Yesterday a lot of damage from a series of high wind storms crossed the Southern U.S. and so we should right about now start expecting the ground to start shaking out along the West Coast of the North American Tectonic Plate. Preliminary reports were wind speeds of just over 50mph, but i suppose it is possible that there could have been higher gusts. The speed of the wind in general seems to equal the amount of shaking of the ground that is produced with or without damage amounts coming in; compare a high wind striking trees. . . and high wind knocking trees down, and you may notice potentially even more seismic activity when the trees are not broken off or knocked down, but basically the same amount of potential seismic energy generated.
Thank-You for reading!!!
