I have found that http://BraveNewClimate.com has pretty good information and general discussion.

Also the MIT Nuclear Science Engineering dept. has revised the original overview written by Joseph Oehman because they thought it was good, basic information and are now posting updates at http://mitnse.com

On a more personal level, the president is expected to make the trip with wife Michelle and daughters Sasha and Malia. Their presence will be an added attraction in family-oriented Latin America.

Given the progression from Chile, I would think Kamchatka, the Aleutians or Alaska would be more likely event locations. The weird thing about this hypothesis is that it matches a supposedly official report by a Russian Scientific Academy that was prepared for Putin. It predicted a mega quake in the next forthnight along the west coast of the Americas.Since the hypothesis involved some mumbo jumbo about electro magnetic readings in the athmosphere it was mocked by many here on R yesterday, including me. But this Fox interview puts it in a new light.

I was in the Loma Prieta earthquake. I felt like I was getting seasick the night after that quake. The ground just constantly did not feel stable.

I can’t imagine how much worse it must be in Japan.

Just announced on FOX that the death toll is soon expected to OFFICIALLY go over Ten Thousand. I remember Friday, when the first news reports came on, how all the networks were announcing..DEATH TOLL OFFICIALLY ONE ....it sounded so stupid..

theory that the big quake in Chile got the whole Pacific region going, then following the activity around the outlines of the plate..the next area is the pacific Northwest

Or it's possible it spent all the juice in Japan and there'll be mild quakes or nothing at all on this side.
