As I promised in yesterdays EQ Blog, there have been quite a number of noteworthy earthquakes striking in recent hours including that big 6.2 that struck very near Constitucion, Chile and about 100 miles north of Valparaiso. CNN reported that it is an area where earthquakes do not normally hit and that some communications are out as a result. See that story @ http://www.cnn.com/2012/01/17/world/americas/chile-earthquake/
There had also been at least one 5.0 at the Islands of Alaska and when it appeared there would be more headed for Japan there was a 4.9 that struck just offshore there and was felt in Fukushima 127 Km Southeast of that city. Although I am not sure of the exact timeline there and it seems like the Alaska shaker could have been more recent thereby indicating still more possibly bigger Japan Earthquake (s) to come!!!
Mammoth Lakes California had a 2.5 mixed in there with all the other earthquakes today and so be watching for more! I noticed early this morning the name Lompoc, California came up, too! Tells me all this earthquake energy that is clearly pushing the Pacific Tectonic Plate, MIGHT affect California more yet! Always the chance existing out there somewhere that they could get a generous portion of this still upcoming 7.6 to 8.3 Richters!!! Also watch France, Spain, Italy, etc. for some serious shaking!!!
