What is being called a land phenomena in the Romanian County of Galati, swarms of Earthquakes over the last couple of weeks are terrifying villagers, some of which are up and leaving their homes in fear.
From recent reports, specialists are "intrigued" with some asserting these are all earthquakes and others back on October 1, were asking "earthquakes or landslides?"
Dozens of these quakes up to a Magnitude of 3.8, at extremely shallow depths, with a relatively high shaking intensity are damaging the villages near the epicenter areas which are in different locations.
Via Earthquake report:
Galati is a region with relatively low seismic activity and earthquake swarms like the current events are only known from the newspapers in other regions / countries (ER could trace some unconfirmed reports that a number of earthquakes occurred in March 1894!).
[...]
Residents and seismologists are very surprised and are trying to understand what is happening. Oil extraction and floodings where initially mentioned as possible triggers but these reasons cannot explain why some other phenomenons like : a constant sound like “boiling water” (coming from the ground) and a strange water smell (like sulfur) is being noticed.
A Google search for the last month, verifies the constant reports of earthquakes being reported on over the last week.
Romania isn't the only place dealing with these swarms, as the global earthquake report from September 30, 2013, from MrHurricaneTracker shows.
