Strong earthquake at Nabro Volcano, Eritrea
Those among you who know this site already since the beginning, do know that Earthquake-Report.com was the first in the world (75% with the help of his readers) to detect the eruption of a historically silent Nabro volcano. This volcano , which was silent again since many months, now showed his adrenaline with a powerful M4.8 earthquake. We have written a small update in our original article. Click here to read it.
The orange color has to be considered as a Volcano related danger

Moderate but deep earthquake out of the Mindanoa, Philippines coast
Due to the depth of +100 km this earthquake will have been felt as a very weak shaking, nothing unusual in this part of the world.

Moderately earthquake in Iran
Iran is, due to the kind of earthquakes (mostly very shallow and transform type), very vulnerable for damage starting at a Magnitude of 5. Luckily we could not find any related damage for this earthquake.

Light to moderate earthquake near Mexicali-Calexico.
-A 4.6M earthquake at a shallow depth of 9km (downgraded from 4.9 at a depth of 7km) hit 50km from Mexicali, Baja California and 54km from Calexico, California. A 3.6M aftershock was followed. The magnitude and the depth would made it very well felt to the people near this area and possible making light damage and would also made a max. felt intensity of III on the mercalli scale (weak shaking) to people kilometers away.

    seismograph - recordingUseful information to read this daily earthquake list
    This earthquake list covers important earthquakes in the world.
    If a more detailed page is present, the earthquake line will be linked to the detailed page.
    For your comfort, we will provide in most cases a Google Satellite Map to give you an idea where the earthquake struck, which terrain it happened and if villages or cities are located in the immediate vicinity. The multi-source approach has been setup to compare values as seismology is not an exact science and needs a lot of calculations. The reference for the time zone is UTC (Coordinated Universal Time, also called GMT). Color explanation if we add some details above the list :
    green color = NOT dangerous for damage or injuries
    orange color = MODERATE risk for damage or injuries
    red color = CONSIDERABLE risk for damage or injuries

    QuakeSOS+ and QuakeSOS free are iPhone applications developed by Armand Vervaeck, the founder of Earthquake Report. The Application simplifies immediate group communication to friends and family members (with your exact GPS location) and is feeding the users with Earthquake Report news. The 0.99 US$ QuakeSOS+ version will support the activities of SOS Earthquakes.

Some pre-1965 infill masonry panels damaged. A few post-1980 brick veneers damaged. Decayed timber piles of houses damaged. Houses not secured to foundations may move. Most unreinforced domestic chimneys damaged, some below roof-line, many brought down. Environment : Cracks appear on steep slopes and in wet ground. Small to moderate slides in roadside cuttings and unsupported excavations. Small water and sand ejections and localized lateral spreading adjacent to streams, canals, lakes, etc.
    MMI IX (Violent shaking) ?
    Structures Many low standard buildings destroyed. Ordinary workmanship buildings heavily damaged, some collapse. Reinforced masonry or concrete buildings damaged, some with partial collapse. Buildings and bridges designed and built to resist earthquakes damaged in some cases, some with flexible frames seriously damaged. Damage or permanent distortion to some buildings and bridges, designed and built to normal use standards. Houses not secured to foundations shifted off. Brick veneers fall and expose frames.
