If you are worried about Earthquakes in California, you are not alone. Having been studying Earthquakes on the Pacific side of the Americas for quite some time, I have seen patterns, which are problematic for human populations. Often we see Earthquakes over a two-three month period starting in Peru and moving upward into Columbia, Guatemala and into Mexico, which seem to trigger volcanic activity as well. The huge 8.8 Earthquake in Mexico City occurred after two large 7 magnitude quakes in Peru and Chile. Now then there was a 7.8 quake in Chile on June 13 and another large quake in Peru and a Colima Volcanic Eruption, which is the biggest in over a decade.

Additionally in California-Oregon border off the coast 80 clicks was another 7.4 followed a week later by another 5.6 magnitude aftershock and then another 6.8 in Alaska and two more earthquakes in Riverside, CA and Los Angeles 5.3 quake. Often people say they are coincidence, but do you really believe that? In 1985 we learned a valuable lesson of a two-month period of seismic activity, which continued and ended in Mexico City's disastrous quake. Will this repeat? I believe it will.

When studying the Denali Quake we saw a similar off shoot of S and P waves and swarms. We also saw many Earthquakes follow in later months. During both the 1985 period in Chile, Peru, Columbia, Guatemala and eventually Mexico City we saw record heat waves, solar flares and rising waters from storms.

Presumably additional weight on the plates causes quakes too. Could the recent solar flare and sun spot activity be related? Even if it isn't have the previously recent quakes set off a slow chain reaction? After all we saw some Pacific Rim activity before the Indonesia quake and then a whole bunch more since then? Last year was an Earthquake year for South and Central America and we also say a large quake in California on a notorious spot on the San Andreas Fault.

Scientists do not know for sure whether or not the recent accumulation of earthquakes which have hit our Western Americas Coastlines are connected or not, but previous observation shows that in fact they most likely are and that means the worst may still be yet to come. I am thinking we could in fact expect some more major type events soon; meaning more 7-8 or even 9 magnitude quakes are possible. For instance we have not had a slip in the very unstable Juan de Fuca plate in a while? Hold onto your hats in Seattle?

If I were a betting man I would bet there will be more to come. Is your family prepared? Do not be too surprised if we get a biggy here in the United States or one in Central America or even Mexico City.
