Hello, I have just completed an extensive search across the globe and with the World Atlas and have come up with the following geographic areas that will most likely get some of this new earthquake energy from the landfall of Cyclone Mahasen at Chittagong, Bangladesh. The general region where this now upcoming Major Earthquake COULD strike are: Nowgong, Tinsukia, Bhutan, Silaguri, Nepal and the Churia Range, and the Chengdu Region of Sichuan, China. It will also be possible Bangladesh and Myanmar could get some earthquake energy along the way, too. A similar Cyclone named Nargis struck this region on May 2, 2008 and the now Great Sichuan, China earthquake struck days later on May 12, 2008 killing 69,000. Cyclone Mahasen WAS NOT as large as Nargis with highest winds around 60mph, so I might guess the range of this earthquake at 6.9 to 7.6 Richters, while the 2008 Sichuan Earthquake was 8.0 Richters, although Nargis had 105mph winds. Note that I discovered Idaho and Yellowstone up and over the globe on this one for down the road, so it could become a major West Coast factor more towards the end of May 2013.
There was a tornado that struck Texas last night at Granbury, TX that was rated EF-4 with winds reported at 160 to 200 miles per hour and I will need the route of the path on the ground there to give more exact info, but for now this could produce Msjor Earthquake Energy that could strike anywhere along our West Coast. I will be updating on this info since it could become serious as more information comes in. As of this writing the Weather Service was investigating, but my notes say a wide swath of homes and scores of homes flattened. I would even watch that immediate region for a 5 or 6 Richters earthquake in the coming hours which will indicate something heading for the tectonic plate boundary with the Pacific later. The activity of the Popocatepetl Volcano near Mexico City could be increased by all of this new seismic energy, too.
This will conclude the information that I currently have available and I will now rush this message to post at my EQ Blog with my Thanks to everybody for reading!!! God Bless all those folks involved with these huge windstorms as well as those who may be in the path of a major earthquake right now! Sincerely, The EQ Alert Guy
Note: New Zealand should have appeared in paragraph one above due to being situated along that same tectonic plate. Edited at 6:25pm May 16, 2013
