I was reviewing the aftershock swarm of earthquakes off the coast of Japan recently, and made a video highlighting concern for a 5.1 magnitude along the southeastern coast. Not a significant earthquake right? Wrong, its all about location, look at the fault lines. This recent 3.5 is very close to the triple plate junction along the California coastline. The western US has shown a spike in activity today, we may be headed for a significant earthquake, stay alert everyone, I will monitor the situation and keep you updated to the best of my ability. I am concerned however, first the swarm under mount saint helens, now this.
