Another major quake: The mag 6.8 in Vanuatu comes on the back of Cyclone Donna

USGS
It’s raining major quakes folks the third in 24 hours and it’s a big one, a magnitude 6.8 north east of Port Olry, Vanuatu.

And once again as we have seen so often the quake came on the back end of the category 3 tropical cyclone Donna.
Another big Coronal hole is emerging on the Sun’s south eastern limb, so we could be in for more in the coming days.

The mag 6.8 in Vanuatu is the 5th major quake of May and is the 29th of a so far record breaking incredible low count for 2017
