I want to assure you all that this was not what todays EQ Blog was supposed to be about!!! Hurricane Joaquin is now going over the 100 mile per hour mark and has a long way to go as it looks like it will continue to increase speed as it tracks along the Bahamas. In fact the latest winds were 125 as of 10am, and it is now currently a CAT-3!!! The very latest on Hurricane Joaquin as of 10am Central Time on Thursday is that it looks like it WILL Make a CAT-4 today!!! Did anybody say it was possible it could become a CAT-5???
BAD NEWS!!! For one thing there was that Landfall Of Hurricane Irene at Puerto Rico on August 21, 2011. . . which was of course quickly followed by the Richmond, Virginia Earthquake that shook Washington DC and damaged the Washington Monument at 5.8 Richters two days after that landfall on August 23, 2011.
WORSE NEWS!!! Hurricane Isabel was CAT-5 with winds 233mph and made landfall at North Carolina on September 18, 2003 although downgraded at landfall it was followed as all my best readers probably already have figured out, by a 8.3 Richters Japan Earthquake on September 23, 2003!!! THIS is the situation we are now facing and you can bet you will be hearing more about all this as that huge Hurricane Joaquin heads up the Atlantic directly for our East Coast!!!
Probably most important of all is to remember Hurricane Irene as it tracked past Puerto Rico did enough damage to probably be a factor in that 5.8 Richters Washington, DC Earthquake of 2011 and Hurricane Joaquin could easily do the same with Nassau or Bahamas!!!!! WATCH For DC or East Coast Earthquakes starting NOW!!! EQ Guy
