogee

I also hope everyone's okay, will catch up with news later. This is the first time we've heard of Anarchapulco, would so love to attend or at least get some info about what is discussed.

I wonder what they are saying at that event ?

Wow!! I sure hope they're all okay! Significant indeed...
