Big Bay Quake. 9 June 2019

Confusion over the true size of last nights Big Bay quake.
United States Geological Survey and European Mediterranean Seismological Center have the quake at Mag 4.9 and Geonet Mag 5.5.
Unforecasted spaceweather has driven the action and more spaceweather is possible from 10 June.
Hopefully the Big Bay quake isn't a precursor for bigger action during the upcoming forecast period.
