Hmm... 7.7 magnitude earthquake... Could it be that this little shake was nothing more than Iran testing some of it's Russian sourced nuclear material?

imho, at least time to be extra prayerful and alert--particularly in some regions.

May God guide each of us and may we walk close to Him in all our doings.

[Quix]

True. The closest alert Stan had on the area was the 9th April at the Western end of the Aleutians.

However, Stan's methodology is virtually exclusively tied to temperature differentials between ocean measured temperatures from a NOAA satellite particularly over techtonic plate fault areas in the oceans of the world.

This quake was evidently approx 30 miles deep well inland of the coast at the Northern area of the Kamchetka Penn.

It's a bit . . . something . . . to deride Stan for not having an alert well off the map of the areas he purports to have to do with. And, he does not claim to have a flawless system--merely a system which offers alerts to POTENTIAL trouble spots above normal average potentials for the world's fault zones which are in the oceans.

At least, that's my understanding of his system and it's focus.

[Quix]

Somewhat interestingly, the 9 April alert at the end of the Aleutians was due East of the recent biggish quake. And today, 20 APR due West of the Kamchatka quake is another alert. Not sure what it means or implies but it's a bit interesting.

I'm sure it means nothing but scoff material to you, however.

LOL!

Those of words of wisdom. I keep getting Japan twin cities are overdue for a 'big one'. Some rough times are ahead in more then one respect. Keep that gas tank filled too, prices are heading a lot higher, coupled with 'shortages in some regions.

THANKS.

YUP.

Well put.

Very informative data!
