I’ve always said that earthquake magnitudes will increase over the next few months, and we are, indeed, witnessing that today.
We used to think that a string of 4.0+ quakes were large, but that’s now a daily occurrence we no longer get concerned about.
We need to be closely watching today’s quakes that are now a common 6.0 and above because by the end of 2014, I expect them to climb to 7.0 and higher.
6.0+ Quakes This Week
- 6.3 Santiago Pinotepa Nacional, Mexico
- 6.9 Ferndale, California
- 6.8 South Sandwich Islands
- 6.3 Kunisaki-shi, Japan
- 6.2 Paracas, Peru
- 6.3 Sechura, Peru
- 7.0 Iquique, Chile
- 6.2 Iquique, Chile
- 6.5 Mohean, India
Keep watching these magnitudes climb over the next weeks and months.
