The daily earthquake list is long today, and has been every day of late. The reason, Hawai'i and the constant eruption of Kilauea. Over 200 quakes on the big island so far today. None are above 4 so there has been no recent blast from the main crater but with 200+ quakes, the lava must be flowin'.
The rest of today's list covers much of the Earth's plate boundaries but 5.0 is tops, so far. Anomalies in the US include, the Big Bend region of Texas (actually in Mexico), Raton Pass on the CO/NM border and western North Carolina. Of course, there are quakes in Oklahoma, thanks frackers!! And, just a reminder for Yellowstone watchers, there was another quake up that way, too. That will make Fuego and Kilauea look like tiny baby blasts...when it happens...let's hope in the distant, distant future.
And, while there is no predicting of earthquakes by we humans, there has been a long respite since there has been a large quake on the shifting, shaky planet. Seems like we are overdue a big energy release, pressures can only build for so long before...well, we all know what's going to happen. The unsettling fun is when. Hope your part of the planet remains unshaken, Today On Earth.
But, with a combo of Verizon service being crap and google being, well, google, this may never get published, both are likely more concerned with mining my info than publishing this blog. Both suck, and don't care...because they are too big to have to care.
