A 4.0 Richters Earthquake has just struck up around Wyoming, like a hundred miles or so South of Yellowstone. There could now be more earthquakes coming in the next few hours, but for tonight I have to post that Cyclone Mahasen just made landfall as a Category 1 downgraded. Some of that downgrade could have been with the interaction with land in the hours before landfall at Myanmar, Port of Chittagong to be exact. They also got 500mm of rain and the winds just now reported at 60mph, but I do not know if that includes gusts, which could go as high as about 70 knots or 80 mph.
Earthquake energy will now be headed immediately up towards China, but could affect a lot of other areas right in that region such as Italy, Greece, Turkey, Nepal, and possibly Indonesia and Japan. I will have a complete update at some point, but for now let us watch this new earthquake energy to generate something in the area of 6.5 to 7.6 Richters especially right at the moment up in that Himilayan Arc Region. Also, there may still be some left over earthquake energy out along our West Coast but that was only a 5.9 we were waiting for and I am presently not worried about that. . . although that one MIGHT still hit out there somewhere!

I normally get all the California Earthquakes via text message from #CAquake on Twitter, but they did not seem to have listed it for some reason? @ https://twitter.com/caquake
