flooding being a major concern on a mountainous island as well. another natural disaster is the 7.1 earthquake, 30 miles deep. this is an extremely shallow quake, so very little buffering provided by the earth. felt hundreds of miles from the center. magnitude of at least 6.1 or greater is typically expected with a quake of this magnitude. then you work into the hundreds if not thousands of aftershocks. certainly going to be a very scary situation for a lot of people across central mexico for the next weeks or months of aftershocks across this region. the worry is the infrastructure where people can she shelter and be safe and sleep and rest and do all the things they have to do. pedram javaheri, many thanks to you for all those details. we appreciate it. we ll take a short break. evacuate or die. a dire warning from a puerto
that s what you are seeing right now. there have been five aftershocks, four of those have been 5-plus magnitude intensity. unnerving to feel something like that. the depth is 35 kilometers or just about 21, 22 miles deep. wouldn t say it s shallow or deep. it s something in between. globally how many 8.0 magnitude earthquakes do we see in a year? one. and this one occurred about 150 kilometers off the coast just to the outside of the or just to the west of chiapa state. and hurricane irma has now plowed through the turks and caicos and continues so and in the region where you would expect some of the heaviest w d winds, potential for tornados and heavy downpours. but this is a very cocentric
it s 20 miles deep, kubrick that down? what kind of damage cannot cause? when i could much out yet as it just happen. it s a large quake that could potentially cause damage. it is located about 50 miles off the coast, but this area has produced large quakes in the past, so it s a very seismically hectic and has produced large quakes and any quake of this size has a potential to be damaging. there also talking most in army warnings. the last time i checked the tsunami warning center, they were issuing a synonymy warning along the coast of mexico and predicting possible wave heights of 3 meters, so that s what
roughly a dozen, are concerned about russian activities near special undersea cables, cables that carry internet connections. the times reporting spy ships are operating aggressively in areas near where the cables are extending. they extend, you know, hundreds of miles deep and thousands of miles across the globe. and of course, we rely on those cables for almost all of our internet communications. as the times reports that military officials are concerned about russia possibly either disrupting those cables, possibly even consulting them if a broader conflict breaks out. pentagon officials, no u.s. agency is really speaking on the record about this. the russians are saying that that report is basically ridiculous. we have a quote here from a russian foreign ministry spokeswoman, saying, as we can see, the media has been constantly whipping up hysteria lately, trying to make russia look like the aggressor. all those reports are not based on facts but based on assumptions. they giv
would give them a treasure drove of information. it would show the activity on that ship the 12 hours before the capsizing in a perfect world, that would be the speed of the ship, the motion of the ship, whether hatches were open. also potentially the recording of voices in the bridge as the captain and crew were negotiating that horrible storm that cat 4 storm that they faced. it is a very difficult prospect though. the ship is under three miles of water. three miles deep. 15,000 feet below the surface. so getting there is a challenge. then the debris field that could be there because of all those cargo containers that were on the ship that might be piled on top of it now makes it a very difficult prospect. but that s what they re looking for. that s their ultimate goal in this investigation. which easily could take months. mark potter in jacksonville, thank you very much. now to one of the hot topic issues of the 2016 race immigration. while most of the focus of the debate has
