I just seen where there was about a 5.9 Richters shaker over around Japan like yesterday. I checked on the Redoubt Volcano and saw a very nice picture of it from a webcam up there. Currently it is about forty degrees outside here in Wisconsin and so I thought I should just write today to say that at the present time there is no major sources of potential seismic energy pretty much anywhere in the world.
While a 5.9 Richters earthquake in Japan does indicate a very small amount of seismic energy, it is my own opinion that it is not enough to involve the Pacific Tectonic Plate in enough movement to cause a major volcano to erupt. As always, this seismic energy would need to directly strike at or very near the center of a volcano to cause much of an eruption, but like i always say with Mount St. Helens none of this potential seismic energy actually KNOWS where that volcano IS. Therefore, any potential seismic activity circling the earth or influencing the Pacific Tectonic Plate will be striking WHERE IT WILL, and any volcano active or not will be simply a target for a source of potential seismic energy that will still just hit wherever it will. Mathmatically speaking, this would be the reason that some of these huge volcanoes do erupt, and while it is ofter so many years before one like Redoubt will erupt. Methinks it has a lot to do with all of the present potential seismic energy being very likely to miss this volcano.
If you are in the area of Alaska, keep in mind that this situation will chance immediately as soon as there is a major Tropical Cyclone in the Southern Hemisphere, or as soon as the Hurricane and Typhoon season returns in the North. I will be sure to alert everybody at that time. Until then, this is NOT an official statement representing anybody but myself, but there is none, or very little in the way of potential seismic in the coming days and weeks. . . for now. And Thank-You, again for reading!!!
