Quake Watch 2009

Lots of 3.0-4.0's up and down California today...lots of them triggering new earthquakes. Could get interesting in the next day or 2.

Apparently there is a depleted uranium site in Chino Hills area -
That doesn't sit well.

They are forever revising...
I watch this happen almost daily -
Something will appear - and then disappear...

Getting busy round LA then?

Europe in general seems to be getting lively over the last 48 hours.

Most recently a 5.3 in Romania(according to USGS but 4.7 according to RSOE)

Yes - it has been very busy and a couple relatively close to downtown...
anything over 4 raises a red flag for me...
and anytime they hit in the ocean - not far from land.

Um and yesterday - there were two in unlikely places -
Pennsylvania and Ohio...

I'm predicting that there will be a magnitude 7.1 or larger earthquake somewhere in the world within 5 days of this post.

A strong 6.0 just hit Gurrero, Mexico. Could trigger more quakes north and south of the location...

I was expecting a slightly larger one than this although it could still occur... keeping the prediction of a 7.1 or larger open as per original post...

I am with you on this one. USGS world map shows only 146 over past week, and that is usually higher. When things go really quiet, a bigger one seems more likely. I really don't know what I am talking about though...

If I had to guess a region, I would take the safe bet: off the coast of New Guinea, no tsunami.

^ Totally agreed. That's what I'm going on.. it's probably been 5 days now so my original prediction was incorrect. However, there is still time as the number of quakes is still relatively low...

New prediction... at least a 6.5 in the next 3 days.

Magnitude 6.1 Guatemala

Hmm a pretty rare quake has hit 62 km from Graz in Austria, It struck in as a pretty mild 4.5 so not to expect much in the way of damage, But all be it.. Its a pretty rare place to have one,

Getting a bit busy in Saudi Arabia. I guess these are only the 4.5+ ones so there must be loads of smaller ones. They make a stright line in GE almost.

There's speculation that there could be something volcanic brewing in the Arabian Shield geothermal area.
