Continued EQ Alert for Messina, Italy, Greece, Vesuvius, USA!

We are presently watching for a very interesting movement of the Indian Ocean/Australian Tectonic Plate and due to this very rare movement, I am checking on locations where major earthquakes are equally as rare. Today I am looking into Messina, Italy where they get some of the biggest earthquakes ever in the world and also Greece because this very unusual movement could lead to one of these types of major earthquakes. Yesterday Sicily was hit by a small 4.5 earthquake. Note that there are other places that get rare earthquakes and some of these could also be affected. The Messina region of Italy has had major earthquakes in the years 1783, 1894, and 1908 just to name the few I found in a quick search with 100 to 200,000 dead in 1908 and a 12 Meter Tsunami. 1783 was a series of 5 Earthquakes which ran from the Straits of Messina north 100 Km between Feb. 5 to Mar. 28, 1783. In the year 226 BC, there was a major earthquake at Rhodes, Greece that reportedly destroyed their very famous Colossus of Rhodes. I notice Northern Wisconsin also seems to be hearing the ground move under them and want to note that this happens to be the general direction that this earthquake energy is heading, although I hardly expect the grand finale to strike Green Bay? This will MORE likely indicate the North American Tectonic Plate is moving North and that a major release could occur around Richmond, DC, NY, California, Washington, or Oregon. Say 5.9 to about 6.5 Richters on this one, so probably not enormous. Keep an eye on Mt. Vesuvius, though, because I have heard they are waiting for something there. Thank-You for reading! EQ Guy
