The two latest typhoons have caused just a real small amount of potential seismic energy and I want to make sure that people who follow my blog have this most recent up to date info.
The straight line from the landfall this weekend of Typhoon Kitsama at Taiwan will send a certian amount of potential seismic energy past Andaman and Nicobar Islands, and past Colombo and Sri Lanka where there could be a small 6 or 7 Richters foreshock as a result of that tectonic plate boundary moving slightly as this energy passes on to Africa. I'm guessing the seismic energy won't end there, although sometimes it does you know.
I'm mostly writing today to alert everybody that this line will cross Tanzania and Burundi probably between November 7 and November 20. Lake Tanganyika is directly in the path of this potential seismic energy and you might say that neighborhood is sort of due for some shaking, too!!! Couldn't find a "Shake Map" of that region so the region in general should be aware of this small to medium sized earthquake which will almost for certain strike there, probably not too much larger than 7 Richters Magnitude and in the coming weeks, too.
November 3 will be Day 31 after the landfall of Typhoon Parma and there is a full moon coming up one of these days, too, but the forshock which actually struck right at Taiwan while this typhoon was physically still striking the island, was just a 6.1 and so I'm not thinking too big of an earthquake there. Let's mostly watch Africa!!!
Thank-You, again for reading!!!

Fascinating. I live in the Tanganyika region and I've been enjoying the stable ground after living in San Diego and San Francisco. But I've been thinking this area is probably due for a shaking soon; seems to happen every few years.
Amiable post and this post helped me alot in my college assignement. Thank you seeking your information.
