What's up
For some reason few editors choose to review earthquake GANs. So I have 6 unreviewed nominations since August. I've delayed past preparations simply because I keep nominating but nobody reviews them.
Right now
- FAC: 1920 Xalapa earthquake
- GAN: 2020 Sparta earthquake, 1957 Alborz earthquake, 1957 Farsinaj earthquake, 1958 Firuzabad earthquake, 1987 Superstition Hills earthquakes, 2007 Nevelsk earthquake
Later
- Preparing for FAC: 1930 Bago earthquake, But Daddy I Love Him
- Preparing for GAN: 2012 El Salvador earthquake, 1987 Whittier Narrows earthquake, 1982 North Yemen earthquake, 2013 Balochistan earthquakes, 1979 Saint Elias earthquake
Random Wikipedia:EARTHQUAKE article ( )

The 1995 Gulf of Aqaba earthquake (also known as Nuweiba earthquake) occurred on November 22 at 06:15 local time (04:15 UTC) and registered 7.3 on the Mw scale. The epicenter was located in the central segment of the Gulf of Aqaba, the narrow body of water that separates Egypt's Sinai Peninsula from the western border of Saudi Arabia. At least 8 people were killed and 30 were injured in the meizoseismal area.
The earthquake occurred along the Dead Sea Transform (DST) fault system, an active tectonic plate boundary with seismicity that is characterized by long-running quiescent periods with occasional large and damaging earthquakes, along with intermittent earthquake swarms. It was the strongest tectonic event in the area for many decades and caused injuries, damage, and deaths throughout the Levant and is also thought to have remotely triggered a series of small to moderate earthquakes 500 kilometers (310 mi) to the north of the epicenter. In the aftermath of the quake, several field investigations set out to determine the extent of any surface faulting, and the distribution of aftershocks was analyzed. (Full article...)
