Acapulco is a well-known vacationing spot

We've seen a significant upward
spike of big quakes in the last few hours, with the big
M7.1 quake in
Mexico the highest magnitude.
I have the link to the
Twitter feed in the
Links
& Resources
section of tonight's update which captures the phenomenon
known as
"earthquake lights"
so please take a look at
this weird electro-magnetic flashing that sometimes
accompanies large quakes.
I am still waiting for confirmation
about the phantom
M6.5 quake that may have occurred on
the north end of the
Cascadia
subduction zone today
and also the
M4.2 quake that occurred in the
New
Madrid seismic zone in
southeastern
Missouri tonight after the big
M7.1 quake in
Mexico.
Like I said earlier, the seismic
patterns the past few weeks have been strangely out of the
ordinary, and this seems to be bringing larger magnitude
quakes on a delayed basis.
Watch and see!
