Scosse in Sicilia: oltre 30 terremoti in un giorno a causa della compressione africana New

Scosse in Sicilia: oltre 30 terremoti in un giorno a causa della compressione africana

Più di dieci scosse in meno di un’ora, oltre trenta da questa mattina, di cui la più forte di magnitudo 5,5, registrata alle 12:19 di oggi, 23 ottobre 2026 nel Tirreno Meridionale, con epicentro al largo della Sicilia. Cosa sta succedendo? Lo abbiamo chiesto al professor Nicola Alessandro Pino, geofisico e sismologo con oltre trent’anni di attività di ricerca presso l’Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV). Professore buongiorno, ci spiega cosa sta succedendo? Tanti terremoti in così poco tempo, è stata diramata anche un’allerta di livello arancione per il rischio maremoto... cosa sappiamo? Si è attivata una zona sismica ben nota che, dal punto di vista della tettonica, coincide con una complessa zona di convergenza lungo il margine di convergenza tra la placca africana e la placca euroasiatica. Questa struttura genera frequenti terremoti che, solitamente, raggiungono profondità medio-elevate. In questa sequenza sismica, le profondità si aggirano comunque intorno ai 10 km, raggiungendo al massimo i 25 km, quindi non sono nell’ordine di centinaia di chilometri, come spesso avviene più a est, nell’area di subduzione in corrispondenza dell’arco calabro. Una fascia di sismicità nota? Ci aiuti a capire? Parliamo di una fascia di sismicità che dalla Sicilia orientale, più o meno dalla provincia di Messina, si estende verso la Sicilia occidentale, quindi verso la provincia di Palermo, lungo tutta la costa tirrenica. Si tratta di una zona di compressione, cioè di una zona che esprime la sismicità dovuta appunto alla compressione del continente africano, che sta tenendo progressivamente a chiudere il Mediterraneo. Non parliamo quindi di una singola faglia, ma di un sistema di faglie? Esattamente, in questa zona si estende tutto un insieme di faglie in successione. Non proprio una dietro l’altra, ma più o meno parallele alla costa della Sicilia, volendone semplificare la descrizione. Quando si verifica un terremoto di magnitudo più o meno medio-forte, solitamente si sussegue una serie di terremoti: in questo caso parliamo di una sequenza sismica, in cui si verifica un terremoto di magnitudo maggiore, che può essere preceduto e a cui seguono terremoti spesso più deboli. Una sorta di reazione a catena, o volendo, una serie di ripercussioni sulle stessa faglia o le altre faglie adiacenti. L’innesco di questi terremoti è il rilascio dell’energia che si accumula per effetto della compressione che la placca africana sta esercitando su quella euroasiatica, nell’ambito di un processo che avviene su una scala di milioni di anni. In pratica, fino a quando l’Africa continuerà a spingere verso l’Europa, stringendo il Mediterraneo, questa zona sismica continuerà ad accumulare sforzo, che viene rilasciato sotto forma di terremoti. Qualcuno ha ipotizzato che il vulcano Marsili possa avere un ruolo? Lo escludo, anche perché questo vulcano sottomarino si trova in una diversa area del Tirreno, distante qualche centinaio di chilometri dall’epicentro di questi terremoti, che vediamo invece tutti localizzati lungo il margine di convergenza tra la placca africana e quella euroasiatica. È stata diramata anche un’allerta maremoto di livello arancione, perché? In generale, i terremoti che scuotono il fondale marino possono generare maremoti, perché sollecitano tutto lo spessore della colonna d’acqua sovrastante a muoversi. Avendo epicentro in mare, al largo della Sicilia, questi terremoti possono quindi dislocare una superficie che, sul fondo del mare, può innescare il movimento di tutta la colonna d’acqua sovrastante, che poi si propaga e genera il maremoto. Sono ore di forte preoccupazione, per la frequenza con cui si stanno registrando le scosse. Cosa dovrebbero fare i siciliani e chi si trova in Sicilia? Quello che andrebbe fatto durante tutti i terremoti. Se durante le scosse si è in casa, ci si può riparare sotto un tavolo robusto, evitando di uscire per strada. Se invece si è all’aperto, bisogna allontanarsi dagli edifici, perché i cornicioni, ma anche banalmente i vasi appoggiati sui davanzali, rischiano di cadere. Per chi si trova invece sulla direttamente sulla costa, è invece opportuno fare attenzione a quelli che possono essere segnali di un maremoto, come il ritiro o l’innalzamento insolito del mare. In ogni caso, in questa fase di allerta, la regola generale è raggiungere una zona elevata. Considerando tuttavia l’intensità con cui è stata avvertita la scossa principale, che è intorno al terzo-quarto grado della scala Mercalli, con alcune località della costa siciliana e delle Isole Eolie dove si è arrivati a un quarto-quinto grado, possiamo dire che si tratta di valori al di sotto della soglia del danno. Potrebbero essere caduti calcinacci o qualcosa di instabile già di suo: bisognerà vedere cosa ci diranno i report, ma non credo che si siano verificati danni seri.

I was bouncing from show to show as a kid.""I want to leave time for new things," Ortega added.She said once Wednesday is done, she will take a break (HELEN SLOAN/NETFLIX)In her Esquire conversation, the star explained that being a child star began and never ended.“I was seven years old when I said I wanted to do this,” Ortega said. “My parents laughed at me when I told them that I wanted to do it, and then that was kind of the root of everything. The motivation. And I never really stopped, because I’m very stubborn. And then I never questioned it.”She also said that she had it 'going for' her as a child, and the opportunities were fresh.“I really had it going for me as a child ‘cause I can’t think of one mistake I made. Is that a terrible thing to say?," she asked. "I feel like I make mistakes now all the time, but as a child, I was so grateful and so excited to be there that my game face was on.”Featured Image Credit: Dominik Bindl/WireImageTopics: Jenna Ortega, Netflix

BNR pregătită pentru aderarea la euro, dar deficitul bugetar rămâne un obstacol major New

BNR pregătită pentru aderarea la euro, dar deficitul bugetar rămâne un obstacol major

Aderarea la zona euro este un fenomen economic, dar şi unul politic, iar pentru aceasta este nevoie de eforturi susţinute pe toate paliere, a afirmat, vineri, la Sinaia, Cristian Popa, membru al Consiliului de Administraţie al Băncii Naţionale a României (BNR).„În primul rând, cred că trebuie să spunem că avansul pe drumul aderării la euro este strict condiţionat de avansul pe frontul consolidării fiscale. Chiar şi cu 6% deficit, este un progres faţă de 9%, însă condiţiile de la Maastricht ne cer maxim 3% şi sunt mult mai multe condiţii decât deficitul maxim de 3%. Noi le-am promis europenilor că în 2029-2030 să coborâm cu deficitul sub 3%, de acolo încolo putem să ne aşezăm la masă, să avem o discuţie serioasă cu ei, însă un mesaj important pe care Banca Naţională a României l-a dat este că trecerea, aderarea la zona euro este un fenomen economic, dar este şi un fenomen politic. Este nevoie de eforturi pe toate palierele, este nevoie ca toţi decidenţii din această ţară să facă acele sacrificii. Nu e uşor să reduci deficitul, ne e foarte clar. Nu este uşor să reducem datoria publică, nu este uşor să aducem inflaţia unde trebuie, însă e nevoie de acest efort care nu stă doar la Banca Centrală", a afirmat Cristian Popa, în cadrul Summitului Rethink România 2026 - "O viziune pentru România", scrie Agerpres.Potrivit acestuia, Banca Centrală este pregătită din mai multe puncte de vedere pentru aderarea la zona euro.„Banca Centrală face mai degrabă acele eforturi tehnice şi suntem pregătiţi din multe aspecte, din multe puncte de vedere. Sisteme de plăţi, putem printa bancnote euro, în curând vom putea bate monede euro, însă e nevoie de un efort mult mai mare”, a precizat Cristian Popa.El a ţinut şi să arate că „nu toate lucrurile sunt roz în zona euro".„E nevoie să înţelegem, spun eu în nume privat, în nume personal, ca şi economist, că nu toate lucrurile sunt roz în zona euro, sunt mai degrabă lucrurile pozitive, e mai degrabă bine pentru România, însă trebuie să înţelegem că sunt plusuri şi minusuri şi să mergem pe această direcţie. Eu sprijin trecerea la euro, cred că este important să mergem pe acest drum şi drumul e important şi destinaţia, însă trebuie să înţelegem că nu e doar lapte şi miere", a mai spus Cristian Popa.

Virginia Bar Adds 20% Gratuity for Orders After 10 PM, Sparking Debate New

Virginia Bar Adds 20% Gratuity for Orders After 10 PM, Sparking Debate

See more of our coverage in your search results. Night owl penalty. A bar customer is airing his outrage on Reddit over an auto gratuity.According to the offended imbiber, The Corner Pocket in Williamsburg, Virginia, charged him a 20% late-night gratuity for ordering drinks after 10 p.m.The Corner Pocket, which has operated for three decades, bills itself as a “staple” in the historic community with “13 pool tables, darts, a full-service bar, a dining room and a spacious outdoor patio.” According to the offended imbiber, The Corner Pocket in Williamsburg, Virginia, charged him a 20% late-night gratuity for ordering drinks after 10 pm. The Corner Pocket/Google Maps“Went to this pool hall last night for one drink. It was just after 10 p.m. when we got in, and my wife and I were staying for exactly one drink,” shared the original poster.“We only came here because it was one of the few places still open at 10 p.m. on a Wednesday,” he added.He posted his receipt from the evening, which showed he ordered two Guinnesses at $8.50 each at 10:40 PM and was later charged $1.87 in tax and an additional $3.40 “late night auto gratuity.”A footnote at the bottom of the receipt explained, ‘Auto gratuity is added to groups of 6+ and after 10 PM. Anything written will be added to the auto gratuity.’ According to the post, the couple sat at a high top by the bar: “The bartender came over to take our order. She didn’t offer us a drink menu, so I saw a Guinness tap and just got that. My wife did the same. Again, just here for one,” he explained, adding that their beer arrived in plastic cups rather than a traditional glass pint. After a bit of talk, the couple finished their beers and asked for the bill. “I go to pay, and then I see it,” he said. A footnote at the bottom of the receipt explained, ‘Auto gratuity is added to groups of 6+ and after 10 PM. Anything written will be added to the auto gratuity.’ Reddit“I looked around, and there’s literally nothing that says this before the fact. If there was, we would have gone somewhere else.”“Ridiculousness,” he emphasized.Many commenters quickly echoed his sentiments. “Theft. Pay cash and don’t include the tip,” reasoned another.“‘If more people question these forced tips, they will eventually go away,” offered a third.“Probably due to the high number of tipsy people forgetting to close their tab,” speculated another. The original poster replied that he had already done so and a recent Yelp review is consistent with his experience. The owner of The Corner Pocket responded with the following statement: “Thank you for sharing your experience. We never want any guest to leave dissatisfied, and it appears we fell short last night…The auto gratuity policy is posted on signs and noted on our menus and online. We work to communicate it clearly, but we understand it can be missed,” they wrote, urging the customer to reach out via email to continue the conversation. Tipping culture has become increasingly contentious.William Michael Lynn, professor emeritus of consumer behavior and marketing at Cornell University, previously told The Post that the country’s anti-tipping sentiment is growing.“People’s attitudes towards tipping have gotten worse,” said Lynn, who has been studying tipping for over 40 years. “They’ve started to dislike it more and more.”According to Lynn’s research, 32% of people said they wanted tipping abolished in 2016. That number climbed to 52% by 2022.As for restaurants like The Corner Pocket that automatically include gratuity on bills, Lynn says don’t be afraid to ask servers for clarity.“It’s perfectly acceptable to say, ‘Is a tip included? Is a service charge included?’ And if it is, then if you feel like giving $1 or two more, that’s completely up to you.”
