Inital reports of 6.6, downgraded to 6.4. The quake happened around Midnight, CST(06:10 UTC). The trend here is, that for the first week of February, there have been four 6.0 magnitude earthquakes or larger, and one each day the last three days. There have been fifteen earthquakes magnitude 5.0 to 5.9.
Most of these quakes were within the "Ring of Fire," which is prepetually active, and the only aspect of note to those quakes is the escalated intensity of 6.0 quakes. The two areas outside the "Ring" to monitor is Yellowstone, which experienced a pretty intense "Earthquake swarm" last week, and this one, near Cumbre Vieja. And Cumbre Vieja is one area that, hopefully, will remain still for a loooonng time, lest this happens..
