Something big's a foot

Earth Changes Media has been reporting a swarm of quakes since February which has increased along the Alaska Aleutian Chain. It is unusual to see such high magnitudes ranging in the 4's and 5's as it relates to 'swarms'. Usually they remain in the 2's and 3's. But there appears to be more to this story----
The earthquake swarm at Baja California continues as reported since February, along with the more recent swarm which occurred off the Oregon Coast. When you put this puzzle together, it is quite probable --- we are looking at a potential Cascadia Subduction Zone eruption.
The USGS recently came out with an announcement stating they expect with 99% assurance, a magnitude 6.7 or larger quake will occur in California ---- in 30 years. No one knows for sure why they came out with such a ridiculous statement leaving the geological and seismological community both laughing and embarrassed. Any geology 101 student can tell you with "100% assurance" there will be several large earthquakes hitting California over the next 30 years.
But the more serious question would be - are we seeing current signs telling of a coming large eruption along the west coast in the next "30 months" or even sooner than this.

Hi there! Frightening...
Sorry for this short visit, but I just wanted to say thanks for your comments on my blogs. This weekend, I’m going to take a musical break, and next week I’ll make a very short trip, crossing South Atlantic. I’ll try to catch up with your posts as soon as possible. Meanwhile, leave you with some chocolate champagne truffles at Blogtrotter.
Have a lovely weekend and an excellent week!

frightening, yes.
but can we be prepared as much as we possibly can be?

something big is afoot, for sure.
the whole pacific rim is going off in short bursts, now the new madrid shook. You only need to look at an earthquake map to see something is going on. Wondering why the USGS isn't telling us something.

perhaps because of the fear of anarchy by a population that no longer has anything to lose...
