The Moon will be full next Friday. That often results in events of geologic intensity. Perhaps these are just a preview of the BIG ONE!
Get ready for a FLOOD of “refugees”...even if no one is even so much as bruised.
7.8 at 12 miles depth. That could be nasty. Prayers for people in the area.
That’ll jiggle your co-hones. Hope all innocents are safe.
Earthquake ping. ..
Look out Bakersfield, Coalinga, Parkfield, Hollister, and San Francisco..... The B-I-G J-U-A-N is coming.....
Probably related to the Japanese earthquakes a few days ago. Ring of Fire and all that.
My one close friend from Ecuador is from Cuenca, an Andean city far from the quake center.
Just waiting for Jellystone!
Big quake in Japan followed by one in Ecuador..doesn’t that usually mean a big one might hit here?
Here is a vid of the building sway from the 11 earthquake in Japan.
They were wrong, even though they think they made them proof, they were mistaken. That quake was a good ways from Tokyo and it still damaged these buildings.
If the cascadia goes, the quake will be a heck of a lot closer to places like Seattle. I woundnt want to be in any of those buildings at that time.

LA Times: A powerful 7.8 magnitude earthquake shook Ecuador’s central coast Saturday, killing at least 28 people and spreading panic as far away as the capital of Quito as it collapsed homes and rattled buildings.
The quake, the strongest in decades to hit Ecuador, was reported at 4:58 p.m. Pacific time, 17 miles from Muisne, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. It was centered in a sparsely populated area of fishing ports popular with tourists. The depth was recorded at 12.4 miles.
Vice President Jorge Glas said in a televised address that there were initial reports of 28 dead in the cities of Manta, Portoviejo and Guayaquil. Among those killed was the driver of a car crushed by an overpass that buckled in Guayaquil, the country’s most populous city.
