NEW MOON UPDATE: The Big Westwood Earthquake of late yesterday was seen on the local 11pm NBC News LIVE!!! And I consider the best part of the whole earthquake deal if there can be a best part of such a shaker. . . it shook in the moments or about an hour after the September New Moon Window STARTED!!! Again the New Moon Window will continue through Wednesday with the exact moment being late Tuesday Pacific Time or around 10:30pm there. And early the next day Central and Universal Time so I won't even go into that to confuse anybody, just runs into very early hours of Thursday.

This USGS Report ran yesterday as part of the update, but here it is again to show about where the location of this epiecenter is. Felt Report with upwards of 8511 total will now be delayed due to Mexico Earthquake:

3.6 - 6km NW of Westwood, California
2017-09-19 06:20:44 UTC

Nearby Places:
3.7 Miles NW of Westwood, CA
4.3 Miles SSW of Sherman Oaks, CA
4.3 Miles NW of Century City, CA
11 Miles WSW of Burbank, CA
12.4 Miles NW of Inglewood, CA
13.7 Miles WNW of Los Angeles, CA

Getting a lot of shaking as I suppose might be expected out there in the Caribbean:

2.8 51km N of Brenas, Puerto Rico 2017-09-20 02:18

2.0 8km NW of Puerto Real, Puerto Rico 2017-09-18 09:43


Illinois 3.6 and Mt. St. Helens Earthquakes now postponed till tomorrow's EQ Blog, for now keep watching into Thursday for more earthquakes associated with the September New Moon!!! With Hurricane Maria making landfall at Puerto Rico right this moment as I write. . . count on plenty more earthquakes to be coming and especially keep watching that already shaky Caribbean but now for a HUGE Earthquake!!! Sorry it has to be right in the middle of all the big windstorms, too!!! And San Francisco/Los Angeles could get more, too, and most notably our East Coast and places such as New Madrid, Illinois, Indiana, and perhaps the Canada Region to the north of our East Coast Region! There are certainly a few earthquakes out there, yet, so we'll keep on watching for those!!!
