The CentralVaEquakeZone is quiet but much of the rest of the planet is shaking. A 7.6 quake in Costa Rica Wednesday leads the list but every day for a couple of weeks the quake list is long and diverse. Several different areas of Indonesia (of course), aftershocks, after a big quake, continue in the Philippines, dozens of small shakes offshore of the Virgin Islands and one at 5.4, the Aleutians, California, Turkey, on and on and on. The mid-ocean ridges are even doing lots of shifting about - that seems to ultimately be the driving force so I'm guessing things will not be slowing down anytime soon.
But, then guessing about earthquakes...always a bad idea. They will happen and there is not much we can do about it but hang on (although less fracking seems like a good idea) . We are hoping our zone is calm for another hundred years or so.
