My wife has been following recent earthquake activity since the initial Mexico quake a month or so ago and she says that the number and intensity of quakes around the world has dramatically risen since.
Is this just hype? It seems like every day she's telling me about a new 6/7 mag quake somewhere in the world.
I don't think it's hype, it seems to be real. Your wife is on to something here. I'll post a few articles here describing the increased frequency of earthquake activity. These are just 8 such articles published within a 2-3 week period.

Quote:Seismic Shocker: The Number Of Global Earthquakes Over The Last 30 Days Is More Than 50% Above Normal
August 23, 2018 by Michael Snyder
[...]
If you go to Earthquake Track, you will find the latest data on all earthquakes that have happened all over the planet.
According to their numbers, there have been 82,845 earthquakes of magnitude 1.5 or greater over the last 365 days. That is an enormous number of earthquakes, but most of them are so small that they can’t really be felt.
When you divide 82,845 earthquakes by 365 days, you get an average of about 227 earthquakes per day over the past year.
And when you multiply 227 earthquakes by 30 days, you get an average of 6,810 earthquakes per 30 days over the last 12 months.
But there have been a whole lot more than 6,810 earthquakes over the last 30 days. In fact, Earthquake Track tells us that there have been 10,901 earthquakes over the last 30 days.
That means that the number of earthquakes over the last 30 days is more than 50 percent above normal, and that is big news. Unfortunately, the mainstream media in the United States is almost entirely ignoring this story because they are preoccupied with other things at the moment.
Most of the earthquakes over the last 30 days have happened along the Ring of Fire, and a British news source tells us that over 90 percent of all quakes tend to happen along this seismic zone which roughly encircles the Pacific Ocean…
[...]
This is yet another story that the mainstream news is “too busy” to talk about.
Our planet is undergoing dramatic changes, and this is something that I have been writing about for a long time, but now those changes appear to be greatly accelerating. Earthquake swarms come and go, but for the total number of global earthquakes in a 30 day period to be more than 50 percent above normal is definitely unusual.
Hopefully all of this seismic activity will settle down in September, but what if it doesn’t?
What if our planet continues to become even more unstable and unprecedented seismic events begin devastating major cities all over the globe?
As I have previously warned, a dramatic rise in planetary instability could have very serious implications for the future of our society. We are already teetering on the precipice of global systemic collapse, and it definitely wouldn’t take too much to push us over the edge.

Quote:8.2-magnitude earthquake strikes in South Pacific off Fiji
By Jennifer Deaton and Ralph Ellis, CNN [aka. the good old "Fake News Network"]
Updated 0213 GMT (1013 HKT) August 19, 2018
(CNN) — A massive 8.2 magnitude earthquake struck in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, roughly 200 miles off Fiji and almost the same distance from Tonga, according to the preliminary report from the US Geological Survey.
The earthquake struck just after midday Sunday and was almost 560 kilometers deep, the USGS said.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said based on the data available, a destructive Pacific-wide tsunami was not expected, and there was no threat to Hawaii.
There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries.

Quote:Watch Out California! 53 Major Earthquakes (Including A Magnitude 8.2) Just Hit The Ring Of Fire In A 24 Hour Period
Is something unusual starting to happen to the crust of our planet? The USGS defines any earthquake of at least magnitude 4.5 as “significant”, and there were 53 earthquakes that met that criteria along the Ring of Fire on Sunday alone. If you would like to verify that information for yourself, you can so do right here. Not too long ago, I wrote about how “Earth changes” seem to be accelerating all over the world, but even I was stunned by the ferocity of the seismic activity that we witnessed over the weekend. Because none of the earthquakes happened in the United States, the mainstream media almost entirely ignored this story, but that is a huge mistake. The entire west coast of the U.S. falls along the “Ring of Fire”, and experts assure us that it is only a matter of time before the seismic tension that is building up along the tectonic plates in that area is released.
Much of the seismic activity on Sunday was near the small island nation of Fiji, and it is true that Fiji often experiences earthquakes because it sits directly inside the Ring of Fire…
Quote:Fiji falls in the Pacific Ring Of Fire – a massive horseshoe-shaped area in the Pacific basin.
The ring is formed of a string of 452 volcanoes and sites of seismic activity (earthquakes), which encircle the Pacific Ocean.
Roughly 90 percent of all earthquakes occur along the Ring of Fire, and 75 percent of the world’s active volcanoes are dotted along the expansive ring.
[...]
But until big earthquakes start happening here, many Americans simply will not pay any attention to all of this. What they need to understand is that this is truly a global phenomenon that we are witnessing, and shaking in one part of the globe can have tremendous implications for people literally living on the other side of the planet. In particular, those living along the west coast should be deeply alarmed that seismic activity along other areas of the Ring of Fire appears to be intensifying.
And I am definitely not the only one saying this. According to one British news source, scientists are warning that “increased seismic activity” along the Ring of Fire “may mean the so-called ‘Big One’ killer earthquake is on the way”…
Quote:Scientists warn increased seismic activity in the area may mean the so-called “Big One” killer earthquake is on the way.
If California was hit, experts warn tens of thousands could be killed.
Sadly, the truth is that we would be extremely fortunate to only have “tens of thousands” killed in the event of a historic earthquake on the west coast.
[...]
We live at a time when our planet is becoming increasingly unstable. In recent weeks we have witnessed earthquake swarms off of the Oregon coast, record-setting heatwaves, hail the size of softballs, and wildfires of unprecedented size and scope.
There are some experts out there that would like to assure all of us that what we are witnessing is completely normal.
But I think that not a lot of people are buying that explanation.
Because there has not been a major seismic event on the west coast for decades, many people have grown complacent. They simply assume that because nothing has happened in such a long time that nothing will happen for the foreseeable future.
Unfortunately, the experts assure us that the “Big One” is definitely coming to the west coast at some point, and all of this seismic activity may be an indication that it is coming sooner rather than later.

Quote:Over The Last 7 Days Our Planet Has Been Violently Shaken By 144 Major Earthquakes
August 21, 2018 by Michael Snyder
Within the past few days, we have seen an enormous magnitude 7.3 earthquake hit Venezuela and a giant magnitude 8.2 earthquake hit Fiji. Where will the next one strike? To many of us, it is becoming exceedingly clear that something very unusual is happening to our planet. I went and looked it up, and I was astounded to learn that the crust of the Earth has been shaken by 144 major earthquakes over the last 7 days, and that includes more than 50 on Sunday alone. And remember, these are not small earthquakes. The USGS considers any earthquake that is at least magnitude 4.5 to be “significant”, and they are happening so rapidly right now that it is difficult to keep up with them.
Usually, only earthquakes that cause death and destruction get attention from the mainstream media, and that was definitely the case with the huge quake that hit the northern coast of Venezuela on Tuesday…
Quote:A major earthquake of magnitude 7.3 struck the northern coast of Venezuela on Tuesday and shook buildings as far away as the capital, Caracas, the U.S. Geological Survey said.
The quake was centered near the town of Carupano, an area of poor fishing communities and was felt as far away as neighboring Colombia to the east and nearby island nations like Trinidad and Tobago, and St. Lucia, to the west and north.
This is certainly the last thing that the people of Venezuela need at the moment. Their currency was just devalued again, and at this point it is so worthless that people are literally throwing it into dumpsters.
According to media reports, the quake lasted for approximately two minutes, and it really shook people up. The following comes from Reuters…
Quote:“I feel like I’m about to faint. I’m shaking. It was long,” said telemarketing worker Sheny Fuentes, 22, speaking outside her work building in eastern Caracas. “I’m relieved that it doesn’t seem like damage was that bad. We would have been even more affected (given Venezuela’s economic crisis) – there are already people eating from the garbage and buildings aren’t well made,” she told Reuters.
[...]
But until major shaking starts happening in the continental United States, most Americans are not going to pay attention.
It simply is not “normal” for 144 major earthquakes to happen in just one week. In addition, dozens of volcanoes are currently erupting all over the globe. We appear to have entered a time when the crust of our planet is going to become increasingly unstable, and it doesn’t take a genius to figure out that this is going to have very serious implications for the future of our society.

Quote:Indonesia EARTHQUAKE: Bali smashed by another quake - area on alert
BALI, the popular tourist destination, has been struck by another earthquake with a magnitude of five on the Richter Scale leaving the Indonesia area on high alert.

The earthquake has left Indonesia on high alert (Image: USGS)
The earthquake struck at a depth of 10km at around 2:45pm local time.
The epicentre was 54km from the East Lombok Regency in West Nusa Tenggara.
Earlier this week Bali suffered a mass power cut leaving the island without any electricity shortly after it was hit by a series of earthquakes.
The last of a cluster of horrendous earthquakes struck Bali last week on August 31 and was the result of an aftershock that had rocked neighbouring Lombok moments before.
Lombok is located within the infamous Ring of Fire and just south of the island lies some of the fastest colliding tectonic plates in the world.
The Ring of Fire is where many earthquakes occur each year - about 90 percent of the world’s earthquakes and 81 percent of the world’s largest earthquakes occur.
Indonesia lies along the explosive Ring of Fire and was shaken by a huge 6.9 magnitude earthquake on August 5, which caused devastation on the islands of Bali and Lombok.
Almost all of the world’s most explosive and dangerous volcanoes are also located along the Ring of Fire, along with some of the longest and most deadly earthquake faults.
The earthquake struck between five and 15km north west of Utan in Indonesia.
With regards to travelling to Indonesia, the Foreign Office has said: “There has been a series of earthquakes and aftershocks to the north-east of the island of Lombok since 29 July 2018.
“These have resulted in casualties and damage to buildings and infrastructure, most severely in northern and western areas of Lombok, north of the capital Mataram, and in the Gili Islands, where there continues to be power outages and a lack of clean water.
“If you’re in these areas, you should exercise caution, stay away from collapsed buildings, liaise with your travel company/accommodation provider, and follow the advice of the local authorities.”

Quote:Yellowstone volcano EARTHQUAKE: 102 tremors STRIKE supervolcano park, USGS reveals
YELLOWSTONE volcano was rattled by more than 100 deep earthquakes in August, Yellowstone National Park officials revealed.
By Sebastian Kettley
PUBLISHED: 15:35, Thu, Sep 6, 2018 | UPDATED: 15:46, Thu, Sep 6, 2018
The Yellowstone Seismic Network, operated by the University of Utah, recorded 102 earthquakes within the national park’s borders.
The US Geological Survey’s (USGS) Yellowstone Volcano Observatory (YVO) revealed the number of quakes in its monthly park update, published this week.
The strongest of the tremors hit 2.5 magnitude on the Richter scale on the morning of August 7, 4.19am local time.
The USGS said the tremor was detected about 13 miles north-northwest of Pahaska Tepee, Wyoming.
A strong swarm of 13 earthquakes rocked the park between August 2 and August, about eight miles outside of West Yellowstone – a town in Southern Montana.
The most powerful quake in the swarm peaked at magnitude 2.2.
Another cluster of earthquakes went off on August 26, north of West Thumb, topping at 14 earthquakes.
A slightly smaller surge of 12 earthquakes happened about 14 miles south-southeast of Mammoth Hot Springs, Wyoming.
The earthquakes erupted between August 29 and August 30 and reached magnitude 2.4.
The USGS assured the high number of earthquakes was well within the average seismic activity at Yellowstone.
The agency said: “Earthquake sequences like these are common and account for roughly 50 percent of the total seismicity in the Yellowstone region.
“Yellowstone quake activity remains at background levels.”
Ground deformation levels at Yellowstone have also returned to 2015 levels with only minimal movement of the ground rising and dropping in places.
Quote:"Earthquake sequences like these are common"
- United States Geological Survey
After very little ground change in July, Yellowstone GPS stations recorded defamation trends in line with previous years.
Stations in the Yellowstone caldera are slowly dropping by a few centimetres each year and stations near the Norris Geyser are rising.
The USGS said in its update: “The lack of measurable surface motion in July was probably an aberration caused by seasonal changes, perhaps due to surface and subsurface water conditions.”
But not everyone who followed the update was convinced nothing is out of the ordinary at Yellowstone.
Twitter user Setholic, @Setholic, said: “The fact that they have to put out that everything is normal makes me think it’s not.”
Scores of conspiracy theorists fear the massive supervolcano complex is long-overdue a cataclysmic eruption.
Yellowstone volcano last erupted some 640,000 years ago but no-one really knows when it will pop again.
USGS geologists are positive any future eruption will not happen within our lifetime.
The agency said: “Future volcanic eruptions could occur within or near Yellowstone National Park for the simple reason that the area has a long volcanic history and because there is hot and molten rock, or magma, beneath the caldera now.
“Yellowstone is monitored for signs of volcanic activity by YVO scientists who detect earthquakes using seismographs and ground motion using GPS.
“YVO has not detected signs of activity that suggest an eruption is imminent.”

A 5.2 magnitude earthquake hit Portugal this morning (Image: INSIMU)
The earthquake struck 157 km northwest of Leira, at around 5.12 am BST time this morning.
Seismic tremors sent holidaymakers into panic mode, with one tourist claiming the "whole hotel shook".
She said on Twitter: "Was that an earthquake in #Porto? Whole hotel shook!"
Residents reported massive vibrations which caused their homes to shake, following oncoming tremors which radiated throughout the region.
One resident in Coimbra said they felt the building sway for "about 20 seconds", after two oncoming "waves" of tremors shook the region.
The witness said: "It felt a gentle sway of the building, and the structure of the building was heard to be stretched, but without any noise or intense crackling.
"The first wave was very noticeable, but it was the second that was stronger, followed by soft replicas that lasted for about 20 seconds."
Another witness in Santa Maria da Feira, 181km from the epicentre of the earthquake, wrote: "I heard a loud noise, followed by a great shake and a shock after several seconds. My house is in stone and shaken whole. My bed kept shaking for several seconds.

Quote:Japan earthquake: Death toll rises after devastating tremor

Tokyo (CNN) — The death toll in the magnitude 6.7 earthquake that struck Japan on Thursday has risen to 39, the country's Fire and Disaster Management Agency said.
Two people remain missing, and at least 641 people were injured, the agency said Sunday. Evacuation centers are still holding 2,544 people.
The quake is the latest in a string of natural disasters that have hit Japan recently, including deadly floods, typhoons, earthquakes, landslides and heatwaves.

Photo taken Sept. 6, 2018, from a Kyodo News airplane shows the site of a landslide in Atsuma, Hokkaido, northern Japan, triggered by an earthquake with preliminary magnitude of 6.7.
The number of confirmed dead and injured in the quake on the northern island of Hokkaido has risen steadily from the nine reported Friday.
Lasting almost a minute, powerful tremors jolted people from their beds early Thursday, collapsing roads and causing landslides that buried homes and other buildings.
Near the epicenter, landslides wiped out houses in the tiny town of Atsuma, home to 40 residents.
Almost 3 million households lost power initially, the Hokkaido Electric Power Company said. Almost half had power restored Friday.
As many as 40,000 people, including 22,000 troops from the country's Self Defense Forces, have been involved in the rescue efforts.
Thursday's earthquake comes as much of Japan is still dealing with the effects of Typhoon Jebi, the strongest such storm to hit the Japanese mainland in 25 years.
High winds smashed a tanker into a bridge, forcing one of the country's largest airports to close and leaving at least 10 people dead.
On Japan's main island of Honshu, nine cities and towns issued compulsory evacuation orders. A further 53 issued non-compulsory evacuation orders.
Before it made landfall, the storm had sustained winds of 140 kilometers per hour (87 mph) and gusts of 165 kilometers per hour (102 mph), the equivalent of a Category 1 Atlantic hurricane.
It's a sign for sure, but I don't think that man-made activity can cause these increases in earthquake activity. I've never heard of a man-made 9+ magnitude earthquake, ______ _____'_ _ ____ __________ ____ _______ __ __ ___________ ________. If there are articles demonstrating that increased earthquake activity comes from man made activities, I'm more than willing to read the articles.
Watch out for a possible 10-12 magnitude earthquake as that would be a regional disruptor. A 13-15 magnitude earthquake would be something out of science fiction. If that ever happened, it could either cause damages on a global scale or become a complete planetary cleansing.

Quote:Magnitude 10 tremor could happen: study
Kyodo
Dec 15, 2012
It is theoretically possible that the world could see a quake with a magnitude of around 10, a researcher at Tohoku University told the government’s Coordinating Committee for Earthquake Prediction, Japan.
The energy of such an earthquake would be 30 times greater than the magnitude 9.0 quake that hit the northeast on March 11, 2011.
“The estimate does not mean that a magnitude 10 quake will inevitably happen,” said Toru Matsuzawa, a professor at the university’s Research Center for Prediction of Earthquakes and Volcanic Eruptions. “If it happens, it would take place around once every 10,000 years.”
A magnitude 10.0 quake could occur if the combined 3,000 km of faults from the Japan Trench to the Kuril-Kamchatka Trench move by 60 meters, Matsuzawa said.
No magnitude 10 earthquake has ever been observed. The most powerful quake ever recorded was a magnitude 9.5 temblor in Chile in 1960.
A magnitude 10 quake would likely cause ground motions for up to an hour, with tsunami hitting while the shaking was still going on, according to the research. Tsunami would continue for several days, causing damage to several Pacific Rim nations.
There should be a few articles around about the increased typhoon/hurricane/cyclone activity since they share some similarities with the increased earthquake activity. They seem to correlate with each other.
