I have been following this closely. No aftershocks of note. Very peculiar, and VERY worrisome. Are we about to see something of catastrophic proportions? As every hour passes, I am thinking this 7.1 is a FORESHOCK. I cannot describe the foreboding that I am feeling now.

Someone else pointed out how Japan, New Zealand, Chile, and now Mexico have all had major quakes along the Pacific Plate within the pat decade. I worry that the Pacific Plate is slowly ripping itself apart. This could be bad for California or Alaska. Oregon and Washington are on the Juan De Fuca and NA Plate boundary so I am unsure what that portends.

It could be the quake was caused by a volcanic eruption and not a usual plate shift and settling aftershock type of event ?

This link shows video of a plume emitting from the volcano and also cites there have been small tremors, and maybe these volcanic tremors are lower than what usgs reports on their maps for earth quakes?

Not sure but the volcano may be acting up as a result or cause of today's 7.1?

I am also worried about the possibility of another, larger quake following this. Didn’t something similar happen in Alaska some years back?

Widget, I’ve been here since 2000 and I too get sick of seeing potentially interesting threads hijacked by people who think they are comedians or by people with religious obsessions. However, the best thing to do is ignore them.

It is odd. Am in Yucatan peninsula, in Merida, this week. Nothing felt here at all.
