And Now Some Shaking Around The South of Africa Where We Had Been Watching, And More Shaking Around The Indian Ocean Tectonic Plate!!! UPDATE: 6.4 Taiwan With Major Damage Reported!!!

On Top of all the stories you're going to see here today, JUST IN a 6.4 Taiwan Earthquake virtually same epicenter as Sundays 6.1 with NOW Major Damage reported!!!!! Whole story in tomorrows edition of EQ Blog, now todays previously written blog:

All of the sudden I'm now seeing quite a lot of earthquakes at the exact places we've been WATCHING! That is especially if you consider Iran-Iraq to be one of those places due to being in that region along the tectonic plate boundaries there! All in all even if they do get bigger in that region, let's hope this is the landfall at Philippines we're looking at over there and not an extension of the 7.9 Alaska Earthquake which would then mean they could get bigger. . . I'm hoping they won't:

4.4 - 49km NNE of Kerman, Iran
2018-02-05 23:49:42 UTC 30.694°N 57.270°E 10.0 km depth

Nearby Places
30.5 Miles NNE of Kerman, Iran, Population: 577,514

Another place we've been watching. . . this one struck 550 Miles to the north of Botswana and Mozambique! And we have this here 4.9 at Zambia or D. R. O. T. C:

4.9 - 124km NE of Bukama, Democratic Republic of the Congo
2018-02-05 16:37:48 UTC 8.446°S 26.685°E 10.0 km depth

Nearby Places:
77 Miles NE of Bukama, Democratic Republic of the Congo
117 Miles East of Kamina, Democratic Republic of the Congo
153 Miles WNW of Nchelenge, Zambia
165 South of Kabalo, Democratic Republic of the Congo
167 North of Kambove, Democratic Republic of the Congo

THIS one came in and rang my phone exactly as yesterdays edition had gone to press already and it took me quite a lot longer to figure out where Corcoran, California was. . . but now looks like it's 15 or 20 miles to the East of Kettleman City and maybe 50 or 75 Miles East-Northeast of Paso Robles. This here is the felt report from that one:

3.6 - 12km SW of Corcoran, CA
2018-02-05 06:43:15 UTC 36.015°N 119.653°W

And here's this weeks: 6.1 Richters Afghanistan "Earthquake Minute" For February 2, 2018, Video From Studio, CLICK Arrow: Now See at YouTube@ https://youtu.be/NsxQlVbU4RI And The Transcript is@ http://earthquakealert3.blogspot.com/2018/02/61-richters-afghanistan-earthquake.html

Of course there's some shaking on the way for New Zealand, too!!! Looks like it's now already getting started there:

5.2 Offshore North Island of New Zealand 2018-02-05 09:25
4.5 18km ESE of Wairoa, New Zealand 2018-02-04 18:15

Here's another version of the report on Sundays 6.1 Taiwan Earthquake and you can see Manila, Philippines made this list of nearby places, too!!! And by the way the epicenter was 10 Miles North-Northeast of Hualien, Taiwan:

== PRELIMINARY EARTHQUAKE REPORT ==

Region: TAIWAN
Magnitude: 6.1
Universal Time (UTC): Feb. 4, 2018 13:56:41
Time near the Epicenter: Feb. 4, 2018 21:56:41

37 Miles SSW (199 degrees) of Su-ao, Taiwan
63 Miles East (93 degrees) of T'ai-chung, Taiwan
657 Miles North (4 degrees) of MANILA, Philippines

Alaska, but it seems to keep right on shaking, too:

3.6 256km ESE of Kodiak, Alaska 2018-02-05 15:26
2.8 280km SE of Kodiak, Alaska 2018-02-05 13:59
4.0 259km ESE of Kodiak, Alaska 2018-02-05 13:22
3.8 234km SE of Kodiak, Alaska 2018-02-05 11:27
3.3 287km SE of Kodiak, Alaska 2018-02-05 11:16
2.7 276km SE of Kodiak, Alaska 2018-02-05 05:11
2.6 245km ESE of Kodiak, Alaska 2018-02-04 21:58

Todays theme seems to have been all the places that we are currently watching for Major Earthquakes. . . and there have now been quite a lot of them at or very near those places! Let's keep watching especially Botswana, Mozambique, and Italy/Greece/Turkey, etc. for more and bigger shaking, yet!!! We'll need to keep an eye on Taiwan for more, but this movement could now affect Japan, Alaska, West Coast, and California!!! Especially watch around that long overdue San Bernardino segment of the San Andreas Fault!!!
