At 5:18pm local time, a 6.6 quake rumbled 312km east of Fukushima, Honshu, Japan. At a depth of 26.5km, I believe this is too deep for tsunami development.
This does come at a time though when the "SUPER" moon has been exerting its' power on the Earth. Our magnetic field has been acting somewhat erratically for the last 60 hours. While I do not believe the moon had any effect, on the occurence of the large quakes near Japan last week, it may have instigated several others.
The series of quakes that I outlined in my previous post, near the Philippines, may be an example. Luckily they avoided disaster, as instead of large quake hitting Manila that I was nervous about, a 5.4 rumbled 87km away. This was reported as causing no major damage or injuries in Manila.
I am following a pair of earthquakes that have happened in southern Xinjiang, China and in the Hindu Kush region of Afghanistan. If this is to be a series, a third could occur in Pakistan or Iran. I would expect it within 48 hours, possibly 96 hours.
The Australian region has finally calmed down after a two week run at constant earthquakes from 5.0-6.0. During that time there was one of 6.5. The "SUPER MOON" is still at close range, so I would not let my guard down in these island nations for the next several days, including Fiji. Please visit an ad if time allows :-)
