There have been 7,000 aftershocks of the Christchurch New Zealand quake of last year .
And There was just a few days ago a 6+ quake in Northern Japan....now this.
I think I got this one right.
Shortly after the Big Japan quake I predicted the next 7+ would be off the coast of Kamchatca or Alaska.

Piers has been right so far.

Amino Acids in Meteorites says:
There was a 6.7 in northern Japan yesterday.
June 23, 2011, Hachinohe, Japan, earthquake, 6.7 magnitude
video of shaking buildings
The depth of the quake must have some bearing on the absence of a tsunami. At a quake depth of 38 miles maybe the sea bed did not shift at all.

Warren says:
Christchurch New Zealand is still getting shocks, up to 5.7, I think there have been 7,000 aftershocks higher than 3 since September so far. Most of the central city is written off, and several suburbs, 5,000 homes, have been condemned as unsafe, due to either structural damage or unstable ground and liquefaction dangers.
A new fault line opened last week, to the east of the previous one.

Tenuc says:
“A high speed stream from CH457 became the dominant solar wind source after noon. There was a sudden change in solar wind parameters at SOHO at 02:18 GMT on June 23, maybe the arrival of the CME observed on June 21″
(thanks to Solen.info)
CH459 is now Earth-facing…

Chile, New Zealand, Japan, Alaska ,,,,,,, Cascadia fault next?
Bad news if it is.

Solar Climate Change: Public Warning for 27th June 2nd July
******************EXCERPT*********************************

In case you missed the Piers Corbyn announcement on Al Jazeera TV on the 14th of June for a major Solar Climate Change for the period 27th June to 2nd July, the above chart should be made public for all to see, so please pass on.
During this period Piers Corbyn expects another major earthquake and a volcanic eruption to take place. So far his "earthquake trial" has been very accurate since the start of the trial in March, so who would argue with him that we will not see anything of note during this time frame.
Stay tuned for more.
Godzilla messing with Deadliest catch crews???? LOL!
fyi
Quakes scare me!
Correct...after Japan, lots of stories about the Pacific ring of fire..the previous other BIG quakes..NZ, Japan, Chile..had all been at the corners of the Pacific plate..what’s left is the NE corner...the Cascadia fault..
The effect of solar winds on earth tectonic behaviour..
got to add that to my list..
Thanks!
Ya cool off down there yet?
we’re in the 70s - low 80s next few days..
Marine layer in control around here....bit cool yet this morning...still not seeing the Sun!
See the link at #10.
Things taint sounding good that is for sure.
That is a correct observation. The tsunami warning was sent as a precaution and once the depth was determined lent credence to it not being created in the first place.
