Just a little bit surprised to see a 4.5 that shook with the name East Coast of United States? Then of course I immediately clicked on it to see exactly where and found Jacksonville, Florida right there in the vicinity and then noticed North Carolina there, too. Notice also mentions the distance to Bahamas. SEE USGS at: http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/usb000k8bw#summary Wasn't too surprised that as I was checking out the map, Weather Channel was showing current location of Tropical Storm Karen and would you know it is basically exactly about the same spot!!! Yes, I'm sure connected, but since I'm mostly operating on my own theories here it's fairly difficult to answer the question as to how they are related. One theory has the windstorm arcing across phases, but to my knowledge there is no phase to arc across at that point, although there is one east of there, so. . . . .
LOOKS like Typhoon Danas WILL NOT be turning sharp enough to generate any major earthquake energy, at least for California or our West Coast. Rather, Typhoon Danas is now nearly disapated at the southern tip of the Korean Peninsula and all but out of our concern with the exception of some earthqauke energy heading North Northeast somewhere. At least it will NOT be an Official Prediction and California and Frisco can relax. . . this HUGE Earthquake is not heading for them. Still one smaller one might be affecting them, but much smaller like 6.
Finally still at least one major one lingering out in the Pacific somewhere, possibly heading for Santiago/Valpariso, Chile. . . but maybe still ready to strike Sumatra, too! Don't forget that one runs into November and can still strike at any time. EQ Guy
