Sorry to have to be the person who tells so many people that there now appears to be MAJOR EARTHQUAKES heading for some fairly heavilly populated places!!! It's not bad enough that we have to continue watching areas around Texas as Hurricane Harvey continues on as a Tropical Storm, but now I must announce some serious earthquake stuff, as well. LOOKS like a straightline will be crossing to the South of Seattle around Tacoma and Lakewood, Washington and close to Mt. Rainer as well as crossing very near Boise. We can more or less count on that shaky Seattle Region now getting LOTS of Earthquake Action!!! As of press time I have not come up with an exact magnitude for Seattle, but am going to say 7-Plus!!! Not sure right at the moment if the landfall of Hurricane Harvey will be one BIG Earthquake. . . or similar to landfall of Hurricane Katrina which continued on as a Hurricane for MANY Hours and produced many, many aftershocks at Islamabad. I'll update soon with a better guess for the EXACT Magnitude we're watching for.
Again, due to the fact that even NOW, we're still looking at "Tropical Storm Harvey" and I almost want to say still big enough that some more shakers could even result from 40 to 60 miles per hour winds, although those aren't numbers, they're numbers that could produce earthquakes such as Oklahoma, New Madrid, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio Region due to being so close to that continuing big windstorm!!! Certain to get earthquakes in all of those regions that will likely duplicate all the wind damage that may well be continuing in Louisiana and beyond!!! That's the sum total of what's going on with earthquakes today!!!
Fairly big earthquake struck not too far from Tokyo on Sunday, with Tokyo and Sendai showing up on the felt report which follows:
5.0 - 4km NW of Kitaibaraki, Japan

Here's the transcript for this weeks new "Hurricane Harvey Pacifica Earthquake Minute" at EQ Blog-3@ http://earthquakealert3.blogspot.com/2017/08/hurricane-harvey-pacifica-earthquake.html
Here's a series of earthquakes that looked sort of major on the map there, all clustered around San Francisco Bay Area, but now it mostly looks like a 2.6 Berkeley and some smaller ones there:
1.4 4km NNW of Orinda, California 2017-08-30 04:18
2.6 2km E of Berkeley, California 2017-08-30 00:10
1.0 4km NNW of Orinda, California 2017-08-29 19:44
1.7 4km NNW of Orinda, California 2017-08-29 18:16
1.4 4km NNW of Orinda, California 2017-08-29 18:04
1.2 1km NNW of San Leandro, CA 2017-08-29 05:40
And there have now been 17 small shakers in the last seven days at the Mount St. Helens area including these on Tuesday:
0.9 25km S of Morton, Washington 2017-08-29 21:13
0.5 16km S of Morton, Washington 2017-08-29 14:39
1.3 20km NNW of Amboy, Washington 2017-08-29 07:47
There have been 85 other small shaker along with this one at Southern California:
2.5 8km NE of Aguanga, CA 2017-08-29 16:44:31 (UTC)
Finally, in the rush to get this edition to press. . . I must also mention the line to the north beyond Seattle goes directly THROUGH Tokyo and Honshu, Japan!!! Most likely that region is now certain to be looking at their very next BIG EARTHQUAKE, too!!! Again, let's say 7-Plus!!! And hope we won't be looking at 7.9 but with Harvey. . .you don't really know what will happen next!!! And we'll also need to watch the other side of the Harvey line to the south and through a few Central America countries such as Nicaragua, Hondurus, and Coasta Rica and onto Ecuador where an earlier reading of the straight line had come out at Columbia, so we know a 7-Plus Magnitude Earthquake is probably going to strike those regions in the near future, too!!! Be watching for all these shakers, now, Everybody!!!
