Tsunami NOT expected for the US West Coast, British Columbia, or Alaska...
Watching it roll across our network on the @earthquakes.au YouTube live stream
20 minutes ago, very deep (600 km) Mw7.1 earthquake below Sabah, Malaysia.
Deep enough to be harmless, I suppose, but (due to the depth) were felt at great distances
This type of events are relatively common more to the east, at Celebes Sea, not here...

Signal on seismic station AU.FITZ from a Malaysian earthquake February 22, 2026. Magnitude 7.1 #earthquake just over an hour ago off the coast of #Malaysia (2026-02-22Z16:57) The good news is that it is deep (over 600 km) which greatly reduces the harm it can cause.

Wow - 7.1 in the mantle transition zone under Sabah. We were discussing the various possible mechanisms for the 5 M5+ events over the past few years in a similar location only this week!

Experienced an earthquake a few minutes ago. Aftershocks are still coming, some strong and some are alright but felt.
Apparently the epicenter is around mag. 7 and our region is feeling around mag. 5 π₯²

It so was hard to imagine having successful career in science as a disabled PhD student that eventually I just left.
Who could have guessed that years later I would help create a magazine issue dedicated to highlighting Trailblazing disabled chemists!

A magnitude 6 earthquake struck northeastern Afghanistan just before midnight on August 31st. Vulnerable homes built of mud, brick, stone, and wood collapsed; the reported death toll has exceeded 800 people.
Why do earthquakes occur here, what happened in this one, and why was it so deadly?
