Pacific Seismicity Wraps the Week: Mindanao M7.8 + Cuba M6.1

A magnitude 7.8 earthquake off Mindanao triggered Pacific-wide tsunami advisories (all subsequently cancelled — threat passed) and an aftershock cluster of 24+ events from M5.0 to M7.7. Twelve hours later, an unrelated M6.1 struck off western Cuba and was felt across Florida. Plus 84 active wildfires across Russia, Canada, Australia and the U.S. plains; floods in northern South America; and a distinct FORECAST layer of upcoming heat-wave warnings.
