smaller quakes had shaken the city earlier in the week, but that "those were 2 sharp jolts."

12.1 km is quite shallow

Thank you! Got one more:

2005/13/6: 7.8 Tarapaca,Chile
2005/15/6: 7.1 Off Coast of Northern California

2010/10/1: 6.5 Offshore Northern California
2010/27/2: 8.8 Offshore Maule, Chile

2014/10/3: 6.9 Offshore Northern California
2014/16/3: 6.7 Tarapaca,Chile
+
2014/1/4: 8.1 Offshore Tarapaca,Chile

To sum up: I fear Chile is going to get hit with another massive quake... pattern tells watch for an 8+ coming. December. I really don't like what I'm seeing, because of the massive lull currently taking place in Chile as I explained just before the California one. Daymn.

You can see the 2 jolts on the quake cam [link to abc7.com]

And you mentioned Chile even BEFORE this Cali quake.



Edit: As you also mentioned above lol.

Other than the relation to Chile events I have nothing constructive to add, need to check history for more correlations.. There are others on this thread who are really up-to-date on Cascadia events...

I would not panic yet on Cascadia ripping up, there has been four times in the last 12 years a quake of this magnitude has happened without all hell breaking loose. Chile on the other hand as said has reacted very violently on Northern California events. Stay vigilant, I guess.

The quake led to inconveniences for some commuters in the San Francisco area. Bay Area Rapid Transit trains temporarily moved at a reduced speed after the temblor, leading to delays of about 10 minutes, the transit system's Twitter account said. The move was precautionary, CNN affiliate KGO reported.

We are clueless what can happen, all this week Nuclear Plants been on my mind and for good reason

2 on coast of Calif

Considering the new shaking now happening in Mexico I also fear that So Cal could see at least a 6.5 quake as well.

It is the only area that has not really moved at all yet.

Statistically I would say it's next to impossible to say when the Cascadia megaquake would be because the last one was in the year 1700. I will however check California 6+ quake history and say if there is any place other than Chile to really worry about.

Mexico is now constantly going off on my app.

Thanks Finland! You have pretty much hit the nail on the head previously. Looking forward to more.

Yep, same here!

Yeah have to add that I'm totally clueless when California will go.. because it has been so long and there is nothing to compare basically... we know the danger is there. Pinpointing date is difficult.

Make that one aftershock...

Hello Finland! By the way do you have any sense to a pathern to follow to the return of 1755 Lisbon Megaquake? Thank's in advance!

have to say not at this time... the problem is hundreds of years of no significant quakes. Wish I had an answer, or the professionals as well :(

Luis I will check the last 100 years to see if there is precursors for Portugal..

holy shit what a day, I'm speechless. Didn't Alfey call for Solomon Islands 8+ ?

IDK but I'm getting a little freaked out with the activity today!

How Scientists Know When The Last Big Earthquake Happened Here
At approximately 9 p.m. Pacific Standard Time, Jan. 26, 1700, a magnitude 8 or 9 earthquake occurred on the Cascadia Subduction Zone, a 600-mile stretch between Vancouver Island, British Columbia and Cape Mendocino, California.
