West Coast Quake Danger Today? This Week?

For the past two weeks, the Pacific Tectonic Plate has been smashing Asia and South America with large earthquakes.  Is the USA next? It could be.

The image, from the US Geological Survey, shows “Significant” earthquakes for the past 30 days.  Notice where one hasn’t struck yet?  The US west coast.

The major activity began in Russia with a Magnitude 6.4

Time  2016-03-20 22:50:20 UTC

Location 54.333°N 162.799°E

Depth 31.3 km

 That seemed to have triggered the Pacific Tectonic Plate to shift to the south and smash into Vanuatu, a small island chain in the South Pacific.  They got hit with a Magnitude 6.9

Time 2016-04-03 08:23:53 UTC

Location 14.352°S 166.821°E

Depth 35.0 km

Three days later, Vanuatu got it again, with a Magnitude 6.7

Time 2016-04-06 06:58:48 UTC

Location 14.082°S 166.598°E

Depth 24.0 km

The very next day, Vanuatu got slammed yet a THIRD time, also a Magnitude 6.7

Time 2016-04-07 03:32:53 UTC

Location 13.994°S 166.571°E

Depth 26.8 km

It took seven days for the Pacific Tectonic Plate to move and when it did, it seems to have moved to the north, northwest, because that’s when Japan started getting hit – and hit hard.  It started with a Magnitude 6.2

Time 2016-04-14 12:26:36 UTC

Location 32.849°N 130.635°E

Depth 10.0 km

Two and a half HOURS later, another hit in Japan, this one a Magnitude 6.0

Time 2016-04-14 15:03:46 UTC

Location 32.693°N 130.732°E

Depth 6.0 km

 Six HOURS after that, it got worse, Japan got suffered a Magnitude 6.4

Time 2016-04-14 21:50:27 UTC

Location 14.523°S 166.352°E

Depth 16.0 km

 Eighteen HOURS after that, things got MUCH worse, when a Magnitude 7.0 struck

Time 2016-04-15 16:25:06 UTC 

Location 32.782°N 130.726°E

Depth 10.0 km

Twenty MINUTES after that, a Magnitude 5.7 hit again

Time 2016-04-15 16:45:56 UTC

Location 32.880°N 130.846°E

Depth 10.0 km

It was this final 7.0 and 5.7 that seem to have hurled the Pacific Tectonic Plate to the east because one day later, Ecuador got utterly smashed by a whopping Magnitude 7.8 (eight times worse than Japan)

Time 2016-04-16 23:58:37 UTC

Location 0.371°N 79.940°W

Depth 19.2 km

At this point, if Plate Tectonics is any kind of science at all, one would think that it would be a guessing game as to whether or not the plate would move back toward Japan.  But somethingelse took place that gives a hint of what the plate is doing. The Colima Volcano in Mexico began spewing steam and smoke.  That means something underground is putting pressure on the chamber beneath the volcano.  Given the location of the Colima Volcano, it isn’t rocket science to conclude that the pressure is coming from the Pacific Tectonic Plate.

The map below shows the location of the 7.8 earthquake, the location of the Colima Volcano and thus gives an indication of the direction the Pacific Tectonic Plate is now moving. North – Northwest . . . toward California. (Click image to enlarge)
