Following Haiti’s 7.0 earthquake many have kept up with the earthquake listing in hopes that nothing like this happens again without warning.
Many that know me understand my deep need for connecting earthquake dots. But when everyone looks for anything over a 5.0, I notice something different of California.
Earthquake Contractions of 2010?
Prior to a mother giving birth, she experiences contractions as sometimes they are false alarms. Today I note California’s Braxton contractions.

Puerto Rico has also had some “hits” today, but nothing larger than a 3.4 magnitude.
The largest “hit” today was a 5.6 in Sucre Venezuela.
Mapping Earthquakes Out:
- Venezuela is south, southeast of Haiti.
- Puerto Rico is the island located east of Dominican Republic. Haiti is located on the west side to Dominican Republic.
- Baja California, Mexico is south, southeast of California.
Even though this information does not conclude that an earthquake will strike at the magnitude of 7.0 as it has in Haiti. It’s always good to be aware of where earthquakes may travel to.
The Venezuela earthquake did not result in any injuries or damages.
Alaska usually receives daily earthquakes. Today they only received one. Yesterday they received three. Two days ago they received five. Three days ago they received sixteen. Four days ago they received seven. Five days ago they received five.
Three days ago Haiti was struck by that 7.0.
On January 10, 2010 California had over twenty earthquakes including an offshore 6.5.
And on January 9, 2010 Solomon Islands were the highlight of the day with a 6.0 followed by multiple aftershocks. Philippines also lands on the list of earthquakes as it remains located within the sector.
Connecting the dots is not an easy task. Without a stand-up globe it’s nearly impossible, but can be done with a full stretch map. All in all, it’s been a quiet day for the world as we still try to assist in Haiti’s 7.0 aftermath without having to worry about anything over a 5.6. Or at least for today.
Have a good night and a better tomorrow.
