All future and current earthquake updates will be posted to my latest article, Like the belly of a dragon, Earthquakes Rumble.

Original Article:

A massive earthquake has been reported to have hit off the shores of California this afternoon. CNN News and weather officials have said the quake of a "6.5 magnitude" hit just off the northern coast of California and many areas are reporting power outages,broken windows and disrupted phone lines.

The quake, which ran about 10 miles deep, hit at 4:27 p.m. (7:27 p.m. ET) Saturday, about 25 miles from Eureka.

Reports have not yet been established on the full extent of the damage however the US Coast Guard has had no reports of any injuries as of yet. More reports are expected as the night wears on. Sources are so far relaying that two of the largest power stations in the area are reported to be up and running and in normal working order.

The National Earthquake Information Center shows a myriad of small quakes that have been happening all day along the Pacific coast of North America. After taking a look at the aerial view of where these quakes have been occurring, one might wonder if these Pacific quakes have any relations to the earlier Solomon Island earthquakes.

Is it possible that Solomon Islands has an effect in California - my answer is "YES"

In the Pacific Ocean we have what is called the “ring of fire" (wiki) (map) - it is called this because of the Volcanoes (currently active) and earth crust (plate tectonics) interact in a way that can cause Volcanoes to erupted, earth quakes, tsunami, tidal waves all to happen individually, simultaneously or in a chain reaction, all while interacting at opposite sides of the pacific and effecting each other...

The Solomon Islands have had 30 earthquakes 4.5 magnitude or above in the last seven day, five quakes being 6.0 + with 7.2 mag quake as the largest to date this year!

Every thing in nature is linked in more then just one way, the mistake humanity keeps on making by trying to disassociate it self and every thing else from nature and its cycle.
