According to the USGS, more than 2.3 million people may have been exposed to very strong or severe shaking, and another 14 million may have experienced moderate to strong shaking.

⚒️ 🧪 A M6.9 earthquake struck Cebu island in the Philippines today, causing at least 20 deaths. The rupture seems to have occurred on an unmapped fault, started below the ocean and continuing to the southwest, passing near populated areas of Cebu. Read more:

Just found out about the discontinuation of the stratospheric temperature and height products from the NOAA POES satellites. I did not think to link these to recent political changes to US satellite operations. I am deeply dismayed by this. Our understanding of the stratosphere is now hamstrung.

This. 8.8 to 8.9 is a big difference, 8.9 to 9.1 big again, 8.9 to 9.1 is an enormous energy difference. Magnitude 9 earthquakes are truly colossal events.

I also derived a new elevation model from the aerial images, allowing me to visualize the elevation change in the affected areas. The rocks and debris in the valley are locally up to 32m thick and I estimate the total displaced volume is about 11 million cubic meters.

rupture in one interferogram! This is three consecutive wide swath frames of ALOS-2 data, provided by JAXA through agreement with NASA. The line-of-sight (LOS) is ~perpendicular to fault strike, so most of what you see is vertical motion at bends and steps of the fault.

The new satellite imagery to the right of the surface rupture is perfectly aligned with the historical Google imagery. On the left, you can see the rupture and offset.

“The eruption fissure that opened shortly before 10am is now 700 m long and has not grown for about an hour. The 2nd fissure, which opened just inside the barriers shortly before 11am, is considerably smaller but appears to be trying to extend S towards Grindavík.“ 🧪⚒️

USGS updated PAGER estimate. It's frightening. Zone of extreme damage is now shown elongated along Sagaing fault for >500km. 70% probability of fatalities > 10000 (~35% >100000). ⚒️ 🧪 These are probabilities, hopefully overestimated. In any case it's a massive disaster. Thoughts for the victims 💔

And already, there are horrifying videos emerging of building collapses. There is going to be a very urgent need for medical professionals in Myanmar, but its international isolation is going to be a massive issue.

This could be devastating. This is strike-slip mechanism on a plate boundary, much like the 1906 quake on the San Andreas. The rupture length is at least 300km. The capital, Yangon, is near the fault, but I can’t yet see if the fault ruptured towards Yangon or away from it

⚒️🧪 Today's Icelandic Met Office update says that the likelihood of another eruption increases as more time passes, since magma is still accumulating below. There's also a neat detailed map of the eruption start points and fissures from all 7 Sundhnúksgígar eruptions so far.
