New EQ Alert: Ethiopia, Lima, Philippines, Micronesia? 7 or 8 Richters!

Earthquake energy from huge "Very Severe Tropical Cyclone Thane" that just made landfall around India and the Bay of Bengals had windspeeds reported at around 100 mph with gusts of 120 although I roughly translated those numbers from like 140 Kilometers Per Hour. It doesn't look like much of this earthquake energy will approach California or North America, but will be putting some pressure on our West Coast, so I suppose Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois and etc. might be aware that Baja California is already starting to shake! Maybe as high as 5.9 for those folks. Actual line of energy goes directly through Ethiopia, Angola, Lima, Philippines, Micronesia, and Kiribati. Also usually affects Christchurch and New Zealand when crossing that region but this energy is NOT actually in the CH/NZ neighborhood so it isn't quite as likely they will get anything here. Finally of course this new alert will run through January 2012 and into Mid-February and will for sure mean a Major Earthquake in the range of 7 to 8.1 Richters Magnitude and out there in the middle of all that water might just be one of those that results in a tsunami, but be aware this is not a similarly huge alert to ones such as last years Cyclone Yasi with 340 Kmh winds. . . this one is barely half that, so I suppose you may still say Japan Aftershock just in case. Thank-You for reading! EQ Guy
