Today's worldwide earthquake activity and China's aftershocks (here you go Brendan)


After the 7.9 earthquake in China on May 12, China has been experiencing numerous aftershocks in the Sichuan-Gansu border region, approximately 17 since May 16.
May 16, 5.0; May 18, 4.5 and 4.4; May 19, 5.2, 5.1, 4.9; May 20, 4.5; May21, 4.6, 4.3; May 22, 4.4.
The recent activity in China has sparked activity on the Eurasian, Australian and Philippine plates in the areas of Malasia and Indonesia as well as the upper North American and Gorda plates off of Northern California, Oregon, Washington and Alaska, which was to be expected. My predictions for upcoming activity are: Northern India region, in and off the coast of Japan, continued activity off the south-east China border, and off the coast of Oregon and Washington. --Eve
