The list of moderate earthquakes shaking the globe include a 5.6 in Tonga, followed by a 5.1, and 5.0 in Kermadec, twin quakes in Baja, California and an earthquake swarm in the Virgin Islands. There was also a 5.3 off the eastern coast of Japan, a 5.9 in the South Sandwich Islands near Antarctica, a 5.3 in Bolivia on the Nazca plate and a 5.4 earthquake in Vanuatu in the Pacific. I believe conditions exist for the possible outbreak of another large quake over the next 72 to 96 hours. People in high-risk seismic zones should remain alert for the possibility of quake events.
