I really do not like to begin now saying that California might be inline for the possible "Mega-Thruster" sized Major Earthquake on the other side of the Pacific, but there was just a 4.3 that struck 30 miles Northwest of Beautiful Downtown Mojave and California City, California. Felt reports on this big medium sized California Earthquake were 20 from Bakersfield, 19 from Tehachapi, 2 from Carson 90746, and one each from Carson 90741, Diamond Bar, El Monte, Wrightwood, Los Angeles, and many others.

There seems to be an unsettled discrepancy between the China Seismology Outfit that is giving the recent China Earthquake as a 6.6 and the USGS who is maintaining it at a 5.9 and in all events they seem to agree that the major aftershock WAS a 5.6 striking just over an hour after the first one. The problem that I now have trying to efficiently track the remaining Major Earthquake Energy around the globe is that if it was a 6.6 then there may not be quite so much energy left to track you understand. However at 5.9 that could have been only a foreshock for a HUGE Earthquake that has yet to shake so we should continue to watch Mandalay, Banda Aceh, Taiwan, Guam, New Zealand and all the other Pacific Islands for what might shake next. It could be the 9.3 Mega-Thruster that we are watching for!!! Hopefully California was just an indication that there is major tectonic plate movement. . . but they could also be inline for something big, too! Thank-You for Reading!!! EQ Guy
