A seismic crisis occurred at Piton de la Fournaise Volcano, Reunion on the evening of 23rd September. Several tens of earthquakes were located at the base of the summit area, in Dolomieu crater.

The seismic crisis was associated with significant inflation (3 cm) of the volcano, especially near the summit. The data indicates that magma has moved towards the surface and an eruption is imminent.

Access trails to the summit of Piton de la Fournaise, either from Pas de Bellecombe or from any other trails have been closed to the public from 24th September 2010 until further notice.

A magnitude-5.0 earthquake has shaken a rural area near the border of Arizona and Mexico.

The U.S. Geological Survey says the 3:52 a.m. Tuesday quake was centered 42 miles southwest of San Luis, a Yuma County border town in southwest Arizona. The preliminary 5.4-magnitude shaker was revised to 5.0.

San Luis police dispatcher Elias Gonzalez felt the quake and described it as a brief jolt. He says a few residents telephoned to report feeling the quake, which also set off some burglar alarms, but there are no reports of damage or injury.
