Here is a follow up story to the late breaking story from yesterdays EQ Blog: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/05/08/popocatepetl-volcano-eruption-covers-mexican-towns-in-ash_n_3238967.html?utm_hp_ref=world . . . it mostly shows pics of a town that was covered in volcano ash early this week when a volcano near Mexico City spewed ash. Popocatepetl is presently acting like it might evolve at any moment into a major volcano eruption affecting Mexico City. In addition to yesterdays 7 Richters at the Marriana Islands there was a 5.0 at Kamchatka and a 4.4 at Kodiak Island, Alaska like early today or late last night. The sum total from the Iran Series has now totaled 139.5 Richters, but seems to have moved on with very little more shaking that exact epicentral region.
I believe the Mexico City Volcano is an indication that we have some seismic activity along the tectonic plate boundary between the Pacific and North American Tectonic Plate and we should continue to watch along the San Andreas Fault and pretty much all of that shaky West Coast region for hopefully just something small and no bigger than 6 Richters. I want to stay with 5 to 6. Keep Watching! EQ Guy
