There were a lot of earthquakes that happened in the past several hours and the best I can do right now is list them, 5.3 Iran, 5.2 India, 5.5 Papua New Guinea, 6.5 Offshore New Zealand, and a 4.1 that struck 87 miles Northeast of Bucharest, Romania. This reminds me to tell everybody that no matter how big the potential earthquake might be when it is heading up across the top of the Indian Ocean Tectonic Plate I should probably say right now that there are rather a lot of different countries up that way and the earthquake does not know where the boundaries between all those countries are. Therefore a big one could very easily strike any of them up in that region in the coming hours and days and it is difficult for me to name them all in an alert but a few of them are Italy, Greece, Romania, Serbia, Czech Republic, Hungary, and etc., etc., etc. There are many others and a lot of them are small, but still stand a chance of being the epicenter for a major earthquake at some point. And that is what's going on up there in that region right now since they've had a lot of shaking in the last several hours.
Here is that rather fancy felt report from the 3.1 that struck very, very near Santa Barbara and actually only a thousand feet from one of my fav campgrounds at Golleta, California!!! Check out all the names of the nearby cities and towns and see how many of them you have heard of or possibly even been to!!!!!

Just In the 3.1 that struck Rancho Cucamonga while I was writing this EQ Blog! I will update that early Monday.
Congratulations Seattle Seahawks on winning the 2014 Super Bowl!!! And continue to watch for a Major Earthquake that just might still have a chance to strike up in that somewhat sometimes shaky Seattle Region!!! There will remain as much as 7.6 to 9 Richters of Major Earthquake Energy lurking out there somewhere and we are certainly seeing a lot of it showing up all around the world right now as I am writing, too! Just a matter of when it lets loose!!!
And for anybody who was keeping track of the Reno/Virginia City Swarm it now looks like the exact moment when all the shaking stopped or 3 in the afternoon on Wednesday, January 30 was 1 hour and 19 minutes AFTER the exact moment of the January New Moon. Just for correlation purposes that huge series of minor earthquakes actually ENDED right just a little over an hour AFTER the exact moment. Therefore we have two or three days of shaking leading UP TO the New Moon and it quit. . . right at that exact moment almost or a few minutes afterwards anyways. For Your Information and I will have more of it written up after I gather all the numbers. Thank-You for Reading! Congrats Seahawks!!! EQ Guy
