Completing the triangle?

Like a lotta folks around here I watch the earthquake maps on a more or less regular basis. Checking in this morning the Ring of Fire caused me to raise an eyebrow. 7.0 in Okinawa, 8.8 in Chile ... and nothing in North America. It's kind of like the third angle of a triangle is missing.

Or maybe it's just my imagination.

SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Hi Kelli Marie, I have been saying that for at least a couple years. It is so lopsided, I used to say!

How right you are, neighbor.

Port Townsend? A stone's throw.

Did you feel the 3.1 last week? We didn't.

However, my cats have been acting strangely. Hard to explain. Their behavior is not out of character. It's kind of like it's ... magnified. The games of running up and down the hall last longer, are more frequent, have a touch of mania to them. The little tuxedo kitten, who despite being neutered, has an occasional tendency to "mark territory," has me jumping about in a running battle. (Hand sanitizer has other convenient uses.) My Siamese doesn't duck into the library for her long daynaps. She sticks to me like glue. And they are both more watchful ... of something, prowling longer before they settle down for naps.

Normal behavior but accentuated.

Do you have pets?

(And I won't comment on the world map this morning except to note an interesting sprinkling of 5-somethings... grin)

I noticedthe triangle missing it's 3rd point as well.. Though, I don't dare to ask where it will be!

If the waves from the Japan quake gave the subduction zone in Chile the push it needed to finally go, I hope that the Chile quake didn't give the Cascadia zone a push it needs..Or the SAF for that matter.

I saw that too, but dismissed it as I can't imagine what triangulation would have to do with quake events.....and yet should it occur, I can see the headlines describing it just that way. i.e. " The 2010 Pacific triangle of destruction" or some such thing.....but will it be more of an equilateral triangle, placing it in Alaska? Or an obtuse placing it on the U.S. west coast? I hope it is just our imaginations....

Hi Vladamir!

My speculations would be Alaska, British Columbia, Eureka, or Riverside. I also expect a moderate quake near hollister.

We'll see soon, eh?

Most likely finish of triangle could be Salton Sea on south to tip of Baja.

It really has caught my attention about how many trio dreams have been posted lately--three pines, three bears and I posted a couple of days ago about the 3 black cats running across the room in the shape of a triangle.

Black cat to me represents bad luck--I also thought today of the triangle Chile--Japan--the other tip does end in North America.

Side note: my dog has had an upset stomach for days and so has my grandson--lots of throwing up.

I hope this triangle thing does not pan out. I counted 72 quakes today on USGS 4.7 and above and 86 yesterday---the earth is certainly being shaken a lot.

The map that Don Hollister posted has lines going through Texas and the middle Mississippi region. The 1906 huge Chile & San Francisco quakes also got my attention.

God help us if there is a repeat in the pattern.
Love,
Betty
