The other night during the Quiz, Marina said she thought they were having an EQ. I went off and couldn't find any reports. So I got in touch with a friend who has access to all sorts of data other than just USGS. He came back with this.....
Seems Moldavia is now a part of Romania, the Republic Of Moldova and the Ukraine. Being as it is near Ukraine perhaps it was the ground rumbling from passing Russian tanks?
There was an earthquake on the 3rd. Here is a link to the shakemap Maybe an aftershock of that one perhaps. Depends where your friend is located really.
Here is the EMSC page for that quake.
Now we have this.....
In the days after the Crimean referendum, we presented our take on "who is next" in the great annexation scramble and said that the most likely region to enter the USSR 2.0 next is Moldova's Transnistira region, where in a 2006 referendum some 97% of the population had voted to become part of Russia.
Moments ago this appears to have been confirmed after the president of the territory said the following, via Bloomberg:
TRANSNISTRIA SEEKING TO JOIN RUSSIA AFTER WINNING INDEPENDENCE
MOLDOVA'S TRANSNISTRIA REGION SEEKS TO JOIN RUSSIA: PRESIDENT
TRANSNISTRIA PRESIDENT SHEVCHUK SPEAKING TO REPORTERS ON RUSSIA
One thing is certain: the "west" will not be happy as the Russian territorial expansion continues.
