How long has it been since we last had an earthquake over 6.5?
Quoting: CuriousSeeker Last 30 days, these are the largest:
6.6 59km SSW of Topolobampo, Mexico
2015-09-13 08:14:12 UTC 10.0 km
6.4 191km SSE of L'Esperance Rock, New Zealand
2015-09-07 09:13:58 UTC 35.4 km
6.3 140km ENE of Bitung, Indonesia
2015-09-16 07:40:59 UTC 52.7 km
Very slow and nothing over that 6.6
You have to go back to July to see a 7+ and the largest for the year is only a 7.8 in April and May. Very quiet for the year thus far.
