Quake

Several earthquakes were recorded in Mexico in early November, including a magnitude 4.1 quake in Ciudad Hidalgo, Chiapas. Mexican outlets such as Eje Central, El Comercio Perú and Infobae published rolling reports listing magnitudes, epicenters and times of the latest tremors. Separately, a magnitude 6.9 earthquake struck off Vanuatu, prompting a tsunami alert that was later lifted.

On November 2, 1965, Norman Morrison, a 31-year-old Quaker pacifist, set himself on fire in front of the Pentagon, directly below the office of Defense Secretary Robert McNamara, to protest the US use of napalm in the Vietnam War. His act is being remembered in labor and peace history circles as one of the most extreme acts of anti-war protest of that era.

A preliminary magnitude 2.7 earthquake struck near Pacifica, California, according to NBC Bay Area. No damage or injuries have been reported so far. The quake drew attention as it trended on search in both the United States and Mexico, with users checking for details on the shaking felt around the San Francisco Bay Area coastline.

A 6.0-magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Japan, with the epicentre located 352 kilometres deep beneath the sea. Authorities reported no tsunami risk, and no significant damage has been reported so far. The quake drew widespread attention as people searched for updates on shaking felt across the region.

A magnitude 5.0 earthquake was recorded about 1 km northeast of Ejido Nuevo León, in northern Mexico near the US border, at 18:27 UTC. The quake struck at a shallow depth of around 9 km, which can make shaking more noticeable at the surface. It was classified as moderate, and early reports so far indicate no immediate confirmation of damage or injuries.
