7.1 Richters Earthquake Struck South Sandwich Islands Region North of Bristol Island In The South Atlantic!!!

In keeping with the fact that there remains some movement of the Tectonic Plates, here's a big one that rang my phone on Monday Night! Out there where the waters from the Pacific wash into the Atlantic as you can see by all the nearby places in Chile and Argentina!!! So we know we'll sure need to keep watching for things to be shaking! Here's the USGS on Sandwich Islands 7.1 Monday:

Now Here's: 3000 Anchorage, Alaska Aftershocks "Earthquake Minute" VIDEO of December 7, 2018!!! CLICK Arrow:Watch 3000 Anchorage at YouTube@ https://youtu.be/_9wfSdeWq7A Transcript is at@ https://earthquakealert3.blogspot.com/2018/12/now-3000-anchorage-earthquake-minute.html

For anybody who seriously follows the effects of the added pull from the full and new moons, here's the now FINAL list of all the shaking at New Caledonia and I converted the list to Central Time so we can review the relationship with New Moon which ended around 1am Saturday Morning, December 8 reading UP:

5.1 141km ESE of Tadine, New Caledonia 2018-12-09 14:37
4.6 194km ESE of Tadine, New Caledonia 2018-12-09 01:03
4.9 172km ESE of Tadine, New Caledonia 2018-12-08 04:17

Here's the link to that "Trona Railway" that I discussed in last edition, it's a small railway that mostly runs up there in the salt mines of that desert region just northwest of Death Valley and as I said along the old road to Vegas!!! Great scenery up that way just the same, though with some small mountains between all the desert valleys@ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trona_Railway

And here's "JFK City" Story as I promised in yesterdays EQ Blog! It turns out they changed the name of "Bay City, Alaska" in the days following Kennedys Assasination, but it was never to big of a town, so now it looks like it might be a "Ghost Town"@ https://www.adn.com/voices/article/across-knik-arm-city-never-was/2010/02/04/

Speaking of that, there is curently around 150 small shakers in that Anchorage Region right now with 16 at 2.5 and bigger!!! Must say they're getting LOT of snow in Carolinas Region and could produce more shaking at already shaky edge of North American Tectonic Plate!!! Be Watching for that!!!
