No more than said the name of the East Africa Ridge and Lake Tanganyika. . . then 150 miles south of that lake this 4.5 strikes at Zambia!!! Close call considering I just spotted that region out ahead of all this earthquake energy being caused by the Indian Ocean/Australian Tectonic Plate moving as it is! Also difficult to guess exactly where it will strike due to the whole entire tectonic plate just simply pushing in that general direction, but that's how precision plate tectonics works when you get all the way over into this region like this sometimes! Do have to say that every so often we are over along this plate margin following a straight line of quite similar energy with the only difference there being that with a straight line we are able to very often guess the exact spot where the earthquake might be. On this occasion that ability is lost due to how close the landfall of this huge windstorm was to this plate. Sometimes it will cross, sometimes it will push the tectonic plate which is what it appears to be doing now.
In all events we will need to watch especially closely starting today for all of the additional earthquake activity that is to now be expected due to the supposed effect of the October 2013 New Moon!!! The exact moment of the New Moon will be at 5:32pm Pacific Time this afternoon and so we will need to be watching exceptionally close starting maybe an hour or two before that. . . but I'm almost certain this will be upwards of 8 Richters today so it will not be too hard to notice this one when it strikes!!! New Moon Window runs Thursday, Friday, and into Saturday with the exact moment at 5:32pm Pacific Time on Friday and we start watching at that time Thursday or exactly 24 Hours before.
I am mostly thinking Banda Aceh, Phuket, and Andaman and Nicobar Islands to be the most concern, although Indonesia has as of this writing been getting quite a lot of action at the other far end of that country of many islands and far to the east of Sumatra more over near PNG. Yes, there are many other places including the coast of South America where they will be suseptible to something major shaking in the next 48 hours and our own West Coast might also need to be made aware that something could be shaking, too, although besides Alaska, Montana, Wyoming and New Madrid, I do not have any direct alerts for California, Oregon, or Washington besides them just being shaky places where something could always shake just the same you know. Be Prepared!!! EQ Guy
