Quakes were generally quiet in the Pacific..just try telling that to someone in Kaikoura.
Sabancaya has been steadily building for several days and another good forecast success.
Pacific quakes may pick up again from 20 November as a possible switch from volcanoes to quakes takes place.
Pacific quakes may not be posted next few days....the Kaikoura quakes have swamped the resources of this Service.
