I've always marveled at the Coachella Festival out there in beautiful Coachella and noticed it is not unusual for an earthquake to coincide with the big fest! Well, this year I had not yet gotten around to guessing this would happen, and only in the last day or so seen it mentioned that it was, or might be, this weekend. That was until late Friday when I checked out the list of latest earthquakes and spotted Salton Sea, and 33 Miles SSE of Coachella staring at me on the list, there! Could be more coming for that area but hopefully just those little shakers like that and in general the epicenters in that region are generally up there in the much higher desert regions more towards Barstow or Borrego Springs to the west.
The 6.6 was a fairly big earthquake at Nicaragua and there could be more in that region and it is possible that is the movement of the Pacific Tectonic Plate headed for Tijuana and San Fernando Valley as I stated in recent Official Prediction if anybody wants to see it and hasn't yet, it's at: http://earthquakealert2.blogspot.com/2014/04/official-prediction-for-major.html
Landfall of Tropical Cyclone ITA at the far north of Queensland, Australia around Cooktown is all over the news if you type in the name of that storm in a search engine! Now also has its own Wikipedia Page, too!!! @ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclone_Ita AND while I wanted to update the story on there about the earthquake. . . maybe one of you will like to edit Wikipedia a little there and write up the part from my yesterdays EQ Blog about the 7.1 at New Guinea striking at the same exact moment as the eye of that cyclone made landfall. A close examanition of the facts revealed that in the two frames that were posted in the clip at the exact hour of that landfall, the 7.1 would have struck right at the moment the eye-wall itself was contacting land and if it matters the 7.1 earthquakes' epicenter was up amidst the islands where ITA was originated! Not quite sure if that is because the winds pushed Australia west, or if it had something to do with ocean currents, storm surge, or convection?
And in the process of observing all that stuff, there, I also managed to add one more city to the list of places where Major Earthquakes have struck after similar landfalls!!!!! Yes, San Francisco 1906 hit on Day-45 after the landfall of a cyclone at Croydon, Australia on March 4, 1906 with the anniversary of that 1906 Earthquake coming up this time next week on April 18, 2014 it will be 108 years ago!!!!! Hopefully this cyclone did not make landfall at that same "Sweet Spot" if you know what I mean!!!
However it did make landfall just the same and will mean more Major Earthquakes so be watching around the Indian Ocean/Australian Tectonic Plate and the Pacific now for the next 7.6 to 8.1 Richters Earthquake and Be Prepared!!! EQ Guy
