scroll to the left side near to japan and wonder^^

Quake frequency is much slower today.

Without release of pressure, things can blow anywhere.

Personal opinion, watch the Washington Coast and Central US today for more movement if the Pacific Rim does not release more energy.

Also, watch the area in Idaho / Yellowstone for signs of magma movement. There is more to this area to Yellowstone and large areas of underground magma tunnels. A 3.6 hit Idaho yesterday.
