2.4 Richters Earthquake Struck Southern Illinois Early Monday Morning!!! Several Earthquakes Now Striking South America Region!!!

There was an updated version of the following USGS Report, but very little difference so here's the early edition absent name of nearby town which I suppose might have been closer than Scottsville, and Mount Vernon, Illinois which all in all is a fairly tiny region and name of small mining town from 1800's won't affect the following information too much beyond that:

Here's a surprising number of earthquakes around that upcoming Major Earthquake Epicenter in South America and still always surprises me to click on that page and see this whole bunch of earthquakes there like this:

My research into that very subject turned up this here illustration, although I can't be sure these are all fault lines, it does appear to be Rio and I'll have more about this in later blogs:

Here's a Great Story about all the earthquakes up in Alaska!!! Could Be "Glacier Shakers"@ http://www.ktuu.com/content/news/Alaska-earthquake-swarm-probably-not-earthquakes-at-all-389406022.html

If those are all fault lines, stay-tuned. . . . . because I will be telling you what to expect and in the meantime, be expecting more earthquakes around South America!!! EQ Guy
