Nvizabillat - March Mega Quake? Part 2
|
|
One person on YouTube predicted a 9.2 in New Zealand or a 10.0 somewhere between California and Alaska happening on March 22 at exactly 04:58:34 UTC. (He can predict the exact time but not the exact location, and besides, there has NEVER been a 10.0 magnitude EQ ! C'mon Man !) Another predicts an 8.0+ somewhere along the Aleutian Islands on either March 21 or 22. (Very bold nonetheless, but not as outrageously farfetched !)
NOBODY knows exactly when the next
"Big One" is going to happen or where it will be, but keep in mind
there are more people researching this now than ever before because of the
technology and information that is currently available, and some of those
researchers, not all, but some believe something could happen this week. So, if
you are in an earthquake prone region, please stay on alert this week, just in case.
I hope you find the following charts
of interest.

This is something I tried to post on RealWeather, but couldn't due to technical issues.
The EQpd count for the Central US is still way down, more on this later in my March report.
See y'all later.
