This report discusses a recent increase in global seismic activity, highlighted by a significant magnitude 6.2–6.3 earthquake in the Philippines. The presenter suggests a correlation between these geological events and an ongoing geomagnetic storm caused by a coronal hole. Additionally, unusual seismic activity is noted in the U.S. West Coast and an unexpected shallow quake in Ohio.

Ladies and gentlemen,
we seem to have a slight uptick in earthquake activity.
We've had a 6.2 magnitude earthquake in the Philippines.
It came in only as a 3 on the DYFI,
which means there's no populace in the area.
A 4 on the shake map, it was at 117.8 kilometers of depth.
That was directly on a plate tectonic boundary,
and it's surrounded by volcanoes,
but not directly under one of the volcanoes
that's actually going off currently.
Now we have been experiencing a geomagnetic storm
which charges these plates.
It's been from the large coronal hole
that's been earth-facing on our solar disk,
and I would contribute this earthquake to that geomagnetic storm.
Now, today we have earthquakes all around the Cascades.
It's like we have earthquakes within Yellowstone itself,
and we have an earthquake that seems out of place to me.
In Pleasant City, Ohio,
not close enough to one of the Great Lakes to be one of the salt
plays, but definitely in an area that I have not seen a quake before.
I don't know of any drilling in this area,
although there perhaps is the Marcellus Shale
that runs up into that area.
It is at five kilometers, very shallow earthquake.
Again, a magnitude of 3.1 in Pleasant City, Ohio.
Getting some more details about
the 6.2 earthquake over in the Philippines,
we're jumping over to volcanoesandearthquakes.com.
Let's see the quake here, 6.3.
So we have a different reading here.
6.3, the main source is Indonesia.
I thought it was a little bit larger.
We have the Germans coming in at 6.2,
the Europeans coming in at 6.2 as well.
So this is in fact on a plate tectonic boundary,
you can see in red here,
but really not under any of the volcanoes that are
currently active.
So this might mean we have a volcano or volcanoes in that area.
It may be awakening, or this just might be magma movement
or plate movement based on our geomagnetic storm, as we discussed.
Jumping over to VolcanoDiscovery.com,
we have a very strong magnitude 6.3 earthquake.
Take a look at some earthquake details.
Looks like Indonesia is going to be our main reporting agency,
and they're coming in at a 6.3 magnitude as well.
I guess we're going to have to follow their lead.
This also released 2.7 atomic bombs worth of energy
when it went off.
So nothing to joke around with.
There was no tsunami warning.
I did check the tsunami maps and no tsunami was generated in the area.
Comparing some earthquake data
from the different reporting agencies we have.
Of course, the Indonesian government coming in at 6.3, 123 kilometers.
Germans, 6.2, 128 kilometers.
So we have a good sense of the depth here.
The Europeans came in at 6.2, 129 kilometers.
Raspberry Shake, BurgerCall, the USGS, which I haven't seen yet.
Come in at 6.2, 120 kilometers.
The French, 6.08.
That's as close to them actually agreeing
with the other agencies as I've ever seen.
They've got 131 kilometers of depth.
We've got the Italians coming in at 6.4, 121 kilometers of depth.
And the USGS coming in at 6.2, 118 kilometers worth of depth.
And the Incorporated Research Institute for Seismology at 6.2,
following 118 kilometers of depth.
And the Australians came in at a 6.21,
also 118 kilometers of depth.
And finally, the Philippines.
Government came in at also a 6.3 with Indonesia,
and they have it at 122 kilometers of depth.
We're going to have to go with a 6.3 here
because the two closest reporting agencies
who would have the most information,
that would be the Philippines and Indonesia, are
both coming in at a 6.3.
With that said, we have had a bunch
of earthquakes on the United States West Coast.
We will probably be going over those live tonight.
I hope you all join us.
We also have that very strange quake over
in Pleasant City, Ohio.
But currently, the main talk of the day is the 6-2 or 6-3 magnitude.
Earthquake that popped off in the Philippines.
Now, I would be looking for additional earthquakes in the coming hours
and over the next 48 hours.
But we will continue to see effects from the geomagnetic storm.
I would expect additional large earthquakes.
God bless.
