Action Closer to Me
As I live in California, it makes it easier for me if I keep them in the list where I can see what’s shaking near me.
Here is an alternative view of things with the fault lines highlighted:

A good thing that this was far from civilization. One that size in a densely populated area can be a major killer.

@Keith DeHavelle:
I’m expecting to see a propagation toward the Cascadia over the next couple of years. I’d not want to be living in the area between this quake and, oh, Portland Oregon, for the next decade or so…
South America / Chile? Check.
Australia / New Zealand? Check.
Japan? Check
Kamchatcka? Check
Aleutians? Check
Cascadia? Cascadia? Cascadia? (In your best Ben Stein voice…)
(Would not be surprised to see an L.A. or a Berkeley / East Bay California quake of about 6.8 first, though. They historically have a relationship with Cascadia too…)
Just for the fun, Piers Corbyn once again has a red quake/solar alert for the 27 of June up to the 2nd of July (Climate Realists)
Solomans picked up a 6.3 and

But I’ve gotten so used to them having 5.x and 6.x scale that I tend to not really pay much attention… even though I ought to…
If we look at the results, is that an Optical Aleutian?
@Chuckles
Nawww… since we’re writing about it, it must be a Literary Aleutian.
Glad to clear that up for you.

Have you seen this, ocean hydrothermal which reaches up 1500m!!!
ROFLOL!
Japan –> Aleutions–> Juan de Fuca?–> San Francisco BIG ONE?
Bet this one is also going to set off some Alaskan and Russian volcanoes. If the Great Pacific Quake Wheel keeps turning in a clockwise fashion, Seattle and Washington State had better start blowing some snow and ice off those mountains (especially the volcanic ones).
Daily record (115 days and 1060 earthquakes later) shows there is no conclusive evidence of a direct link between eqs occurrence and geomagnetic activity, despite two interesting patches which amount to ~ 50% of the current record (7 March – 4 April and 15 April -15 May) Degree of certainty is still uncertain .

Just ‘entered’ a cmt that I think the ‘Dirty Word Catcher’ thinks was bad and sent me to moderation? (It wasn’t, but I think it thinks it was;-)
PS: Haven’t been sent to the corner like this in a long time, not as bad as I remember. (Yet;-)
PPS: Maybe something that I forgot happened all the time, getting old, can’t remember as well as I could; seems new, to me. Getting dumber by the day.
@Pascvaks:
I have no idea. Name and IP match with what got through. Nothing in a content filter that I could see.
Sometimes WordPress does things that are completely inexplicable to me.
Regarding natural disasters and our propensity to make them worse:
We live about 60 miles ENE of Mt. Rainier and 175 miles from the Pacific Coast of Wash. State. It is not unreasonable to expect the former to blow, as did Mt. Saint Helens. When the quake hits expect the coast to jump up and down 10+ feet as it has done before. They have not, to my knowledge, been linked in a close timeframe. Where we live will not be greatly affected by the quake nor the resulting tsunami as would those west of the Cascades and near the coast. When Mt. Saint Helens blew we lived in Idaho – 250 miles east of the summit. We received about 3/8 inch of very fine particles – so called ash. This is nasty stuff – glass, like a Christmas tree ornament pulverized. Such, but worse, would be our fate if Mt. Rainier goes. West of the mountain are flat-floored valleys that have been filled with the lahars of previous eruptions.

Use Google Earth and go to Orting, WA for a community in the path. They know the risk:

So, our Nation wastes millions of dollars on climate related bs while children go to schools that are so old they will fall apart in a major quake, not to mention a mega-quake. We do other dumb things. Take a look at Minot, ND. where ¼ of the town is soon to be flooded. There are subdivisions built on the land inside cut-off meanders.

This is space that belongs to the river – why would anyone build a house there?
Have a cheerful day.
