At first, there was not very much going on, but there has been a major earthquake in the world today. A magnitude 7.3 earthquake struck the Kepulauan Barat Daya region in Indonesia, some 113 km northeast of Lospalos, Municipio de Lautem, Timor-Leste. It struck at 3:25 a.m. local time at an immediate and considerable depth of 200 km according to the EMSC. That has since been downgraded to a depth of 167 km by the USGS. No tsunami warning was issued for the surrounding islands. This earthquake was felt 600 km away in Darwin, Australia. Around 1,700 of its residents reported feeling tremors early on Thursday, according to Geoscience. The quake was not expected to cause any significant damage due to its focal depth and proximity to higher populations. There may still be more significant activity going on in the world anytime now this week. There has been some more activity in/near Japan and some more seismic activity has occurred across parts of the United States including the Eastern side.
