Major Earthquake Probably Won't Move Pacific Plate Much

With the major earthquake that struck yesterday at Samoa we do now officially have some sizable movement of the Indian Ocean/Australian Tectonic Plate. There has also been a major one at just south of Sumatra as of early today. These two earthquakes are at about 8.0 and 7.5 respectively if someone doesn't change those exact numbers in the coming days like they do sometimes.

So, while it might otherwise seem that this movement of the tectonic plates might cause the Pacific Tectonic Plate to move, I will not be counting on it on this occasion and am writing today to say that at this time there is likely no major alert for our West Coast any longer. Please do note though that those plates are undergoing a major collision right this moment as I am writing this and as a result of that naturally the Pacific Plate will be jostled at least a small amount, and this will probably cause some small amounts of shaking out at the plate boundary between the Pacific and North American Tectonic Plate.

There have also been one or two additional medium sized windstorms in the recent days that could still produce one or two small to medium sized shakers, but I do not expect these other upcoming much smaller earthquakes to be hardly worth writing about, especially when compared to that major one we have been waiting for if you have been reading my blog lately!!! Thank-You, again for reading!!! EQ Guy
