Just a quick note. It seems a group of small sunspots has emerged on the Sun. When there is a group of sunspots on the sun, there is always a possibility of a solar flare. What we don't want during the peak of the suns' cycle is a CME or solar flare. The most advance notice of a CME or solar flare, with directed energy towards Earth, use to be 12 hours. Now with more advanced sattellites in place we could have up to 24 hrs. notice. If one of these struck the Earth, that was as powerful as the 1800's one, there would for sure be related deaths.

Now that the full moon has passed and it's power lessening, we should see the danger for medium to large quakes reduced for the time being. The sun is near its' peak cycle, so we still will see the tiny and small quakes continue in their normal unusual places. This means in or near ancient faults and volcanic areas, which will generally be 3.5 or less. The southeastern "Ring of Fire", west coast of South America, and Mid-Atlantic Ocean should continue to see medium sized quakes. These have been normal all 2011, but close attention must be paid to the pattern and frequency to determine additional danger. Please visit a sponsor ;-)
