8_27_2012 -- MASSIVE Earthquake Swarm in South California



90 miles ENE of Tijuana Mexico -- near the border of California and Mexico -- a series of mid-range earthquakes (5.0M and 4.0M) struck.. followed by multiple DOZENS of subsequent earthquakes in the same location ... a swarm ... not really aftershocks.. since the largest of the tremors was a 5.4M.

Which, to me, means we need to watch for a LARGE earthquake at the end of this chain reaction.. the 5.4M wouldn't be large enough to cause such movement that we're actually having.

If you live in the southern California area -- or along the west coast extending near the fresh lava fields off the coast of Oregon... also along the edge of the north American Craton... New Mexico, Colorado, Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri.. and the east coast states extending northeast to New Brunswick Canada.

Be prepared for followup movement in adjacent areas to the south California swarm zone.

    There's also a possibility that the small tremors relieved the pressure enough to actually thwart a larger quake. Just no way to predict which way that will go - but there are masses of small tremors everyday in various locations. They were watching several swarms in the Yellowstone area just a year or two ago. Also around that time there were several swarms west of Oregon and that area is overdue for a major catastrophic quake......they thought that was going to be it, but it never materialized. It would do people a bit of good, though, to get themselves a plan in case of one.
