That 5.2 Mt. Kilauea Earthquake That Was Supposed To Strike Around NOON on Thursday. . . Actually Just Hit There a Short Time Before Press Time Late Thursday!!! WHEN Will That Next Illusive Shaker Be Ready To Strike Mt. Kilauea Again, Now???

Here's that "Volcanic Explosion" that you might recall was due on Thursday around noon Central Time. . . well this time it turned out to be more like 9:30pm Central Time, or actually quite a few hours later than they've been happening!!! But it did make it soon enough that here it is in Fridays EQ Blog and well BEFORE press time, too!!! In fact as I'm posting this info, it hasn't yet even came to my phone which I will expect to be ringing with this 5.3 in about the coming hour or so!!! Here's the version off the list of latest earthquakes:

5.2 Volcanic Eruption - 5km WSW of Volcano, Hawaii
2018-07-20 02:33:01 UTC 19.411°N 155.282°W 0.9 km depth

Description: "This earthquake was associated with a minor explosion and rockfall that occurred around 4:33PM Thursday, July 19, 2018 local time from Halema'uma'u crater. No emissions were observed above the crater."

Meanwhile the running total of all earthquakes 719, and the number of shakers at Mt. Kilauea 2.5 and bigger was at 437 as I was saving the above information. Also now calling the attached valuable info the description. . . all the long knowing it wasn't actually a disclaimer as I've been refering to it for quite some time now. Try to rename it description if I think of it.

There had also been a 6.0 Alaska Islands, 5.1 Columbia with currently 187 felt reports and a big 6.0 at Papua New Guinea, too, as far as the areas we're watching for a quite bigger Earthquake Event to be headed although some of those areas are currently only looking at around Day 10 and we'll be watching for this one a while, yet.

Now in addition to the 2.0 that came in at press time yesterday. . . I've discovered several others in the San Francisco Bay Region all seems to have been on Wednesday, and now updated prior to press time Friday:

1.2 2km NNE of Millbrae, CA 2018-07-19 01:43
2.0 4km E of Hayward, CA 2018-07-19 00:20
1.1 3km NNE of Pacifica, CA 2018-07-18 20:00
1.0 8km ENE of San Martin, CA 2018-07-18 18:30
1.5 9km ENE of San Martin, CA 2018-07-18 17:23
0.9 6km SW of Gilroy, CA 2018-07-18 15:26
1.1 10km E of Alum Rock, CA 2018-07-18 08:19
0.9 6km NE of San Martin, CA 2018-07-18 06:27
0.8 20km NNE of Morgan Hill, CA 2018-07-18 06:20

Final on the felt report from the Hayward Earthquake that came in late Thursday and I now see it's a 1.8 there, too:

1.8 - 3km E of Hayward, CA
2018-07-19 05:20:26 UTC 4.0 km depth

City....State...Zip...USA.................................#......Km
Hayward, CA 94544 United States of America.........2.....7 km
Castro Valley, CA 94552 United States of America...1....10 km

THIS one also came in very close to press time yesterday, although it might have been an hour or so earlier and probably no felt report since it's just under the level of shaking usually needed for a report there, this is Catalina Island:

1.7 - 22km N of Avalon, CA
2018-07-18 18:54:25 UTC -0.2 km depth

Nearby Places:
13.7 Miles North of Avalon, CA
14.3 Miles South of Rancho Palos Verdes, CA
14.3 Miles SSW of San Pedro, CA
14.9 Miles South of Rolling Hills, CA
16.8 Miles South of Rolling Hills Estates, CA

In the final moments of throwing todays EQ Blog together, just happen to spot this one up in Wyoming!!! Check out the list of nearby places:

2.5 - 47km ENE of Rock Springs, Wyoming
2018-07-19 22:14:11 UTC 41.690°N 108.648°W 5.0 km depth

Nearby Places:
7.1 Miles East of Point of Rocks, Wyoming
29.6 Miles ENE of Rock Springs, Wyoming
43.8 Miles ENE of Green River, Wyoming
93.1 Miles South of Riverton, Wyoming
180.7 Miles ENE of Salt Lake City, Utah

As it gets more near press time for Fridays Edition the pressure is on for me to have the next "Prediction" and just a little extra nerve wracking because this is the one which might hit the airwaves on our show Friday!!! So, I'll just have to add a few hours for extra measure and know it'll be late due to this here previous one now not striking until so late! Saturday Morning around 8am Central Time!!! That's 5.3 at Mt. Kilauea, Hawaii. . . Watch for it and have a Great Weekend, Everybody!!!!!
