[wondering]

Yes, Onawah, I hope Bill is OK also. I don't see any posts from him today, unless I just missed them. 🤞🤞🤞

[Alecs]

Same here, folks. I was wondering if Bill is OK as well.
I hope that Bill has people to check in with, or get assistance from, if needed.

Just a little note about Bill. He has only had very limitied internet access the past few days. He is expecting the repair to his internet during the coming week. Hopefully later today we will hear from Bill and he will let us know if he felt the earthquake up in the mountains where he lives. May Bill and also our other members in Ecuador be safe and well.

Yes, many thanks indeed for everyone's concern... the whole house was shaking. and it continued for a good minute. (That's a long time! ) All was well, but I felt I should do a careful damage check of the walls (100-year old, thick adobe) and gas/water pipes.

As Harmony explained, my internet is down at the moment with no end in sight (a hardware problem on the relay pole on the hill about 100m away), but I can be online at a friend's house for a brief while at about this time every day. So it was a little surreal, as I was out of contact with everyone and had no idea exactly what had happened or where, except that it was obviously a large quake not too far away. I'm still catching up, but apparently there was a LOT of damage in several towns and cities.

At Least 13 Dead After 6.7 Magnitude Earthquake Hits Ecuador and Northern Peru

On Saturday, a 6.7 magnitude earthquake in southern Ecuador and northern Peru has left at least 13 people dead with others trapped under rubble.

The Guardian reports:

The US Geological Survey reported an earthquake with a magnitude of 6.7 in the country’s coastal Guayas region. Its centre was about 50 miles (80 kilometres) south of Guayaquil, which has a metropolitan area of more than 3 million people.

The Ecuadorian president, Guillermo Lasso, in a televised address said the earthquake killed 12 people. In a tweet, he also asked people to remain calm.

The Peruvian prime minister, Alberto Otárola, said a four-year-old girl had died from head trauma she suffered in the collapse of her home in the Tumbes region, on the border with Ecuador.

Cristian Torres, head of the Risk Management Secretariat, Ecuador’s emergency response agency, said in a radio interview that 11 of the victims in the country died in the coastal state of El Oro and one in the highlands state of Azuay.

The victim in Azuay’s Andean community of Cuenca was a passenger in a vehicle crushed by rubble from a house, the agency said.

In the coastal province of El Oro, people were trapped under rubble, the agency reported. In the community of Machala, a two-storey home collapsed before people could be evacuated, a pier gave way and a building’s walls cracked, trapping an unknown number of people.

Strong earthquake hits Ecuador, at least 15 dead


A strong 6.8-magnitude earthquake has struck Ecuador, causing a number of buildings to collapse and killing at least 15 people, officials and witnesses say. More than 400 people have been injured.

The earthquake, which struck at 12:12 p.m. local time on Saturday, was centered just a few kilometers offshore, about 67 kilometers south of Guayaquil and 94 kilometers west of Cuenca.

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) said the quake had a magnitude of 6.8 and struck about 66 kilometers below the surface, which is fairly deep. Ecuador’s Geophysical Institute put the magnitude slightly lower, at 6.7.

Shaking was felt across the region and as far away as neighboring Peru and Colombia, but the damage appeared to be relatively localized, though buildings were reported to have collapsed in multiple locations.

At least 15 deaths were confirmed by Saturday night, all but three of them in El Oro province. Another 446 people were injured.

In Machala, the capital of El Oro province, at least nine deaths were reported, including a baby who died when a house collapsed. In Cuenca, a city in Azuay province, a car was crushed by falling debris, killing the driver.

Elsewhere in Ecuador, in Puerto Bolívar, a building housing a museum and a restaurant dropped into water, but there were no reports of casualties. In Peru, a 4-year-old girl was killed when a roof collapsed at her home in Tumbes.

According to computer models from the USGS, up 15.6 million people could have felt Saturday’s earthquake, including 6.2 million people who experienced “strong” to “very strong” shaking.

Please don't consider this post as patronising... have you got a carbon monoxide monitor just in case the gas pipes have been damaged? It may be worth getting the Ecuadorian equivalent of a gas safe engineer to do a check-over?

Thanks! Yes, metal (copper) gas pipe fractures are possible, sometimes hard to see. But I'd soon know if there's a leak, as my gas cylinders would empty much quicker than normal. (That did happen once before, so I know what to look for.) Meanwhile, my doors and windows are wide open almost all the time here, even at night, so there's zero danger of poisoning.

Glut of Ukrainian grain on local markets triggers protests by farmers in Romania and Bulgaria, erodes support for Ukraine.

Poland's minister of agriculture resigns.

In 2022, the EU opened its market to Ukrainian agricultural products, resulting in a significant increase in exports from Ukraine to the EU, which reached $12.9 billion. This influx of cheaper Ukrainian grains flooded the EU markets and led to protests by farmers in Bulgaria, Romania, and Poland.

Romanian and Bulgarian agricultural workers are protesting against the importation of Ukrainian grain, which they claim is flooding central European markets and driving down prices. They argue that the cheaper Ukrainian wheat is not simply in transit, but is instead being dumped into the market, causing financial strain as fertilizer and energy costs increase.

According to them, the imported Ukrainian wheat is excessively flooding the domestic markets and causing a decline in prices, despite increasing costs of fertilizer and energy. In Romania, around 100 farmers gathered in the capital city of Bucharest, while numerous others staged protests with long lines of tractors throughout the country. In Bulgaria, grain producers blocked certain border crossings using their farming vehicles.

In an effort to streamline the transportation of Ukrainian agricultural products to third-country markets, the EU lifted customs duties and import quotas on these goods last year. Ukraine is among the largest producers of grain and sunflower oil globally.

Nevertheless, an excess of low-cost Ukrainian agricultural products, particularly grain, has adversely impacted farmers in Romania, Bulgaria, Poland, and other EU nations, leading to a significant reduction in prices within local markets.

The nations bordering Ukraine are facing the most severe issues, as wheat imported from Ukraine for further transport to other global destinations frequently remains unused, leading to the saturation of silos and a substantial decline in its value.

The pressure on the EU regarding the influx of Ukrainian grain is intensifying as Poland's Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Henryk Kowalczyk, announces his resignation amidst ongoing farmer protests. Brussels' apparent blindness to the impact of Ukrainian grain imports has further escalated the situation.
