5.3R in Tonga

A 5.3R in Tonga was reported this afternoon at the epicenter location shown in the map above. This was 10km at depth, so no near any worries. It is more important to us as we carry on our research where when we look at the calendar we create for the region we see it is expected on 24th so this is just a little a day early.

The map below we show todays however is the stress points in Tonga and we see our point is at the coordinates of [21S, 174W] while the epicenter is at coordinates [20.1S, 173.54W ], very good prediction.
