Another Big 5.5 On The Richter Scale Struck Near Mt. Kilauea Volcano, Hawaii on Tuesday!!! Also Lots of Shaking at Around Los Angeles, Too!!!

The latest count on the shaking at Hawaii, after that 500 number was reported in the news early this week is now 350 Monday and Tuesday 24 hour period, with 77 at 2.5 and above. That's now as of 9am Tuesday.

Coming up, however not today because I had to work really late and so am not quite finished with several illustrations I'm doing, here's one showing Chicago with the line continuing on past Chicago and onto about where the Mississippi might pass St. Louis, although you can clearly see where the Ohio River meets the Mississippi, so we know that's very near New Madrid but otherwise that lines close to both just the same! You might also see some of Canada there along with about where it will strike Mexico later, too:

And this one just came in and does not yet have the volcano explosion disclaimer along with it. . . but sure it will appear soon at some point! Until then here's Tuesdays "Volcanic Explosion" at Mt. Kilauea in Hawaii:

First one or two here from L.A. Region might be from yesterdays list to keep track accurately. Just now noticed Bloomington and so here's that list! Must say that in the midst of all the volcano activity going on, there remains one great mystery lurking around Los Angeles!!! That was the day the whole entire city awoke to the smell of sulfur!!! And it was never exactly known where it came from, although I must say that there are volcanoes still today in that region, although hopefully not in the shadows of downtown, L.A.!!!!! Here's todays list while we still try to figure that one out:

2.1 4km WNW of Muscoy, CA 2018-06-05 22:30
2.0 6km WSW of Mead Valley, CA 2018-06-05 22:30
0.9 7km WSW of Fontana, CA 2018-06-05 18:15:31
1.1 4km SE of Home Gardens, CA 2018-06-05 15:24
1.0 4km ESE of Bloomington, CA 2018-06-05 14:01
0.9 20km W of Johannesburg, CA 2018-06-05 12:46
1.4 4km S of Sherman Oaks, CA 2018-06-05 12:03

0.9 16km SW of Tehachapi, CA 2018-06-04 14:58

There has also been a 5.4 Azerbaijan and also up there almost exactly where we are watching, as well as earthquakes at Nepal, and Burma. . . 2 more places that you can always count on to shake when something is about to happen!!! Also a 4.8 Greece where we know somebody is going to get a good shaking, and a 4.9 Longyearbyen, Svalbard and Jan Mayen up there around Greenland. Just at press time I noticed a fairly good amount of shaking around Madagascar and don't quite yet know WHY? I'll be looking into that and have more tomorrow!!! Thank-You For Reading!!!
