First, I'm writing today due to being about the end of the February 2024 "New Moon Window" which began late Thursday February 9 at 23:01 Universal Time or 5:01pm (Central Time) with the Exact Moment of the New Moon on Friday at 5:01pm and running at 24 hours before and after Exact Moment, until Saturday at 5:01pm Central Time.
As I left the newsroom prior to Fridays Show on local Community Radio was when the 4.6 Richters Malibu Earthquake struck!! And if you heard this weeks show you know we had discussed the fact that Malibu was particularly susceptible to getting at least some sort of shaker after all that rain which said on the show upwards of one foot of rain in many of the local towns!
Turns out both that Malibu Shaker and one that struck bout hour and 40 minutes prior to Malibu struck Hawaii at 5.7 on the Richter Scale while the February New Moon Window began the day before 5pm, and exact moment was bout one hour after the Malibu, and two hours after Hawaii, there! Well within the range of what I personally call the New Moon Window or 24 hours before, and 24 hours after the exact moment which happened half-hour after the show!!! As i always like to say watch for earthquakes in that New Moon Window and today we have TWO to discuss!!
Often such earthquakes are followed by aftershocks and tend to fall as this window comes to an end which it did few hours ago Central Time however on this occasion, of course, Hawaii will likely continue with aftershocks especially because lot of shakers could be expected to continue considering the very shaky nature of the situation there! Conversely regarding Malibu. . . the last notable one such as could likely be felt all over Los Angeles WAS just 40 Minutes after that Exact Moment!! 8 tiny ones shook there since then the largest a 2.0!!!
We'll still need to keep watching to see what the Las Vegas Super Bowl Shaker will turn out to be, however the New Moon Window has ended as far as I'm concerned while a few other earthquake folks like to say three days is still added pull, and are still looking at FOOT of rain in many of those towns around the California Region which are very shaky!!! So, be watching for some "Super Bowl Shaking"!
