Yet Another In Now Long Series of Big Earthquakes That Have Been Striking at Mt. Kilauea, Hawaii Struck on Wednesday, Too!!! WILL The "Summer Solstice" Have Any Effect On That Big Hawaii Volcano, There???

As far as NOT making a prediction for Wednesday. . . I'd have probably been LESS than an hour off on this one, although currently no new predictions such as this one in the works! It shook Hawaii just a little earlier than they've been hitting and yes they are still a little difficult to predict there, too!!! Here's Wednesdays "Volcanic Explosion". . . as one might have "Predicted":

5.3 Volcanic Eruption - 5km WSW of Volcano, Hawaii
2018-06-20 14:22:23 UTC 19.415°N 155.286°W 0.2 km depth

And Wednesdays Disclaimer: "This earthquake was associated with a minor ash explosion that occurred around 4:22 AM Wednesday, June 20th local time from Halema'uma'u crater. Only very weak emissions were observed at low levels above the crater."

This one came in early Wednesday from Coronado Island Region as you can see on the list of nearby places there and the felt report might follow, too:

3.5 - 35km WSW of Coronado, CA

This earthquake is notable due to being situated directly on that tectonic plate boundary of the Arabian Plate there:

4.6 - 33km NE of Massawa, Eritrea
2018-06-19 14:06:27 UTC 10.0 km depth

Nearby Places:
19.7 Miles NE of Massawa, Eritrea
59.5 Miles NE of Asmara, Eritrea

Not that unusual, but keep watching this New Madrid Region because there's a 6 Magnitude headed directly for this area and they get them!!!

2.4 - 11km NNW of Tiptonville, Tennessee
2018-06-19 19:09:32 UTC 8.8 km depth

Nearby Places
2.4 Miles ENE of Point Pleasant, Missouri
26.8 Miles West of Union City, Tennessee
28.5 Miles South of Sikeston, Missouri
30.9 Miles NNW of Dyersburg, Tennessee
154.9 Miles West of Nashville, Tennessee

These are not all the same epicenter, although all just in and all Tonga!!! That's the Pacific Tectonic Plate there, too:

5.4 47km WSW of Hihifo, Tonga 2018-06-21 02:03
5.4 119km S of `Ohonua, Tonga 2018-06-20 23:23
4.3 37km S of Ndoi Island, Fiji 2018-06-20 12:41

Although it might not usually have much affect on the tectonic plates, keep in mind the Summer Solstice will strike at exactly 5:07 a.m. CDT in North America on Thursday June 21. It had been thought that it was the day the world ceased turning north such as the result of it being the LONGEST DAY. Now, however I beleive I've seen some tiny results of the exact moment and so let us watch Thursday and see what will happen with earthquakes? I'll watch as that exact moment arrives. . . and passes to see if and when anything shakes and looks like it's associated with the solstice. Something at that exact moment would be a clue, so let's be watching!!! AND see what effect "Summer Solstice" might have on Mt. Kilauea, too!!!
