Still A Major Shaker Out There!!!

We will still be watching for the potential seismic energy from the landfall of Hurricane Jimena at Baja California on Sept. 2. Day 30 will be October 3 and Day 40 will be October 12 after that landfall and these are a range of dates when a great deal of these major earthquakes follow after the landfall of a major windstorm such as Jimena was. Although note that there was not a lot of damage reported and strong winds blowing across grass and marsh tends to not generate quite as much seismic energy. Lets still be watching for a 7.5 Richters Magnitude shaker and except I no longer expect this to affect Nepal, Kathmandu, etc, due to the fact that this type of potential seismic energy travels and has by now gone far past that tectonic plate boundary up in that region. As of this morning there was a 6 Richters shaker at Macquarie Island indicating significant movement of the Indian Ocean/Australian Tectonic Plate now increasing the risk of this major earthquake striking our West Coast, California, Mexico, and Central America in the coming week or so. Of course there could be some more additional shaking down in that Australia, Pacific Islands, Java region. Thank-You, again for reading!!! The EQ Alert Guy
