6.6 Richters Struck Hokkaido, Japan on Wednesday!!! They're Actually Even Reporting The Fact That Big Typhoon Made Landfall There 2 Days Ago, Too!!! A 3.4 Struck Texas As Hurricane Gordon Was Heading Directly For Them!!!!!

At Press Time I've now got TWO of these earthquakes where there has just been a big windstorm!!! However right at the moment I've got to go with the drawing from Hurricane Gordon with the 3.4 Texas Earthquake directly in line with the "Spaghetti" there!!!
The landfall of Typhoon Jebi at Japan would have been the other one and todays big news, too!!! Big Landfall occurred on Monday Night my time with winds 134 Miles Per Hour and crossing more like an East Northeast direction. . . you could say directly up to that Hokkaido Direction, too!!! Where this 6.6 struck on Wednesday:

Felt report was at 19 on this Japan Earthquake from Wednesday and is currently at 74 total, including 30 from Sapporo, and one each from Sendai and Osaka. That entire felt report will probably be in tomorrows blog due to it currently still growing as you can understand! Here's what I have right now:

6.6 - 26km ESE of Chitose, Japan

2018-09-05 18:07:58 UTC 42.708°N 141.932°E 31.0 km depth

Nearby Places:
16.2 Miles ESE of Chitose, Japan
17.5 Miles ENE of Tomakomai, Japan
26.2 Miles SE of Kitahiroshima, Japan
31.6 Miles ENE of Shiraoi, Japan
38.6 Miles SE of Sapporo, Japan

And there started to be a lot of other earthquakes at this Japan Epicenter including these aftershocks there:

5.4 29km E of Tomakomai, Japan 2018-09-05 16:11
4.6 36km NNW of Shizunai, Japan 2018-09-05 16:04
4.3 34km NW of Shizunai, Japan 2018-09-05 15:20
4.8 26km ESE of Chitose, Japan 2018-09-05 14:10
5.3 24km E of Tomakomai, Japan 2018-09-05 13:20
6.6 27km E of Tomakomai, Japan 2018-09-05 13:07

Couldn't hardly believe this one right in the path of that hurricane heading directly for this region, too, and now made famous by my drawing that started out todays edition! Check out the distance from Baton Rouge near where landfall had been expected, although Gordon eventually turned just enough to strike more near Biloxi:

3.2 - 7km NW of Timpson, Texas
2018-09-04 15:06:46 UTC 31.955°N 94.446°W 5.0 km depth

Nearby Places:
4.6 Miles NW of Timpson, Texas
24.8 Miles ESE of Henderson, Texas
27.2 Miles NNE of Nacogdoches, Texas
38.9 Miles SE of Kilgore, Texas
220.7 Miles WNW of Baton Rouge, Louisiana
And the FELT REPORT is very much relevant, too, due to would you look at those towns!!! Many had been in that path of Tropical Storm Gordon, did I say Hurricane? Gordon was mostly a Tropical Storm and don't actually recall it becoming a "Hurricane" by name, although stay-tuned, because yonder comes CAT-4 Hurricane Florence!!! Here's the Timpson, TX Felt Report:

City.......State...Zip...USA.....................................#......Km
Timpson, TX 75975 United States of America.....11.....12 km
Garrison, TX 75946 United States of America.....3.....17 km
Gary, TX 75643 United States of America...........4.....19 km
Mount Enterprise, TX 75681 United States........1.....20 km
Carthage, TX 75633 United States of America..1.....23 km
Nacogdoches, TX 75964 United States.............1.....46 km

Natchez, MS 39120 United States of America...1....299 km
Fayetteville, AR 72703 United States................1....463 km
Ocean Springs, MS 39564 United States...........1....569 km

THIS will be the new list from Today, with the 5.9 Ecuador starting the list out reading up although not much more happened at the usual press time update, just that 4.4 and more on the 5.9 Ecuador Shaker follows:

4.8 32km E of Rengo, Chile 2018-09-05 15:16
3.8 154km WSW of Challapata, Bolivia 2018-09-04 10:58
4.0 96km SW of Tocopilla, Chile 2018-09-04 15:20
4.8 48km NW of San Martin Andes, Arg. 2018-09-04 00:20
5.9 Off the coast of Ecuador 2018-09-03 23:37:18
4.4 25km ESE of Paracas, Peru 2018-09-03 19:24

THIS isn't where we're expecting this big one to be striking!!! However do note the tectonic plate boundaries all around the Pacific seem to be shaking madly and Ecuador is surely a candidate for more big time shaking, too!!!

5.9 - Off the coast of Ecuador
2018-09-03 23:37:18 UTC 1.452°N 85.229°W 10.4 km depth

Nearby Places:

359.7 Miles WNW of Montecristi, Ecuador
361.0 Miles WNW of Bahía de Caráquez, Ecuador
365.0 Miles West of Muisne, Ecuador

THESE were found shaking around San Francisco on Tuesday:

2.1 1km S of Pleasant Hill, CA 2018-09-04 13:35
1.8 2km SW of Muir Beach, CA 2018-09-04 10:57
2.2 5km NE of Penngrove, CA 2018-09-04 10:50

Of course a small amount of small shakers around L.A.:

1.9 6km S of Littlerock, CA 2018-09-04 12:06:14

1.9 38km WSW of Encinitas, CA 2018-09-04 01:37

This one struck very near Cleveland, although I didn't see Cleveland on the list of nearby places:

1.6 - 6km S of Madison, Ohio
2018-09-04 09:43:37 UTC 41.713°N 81.043°W 5.0 km depth

Nearby Places:

10.5 Miles East of Painesville, Ohio
15.7 Miles ENE of Mentor, Ohio
16.8 Miles SW of Ashtabula, Ohio
158.5 Miles NE of Columbus, Ohio

Just in is the news that there has been a number of landslides related to the Hokkaido, Japan Earthquake and no information has been given out, yet on death tolls!!! I'll have all that in next edition of my EQ Blog as well as the latest on CAT-4 Hurricane Florence as it looks to be headed directly for the Washington, DC/Maryland Region and probably on up through New Jersey and etc.!!! There's going to be some SEISMIC ENERGY generated by THAT, I can tell you that for sure!!! WATCH all of those areas immediately for big time shaking like that 5.9 that followed landfall of Hurricane Irene at Puerto Rico some time ago!!! Those earthquakes. . . are following the big windstorms and we're getting the big windstorms now!!!!! Watch and see for yourself!!!
