6.6 magnitude quake hits off Solomon Islands

Several larger earthquakes around the world this weekend.

Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places, and famines. These are the beginning of birth pains. Mark 13:8 NIV

From the articles:
A strong 6.6-magnitude earthquake hit off the Solomon Islands on Monday, the US Geological Survey (USGS) said, but no destructive Pacific-wide tsunami was expected. The USGS said the quake occurred at 0009 GMT, about 133 kilometres (83 miles) southeast of the Pacific nation's capital Honiara, at an estimated depth of about 30 kilometres (19 miles).

A magnitude-6.2 earthquake on Sunday shook a northern region of Chile that has felt several frightening but inconsequential tremors in recent days. No injuries and only minor damage were reported. The quake was centred in Putre, about 40 miles (60 kilometres) east of the port of Arica near the border with Peru, and nearly 1,400 miles (2,200 kilometres) north of the capital, Santiago, the U.S. Geological Survey said.

Officials say a 5.7 magnitude earthquake has rocked the southern Philippines, collapsing the walls of some houses and sending residents fleeing from their homes. There are no reports of injuries. The government's seismology institute said Friday that the moderately strong earthquake struck offshore, 33 miles (54 kilometers) east of Surigao City.
