If you're following my EQ Blog closely than you already know we were watching for this one or something like this to strike at any moment!!! I see my last two EQ Blog headlines were that 6.2 at Constitucion, Chile and then the 6.3 at Taiwan and I seem to recall saying to watch out because the next one should probably be over here on our side of the Pacific Tectonic Plate and then my phone chimed at just after 6pm tonight my time with the 6.6 South of Coquimbo, Chile that as of this writing has no damage reports. However if you recall the story I ran the link to yesterday, then you already know this region is very shaky. I also checked the Google Map that accompanies the USGS Report for this earthquake and found a whole entire hillside filled with houses all the way to the top just a few miles from where the epicenter is marked on that map. I hope there were no injuries in that neighborhood nestled along the pacific coast there with a great beach and lots of sailboats, etc., but am sorry to say they were awfully close to that epicenter and am not sure how bad a 6.6 might turn out to be there.
In my search I also found the 2010 Chile Earthquake that struck on Feburary 27, 2010 and recalled having been writing about that one in the days and hours before it shook! Here is an Official Prediction filed just days before it struck although written for California mostly due to being filed with California and knowing there was at least some danger to them. . . obviously! http://earthquakealert.blogspot.com/2010/02/brand-new-official-prediction-for-major.html It was also just hours before the exact moment of the February 2010 Full Moon and a reminder that the November 2013 New Moon is November 3 at 12:50UTC or about 7:50am Central/5:50am Pacific.
The February 2010 Full Moon exact moment was February 28, 2010 at 16:39UTC or 10:39am Central. . . however the February 2010 Full Moon WINDOW would have begun on February 27 at 10:39am Central/8:39 Pacific and the exact moment of that big Chile Earthquake of 8.8 Richters was on February 27 at 6:34UTC and 3:34 Local time in Chile.
So our own New Moon Window will be starting early Saturday Morning at around 7:50am Central and 5:50am Pacific BE WATCHING!!! EQ Guy
