Montana and The Philippines - Shaking!!

A 5.8 quake rocked the mountains of the state named for mountains, Montana, about 12:30 local time today. A slow build up for the 30 second quake apparently limited damage and no injuries have been reported.  That was not the case in the Philippines where at least one death resulted from the 6.5 quake in the central part of the archipelago.  No tsunami warning remains from that quake.
Both north and south of that quake along the Ring of Fire several quakes in the upper 4 and 5 range have shaken things up today - but live on a subduction zone and you will have quakes.  Across the Pacific in Guatemala, a 5.1 quake shook up the eastern side of the plate.
And, of course, the human caused quakes in Oklahoma continue; but, hey, gas is under $2.00 so who cares! Likely only the folks in central OK. And, their voice is not being heard.
Don't worry, when your quake happens you'll be the first to know, today on Earth.
