I was worried about these NZ quakes yesterday when there were only 5 of them. Now I'm really worried - there have been 13 already today! This can't be good.

I do wonder if the big EQ that Dutch was expecting somewhere in the greater Indonesia area could be avoided if there are enough moderate quakes to compensate for the movement that needs to happen - such as these NZ quakes(along with others in the area)? It would take a lot of movement to compensate, though. As a reminder, we had all of these biggies right in a row:

8/18- 6.6 Philippines, 6.8 Sumatra, 6.9 Sumatra
8/21- 6.9 Banda Sea

I just posted about this. I am concerned about it, especially since Dutch was targeting this area for a mega quake. Well, he said Indonesia but I think that whole area surrounding the immediate Indonesia area is included.

I did not realize this about the AK quake last time!
