Hey tech-savvy fam! On Saturday, a 7.3-magnitude quake shook near the east coast of Russia’s Kamchatka region, reports the China Earthquake Networks Center (CENC). A 7.3 on the scale is major—think of your phone’s vibration on max 🔊. Magnitudes measure quake energy; each whole number is 10× more powerful than the last.
Though Kamchatka’s coastline is pretty remote, quakes this size can still send tremors across long distances. If you’re in South Asia or Southeast Asia—from Nepal’s hills to Indonesia’s islands—feeling a rumble is a reminder to drop, cover, and hold on like in those office or uni drills.
Quick tip: make sure your emergency kit is stocked, and your quake alert app is set to notify you ASAP. Share this post to keep your squad in the loop. Stay safe out there! 🙏
