1. I've visited Croatia many times ..Do we know exactly where the earthquake is happening?

It's a small country.

2. Per your request.

And here's a weblink to Google Maps location:https://www.google.com/maps/place/Croatia/

4. Thank you. Cheap android phones...

6. One of the reasons

I don't use them for the web.

10. I can't afford the cable service that would allow me to connect to the internet thru a laptop.

The cellphone web is what I can afford.
Thanks for helping me.

15. You can still use the phone

for a hotspot.

16. Roc, that as a computer concept is a bit past where I am.

I am saving for a kindle, when I get it, I'll be looking you up as tech support.

8. Google maps shows quake just south of Petrinja

9. USGS event maps

The December 29, 2020 earthquake near Petrinja, Croatia, occurred as a result of shallow strike-slip faulting within the Eurasia Plate. Focal mechanism solutions for the event indicate that rupture occurred on a nearly vertical fault striking either to the southeast or southwest. The location and depth of the event indicate that this was an intraplate earthquake occurring within the Eurasia plate as opposed to along a major tectonic boundary.

Tectonics of the Mediterranean Sea, in the convergent boundary region between Africa and Eurasia, are complex, and involve the motions of numerous microplates and regional-scale structures. The Adriatic block immediately west of today’s earthquake is thought to move somewhat independently to Eurasia and Africa, driving surrounding faulting in Italy and along the eastern Adriatic coast from Croatia to Albania.

This is the largest earthquake to occur in Croatia since the advent of modern seismic instrumentation. An earthquake of similar size occurred in 1880 near Zagreb and there have been three magnitude 6 and larger earthquakes within 200 km of the December 29, 2020 earthquake since 1900. Recently a M5.6 earthquake occurred on November 27, 1990, 175 km to the southeast which injured 10 people.

Croatia: Deadly earthquake causes huge damage, kills child

A powerful 6.4 magnitude earthquake rocked Croatia on Tuesday, the United States Geological Survey reported, killing one child.

The central town of Petrinja was the epicenter. Journalist Dalibor Dobric in Zagreb told DW there were reports of "fatalities."

"Buildings have collapsed, roofs have collapsed. In Zagreb, there are thousands and thousands of people standing in the streets out of fear," he said.

Prime Minister Adrej Plenkovic, who rushed to Petrinja, said: "We have information that one girl was killed. We have no other information on casualties."

"The army is here to help. We will have to move some people from Petrinja because it is unsafe to be here," Plenkovic said.

14. That area of the world is quite complex geologically

with many thrust faults that can cause earthquakes. More geology here:
