Dr. Wendy Bohon @drwendyrocks.bsky.social · 10/10/2026They’re actually hands-on exhibits! For mine, you build structures and then cause an earthquake to see how the buildings do, and then make changes to improve the design. 140

Dr. Wendy Bohon @drwendyrocks.bsky.social · 09/10/2026There was a M7 in 1943, but that was offshore to the south and at least 100 km from today’s event. 120
Dr. Wendy Bohon @drwendyrocks.bsky.social · 09/10/2026For more information read our article in @theconversation.com from last month.  theconversation.com/are-earthqua...theconversation.comAre earthquakes becoming more common? Here’s what the numbers sayScientists have been able to catalogue the largest earthquakes for a very long time. 0273
Dr. Wendy Bohon @drwendyrocks.bsky.social · 09/10/2026This earthquake in Panama is the 12th earthquake of magnitude 7 or greater this year. Is this an unusual number of large quakes? No. This graph shows M7+ earthquakes over the last 30 years. This year is very average. 210329
Dr. Wendy Bohon @drwendyrocks.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Early information from USGS PAGER suggests that more than 30,000 people may have been exposed to severe shaking, and more than 1 million people may have experienced strong to very strong shaking. earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/... 04813
Dr. Wendy Bohon @drwendyrocks.bsky.social · 09/10/2026The earthquake that caused that disaster was a M9.1 1120
Dr. Wendy Bohon @drwendyrocks.bsky.social · 09/10/2026And the magnitude is M7.6 and the depth has been updated to ~10km 1533
Dr. Wendy Bohon @drwendyrocks.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Oh crap. M 8.0 earthquake 14 km SW of Pitaloza Arriba, Panama. 33 km deep. Exact location and magnitude may change as we get more data earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/... 1417462

Dr. Wendy Bohon @drwendyrocks.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Yes. Different places recommend different protective actions, often because of construction practices or building codes.  150

Dr. Wendy Bohon @drwendyrocks.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I know! I get choked up every time I see it. I’m so proud of them!! 120
Dr. Wendy Bohon @drwendyrocks.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Many people will be physically unable to keep their feet and can be injured by falling or, as you say, by being stepped on. Imagine if everyone just knelt down. Then everyone would be safe (from falling, trampling, etc). 140
Dr. Wendy Bohon @drwendyrocks.bsky.social · 04/10/2026That’s called the “Triangle of life” and it’s has been widely debunked as a safety action in the US (and most other places).

Dr. Wendy Bohon @drwendyrocks.bsky.social · 04/10/2026🚨 The recommended protective action for earthquakes varies around the world mainly due to building construction practices, building codes, etc. ‼️ Ocassionally, the recommended action may change. For instance, if you’re in bed during an earthquake, stay in bed. (More info below) 1303

Dr. Wendy Bohon @drwendyrocks.bsky.social · 04/10/2026DROP. Strong shaking can knock you off your feet. Get down before it knocks you down. COVER. Get under a sturdy table or desk and protect your head and neck. HOLD ON. Your cover can move during strong shaking, so move with it. 1337
Dr. Wendy Bohon @drwendyrocks.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Do you know what to do if you feel earthquake shaking? If you live in North America and the ground starts to shake the recommended action is to “drop, cover, and hold on”. 510544
Dr. Wendy Bohon @drwendyrocks.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I never saw any movement. It was like watching a cloud. Like, maybe it’s moving a little but barely. Here are more from earlier 220
Dr. Wendy Bohon @drwendyrocks.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I would be thrilled if that’s what it was. I think they’re so beautiful. 140
Dr. Wendy Bohon @drwendyrocks.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I’m wondering about the timing of the motion. It was unmoving for the 1st 2-3 minutes I was looking at it. Once I got home and looked again it was about 6 minutes later and that’s when I took the next photo I posted. It seems like murmurations move more quickly? Or maybe it was just my angle? 040
Dr. Wendy Bohon @drwendyrocks.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I don’t know much about weather but that’s way up there with the clouds. 100
Dr. Wendy Bohon @drwendyrocks.bsky.social · 03/10/2026It has evolved. Some kind of weird cloud? Or smoke? 3241
