Quake Update : Current News on Earthquakes and the Moon

The current earthquake outlook for the next 24 hrs. is a difficult one. My last outlook I was monitoring quakes in the  magnitude of 2.0 to 4.0, now I am looking at 4.0 to 6.0. We are possibly looking at one in the range of 5.0 to 5.5, happening in certain areas of CA.  Active areas with light activity are the east SF Bay area / south of San Jose and from LA to SD. I could see a moderate quake happening in the area between Bakersfield and Santa Barbara. 


Combined with the effects described in yesterdays update, the moons constant electromagnetic pressure in volcanic and seismic areas is becoming evident. New Madrid has not increased activity, but along the same fault line, up on the border of Ontario and Quebec they had a 4.3 quake. The Northern Rockies are grumbling abit with the biggest a 3.0 and Mt. St. Helens region is grumbling with the biggest a 3.0. The Domincan Republic was grumbling also with the largest a 4.0, but then followed it up with a 5.4 . All these areas should remain monitored.


Now with just plate pressures that we described yesterday, out off the east coast of Australia there was a 6.3, 5.0-6.0 are normal. Chile had a 5.1 just offshore and there was a 4.8 out between Bermuda and Portugal in the Atlantic, which is strange, but happens once in awhile. The quakes remain constant from 4.0 to 5.0 for Central America and off the west Mexico coast. All of these areas are normal and raise no alarm.


Japan is continuing to have many aftershocks ranging from 5.0 to 6.0 roughly. They may be averaging one an hour. Sometimes they stop for several hours, but then catch up in just a couple of hours.


California and Nevada are an ongoing situation. The activity is picking up now over the last 24 hours, but I believe not heading to moderate quakes. It looks like the area is receiving mounting pressure and dispersing it like normally does. If pressure picks up more, there may be some 3.0 to 4.0 quakes in The Bay Area and between LA/SD. These are small quakes and will only rattle local shelves. With that being said, this increase in pressure could produce a 5.0 to 5.5 . If not between Bakersfield and Santa Barbara, north of The Bay Area in the Eureka direction or down near the SD / Mexican border area. This will all change in 24 hours though :-)
