Here's The Felt Report From the 4.2 England Earthquake over this weekend!!! With Upwards of 10,000 Felt Reports from All Over England, France, and Ireland, too!!!@ http://earthquakealert.blogspot.com/2018/02/42-richters-earthquake-struck-england.html

When you add it all up, it almost looks like Los Angeles should be watching for something to be shaking, but on the surface it appears to be just a lot of probably severe winter conditions causing the tectonic plate boundary between North America and the Pacific Plates. . . and Mexico is shaking a lot as the result! Don't forget there IS a big alert for Panama, and Columbia but I really doubt if that has too much to do with why Mexico is getting it! And if it has anything to do with that big landfall of Super Cyclone Gita at Tonga, then L.A. could become involved, but still nothing headed directly for there. . . just bothers me they are getting all that shaking so let us watch there and pretty much all of California just to be safe!!!
