I've done some additional research over the last couple days and have more clearly identified the location of those Islands of Vanuatu as well as the line that tracked through the islands for a more precise idea of where exactly this upcoming possible Major Earthquake might strike!
First take a look at these two outtakes from the film clip of Super Cyclone Pam tracking directly through the islands! First one with the cyclone approaching alongside Port Villa and the next pic as Cyclone Pam exits the Vanuatu Region on a straight line towards New Zealand where all of this Earthquake Energy appears it might be headed and keep in mind the Fiji Region just off to the east has been shaking a lot since these pics: In the above pic you can clearly see the Islands of Vanuatu outlined with the "Eye of the Storm" right there!!! Following pic is harder to see, but the eye has moved to the south considerably: According to my calculations it looks like it may not matter either way if the Islands of Vanuatu are on either tectonic plate. If they are on the Pacific Tectonic Plate Fiji will be shaking and they will push against the Australian Tectonic Plate, but the plate boundary also runs DIRECTLY THROUGH in between the North and South Islands of New Zealand so this will lead to some shaking at that point in between there or very near Christchurch. If they are on the Australian Tectonic Plate that will push down on the Australian Tectonic Plate it is a given! This will have basically the same effect although it will guarantee Macquarie Island will shake, too as well as increase the likelihood of Wellington getting more shaking due to being near a north, south slip type fault region. All in all not a lot of difference other than Macquarie Island shaking or the island where the 8.1 Richters foreshock of Sumatra 2004 shook. . . and I suppose if and when they shake it will probably mean some sort of repeat of either Indonesia or Japan. Such movement of the Indio/Australian Tectonic Plate could also lead all the way up into Sichuan, China and places such as Nepal and I noticed late on Sunday Turkmenistan had a 5 Magnitude Earthquake so that is like that region. Monday will be Day-10 after the landfall of Cyclone Pam and it is getting on in the days as far as being about time for New Zealand to start shaking already!!! Watch There!!!
Also continue to watch around California, West Coast, Vancouver Island, and Alaska because the Pacific Plate is continuing to move in that direction with a few more small shakers at Nicaragua over the weekend! Not real big, but could release a little more than that, yet! Be Prepared!!! EQ Guy
