5.5-magnitude earthquake jolts Assam, India | Recent Natural Disasters | Emergencies | Hazards | Calamities

M 5.5 moderate earthquake jolts Karbi Anglong region of Assam Wednesday morning, the Indian meteorological department said.

According to the Indian meteorological department, the quake's epicenter was located 22 km WNW of Barpathar. It was 43.0 miles deep.

Following the U.S. Geological Survey Pager Map, light shaking of MMI IV will have felt by the people of Barpathar, Bokakhat, Golaghat, Silapathar, Sarupathar and Numaligarh. People of Itanagar, Kohima, Imphal, Shillong and Sylhet will have felt weak shaking of MMI III.

Tremor was felt in Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya and Assam regions of India including some parts of Bangladesh.

No damage or injuries have been reported.

The 1950 Assam - Tibet earthquake, also known as the Assam earthquake or Medog earthquake killed 1,526 people. It was the 9th largest earthquake of the 20th century.

I am still finding my feet here after what, only 10 years...
However...

A 5.5 M quake is nothing, even in a country as notoriously ill prepared for anything that requires its government be a lot less corrupt than it's buildings should collapse in a mag 5.

I wonder why it was entered there.

We are passing through a spell that includes a Cat 5 typhoon and they were so strapped for news they had to print that?

 

To be or not to be, how is the question.

My present blog is Opera. They are going to stop the service 5 months from now. I tried migrating to WordPress but am unhappy with the format. Maybe I should give it time to get used to but I was hopelessly upset by the way it handles images.

Opera was brilliant for uploading charts. You could send any amunt of them in all at once with their kit. I couldn't get my head around whatever Word Press was doing. So now I am here.

If I have to upload images one at a time, I won't be staying.
I am toying with the idea of setting up a complete book to cover a months worth of chart data and sell that online if I can. That would be a possible income from every month.

That is; if I compose a book from all the geo-phenomena that occurs in a month, I will have something interesting to publish and perhaps ask a fiver for every month. If that works out, I should be an happy chappy. I can't see how it could be more work than writing a blog -which should be updated daily.

I must admit I am somewhat lax in the writing but if I was getting paid for it, it would be a different proposition.
A PAYING proposition.

I think a month's worth of charts has to be worth a fiver, even without the commentary I would supply. The trouble is that the charts are not my property. I know the Met Office would kick up a stink about the copyrights but I should be able to bypass them by using charts from the USA.

Oddly, for the land of grasping and greed, their meteorological agencies have a surprising and refreshing socialist view of these things. Here's health to all, god bless us; please.
