Check out this link! While there, look at the links at the bottom, those maps are all very interesting.

Hubby doubts their veracity.....dunno, but if they are true, they are interesting.

Wow...i can't believe how much earthquake activity just on April 3rd...! Interesting link, and scary..!
Savingdogs..plenty of folks looking at your thread and my last one about radiactive debris, but no replies..hmmmmm
I guess folks are tired of hearing about earthquakes and radiactive news...Oh well, it isn't pleasant stuff...

That's really interesting. Goes to show this old planet is moving around quite a bit.

I thought several of those maps were interesting. But I just don't know who is keeping them up and updating them....it does not really say.

I was watching the news to see if any local news matched the incidents reported but did not see any correlation, but who knows what all gets reported. There sure seems to be a lot of Hazmat incidents going on at any given time.

But I found the earthquake one to be rather surprising.

I agree! I also sit right on the ring of fire so I'm watching that earthquake map.......

I'm in a subduction zone area now, grew up near the San Andreas fault however so I'm more familiar with earthquakes than I'd like to be.

We are currently 16 miles from Mt. St. Helens so I don't like to think of that tectonic plate moving north and "subducting"!

Frankly, the information on the link provide is pretty shocking..! I had no idea so much earthquake activity was going on.This convinces me more than ever, that nuke power is not safe.I don't buy the story nuke reactors are designed to withstand a big quake,blah,blah, blah..One reason, and likely the biggest is greed.I think the nuke industry takes any shortcut it can to save money and avoid expense.It's human nature for the most part, although i do believe their are some left with integrity and will do the right thing.I talking about using crappy materials like inferior concrete, payed off people, to look the other way, in oversight positions. I'm not very trusting when it comes to this stuff.In my book, earthquakes and nuke power are big trouble, i don't care what the " experts " say...

I've been "for"nuclear power but not in California or near faults, etc. They had proposed one in Diablo Canyon near an earthquake fault and even asa young woman it did not make sense to me and I protested it.

Now that this has happened in Japan, I have to wonder what on earth they were thinking building that where they have tsunamis and earthquakes regularly.

SD,
Here is another site for earthquakes

What is going on in PR????

That is an interesting one! It looks like a lot of small quakes. Isn't that usually indicative of things? Either a pending volcano if you are in the area of one or the release of pressure in a strike-slip fault zone if you are in one. I don't know where Puerto Rico lies in that.

I live close enough to Mt. Saint Helens that if we began having frequent small earthquakes, I would go to a relative's house temporarily. We are out of the scary zone but .........
