That wouldnt surprise me one bit.
On a similiar thread last night I remarked that the big quake followed a similar event near Antartica by only a few days. Now this....
The "Ring of Fire" could be warming up big time.
Just look at all the very large quakes rocking Japan during the Fall... St. Helens, Mexico... the Sumatra Earthquake, so makes sense something is going on -- something more major than people are letting on (IMO)
It is a long way to the Ring of Fire to this volcano.
USGS has a list of the most recent earthquakes. There have been a few between Japan & Alaska -- which is near where this volcano is.
The scary thing is what happened in 1812 -- around this time of year -- near St Louis, Missouri.
In late January, there was a 7.8 earthquake -- huge for the US. Then ten days later one of the largest earthquakes [recorded] hit the continential 48 states -- an 8.0 quake.
I am not saying this will happen, but there have been a number of 6's and 5's in the Indonesia/India area since the 9.0. One of the things obscured by the 9.0 is that there was a major 7.5 quake less than 4 hours after the 9.0
The ring of fire is still hopping -- but Kamchatka is probably only 5,000 miles away -- maybe only 3,000 to 4,000 miles away.
