Well, We Were Watching Tonga For Some Shaking. . . And They Have Now Gotten Some Shaking, But Let's Be Careful There, And Watch For Possibly a Much Bigger One There, Yet!!! Also Some Shaking Around Dominican Republic/Puerto Rico, Too!!!

Due to that landfall at Tonga of Super Cyclone Gita on February 12 we've been watching there for some shaking. . . And today I want to report there's NOW been some shaking there, or at least the general region there! Keep watching that region for a much bigger one just the same, though:

4.9 186km SSE of `Ohonua, Tonga 2018-03-04 07:45
4.9 232km S of `Ohonua, Tonga 2018-03-04 07:36

4.5 161km WNW of Neiafu, Tonga 2018-03-01 13:42

Would you look at all the shaking around Puerto Rico, too, although at least one really big alert is going on over in that region so we do need to sort of watch for something, although it's more for Panama/Columbia. . . there's a lot of movement in this nearby region so one might guess they could be susceptible to something bigger there, too:

Here's the felt report from that 2.0 Newport Beach Shaker on Friday:

Hadn't seen the windspeeds of big Severe Winter Storm out there on the East Coast, but it IS possible this one at or near Charleston, North Carolina could be related to all that is going on out East there! This is the felt report from it and it just so happened to have come in as that storm was doing all that damage, too!!!:

2.4 - 5km S of Centerville, South Carolina
2018-03-02 09:24:48 UTC 32.955°N 80.167°W

Nearby Places:

Valinda, CA 4.0 km (2.5 mi) SSW
Avocado Heights, CA 4.0 km (2.5 mi) SE
South San Jose Hills, CA 5.0 km (3.1 mi) W

And I noticed these late on Friday just past the end of the traditional Full Moon Window but possibly still of some importance:

1.7 16km SE of Buttonwillow, CA 2018-03-02 23:19
1.3 3km W of Panorama City, CA 2018-03-02 21:24

1.1 13km SE of Tehachapi, CA 2018-03-02 12:49

So, if anybody was wondering what the added effect of the Full Moon was. . . you can sure tell it by all the earthquakes I had to report on today that's for sure!!! Keep watching especially around Tonga and Panama for more, and New Zealand should be getting something around a 7.8 fairly soon, too!!!
