2 out of 3 areas of excitement do not bode well for the continental US should he prove to be correct. These areas include Yellowstone. He's looking for big movement but I'm hoping he's wrong. Don't feel good about this prediction at all.

That spike precedes the eq by about 24 hours, hmmmm

Glad the pressures let off with no loss of life

Will have to go back to it to finish it. Incredibly interesting, albeit potentially terrifying, information. Thanks for this link.

Yeah...

They said we'd see more large quakes this year. January has had some big shakes so far. I'm glad no real damage or deaths came with this Alaska one. But i have a unsettling pit in my stomach today for the future.

Yup. You can type in more earthquakes for 2018 into your favorite search engine and dozens of articles will pop up due to the presumable slowing down of the earth's rotation.

Youtube also has a variety of reports from geologists and seismic institutes that are saying pretty much the same thing.

I know what you mean by the unsettled feeling. Can't seem to shake it this time. Gonna take a nap for a bit so see ya later.

Not watching at this time, but the video picture reminds me of the swarm of small quakes in the LA area. Just thought it should be mentioned.

Historically, January isn't known for large quakes, 8.0+ in size.

OCT = 4
JAN = 5
FEB = 6
JUN = 6
JUL = 6
AUG = 7
MAR = 9 // 9.0 & 9.3 Japan & Alaska
APR = 9
DEC = 9 // 9.1 Sumatra
NOV = 10
SEP = 11

MAY = 13 // 9.6 Chile

SPRING - MAR APR MAY = 9+9+13 = 31
FALL - SEP OCT NOV = 11+4+10 = 25
WINTER - DEC JAN FEB = 9+5+6 = 20
SUMMER - JUN JULY AUG = 6+6+7 = 19
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

When I did this chart a few years ago, I had been noticing that Spring time always meant more quaking so I went back to 1900 and clicked on all 8.0+ quakes. Today's quake wouldn't show up because of the down grade, even though it came in as a 8.2 on most sites and 8.3 on a few. Then USGS downgraded it to 7.9 and most of the other sites did the same.

Now, when I did do the chart, I remember putting in 7.7 and higher because I knew most quakes were downgraded big time and I wanted the large quakes to see if Spring really was a hot month for quakes. It was and is with May being the #1 month for big quakes.
