Megathrust Earthquake Overdue For U.S. North-West Coast

Might be overdue, but we’re not seeing enough activity at the plate boundary to get excited.
If you watch the time-dependent map of the quakes in Japan up to and after the big one, there is a constant stream of 3s, 4s, 5s, and 6s, in a linearly increasing fashion, up to BAM!!! 9.1 hits.
The same patterns were seen in Chile prior to the 1960 9.5 quake there.
In fact I’m expecting the next big one to be Chile/Nazca plate or the NE Australian/New Zealand region.
NE Australia and the Coral Sea region is seeing ALOT of activity right now! And we have seen a number of events in the northern hemisphere and not much south-ways, so it wouldn’t surprise me at all to see one down there.
