A new earthquake forecast has been issued for the coasts of the Northwest United States (Washington, Oregon, and NW California). Additionally, new warnings have been issued for the West Pacific (Papua New Guinea, Japan, and New Zealand), and for South America (Colombia).
Each area which has been warned has a detailed explanation in the most recent Global Earthquake Forecast video. See the video here:
After issuing this video, just as expected, the first round of activity has already struck in Colombia South America.
The forecast issued last night (March 15th) called for a midrange M5.0 to strike Colombia. Today, March 16th, the expected midrange M5.0 earthquake occurred inside the country of Colombia after weeks without any such activity.
The earthquake which struck Colombia was large enough to make national news in the South American country, and cause light to moderate damage to buildings.

Glad to be here, I'll be posting at least once per day on earthquake and geophysics related topics.
Peace out!

Great work as usual.
I created a Steemit account to support you.
Looking forward for more forecasts. :)
This is awesome news, we're really so lucky to have you on the platform.
@ausbitbank and I have been watching your youtube channel for years, absolutely stoked to have you here sharing your amazing information.

Welcome!
Welcome to steemit :)
thank you! Very cool service , and good for preserving posts from censorship!
Indeed, blockchain technology is pretty amazing, Especially for preserving knowledge. Once information is there, its there forever.
Welcome to Steemit!
I'm in St. Louis too, definitely have to be keeping my eye on the New Madrid fault. Fascinating video all around.
I hope not in CALIFORNIA. I want to be able to use Steemit!
Welcome to SteemIt! also!
Created this account as well as my twitch account only for Dutch..LOL now to figure out how it works...Much Love Dutch!!
Me too, I just joined. I've been on other writing sites but man oh man, this one is a lot more complicated. Maybe we need a "Steemit for Dutchlings" how-to post somewhere. I intend to make some posts myself since I used to write regularly for sites that either shut down or were too demanding. I'm only on one other now. (from nipponquakewatch)
I agree that new users should be greeted with video tutorial and I hope it will come after rebranding of the site. For someone who's been in crypto for years things here weren't hard to grasp but compared to twitter or other social media services, it can get quite complex.
Created this account same as Twitch! So glad to follow you here with my fellow Dutchlings!! Much Love Dutch and Dutchess <3
Hi Lana, this is nipponquakewatch. My "writing site" name is pentatonicscale.
Great work Dutch! I appreciate your dedication and support your work. Following you on steemit using the same username as on twitch.
Hello..Totally new here at this steemit.. :)
Can I ask a question? I hope that I can make myself understood since I am Swedish.. I'll try to explain the best that I can (Google translate is cheating ;) ) Since I am a animal loving person I like all kinds of animals and from time to time I check the sharks that are tagged by people and via GPS can be seen swimming around the world.. :) I think that is so cool.. The other day I was looking at it again AND to my surprise there was not a single tagged shark along the cost of California.. Om the other side of US there was many and also down outside Peru, Colombia etc. I found ONE tag in the middle of the ocean between Hawaii and US and that seemed to be a big turtle.. I wonder why? As I lived at my farm before I lost it I used to pay close attention to animals behaviour(mostly birds) for weather changes.. Have anyone else thought about this?
All the best //C~Sweden
I know there have been studies done on animal behavior before earthquakes, but I can't come up with the name off the top of my head.
Thank you Pentaronicscale for your answer..
I think that it's really strange that not one tagged shark was in the area.. they must like the waters o California..
I will try and finthat study you mention.. :)
It i really interesting to stidy the animals, they know more than humans.. :)
BUT... I have o say that the lastyearsI have had touble sleeping, the best description I can give is that I am REALLY tired but my body says "run for your life"
I used to live at a faram(beforeI lost it due to a separation from my ex) and we live in a forest here there was lost of mooses and orher animals.
Then they put up BIG windpower things at the mountain a little bit rom where I lived baout 1 km.. And after they where in action all mooses disappeared, the hunters noticed that too,but there was nothing said about it in the news..
I read that this wind things can cause neurodamage to offsprings of he animals and thats why they moved..

Hi! I am a robot. I just upvoted you! I found similar content that readers might be interested in:

I bet the tourists at Etna volcano were told, "all is well". Its just an erupting volcano. Nothing out of the ordinary will happen while your there. At least it made for some exciting video.
Welcome!
Great new outlet for your lifesaving efforts Dutch. Breath easy.
Thanks Dutchsinse! Spot on as usual!!! Much love to you and the Dutchess!!! ❤
Smashed that Followed button!!!
