the thing about that 6.9 in Indonesia was that it was extremely deep and will ripple IMO ... whether that will lead to a number of 5.9’s spread around or a bigger 7.9 somewhere IDK ... but that kind of jolt will likely work it’s way up & around ... TBD ;)

yes-

a spread perhaps-


[You]/anyone can take two earthquakes on a known fault line,
find the halfway point between the two
along that same fault line...
and you've got a good predictive idea of any 'next'!


But 6.9 Indonesia
must remain bound by the 'pacific ring of fire',
the 'pacific plate',
a massive global plate under ALL the Pacific
… and just off the edge of all of the Western United States.
But that would be quite a distance for such a large object.


hide and watch.

but standard by standard earth activity imo

we'll both be surprised if another doesn't follow the 6.9, albeit at a lower intensity.
good catch!


btw, my text here is no better than 7 copied memes, from
which I pulled this data
I defer to the USGS.
