6.8 Richters Earthquake Struck Near Quito, Ecuador!!! Now Looks Like Possibly ALSO a 6.7 Has Struck There Even Earlier on Wednesday!!!

I'll have to update this here right now even before it goes to press and am changing the lead paragraph before sending it so that am sorry if further down it discusses the unknown magnitude of this big Ecuador Earthquake that struck on Wednesday. . . because it now turns out to have been TWO EARTHQUAKES!!! Therefore on this occasion the updated magnitudes are all mixed up and you'll just have to read on to figure it all out the same way I had to do it!!! I can tell you what the facts are that I have about all of this latest one that has now already changed magnitudes enough times that I've now had several E-Mail notifications and two of those have already been UPDATES!!! Here is the USGS Report on the bigger of the two, actually the earlier one as I'll go into more detail on later:

This Weeks "Video Earthquake Minute" CLICK Arrow: WATCH Mt. St. Helens "Earthquake Minute" at YouTube @ https://youtu.be/fsH2Uv25rEA And See Transcript@ http://earthquakealert3.blogspot.com/2016/05/mt-st-helens-video-earthquake-minute.html Possible new Pacifica Radio Network Edition of "Earthquake Minute" coming soon!!! Stay Tuned for a possible very exciting one!!!

That big entire list of all the earthquakes at Mount Hood, Oregon can now be seen at Earthquake Central@ http://eqalert.blogspot.com/2016/05/mount-hood-swarm-now-in-its-entirety-at.html

There is also as of right now a big, if you want to call it that, list of all the Mount Saint Helens earrthquakes but might need to double check if it's accurate. . . or perhaps it was actually started before that SEVEN DAY window??? Anyways, here's that now updated list of Mt. St. Helens Shakers at Earthquake Central@ http://eqalert.blogspot.com/2016/05/total-list-of-all-mt-st-helens.html May 2016 Full Moon Window about to begin at 4:17pm Pacific Time on Friday, May 20 with the exact moment being on Saturday afternoon.

Keep watching all of this Volcano Swarm stuff for a possible very exciting Volcano Eruption!!! Which is probably not going to happen due to the earthquakes they are getting up that way not actually being large enough to warrant too much concern, and I've honestly seen both of these extinct volcanoes go through such phases before and as of yet hasn't happened! But of course it will someday!!! EQ Guy
