March Uptick in Earthquake, Tsunami, and Volcanic Activity

The Ring of Fire along the Pacific Rim is increasing earthquake, tsunami, and volcanic activity.

March 2015 is ending with a bang – the globe is experiencing a wave of volcanoes, large earthquakes, and tsunamis, with most of the activity rocking the Western Pacific Rim and the Antarctic Plate.

Large Earthquakes Hit San Francisco, Peru, and Chile

The Earth with bricks falling around it.

Large earthquakes are occurring along the western coastlines of North and South America.

Within hours, large earthquakes struck along the western coasts of both North and South America.

South America is no stranger to large quakes, but the USA has been lucky to avoid large earthquakes. The time has come, nevertheless. It appears that North America is going to start feeling their fair share.

Large Quakes In 24 Hours

(Remember that USGS typically downgrades quakes)

  1. 5.7  Chile
  2. 6.4 Chile
  3. 6.0 California (San Francisco)
  4. 6.9 Peru (tsunami watch generated)

There’s more to come, I am sure.

Uptick in Earthquakes And Volcanic Eruptions – A Serious Uptick

A picture of a temperature thermometer that says problem, emergency, crisis, disaster.

Large earthquakes, tsunami warnings, and volcanic eruptions are rocking with the Earth today.

This week has started out quite active, to say the least. My Disaster Alert App has been going off all day – and signaling BIG movement – all over the planet.

We need to pay attention to this activity.

Large Quakes 6-23-14

Like I said, my app is going off as I write this article, so I expect more quakes to occur after I push “publish.”
