Two more earthquakes within a few miles of where Tropical Storm Flossie made landfall on July 29, 2013 at Hilo, Hawaii and the total is now several with the running total of all the earthquake energy at just that one location being what I might call critical. This could turn out to become that next major earthquake at Columbia and Ecuador, although as I said at the very end of yesterdays EQ Blog, both of those countries are also situated along the shores of the Pacific Tectonic Plate or the edge of it, rather. Therefore there is this new slight amount of earthquake energy heading directly for the heart of Columbia. . . but all of that energy from that 2 or 3 inches Eastward movement of Marlborough and Cook Strait heading due East or thereabouts across the Pacific from New Zealand that has already made itself known at Easter Island.
Easter Island has a huge runway at their airport there that the Space Shuttle was at one time designated to use in an emergency especially for polar orbits. I also found three hotels right there on that island, but am not interested right at the moment in flying out there. Sort of reminds me of Catalina Island looking at some of the pics. Made up of three major volcanoes and also consisting of a few smaller ones including one that grew together with the others, it is a Sea-Mount or the top of a huge mountain that rises above the ocean in a bigger chain of mountains. Have not checked into what route a person would need to fly to get there, but most likely will need to change planes somewhere along the way.
Finally finished my newest book today Bringing Earthquakes To Life the First Draft and am now editing it with the Final Draft expected to be completed in a few days. Might just post it somewhere in it's entirety so folks like you reading this right now can have access to it, although I have a pic list of 28 pictures so far so am not sure how pics will load into E-Book Format.
Keep Watching as Monday nears for that Mega Thruster that we know is going to strike somewhere, but we do not really know for sure it will be a Mega. . . hopefully just another "Garden Variety" Chile Earthquake!!! EQ Guy
