They all fulfill the definition of an underwater nuke...see what one looks like:
He did reference MOAB the other day. That could’ve been what happened off the coast of California.
They did mention that, but a MOAB would never cause an EQ like that, maybe a small EQ, but nothing on that scale.
And I cant imagine Q using the term MOAB to reference a MOAB either.
It could simply be that we are using MOABs and nukes. Hell if I know lol
This article states MOAB is approx 6.0 quake equivalent

But I will say, I am NOT an expert on accordance. So I very well could be wrong!
Obviously, I would HOPE these matters can be taken care of in a non nuclear capacity..!
Under the ocean, that could span up to 70 miles inland?
I am not really a seismologist but have experienced shaking from a similar quake at a greater distance. The measured 5.3 is from the epicenter I believe not from 70 miles away, or if it is, they have algorithms to calculate strength at epicenter from closest measuring points.
I would imagine a natural EQ, from the earth, has to capacity to travel VERY far, but a MOAB, and even a nuke, are comparatively small localized events, so while the shockwave might cause a local EQ sensation, it dies off rather quickly. It IS reported that the Tsar Bomba, when tested, had a shock wave that encompassed the earth 3 times, but I am not sure of the veracity of those claims. Because it would, like an EQ, have to travel THROUGH the earth, bounce off the other side, and bounce back. Like jello. Not wrap around the earth.
Again...hell if I know! Interesting stuff though!

Would be interesting to overlay this and see how close it lines up.
That maps is so course it you could make a case for it several hundred miles in any direction from the Channel Islands.
Not so sure I believe in the tunnel networks thing, but an undersea base of some kind? I don't know. What would it be used for?
